Good suggestion from the person about the blue bulb. It's not just a lamp someone is paying for. It's a sculpture, a one off piece of art, beauty and craftsmanship that just so happens to be functional too. If people think a few thousand is expensive for your art, perhaps they should remind themselves that someone paid an obscene amount of money for a blue dot on a white canvas. 😉
Great point! Thank you very much!
The blue bulb is a winner. A neat project for sure. 💕
Thanks so much!
Nice work. The "bell" feature truly needs to stay. Now you have a Designer Epoxy jellyfish hovering over the coral reef. Blue bulb looks great. Thanks for posting
Thank you so much!
That is, hands down, the coolest lamp I've ever seen! Not only by using Designer Epoxy's pigments, which were perfect, but the shape you gave it, Jim, was absolutely perfect. And while I understand that you'd have to charge an exorbitant amount to make a profit on one, those who have the funds to spend on something completely and utterly unique, won't blink at the price tag. I'd say put that on your menu of available products, with plenty of time so that it's not the only thing you're working on, the appropriate price tag for a specialty item, and I'll bet someone will snatch it up. If I had the funds, heck yeah, I would!!!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
"Bell feature" was totally worth saving. And it somewhat mirrors the top shape element of the base, which ties them both together.
Thank you very much!
Definitely agree! On the bell flare and the matching. They're truly an inseparable set imo!
It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the blue light, it definitely adds the perfect amount of ambience. Absolutely love it! It’s definitely worth the money. More than I could do right now but it is definitely worth the money! The people that bought this will love it. What a beautiful piece of art.
Glad you like it! Thanks
Hi Jim. Thing is, it's more than a lamp. It is definitely a piece of artwork and could be in a museum. Don't sell yourself short!!! Just fantastic. Was fun to watch!! ❤
Thank you very much!
Oh, yes, the blue bulb makes it! Ah, I happen to do a lot of color by number art on my smart phone, and there are always a lot more bubbles than that in the aquatic scenes, so I say there's nothing to worry about with that. More bubbles might have been a plus in fact, going by that. Stunningly gorgeous work of art, as always!😊
I couldn't hardly wait till today cause i was befuddled on how you was gonna make a lamp shade. Was it gonna be fsbric or resin.i just couldn't see you sewing a lanp shade,not that you could not run a sewing machine but i just dont think that is your main intrest. I can see why this shade is stunning. Beautiful work. Worth the wait.🎉🎉🎉
I made an Hawaiian shirt in Home Ed, lol. Thanks
Jim, although you say that next week will be out of this world, this finished lamp has already achieved that. The use of the glow in the dark coloring and the mix which was achieved within the shade has created an underworld deep horizons effect. I must applaud your skills and the work which went into this lamp was commendable. I was glad you left the air bubbles in the shade they bring a diving dimension to the top of the bell dome. == just thinking of GI Joe under the dome swimming up to the surface == 🤿
Thank you very much!
You have to charge that much Jim, it's a one of a kind and can't be mass produced. The lamp turned out beautiful, I'm impressed.
Thank you so much!
Hey Jim! Where's Nemo!?!?😂😂😂 Fabulous!
Thanks again!
Stunningly gorgeous! The bell shape is reminiscent of jelly fish in motion. Phenomenal!!
Yes! Thank you!
Designer Epoxy, love how the Blue LED light really gave it a shine.
Me too! Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy also the thumb nail didn't do it justice! That is WOW just WOW!
Love this lamp. ❤.
Jim, This 2 part series was wonderful!!! I can't imagine what You would do, but I would watch ANY series that You did!! You are so very imaginative and don't seem afraid to try anything. I personally find that refreshing. I love the bell shap, it is certainly evocative of a jelly fish. I look forward to another trip to outer space. I am also praying that you have good luck selling your house, but I dread the waiting time till You get settled and start creating your art again! I am addicted to your channel.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Being that it's an ocean theme, I Like the Bubbles.❤ It adds to it overall😅
I think so too, thanks!
I like the way the lamp shows off different colors. Your workmanship and talent brings out the beauty in the piece.
Thank you very much!
Jim I think this is work of art has become my favorite. You answered my questions about resin, without me needing to ask. Thank you
Glad to help! Thanks so much!
Nugget from the Sprague Vault of Wisdom: Shiny Sells! Words to live by!! You know that you're in the creative "zone" when even the hot melt glue takes on the aquatic theme! Beautiful work, Jim. Tiffany would be jealous!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Woah, Jim! How on Earth do you surpass yourself every time you post? This has been my favourite project of yours, ever. Not least because I was one of the people who asked for a lamp weeks ago 😂. Bravo!
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. This is a gorgeous lamp. The blue bulb is the choice here. Most excellent. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Now that is a BEAUTY! And the blue bulb brings everything together quite stunningly. 😎
Thank you kindly!
Wow what a beautiful piece. Whoda thunk a lamp shade that big would be made out of designer epoxy resin. I really like the bell shape, it reminds me of the old school bells at the checkin of a hotel lobby or the ones on old bicycles. Very very cool.
we had to put down one of are cats today..Purdy she was a wonderful cat three legs but got around great but kidney's were failing couldn't let her suffer anymore I hope God has a place for are animals they deserve a place just like us all maybe even more! GOD Bless Jim beautiful Lamp!!...Larry
Sorry to hear that and of course God does...Isaiah 11:6-9 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Revelation 5:13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Sorry about your cat! Thanks
Jim, you’re a genius! I had no idea a shade made out of wood and epoxy was possible. I figured it would be too heavy. To me, this is a real masterpiece. I love how you experiment with epoxy. It’s amazing what you can do with it. Adds a whole new dimension to what is already a fantastic piece of art.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship Jim! As usual! 👏
Thank you very much!
So glad the tip on the blue LED worked out! (That was me. C/o mostly my years of working with reef aquariums.) Definitely looks even more awesome with the blue bulb! It brings out that real depth in the layers. GORGEOUS lamp! Cheers!
I’ve got a black light now and will take a photo and post it in the community tab later this week. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@SpragueWoodturning The thing with blacklight that I'd be concerned about is the UV, but not all blacklight bulbs actually give off UV but still get that glow, which makes sense (but is beyond my understanding, or at least recollection). Cos UV rays of course damage our tissue (especially skin & eyes, dangerously so with UV from fluorescent & halogen bulbs) and also anything exposed for a while, like the resin of the lamp. That's definitely a factor in the eventual yellowing, crazing, & cracking. IF the bulb doesn't give off any UV (as, again, some "blacklight" bulbs don't) then no problem, but do note. Blue light, however, doesn't give off UV, so there's that. Also, true blue LEDs work better for the glow, ime, and also vs a blue cap over a white LED like the bulb you showed, which still gave great results so imagine! You can easily get one of those bulb retrofits that have a regular e27 screw-in but have several LEDs in blue and in cool white, the blue for that glow & the white for normal light. Usually sold as a grow light bulb or aquarium bulb. All this, feel free to take what I've said here & ask others, like if you have or use Discord, or any board (Reddit or something) that does aquariums or indoor plants would know, probably resin folks ought to have found this, though surprisingly I (personally, anyway) haven't seen it utilised in this way, to make stuff glow. Sorry that was long, but hopefully it might be useful, or point you in a good direction for this &/or future projects, to get that extra pop & take full advantage of that glow quality. Cos really, just a couple of blue LEDs can make the glow stuff GLOW full-bore without having to be dark (though it's more pronounced the less bright a room) and that can really make someone think twice about "glow in the _dark"_ parts. Final tip, technical info: in aquarium use, especially reef/saltwater tanks, the specific blue light used is called "actinic blue" (said like "uh'TINNic" or "ah"... not quite "æ" like "cat") and is 420nm to 460nm wavelength. (And inb4 "true" actinic, cos it matters not for this application.) This is different from the "blue" 20,000°K (as in Kelvin, colour temperature used for mostly full spectrum bulbs & their appearance, not the nm wavelengths of coloured LEDs), also known incorrectly as "20K" (would be "20k°K" or at least "20kK") ... Just ignore that stuff, mostly for halide/vapour bulbs & for full grow lamps with full-spectrum mimicry. Sorry, I never learned to be concise! :x
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens have a look under the community tab and tell me what you think. Yellowing could be a problem over time with the black light. Thanks again for the info!
Designer Epoxy. Yeah, that blue LED was ALOT better. That is not just a lamp it is a VERY beautiful piece of art. People have to realize that is what they are buying not a several thousand dollar lamp, but a piece of art that happens to light up. Wonderful piece and again AWESOME work.
Thank you very much!
The shade looked like a jelly fish in the dark. That is awesome
Thanks so much!
The shade looks like a jellyfish floating past. Always impressed!
Thanks so much!
Designer Epoxy. Jim, just beginning to cast bowls with epoxy. Called Designer Epoxy and spoke with Gabriel. What an amazing guy. Very helpful. Great product that you endorse. Will definitely use him exclusively!
Sounds great! Thank you very much!
O my, Jim. Who thought the bowl would give you such beautiful, um, drips? That’s so festive!
Thanks so much!
We REALLY appreciate your reviews as you go. We have wood pieces that haven’t sold. Now we are going to add shine and see if that gives them the edge to sell. Thank you!!! Also, thank you for your feedback of cost for a mostly epoxy piece verses the chances of finding a buyer with really deep pockets. We are finding that most people don’t know what they are looking at and have no clue about the cost of materials, time and artistry needed to make it. They just want it for $5 or less. Great job!!!! Designer epoxy.
Yes, most people have no idea how much labour is involved in a piece like this. Shinny sale will be great, thanks!
The shade looks like a jellyfish! You said 'open the light' I never heard anyone use that expression outside where I grew up on Long Island, NY. ❤❤ Designer Epoxy
Ha ha! Maybe it’s an East Coast saying! Thanks
Just about dropped my phone when I saw the thumbnail for this video. Got my popcorn ready, jammies on, ready to check this out! 🎉🎉
Hope you enjoy, thanks!
This lamp looks spectacular! The shade makes me think of a jellyfish bell, and with the coral reef base, it's just plain gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Love the look with the blue bulb. The UV glow in the dark is so pretty and the marbling effect of the different colors of resin too. I do wish there was more of the burl in it just because I love the look of it in the lamp itself. Overall this will be a great signature piece with its sister bowl. Would be neat to see them together.
I will see if the owner will send me a photo and share it on the community tab at a later date. Thanks
I love that u saved the bell feature. The glow in the dark sets it to a different level/category Next u need to do a glow in the dark hypershift. Designer Epoxy
That would be cool! Thanks!
WOW!!! That was quite the project Jim. Really love the bell shape and the blue light. Once again super impressive project. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful lamp, I agree, the blue led bulb is perfect, Jim I believe this is your best project to date, I love it.
Thank you very much!
I am also on Team Blue Bulb and Team Bell! That turned out absolutely amazing! I think the "reef" look isn't as striking in the shade as it is in the base due to the small amount of wood, but it makes sense that you couldn't use much due to the small amount of the burl you had to work with. It wouldn't have made sense to leave the wood out either, because it ties the top and the bottom together. In the end you definitely made the right choice. The new owner will LOVE it!
Awesome! Thank you!
This was amazing, a gorgeous & magnificent piece of art ! I was so impressed that if I wasn’t on a disability pension; I’d definitely commission you to do a reef lamp.
Thanks so much!
The lamp is very unique. I didn’t get to watch this last Friday. I was in Niagara Falls for the eclipse. Great job. Designer Epoxy.
Awesome! Thank you!
The blue light works best, in my opinion. You did a great job. I didn’t think I’d like it. But you did it. Work of art.
Thank you so much!
Prep work takes a lot more time than the finish work. I really like the blue light in the lamp!!!❤🎉
Yes it does! Thanks!
OMG! What a GORGEOUS LAMP!!!! Lots and lots of work, but the customer who got this fantastic lamp really has a work of art! Love love love it, Jim ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I’m only a little more than halfway in and I can already tell that is a diamond in the rough. It is going to be stunning. I already love it and you’re still spinning it. Can’t wait to see the end piece .
Thank you very much!
That is such a beautiful set. And the lamp shade kind of looks like a jellyfish.
🤩 Jim, wow! Amazing lamp. The blue light is the winner.
Thanks so much!
I like it with the little bell feature. I agree that it would be tough to get your money back. Maybe just make a base and sell as is or with a store-bought shade. Very cool. would love to see an all-wood project in the future, however I pretty much enjoy all you projects. Thanks. Designer Epoxy
Thanks so much!
11:42 You took the words right out of my mouth. I love purples and blues 😊😊🥰🥰 We just had an inch or so of snow in Western Massachusetts this past Wednesday and.... I already had Daffodils up and blooming. So far, they're still alive by some miracle. 💜💜💜 27:00 The inside color looks so pretty 💜💞 36:25 Wow, love the color blending 💜💜
Thank you very much 🥶🥶
Glad this already has a home. Really fun piece. I can understand why a turner would not want to regularly make these due to costs involved.
Thanks so much!
I absolutely love every part of the lamp. Thanks for sharing your talents with us KZhead watchers. Even though I don’t do any wood turning myself. I do enjoy watching many different forms of Art Work. Which in my eyes that’s exactly what this is. I’ll be sending prayers up to heaven for you & your Wife. I hope y’all are able to sell your house for what you are hoping to get out of it.god bless you both & wishing y’all a wonderful weekend. From SE Louisiana, 🇺🇸🙏💗
Thanks so very much! Much appreciated!
Another great colour combo! What an amazing and functional work of art. All the best with the house - we’re rooting for you. And yeah, the cat hair struggle is real! Love this channel, thanks again. 🇬🇧
Thank you! Cheers!
Designer epoxy yes jim I agree not many people will pay for time/materials nor do they appreciate the effort and skills involved. Here in the lower 48 people are cheap! Thanks for the content 😊
At least 95% of my sales go to the US, lol. Thanks
I would be open to watching you make more lamps or even just ceiling lamps shades. Oh! And maybe a night light. 🌙 😊 Great job, as always 👏 👍 ❤
Noted! Thanks so much!
That's your jelly fish!! You had an earlier piece, that you said looked like a jelly fish. This absolutely does! Great job! In regard to "shiny sells," in dental school, we joked about our gold crowns, and bridges, "if you can't make it right, make it bright!" LOL!! Wonderful! Designer Epoxy.
Well said, lol. Thanks
I love that glow in the dark. The blue UV light really makes stand out. Designer Epoxy.
Thanks so much!
Designer Epoxy. The bell / lip looks appropriate… in fact, I think the shade would look a little weird without it.
Thank you very much!
Stunning colors, maybe a clear led bulb at 20 would show the colors in the shade more. Love it as usual.
Yes, the 60 is too bright. Thanks
A beautiful creation Jim! The reef motif is swimming!! Have great weekend Brother.🍻
Thanks, you too!
Wow, that is spectacular! Both pieces work very well together. A lamp to be enjoyed for many years. Well done Jim! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow. Totally awesome piece Jim. I liked the shape you have. The lamp and shade go well together. This is what i love about turning and project like this. There will never be another piece like it. It is unique. You should be totally stoked with the way it turned out. As always thanks for sharing your skills and ideas with us. It is much appreciated. Cheers Bruce
Cool, thanks!
Hi Jim, it's a beautiful lamp. Very relaxing light. The person will love it. The glow in the dark is a great idea. It has 3 looks in one. I love it. Have a great weekend. Take care.
Thank you very much!
It’s an amazing thing to watch your creativity grow with each piece of art you create. Always look forward to Friday to see what you come up with next.
Thank you so much!
I particularly like it without the light on and just “glowing in the dark”. The bell in the shade reflected the ridges you gave the base. It really is a stunning piece - great artistic achievement ❤
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Jim, I'm running out of superlatives! I hope the owner loves this as much as I do. It is just drop dead gorgeous. It really does look like an underwater grotto. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
I like the glow in the dark aspect. Over all Jim, I think you did a good job ❤😊
Thanks so much!
Another wow project. You have surpassed yourself again .
Thank you very much!
Magic mushroom lamp!!!! It’s looks great Jim great job! The lip gave it more mushroomyness
Yes! Thank you!
This is a great looking project! The shade goes with the base so well. I'm glad you had enough burl in the shade to reflect the "coral" of the base, even if it was not as much as you (or I) originally hoped. Also truly amazing how much the blue light makes a difference to the overall look, that addition definitely a winner. Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much!
Very unique. The shade reminds me of a jellyfish, which goes right along with the theme.
Thanks so much!
Jim, this is a phenomenal piece. I agree that the "bell" rim adds character. The colors and glow-in-the-dark epoxy are fantastic. Superb workmanship. I'm sure the new owner will love it.
Many thanks!
You are right when you say there is no way to truly get what A piece may be worth in labour. Ultimately you get what someone values your work at. That being said, depends on the target audience. Believe me, I have had a number of “You are a thief, I would never pay that”. My response: “You don’t have to”. 😂Designer Epoxy
Lol, thank you very much!
The blue light looks great in it. I do like the semi clear shade, but needs a bit more blue resin in it for a more watery look. Great shape for the lamp shade. It will definitely be a focal piece in the owner's home.
Thank you very much!
This piece is fantastic!!! How cool! 🥰🤗 I think it’s time for a new jewelry box project, with a hinged lid. 🤗
Thank you again!
A very stunning piece of art and craftsmanship Jim. The bell shape and bubbles fit with oceanic theme for sure.💙❤💜
Thanks so much!
I was a bit surprised with the final shape. I imagined that you would create something like a bucket shape with wire holding the top. This was a much better approach, great work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
If I were a Rich man I fill my home with this lamp and more because of the originally of it. Well done, Sir.❤
So nice of you, thanks!
Jim, the fact you had to go back to fix the top (in my opinion), was a happy accident for this lamp shade. I think all the extra you had to go back to do at the top, reshaped the top to make it less dome like and more lampshade like. I quite like it, very cool! Love to see a Tiffany inspire lamp shade with wood & stain glass like panels. And the blue light bulb made it perfect! Great video! 🖖🏽 Designer Epoxy ✨
A Tiffany lamp would be cool, you never know, you just might see it here. Thank you very much!
Love how the shade turned out. Blue light looks best (in my opinion). Beautiful lamp Jim!
Thank you very much!
You say Bell, I say jellyfish! I really love the blue light in it, you achieved your oceanic vision, Jim! $2-3k for a lamp is a bit out of my price range, but I'm sure others will given that it's custom! I mean, shoot, if they'd do it for a bowl set, why not a lap? Beautiful and fun piece! I love the glow in the dark pigments from Designer Epoxy, it makes it look like a lava lamp with the lights off!
Thank you very much!
Really cool shade. The colors are great, it's Just the right size. It glows well, and yes the blue bulb looks best. Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thank you so much!
Oh so pretty. Love all the Designer Epoxy colors and especially the glow in the dark. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving me inspiration
You are so welcome! Thanks
Shade turned out just the way I thought you would do it, turned out great Jim... Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
I need this lamp in my life. Too rich for my blood but want it anyway. So very pretty.
Thanks so much!
Oh wow the blue light really brings the whole thing together!
It really does, thanks!
Loving the blue LED light but the lamp is awesome either way!! Always fun to watch these videos. Thanks for creating these treasures!! 🤩🤩🤩 Designer epoxy 😁
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
Looks great. The blue led light makes it look better. The shade would also make cool looking bowl for parties.
Thanks so much!
Dude, that lamp is over the top! You have gotten so good at this. If only you had started in your 20s lol! Cave structures last week and now UV lamps worth $2500.00. Not to mention space pieces. I think you have been holding out on us for some time now!! 💯💯💯
Thanks so much! Yes, wish I started my Channel sooner!
Love the bell shape. It also gives an option if someone wanted ro affix a hippie? bead chain or any number of accents . Glad it didnt crack!!
Me too, lol. Thanks
That lamp is freaking cool. I love your ocean themed pieces.
Thanks so much!
Amazing finish on this. The designer epoxy looks so clear so it lets plenty of light into the room. Great job.
Thank you!
I didn't think I would like it but I do!! I'm very glad you didn't use any Hyper Shift. Could have used more wood, but at least you got some in there! Overall the shade is very nice, and the lamp is stunning. Designer Epoxy.
Thanks so much!
Wonderful looking lamp, such a great idea and the glow in the dark is a bonus.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like the lamp Jim. I can see you making all kinds of them for the ocean fishermen. The colours came out good. I can imagine the time that went into figuring out how to do the shade. When you were notching the top, I was hoping that you would not lose the vacuum. The owner is going to have quite the story to tell when the friends come over. Take care and as always, stay safe.
Yes, the powers been sketchy lately so I was nervous, lol. Thanks!
This doesn't happen often. Just speechless!😶
Thank you very much!
Awesomeness! You are really pushing the envelope with Designer Epoxy, again awesome work!
Thank you! Cheers!
This turned out so beautifully Jim. It really is a piece of art. A black light would most likely do the trick for the glow. When you said we’d be going back to space next week I got so excited and there was an audible Yay! that came from my smiling face. Can’t wait!
Thank you very much!
The switch was meant for a 3way bulb and an incandescent bulb. The LED bulbs run at a different frequency that your eyes can see where incandescent run a full spectrum which is why they burn more power. I don't believe they make an LED tri-liggt for that switch, but if it's by a window, it should recieve enough natural light to glow. A great video as always Jim, looking forward to the next one. #thebucketstruggleisreal
Yes, I also posted a picture on the community tab showing it with a black light. It’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Im not sure I had a lampshade shape or design in mind when you first started the whole lamp project. This week proved interesting and I love the complete project! I love the bell shape, that bottom lip design was perfect!! Its a beautiful lamp, Jim! Thank you. ❤
Oh wow! Thank you very much!
