Your pieces are absolutely stunning, and it is clear that it takes incredible artistic vision to do the work you do... However, the amount of wood wastage bothers me; do you ever collect the shavings and cast them in epoxy to make more pieces?
At secondary school in the mid 1960's my friend clued several pieces of different woods together and turned out a beautiful bowl. Either by luck of fluke it was sensational and the talk of the school for a while.
I think the finished product is absolutely amazing! Just it in its self is a complete work of art. I believe it is so beautiful and unique that it should have a name. Thank you for sharing your artistry!
What's being done by this artist is really amazing. Something....each of us should notice....we should not lose sight of how large the initial piece was. It was HUGE! Now compare the before and the after pictures of this item. What would have kept the artist from using a smaller initial build to end up with the same basic result. Why should you begin with something so large...when you basically end up carving most of off during turning.
The work of highly skilled crafters always looks easy...I feel that I could turn this urn even though I have never used a lathe. I really like your work and admire your skills
Me, too. I think I have been watching too many Woodturning videos where the craftsmen/women have paid much more attention to detail and had much more sophisticated tools. Nice concept, but kinda crude.
A major "No. No." is turning with gloves. A long-sleeved shirt isn't wise. One little mistake and he's in the ER. Whether intentional or not he needs to post a warning pointing out gloves aren't recommended. Otherwise a very nice video.
Wonder how many “craftsmen” in that factory are missing digits or have serious injuries from their poor safety protocols? Use a push block, take the gloves off, and get your thumb away from the large spinning mass…not a huge deal…makes me itch…laughing though how people pay thousands for high- end tools and are matched by guys using sharpened metal rods…
# 1. Wood must be very cheap where ever you are! # 2. You keep playing fast and lose with the lathe & tools and they will be calling you nubby pretty soon! I guess it's good art but just not very practical! 🤔 I'll pass! 😐
Well named - Woodturning Crazy. A waste of wood here, far too much turned away to dust. Poor glue-up, lines showing and inaccurate centring giving side panels of different sizes. Should have been hollowed, the glue joint at the base would have been ideal for this. All in all, a poorly thought out and poorly executed attempt, although the overall shape is pleasing. I haven't mentioned the use of gloves yet, maybe I'd better stop there.
It's too tedious watching you cut, plane and glue each piece of wood in this video. In the future meby you could just show one and then maybe the glue up then the trimming, turning and finishing of your project.
