Lots of comments about why I didn’t use my vacuum chamber and the reason why I didn’t use it this time is because I was worried about the resin starting to cure before getting it into the fridge. Jim

I definitely love hearing your thought process. It lifts your video up from "look at this cool thing I made", to "look at this cool thing I made, and this is why it looks like this". Every piece of wood is different, and you never know exactly what it's like or how it's going to behave until you start turning, so you explaining what you're doing and why is a revelation, and all part of it.

I can improve on an idea or take something and change it up to make it my own but to just see something in my head that I can put down on paper, I just can’t do. Listening to you as you tell us about how you want to start and then your process of deciding what you want it to be, is so interesting to watch. This piece is absolutely beautiful 🤩!!! You are very gifted!❤❤❤❤❤

The bubbles really do add and helping it look like it’s a cave in the ocean. I love it when you think out loud. I love to see how you work everything out. It makes me feel more a part of what you’re doing. And heaven knows I will never do this by myself, so I love being a part of it.

Also, to echo others here, I love hearing your thought process. As an artist myself, I learn from other artists; and watching and hearing about the creative and technical processes are vital! I know that a couple of other makers here on KZfaq have made second "ASMR" type channels where there's no talking, and just the shop noises and whatnot. Some people do prefer that, but I think most people enjoy hearing you talk about what's going on. Anyway, keep up the great work! Designer Epoxy

Ну вот наконец я увидела лицо этого мастера❤ в основном а кадре руки и инструменты .А теперь можно увидеть этого человека! У вас очень хорошее лицо🎉 А ваши работы всегда поражают. У вас ролучаются очень красивые вещи. Дерево - это замечательный и уникальный материал. Лучше природы трудно что- либо создать. Но вы украшете природный материал, вернее, подчёркивает красоту дерева❤🎉🎉🎉 Замечательно!!!

Hello, I am some kind of a designer, listening to your ideas helps me in determining if what I am working on can be made. because in a computer anyrhing can be made but it is not so in the real world.

Really outstanding work!! I love the sheen on the maple,(I can’t think of the word for that lol) and the bubbles in the epoxy. Anyone would be thrilled to have this piece ❤️🤗🐝

I'm floored! This very unique vase is the most stunning piece I have ever seen!!! The flaws in the ocean part....don't worry about them. The ocean is organic, living and as such "ebbs and flows". The appearance changes minute by minute, second by second. Think of it as catching the ocean in one precious moment in it's ever moving and changing dance. Brilliant work!

I absolutely love hearing your thoughts as you go. But instead of a vase that would make a magnificent aquarium with fish swimming in the ocean.

@SpragueWoodturning 3 ай бұрын

It would take lots of epoxy coats to do that. Thanks

I am curious about your timing with the pressure pot. After a couple days in the refrigerator, the resin should have thickened quite a bit.. It seems like the pressure wouldn’t do much good at that point? Or am I wrong?

Your probably right, but I didn’t see the harm in doing so. Thanks
