In this video I show how I made a decorative lamp from resin and a pine cone. It came out sort of Game of Thrones Dragon Egg style.
The resin I used was Opticast 2000 polyurethane resin from MBFG in Belfast.

Just want to say thanks for actually telling us what you're doing/using as you go. Im new to wood turning and sometimes when im watching i have no idea why people are doing what they do. Really appreciate your in-depth guide. Thanks again!
Thank you very much, glad you like my video style

Very creative as all your projects seem to be. Great nite light. Love your daughters commentary.
Thank you very much Jeff, and my daughter will be delighted
Cheers
Jim
Well done my man, You took an ordinary item and really made a thing of beauty. Its so awesome!

*Is its natural path of becoming food or another tree not beautiful enough* ?
Nature is always beautiful but to preserve it in something that will be treasured forever, well that beauty can be passe down for generations to come.
Koda crowder That’s what humans do: Create stuff. At least this form of creativity seems benign enough and doesn’t appear to be in the pursuit of creating personal wealth at the expense of all else.
Great job on the egg shape. Amber is my favorite color.
Thank you
The best tutorial I have seen on this topic
Thank you very much Jean
This is truly great work thank you 🙏🏻 I have had a mill and lathe for years since my father passed away and I am going to start using it my father passed away in 1998 I finally understand his passion for this type of work once again thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you very much Antonio, using a lathe is very satisfying and addictive, get that lathe working 👍🏼
Cheers
Jim
Jim Overton - Jimson's Stuff I definitely will thank you you 🙏🏻 again😀👍
This looks incredible. It reminds me of the glowing hearts from Indiana Jones and the temple of doom
Thank you very much, yes it does resemble those
Cheers
Jim
Since you brought it up, it does resemble them. Good eyes!
Kali mah.... Kali mah...👳🏿♀️🤜♥️
It's amazing how an ordinary pine cone can be turned into something beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you very much Denise, I love pine cones, amazing structures
Cheers

I liked that you included technical details on what you used and shared tips! Woodturning videos without narration are soothing and all, but I like hearing about the craftsmanship that goes into making these sorts of things.
Thank you very much, I am delighted that you like my video style
Cheers
Jim
Most original & love the Amber glow. Very nicely done!
Thank you very much Rustom, glad you like it
Cheers
Jim
Jim, I love the work and thank you for naming/labeling each tool used as they're being used. Too many turning videos out there that are completely silent time lapses with no explanation over what is happening despite how nice the finished product might be. From one craftsman to another this is very much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more of your work now that I'm subscribed. Cheers.
Thank you very much Andrew, I am delighted you like my video style, lovely to get some feedback.
Cheers
Jim
to use a phrase I learned from living in Devon for 5 years 'proper job'.....fantastic!
Thank you very much Mark. Proper job is a phrase I use frequently, I first heard it used by a farmer in a cattle market in Exeter in 1986. I also like the beer called Proper Job.
Cheers
Jim
1st timer here. I watch a few woodworkers. I truly appreciate that you have captions, so that we can look up the tools as we would like to. Thanks! Great stuff!
Thank you very much, glad you like my video style
Cheers
Jim
If someone doesn't recognize the beauty of pinecones, it would never be turned into something this amazing. You really gave this seed its own voice.
Thank you very much, pinecones are amazing structures.
Cheers
Jim
First off, so very creative! You sir, are a true artist! The finished product looked absolutely exotic!!!☺
Next, I truly appreciate you explaining the entire process in detail, esp. the tools used. Thank you!
Thank you very much and I am delighted that you like my video style
Cheers
Jim
Absolutely beautiful! What a brilliant idea. It would make a perfect nightlight.
Thank you very much Pudding Cat
Cheers
Jim
Looks amazing. I like how you explain what you are doing during the process. Other channels don't seem to do that. Looking to get into this some time in the future and you explain things will be helpful for newbies.
Thank you very much, delighted you like my video style.
Cheers
Jim
Very nice work. I also like the fact that the structure and shape of the original object is preserved and also refined.
Thank you very much! Yes I wanted to emulate the original natural shape
Your voice is comforting for some reason . It made me want to watch. And you made something beautiful.
Thank you very much Desmond, a few people have said the same about my voice
Cheers
Jim
I am binging on wood turning art and this was a treat! Beautiful work!!

It is mesmerizing to look at when it is lighted.
Yes gives a cool effect. Many thanks for watching
Cheers
Jim
WOW!!! YOU SIR, DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THAT PINE CONE !!! LOTS OF WORK, AND LOTS OF TALENT !!!
Thank you very much
Cheers
Jim
Absolutely beautiful. Where I live we don't have pinecones, but I travel for work and I've been to alot of areas where I see pinecons scattered everywhere. I have always thought they would be wonderful to do creative things with. The lamp is very creative. I wish you would sell the things you make. Love it.
Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Wow nicely done. I'd buy one
Thank you very much
Cheers
Jim
At my first glance I thought it look like one of the stone's from Indian jone's and the temple of doom. awesome work!
Thank you very much, yes it does look a bit Temple of Doom like.
Cheers
Jim
Very nice job Jim, your idea came out great and as always you did a wonderful job of explaining.👍😎
Thank you very much, glad you like the explanations
Cheers
Jim
Nice to see tools and materials listed inside the video. That makes the whole process even clearer. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Sergio, glad you like my video style

Cheers
Jim
I'm a huge fan pinecone art. That's amazing.
Thank you very much Clyde, pine cones are certainly amazing structures
Cheers
Jim
Beautiful work, friend. Congratulations and thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Rafael
Cheers
Jim
So cool. In my 60's now and don't expect to buy a lathe, but this is the next best thing. Completely agree that allowing the cone to be partially exposed gives the best effect. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment
Cheers
Jim
Wonderful project! I like nature, so the pinecone nightlight is absolutely amazing! ❤🙃
Thank you! 😊
*LOOKS AWESOME! AND GOOD JOB ON THE VIDEO. GOOD INFO TYPED OUT AND YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCESS PERFECTLY. O YEAH, NO ANNOYING MUSIC TOO.*

I love the way the scales look like they are just floating in there with nothing holding them together. Great job.
Thank you very much, glad you like the effect.
Cheers
Jim
Thank you for mentioning and highlighting the tools and products you used in creating this.
Thank you very much
Cheers
Jim
That's one of the nicest resin turning I've seen! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your very kind words
Cheers
Jim
This looks gorgeous!! Imagine a pendant lamp with some of these on it, would look so cool!
Thank you very much, I have been wondering about a pendant lamp and how I could make it look elegant.
Cheers
Jim
I find your voice really soothing. Enjoyable project.
Thank you very much, glad you like my commentary
Cheers
Jim
Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous. It's so rustic like it belongs in a log cabin. I love it
Thank you very much Jennifer, I just wish I had a log cabin to put it in.
Cheers
Jim
They would be perfectly beautiful as a pair of coach lights on a log cabin home. You sir, have a gift. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you very much Jeff, much appreciated
Cheers
Jim
Imagine that on a bannister, absolutely amazing work.
A thing of beauty.
Thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers
Jim
I can’t help but think just how good these lights would look in a woodland setting... AND also, well the woodland nymphs and fairies would have the lights away PDQ.
A fine piece of work there that Jim!
Thank you very much Pete, yes would look good in the woods.
Cheers
Jim
Just came across your channel, loved this project. Would love to see more resin videos!
Thank you very much, more resin coming very soon
Cheers
Jim
Jim Overton - Jimson's Stuff ohh lovely, thank you!
looks like it is on fire like a glowing ember from a fire.Amazing piece.
Thank you very much Dave
WHy would anyone put THUMBS DOWN on this beautiful work of art.
New viewer here from Orlando, Florida, USA says you did a BEAUTIFUL job on this Lighted Pinecone. Love this!!
Ken
Thank you very much Ken, as for the thumbs down I guess I can’t please everyone
Cheers

What a lovely lamp, Jim! It was hard enough to do precision lathe turning, but you added that artistic touch of color and made the whole bulb fitting as well! Not easy to find, let alone create the socket structure below. You are a master craftsman of all trades. I would start with the bulb assembly kit first then adapt my project to it. Not as creative as you! 😍😍
Oh, and the video was excellent. Thanks for clear audio, visuals, and NO MUSIC!!!💖
Thank you very much, delighted that you liked the different processes. Many thanks for watching
Cheers
Jim
You should sell them as dragon eggs to Game of Thrones fans
Check out my Game of Thrones dragon eye video. Many thanks for watching
Cheers
Jim
Yes, I’d buy one.
That’s all I was thinking about watching the whole video😂😂......I NEED 3 😩
Dragons are weapons like mastiff dogs. It is unlawful to sell their eggs.
Nobody who has seen last episode still be fan
You're a treasure. What a soothing and positive video. Thank you for sharing, and nice work!
Thanks for watching, glad you liked my video
I Loved the way you spoke about to tools you used, very educational as well as lovely to watch the cone turn into a beautiful light. Thanks :)
Thank you very much Lorraine, glad you like the video style
Cheers
Jim
I was going to write a quick message on the beautiful work done on this project... then I saw the number of 👎. I’m shocked! I didn’t know so many people prefer a 99 cent plug-in.
Thank you very much for watching Maui, as for thumbs down, I guess I just can’t please everyone.
Cheers
Jim
I've watched a bunch of these turning resin videos, and I just thought: your Halloween decorations must be amazing!
Many thanks for watching. I have made a playlist of my Halloween type projects.
Cheers
Jim
Thats Beatyful, Nice project!
You should teach people to do this kind of work. You have skills and talent 👍👍 You should become a teacher.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your very kind words
Cheers
Jim
Absolutely beautiful! You are very talented Mr. Overton!
Thank you very much Sheryl
Cheers
Jim
What a great idea. Came out very well. Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Using the caliper while its still running seems crazy. I have faith tho. Great work!
Thank you very much. Yes best done without the lathe running but I have had a lot of practice.
Cheers
Jim
So damn cool. Been on a woodturning binge lately on youtube and this is one of the most amazing ones?
Thank you very much, glad you like it
Cheers
Jim
This looks like it could be an awesome night table lamp for a young kid !
Thank you very much, yes it gives off a lovely glow.

Классно, молодец мужик, я тоже себе такой сделаю, лайк безспорный👍👍👍👍👍👍
Спасибо
Cheers
Jim
Hey you should paint the hollowed portion with brush and epoxy. Which will clear out the white dome look from outside 🙂
I actually coated the inside with PU resin which had the same effect and actually bonds to the casting resin. Many thanks for watching
Cheers
Jim
looks like sunrise inside a pine. awesome
Yes it does rather. Thank you very much

*Consider a rotating base for special effects.*
*Show it off by lighting up a dark room, such as a bathroom , and not a facial close-up.- (LOL)*
*Perfect as a night light in any room.*

Reminds me of the Shankara stones from temple of doom.
Yes it does look a bit like that, thank you very much for watching
Cheers

I was thinking the same.
How can you get a thumbs down for a creative thing of beauty. Continue with your unique one of a kind projects. Great work and best wishes.
Thank you very much Gary. As for thumbs down, I guess I will never please everyone

@@JimsonMakes welcome. Good stuff
Красиво! Оригинально ! .... и довольно просто )
Спасибо
Cheers
Jim
Jim Overton - Jimson's Stuff Impressive to see you answering in Russian (guessing ...) even if you did use a translation app!
@@JillofAllTrades2 Is there an easy way to translate Russian on-the-fly while watching their videos? So many brilliant craft people, but sadly I don't speak their language! I definitely like how he says "Garage" more than a Canadian channel I love called Curiosity Inc of an antique store in Edmonton he has said it the common way of the region and it has such a hard sound to it!
I've been doing woodworking since a boy and built houses & highways and lots of fun stuff in between. A friend of a long time reminded me of building a traditional coffin with the ends square and tapered sides at the farm I worked on. A friend who was older did Revolutionary War reenactments near the US bicentennial in 1996. I also did a wooden canteen with a paraffin wax lining.
Your doing a fine job of recycling! Magnificent job of your pine cone and how you fixed the diffused light upon the first hollowing. Very nice of you to mention the tools of which you're using that those watching can take a crack at it. I've given you what I call The RUclips Trifecta of Like Subscribe and Ring The Bell as well as a share to a friend in Pennsylvania, USA where I have numerous friends. We both went to a full Persian Chainmaille Weave class at the Patuxent Lapidary Guild in Annapolis, Maryland. It's a jewelry guild and mostly what I do for fun after being injury as truck driver, I think lorry to you. He does some pen lathe projects and has recently got into resin to supplement his meager retirement check. I'm sure he will love it as he is also a minister to the homeless so supplies might be easier to get.
Thanks for your video and your child was cute to help her Dad 💕 I'd suggest looking up a car detailing shop in New York City channel called NYC/Ammo I believe it is. He gave a message at the beginning of one of their videos that said, "If you like anything that ANY RUclips creator makes, Like Subscribe and Ring The Bell and Share as it helps them massively and keep checking that you have not been "Unsubscribed" as there's some trickery afoot with the algorithm!
I would give you two thumbs up on this if I could.
Thank you very much, much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you very much and many thanks for subscribing. Hopefully Etsy shop coming soon.

I'm a new subscriber too! I'd also love to know if there's a site to buy these!

Hello from Brazil, Jim. Congrats on the nice work. I have been watching woodturning videos and I am seriously thinking about starting doing that after the things go back to normal here. Take care and stay safe there.
Hello Vincente. Many thanks for watching my video. Woodturning is great but I would always recommend that you get some lessons from a professional. Take care and stay safe.
Cheers
Jim
I found it very helpful that you described the tools and processes you were using. All the silent woodturning videos are great but sometimes I find myself wanting to know which tools are in use for when I give it a try myself. Nice work! Subscribed!
Thank you very much, delighted you like my video style, and many thanks for subscribing.
