    Hi i live in Australia, my name is Jeannette Coman I'm 68 yrs with my carer Reg who is 68 yrs retired. We love watching your shows. Reg has worked with wood making furniture way back many yrs ago so we find watching you a nice way to pass the time. I must say this recent piece you made was interesting with the idea to put two colours into segmented trays then after set time taking them out to then glueing them together with two different colours together made it nice, then with the spacers and another pour of the purple. The colours were nicely blended and at the end of the whole process colours really popped with that new high gloss made the piece totally stand out. The idea of the underneith footing to stand on made it complete. Supa job well made unique. 🎉 love your shows cheers Jen xxx😊

    I've watched several RUclips channels that show woodturning. I've never subscribed to any of the channels because they don't talk during the videos. You are the first woodturning channel I've ever subscribed to. I love that you explain what you are doing.

    while I am a big fan of your youtube content, I'll confess I'm not usually super into the very colourful, resin-heavy pieces (just not to my taste, no insult to your work which is absolutely top notch) but this one is really quite lovely. Something about the way the bunya pine bits form organic, odd shapes in the finished piece really compliments the swirls of iridescence in the resin, it's very harmonious, and the vertical walnut sections ground everything beautifully.

    Blue,green,purple,and gold. My most favorite color combination. You used three in resin colors and the wood could be my fourth. You put more sparkle in my eyes as I watched your most recent art masterpiece 🤗🤗💚💚

  • @maryksowers
    @maryksowers 2 года назад +49

    First thought, I waited all week and you make preformed resin cubes and use milled walnut. Instead of randomly placing them in a mold, you mix the colors, one on top of the other, mirroring around the mold. Not what I was looking forward to at all. However, right up there with all your coolest things you have done for us. Jim, you are very talented, you have the vision, the touch, many of us only dream of. I know its a lot of work moving the cameras, to get the right shot, then editing. Your hard work is appreciated, thank you for sharing your talents with us.

    Simply gorgeous! It looks like a piece of ancient Egyptian art. The wood gives a copper, bronze & gold accent to the the hollow form. The pine cone segments look like the remnant of a dynamic Egyptian scene. Mesmerizing!

  • @smeefamily54
    @smeefamily54 2 года назад +5

    Well Jim: I have to say that you have out done yourself this time. I really like the colours and the way they blended in with the pine cones. The maple wood was also a good choice for a little extra colour. Putting the foot on the bottom does wonders to the form by lifting it off of the surface. Great piece of work. Next weeks turning will have to surpass this one. Take care and stay safe neighbour. PS: thanks for the segment on getting it out of the bucket.

I've had tons of wood-turning/resin videos pop up in my various feeds over the past few years, but they've all been quick time-lapses with no narration that didn't give me any appreciation for the work that actually goes into these projects. Really cool and engaging to see all the challenges involved, and your end-results are gorgeous. Love your work, man.

    And some great advice in the voice over on how to get better results when turning your hobby into an income source. I started on Etsy about 4-5 years ago and sold a few canes here and there, but when I joined Pintrest with a "Canes I have made" board, my Etsy views and sales went up a fair bit. I put up my 3rd RUclips vid a couple of weeks ago and that seems to be driving some traffic as well. (Gave you a shout out and linked your channel in the latest vid as your infill techniques were a bit of an inspiration for me.)

    That piece is right up my alley! Purple is my favorite color! I love that you used pearlized colors in the initial molds and then with the purple. The use of the plastic fruit tray to make the "blocks" with the nut/cones in it is genius! The entire piece is gorgeous! The nut/comes look like wood flower petals almost! How unique! The wood bands up the sides and the matching pedestal look almost gold in the contrast withe the resin.
    Truly a beautiful and remarkable piece!
    I just love it!
    You're quite talented and have excellent taste for color schemes and ideas!

    As a 'hobby' turner I found your take on the business really interesting. I used to do a load of craft shows - until our association folded.
    The biggest problems I found were... living in Scotland the customers had very deep pockets but very short arms and the people coming in were older and had all the shelf fillers and trinkets they had accumulated over the years (and were trying to clear out and 'downsize'). Younger folk just aren't interested in hand-made stuff.
    I can understand why you think it is probably your favourite piece ever to have off off your lathe -- it is beyond spectacular.

    Mr. Jim, this is one of the most colorful bowls you have made and I love it!! The different colors and how they combine with each other is absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t been on to see your work in the last couple months as my husband has been really sick. He passed on August 5th and I was looking for something light and positive and your video popped up. Thank you for helping take my mind in a different direction. But beautiful bowl!!!

    That is beautiful . It blows my mind to watch you take about anything and turn it into a master piece.

    Stunning piece Jim. The 4 colors came together beautifully. The foot is a stroke of genius. Have just the right lift to this piece. Super job.
