Nobody Uses Wood Like This, and I Don't Know Why 

I see a bunny or a horse

I think u should try to make a vid of where u try to hand carve something nice!! Or an asmr vid. And how do you get enough money for making all those tables Bc I know that walnut is super expensive. Oh and u should try to make a table that is made of a lot of different types of wood!

I saw a fox

Baboon, project turned out great 👍👍

A wombat

The throw away scrap projects I enjoy it gives me new idea

If you can afford all the equipment necessary to transform this timber into a piece of art your rich🤣

I've never found any scrap pieces of walnut anywhere around my area. It's all super expensive

Second hand stores have alot of wood cutting boards for practicing on.

Your table is so beautiful. I have seen some wood workers put fake crystals, turquoise, or other jewels into the cracks with epoxy.

Stay strong 💪 Virtual support from a random guy watching cool stuff in his basement to fall asleep

I dont get how he keeps my attention I struggle to find anything to do that with my severe adhd

The wood tells what that tree saw during his life. Its amazing ! But I can not see a deer skull. I see the face of a dog.

Bulls head.

First looks like a deer to me too, but at the end of the video if you see it up side down it looks like a dog to me..

Donnie Darko mask

@@aimeem exactly

Couldn't have said it better myself.

@@gary7708 true. Although I've seen negative comments and non constructive criticism influence youtubers far more than you seem to think

tbh, he likely wants his viewers to post comments because that's good for the youtube algorithm. which is fair, afterall he makes great videos so it would be bad if he doesn't get a great enough audience for it.

I agree, always nice the different projects as you just never know what hits you that you love.

I agree, these "Off builds" are really interesting to watch.

David James - you make a perfectly valid and important point ! I would make the additional observation that there is a big difference between a craftsman's approach to building which is completely different from an artist's approach. I think we could make a general comment that craftsmen generally concern themselves with fine detail in their quest for perfection which can be seen as obsessive. Artists on the other hand are unconcerned with detail and perfection and strive only to create something expressive and individual, and are perfectly content to leave a whole slew af what the craftsman would call imperfections. In other words craftsman try to remove " character " while artists try to preserve it. I have found that craftsmen in general view artists as being sloppy and slipshod workers, and take it as an insult if they themselves are ever called artists.

@@crustyoldfart As an artist myself (watercolour mostly) my only "yes but" to that is the tendency of artists to keep tweaking and tinkering. It's actually a skill (and discipline) to be able to say "Enough!" and walk away. But basically your differentiation is correct. 😊 🇬🇧

@@davidjames2145 Another good point. I think every artist should have a trusted person present to snatch the work away to prevent it being spoiled by excessive tweaking. I'm given to understand that Leonardo never considered his ' Mona Lisa ' to be finished - a possible manifestation of the view that to ' finish ' a work is the same as killing it.

@@davidjames2145 I tye dye pretty much everything from shirts to table cloths ,suits,bed spreads, even coffee filters and cheese cloth spread out on a window where lots of light comes t through can be amazing. I take advantage of everything from acrylic and oil paints ,and spray paint and pens markers and even fruit to dye things and i make walking sticks and canes from wood i find at the lake and have made coat racks from old water logged trees and my daughter's old BF in middle school his parents moved to a new house and in the basement was 14 bins of Halloween decorations and masks and little extras. They in turn brought it all to me.They wasnt big on Halloween and i love it. 14 big totes was alot so i gave over half to the elementary school across from my house that my daughter had attended for there fall festival and such.I started playing around with masks and this is about the time the Walking Dead aired for the first time and it was like it was meant to be i stared making the masks I had into walkers and had some that resembled the cast then i also had a longtime girlfriend well best friend who later became more but she was a real artist. She had even won a contest that sent 2 people to study for a year in Italy. She yas a masters in art but as of now works part-time in a convenience store. Sadly drinking ended her passion for me and painting. It used to bother me that when she seen what i had been doing as anything bust art or even creative which i later realized was her problem. She could copy something and it looked great but to actually come up with ideas of what to paint and to be passionate about it had been lost to her. Im no serious artist but many love the stuff i come up with and whats most important is I do and ive ruined all kinds of stuff from not leaving it alone my daughter has become my go to as to when to stop. I just want anyone that has a passion and they see what others dont to know thats what i call a artist. They are creative and i almost let her shame me into giving it all up and Im happy i didnt and hope anyone ever in a similar situation doesnt get discouraged by craftsmen..Oh and I am writing a book as well and this will probably be a chapter.....lol sorry like i said im passionate about things and i have major ADHD...HAHHAHA

@@robertoliver5347 Good for you! 👍 It has all clearly enriched your life and the lives of others. I agree, I can't stress enough how beneficial and rewarding it is to make things; anything. I find similar rewards in repairing things. It's great that you weren't swayed from your path by someone unsupportive. I had the same experience. Now I'm with someone who is also creative and it's great. Good luck and good health. 👍 🇬🇧

Yes, a sloth I saw also.

i thnk its the camera

You really know your stuff bud

“Small tip from a sheet metal fabricator: when you drill holes in those metal discs, run the drill much faster. For that drill at 17:32 you would want about 1000 rpm. Your cutting force and also the chips will be smaller, so less risk of the workpiece flying off, the drillbit breaking or overheating. You can easily find rpm charts online. Don't press too hard on the handle and lubricate. When you lubricate with something like acetone from a spray bottle, that will evaporate without stains by itself or with the help of compressed air.” Ok makes sense I definitely read through that Or did I?… Wait till June 7th

@@MrSockZa1st This is the Internet. You have to tell them NOW lol! People these days can't wait that long, they need it now.

Yep, lubricant needed always sir, for any type of drills. Every man friend is a lubricant! One way or another!

just one thing for your consideration, the transition between the 2 parts of the base might be best solved if you intentionally add a pattern between them so to state the transition clearly. The smothness of the curve makes the two directions of the lines of the wood somewthat abrupt.

I saw a hairless cat

I depends on the angle but a baby deer with closed eyes and described by you hair patch is definitely there.

I saw a sad bunny with a beard.

it resembles the nose of a baboon

That's exactly the order for me

Deer are my favorite type of primate!

I saw a sloth in the end, too!

river table...finally someone said it!

I saw a bison at first as well

Kitsune just means fox in Japanese. The term doesn't suggest anything mythical.

Awe! So sorry for you guys
