Such control and finesse! And I just read that you only started woodturning this year! I actually think your last oops is a blessing in disguise. It seems you were aiming for a slightly more ornate lid but ended up with a more simple one which in my view ads to the overal look. Beauty in simplicity!
Thank you for sharing your opposes and how you improvised and created a beautiful piece. You give us encouragement to continue when we fail. Thanks again.
Hi there, my woodwork teacher used to tell me, "if you've never made a mistake, you've never made anything!" As true today as 50 years ago, sometimes the best lessons are our oops! moments. As I progressed to be a woodwork teacher myself, I used the same words of wisdom to my pupils when dismayed by an oops!
That is the most gorgeous wood and with your eyes on the details you have made a masterpiece! Sorry that part of it broke off, yet it didn’t seem to phase you, you continued as if nothing happened! Such a gentle spirit!! Great work, I love it! Bravo!
What a gorgeous wood to work with! Training with minute objects is the best way to acquire skills and patience. The unforgiving size is a great master. Well done.
Thanks, Billy! I wasn't really imagining acorns while making it, but it happened to look like one, haha! I've had acorns on the brain ever since the previous video. Cheers!
Absolutely charming, David--such a sweet miniature....and I think you won the challenge. ;) Thanks for sharing your mistakes too--it was interesting to watch how you recovered from it and produced something even more lovely. The true artist optimizes on the "mistakes"...and that is what you did. Well done!!
David, even wood turners who have been making shavings for decades have their share of Oops still today. As the saying goes from my old Marines days, you overcame, adapted, and improvised. You met the challenge and exceeded expectations! On another note, I think your videos are well done. Very nice intro to each one. You must have had prior experience doing videos. Professionally done!
Thank you very much, and Thank you for your service! Like what they tell you when you learn to ski: If you're not falling down, you're not learning anything. Thank you again! When I was a kid I got into photography, so that's where the nature video inspiration comes from. I had never made real videos like this before starting this channel though.
David Adamsen Well you showed a lot of experience in the way you recovered during the oops moments. It’s quite apparent for a fellow your age that you have several God given talents. I don’t believe it was an accident He has given you these wonderful gifts. Make the most in what you do with those gifts and always give thanks for them. Have a good Thanksgiving! My best to you, your family and friends. Keep those wood shavings flying.
Well... so your human too David!! Ha!!!😉.... once again very good and good skill teaching project. Glad to see your determination and patience. Great job👍👍👍
Thank you so much, John! I think my brain turned off at the end there. Next time I feel like doing this again I'll try using a pen blank. Hahaha! Dream big... or in this case, tiny! Cheers!
A real nice video. Pleasant music, easy scene transitions, and the camera angles call made for an enjoyable view. Earned a 'thumbs up' & a 'subscribe' from yours truly.
Thanks very much, Dave! This was definitely an experiment, and I ran into problems because I did a lot of the steps backwards. Oh well, always learning though!
Thank you, Stanley! The silver lining is that all those oopses forced the box to become even smaller. Funny how that works out... Cheers and good luck in your projects!
In the absence of quantifiable dimensions, your tiny pot may or may not be smaller, but without a doubt, it is much nicer than Nick's teeny weenie challenge pot. Don't worry about the finial... What you had planned looked a bit overboard for this project and the smaller result was a better fit IMHO. As Bob Ross says... "Happy Accidents". Love your work and your channel.
Hi David....that is a really pretty little box...the wood is beautiful...I thought that it was purple heart...I haven't heard of Camatillo...( show me the way to Camatillo ) ha ha...you win hands down on video quality..very professional...if you don't mind me asking...any tips on how you manage so many views and subscribers after only 10 videos..in fact you were getting high numbers from the start...any help appreciated....thank you for subscribing...great stuff...All the best.....Andy
Andy! Thank you so much! I believe I got that piece of camatillo from www.bellforestproducts.com/ It really is gorgeous stuff, and it's super dense too. Thank you! I can't believe the level of support over such a short time. I have just been blown away by it. When I was a kid, I got into photography, and I learned how to frame shots and get proper lighting. But I also learned (still learning) woodturning from watching other youtubers like Andy Phillip, Rod Humphrey, Carl Jacobson, Nick Zammeti, and so many others. I pattern the style of editing off of Andy Phillip mostly. Here are some things I try to keep in mind: 1) Whenever I turn the lathe off or switch tools, I switch camera angles. This ensures variation for the viewer. 2) Try to make the tool the center of each shot. 3) In editing, show real time speed as much as possible, and minimize the amount of sped up footage where feesible. If you have a long shot, make sure to show the first few passes in real time before speeding up the rest. 4) Choose camera angles that put the viewer level to the work. 5) Use aerial shots sparingly, since they can feel more like watching a surveillance video. 6) Quality over quantity, meaning it is better to miss a weekly video than to publish something too quickly. There are a lot of disadvantages to the way I record each project. For instance, I probably multiple the duration of the project by an order of magnitude, simply because I fussing over the camera so much, and that can make me lose focus on the project and make stupid errors... Anyway, it's a learning process. I hope this helps. Cheers!
@@DavidAdamsen sorry but this reply only just flagged up...thank you so much for taking the time to help me with your very helpful advice...I really appreciate it...take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@DavidAdamsen Yeah, one mistake ist too much 😁 (but I think there was second with finial but we didn't see that) - I'm not counting my friend. Just I want to say that I stop counting my mistakes over 10 🤪
@@DavidAdamsen I've never seen a piece of wood with color like that it was very interesting looking loved it but I wonder if you could make a pine cone pot by encasing a pine cone in resin
@@THEAPRILFOOL-1983 I love this idea, and I've wanted to try that for a while. I will need to get a pressure pot and casting resin. Someday soon hopefully! Cheers!
@@DavidAdamsen I've been using that resin it's for like countertops and stuff like that and it's actually worked pretty well for some project and I got one pine cone in resin I made a nice blank but not too sure if I want to make it in the anyting and also got another one I'm going to be doing soon I still can't wait to show off my skull casting I need to find the right stuff to shine them up with but I don't have a pressure pot either that's why I have to do some projects layer by layer which takes forever👍
Thank you very much! It was a happy accident that destroyed the finial. I'm not sure what my plan was trying to make a finial backwards like that, but it worked ok. Cheers and thanks for the feedback!
You beat Zammeti by default because your video is of wood turning... not trying desperately, and failing at being funny. He is so god damned annoying, I wish he would shut up and do the work. But, whatever.. if he is so unhappy that he feels the need to act that way, so be it, I guess.
Happy days 🎺🎺🎺
Nick! You found me! You've been a huge inspiration to me. Thank you! Cheers from across the pond!

What an amazing colour this wood is. It’s fabulous.
Thanks Chanda! It really is amazing wood!
Thank you for sharing your opposes and how you improvised and created a beautiful piece. You give us encouragement to continue when we fail. Thanks again.
Thank you, Karl! You're so right! Cheers!
That color is absolutely stunning! I didn't know wood could look like that.
Purple is my favorite color anyway!
David , 🤣😂🤣 you got me good with the car crash sound effect 😳🤯.. Everything about this piece is perfect!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That wood is amazing. I have never seen anything quite like. Just stunning!
Thanks Diana. It’s amazing stuff and super dense!
Your oops moments give me the courage to try turning tiny ones. Thank you for sharing the whole process. It’s amazing, you really are talented 🏆
Thank you! Never ever give up! Even when it's difficult, there are always good lessons to learn, and that makes us better!
Absolutely gorgeous wood for an absolutely gorgeous little pot! I can’t believe you made some thing so tiny with such huge tools! ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for showing David, beautiful piece and great to see the slips not edited out. Regards Jules, Droitwich, England
Thank you so much, Julian! The slip-ups ended up making the piece even smaller than I'd planned. Funny how that works...
I like the challenge of small objects. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Terrence! This was a fun challenge for sure!
My jaw dropped at 4:40 ... The color is so pretty! Incredible!
It really is a gorgeous wood!
Beautiful acorn box, David! And it's certainly small. Nicely done.
Billy
Thanks, Billy! I wasn't really imagining acorns while making it, but it happened to look like one, haha! I've had acorns on the brain ever since the previous video. Cheers!
It's so good to see someone using a skew . I do 30% of my work with the skew . Good work . Colorado USA
Thanks Lowell!
That about broke my heart but you saved the day with that lovely acorn box! Love your work.
I could watch for hours! Fascinating 👍
Thanks so much, Irene!
David beautiful wee pot, three oops but still a masterpiece. Great job once again.I love Nick’s work also. 🇦🇺
Thank you so much, Sue!
That is some of the most beautiful wood i have ever seen, very very beautiful
It truly is, Michael! Cheers!
Nice turn David awesome little box . Mistakes are how we learn, thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much, Gary!
David show yours vídeos and projects.... Nice to see and learn. Big hug from Brasil Said Choucair
Tis a beautiful acorn. Loved watching the work.
Thanks very much, Richard!
Beautiful! Relaxing to watch and listen to. Even the oops moments. Very nice video work.
Thanks so much, Steve!
Divid, even with the oopses, you kept calm and waffled on! Nick must be eating his heart out. Beutiful.
Thank you, Stuart!

Thank you very much! The more errors I made, the smaller the pot became, so I guess there's a silver lining in there!
Nice little acorn box. When I do a thin finial I do thumb on one side and finger on the other for equal pressure. Seemed to work.
Thanks Suzette, that technique would have been smart to use for sure.
Excellent piece! Worthy submission to Nick's challenge.
Thanks Jay!
Watching and learning, thank you for sharing
Thank you, David! Same here!
That is beautiful! I wish my run backs were as easy to get rid of as backing up the video. First time I had seen that and enjoyed it.
Thanks very much!
David:

It really is amazing stuff!
Magnificent. Life is all about learning,,, mistakes are a part of the adventure. Ya done good.

Great little pot.
Thanks, Angi!
I’d say you met the challenge. Great job!
Thank you so much!
Very nice! It’s so pretty!
Thank you so much! Cheers!
Very nice! I find it hard to believe you haven't been turning very long. You do fantastic work! Might I suggest a detail gouge?
take care, Dave
Thanks very much, Dave! This was definitely an experiment, and I ran into problems because I did a lot of the steps backwards. Oh well, always learning though!

Haha, thanks Kat!
# Very Nice, and interesting to watch ! All the BEST !

Nice attempt David. Still came out great and the size of a quarter! Jeez.
Thanks, Jake. I think my brain was turned off during this project though... so many mistakes...
It happens man.
Wow that was challenging but weldone David.

I was so nervous while you where sanding the top..... and then IT happened 😳
Thanks Brad! I wasn’t thinking properly about the right sequence of each part of the turn, so I made it needlessly difficult for myself... ✌️

Haha thanks.
Hum I think you beat Nick ..just saying!😁

Hi Betty, this piece is not for sale because my mother claimed it. Lol
still cool though
Thank you!
😂 oopsss top woodturning
Thanks!
@@DavidAdamsen l have turning in Brasil
Would like to know the cost?
I like the way it turned out, it looks like an apple. I don't like the trend of the tall finial, they look ridiculous, and in fact, I hate them.
