These look amazing Jim, I just done one of these, only a small one but I love who it works. thanks for sharing this mate

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Glad you like them, the possibilities with Milliput are endless. All the best, Jim

@wreckcelsior 8 лет назад

I personally think that Milliput should be paying you to showcase their product. ;) Love the wood in this one... great bowls. cheers.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks again, I am not being paid by Milliput but they have sent me a few free packs of the stuff. Cheers, Jim

@missteeturns 5 лет назад

Looking at this video as a refresher as I'm just about to use some Milliput on the edge of my latest project bowl.🙂

@JimsonMakes 5 лет назад

Thank you very much for watching and I hope your Milliput project goes well Cheers Jim

@dawnmason9558 3 года назад

Licorice allsorts putty Jim..I love how you make patterns in the milliput.

@JimsonMakes 3 года назад

Many thanks for watching my old videos Dawn

@alansimpson596 8 лет назад

Thank you Jim. You've got me well and truly hooked on your amazing work. I also pleased that you've got two of the biggest names in wood turning, namely Carl and Mike, recommending you. I'm an obsessive wood turner and I too try not to take a piece off the chuck until the very last moment. Best wishes, Alan.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

I am a bit of a perfectionist, and drive myself mad at times, but attention to detail gives great results in the end. All the best, Jim.

@AndysCornishCreations 8 лет назад

Hi Jim !! Lovely pair of bowls I turned a bowl for a present with ring of milliput around the top. I twisted black and white together and it looks great. Thanks again !! All the best.........Andy.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Andy, I'm glad I inspired you to try it. There are so many possibilities with Milliput. All the best, Jim

@AlFurtado 8 лет назад

WOW what a great idea thank you very much for sharing. I must admit after seeing this it struck some other ideas, I can't wait to try something similar. Take care

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Al, I've watched your great work for some time now, so I really value your opinion. The possibilities with Milliput are endless, I have another video hopefully being posted within the next few days showing another way of using it and colouring it. Thanks for subscribing, all the best, Jim.

@simonleach4375 8 лет назад

Jim, three fantastic videos, what a great idea with the Milliput. I've been using the stuff for years and know just how good it is. I suspect now that Mr Waldt has seen this it could go viral :-)....be prepared for an avalanche of subscribers! Looking forward to more videos. Cheers

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

I hope so, friends and family have been telling me to showcase my creations for years. Several more videos in the pipeline. Cheers Jim

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

And thanks for taking the time to watch all the videos and commenting, glad you liked them, much appreciated,all the best, Jim. ( sorry, got distracted yesterday when replying to your message ).

@simonleach4375 8 лет назад

No worries, looking forward to the next installment.

@paultrembath201 8 лет назад

Nice work Jim. It's another idea to embellish our turnings. Thanks

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Paul. More ideas soon. All the best , Jim

@joergenilsoee1380 4 года назад

Hi Jim It looks very good and artistic IT WILL BE SOMETHING i WOULD LIKE WORK WITH IN THE FUTURE - be happy

@JimsonMakes 3 года назад

Thank you very much

@AppleNewspaper 8 лет назад

WOW! I was led here by peter brown when he did almost the same thing but the patterns in the MILLIPUT are AMAZING excellent job!

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words. The pattern possibilities are endless. All the best, Jim

@seniorchiefharris 8 лет назад

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm looking forward to your new videos and especially your ideas on including 'colors' to the putty! Again, thanks for all of your videos and safe turning to you!

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

No problem Kenn. I've got all these creative ideas whizzing round in my head, it's just finding the time to film and edit them all. The colouring video should be good if it comes out as well as I hope it will. All the best, Jim.

@tonyphillips238 8 лет назад

brilliant concept,can't wait to get some milliput and inlay a bowl

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Tony. It is well worth trying and gives a lovely finish with 1200 grit. Mix it thoroughly and let it set overnight. All the best, Jim

@jhondoe8728 8 лет назад

Like other many, I was led here by Peter Brown, but wow. Did not expect that well of a result with that putty. Good stuff, Jim. Might just have to get myself some of that putty.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for having a look at my channel. I'm glad you like what I do. Try the Milliput, it has so many possibilities. All the best, Jim

@larrryvw279 8 лет назад

Just a quick tip . When rolling Milliput, it wont stick to the roller if you keep the roller wet. You can also add a few drops of water on the Milliput. Just like rolling pastry dough and adding flour. Great videos.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

I use water when working with Milliput but try and avoid it with wood as sometimes it creates a coloured slurry which can soak into the grain. I have found that rolling it between sheets of baking parchment also works well ( I used this technique in my video where I coloured the Milliput turquoise). All the best, Jim

@cornwasher 8 лет назад

You do beautiful work and are certainly a craftsman. Thank you for the video.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, all the best, Jim

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Ian, give it a try. All the best, Jim

@MikeWaldt 8 лет назад

Another very interesting and enjoyable video Jim. the two bowls look superb, especially the chevron design. Excellent video mate. Take care Mike

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Mike, glad you like it, I've got several other ideas in mind. Cheers, Jim.

@xxwrd 6 лет назад

@jenniferharton6383 5 лет назад

I haven't seen anyone better with the miliput. You are very talented and I'm glad i found your channel. I think i found it off of Nick Zammeti channel.

@JimsonMakes 5 лет назад

Thank you very much Jennifer. I am delighted you found my channel, Nick Zammeti is a good friend of mine, we actually live quite near to each other. Cheers Jim

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Steve, glad you like my stuff. More semi-educational stuff coming soon. All the best, Jim

@johnvoak8970 8 лет назад

Two excellent bowls Jim. The last time I used Milliput was some years ago when modelling Tanks and other Military models, figures etc. This has certainly given me some ideas. Thanks for sharing the videos. I followed the link from a Mike Waldt video.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks John, give Milliput a try, it certainly adds another dimension to turning. All the best, Jim

Una idea muy interesante, con un sin fin de posibilidades.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

The possibilities are endless, thanks for watching and commenting, all the best, Jim

@geofo60 8 лет назад

Really enjoyed this project Jim, especially the chevron design. I used Milliput years ago to model some parts for a 1932 Ford roadster hotrod I built (they were used for casting aluminium one off parts), never thought I'd see it as a medium to accent wood turned pieces. Brilliant video & thanks for sharing. I'll be subscribing to your channel right now. Regards ...... Geof Harris

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Dear Geof, thanks for your very kind words, and thanks for subscribing. I've used Milliput for years for all manner of projects, it is a very versatile product. All the best, Jim

@CollinFrench 8 лет назад

Thanks again for these Jim, watched all three now and white and black Milliput were dispatched from Amazon this afternoon. :) I have a plain 14x2" blank that I want to put a simple and thin (ish) inset in. :) Coll

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Give it a try, it is a very satisfying technique to use. Give it plenty of time to set before finishing it. It will feel hard after 4 hours at room temperature but will be much harder if left overnight.Jim.

@charlesholland6851 8 лет назад

that's awesome!

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Charles, much appreciated. Cheers, Jim

@coltaylor5878 8 лет назад

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for following Peter Brown's link to my channel. I'm glad you like what I do. The copper and twigs bowl has proved very popular. Thanks again, Jim.

@BlackCat_2 8 лет назад

Those came out wonderful! I may have to check into that. It looks wonderful! I love the name too. Milliput. :p That orange and black bit of leftover you had looked awesome. Two of my favorite colors. :D - Heidi

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for subscribing, I'm glad you liked the videos, I have lots more ideas that I will show in future videos. All the best, Jim.

@janine204 7 лет назад

Next time you roll your millionth out, try putting a second piece of grease proof paper over the top and then use your roller onto the paper .... don't know much about wood turning, but I have 'kitchen skills'! Great project 👍

@JimsonMakes 7 лет назад

Thanks Janine, I do now use that technique when I want more even sheets. I think I may have shown it in my video called the Bubinga Birdseye Banded bowl. I like the more random patterns you get by hand squidging. Milliput is very sticky and will even stick to baking parchment, it takes a bit of mastering. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. All the best, Jim.

@improbable7237 7 лет назад

Looks like you are on your way to making a cane for a repetitive intricate pattern. Look up 'polymer clay canes' for some impressive patterns. Terrific video and lathe-work!

@JimsonMakes 7 лет назад

Thank you very much. I have made some canes out of milliput for more detailed patterns. Check out my bubinga bullseye bowl video. Cheers, Jim

@davene4507 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video Jim, some good ideas there, i wonder how the epoxy would look with a texturing tool or a chatter tool might work. regards Dave

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks Dave, I recently acquired a Robert Sorby texturing and spiralling tool, so I have been wondering the same thing. In theory it should work well, as it doesn't chip out easily. I will hopefully be doing a video on this soon. Cheers, Jim

@TomSavadel 8 лет назад

excellent results! do you think color can be mixed into this putty prior to setting?

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks, apparently colour can be added, Milliput suggest pure pigment powder ( best with the White putty I would think ) have a look on their website, I have put a link in the description, there are quite a few tips on colouring on there. The different Milliput colours can be blended together and I have found that some great marble effects can be achieved. Jim.

@morgancalvi6675 2 года назад

Fascinating Jim! Can younreuse that spent milliput...rehydrate it? Or is it a gonner? Will it help in punky, cracked wood inside resin?

@morgancalvi6675 2 года назад

I was wondering how the black and white lines were perfectly straight...smart man you are!

@JimsonMakes 2 года назад

thank you

@JimsonMakes 2 года назад

It is epoxy based so once cured it remains cured, it is good for filling voids in wood. Many thanks for watching .

@gordroberts53 8 лет назад

Nice vidio, Jim. Now to find Milliput in Canada...

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I'm not sure if it's available in Canada, I know it is available in the USA because I found it on Amazon.com, it was a bit more expensive though. All the best, Jim.

@Crafty_Kritter 5 лет назад

Are there only a few colors of the milliput? I have only seen people using white, black, yellow and the rusty color.

@JimsonMakes 5 лет назад

There are 6 colours in total including the new awesome turquoise colour. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my videos. Cheers Jim

@seniorchiefharris 8 лет назад

Great video's Jim! I really enjoy what you've done and it's given me a number of ideas to embellish some of my turnings. I wonder if you can mix some fine metal powder into it without harming the turning/durability of the product (i.e.; copper, bronze, aluminum powder, etc.)? Thanks sooo much for sharing and I'm looking forward to future videos from you! Safe turning always!

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

I have done a fair bit of resin cast bronze work, so have wondered this myself. You can add powder to the putty but it will make it a bit crumbly. I have a video coming up shortly where I am modifying the putty ( not with metal powder ) but my technique needs modifying. I think too much metal powder would be needed to achieve a good aesthetic result, I have some ideas that may overcome this but untested. Thanks for your comments, Jim.

@joesjigs 8 лет назад

Thats really nice ! Quick question where did you get the blade holder you use to cut the putty? Thanks JOE

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. The blade holder is actually made out of the Milliput epoxy putty, I use it to make and repair all sorts of things. All the best, Jim

@richardbuckley6989 Год назад

Are you selling your milliput vessels? How does the public react to the combinations of wood and putty?

@JimsonMakes Год назад

I occasionally sell or give away pieces, people seem to like the ceramic effect

@levidee9105 6 лет назад

I was wondering I you had any old Woodturning tools I could use if you don’t want them

@JimsonMakes 6 лет назад

Sorry, I’ve already sold my redundant tools. Cheers, Jim

@andrewhexter4813 7 лет назад

Hi Jim can you add coloured inks or spirit stains to milliput to make different colours.

@JimsonMakes 7 лет назад

Hi Andrew, yes you can colour the white Milliput, have a look through my earlier videos and I did a couple where I did some colouring. It is quite messy to do, I use pigment powder with epoxy resin as a carrier. I have not tried spirit stains yet but it is on my list list of things to try. Cheers, Jim.

@guyzannini1646 7 лет назад

do you have to put epoxy on the wood then the milliput or just the milliput, ,,,thank you

@JimsonMakes 7 лет назад

Hello Guy. Sometimes I coat the recess in a slow set epoxy resin but it is not always needed and I did not do it in these bowls. Milliput is very sticky on its own, I only use epoxy resin when I think the joint may be under more stress, such as a full thickness inlay or if the Milliput is going to be carved or textured. Cheers, Jim

@guyzannini1646 7 лет назад

Thank you

@bogddy87 8 лет назад

Hi Jim, Your work are fantastic, I have to admit, I'm in love :))) But what are you using for such a polish? It is as well,waterproof? I might try to do some when I will have some time ( just for fun and for curiosity regarding "how far my imagination can go" :P ) And, if you are kind and I'm sure you are, from where can I buy Milliput epoxy putty and the substance for polish? :) Thx in advance, your work are amazing!

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Many thanks for your very kind words, I'm glad you like what I do. In this video I used sanding sealer and sanded to 1200 grit. I used a microcrystalline wax to finish. The sanding sealer is cellulose and is made by Chestnut products and is widely available in the UK but I'm not sure if available worldwide. The wax I use is called Renaissance Wax and is available on eBay. Milliput is available on Amazon and many other places, best google it. I have now started using Yorkshire Grit for much of my finishing ( see my latest video) .I hope this helps, Jim.

@bogddy87 8 лет назад

This is more than I can ask for. You gave me all info that I need it. Thank you one more time, wish you all the best!

@19693201 8 лет назад

if you want to roll it out put the milliput in ziplock bag and roll it thin as you like

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

I have found the best way is to roll it between sheets of baking parchment, which I show in my next video. I tried it in ziplock bags and it just sticks to them. For most of my projects I prefer the more random look that hand pressing gives. Some ziplock bags may be better than others though. All the best, Jim

What part of the U.K. Do you live in me and my family are here on vacation( if you live in the uk)

@ТолькоНебо 8 лет назад

Hi! Beautiful and useful video! What is the price of Milliput! In Russia we have to get it very difficult!:))

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Thank you. In the UK it costs between £3.50 and £7.00 per packet. Try emailing Milliput and ask them where to get it. There is a link to their website in the description . Cheers, Jim

@ТолькоНебо 8 лет назад

Thank You, Jim! Will look for!!:)) Good luck!!

@dr.duly.6926 8 лет назад

Maybe your mahogany is some thing else. I have had the same trouble turning what we call Asobe in UK IPE general / commen name Ironwood. A lot of sharpening no shavings only dust. Also used for harbour protection as it can with stand salt water and baricalls dont grow on it. Just a sugestion. David.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

It could be, but most people who have looked at, think it is most likely a type of mahogany. I think it is probably mahogany but it is very old and weathered and has just gone very hard and brittle. It has a slight musty smell to it, I suspect it was probably left outside for some time in its past. It is a bit of a mystery as to what it was taken from. I suspect it may have been a piece of fitting from a ship. Cheers, Jim

@dr.duly.6926 8 лет назад

With the extra info you put in you answer I am sure it is IPE. If you are on FB then I can show you what I think you have. The colouring is very much like mahogany. David.

@JimsonMakes 8 лет назад

Yes I think you are right. I looked it up on the wood database when I got home from work and it looks spot on, the specific gravity is correct too. A good spot by yourself ! The grain and pores look identical. The wood database is well worth looking at if you haven't done so, loads of great information on there. Thanks for your help, all the best, Jim.
