Finished breakfast, moved to the couch, and thought “Oh, Friday! Woodturning while I finish my tea!” Makes a great start to my day. Thank you!
Thanks so much! What a nice comment!
Nice and succinct. Good
It's beautiful Jim 😊
I've been turned off of epoxy by some people who seem to be using it as a substitute for material and imagination. You are using it as an enhancement, emphasizing the wood rather than the additives. Very tastefully done! And I personally think it has the perfect amount of being. Good job!
Bling, not being! Stupid spell check!
Thank you very much!
This is super pretentious and reading this comment created some sort of disturbance in my brain chemistry. Thanks. You can't buy that.
Love it, agree about the possible over use but this is beautiful. Love to see it lit from the inside.
Wood turnings are nearly eternal examples of skill and beauty. Epoxy isn't eternal, though it will last a while before becoming scratched, brittle, and cloudy.
I'm really agreeing with the people who love that the wood shines through on this one.
I love color and stuff but letting the wood go forward was a great choice!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful. The wood is the star of the show and the resin is a perfect accent.
Thank you very much!
Another Friday, another Jim Day. As always beautiful work. Luckily hubby doesn’t mind Friday being Jim Day. He even reminds me if he thinks I’ve forgotten.
That’s a good man! Thank you very much!
The hyper-shift looked like it had its own grain, so it, to me, looked like a part of the wood. Loved it!
Thank you very much!
Amazing! The contrast of wood and epoxy color is fantastic
Thank you very much!
This hollow form is gorgeous- love it! The hypershift goes so well with the wood grain. More please!
Thank you! Will do!
shape 10
wood 10
color 10
one of the best ive seen you make. love it.
designer epoxy.
Wow, thanks!
One of your videos popped up on my feed. I am blown away at the beauty of the items you make. Now I have to go back and watch more 😅😅
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching
I have been a follower for a while and each piece you make just gets better.
Thank you very much!
Aawww, this hypershift took my breath away. And it matches wonderfully with the wood colour. Looking forward to more ironwood projects...
More to come! Thank you very much!
You did it again Jim, beautiful wood combined with designer epoxy and hyper shift made an incredible project.
Thanks so much!
It's Saturday morning here in Australia. I'm glad to see you do a pure Hyper Shift project. It looks magical.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!
Love that the video thumbnail was of the wood and not the finished item...it made the journey even more enjoyable 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very interesting, I never knew there was a wood called ironwood. You once again created a beautiful work of art. I love watching you create each new work of art.
Another name for it will be Hop Hornbeam. Thank you!
I finally got a vacuum chamber! I cant wait to get started using designer epoxy more in my hobby
Have fun! Thanks
Hi Jim , Yes that’s a BEAUTY! You asked if the viewers have wood that might be suitable for Unique Turnings! I have a Lilac Root about 12”x12” round maybe! It’s been outside for several years, we use it to hold open the back gate! Quite heavy, Lilac is tough wood! It’s yours if you’d like! I sent you Myrtle Wood a few years ago!
I still have those pieces and plan to use them in an upcoming project. Just trying to come up with a creative way to use them. The Lilac root sounds interesting. I will gladly pay for the shipping if you like? Thanks!
@@SpragueWoodturning If you use the pieces of Myrtle I will gladly pay you what you think the piece is you want for it! Lilac root! I,ll measure and send you a picture!
I can’t believe all of the different colors that the hyper-shift creates. It’s like there are a million stars shimmering thru the epoxy thanks to Designer epoxy. The ironwood isn’t too shabby either, it’s beautiful.
So true! Thank you very much!
Hey Jim.
I just looooove your deep, clean, "down to earth-ish" voice - a voice that sends me back to my childhood memories of my grandad.
That vase is so nice as well of a lot of your older pieces. Keep them video's comming ♥️.
Thanks for listening! 😂😂
Dear Jim, no matter how many works of art you have already created, I admire your creativity without envy! I love your art! Sure, this is only possible with products like DESIGNER EPOXY, but the basis is your creativity.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to follow your channel this year because I spent until May 3rd in various hospitals...
But now things are looking up again and I look forward to every new show from you! Best regards from Wuppertal, Germany, yours, Wolfgang.
Sorry to hear that, get well soon! Thank you very much!
@@SpragueWoodturning Dear Jim, you're welcome! It's getting better, day by day. Best regards, God bless, yours, Wolfgang.
Another "WOW" from me! Designer epoxy
Thanks again!
This is one of our favorites! The grain is beautiful & the hypershift blends perfectly with this wood
Thank you so much!
What a little beauty. That designer epoxy hyper shift is some crazy stuff.
It really is! Thanks!
Another interesting project. The grain is awesome, and the hypershift really pops. Enjoy watching these, I'm not a Turner, but I live this show and the process that is used.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching!
This week's project turned out fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Jim, that wood is marvelous. I fell in love with the colors when you were pouring in the bucket. Being from the Arizona desert, I have always loved the ironwood. Your talent is world class. ❤
Wow, thank you so much!
Wow, it’s beautiful. I actually like the muted resin color, especially when the wood has much to offer in figure, color, etc.
designer epoxy ❤
Thank you so much!
I really like the way the hypershift was translucent and the riples in the iron wood is wicked. Really elegant
Thanks so much!
Another stunning piece of art!!!! This wood is fabulous! The light purple shift is definitely there while you moved it around and it is very pretty...this is a great new hyper shift!! I think the best color you could add with this hyper shift is black. I bet that would really show off the shift! Thanks Jim for another great video. Friday's wouldn't be the same without you!! Designer Epoxy
I certainly typed the word "shift" a lot in my comment! lol
Definitely will try it with black! Thank you for your comments! Much appreciated!
Once again, you did a magnificent piece. The hyper shift is really cool. Have a great week and an awesome weekend. Thank you again for everything you do. It is greatly appreciated.
Designer epoxy
Thanks for watching!
And here we use iron wood for firewood. I would never have thought it would be such a pretty wood. Nice choice of epoxy. A beautiful vase. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Holy cow patties.... that's....coolest turn ever🎉
Thanks so much!
I'm late watching today but better late then never your artistry is unmatched what a beautiful hollow form
Wow! Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning! Loving the hypershifts from designer epoxy. Great work, Jim. Thank you for sharing your art w/ us🙏🏼
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I like the level of hyper shift here, as it blends with the wood from a distance and then jumps out when the camera comes close.
It’s pretty cool! Thanks so much!
Oh my gosh that hypershift is gorgeous as is the ironwood. Another absolutely beautiful piece Jim. Always like this form too.
Glad you like it! Thank you so much!
gorgeous wood. I'm loving the colored hypershift from Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the piece, especially the hyper shift ❤. Makes it have a new galaxy look. The animal face is a bonus! Looking forward to what you come up with next. Happy turning!
Thanks so much!
Oooohhhhh Ahhhhhh!!! I love love love that hypershift! The wood is absolutely gorgeous. The shape allows the natural curves of the wood to show to their best advantage. A beauty indeed!!
Thank you so much!
A gorgeous hollow form Jim. Love the hyper shift colour with the wood. Video made for a relaxing time after dinner. Looking forward to seeing next Fridays. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
What a fabulous shape! Great wood grain also! It’s another winner!🥇
Thank you very much!
Beautiful piece. You out did yourself on this one. The HyperShift really accented the ironwood. Simply beautiful. Excellent job sir.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful mirror finish. I love the shape and the way that Designer Epoxy shins. Great job.
Thanks so much!
Thanks Jim! Love the pure hypershift pigment & the fun you had with ironwood.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Beautiful. My brother in law made me a cane out of Ironwood. I use it all the time.
I really like how this ironwood vase turned out. Very nice.
Very cool! Thanks so much!
It looks like it's on fire with that color shift. Beautiful
Thanks!
I was amazed at the grain throughout the wood when you first started trimming it down. Absolutely wonderful. You will have some additional, gorgeous pieces in the future.
I really like this hypershift; it has wonderful coloration all on its own.
Beautiful work on this piece.
Thank you very much!
This piece is a new number 1 for me, Jim!
Thank you so much!
No! The pigment is strong enough! Love it not "blinged-up". I think the resin and the wood look like a unity, like it is one material, not two put together--just enough contrast but not shouting out contrast. Balanced, rich, harmonious, elegant, gorgeous. This will get more beautiful to the eye every day.
Fair enough! Thanks so much!
I live in South Africa so Friday afternoon is my Jim time. Most of the time I can only watch in the Evening so I miss the live feed 😢 but it still I never miss a project. I love what you do even though I am not a wood turner. The "face" adds a cute element too.
Thanks so much! Much appreciated!
You and designer epoxy make beautiful art
Thank you! Cheers!
Another Outstanding Masterpiece
Thank you!
Very beautiful hollow turning, love that wood and Epoxy. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous hollow form. Great balance between wood & epoxy!
Thank you very much!
She's a bute! Really enjoy watching Jim, I think it's all your knowledge and you calming demeanour!
Thanks again Jim
My wife and I are pulling all our positive thoughts your way for you guys to sell your house!!! So you can continue your adventures close to family and your roots!
Good luck! you guys.
Thanks so much! I think we need positive thoughts for sure!
Really liked this one. Been watching this channel with my father who watches you regularly. Designer Epoxy
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
@@SpragueWoodturning You're welcome! Keep up the good work!
When you announced the new hypershifts, this was the one I was most excited about! It certainly did not disappoint. Really lovely piece.
Thank you very much!
This is beautiful! Love the color of the epoxy against the beautiful grain. I think the ratio between epoxy/wood is spot on.
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous! LOVE the color! LOVE THE WOOD, ooohh those curls... Another great project Jim! Have a great week!
Thank you! You too! It’s a long weekend here!
@@SpragueWoodturning In Quebec too, but the question is… Does long weekend exist for woodturners? 😂 Have a great one! 😊
Boy there is a lot of cural in the wood.
It does look gold when you shine the light down on it, and the Hypershift looks great. It perfect. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks 👍
I really like the hypershift and the ironwood is beautiful ! I'm amazed that you can take a chunk of potential firewood and turn it into a piece of art.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Jim I really like your turning. I just found you so I hope to watch more of you channel and think I will start following. I like DESIGNER EPOXY, I've never done anything with epoxy. But now that i have found your site I hope to start. Thank you Michael Edwards
Welcome aboard! Thank you very much!
Wow, Jim! This is going in my top 10, for sure! Definitely top 5 as far as hollow forms!
As soon as you cut the wood in half, I was silently chanting "hollow form, hollow form, hollow form! It's been a while since he's done one!".
The movement in it is truly artistic. It's moodier than you usually do your pieces, but I LOVE it. The color of the Epoxy Resin hypershift is beautiful! I can appreciate a bit of transparency, so at least on this side of the camera it compliments the wood perfectly. The wood has so much character, I love that it's center focus!
See you next week, Jim! We'll get to 130k. I can feel it!!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I really like the shape of this. The color of the resin is also very complimentary to the wood.
Thank you very much!
Awesome piece. Love the wood and also the way that hyper shift glimmers in the light. Fantastic look.
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy and a beautiful piece of wood. Great combo!
Thank you very much!
What a beautiful hollow form!! I love the grain of the ironwood. Gorgeous wood. I am a huge fan of turning the natural edges to face each other. The epoxy accentuates the wood rather than being a distraction. Awesome work, Jim, as usual. Cheers!!
Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
These new hypershifts are gorgeous!!! One down, 4 to go! I always look forward to Friday after work...I know there's a new video and its a perfect way to wind down, with a new surprise every week! I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of the colors! Fantastic job Jim!
More to come! Thank you very much!
This piece is gorgeous! Fantastic color combination! Designer Epoxy. 🙂
Thank you so much!
Stunning colors. I really like the ironwood's grain and colors
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
The profile is great, like the color. A stunning work of art sir. Thanks for sharing your outstanding and beautiful work. One of the best turning channel on RUclips, if not the best.🌿 👍👍👍
Thank you kindly!
Your choice of wood and resin never cease to amaze me Jim
Thanks so much!
**Designer Epoxy** Awesome piece!
Thank you! Cheers!
And that new hypershift goes PERFECTLY with that ironwood
Thanks so much!
I love it. The wood is the star of the show.
It is! Thanks!
That piece is very cool. That wood is really neat and the resin compliments it perfectly. Awesome hollow form!
Thank you! Cheers!
Another beautiful piece, Jim. I absolutely love all the grain in the ironwood.
Many thanks!
It's another beauty, love the hyper shift. Designer Epoxy. Thanks Jim
Thank you so much!
As usual, this is a very beautiful piece. Good luck on your move. My husband and I are planning on moving to the eastern part of Maine soon, the Lord willing. Love the land up that way. Hope you can get your house sold soon. And, oh yeah, "Designer Epoxy".😅
Us too! Thank you very much!
Another stunning piece, the wood is awesome and I love the shape. The resin is also great but I agree with you that a little more hypershift would have made it perfect. I look forward to your videos each week, sitting on my couch with a coffee and watching you create such lovely items, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous! Love the wood grain with that hypershift! I can hardly wait to see what you do with the mini burl you cut off! That would make a great small covered bowl
Thank you very much!
The grain is beautiful and as always a lovely piece
Thank you very much!
Jim, outstanding piece. Reminds me of Jupiter with the knot in the wood. The hypershift color you chose accommodates the wood perfectly.
Thank you very much!
I like that the final project wasn't in the thumbnail. Im sure it helps with views, but I enjoy the seeing the piece come into shape.
According to a poll I did a while back, most want to see the thumbnail finished. Thanks
I love that new hyper shift!! You always make beautiful pieces.
Thank you so much!
Love the shape and the ironwood. Wonderful piece. The grain is really unique. Thanks for another great video. Designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work as always, Jim! Thank you for sharing, I love your videos.
Thank you very much!
Wow!🤩 I was saying “add more!” When you were mixing up the hyper shift at the beginning but at the end, I really like it! The subtle tones are great with the wood. Beautiful piece. Nice job!
Awesome! Thank you!
The wood grain of the Iron Wood was quite spectacular. It's always a treat to see what your mind comes up with. You are very creative !!!!!
Thank you very much!
Another fantastic job Jim, looks awesome!! Designer epoxy rocks!
Thanks again!
Another beautiful piece Jim!! I am totally sold on Designer Epoxy! I have a walnut and epoxy project I’m preparing now. I love the Hyper Shift, it adds so much to the colors. Thanks for another great video!
Awesome! Thank you! Good luck on your project!
Absolutely stunning piece Jim, the wood is magic.
It is! Thanks so much!
I love it! Beautiful! The color makes me think of a nebula... 😊 Again Jim great project! Bravo! Have a great week!
Thank you very much!
That is the most beautiful wood I've ever seen.If the hyper shift had been more it would have taken away from the beauty of the wood. This blended very nice.
I agree with you! Thanks!
designer epoxy looks great even with just the hyper shift.
It does! Thank you very much!
I thought it was going to be too pink at the start but it isn’t at all. Really beautiful. I have turned desert ironwood. Really hard! My source was I picked it up in the desert and put it in my suitcase! Great piece!
I would love to get my hands on some, lol. Thanks
Another designer epoxy turning. Beautiful piece. I love the haunting view of the light just on the inside.
Thank you so much!
Love the ironwood and epoxy combo. Fantastic content. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous colours and grain look lovely with lights inside it
Thanks so much 😊
