Hey, Jim. I'm visiting from the future (Oct. 2023). I'll bet when you were doing this you never expected Resin work to become the thing you are famous for!! It's fascinating to see & hear the problems you faced back then, and to know how well you have overcome them these days. As you often say, while you by no means know EVERYTHING there is to know about resin, you have a very thorough working knowledge of what it takes to produce a perfect, almost flawless bowl, hollowform or bowl set using epoxy resin. Your progress in only TWO YEARS is phenomenal!! It's hardly surprising that you have now surpassed the 100k subscription mark!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Same here. Found this video Oct. 19, 2023 and thought something like: "Wow, he started doing this only 3 years ago - and look what masterpieces he has created since!"
As always I am in awe! 🙏👏
October 23rd for me! Same feelings about Jim and how far he's come.
Me too, I just found Jim's playlist and watching from his 1st video to the year 2023 I might have missed. 🙂
Me too! Coming at you from 2024! ^_^ I just found you yesterday! I watched "The Ocean Cave Vase" yesterday, sent it to a friend, and "The Boxelder Burl Coral Bowl" today and I assumed "He must have been doing this for decades!" God has really gifted you! And it's so wonderfully obvious that you love what you do! Maybe one day I can afford a beautiful creation made by you! ^_^ Until then, I will enjoy binging all of your videos. Have a blessed day! ^_^
You're a unique genius to choose such a unique combination.
I'm excited to see what you are going to do with this.
Today, you are a Master at resin casting. Did you ever guess that you would become so advanced? 😎
Of course I did! Ha ha! Thanks for your comments!
What an absolute treat to see your first resin piece! I have watched you turn some of the most beautiful resin pieces I've ever seen in the time since you made this video! Not that I know a thing about turning resin or wood, I just find it a relaxing escape from my stressful life. To that end, I thank you! I love that you still maintain the same humble personality today, you make me laugh, I love your channel!! Its an inspiration that you have become such a master artist of your craft in 3 short years. This might be my favorite video!
Thank you very much!
I had to laugh when you were trying to get that guy out... Reminding me of an otter trying to break open a shell... Man, I love that bowl...
The struggle is real, hahah. Thanks.
I have thanks to watching your work turned resin bowls and I get the feeling you get when you put a finished bowl in your hand. Just wish I had a lathe that could do bowls that size, I do have a lot of waste! Beautiful bowl, again thank you.
Thanks 😊
I love the pure honesty in all of your videos. We all learn through trial and error. In the words of Thomas Edison - "I didn't fail 1000 times, I just found 1000 ways it didn't work". Your skill is undeniable and its great to see you expanding and reaching into something out of your comfort zone. And in the end the bowl looks incredible!
Thanks Matthew, the resin is a fresh and new thing for me. I love learning new types of turning!
Nice bowl Jim! I use N/C lacquer all the time in my piano business. With lacquer finish you have to build up the finish first. Then let the lacquer cure for a 2-3 weeks. If you don't let it cure it will just gum up the sandpaper. Then rub out the lacquer with 280, 320, 400 with a good quality mineral spirits using a spray bottle for the mineral spirits. This levels the finish out and gets rid of all the unwanted marks. Just make sure you don't rub through the finish. Then buff and you will have a real nice lacquer finish.
Interesting, how many coats do you put on? I’m surprised that you start at such a low grit, I would of thought 400 would of been the lowest you would start at, thanks for the info, Jim.
@@SpragueWoodturning 6 to 8 coats but you have to get build up of finish before you start rubbing the finish out. if you started with a higher grit you would be there for ever rubbing out a finish.They have been doing finished on pianos like this for the past 80 years.
Yay!!! Resin time. Thanks so much. I want to thank you and all the other talented people making RUclips videos. Due to health issues I’m house bound and watching your videos help with the depression. It’s so generous of all of you to share your time and efforts with all of us. And seeing the respect all of you woodworkers have for each other really makes my day. 🥰🙌🥰
Thank you and get well soon!
Well put! I too have health issues that keep me cooped up indoors for large parts of the day. These people who produce all this content for those of us who, for whatever reason, are stuck indoors really help to keep me from going completely insane. As you say, the immobility is depressing, but while I can live vicariously through others I can keep it at bay. I'm fortunate to have a very understanding wife who also keeps my spirits up!
You pressed the record button and unlike most wannabe RUclipsrs like me, you have grown remarkably fast. This is impressive. Thank you for your inspiration.
I appreciate it! Thanks very much!
There are charts that relate temperature to curing time for epoxy. By raising the temperature from 20 degrees celsius to 30 degree celsius epoxy cures twice as fast. Another way epoxy is used to treat wood is by using a vacuum tank that saturates every little crack and crevis and deletes all air bubbles. This bowl looks great.
I actually debated putting this in the vacuum chamber before the pressure pot for a few minutes to get the epoxy into areas that it might not of gotten too. Thanks for the info, Jim.
Boy, with this being you're first one, just imagine the beautiful pieces you're going to be able to come up with!
Absolutely beautiful. Take care & God Bless!!!
I’ve made some pretty incredible pieces since this first resin bowl, thanks 🙏
I think that's ONE of the prettiest bowls I have ever seen you make Jim.. It's a stunner..! I use a plastic hammer around the side of the bowl before doing the same to the bottom, but don't hit it too hard or it'll cause the resin to crack, just tap,tap,tap... I think you may have had some sticking on the sides, and if you use a translucent container you can actually see where it's still adhering. Nice work.
Great tips, thanks for the info!
THANK YOU for your video. As a newbie, its FINALLY nice to see the trials and tribulations of what us mere mortals go through. So many videos are PRO's and leave some of us having more questions than when we started with. Great Job.
Great! Thanks for subbing!
Hi Jim....this is a project with a lot of unique and artistic convergences. That burl alone would probably not have had enough integrity to withstand hand gouging; but, with the epoxy's permeation (especially throughout the burl's weak spots) provided more than enough solidity for you to do what you do best....turn a real gem! Best to you and be well......eh!
One of the benefits of doing resin work is I can now save the pieces that were no longer save able and burned in the wood stove! As always, thanks for your kind comments! Stay safe... eh
Wowza! That is an amazing resin bowl, and to think this is your first one! Great job! I’m appreciative for your voiceover letting us know what you are doing and why. It’s a learning experience for me! Great job! Bravo!
Thank you so much!
My first comment is I appreciate your admiration for other turners. I've seen their art and also respect them.
Second, I'm very impressed with your inlays. I kept picturing this bowl with an edge inlay with the blue resin. I have no idea how it would work, but I'm thinking your imagination would make it work.
Third, the enthusiasm in your voice showed how much you enjoyed playing with resin.
Fourth point is that is one beautiful bowl.
Keep up these great videos.
That’s awesome! Thanks for your kind comments Alan I really appreciate it!
Such lovely bowl the blue and browns of the bowl emreminds me of lakes and lands. I like the illusion
It’s pretty cool, thanks!
I have a suggestion for getting your resin out of the bucket. If you could rig a jack that can be jacked downward, gently, it might be easier to get it out. Good luck.
I now drill a hole in the bottom of the bucket and apply compressed air, it works great! Thanks
Dang that's gorgeous!! I figured it out.
1. The guy who doesn't care
2. The guy who does an ok job
3. The guy who does awesome work
4. The guy who is a perfectionist
5. Then there is Mr Jim Sprague!!! A god!!
Hahaha, my wife’s been saying it for years, lol. Thanks!
The very start of something, you actually become really amazing at. Even for the first try, it turned out really beautiful
Thanks!
I'm like you, I love the pearl. You can see alil gold tinting in it places, Wonderful accents. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful Work.
It’s definitely there in some spots, thanks.
I like using abrasive pastes. I make my own using Kim's recipe. The bowl came out nice and it looks like the resin did a really good job with the cracks. The foamy punky resin that was on the top at least from I have found with Aluminite is a moisture problem, everything from needing a moisture trap on the air compressor to the material being cast not dry enough.
It was definitely dry, been in my kiln for months. Wasn’t really an issue either, thanks!
It does you credit that you are so very meticulous when it came to dealing with those scratches. GOOD ON YOU!
Thank you so much!
I've been watching your videos for a few months . I am so glad this one popped up on my RUclips.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Still my favorite of the bowls you have made, The blue resin perfectly highlights the beautiful grain of the maple burl without overwhelming it. And it was your first of many other good ones.
It sits in my bar area as we speak, lol. Thanks
I luv that bowl, beautiful mix of blue resin & wood
Thanks, it’s in our personal collection!
Get a negative rake blade for your carbide easy tool! It works amazingly well on resin and wood.
Going to make a scraper today, thanks.
Wow first time that is brilliant - loving going back and seeing where your beautiful pieces came from
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Been watching your videos for a bit now and finally just went back and watched you very first wood/resin bowl. You sure have come a long way since that first one. Still great job and it looks great.
Awesome, thank you!
This is so representative of my process most of the time as I'm learning - trial and error, exploring methods, frustrations. Thanks for sharing the whole ordeal, not just what works.
It can be fun and it can be frustrating too, lol. Thanks.
Listening to the chipmunk curse while trying to get that out of the mold had me literally laughing out loud, my son thought I was nuts!
Silly me, I thought it would just slide right out, haha.
Jim my wife just thinks this first one with resins is beautifully done
It’s a beauty, it’s in my personal collection. Thanks 🙏
I'll keep watching to see if you address this, the cause of those finish lines; but none the less awesome burl and resin selection and work.
Thanks Jim
Be come a long way since then, lol. Thanks for watching
Hey Jim, I've never been brave enough to try epoxy but I might now. It does worry me how much plastic waste there is but we'll see with some careful moulding. Absolutely love this bowl, the combination of burl and epoxy is beautiful. Thank you.
This stuff is supposed to be environmentally friendly, it has little to no smell to it either.
@@SpragueWoodturning Thank you.
Bravo Jim ! For a first try, it's a master stroke!🤪😁👍
Thanks 😊
Jim, I do a lot of epoxy resin and have found that using Triple-E after sanding to 1,000 -2,000 and then rattle can lacquer or poly works real well. Be sure to get as much of the wax off from the Triple-E as possible as I believe the wax residue makes runs/sags more likely.
Do you strip off the EEE with a solvent of some sort or just wipe it as clean as possible? Do you do just resin or wood and resin combined? Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning no Sir, I've never used solvent. Merely use as soft a paper towel as possible to polish at a reasonably high speed. This removes wax as it polishes. I do both 100% resin and with wood attached, but not as your epoxy embedded bowl.
Beautiful bowl! I enjoyed watching you use the resin for the first time. That marble blue with the little bit of gold was a good choice for the colors with what looks like a marbled wood. I don't know too much about the different types of trees and their wood properties. I wish I could look at the wood and know what it is, I will need to study to learn it... that will be my next mission.
Your work is amazing! And I will own one of your bowls someday. Thanks for this video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Eventually I’ll get there. I’m working up to a bowl of that caliber. My experience with resin is filling cracks and voids. Nice work
Thanks Chris
For your first resin bowl, you did an amazing job. Love your choice of colour for it
Thank you very much!
I had this problem once and before buffing with white diamond, I polished with 0000 steel wool. Seemed to work. Anyway, I am thankful for your videos. I too am contemplating epoxy. Was just given a pressure pot. You give me hope :)
I tried a little bit of everything on this one, lol. Thanks
This is probably your best video yet. Thanks
Thanks 🙏
33:42 It looks like birds taking flight to the left below the blue 🙂🥰
Cool, thanks
Good to see the start n how much progress has changed n how U do things differently except that mold release still a fight
It certainly can be, lol. Thanks
For a frist resin bowl this is fantastic, plus I love the rainbow blue, it is my favourite color. FANTASTIC BOWL
Thanks 😊
thank you for the lesson. Beautiful piece. I have my first piece in the pressure pot. I use abrasive paste and have had good results.
Wonderful! Thanks
First one huh? Well ya sure can't tell by looking at the finished product. Excellent work my friend!
Lol, thanks Anthony!
I LOVE this bowl! Getting my shop warm enough is my problem too.
Thanks! One of theses days I should put in some sort of heating system but for now the offcuts heat my shop so it’s free heat.
This blue is by favourite blue also my September stone now combined with wood it look absolutely outstanding!
Thanks 😊
the result is really beautiful. thank you for sharing. 👍🏻🤗💕🇺🇸
Thanks! 😊😊
Thanks for sharing the journey Jim!
Thanks for watching!
I can hardly believe it's only been a year. You are an amazing artist.
Thanks 😊
He is quite talented.
Enjoy watching your show your was very nice watching you turn your first project good luck in the future
Thanks, lots of resin turnings on my channel now.
Good job the heat is really important for casting resin
It sure is, lol.
Beautiful blue! My favorite color. Love it!
Me too! Thanks!
It's interesting to see how far you have come on the resin work. Nice first attempt.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing your first time to use resin with us! You did a great job, the color is spectacular and the bowl is gorgeous!
Thanks, I really like the blue too.
That finish was very nice, but you have really taken your finishes to a new level. Everything about this was awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great first time l really like the shape of the 🥣l know l will never be able to afford one of ur bowls. Not on my SS l guess when ur 81 l will get over it god bless you an we all have to thank god for our talent l make jewelry an l do thank him all the time
Great, thanks 😊
Wow! I love that bowl. it´s an amazing work! congrats. Sandra.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful bowl to be your 1st resin.
Thanks, it’s in my personal collection!
Great job! I've only been doing epoxy/wood bowls for a few months now, but I'll share a couple of things for you to ponder... First, I always open the pressure pot after 2-3 hours to see if the epoxy has soaked in to enough places that I need to add more. I'm using Total Boat Thick Set which is really slow, so I can add more if I have some left over, or mix more if I need to. Most of the time I need to add 10-15% due to it soaking into all the cracks and voids. Then after the top-off, boost the pressure and let it sit overnight. Second, epoxy is much harder than the wood. So you have to take extra care to remove the small surface scratches left from tooling. Very close inspection is needed in the early sanding steps. Sanding sealer is helpful too, but careful attention to the surface of the epoxy has helped me eliminate those from my finished pieces. I don't think the epoxy is going to react chemically with any finish after the epoxy is fully cured, which can take several more days after it's hard. Keep those great videos coming!
Thanks Russ, that’s a great tip about opening the pot to check on the resin level, this epoxy has a long work time so it should be a problem either. I really pay close attention to my sanding and can say without a doubt the surface was sanded well. The weird thing is when it was wet it looked perfect, then when it dried the streaks magically appeared, very frustrating! Thanks again for the tips, Jim.
Drill a small hole in the bottom center and blow air to get it to release.
And rune the bucket, lol. Thanks.
That's a fantastic result. Worth the effort.
Thanks Jim!
I just came across this, and from watching your more recent turns, you really have come a long way. This is still beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
We learned all we know from YT, and are so thankful that this forum exists. This is a beautiful bowl, would never guess it to be your first wood & resin, you did great!
Thanks Jen!
I love to pour resin into cracks and hollows. You can never tell where it's gonna end up. Sometimes when I end up with only one tiny little streak of colored resin in a bowl, people almost miss it. Then they do a double-take. Then look a little closer. Then ask either 'how did you put that there' or 'why did you put that there'. I get a kick out of that.
Me as well, I see it all the time at shows, lol.
Turned out really nice. I have good success with friction polish not streaking with resin. I seal with 1 lb shellac before polish. Stay well...
On large work this size? I see a lot of turners using OB shine juice, got any experience with that? Thanks.
@@SpragueWoodturning OB gives me a lot of streaks, gave up on it! I love Acks friction paste products made in USA or Hampshire Sheen products from UK.
That's good. I see Susanne would like to have that bowl.
She’s already claimed it, lol. Thanks
Just returned from vacation and am catching up on a few weeks …. Love this project! And I’m a bourbon girl who can’t wait to check out the bourbon guys! Another great project, Jim!
Thank you very much! There a couple a great guys.
I'd always wanted to do woodwork at school but they only let the boys do it in the late 60s early 70s you are amazing in your work
Thank you very much
It’s gorgeous Jim. I learned a lot from you this morning! Good to know about the temperature requirements too. I wouldn’t have thought of that. Looking forward to your next project 👏👏
Thanks Jeanie, definitely an over site on my part!
Well that’s exactly how we learn right! You won’t do that again.....hopefully 😳
Jim you are a pro in everything you do this is just awesome and stunningly beautiful. The grain and resin everything is soooooooo beautiful.
Awesome! Thanks Kobie!
I watched 5 resin bowl videos before this one. It's so interesting to see the beginning of your journey after seeing some of your absolute masterpieces. And I had to LOL when the Mold Release made its debut (I saw the maple crotch with silver black resin vid before this one). Thank you for sharing your experiences, including mistakes, in your videos. I look forward to the next one (after I binge on the existing)!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Ah yes, the struggles of getting resin out of a mould! I know the pain! I absolutely love the colours, love the bowl, love how you share your learning experiences. Well done on a beautiful job. 😊😊
Thanks! It was a fun first project and still my favorite of them all!
That Was a good video and the bowl looks great. I used to watch Canadian Woodworks on You Tube, and the used an epoxy from Quebec that really flowed well to fill the voids. I know Paul had to make sure the temp was right as it cured, and it was pretty well set in 24 hrs. That was on tables and other flat stuff. They do sell the epoxy thru them and the finish they use that did not streak like that. I don't have any affiliation with him I just watched his channel.
I will check them out, thanks!
Congratulation! For the very first use of resin, the result is beautiful. Experience comes from experience, and you learn from mistakes. So everything was done right.
Your too kind, thank you!
This is where I want to be ... doing my first wood and resin bowl ... I've enjoyed your first experience and hope mine goes just as well ... the bowl looks fantastic 👍
Best of luck! Thanks
I'm new to using epoxy with my turnings as well but have found Krylon crystal clear spray finish works for me and buffs easily...
Good info Rob, thanks.
Such a joy to watch and listen to an honest appraisal of your own work. Beautiful piece. Thank you. I have resin sitting next to my lathe waiting for my confidence to improve
Lol, thanks. Get to it and get er done!
This is beautiful..The graining in it is beautiful..Some coat with resin and leave the bowl,pot etc running..Dont be put off by this,it’s your first one and it’s a learning curve..It’s also a nice way of using up bits that you normally would not turn because they are too small or like this a bit punky..A lot just use the lacquer too ,you should get it without the lines next time you try it ..I love this just the right amount of wood and resin 😀
Thanks Christine, this is certainly one of those pieces, without the resin it would of been firewood!
I want THIS bowl...oh, and the peacock one...oh, and the two bowls from the nested set... oh, and the cherry crotch hollow form... oh, and the the box-elder round platter....and on and on and on
Still got the cherry crotch, lol. Thanks
So cool to find your very first resin bowl! You have come a long way. This bowl is beautiful! 11/20-6/23
You were a natural Burl/Epoxy turner from the beginning.
Thank you very much!
gorgeous bowl. i think i prefer wood/resin bowls over 100% wood bowls.
Me too! Thanks
Beautiful work!!
On the streaking...whenever I turn wood with epoxy, I'll sand up to 1000 grit, then do an abrasive paste and then either oil or wipe-on poly. I'm usually really happy with the finish. Really beautiful piece, Jim. Your videos are a guilty pleasure of mine. :)
Thanks for the info, I’m waiting for the abrasive paste to come in. Don’t think I will have it for the next video tho 😡
@@SpragueWoodturning Well, I just watched your new video, and wow! That bowl looks smooth as can be!! The sanding up to 2000, beeswax and PlastX really payed off. Amazing work! Looking forward to next week's video! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I am looking at some of your first and I really love this one.i really love this bowl because of the shape. Keep up the GREAT work
Thanks, will do!
A great video for the first resin bowl. I like the teaching format you use, I think it's great. Love the bit trying to get it out of the bucket. 😃😃 The burl is stunning, A great work of art sir. The blue is outstanding, first class job. And the first resin bowl, wow fantastic. It's a beautiful piece sir. 🌿 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you!
The bowl looks great but it seems that with all the hundreds (or thousands) of colors, bright blue is used so many times and I don't think it even compliments the wood at all. Maybe try some metallic colors (bronze, copper, black, graphite, aged gold, bright gold, antique gold, etc etc) which I think will all compliment the wood and they are more "natural colors that would be found in nature. I look forward to the next few bowls when you put the neon blue on the shelf for a while. : )
Lots of different colors done after this piece, enjoy!
Great, I'll check them out! 👍
Nice burl bowl! Like another viewer i have the same concern for plastic. I have done resin casting using Alumilite with different dyes, pigments and powders. I will do more if i can capture the microfine airborne plastics and reuse the shavings so waste is minimal. Your first resin bowl is a beaut! I bet if the resin had been cured to a hardened state it would have come out of the container more easily, especially since you used mold release.
Good point, I never even thought of that. Thanks!
For your 1st resin bowl, I love it. You did a spectacular job on this bowl! Blue is beautiful! Also my favorite color. Thanks, Jim!!!❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Love the swirls and if you look very carefully you can see a spec or two of gold :) Use a negitive rake to prevent chip out. Try McGuires plastix polish for the last sanding this will take out the streeks (find it at CT automotive section) and your a very lucky man to have burl. I just moved to Thunder Bay and finding it very difficult to secure good Hardwood. Keep up the great videos Jim, and practise ,practise, practise :)
What? Those trees growing sideways not any good for you, lol. I will checkout the McGuires, thanks.
Is it Meguiar’s polish? What do you topcoat with or do you leave the polish as the finish?
@@SpragueWoodturning yes thats the one leave it as a top coat.
Love it. We are our worst enemy. We see faults where no one else does
True, thanks 🙏
Wow for your first one that was amazing to see you work so hard to get it the way you wanted it to look
Thanks 😊
Beautiful outcome the burl had a stunning grain. I don't turn so I'm not sure but I do use resins I think the streaks where tool marks they where very uniform and even. When you're sanding resin 400 grit just isn't fine enough. I would never put a finish on resin until at least 2000 grit. Maybe more with the steel tool marks. I don't think the wood bowl finish was reacting just making the streaks visible. Nice job as always though. Enjoyed the video.
My sandpaper order came in so I will be ushering higher grits next time, thanks for the advice.
..gracias...por tus videos, se aprende bastante, y gracias por tu honestidad al explicar los procedimientos.
Thanks for watching!
The wood is gorgeous. Nice work.
Thank you very much!
Looks good Jim nice job for your first.if you don't want the colors to blend to much you need to watch the heat of the resin before you pour.get a thermometer you just point n pull the trigger. Let that temp get up.some resins don't like moisture either.
There seem to be little to no heat when this resin cures. I was really surprised by this, in the summer when it’s hot, it will be interesting to see just how much it warms up. Thanks for the advise!
Hi Jim I enjoyed the step by step of you doing the resin it's very interesting and the colours are awesome and the bowl looks fabulous. The wood is full of character with beautiful grain and the colours of the wood. Thanks for a great video Amandaxx
Thanks 😊
It looks very nice.
For more color separation i used a very high viscosity epoxy and it worked fine, i don't know if that was because of that thick epoxy or something else so i will use it again next time.
Stay safe and keep turning.
I think if I would of done half and half we would of seen more, thanks 🙏🏻
Very, Very Nice for your first resin piece
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic work Jim love the pride you tack in your work
Thank you very much
