please be careful with the epoxy resin, most resin's become toxic after being mixed and remain that way for three days, until full cure.i'm a boat builder in northern michigan,and i have burnt my lungs by working it to soon.remain well so you can keep making these beautiful projects
Dan, I really appreciate that, and I hope everyone reads your comment. I don't stress it in my videos but I should...Wearing an actual respirator is mandatory for health reasons when working with resin, and good airflow. Thank you very much!
Is this true? Damn. Yoi betyer be carefully working with it on the lathe then. Shit. I do alot of epoxt work too. Is it the one specific kind of epoxy? The boat epoxy? I know that one has fiberglass.....
@@dandeforest9439 dude I will totally take it to heart. But I do know that there are different types of epoxy. Do u happen to know if they all cause this problem, or just the boat epoxy?
@@FatNebraskaMom the only epoxy i use is West System, i got my information from there saftey book.I would think that any other company by law , would have to publish there own info. you should be able to find it on there web site.I know epoxies affect many people in different ways.some work with it for years without any effect,others can't go anywhere near it.systemic toxicity is from being assorbed by your body,and build up over weeks ,months or years. but some may never be affected.hydrocarbon's can have the same effect.i'm not a doctor ,this is just what i have read and been told by my doctor.I have had only the one bad experence,but that was my own fault,by working it before full cure,and not enough ventelation .you should be able to look this up on web md or google,maybe even utube.
I'm one of those who don't ha e the talent for woodworking, or turning, but I have a great respect for the beautiful art you guys create. That's a beautiful bowl. Thanks for these.
@Justin Bazzle Very few are born with talent, the rest of us have to learn it. Get into your shop and learn from your mistakes like the rest of us do. Don't expect to create a masterpiece in a day. Try a few different things until you find something that works, then expand on that.
Justin Bazzle I am the same although I am determined to have a go. These guys are another level but I imagine even the simplest of creations would be very rewarding. Have a go
I guess he s a true dreamer R. Humphrey. I like his videos cose most of lathe turners ate just showing quick videos without any commment. No info.. No fail... No real advice. Sounds a littl bit inhuman sometimes just looking for their ego and... Money back. Some Us or canadian or Brit give with humility lot of explanations. That s pleasant. Olivier Gomis f. Ex the french turner should give more explanations. He s really good but too much silent. Some russian or asian too!
Rod, your calm voice and descriptions of your work, make your videos very enjoyable and informative. I look forward to watching the rest of your work. Thank you for sharing.
Amazed, as always at the difference between the start and the outcome. I could watch this all day, I swear it. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them, sincerely.
There’s something so satisfying and relaxing about woodturning. I follow a bunch of other woodturning/carving accounts. Your voice is so soothing too. I wasn’t having the best night, so just sitting down and watching and listening to this really helped me out. The bowl turned out absolutely beautiful. I think if it was all pinecones it would have been a better better on the aesthetic part. However, I think the wood really made it organic and gave it another element that really added to the bowl. Keep up the great work! ❤️
This is going to sound terrible, but I watch your videos when I cant sleep. Your voice is extremely relaxing and it always helps put me at ease. Thank you Semper Fi Brother!
That doesn't sound terrible at all, I appreciate the compliment. This craft puts me at ease, so I'm really happy that feeling translates through! Semper Fi!!!
Thank you for your service marine, I lost my temper with a DI at Benning and they decided I wasn't made for the army. I kick myself in the ass everyday since then I blew a lifelong dream because of my temper
Your work Is absolutely beautiful! Your narration is great too. I just started watching wood turning videos and I love your channel. It’s really kool how you showcase other artists as well! Great Work!
I can’t believe how amazing the pine cones turned out!! Just beautiful! Such vision! At first I t just looked like a pile of junk in a bucket! Truly beautiful bowl!
I came across your video accidentally. I had never seen this kind of work but became completely engrossed in the process through which you created a beautiful piece of art from some sticks, pine cones and epoxy resin. The bowl you created was absolutely beautiful. Is it possible to purchase some of your pieces? I would very much enjoy having such a lovely place of art. You are a very talented craftsman.
I like your videos because you talk during them about your thoughts, etc. I just recently found the woodturning stuff and while the process is fascinating, you can only watch someone spin something on the turner without any real insight before you've 'seen it all', as it were. Your talking adds an insightful element that lets me listen while painting some wargaming miniatures, and keeping an eye on your progress.
R Humphrey first off thank you for your service. You will never know how much I appreciate you. Also beautiful work, looks so relaxing. I told my wife I want to try that.
Hey Doug, seem like we keep watching the same turners. Well when you have good taste...LOL.....I actually thought the fixed cracks looked part of the finish anyhow!
Thanks Doug! I'm not really sure...maybe I did too much at once and should have gone with timed layers...could have been that rotten wood causing problems. Thanks again!
R Humphrey The wood probably swelled with the heat of the resin, since as you said it was rotten. Then when you exposed it to a sharp cold over night, the wood cells shrank back and pulled away from the resin.
Thank you so much for sharing your work with us! Lately I have found these lathe-turning videos to be very relaxing and soothing...kind of peaceful, you know? And I want to thank you for the way your calm voiceovers help to settle my nerves at the end of these unsettling days. You are a wonderful therapist! ❤❤❤
You are very welcome. I bet the work you do to make your art is very relaxing and therapeutic for you? Woodworking and all crafting for that matter really helps center me and bring peace inside of me.
@@candacegoodenrn8118 Been working with K-9's almost 30 yrs. now and short of a sugar glider, ferret or hedge hog if it's a small mammal I've either had it before or currently have it right now. I have 10 Jack Russel/ Corrige/ Chichiuas, 1 dwarf rat and 4 snakes one of them being an albino western diamondback rattlesnake about 16 in. long. Like I said I'm an animal lover, for me it's a lot of work but it's more fun then work 😁🤗👍👍👍
The bowl is absolutely beautiful and you and so good at doing that, it’s absolutely amazing! I also love how by the end your arm and machine is covered in the strings that come off the bowl 😂
For a basic bowl this is exceptionally nice due to the way you mixed the different materials. I get tired of the same things that are often done but lately I have seen remarkable results.
That is so gorgeous I would love to do this my daughter does leather jewellery sewing all art but you need the tools that is what makes this loverly things
I bought my lathe used, with tons of cutting tools, finishes etc used on a local trade sale group, for an excellent price. Learn what you need, and shop around.
I mute the videos that play cheesy music in the videos but I really appreciate you talking us through what you're doing it really adds to the video for those of us just getting into wood working.
Thank GOD no cheesy music or weird computer voice!! Great that u explain what ur doing, tools ur using, etc. Great video, gorgeous work!! Thank you for sharing! Be safe, God bless🙏😀
Beautiful creation from common material, a true inspiration. I just outfitted my pressure pot for my first attempt with resin and want to inquire as to the make and colors of the pigments you use.
I bought a ten color combo pack...Mica powder by Pemline If I remember right, on Amazon for a great price. I bought the pearl separately, same place online. Thanks very much!
Thank you for doing what you do, both as a Marine and artist. Your voice and talent are soothing and beautiful to behold. Hugs and stay safe. We need you!
I don't woodturn but I love your videos and your very humble narration. The results are never less than amazing but this bowl is stunning. It must be wonderful to make this form of art because it's only in the middle and later stages that you actually get to see what is emerging --- same goes for we who subscribe and follow you. Far better than seeing a shrink - this is pure zen.
Rod that is one beautiful bowl this is only the second time I have seen a bowl being made from pine cones the other one was made by Nick Zammeti and both bowls are beautiful thank you once again for another amazing piece.
I think I'm going to subscribe to this channel, I love to watch these but don't like the theatrics that some of these channels have. It's a wood/resin project not a theatrical drama. Great work by the way 👍
Incredible finished effect, oceanic, the wood is very ship-timber looking, the pine cone edges look like fish scales, there's rocks and weird starfish. Absolutely stunning.
I use to do this stuff in Junior high! I made a wooden bowl,cutting board and a few small items that I made. I loved it!! I wish I had the equipment for this. Thank you for sharing a great memory
Nice. I like the way the resin is pressed into the tightest places on the pine cones as well as the randomness of the pine cones mixed in with Pearl and Blues of the resin. Then how the cut of the bowl into it all. The randomness of it all keeps my eye looking for the next random detail that was created by making the bowl.👍
I am really amazed with your talent and patience. You create wonderful stuff. After watching this kind of videos now I understand why the handmade stuff costs more. Creating just a bowl which is a real piece of art takes huge amount of time, effort and patience. Please keep up loading your your creations. All the best.
Ein großartiges Stück! Die Schale wirkt durch ihre Farbgebung in Kombination mit den Koniferenzapfen fast wie ein Erbstück aus einem alten europäischen Adelssitz. 👍👏
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I am absolutely blown away. I mean who would have known how much detail and relief a pine cone could have added to a turning such as this. I could easily buy the equipment to do this but, I do not possess the talent or artistic vision to even come close to this. All I can say is WOW!!!!! I am now subscribed.
Beautiful piece of art! I'm a word Carver myself, but after watching your work, I am deeply impressed. I work with epoxy resin at my job seaming granite together for customer's countertops, and I never thought of making art with epoxy resin. Mind blown!
Wow this is amazing my husband is learning and has been doing it since he was 18 and I just forwarded ur videos to him this morning telling him I want him to make me one lol he has def gotten me into it and I can't wait to start helping him make some stuff btw love ur videos has given me some inspirational ideas
Good day, sir! Am a recent subscriber to wood turning videos (my son does a bit of wood turning, and to get a feel for what he does, I started watching these RU-vid videos) and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the way you explain what you are doing as you go. Most especially I am impressed how you share your space with the work of other artists. As I watch you, an artisan, ply your craft, I am able to feel my own crafter’s blood begin to flow, and it fuels inspiration to get back into my own genre ... that of papier-mâché sculpture ... May you, and the work you do, be blessed and prosperous! 🌼🤗👍🏻 ... oh, and BTW - the bowl is sumptuous!
My husband found this pine con resin bowl and we are hooked! Will be investing and trying our own hand at this creative stuff! Thank you! I would love to have a set of salad bowls like this!! He has been Hresearching it for about 2 weeks now.
Hello dear sir! I do not understand everything that you speak English, but I feel the beauty of your work. I like the tree. Any tree in any form is beautiful. And you discover the beauty of the tree. I enjoy your videos. Thank you! You are a true artist.
I absolutely love the bowl and how you explained what you were doing in the video. It was short and to the point. The only thing I might recommend is putting a waste block in the center so you don’t end up needing to use quite as much resin. I am always looking for ways to save on my pours, so I don’t end up with most of my material on the floor around me. I find it’s too expensive for that.
Beautiful piece of art! The combination of the blue colors/pearl plus the integration of the wood different stages and pine corn made a exellent view in the finished piece. Great job, I liked it!
