Good demonstration Sam. There is a little bit of copper in both brass and bronze and shows up when you add the spray. Very cool aged metal effect on your wood pieces. Thanks.

I've been waiting for someone to make a video on this subject since I've first seen this color on facebook a couple of years back! So thank you Sam! Sorry about your incident, sound like you escaped in a good shape, all considered. That was a great lesson and I'll try and get those as soon as I can, I would have loved to hear about your experience, if at all, of applying a finish over these. Thank you for sharing Sam, feel well!! Yuval.

Was watching your feature on pricing and caught your mention of Verday paints. Thanks for this feature...a nice side car to turned wood designs. Mike

Great to see your process Sam. It would be great to see where you are with the paint's in six months time... Tom

some very good questions here. Looking forward to the answers. Great video and ideas.

A very informative video Sam, some very cool effects achieved. Take care Mike

that's very nice ,that remain me some very old vases that I saw in some museums in the middle East and in South East Asia, that is nothing short of being very beautiful and artistic , I wish I had your knowledge in wood finishing, you are very informative with genius stuff. have a nice turning day,,,regards

I think the hollowing idea you have is going down the right path. I like that you built it up then roughed it out on the ban saw. I think at that point unstick it and cut out your inside then glue it together. After that you can rough turn the outside and the inside.

Sam- I've never seen your content or heard of your channel, but I'm subscribing just from your accountability. solid choice my good man. No one is responsible for the foolish actions of others but that doesn't mean we need to leave a trail for someone to follow ours!

Brass and bronze have copper as the base metal which is why all three have copper oxide which has that greenish "rust" color to them. I will say it again. you don't have to make these videos so thank you so much for sharing.

thanks for the finishing tips! about your hollowing technique... perhaps pipe straps tightened on the outer ends will help stabilize the 4 sections? I think your onto something good with that idea. thanks again for all your great content!

Nice!!! Glad you weren't seriously injured. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see what type of finish you apply. Lacquer? Thanks! Rick

Great info Sam. I will have to try that for sure.

Hi Sam. You unlocked a secret for me. It is like David Marks special patina. Thanks for sharing with us. Marc

I'd love to see a video on how you gat the mottled finish on that piece. Was it a combination of the different metalic paints? I'm looking to get a similar effect for my kitchen wall and I've had a can of the copper paint and activator for near on a year, but I'm nervous to start. I may get the bronze and iron paint too, and try some test boards.

Look in the vessel the reaction looks like a fox's face or some fur animal. Very cute and neat thanks for showing

Wow this is a Great idea Thanks for sharing

Nice work when you finished the rust painting do you put a coat over the top off it so it will not rub off thanks adrian

Hi Sam,Love the video and thanks for using Ten Seconds Studio's VerDay Paints. You do have to spray seal anything you create with these finishes. These paints will last a long time, but like anything will fade if left in sunlight. I have had customers actually paint fountains and then sealed it around 5 times and they still look good. We have done tons of videos on this paint and you can see them at www.tensecondsstudio.com Our primary business is art supplies, but wood is just a surface and this paint goes on everything. I have even used it on fabric and shoes.Thanks AgainCheryl Darrow, ownerTen Seconds Studio

Just subbed, those look amazing. Nice to find a fellow Wyomingite with a good channel.

they turn those certain colours because thats how those metals rust (oxidises) also it looks like the baghdad battery

Thanks Sam

Did you ever use more than one of the paints on one piece... And blend where they met? Wondering how that would look. Also I cant find this brand anymore, wish it was still around 😕

great video - but what did you use to seal and do the final finish? ...or did you just leave as is?

Hi Sam very nice project and technics I love I'm sorry I love your dog to jejejejejeje thanks joao

Wonder if a glued paper joint would be stronger than double stick tape. I know people use it to do split turnings. Don't give up Sam! Just keep wearing that facemask :D

Aloha Sam! Have you, or can you point me to another source where turnings have been carved to mimic sheet metal or adorned (rivets) to look like actual metal before painting? I've turned some boxes and I'm waiting for my paint to arrive. Pretty stoked about trying them out.

After doing a base coat, say with the copper, when it comes time to sponge would you sponge on more than one of the paints for a mottled effect? Also, how would you finish a wood piece....laquer, poly, ??? Thanks

THANKS SAM GREAT VIDEO. I LIKED ENOUGH THAT I JUST ORDER THE PAINT KIT, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT TOM

On the two examples that you show, do you use only one color or do you intersperse with some of the other colors. Great concept for adding interest to pieces. Thank you.

Peachtree WW had the Verday kit on sale so I scooted down there and got one to play with. Maybe I will get lucky with it. I will go down now and put a nut in each bottle!

Can you float this paint on water, maybe swirl two types together, and dip the piece into it? We used that with ceramics in my grade school (lo those many decades ago) to make interesting random patterns. Or does water start the reaction right away? Might be interesting to try, anyway.

Hi Sam, Thanks so much for doing a video on our VerDay Paints and Patina. Those paints look fabulous on your bowl. Everyone should know that you do have to spray some type of sealer on the wood to stop the reaction and seal the bowl. I usually use Valspar Spray Sealer for the best results. The Copper, Brass and Bronze do have a slight change in patinas as you mentioned with the Bronze being "Bluer" than the other two. The Iron is the number one seller as everyone loves that rust look. We have many videos on our website about this process and really you just slap the paint on, spray it and walk away. This stuff really is brain proof. The only way you can screw this up is if you are a "Brain Surgeon" or a "Nuclear Physicists", then you will make it much too complicated than what the process is. www.tensecondsstudio.com

Thanks for including this part of finishing. Really good looks. Can you mix these paints together for different effects? Keep up the good work.

Nice Video, Sam

Say Sam, can these be polished after using the metal reactive paint for a shiny finish or are you stuck with a dull finish? Thanks

Really a shame about your hollowing video. I was looking forward trying it. Thanks

Do you use more than 1 metallic paint on each vessel to get the variation in color? Thank you! Looks great!!

Sam can you recommend a brand of face shield? I am in need of a new one Thank you.

Is there a shelf life on the metallic paints?

Is that for just small vessels and double sided tape or is that all things including jewellery pendant too. Just seeking clarification please

is the paint water base..?

Sorry about your fat lip Sam! Glad it was " only" a fat lip! Guess that wouldn't have been a good idea for my hickory urn! Take care, Dave

Sam: Do you apply a finish on top of the metal paint. Lacquer? Shellac?

I tried to add a positive comment twice but was shut off. I also tried to add a comment toMike Walt but became jibberish. Will try again soonl................Keith

Great video but I have never found a paint I like a well as I like wood I try to leave my wood as natural as it can be. Very interesting technic just not for me
