@@JackMackWoodturning 😄

Thanks for watching buddy! 🥰

So kind! Thank you. Where are you from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Malvern hills Worcester, do you know where it is?.🤗

I know where Worcester is but I have never been. You’re about 200 miles south of me 😊

Thanks so much. Would you have something like this in your home?

Yeah. They do say less is more don’t they?

Cold 🥶?

Haha 😆 I see what you did there. But is that such a thing?

@@JackMackWoodturning it is now! 🤣

Very kind! Thank you for watching

Nice one M! Always glad to see you stop by mate. You played new Zelda yet?

@@JackMackWoodturning No, I don't have a console and I don't care for Zelda actually 😁Since it's the sale season on Steam, I bought two games: Titanfall 2 and Sun Day Gold 😃

Very kind. Thank you buddy. Where are you from?

@@JackMackWoodturning : Living in my Dream Home on Lewis Smith Lake in Crane Hill, Alabama...!

That sounds amazing! Somewhere I’d love to visit!

Thanks Jim. Did you like the grain?

Hi loved it, to me one side put me in mind of a night sky stars and space, the other had me thinking of one of the Chinese dragons, all action and motion.👍🐝​@@JackMackWoodturning

Thanks man, nice one. I like your comparisons 😊👍🏻

@@JackMackWoodturning say what you see. 👍🐝😊

Thanks Karen! Very much appreciated

Thanks for watching. So glad you like the albino Yew

Thankfully Paul!

Thanks Maddy. Very much appreciated 💛😊👍🏻

Oh that’s so lovely. Tell your grandson I said Hi! What’s his name? Thanks for watching Linda 🥰

@@JackMackWoodturning Jayden he just turned 13.

An aspiring woodturner?

@@JackMackWoodturning I think so. That or a cook. He seems equally fascinated.

I was a chef for ten years. What a coincidence 😊👌🏻

Nice one J. Are you Spanish?

@@JackMackWoodturning No, I’m not. Why do you ask?

The avatars are quite small but I thought you looked Spanish. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Oh! haha I’m watching from good ole USA. Tennessee!

Cheers Walt!

Nice one Rick. Glad you enjoyed it man. Are you a turner?

Thanks Tim, do you work with wood yourself?

@JackMackWoodturning yes I have two lathes a Jet and a shop fox love turning wood a I get new ideas from you tubers I'm 75 now and I intend to keep turning for as long as I can

That is awesome and has put a smile on my face buddy. Thank you for watching and keep up that good work. I hope to see some of your work some day 🥰

Cheers buddy

Thank you! I do try 😊

Nice one! What kind of flowers would it suit do you think?

@@JackMackWoodturning I like roses. Lavender ones to be exact but I like all colors! 💜🌹

Lavender roses?

@@JackMackWoodturning Yes! They're beautiful! 💜

They sound it! Iv’e never seen them before 😊👍🏻

Thanks T. Glad you enjoyed it. Do you work with wood?

Nice one K. Where did you find this vid? If you don’t mind me asking

@@JackMackWoodturning I think it popped up on my Facebook page - but I tend to follow any links there to you-tube

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it. You had a good weekend?

The heat dome has finally moved off. This puts us down in the mid 90's with possible rain maybe sometime this week.

It’s raining here at the moment thank the lord. The heat has been too much!

Hurrah! I heard you are baking over there. Now if it rains for a week, I don't want to hear any bitching. LOL

Haha I’ll be quiet don’t worry. The rain is my friend 🤣

Thanks S. Glad you like it. What would you use it for?

Thanks man. Much appreciated. I think you’ll like my latest vid Woodturning - 1000 Pieces Of Veneer ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8-lZ9yFqajInnU.html

@@JackMackWoodturning This one is indeed beautiful! But, Mother Nature turns out to be surprising every time.

Thankfully Eliot I appreciate it buddy. Where are you watching ?

Just outside Toronto, Canada

Ah yes! The promise land. I’ll live there one day, I’m sure of it 😎

Yeah, always a nice surprise. Do you work with wood yourself?

@@JackMackWoodturning Sadly not Jack my talents belong on canvas and in the kitchen 🤭

A fellow chef?

@@JackMackWoodturning yep 46 years young but I have to say I don't enjoy cooking anywhere like I used to. Love baking though ❤️ and making lots of happy mistakes on canvas. I've always had a thing for wood though it just has such a tactile appearance I always wish I could reach in and touch

I also love to bake. I have been trying to perfect my sourdough since lockdown. It is very much a labour of love. My starter has been going since 2019

A human face?

@@JackMackWoodturning No, more like a fox face.

I’m so glad you think so. Where are you watching?

Thanks Ern! Much appreciated man. Hows the weather down under?

I’ll take that. Thanks for watching buddy

Thanks for watching ☺️

Nice one! How you going?

@@JackMackWoodturning Ben better. I fell over and smashed my wrist. Had to have surgery to put two plates and screws in to hold it together. Silly me.

Oh no, that sounds painful. How did you manage that?

@@JackMackWoodturning would you believe I was on my morning walk and tripped over the footpath lol

I’m so glad you like it Dina 🥳

Yes, I agree! Thank you! What would you use it for?

Haha nice one buddy

Thanks J. Sometimes simple is the best right?

@@JackMackWoodturning 👍

💛😊

Me?

Thanks for watching Tyson.

Awesome! Thanks for watching buddy.

Very kind thank you for watching. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Thanks for asking. I'm watching from Southern Germany (a small village in Bavaria) , but I'm Austrian by birth

Bavaria! I used to drink your beer 🍺 Is it warm at the moment?

@@JackMackWoodturning Not so much. We had some heavy (and much needed) rain lately. Probably it will take some time to get summer temperatures again. ( Btw. I've never had some beer - neither Bavarian nor Austrian. I prefer a tasty cup of tea 🍵)

I like your style. Tea is absolutely the way forward 🫖 😊👍🏻💛

Thanks man. Do you turn?

@@JackMackWoodturning just started turning about six months ago and love it

Nice one Grant! A bit pale for yew though right?

Thanks for sharing. Glad you like it!

Many thanks Will. How’s it going?

@@JackMackWoodturning All good here mate thanks, again a stunning piece.👍

Thank you buddy. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Payson, Utah

Ahh nice! I’m so glad my videos found you 🥰

@@JackMackWoodturning I'm glad they did too. As I watch the videos from the bottom up, I've come to appreciate your level of talent and skill. None of your videos have failed to impress me. Keep up the most excellent work.

Thanks a lot man! What park do you attend to?

Thanks so much! Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Seattle, Washington, US

Nice! I hope to visit there some day!

Thank you Jane. Very kind. Where are you watching from?

Thanks man. 😊

Thanks Doug. Is Yew one of your favourites?

@@JackMackWoodturning yew is a wood that is not available to us in the US.

Ah of course. That’s a shame. What is your ‘go to’ then?

@@JackMackWoodturning #1, walnut #2, cherry #3, Bradford pear which is considered an invasive species

Nice one buddy. Much appreciated as always. 😊👌🏻👍🏻

@@JackMackWoodturning not just compliments man! You're a Master of the Craft. Be well and family hard working man💪

Thanks man. It’s guys like you that keep me going buddy. 💛

Never seen that. You have a good eye l. Thanks for watching

Yeah my thoughts too. Still pretty though right?

The bowl gouge?

Haha 😂 I never clocked that! You’ve got a good eye. Where are you from?

@@JackMackWoodturning I live in Las Vegas Nevada 🌃🎆🎇. I've Retired after 30+yrs as a Cake Baker and running a Bakery in Greensboro N.Carolina ( Cake's by Steven). I now just Bake Cake's for My Church 🙏. Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎊 Man".

What a lucky parish you have Mr S! 🤤

Thank you very much! Did you like the grain?

@@JackMackWoodturning Love that grain and those other things on this piece of wood. I love to see the grain of turned wood when the finish makes it pop. Never had any access to yew but have a number of woods to use here in Georgia USA. Different oaks, wild cherry, black walnut, hackberry (just now), hemlock, dogwood, maple, bradford pear, redtip, popular, sweet gum, red cedar, sourwood, bald cypress and prob a bit of other things. Got some mimosa today and will try that when some drying out.

Thanks very much Roger.

Thanks 👍 Another one for the dried flowers?

Yes.

@@suzanneyoung6273 Eh, , , an image of what exactly? 🙃

Jesus?

@@johnmitchell1614 I saw a Frog. 🐸

@@JackMackWoodturning oh...is that what you see?? In an abstract almost 3-D way, I see the image of a bull with distinct two eyes. His outline is there with his snout seemingly protruding out. His thin horns creating the finishing touch. It really is such a handsome piece Jack!!

I’m glad you like it Alex. Hope you had a good time. May I ask where you visited?

@@JackMackWoodturning sure thing, We went up to the high country here in Arizona, about 5000 feet where we were. Nice country up there, very beautiful vistas and all. We needed some down time, been going strong for a while now. So needed to get out in nature, do some rock hunting, and enjoying the cool air up there. In the valley where I am, in the summer. Temps are between 105 and 112 degrees F, rather warm to say the least.

Definitely sounds too hot for me. Rock hunting you say? Tell me more? I have a friend here who visits abandoned mines and collects all manner of crystals. Some of his finds are nothing short of spectacular.

@@JackMackWoodturning there are a lot of abandoned mines here in AZ, but many are not easy to access, some are one private land, of course you do not know until someone tells to leave. These is one of two we can get too that are fun to explore and even investigate too. However, one was a mercury mine, so not a good one for rock hunting. The other one is a really cool place. The main shaft is about 1400 feet deep. They mined copper, so lots of really cool mine tailings there. There are some smaller mine around we visit now and again. We do get some really cool stuff, geodes, fossil s, quartz and sometimes we have found amethyst and dragon eyes (really cool red semi prescious stones, deep red color)

Nice! It has never really appealed to me. I get anxious just looking at the pictures. Squeezing through small gaps in unmapped mines. The guy I know went to explore a mine for the first time on his own and got lost in there for an hour before he found his way out. No thanks! 🤣

Thank you very much! Does your dog have humongous ears?

Nice one T! Love your suit. Are you a secret agent?

No. Photo was done during a photoshoot on the RMS Queen Mary 2.

That’s a cruise ship right?

Cunard ocean liner. I was on an eastbound trans Atlantic crossing as part of a round the world adventure.

That sounds pretty spectacular. What exactly does a ‘round the world adventure’ entail? Do you just visit all 7 continents?

Nice one Maddie. One for the roses 🌹

Thanks a lot man. I guess you liked the grain?

There are lots of good video on KZfaq teaching you to sharpen tools. And how to form a proper tenon.. I hope my videos inspire you to carry on learning and making 👍🏻

Thanks a lot. A fellow yew fan?

Nice one HC! What would you use it for?

@@JackMackWoodturning Some high quality silk flowers would look amazing in there!

Roses? 🌹

@@JackMackWoodturning Quite possibly!

Seems to be the general consensus 😊

Would that be a good next video?

Gotta keep them sharp my friend 😉

If you tell me what size you're looking for, I'll make you one Madeleine. I've been working on turned boxes recently. I don't use resin, just wood, no rubbish. Best regards from Bonnie Scotland. 🙃

Hey Maddy. I haven’t made a jewellery box specifically. I did turn a rather pretty Yew box a few video’s back though which I may list for sale on my website. It is only big enough for earrings/rings and the like though. John in Bonnie Scotland might sort you out though 🤣 If he drinks whisky, eats haggis, wears a kilt and recites Robbie burns poems whilst he turns, I have absolutely no doubt is work is far greater than mine. 💛

@@JackMackWoodturning He he! Nice one Jack. I do eat haggis but I don't go in for any of the other stuff you mentioned (occasional dram at Hogmanay) My stuff will never be greater than yours, don't get me wrong on the crack about no resin, no rubbish. I like resin jobs sometimes, but basically, I can't afford the stuff. Tried some Milliput and epoxy adhesive, but that's it. Ha ha! I'm still chuckling, maybe I should try the Whisky, kilt and Rabbie Burns. You're the man Jack, best regards. 😃 🙃

Thanks for watching Rona. Where are you from?

@@JackMackWoodturning - Originally from California (not proud of that with how the state has gone down hill so bad) but now I live in Colombia half the year and the Philippines the other half. I'm single so it's a paradise for single men.

Ah yes I remember. Living the High life 😎👌🏻

@@JackMackWoodturning - Ya man, you only live once and life is short so you gotta enjoy it.

Amen to that 🙏

Thanks Patrick. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning I'm in Pampa, a little town in the Texas Panhandle.

Is it extremely hot at the moment?

@JackMackWoodturning It's about 29° C here right now, so not particularly. The previous few days it got closer to 39.

Too hot for my Scottish blood. 🤣

Good?

@@JackMackWoodturning "Looks" fell off the page. :)

🤣🤣👌🏻👍🏻💛😎

We’re you hungry when you were watching by any chance? 😂

@@JackMackWoodturning Heh, actually looking at gardening plans for next year.

Ooh nice. What have you got in store?

@@JackMackWoodturning Just the usual for my area: Corn, beans, squash, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, *one* zucchini plant, and lots of flowers to bring in the bees and butterflies. Need to replant the rhubarb in late summer, since it got mowed down by accident, too.

Thanks Mark. You feeling any better this week buddy?

@@JackMackWoodturning A little thanks.

😊👍🏻💛

It remained a vase 🤣

Yeah no warpage or cracking. Thin and even walls along with drying as slowly as possible and I very rarely have any issues. Did you find it a little pale for yew?

@@JackMackWoodturning Only ever had my hands on a piece of yew once and seems the heart wood was pretty dark! No yew around here in MT USA!

I’m guessing you get a lot of maple?

@@JackMackWoodturning Not enough, but when I do I believe my favorite! Also lots of Box Elder also known as Manitoba Maple!

Box elder can be really nice. I have some waiting for the right project. 💛👍🏻😊

😎👍🏻

It is indeed Lee. The best part is revealing the secrets within. 👌🏻😊
