My god I want your shop. Also your video production is outstanding (as always)

Everything about this was so fascinating! Also the editing! Was A+.

Hey Frank. I finally decided have a go and made an eyeball with some super cool modifications... After watching this vid over and over for the last 6 years. I upgraded and inserted a 1080 high definition tiny long/spout camera with a wifi bank, battery, etc. The camera lense fits on the inside through the center of ebony section of the iris. I also made thin supper clear resin cover which covers the lense that provides a smooth external finish, and because the camera lense is black you really have to look hard to detect the it even there. The eye section has a rebated box join around the center band that fits really tightly together without detection, but can be gently prized open to access camera parts and battery to recharge. I entered the eye in our New Zealand nation wide woodturning exhibition, also had a tablet screen connected in the table next to it so people could actually see themselves looking at eye - was so funny, I wish I'd recorded it. It caused so much attention, it became a huge talking point in the gallery, I was blown away. Also had piece of paper on the table with your KZfaq channel written on it. The exhibition organizers said I should have entered the national woodturners gallery for a prize award. They all recon I'd likely have won the show... sadly though I was unaware of that event, and the rules state all items that enter the woodturning show / prize award, aren't allowed to have been entered or shown in any other event prior - darn it, cause the winning prize was 10k... even 3rd prize was half that. Thanks for the inspiration towards giving different items a go. The lathe for many is achievable - even if viewers have to join a woodturning club to do so... HOWEVER, Unfortunately all your fancy machinery has lost touch with reality and cuts most woodrworkers out of the loop of being able to try it... I'd like to see a bit of both from your channel - food for thought. Anyway - Keep safe ✌️

Wow, normally I have no patience at all with these long videos. I sat through the whole thing mesmerised, I'm in, another subscriber you have Sir. Amazing skills.

Your video production is always amazing. Always a pleasure to watch

It may be the first eyeball made of a wood with this amount of detail. This is pure art dude. This should be in a Art gallery.

Your editing is great, the pace of the construction is perfect, and the narration and little tidbits you add (like the stop motion at around 5:20) make it really interesting to watch.

Looks like you worked just as hard on this video as you did your project. I liked the editing and stop motion. Big thumbs up. Thanks for making this so interesting and entertaining.

This is absolutely stunning Frank! What struck me as well is that normally your projects come to life nearer the end of the project but this thing looked awesome before you even really started the lathe work.

You are a great teacher Frank, and now you have a couple more pupils ;)

My 4 year old insisted on seeing this as it randomly came up as a suggestion. Boy, were we glad! Absolutely inspiring and beautiful work.

Wow. Being a cabinetmaker by trade, retired, this has to be one of the most fantastic wood makes I have seen on YT. And very finely produced. I'm sure your wife is very happy her suggestion resulted in such a magnificent piece. Totally cool... Kudos

that eye was a lot bigger than i was expecting

If you do all the production on this video yourself, you truly are a master of two arts.

i feel like he's the only wood turning guy i'd watch with talking cause his voice is so soothing, and your narrative is clear. Love everything about this.

Mr Howarth that eye is fantastic, every time I watch someone making something I am amazed at the awesome and stunning colours of wood.

Absolutely gorgeous, your next lathe project.....planet earth! Thanks for sharing & have a great day.

Now every ophthalmologist and optometrist in the world will want one for their office! lol You'll be very busy.... ^.^

I love your little stop-motion bits. Also, is that a SNES controller you're using at 10:57? Nice.

Incredible! I am not a woodworker myself but love the craft! My dad recommended your channel and I’m glad he did. You are a talented craftsman, a calm explainer of things and an artist when it comes to video production. Well done sir!

This was really satisfying to watch

No words come to mind for how brilliant this is. The amount of work, talent, and (no pun intended) vision, leave me in awe of what you create, Frank. Thank you for sharing!

The vision it takes to make these items are so deep, I'm just amazed by the process and how it all comes together, and not to mention the accuracy and perfection of the items.

I'm a woodworker for profession myself, and like you I do enjoy to use traditional methods combined with the help from the cnc-router. The result with the eye is nothing less then fantastic. You really have a truly artistic talent. You inspired me to make a movie of a project, maybe in the future. ☺️ Thanks for the inspiration!

Eye see what you did there.

Wow! What a perfect package of woodworking, instruction, and videography

Extremely impressive, Frank. Whenever I think, "Meh, what would I use a wood lathe for," I see something new you've done and my interest is reinvigorated.

This guy....is the guy Best way I can put it. His problem solving and work methods left me speechless

Making an eye is the best way to show that you're really focused on your work.

The dark ring around the outside of the eye is called the "Limbal Ring" and it is basically the border between your cornea and your sclera. Younger people tend to have larger Limbal rings, although it is not always the case.

This video to me is proof that it is nothing short of stupid to say that crafts educations are inferior to university degrees. The amount of thought, care and precision that went into this - not to mention the creativity - is astonishing! I could never do this (I would lack the patience even if I *did* have the logical/mathematical insight) and it is a joy to watch. Even the video editing is very clever and pleasant. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!

You are definitely the Bob Ross of wood working. Outstanding content.

A new Frank Howarth video that's 22 minutes long? And it's got the potential for great puns? What more could you ask for!

That is one of your coolest projects, ever.

The woodworking talent is one thing, but the stop motion, 3D editing, 2nd Frank 'helper' superimposition, sound effects and detailed narration is just so professional. These videos are so enjoyable to watch.

The production value on these videos is absolutely golden.

Wanna See what Frank made? Wood Eye! Wood EYE!

What a beautiful project , awesome Frank wow !!!

Creapiest opening to a wood turning video... Ever. My hat off to you sir.

When you say, "I found some wood in the shop," you always manage to sound honestly amazed. It does make one wonder...

This is becoming a fucking huge problem to me guys!!! Amazing woodworkers with amazing editing skills and phenomenal knowledge & shocking tips!!!... So I have to subscrive to all of you & instead of working I just spend hours after hours watching video after video and thinking to myself... Oh, that's great, I have to try that... let's just see another video & I'll start right away...

Spectacular!!

Holy crap that eye is much larger than I thought it would be. The design and workmanship on this piece is amazing as usual!

Why do these wood videos have some of the best editing in the art community? I'm not complaining it's just impressive.

Frank, I've known of you for a long time and followed you on Instagram, but I've never taken the time to watch one of your videos. This. Was. AMAZING! The instruction. The narration. The build. The production value. All superb! Looks like I've been missing out and have a lot of catching up to do! - Cheers, Jodee

So well done Frank! If someone asked me if I liked the project or the video editing better, I'd just say "yes". - Jim

As I do most "How To" videos on KZfaq, I usually speed it up to 2x. But with this video it was so interesting that I watched it in real time! Thanks So Much!!!

I love KZfaq. This guy has the best presentations I've ever seen...besides being a fantastic woodworker. He could go to Hollywood.

I do not see how 500 people could give this a thumbs down. I bet not one of them ever made a big wood eye on a lathe.

Eye love it.

This is a very well-done video. It strikes a good balance between the "How To" versus the "How I Did."

Your stop motion is so fluid. I don’t even want to imagine how small each movement is.

Beautiful, real joy to watch..

That is one of the coolest wood turning projects I've seen yet! Keep the sawdust flying, buddy!

It’s official. I’ve watched ALL your videos in full in date order. Now I must wait for your next video.

Good morning sir, I’m a beginner woodworker. Your videos are very inspiring. I’ve watched them all at least once, I thank you

Way cool Frank! I would love to have a bowling ball that looks like this!

A joy to watch you work!

It's difficult to appreciate the sheer amount of hours and craftsmanship it takes to produce such exquisitely buffed balls.

My son and I have been watching your videos since he was 2 . He is 5 now and he is still really into your videos which is nice for me. Often after we finish watching one he will ask if we can go to the shop and build stuff (which is how I feel after watching your videos). He loves building things and I can't help but think your video have had something to do with that. Its funny because he has a attention span of a normal 5 year but he will watch any of your video for start to finish even the ones he has seen before. Thank you so much for the content its been very inspiring for me. I have recently quit my job as a locomotive engineer to take a job as a maintenance Manger of a local Lodge , which comes with a large shop and many opportunity to grow as a maker. If your ever in Jasper alberta and need a place to stay let me know and I will set you up with a nice cabin at Tekarra Lodge. Thanks again ....I have been meaning to write this for 2 years now

This is one of the most amazing things I've seen in my life and the video editing is as amazing as the project.

OMG Frank ... I don't know how you're ever going to be able to top this one! ... project and video processing both ! Great great job BTW: Pool cue stick makers use a lot of Ebony and other exotic woods. They might be a good source of info for types of finish.

Rarely watch one of these maker videos without at least a little fast forwarding. This is the 2nd I can remember and realized the first one was one of your videos too. Incredible shop & work. Subscribed.

To see somebody with such amazing abilities to make something from scratch like this and also have amazing production value. I just can't believe it!

Awesome ... yet again. You’re gonna make a TIE-fighter for May the Fourth, aren’t you? I called it. 🤣🤣🤣

What a great project! And beautiful results! You made a wonderful eye and a great video! I love the stop action. (There's a lot of work involved just in doing that!) Thanks for a fabulous video!

Wow. Mr. Howarth, your really good at what you want to do. You need a shop like yours just to keep up with your abilities . I see that correctly using the equipment at your disposal is as much an art as the out come produced. You shared more that a good video. And I thank you for that.

Those little animations and image overlays are awesome! I couldn't do any woodwork for the life of me, but watching you do so I just so amazing! Also, your admission when you made errors helps others realize the pitfalls to avoid!

Absolutely Brilliant!

That is amazing work

The woodworking & the movie editing was impressive. Bravo monsieur.

Wow!! Now that's what we call sorcery!! The planning itself must have been very very complicated!!

Video production is killer.

This project is absolutely amazing! And the video is fantastic!

the stop motion and production is just glorious. Absolutely outstanding. And the nintendo controller for the cnc machine!!! gahh!! amazing!

Frank, I love watching your videos, you explain things well and when you make a mistake you explain what happened and how you fix it. You keep making videos I am going through your entire list. You make me happy i chose to go down this road also.

It looks like you got a new camera or lens or put a filter on the video... looks nice. I love how creative you are, not only in your woodwork but with you camera angles and editing. So much attention to detail! The best woodworker on KZfaq in my opinion.

That Sound of the eye moving is gross!! haha

This video is a work of art! The love and skill you put into the piece you created and your production is AMAZING!

Entertained all the way through. Love the creative thinking from your wife! You executed excellently. Your shop is a wet dream and I hope that some day my shop will be comparable. Well done!

You *outdid* yourself... again.

Im amazed! I just found this channel; the editing is 10/10, I don't know anything about wood workshops but I know that planning that must've been complicated, so organized, smart, great video!

Here's looking at you? Absolutely fascinating. You have a keen eye for detail, no pun intended, but appropriate.

The production value on this video is stunning!

The stop motion thoughhh

this was so satisfying to watch... its also nice to see when there is someone who can explain his moves and steps in the production..end result is stunning....awesome job...you got a sub !

That was fantastic as always. The best part of your videos I think is how you explain the process and how you explain your mistakes and the corrections that you make to solve them. Well Done Frank

Watched this video twice... Once for content, the other for video production. Really enjoyed both... New sub.

Your assistant looks familiar. Is he related?

I love seeing how this turned out after all the pics on instagram! I think you did a nice, almost hazel eye, but I digress... probably considered all brown :P Maybe a blue eye next go round and then you can make a big head for them to go in....shop mascot? Always good to have someone to talk too. lol

I have been flirting with the idea of making a globe from a solid piece of wood for a while, I figured turning a big stump on a lathe to make a sphere and then finding a way to overlay a map onto the wood would be awesome. You should give it a try, you're already great at making spheres!

I would treasure a piece like that for life. I've always liked the idea of an eyeball bowling ball, but that is even better.

Instead of making a 2-sided eyeball, you should have made 2 more maple bowls, so you would have a pair of eyes. Since you only have 1, build an eye patch, and do some kind of pirate thing.

Anybody catch the SNES controller for cnc machine control??

Your wood working shop is amazing 🤯👍🇺🇸.your skills are amazing 👍👍👍👍

Your work is amazing. I have never known someone who is so good at woodworking, animation, video editing, and cnc

Wow great job ;-)

my mans has the editing skills

Hands down the best production value I have seen in the woodwork category on KZfaq! And the quality of the end product is insane!

Maybe the best woodworking video I have ever seen. Keep going.
