“It’s a horrible combination. It’s gonna be fun” Your spirit of adventure fosters creative genius. Adding that lovely oak lid pulled the whole crazy quilt of colors into balance. What a fun experiment. So whimsical. I keep thinking what an awesome button box that would be.
Such a pretty result from a mishmash of things. Fantastic design as always and I agree that holm oak is beautiful. I never know what you will come up with next! It makes for addictive viewing....
I never had the pleasure of working with the holm oak. It’s a beautiful compliment to balance out the “business” of the bottom. Great job Mike, as always!
A timeless piece...across a century. You could place that in any era...20's , 30's , 40's .......etc etc and, it wouldn't look out of place. Excellent work of craftsmanship, beautiful too.Nice one Mike.👍👍
What I think is brilliant are the endless possibilities for ideas using resin, even the waste from the magnificent pot you made could be turned into another item ❤️ it
You inspired me to make a totally different form of pet urn. People tend to want more colour in the urns. And the size fits for bigger dogs as well. I'm going to use my own offcuts. Thanks for sharing.
Buying those offcuts turned into a beautiful piece of art, with that lid wow! Gorgeous! Well done Mike. You listened to your soul, knowing you would make something incredible out of it.❤😊 x
Mike, I think your videos are really great. Unlike some other woodturner’s who seem to miraculously turn out museum pieces every time without a word of explanation, your practical and down to earth commentaries are very useful to aspiring woodturner’s like me. The pieces you produce are excellent and I intend to use your videos as a guide to some future projects I want to do. Thank you for what you do and please just keep doing it. In my opinion you deserve 10 times the number of subscribers that you have and hopefully you’ll get there very soon. Well done.
Thanks so much David, your words mean so much and I'm so glad I can help inspire people to have a go. I'm not a great woodturner, but I'm always happy to give something a go and share the journey no matter the outcome. All the best, Mike
this turned out just lovely! i thought it was a great idea to use someone else's off cuts, and it was not a silly idea at all to buy them :) glad you did!!!! congrats on 2 yrs, and many more to come!
The colors worked much better together than I expected. I was lunging for the screen crying, "NOOOOOOO!" But it's like all the different wood hues and resin chunks balanced everything out. Good job!
Great job. I've done a small one basically using scraps. Was surprised how quickly it was snapped up at a craft fair. There is a lot of interest in these type of unique items. Well done!
This piece really appeals to me. I love it! And the holm oak makes a beautiful lid which contrasts so well with colours in the bowl. Yip definitely one of my "feel good" favourites 😊 Thanks Mike, for sharing your weekly creativity with us. And definitely worked out a good decision to buy 🙃 Have a super evening 🤗
Stunning! I gotta be honest, when I first saw that box of scraps, I thought it would be a bit too busy with all the different woods and resins, but the colors that you chose along with that holm oak lid really brought the whole thing together in such an amazing way!
Ok.. once that lid went on, I was sold! The grain of the wood and design you did with it was just beautiful!
Thanks Alison, so pleased I chose that wood for the lid 😀
absolutely agree
You said it one man's trash is another man's treasure. Good job.
Thanks! 😀
I really like the way that you said these colours don't go with each other, then proceed to prove yourself wrong.
It's a stunning pot.
Haha I know, I was a little disappointed when it worked out so well lol 😀
Even when you are doing things you think are “crazy,” and “horrible,” you make true art.
I think I'm just lucky 😀
"these colours are horrible together" then goes ahead anyway 😂 - but it worked! What a great bowl. The holm oak is lovely 😊
Thanks so much, I was slightly disappointed the colours looked so good together 🤣😊
I agree, what’s up with that? Are you actually trying to make something look ghastly? Well you failed so there!
@@MaryHyso I wanted it to make an impact and make more of a statement lol, failed completley
Great video. Clever way of making most if scrap. The lid makes it .
What are the different finishes that you used
“It’s a horrible combination. It’s gonna be fun”
Your spirit of adventure fosters creative genius. Adding that lovely oak lid pulled the whole crazy quilt of colors into balance. What a fun experiment. So whimsical.
I keep thinking what an awesome button box that would be.
Haha yes I think it would be perfect for buttons 😂
Such a pretty result from a mishmash of things. Fantastic design as always and I agree that holm oak is beautiful. I never know what you will come up with next! It makes for addictive viewing....
Thank you so much Rachel, I have no idea either so it's interesting this end as well lol 😀
This has to be my favourite of your pieces. Brilliant way to use those bits left over.
Thank you! Cheers Simon 😁
Beautiful 🤩 looks like it should be a liquorice Alsorts storage pot lol.
Great idea with the rice to gauge the amount of epoxy needed 👍🏼
Thanks so much 😊
Just simply gorgeous. Now that I'm retired I hope to spend enough time in my shop to turn and become 1/10th as talented as you are.
Hi William, I'm not that good I'm just not afraid to fail. If you fail enough you become good because you learn each time.
I never had the pleasure of working with the holm oak. It’s a beautiful compliment to balance out the “business” of the bottom. Great job Mike, as always!
Thanks Joe, it's not easy to get hold of but if you do come across any I urge you to get it 😀
Waste Not, Want Not. Nicely done...
Thanks Harvey 😀
Now that's literally "turning" a frown upside down!!! lol. Well done sir!
Thanks so much Rusty 😀
I think it turned out pretty nice, who doesn’t love to experiment!
I know Shannon, this was a lot of fun 😀
I didn’t think I was going to like this; but it’s really beautiful.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful piece, love seeing the addition of resin to your work!
Thank you very much Theresa ☺️
Wow, usually not a fan of throwing scraps into resin but your selection of off cuts and arrangement and the lid really made it pop!
Thanks! 😀
A timeless piece...across a century. You could place that in any era...20's , 30's , 40's .......etc etc and, it wouldn't look out of place. Excellent work of craftsmanship, beautiful too.Nice one Mike.👍👍
Thanks Pete, appreciate it 😀
What I think is brilliant are the endless possibilities for ideas using resin, even the waste from the magnificent pot you made could be turned into another item ❤️ it
Thanks so much and you are so right 😊
I had my doubts on this one but you made the magic happen once again.
Thanks Christine, it was a bit of an interesting one 😀
You inspired me to make a totally different form of pet urn. People tend to want more colour in the urns. And the size fits for bigger dogs as well. I'm going to use my own offcuts. Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome Kerstin, they will be beautiful!! 😀
I'm so happy you're back! I really fancy that lidded bowl. It's very pretty. Thank you for sharing your artistry with us. ❤
You are so welcome Matilda ☺️
The finishing touch for me was that satisfying clicks clunk when the lid was put on.
Lovely, and a great video👌
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Thought for certain you were heading towards creating a dog’s breakfast, but WOW! A midcentury modern delight. So fun to watch, thank you.
Thanks Elisabeth, I may have to make a dogs bowl although I have 2 dogs so would have to make 2 😀
You're right about that Holm Oak; very nice indeed.
It really is, just wish I could get more 😀
16:58 bringing back traumatic memories of a dentist office visit
Haha, sorry about that 😀
Love the pot, Mike. Buying the off-cuts was a brilliant choice.
Thanks Steve 😀
That turned out better than I thought it would, the design and colours are amazing, another great piece !
Thank you so much 😀
I really like how this item came out. All the different colors and grains. Beautiful!!
Thanks Bob, I think this one surprised a lot of people, especially me 😀
Wow, what a wonderful piece! Ah, great color combination, and great idea to buy someone else's trash to turn (pun not intended) into your treasure.
Thank you very much Shelley
The depth illusion on the bottom was amazing, where the mica and grains surrounding it
Thanks, I really like the look of it 😊
That turned out pretty nice. I agree. I love the wood the lid is made from.
Thank you! Cheers! 😀
I love your initial distaste for the two colours you selected yet the end product is beautiful.
Thank you so much Damian 😃

Thank you kindly Beth 😀
Great result Mike. You must be very pleased with it, after your initial disappointment when the cut-off pieces arrived
Thanks Ruth, I'm over the moon with the way it came out 😀
I thought that jumble of scraps was going to look terrible, but I have to say it actually ended up looking pretty cool. Nice job!
Thanks Jim 😀
I agree with your commentary regarding the color combination and the comparison to buying another person's off cuts.
Thanks Archie 😁
Nice job making a treasure out of it. I can't wait to get equipped for resin work. @@MikeHolton
I am in love with the off-cuts and what you made!
Thanks Angela 😀
Very nice, the use of another mans scraps, turned out beautiful, the grain on the top is very interesting.
Thank you very much David 😀

Thanks so much Dee, you have made me feel better 😊
It is really something special, I really like all of it.
Thanks so much Lis 😀
The colors worked much better together than I expected. I was lunging for the screen crying, "NOOOOOOO!" But it's like all the different wood hues and resin chunks balanced everything out. Good job!
Haha thanks Dolores 😀
Very beautiful and a wonderful use of what most would consider scrap pieces
Thank you so much! 😀
Really retro, that bowl! Unique way of using offcuts. I do like your imagination. Great video, as always. Many thanks.
Thanks Shaun 😀
What a great little pot 😄
Thanks Ken 😀
Very nice box. The lid works well with the off cuts and resin. Very nice.
Cheers Tim 😀
Very nice. I really hate turning resin due to the absolute mess it makes, but fun to watch.
Haha thanks, it does get everywhere 🤣
No way!!!!! That is so beautiful. Just wouldn't believe that was off cut.
Thanks Jonathan, glad you liked it 😀
A great "Trashy Treasure Pot" , great save Mike.... 😂
Haha thanks Dale 😁
Love the sound that the lid makes when you close it. Nice and tight! What a lovely peice. :D
Thank you 😋
Stunning! I love the juxtaposition of the resin and the wood! ❤
Thank you so much Liza ☺️
I love this one. Alle the different pieces make it interesting, almost kind of a journey through the different woods
I know there are about 5/6 species in there 😀
Amazing project with stunning effect great contrast with lid
Thanks so much Mark 😁
Nice to know that one can make a tight fitting lid if so desired.
Haha thanks, yes I can, I usually go to far 😀

Simply gorgeous, I hope you make more of them.
Thank you, I will but will be trying other things first 😀

And definitely worked out a good decision to buy 🙃
Have a super evening 🤗
Thanks so much Fiona, I hope you have a great evening as well 😀
Excellent work as always Mike, love the contrast between the two parts.
Many thanks Stu 😀
Turned out very nice, colours wotk well together.
Thank you Kathy 😀
Another great project Mike..That Holm lid really sets it off. A joy to watch, take care Steve
Thanks Steve 😀
The artist in me was screaming...never mix reds and greens..you get mud...but then the craftsman in you made it perfect!!!😍
Thanks, I did not expect it to look that nice 🙂
Wow what a stunning bowl you have just cerated. Making such a beautiful item wth the off cuts.
Thank you so much 😀
Love it. That oak is beautiful!
Thanks Justin 😀
The end result was amazing. As you say, the wood for the lid has just the greatest grain to it.
Thanks Stephen, it really does 😁
Fantastic result Mike
Thanks so much Stephen 😀
This turned out very nice.
Thanks so much 😀
Fun turn Mike! Thanks for sharing
Thanks John, this one was a blast! 😀
I had my doubts, but as always you produced something wonderful!
Thanks, must admit, I had a few doubts as well lol 😀
Wow. Mike. Went into the world of resin. Good job on this project buddy
Thanks my friend 😁
Risky buy, but you nailed it.. Love the shape, and didn’t expect the two colors of resin to combine that good.. 👍 nice one again..
Thank you so much Wendy and neither did I 😀
Beautiful so modern!
Thanks Marilyn 😀
Another beautiful creation! I like the use of the epoxies.
Thank you so much Harold 😀
Those colors really set off the look Mike! I have a ton of off-cuts laying around the garage, too. Have a great day!
Thanks Jim, I expect to be seeing yours in a bowl soon 😀
I think epoxy and wood looks lovely xx
I think so too Linda 🙂
Stunning! I gotta be honest, when I first saw that box of scraps, I thought it would be a bit too busy with all the different woods and resins, but the colors that you chose along with that holm oak lid really brought the whole thing together in such an amazing way!
Thanks Steve, I'm pretty pleased with this one 😀
Love the holm oak look, and love learning about that tree. With that result, you may have just created a new cottage industry of "offcuts supply"😂
Haha thanks Penny 😀
I don't think it was a dumb buy at all! It urged you to be creative. 👏👏👏
That is very true, thanks 😀
‧Amazing what can be done with scraps and epoxy . Great job Mike !
Thanks Jon 😀
