I know that most people who see this beautiful vase will never pick it up and turn it over, but I was really impressed with the way that the bottom of it turned out. There's a symmetry with the way it all flows together from the bottom up that you just don't see in a lot of castings.

Ooh, the prickerballs again! The bane of my childhood. You have to rake twice a year- leaves in the fall, seed balls in the spring. It’s cool that you can turn that into something so beautiful. Sweet gums are actually quite nice looking trees that grow very tall and straight, and they’re stunning in the fall. But damn, they are a lot of work. (Since you mentioned it, as far as I know the prickerballs are all pretty much the same size. And I grew up in a forest of sweet gums, so I do know!)

@juniper617 Жыл бұрын
@@SpragueWoodturning You could probably find smaller seed balls from some other species of tree and combine them with the sweet gum pods, if you wanted to fill in the spaces more. I don’t know of any offhand, but I’m sure someone does.

Just one word for this vase... WOW. WOW WOW WOW! I mean, there's probably plenty of other words like stunning and unique and beautiful, but I'm sticking with WOW! As an Aussie, my heart is very much with everyone currently affected by the forest fires in Canada. Certainly in my lifetime our bushfires have gotten significantly worse, and seeing more and more from North America hit the international news is rather heartbreaking. I hope you and your family continue to stay safe Jim. I think eBay auctions would definitely be a fun thing to try, even if they were out of my price range I would enjoy watching the bidding and seeing the final winning price! CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 95k subscribers Jim, I will continue to share your videos and look forward to seeing many more milestones in the near future. Thank you!

Jim, be thankful you don't live where the Sweet Gums grow. The trees drop their gum balls (as the pods are affectionately known) all over your yard, and you can't go out in bare feet lest you step on the nasty, spiny critters. I heard of someone recently selling them to tourists as porcupine eggs 🥚.

Maybe at the 100,000 member point

Inline skate wheels tips: 1. Go with transparent wheels for more consistent wear 2. For the bearings, the higher the number, the faster and quieter they''ll tend to be, so go with a #5 or #7. 3. Use a decent thicker lube, not just WD-40 which will often start "whining". I'd bet you'll never need to replace if you do all three!

Just started watching woodturning and I am hooked. Would love to try it. I think it is great you show your achievements and mistakes. Every piece I have seen so far is a work of art and I would love to own. Can't wait for future videos.

This is a magnificent vase - congratulations. I haven't commented on your channel for a while, although I don't believe I've missed a single episode (if that's the right term). This is because I've taken to watching you on TV, which saves my tablet's battery. I usually remember to leave a 'like' on my tablet though. I hope this doesn't mess up your algorithms - but if few people do this, I guess it doesn't matter.

I am loving those pods! Very cool. I am also a huge fan of the vase shape, looks great and good choice in leaving the top. Already looking forward to the next project. Never miss your videos

The color of the woods plus the coves in it really add to the piece as well as the color of the Designer Epoxy.

Looking at the spikey pods reminds me of my past. I had until 2020 a malamute (who sadly passed away during the pandemic) and when we used to go on walks he loved to get into the bushes. Sounds all good but in South Wales, UK we have bushes that give off these spikey pods (albeit smaller and more spikey) and by the time we went home it used to take me hours to get them out of his fur (malamutes have great fur but a pain in the rear end to prise these things out). RIP Flash. But anyway, absolutely fantastic vase!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I certainly can see that as a problem, sorry to hear about your dog. I’ve got a cat that’s my shadow and it’s going to be a tough day when he go. Thanks.

Very festive piece! I didn't watch it right away, but I saw the thumbnail. Couldn't figure out how you got the striped color separation, but was very impressed. When I watched, I saw that the red resin was wood. That made so much more sense! LOL 🤦🏼♀️ I should have known. Well done.

This is such an interesting piece. The strong vertical lines of the wood and the coves give it an almost art deco feel. I normally dig more flowing natural lines but this vase really grew on me as the video went on!

That's the prettiest piece I've seen you make! The profile is just stellar and I don't see many wood turning artists go with a lot of dynamics into their creative shapes, but this just speaks to me. Between the shape, the color and the wood and pod elements, I think that you did a phenomenal job with this!

The artists emphasize that the works are art when they carry a part of the soul of the artist who made it because that's how it excites whoever contemplates, and the rest is craftsmanship. Working using the imagination to produce a work that moves to any extent whoever observes and contemplates it is, from my point of view, art. And I think that the beauty of that work is included in the art.🤩🤩💖

The Hatless Jig is the preferred dance move of advanced woodturners everywhere! (boy, I haven't heard that term in a long time!!) Such a beautiful vase - I love how the pods are in random order as they float in the resin. Thanks, Jim!
