Woodturning - Tangled Up In Blue. 

Nice one T. Much love man 💛

Thank you so much!

Nice one MD. Are you from the future?

Thanks buddy. I agree. Sometime resin is the best way to go.

Well that’s great to hear. Thanks so much for watching buddy. It means so much

Awesome! Thank you! What would you keep inside?

Much love from the UK 🇬🇧

Nice one! What would you use it for?

Islands in the steam?

Thanks S! Do you mind if I ask how you found this video?

@@JackMackWoodturning I happened on videos by Four Eyes Furniture, which led to Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Studio, which then led to you. RU-vid algorithm. 😃

Well that’s interesting! Hope you are enjoying the video’s 😊💛👍🏻

Thanks man. Did you like the colour?

Thanks Rich, how’s it going?

Thanks Sue. Much appreciated. One for the earrings perhaps?

Thanks Stacey. How are you?

Thanks so much. Is this your favourite?

Great concept. Should I do a sphere?

Thanks Lynda! What would you keep inside?

Nice one Maddy, what would you keep inside?

Thanks Beverly. Is this something you’d have in your home?

Thanks 😉

Thanks so much. Yeah pretty pleased with the colour finish. Is blue your favourite colour?

Thank you Jack!

Yeah, I think that’s my favourite part about the piece. Have you seen any of my other videos?

@@JackMackWoodturning yes nearly all of them! They help me fall asleep 😅

Haha. I’m glad I can be of assistance. If you watch my playlists and they play through after you fall asleep it will help me enormously 😊👍🏻💛😎

Is that a series?

@@JackMackWoodturning only in my mind...lol the blue color resembles water that could easily surround the 'island looking' wood areas. The 'hidden treasure' refers to the finished lidded piece, one could use as a place to keep something precious....such as small jewelry. Your creativity is always a joy to watch from beginning to end.

Thanks May. I love the idea of islands and water. Maybe it could be a series of boxes and nested bowls?

@@JackMackWoodturning I find that idea very interesting .....yes yes yes 😀😀

Haha, I’ll add it to my endless list of ideas 💡 😊👍🏻

Thanks for watching buddy

Thanks a lot Kobie. How are you?

Thanks a lot J. Are u in UK?

@@JackMackWoodturning I am in United States.

Cheers buddy. I’m glad I went for the blue. Where are you watching from?

I told him - “If Mr. Dylan doesn’t want it, I’ll take it!” Really beautiful piece!

Thanks so much G 😎👍🏻

Yeah I’m happy with how it turned out, thanks so much for watching. Is this one of your favourites?

I know me too! Always come in handy. Are you like me and accumulate lots of stuff in little vessels?

@@JackMackWoodturning Yup... Lots of useless little things that I probably should just throw away, but might have a purpose later!!! 🤣😂🤣

Haha! It’s funny how much stuff we accumulate. More boxes and bowls mean more place to put things. I need to stop taking pieces home 🤣

@@JackMackWoodturning at least you have something beautiful to keep stuff in!! 🤣😂🤣

Haha! Well I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching as always. It means a lot 😊👍🏻💛

Thanks V. Glad you enjoyed it 💛👍🏻😊

Thanks for watching

Very kind! Thank you for watching

Thanks Kathryn! I appreciate your feedback 😊

Thank you kindly

Haha thanks buddy! I’m so glad you think so! Where are you watching from?

So glad to hear it’s going well. Please feel free to reach out if you need to ask anything 😊 and good luck. Keep me posted on your progress

Thank you so much, I will!

What is your next project?

Nice one Pete. Did you like the blue?

@@JackMackWoodturning yes blue looks like blue sky would love to do the same colour ,amazing work.

What blue powder is it cheers

Thanks Gerry, did you like the colour?

@@JackMackWoodturning matched perfectly👌👌

Nice one man! I’m glad you think so. How’s it going?

Thanks Ange. Do you always prefer Matt?

@@JackMackWoodturning Hello Jack. I think the wood being used should be allowed to dictate the finish as a general rule. However, the final use of the item, whether it needs to be food safe or “ornamental” is also a consideration. Then, of course, there is the use of resin and how this is turned into an embellishment of the wood. But you are the person doing the work and observing how your design is turning out. Also, you are a proper wood turner - I am just an interested observer who has a love of wooden objects - you know what you want and how you feel it should look. And, on that score, what I have seen of your work does not disappoint. So, in answer to your question, whatever finish you feel is right, will be right, and I will happily go along with that decision. Just sorry this is such a very long-winded response. 👍

Haha no problem at all. I think I will always favour matt aesthetically. Although like you say, functionality can dictate the finish, along with the client. Have you ever tried turning?

@@JackMackWoodturning I took up watching wood turning during the lockdowns and got a bit “hooked” and have never really stopped since. I like the idea of learning to turn wood but, now at nearly 70, I’m probably a bit too old to learn - and the fingers are getting a bit arthriticy as well. So I think I’ll just watch people like you create lovely pieces. Sit back, and enjoy! Have a great week and I will look forward to watching your next project.

Ah OK no problem. So glad you are enjoying the video’s. New one dropping Friday at 12 😊👍🏻💛

Thanks a lot man. What does TF stand for?

@@JackMackWoodturning nothing exciting, initials; Thomas Foos.

Foos is a unique surname. Where are you from buddy?

@@JackMackWoodturning from the US, but I live in Cape Town South Africa now.

Must be nice weather. Is it rough there? I have a friend who lived there who saw a lot of gun crime. It was many years ago though

Thanks S. Would you prefer it clear?

Cheers buddy!

Cheers Colin!

Nice one Dusty, how’s it going man?

Thanks a lot B. Much appreciated man. Have you made many boxes?

That was my thinking! Another vessel to put stuff in haha. Are you like me then?

@@JackMackWoodturning LOLOL Never enough places to hold things, the list is unlimited. Love watching you create 🌻

Nice one Sis. Are you a nun?

@@JackMackWoodturning No just live like one :) LOLOL

🤣 in a convent?

Thanks G. Much appreciated. Do you work with wood?

@@JackMackWoodturning yes

Thanks for watching. Did it turn out how you thought it would?

I agree. It totally pops doesn’t it?

@@JackMackWoodturning indeed 👍

Nice one David. Always good to see you buddy 😊👍🏻

Cheers buddy. Where are you watching from?

Thanks for watching and your kind words 😊

Thanks for watching. We’re you worried it wasn’t going to work out?

@@JackMackWoodturning At the beginning I was worried that one wouldn't be able to see through it, thinking it was going to be something to 'look through'. But you created a extremely nice jewelry box. Very nice!

Nice one J. Is that a waterfall?

Thanks man. What does SCFA stand for?

@@JackMackWoodturning abbreviation for my favorite game Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

Thanks Kath. Would you have chosen a different colour?

@@JackMackWoodturning Oh, I don't think so. I think it is beautiful !!

Glad you think so Kath. Much appreciated. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning The middle Iowa in the US.

Have you swam in the Mississippi?

Sorry I have no way of translating this comment 👍🏻

That’s very kind. Thank you for watching. Is this you’re favourite?

@@JackMackWoodturning No, the pinecone case is still my favorite, but you do so many beautiful creative things

Thanks buddy 👍🏻

Thanks so much for watching. May I ask where abouts on the globe you’re watching?

@@JackMackWoodturning watching from Minnesota. I love all your turnings! I try to turn myself but far from your level!

Ah thanks a lot man. What projects do you have on the go at the moment?

Thanks Beth. Good weekend planned?

No staying inside out of the heat

Thanks B. Are you German?

Thank you for watching

Nice one Jay! Few people aren’t happy. Do you think a different colour may have worked better?

Yes! Gotta love a pot or two to hide stuff in. Are you like me and collect bowls and pots to store stuff 😂

@@JackMackWoodturning Way too much. Bowls, pots, boxes.

Haha, I think it may be a curse. Drawers too right?

😅 You creeping on me? How did you know?

Haha! I call them the drawers of doom. We have 3 in our house. If ever something can’t be found then check the drawers of doom. Always find something interesting 🤣

Haha I like that. Thanks for sharing and for watching. Is this your favourite then?

@@JackMackWoodturning My favorite. It would be a centerpiece on my coffee table. But no promises that the next thing you post won’t immediately become my favorite, too. 😘

Haha! Thanks a lot. Where in US are u?

@@JackMackWoodturning Smack dab in the middle of the country! Pittsburg Kansas.

I only know Kansas from the Wizard of Oz 🤣

Thanks buddy. You like the blue?

Thank you kindly! Where are you watching from?

USA 🇺🇸 northwest.

Well much love from the UK North East!

Nice one Randal. Do you think a different colour would have worked better?

@@JackMackWoodturning I don't think so. The blue makes it look vaguely like a map or a globe. I like the effect.

Thanks Man. A few people have said that. Maybe I should have come up with a better title. Any spring to mind?

Drop me an email if you are interested in buying the piece. info@jackmackwoodturning.com What would you use it for?

Not sure. Possibly just an art piece - it’s reminiscent of a map from another world! Different lands never before seen and seas never sailed! Whatever it would eventually be used for I would stare at it and see new things all the time!

I love your description. It really helps conjure some nice imagery. Distant planets with unfamiliar landscapes. Nice!

Pink?

@@JackMackWoodturning my fav color and there are hardly any wood and resin turners that use pink...lol Love your work

I’ll try and add some pink to something for you. Leave it with me 👀💛😊

Thanks S. What would you keep inside?

@@JackMackWoodturning my turquoise jewelry!

Haha great idea. Do you have a lot of turquoise jewels?

@@JackMackWoodturning not a huge amount but the ones I have would be perfect stored in that pretty box. 😊

Certainly seems fitting! I think it’s the best idea I’ve heard so far 😊👍🏻💛

Haha thanks a lot. Do you think black might have been better?

@@JackMackWoodturning maybe but many people use black. This blue is unique. Kinda looks like a globe of earth.

Thanks man. I think I agree. A few people have made the same connection. Do you make knives?

Thanks Ren. What would you use it for?

​@@JackMackWoodturningJust put it on a sideboard or a shelf in a dominant position and enjoy

Never put anything inside?

​@@JackMackWoodturningToo precious for use

I’m glad you think so. Thanks for watching buddy 😊👍🏻

So glad you think so. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning watching you from Long Island, New York, USA 🇺🇸

New York! Always wanted to visit and try a slice. Is it as good as they say?

@@JackMackWoodturning the pizza is amazing and the beaches are beautiful. Come and visit!

Yeah, I like the blue, do you?

@@JackMackWoodturning Absolutely love it.

Great. Thanks man. Always good to be reassured on a decision. I guess it could have gone either way. How are you doing?

@@JackMackWoodturning Been better but thanks for asking.

What’s up man?

That’s so kind Amanda. Did it turn out how you imagined in the end?

@@JackMackWoodturning hi it turned out better

Well that’s good to hear. Thanks 🙏 What would you use it for? 😊💛👍🏻

@@JackMackWoodturning I use it for my humbug mints

Ooh, nice! Is that the black and white ones?

Thank you for watching Gianna. Where are you watching from?

@JackMackWoodturning I'm from Los Angeles CA.

Ooh nice. What do you do there? I have only seen it in movies. Looks amazing

@JackMackWoodturning I'm a nurse (retired). My sister and I take care of my mom too.

Ah OK. Is living there as good as the movies makes out?

Should I make another one?

@@JackMackWoodturning Sure, but don't mind my comment. Anyway you choose to do them, they're each things of great beauty! 🤩

Nice one thanks a lot. Are you in the UK?

@@JackMackWoodturning No, I'm in Eastern Europe. Romania.

Ah OK. I’ve never been but I hear it is beautiful there. Would you recommend anywhere for a holiday?

Nice one John. Will you make one?

Would you have preferred clear resin?

Ooh nice. Is it seasoned?

@@JackMackWoodturning Don't think so, it was cut down about six months ago I believe ... already turned an egg and I'm in the process of doing a vase/bowl type thingy, but I can feel that the wood is slightly damp. I need to buy a moisture meter and then read up on how to season it properly ... I have it under a tarp at the moment to keep direct sun/rain off, with plenty of air circulation ... I'm a complete novice at this stuff!!

We all start somewhere. I’m happy to help if you have any questions 😊👍🏻

Thanks man. What are you working on at the moment?

@@JackMackWoodturning A carrot wood hybrid vase. Green epoxy. Carrot wood is invasive here in Florida.

Sounds nice man! Would love to see it

@@JackMackWoodturning A preview is posted on my community tab.

Thanks Sue. Glad to see you back. Where have you been?

Thanks Rog. How’s it going buddy?

@@JackMackWoodturning Hiya Jack, all's well here thanks A busy weekend which was nice and managed to get a bit of turning in too 👍

Ah nice. What are you working on?

@@JackMackWoodturning I made a shallow bowl/plate about 10 inches diameter from ash last week and a small "bulb" shaped "vessel" from what I was told is rubber wood. I got this wood from George Barnsley a company in Sheffield that makes tool handles. Not far from where I live

Oh nice. Was there any interesting character in the rubber wood?

Nice one Ange. Are you an artist?

@@JackMackWoodturning I’m not so much anymore but, I used to do a lot of crafting with paper patterns, florals and wreath pieces many years ago! I still have a eye for artwork though❗️

Like origami?

@@JackMackWoodturning No unfortunately I didn’t have any luck with that. I meant more with making paper designs with different colors/shapes and or materials to create artwork.

Ah OK, sounds interesting all the same. Have you ever tried batik?

Thanks so much

Nice one Jim. Glad you enjoyed it man. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Hi always enjoy watching,Canterbury Kent is my patch. 👍🐝🌞

Oh, very nice indeed. Sounds rather posh. The cathedral is wonderful. I haven’t been for a while though. I’m stuck up North in the land of the pits.

@@JackMackWoodturning Hi my family on my mams side were from Ashington Nothumberland came down to work in the Kent coal field. 👍

Oh wow! Small world isn’t it. Not far from me. Perhaps our relatives know each other somewhere down the line

Thanks Lysan. What is your Avatar?

@@JackMackWoodturning My avatar: The lake at sunset, two minutes by foot from where I live. I feel so lucky to live there.

Oh wow! Can I come to visit. Looks amazing! 😊👍🏻

@@JackMackWoodturning Well, it's in Germany, at the outskirts of Berlin. So I have a vibrant city and the great outdoors all in one place. I also have a kayak at the lake which sees a lot of use...;-). It's my happy place.

Ah that sounds fantastic. I have been to Berlin. It was a great place to visit although I remained in the city. Do you fish?

Cheers buddy! Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning Texas

The land of BBQ. Do you cook?

@@JackMackWoodturning absolutely making a dry rubbed brisket soon

OMG, sounds amazing. Is your dry rub a secret recipe handed down through generations?

Thanks cake man. I made a Victoria Sponge yesterday 🤤

@@JackMackWoodturning How did You do? A Sponge Cake is not an easy Cake to make. If You remember use "Cake Flour" instead of All-purpose flour and remember unsalted Butter 🧈 and fresh Eggs. Always check your Oven and make sure that the "Temperature" is Correct, sometimes Ovens can run High or slightly off. So purchase an Oven Thermometer. Just a few words to Help You out.
