I will never forget at the zoo....a peacock used to always fan to a squirrel 😂. I tried telling him he was confused...but squirrel fanning he did anyway. He did this every morning when I went to check on the goats in the petting zoo🤣.
I just discovered you and your work and I’m very pleased. I’m a 70 yr old female in California who had done a lot of wood working with hand tools. Never sold any of my work, simply for my own use/lifestyle. Wood blows my mind, simply beautiful and burls especially turn me on. I also used to own/operate an antique store and imported furn with lots of burls from France and England. Birdseye Maple, walnut burl, curly maple, tiger oak/quartersawn and others I can’t remember now. So, I’m loving your artwork and so glad I’ve found you! Super jealous of your equipment and setup, knowledge of how to use it all! Wow, just WOW! I can’t wait to watch ALL your videos. Too bad I’m 70 and have no $$$ cause I sure would love to be making things like this! I’m going to dream about this (I hope)… I’ll be wood turning all night long….‼️‼️‼️‼️
@@SpragueWoodturning it looks like so much fun to do! Bummer being old and broke, can’t set up the shop you have, so I’ll just enjoy yours! Do you have a shop where you post things for sale?
Sometimes you think it's going to come out the way you want it but the product that you end up with is even better than what you were hoping to get and some of your other ones that you've done is just downright stunning
Great looking bowl. Sometimes colors have mind of there own the pearl is beautiful, please don’t stress over your back log you know working consistently your back log will take of itself. Thank you for great work and information on woodturning.
I thought that it resembles the Aurora Borealis in the way the silver look swirls through the blue with hints of the other colors. And the Aurora has all different colors swirled so anything in how it mixes will be beautiful! Designer acrylics is so fascinating!
With this particular piece, I can just imagine cruising through the deepest parts of the many galaxies in space, and coming into view is this beautiful, living planetary object much like our own Mother Earth. One can easily visualize life forms swimming in the cool, deep, mineral rich oceanic areas. Other creatures trekking across the earthy areas, perhaps looking for their next meals. This heavenly body suspended in the vacuum of a deep, and in the outermost stretches of a Universe light-years away, is where one will find such warm, inviting peace. That's my take on this work of art my friend. Grin 😊.
Possibly one of my favourite pieces in your collection. Not just from a technical perspective, but the swirl in the resin gives it beautiful dynamic movement. Great job. All the best. Ray
I very much enjoyed your dialoged about how wood moved both wet and dried. Been turning 16 years now and teaching other disabled vets like me and I encourage them to watch others and watch and listen to them. I will be recommending you also. I know how expensive epoxy is and though I cannot afford it for the vets and I we all love seeing what others make from it.
I just have to tell you that I would love to own that P eacock Bowl. It is awesome! Please, don't beat yourself up over not getting the "PEACOCK" coloration you were looking for! It was incredible to watch a creative genius at work. Your client should be proud and overjoyed to receive such an incredible piece from a Craftsman such as yourself. Thank you for my viewing pleasure! I was just amazed!
Your channel popped up with this vase. It is stunning! My grandfather was a wood turner back in the first half of the 1900s. I have a piece and my brother has a piece. He used different woods together and the finished items were beautiful. My faves were always the cherry because it reminded me of him…he smoked cherry tobacco in his pipe. You make me want to do this but at 65 I doubt that I would be able to build a workshop. It is nice to live vicariously though. Thanks for sharing!
Designer Epoxy! That is such a beautiful piece! I hope the commission likes it too. Love all your content Jim! Your tool work just astounds me. The hollow form was shining before you even touched it with sand paper.
This ended up so cool looking! It has a couple of peacock-looking areas but not as many as I had thought it would. But it is indeed stunning! Fantastic job, Jim! 💜
resin is a finicky critter, never actually does what you want it to do, That Piece is Beautiful for sure, Thumbs up as always, nope I didn't even try a peacock anythhing, I did put sticks in the sides of a bowl though,
Even tho the color is not what you were aiming for it is still an AWESOME piece that anyone would be proud to own. Great work, your stuff is always so beautiful.
Your conversation about business aspects was very clear and honest. Truly friendly offering to people who don't have the perspective. Quality, ingenuity, creativity and client care are fundamental to free market success. Short cutting people is just not true life. People know if they are cared for ❤
Beautiful piece, even though it didn’t turn out as intended, nevertheless it is quite stunning!! I have every confidence you’ll figure out how to get a great peacock look. I’ve become addicted to your videos and I can see you’re constantly learning and working to improve your technique and I’m so impressed with your work!
I LOVE this one, the color is unbelievable. And I enjoy watching you turn “hollow forms” (I assume that’s anything from a vase to a container with lid to an urn, etc ?) although the bowls are amazing as well!! Thanks for bringing us into your workshop and your art.
This is a beautiful hollow form! Have you ever compared the weights of the different pigments once per ounce? I’m wondering if that has anything to do with how the colours mix. I agree, it would have been awesome if the colours stayed separate
One good thing about having a tippy salad bowl, though, is that it would toss the salad for you. Great piece, Jim. I'm sure you'll crack the colour separation problem. And great advice on pricing. I just have an Etsy shop for selling my sticks so I tend to just price them by how long they took to make plus postage and materials (plus an occasional variable amount if they turn out particularly cool.)
Beautiful blue bowl. Designerepoxy is great. I have just started watching your videos. I have an artistic background in several mediums except wood turning and fiber arts. I am currently creating pots on the ceramic wheel. The turning is so hypnotic. Im a 72 year young lady keeping busy... by the S. F. Northbay in Calif. Thanks, Marsha
Beautiful colour and great shape. I was happy to hear the explanation of use as I could not understand the small mouth until. 66k viewer is a heck of an achievement. Well done!!!
Another fabulous piece. Your comments about hobbyists underselling professionals is valid for other media as well. As a jeweler, I have found lots of hobbyists selling at low prices to make just enough to pay for more supplies. This is so demoralizing and devaluing to the professionals who are trying to make a living. When customers complain that my prices are high, I politely tell them that my work is not for everyone. If you don't value your own work, no one else will either. Sadly, much of the public has become jaded by cheap imports and no longer value fine handcrafts.
Designer Epoxy!!! This would be so amazing to win. I really love the bowl in all of the variants of blue. I think the peacock would be incredibly beautiful. I'm sure it will be mastered down the road. thank you for all of your wonderful creative teachings. You are an enormous inspiration.
Hi I'm a tumbler maker and as I was watching some of my favorite artists I stumbled on your channel and boy am I happy 😊 I did. Wow your work is gorgeous and right now I'm binge watching your channel as we speak. Keep up the wonderfully stunning work!
Hi Jim this hollow form is cool and lovely I like, the colour of the resin is awesome I really love it. It really shines thank you for a great video the burl was great and has somenice grain. Amanda xx
Designer Epoxy. Jim, I have been watching your channel for quite some time now and I don't often comment on your projects. However I think they are all beautifully done. I have tried many different epoxy's over the years and have been exclusively using Designer Epoxy for a few years now. I highly recommend it to any and all who are searching for epoxy. The hollow form turned out great. Love the high gloss on it. Well done.
I realise that it's not the result you initially hoped it would be, but man oh man, it is absolutely stunning!
Agreed! Thanks!

Too funny! Thanks for watching!
I'm surprised the green didn't show up , Designer epoxy looks like a good product, nice to see someone selling epoxy in Canada
Thanks!
Jim another beautiful piece of turning.
Many thanks!

The piece is beautiful and I love hearing what everyone thinks a Minnesotan is supposed to sound like.
I didn’t know Minnesota was in Canada, haha. Thanks for watching
The inside of the form is faultless as far as I could see. I am breathless with sheer awe of the beautiful product you have made.

Even though you didn’t get the peacock effect this is still a very beautiful piece
Yes it is. Thanks!

A beautiful hollow form bowl from a strange little burl. Lovely.
It was an odd one. Thanks for watching

Hollow forms are not vases. Vases are always open at the top and hollow forms are closed in like this piece. Thanks for watching!
Oh thank you, I didn’t realize. I hear you use the term, and now I know what I’m watching for. I appreciate it!!!
It’s a beautiful piece Jim. Looking forward to the next one. ✌️❤️🖖🍻

This is a beautiful hollow form!
Have you ever compared the weights of the different pigments once per ounce? I’m wondering if that has anything to do with how the colours mix. I agree, it would have been awesome if the colours stayed separate
For the most part their the same weight. Thanks for watching
An ounce is an ounce lol..what weighs more 100lbs.of lead or 100lbs pounds of feathers?
Designer epoxy. Thanks for making the complex simple for us newbies 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Viciada nos seus vídeos,uma obra de arte mais linda do que a outra, parabéns pelo seu talento e sua inteligência.😍👏❤️
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy ... Jim I just love the work . I can see how you get so far behind on your projects you are just one man operation 👍
If I could just split myself in two, lol. Thanks for watching
