Woodturning - You Won't Believe Your Eyes !! 

Thanks buddy. I spend a great deal of my working day cutting on the bandsaw and have done for 20 years. It’s all about practice 👍🏻

@JackMackWoodturning 20 years?! Your talent and skill prove that of a well practiced tradesman but I didn't know a young pup like you would be old enough to work these machines 20 years ago! Very nice work! I'm impressed with your eye for detail and I can see you follow the "do it right or not at all" mindset! Same way my big brothers taught me:)

Mine too... and watching this, I was wishing my dad could have watched it with me.

😢 сочувствую

Mine too.. he would have loved watching these videos with me and appreciated such talent.

Thanks Mrs D. Hope you are enjoying your holiday 😊👍🏻❤️

Achwas...dafür sehen die viel zu gut aus.

Absolutely true. As a painter myself, I can say that there is a lot of flat out garbage in a lot of modern art museums. Good stuff too but some of it is just a joke.

@@georgeedward1226 I went to a show once. One piece was a giant economy size box of Tide laundry detergent with a garden hose draped over it.

@@christinebravomom5711 but how did it make you feel?

Thanks GSD. Have u made any knives?

@@JackMackWoodturning no. I would like to learn, but money and time are always calling me. Maybe after I retire, who knows.

Waw.. you Sir are definitely raising the bar with that comment. I’m pretty sure, between Jack and VIVID Stripes, something can be worked out to replicate that unique piece..

how about taking the sawdust from the planer and mixing in some epoxy?

@@dksaevs that’s what I was thinking. Maybe make some globes or something.

I was thinking about the saw dust being used to fill homemade pincushions. My Dad was a woodworker up into his 90’s, and kept a box under his table saw to catch sawdust. During the summer before he passed(2017), I asked Dad for some of the sawdust to fill homemade pincushions. He said to take as much as I wanted. I ended up with 4 or 5 gallon-size ziplock bags. I want to made pincushions for the women in our family filled with sawdust from Dad’s/Grampa’s/GreatGrampa’s workshop.

@@amethystanne4586 that is so awesome! Thank you for sharing the story. Pincushions are a way better idea.

That was my thought too when he showed that

Nice one Maddy. Good weekend planned?

Thank you! B 😊 Is that you?

😊

Fortune favours the brave Maddie. Go outside and enjoy the rain. It is beautiful 😊👍🏻

I mean that’s heartbreaking and I hope you doing well, but also this doesn’t have much to do with the video, like at all…

I thought it would have been interesting to mix that confetti into some resin and lathe again...

I would have done that with solid wood but the laminations on this rainbow ply are a little sketchy.. too much force and they’ll part quite easily. You can imagine that as the rings part on the lathe they could easily go for a little bounce across the shop.. I fear they wouldn’t remain rings after that. That bandsaw and glueup was a much more gentle approach. Gentle isn’t normally my thing, but this was very delicate. 🙂

I get that. When I make a dizzy bowl, I make my own laminations but they are only about 3/16 when I cut the rings. I have an MDF disc I put in my chuck and then I hold the lamination there with a few strips of double sided tape so when I cut the rings they stay on the MDF. I cut all the rings and then take them off. Cool bowl

Coming soon buddy 👍🏻

My thought too. I can't wait to see it

Thanks A. Where are you watching from?

that was cool looking, you have a lot of skill

Thanks D. Are you an actress?

@@JackMackWoodturning No I'm a film fan and you're welcome

Thanks Sue! You having a good weekend?

@@JackMackWoodturning Yes, Thankyou, had a great weekend. Today is Monday morning 2.00am. Where are you on the timeline?

Wow, thank you R. Would you like to see it in black and white?

We made it our business to be that beautiful 😅 True story!

Thanks Linda. Do you think it would work in black and white?

Thanks buddy. What would you use it for?

Nice one D. Much appreciated. Would you have the piece in your home?

@@JackMackWoodturning Probably yeah, but it would be too expensive - being hand-made and all that. But it looks amazing!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Gallery’s mostly show work for sale. And take 49% commission on the sale price. Iv displayed work in galleries for many years and also sold a lot of work that way. These days RU-vid is my gallery and I can sell my work directly to the customer for much more reasonable prices as I don’t have to double the price. My website shop is low on stock after Xmas but will be restocked in a week or so Www.Jackmackwoodturning.Com

@@JackMackWoodturning Wow! I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that a gallery would rip an artist off like that! I understand they need to make some money also but that's crazy! Maybe with a really well-known artist it would be reasonable but not with someone starting out and trying to promote themselves. Are online art auction sites (not ebay) just as bad? I read a tip once, regarding ebay and art pieces, that you can test out what people really think of your work by setting a pretty high minimum price, not shown (I just forgot the name for that), and see if people will accept and surpass it. It's like a test to see if you're either over or under pricing your work. Anyway..... Sorry for rambling on and thank you for sharing how galleries work. I will most definitely check your website out. I wish you continued success!!

Thanks V. Very much appreciated. Good weekend planned?

Like Willy Wonkas factory?

Thanks a lot my friend. Did you like the shape?

I like Very much. So so beautiful.

Thanks sue, that’s a very kind thing to say. Glad you enjoyed watching 😊👍🏻

You don’t get to see the bits when something goes wrong and I throw a mug across the workshop 😆

@@JackMackWoodturning 😆😆😆

Thanks Dan. I’m glad you feel my videos are worth watching. It great fun to make them and even better to read these comments. Cheers buddy

@@JackMackWoodturning // Without trying to sound sappy, the pieces you turn reflect the fact that you love woodturning. It's also clear that you possess a level of experience which can be seen in your work. Some [to me], appear more elegant, some masculine, some [like your last piece], appeared cinematic/illusionary/exotic, and some are just beautiful to look at. Each style catches peoples attention and it's never the same thing. Anyway, keep experimenting, stay safe, and God bless.

I ship most of my work to the US. www.jackmackwoodturning.com 😊👍🏻😉

Do you think it was a waste of time?

Thanks M. Where are you watching from?

@@JackMackWoodturning hi, Australia ✌😊

Thanks D. What have you been creating lately?

Thanks Sam. Much appreciated. Do you have a good weekend ahead?

@@JackMackWoodturning I do! My parents have flow up for my birthday, which is a real treat. Hope you have a good weekend also 😊

@@randomsammieable happy birthday

Thanks Colin. Maybe you could make one instead? Have you tried any turning ?

@@JackMackWoodturning It's truly something I've never done before. I'd like a go, but my hands aren't strong due to chronic fatigue, but I'm sure there are ways around that. :) Thank you for your reply, hugely appreciated.

Thanks K. Would you like to see it in black and white?

Ahhh go on, give it a try 😉😉

I love rainbow 🌈 and bright colors so much. And it’s very bright and rainbow. The way it all fits together and looks trippy like it’s moving is so cool as well.

Thanks G. Are you an artist?

Thanks Jane. U da best ❤️
