    Hi Jim’s wife! Non-technical comment here. I do love the vacuum chamber footage, but nothing beats the bucket fight! And the battle to remove the poly from the second casting…more of that, please.

      Agreed, before the turning starts, it's the bucket fight first, then the vacuum chamber. Of course, once the turning starts, all bets are off & the actual work takes all my attention!!

    Sorry Jim, I haven't commented in a while but I still fall asleep many nights to your vids. Watching you do magic is far better than falling asleep to the crappy news... I have recommended your channel to many PTSD vets/orgs. to turn off the world for a while and relax before sleep w/your art and others' just like you...I'll bet you never thought you'd become a therapist huh? Tanx, on behalf of many who sleep better these days...❤🤍💙

If this keeps up you might have to recruit other family members someday. Lol! This piece went through quite the journey but it came out a winner at the end. So pretty!

    I like the way you work. It is like you let the piece tell you what to do.
    There is something calming about the vacuum chamber footage. Bonus content…cut footage from multiple videos together and some soothing music in the background.
    The color mix you get with the epoxy is stunning. It reminds me of the sky on a starry night.
    Another great piece.

    Jim, what another beautiful piece you’ve made! It is so different from your other pieces, but I love the masculinity of this vase. The straight lines with the birds eye in the wood and the epoxy colors, especially with the hyper shift in it, makes it all come together beautifully. Whoever gets this piece will definitely have a statement vase that their family and friends will gravitate towards.
    Happy New Year to you and all your family and friends 🎉!!
    Hopefully you made it back to your home without getting blown over from that wind 😂😂

I think you have shown that it’s the best epoxy’s or at least at the top of the best I’ve seen anyone use. So glad you were able to get your son & brother-in-law(BIL) to help you on the duct work for the new work shop. It’s always nice to have help with the things you are needing done. I wish I could say I have people to help me. God bless, take care & have a blessed day. Sending y’all prayers & love from the US.🙏🤗💗
