Ya, he didn't have any audio but i can just imagine some of the things said when it broke like that, it almost made me want to cry and I didn't even spend any time working on it. He's definitely a very determined person and that little vase is absolutely beautiful
One man's stunning is another man's ... I can drip epoxy/superglue over a turd and make it look impressive. I'm really hoping that the next/3rd time I watch you - you make something truly inspiring - cos we're done if not
@@FirstNameLastName-hahaha could you post an example of some of your praise worthy original work please. If your not impressed with this, I'm sure I will be enthralled with your work.
I love that you didn't let this defeat you... you came up with a solution, and it turned out magnificently!!! You're a problem-solver and a gifted artisan. 😊
David, you have the patience of Job! Alot of peole can turn vases and do a nice job, but it takes a master to fix such chaos at you did. Well done sir!!
"You'll shoot your eye out!" Glad that you didnt get hurt during any of the explosive events! It's truly a beautiful work. Exquisite. I can see how much patience it must take to do this work.
When it flew off the lathe, I just shouted, "what did you think was going to happen!?" If this was intentional to make a Kintsugi-style turned piece, okay. But there have to be safer ways of going about it. That lathe was cooking when he was cutting the end. Jeez
You sir, are an unflappable artist. When that piece broke apart, I literally gasped, "Oh no! All that work!" I would have probably found the nearest trash can and called it a day. But you kept on going which inspires us all to work through the chaos and keep going. The end result was simply striking. Thanks for allowing us to see the journey till the end. Beautiful. 😊
You have taken the art of combining wood and epoxy together to a whole new level! I am amazed at how much work it took for you to create this beautiful one of a kind piece of art! I’m astonished at how determined you were to create this masterpiece! Thankfully, you were willing enough to share your experience with others who yearn to make beautiful things in woodworking art. I’m so impressed. Awesome work done by a skillful artist!
Sometimes you have to stop and listen to the wood tell you what it wants to be. This piece of wood was saying: Please just burn me. I’m glad you didn’t listen. Thanks for another beautiful journey.
I'm 61.....watching your video's....I love what you do so much that I have decided to take classes. Don't care what time I have left....I want to spend it doing this....!!! I have built refineries, oil fields, ppl all over have benefited from my work in Medicine.....how am I living under the poverty line w/all that behind Me?....well....I helped the world be a bit of a better place....it is time for some....Me Time...! Thank You, Dear David, for helping Me to find something that stirs motivates Me...makes Me feel like living again...!!!! Actually, got Me even teary eyed....these are great tears....love them...!!! You keep sharing this incredible beauty that is inside of you....taking old wood & giving it life for more years to come. Wish You the Best of Success, David & Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Beauty & Talents With Us...!!
Unbelievable! If I hadn't watched it with my own eyes no one would have ever convinced me that you went through the process that you did to create this piece. You are the master of patience and solutions.
I love how it shows the broken pieces more on the inside than the outside. It's like a person...often we judge from what we see on the outside never realizing their beauty comes from the broken pieces on the inside. This is stunning. Thank you for sticking with it and showing a different side to humanity (figuratively soeaking)
I'm watching this for the 2nd time. The symmetry of the roots around the trunk is just so perfect. So glad that even after disaster struck, the project ended with something beautiful. 🎉
It's monkey puzzle I think. It grows like that. 1 Dead straight trunk with those symmetrical branches every couple of feet. It's my favourite tree (if that doesn't make me sound mental😂), but it oozes the stickiest sap everywhere and doesn't seem to stop. It's horrible to handle but looks amazing.
I literally gasped and said Oh No! When it broke then more sap and other stuff like the universe just didn’t want this to finish. The fact that you didn’t throw it away is awesome! Good stuff
I cannot imagine your mood after the first burst, I would've rise my hands; but not you, your inventive and patience simply won me. You have my absolute respect and I praise your artfullness. Love from Israel.😊
While the original design would have still been insanely beautiful, the fact that you kept it and fixed it the way you did gives it so much more character. Very nice work friend.
Your skill as an artist is only matched by your determination to succeed. I just finished restoring a car that everyone said was impossible to restore due to the model and condition. Several friends said l was being hardheaded. I'm sharing this video with them because like you sir l hate giving up. Beautiful vase!
You are absolutely amazing. The Bob Ross comments certainly apply. Not giving in to frustration is a fabulous personality trait. Thank you for each and every video!!!
I'm currently using RUclips to learn how to use a lathe. I know that in a few years, I may have 1/10th of the skill and patience you demonstrated in this video. That is beautiful .
Amazingly, the repaired fractures actually enhance the eye-appeal of this beautiful one-of-a-kind example of eye candy. Your outstanding effort achieved an outstanding result, David! 👍
Fun fact: They say David is still out in his workshop somewhere. Most believe still under a pile of epoxy shavings. Legend has it, his wife sets food and water out there daily and the bowls are empty the next day. Sometimes the bowls are missing and a new stabilized resin/wood bowl is left in its place.
Man, I would've absolutely lost my mind if this happened to me... The fact that you were able to keep cool and turn several fiascos into a gorgeous end product is truly remarkable.
Despite everything, it has become a beautiful vase David. You prove once again that adversity can be overcome! Fantastic the way you show that an accident can be turned into something beautiful.
Oh my! That is truly beautiful!! I’m so happy that you didn’t scrap the project because you created something even more beautiful. The resin colors blended well and the wood grain shows gorgeously. What an artist you are! Incredible talent!
I gotta hand it to you, David, you stuck with it through hell and high water. The turning ended up being an amazing piece. I still stand by saying you are one of the finest wood turners around.👍👍👍👍👍
Those fracture lines definitely give it more character but I don't blame you for not wanting to go through that mess again. It turned out beautiful! Thank you for not giving up. ☺️
Brilliant save. That was so heartbreaking when it fell, but you stuck with it and it turned out beautifully. Shows what experience can do. And, you may not have got colour separation but the resin is gorgeous!
You are truly an artist. My father did beautiful wood work, anything from boat building, beautiful furniture, inlaid tables, marquetry, etc. Consequently, I truly admire fine craftsmanship. You have it!
David, I am a big fan of yours. Your work is truly inspirational. I watch your videos religiously and you have been a big help with my wood turning. Thank you so much for posting videos such as these.
@@DavidAdamsen hello David, again…. 🤣 Question. #1. The bowl gouge that you used on this video and many others, is that an Irish grind on a 5/8 bowl gouge? Reason being is that I have a 5/8 bowl gouge and a Tormac T8 and am having a hard time sharpening this gouge evenly on both sides of the gouge. Not a good thing. Also, do you have a gallery located in Maine? Thank you again. David
I believe this is your best piece! It shows determination. We all have cracks and flaws in our lives, but when we are determined to continue to try.... sometimes extraordinary comes from it! Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for not giving up. Reminds me of my college experience, it's taken 10 years.... single parent - one child, caregiver to 2 ill parents, death of one parent.... but I have finally completed it. 🎉
When my favorite turner experiences this kind of disappointment, I feel I am not alone when my work flies into pieces. You just don't give up on those wrecks. Nice fix Adam!
😂 the single most uncooperative turning I have ever watched! The grit and determination was impeccable and the end result is amazing, great vid👍🏻. I would like to say you never have to go through that again but the content was awesome 👏
Complete and utter chaos. Mayhem. What did you do to deserve the total and unrelenting enforcement of Murphy's Law, David? Spills, oozing, fire, explosions.... and in the end, of course, it was still gorgeous. Congratulations, David Adamsen. You're not only an artist, you're also a magician, sir.
This is not just Murphy’s Law… this was an example of… Murphy's Quantum Law: Anything that can, could have, or will go wrong, is going wrong, all at once.
My goodness me, the patience you must have. The end result is amazing though, I couldn’t cope with all the mess and so many set backs, so much admiration to you. 😊
The Japanese "Kintsugi" technique to save the project was genius. I wish the gold repair lines stood out a little bit more, though. But an amazing piece.
Kintsugi for the win! Turned out even more beautiful than you originally planned. Next time you run into the pine sap thing, try saturating the area with acetone. I've had that happen a few times before on turnings and even furniture. I absolutely saturate the area with the pine sap seepage in acetone and it dissolves it even down in the wood. You have to keep applying it but it eventually gets enough sap that it stops coming up. At least it's worked for me in the past.
The first urn was glorious; the Rapid Unplanned Disassembly was spectacular; the determination you showed was inspirational. Fabulous project piece. Well done. Thank you.
Watching this video was encouraging. Just before coming across it, I had a resin mold leak inside my pressure pot. Unfortunately, the leaked resin had cured beyond recovery and became a nightmare clean up scenario. the mold was still about 2/3 full so I mixed up more resin and repoured the top third and put it back in the pot. Cured fine, but when I went to turn it, there were all kinds of bubbles in the part of the original casting. I ended up having to turn it down to a fraction of its originally intended size. Not to be discouraged, in an effort to be creative with the remaining material, I decided to hand carve a spiral pattern in the stem of what was not a small goblet(?). I was able to complete that part but in trying to do some final touches, the piece snapped in half on the lathe. Tossed it in the trash out of frustration but came back the next day. glued it back together and somewhat salvaged it. A good lesson in persistence and salvage. It was later that day that I came across this video. Thanks for sharing.
David, I think this is one of your most amazing projects yet. It takes a true and a humble artist to create something with real beauty. This bowl is even more incredible because of how hard you worked to save it! Thank you for sharing the process, frustrating as it must have been--it is so much more inspiring when things don't quite go to plan, but still somehow turn out better than before, than if there was never any struggle at all. Well done!!
That was an amazing learning journey! Thanks for posting! That's telling failure to its face, go ahead keep swinging each hit will just allow me to rise farther above you!
@DavidAdamsen BTW, when it comes to pine sap, it's best to let it seep through until it stops. Personally, to me, it gives it character. It is similar to how a cut stops bleeding. Another good thing about it is that it fills in cracks by itself.
The fact that you never gave up and turned this into a stunning piece of art is impressive and admirable! Well done!
Thanks TotalBoat! Could not have done it without you!!
Ya, he didn't have any audio but i can just imagine some of the things said when it broke like that, it almost made me want to cry and I didn't even spend any time working on it.

"You'll shoot your eye out!" Glad that you didnt get hurt during any of the explosive events! It's truly a beautiful work. Exquisite. I can see how much patience it must take to do this work.
The result was worth the blood sweat and tears. Lovely.
Wow 😮 My heart sank when it flew off the lathe. You just go with it and continue to create. So amazing.
@@DavidAdamsen you basically did a Japanese technique called kintsugi with wood and epoxy in stead of pottery and gold
I literally yelled, “Oh F@$k!”
When it flew off the lathe, I just shouted, "what did you think was going to happen!?" If this was intentional to make a Kintsugi-style turned piece, okay. But there have to be safer ways of going about it. That lathe was cooking when he was cutting the end. Jeez
A true testimony to patience and perseverance! Beautiful!

Your recovery after it flew apart from the lathe is phenomenal and the repair work gave it so much character.
Never give up, never concede. Overcoming failure to realize incredible beauty. Bravo, I love the gold veining that resulted from the repair. Awesome
Wow brilliant job, you have far, far, FAR more patience than I could ever bring to a project, beautiful piece....

When it broke I wanted to cry for you, nice save and in the end it just added to its beauty. 💯 nicely done!!!
