Making an Urn, Saying goodbye in my own way.

A few weeks ago my father passed away and since there was nothing I could do to help him, my mind went to the things I could do. And making an urn for him, one that fit who he was, felt right. So this is the process of making that urn, my final gift to him.

Beautiful, in craftsmanship and meaning. Your hands have wrought a place for him to rest in this world, while his soul journeys through heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and peace.

I'm really sorry for your loss. What an amazing piece you made, Sending a hug from an internet stranger.

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Thank you very much Rodrigo. I´ve shared a lot of happy and cool moments with internet strangers such as yourself, but sometimes you need to share the sad stuff. Because a lot of good stuff has come back from sharing creativity with the world. And i figured this was another step in that direction.

A beautiful project

What a beautiful cathartic moment. The algorithm served this to me right now: my day off and deeply mourning the loss of my 2 year old nephew this summer who passed from a drowning. He passed a month after my sister suddenly died. Those first moments after a passing can freeze your motion, so truly - putting your hands to create such beautiful art while grieving is amazing. This piece is stunning.

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Wow, thank you Courtney for those kind words. The idea for this popped into my head when staying the night in his final days and feeling helpless. So suddenly I had something tangible that I could do for him, although posthumously. And the thought never went away. It sounds like you also had a rough time this past summer. The sadness aside, times like these always remind me (us) to put as much life as possible into our days, since we cannot control the amount of days in our lives. all the best, Yves

Sorry for your loss. Your father would be proud. Beautiful video and beautiful urn. All the best to you, love from a stranger in England. Keep up the good work

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Thank you, It will continue to suck for a while I´m sure, for the both of us. But from a crappy situation beautiful stuff can come, like re-kindling old relationships in the wake of his passing.

I’ve lost both of my parents. My father past when I was very young. He was a wood worker and I feel connected to him every time I’m working on a project. This was an awesome and well made video!

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Thank you Jay, I think that will be the way to keep his memory alive, to make stuff and occasionaly spot something in it that he would have done as well.

@aljeffcoat1327 2 года назад

My condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing this video, it was really rather interesting (in spite of the subject) to me to watch the process, as I'm starting to dabble in woodworking.

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

You are welcome, the main goal of my channel is getting people to start making the things they want in life, to provide one of many examples to make your own stuff. And this, although morbid, was one of those things. So I ended up sharing the video for that purpose as well as saying goodbye.

Thanks Grant. I like to think the same. although I can´t be sure there is 2 way communication to the afterlife, I´ll live my life as if there is.

My condolences, my man. My dad died of cancer when I was 14, it's an incredibly helpless feeling. This was a beautiful way of expressing your feelings of love and loss.

@PanduPoluan 2 года назад

I am so sorry for your loss. That said, a handmade final resting place for your dad, made lovingly by your own hands, sweat, and blood (yeah, I noticed the bandage) ... his souls will rest peacefully knowing he succeeded in making you a man. Also, the jig to make circular panels, that's a brilliant idea!

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

the bandage was indeed needed sir. I ended up cutting my finger badly on the jigsaw ( I was obviously somwhere else with my thoughts). so after a few stitches at the hospital I returned to finish the urn. So I´ll have a scar on my index finger that will forever remind me of that day.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I could see the pain in your eyes. Wishing you all the best. You did something which probably makes him smile on the other side of the veil. I'm sure he was very proud of having raised a loving and skilled son. Have a big old internet hug. Wish I could've done something like that for a friend who died on Dec. 20th last year. I miss him so much.

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Thank you so much, it sucks when people go. But remembering them makes all the difference

@marykohler9281 2 года назад

😪 the hardest part is saying goodbye People tell me they are preparing themselves for when their parents pass and I tell them you will never ever be prepared enough My mom passed at home here with me back in September 2021 and this is how long it has taken me to consider getting her a better urn than the one she is in now It's been so hard Your work is beautiful Your Dad be very proud

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Hi Mary, thank you so much for your comment. It’s very true. The feeling is so strange, its a flow of emotions: sad-angry-confused-better-normal-backtoweird-sad,etc…. Even though it has been more then 6 months I always feel strange when ppl mention my dad or talk about their fathers in general. I still carry his obituary letter in my backpack every day, can’t seem to put it away.

@marykohler9281 2 года назад
