Thank you for allowing me to use your work as inspiration for mine!
I spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and to raising money for ArtGivingHope.org.
All of my pieces are sold or auctioned at ArtGivingHope.org and 100% of all earnings are used to fund the fight against diabetes that causes a large number of amputations, kidney failure and death in the Polynesions Islands of Tonga, Samoa and Fiji etc. As a foot and ankle surgeon, who has specialized in diabetic limb saving techniques, I am committed to aiding the Polynesian people who are in serious need. Starting in Jan, 2024 I will help fund and participate in medical/surgical missions to Tonga, Samoa and other countries, partnering with HopeForDiabetes.org. This organization is able to stretch every $1,000 donated into $10,000 worth of value in life and limb savings surgeries, wound care and preventative training for local doctors, nurses and community.

-Angle Grinder: (amzn.to/36lgewG), one of my most indispensable tools, (amzn.to/3iXtNHW) this one has a flat head, helps get into tight spaces, carving and sanding disks are a life saver.
- Grinder Carving Disk: (amzn.to/39oWqKG), this is a really great disk for roughing out medium sized projects
- Grinder Sanding Disks: (amzn.to/3cj91Rv), fantastic for sanding and minor-moderate shaping stages
- Round Sanding System: (amzn.to/3r11N8Q) sleeves go around an inflatable ball (amzn.to/2KVCUvW )or make your own foam ball, attaches to a drill, great for tight corners.
- Palm Sander: (amzn.to/3r1mJg8), I like the size of the sand paper for both this and on the lathe by hand.
- Chain Saw: (amzn.to/2MbWNj2), trusty gas type, I also bought this electric one (amzn.to/3qZOqpp) for the in the garage projects
- Super Glue: (amzn.to/3pFg5vT) thin and runny, perfect for stabilizing bark or other unstable wood.

April 8th 2024. You are One of Two great artists on KZhead. My wife passed away last month and you Two have healed me together. A thought just Occurred to me. Cam over at Black Tail studio could use some of your projects as a table base. You both do Charity work , and may raise a great deal of money. Best of luck L.G. Art from FL.

Gracias!
Thank you, amazing work as usual!
Thank you very much! www.artgivinghope.org/our/art-listed-by-artist/dan-preece
Thank you for introducing me to Jennifer 's work! She's amazing! you mad genius! And what a wonderful new direction for the dharity.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻charity. It would be great if you could vlog on one of your missions.
That is definitely in my plans! Thank you so much! Artgivinghope.org
this piece looks great. i think it does resemble feathers more than fire. it sort of looks like the way a bird's wings and tail feathers look when it starts a backwards dive where the body is one the bottom and the wings and tail feathers all reach upwards. I think it is great that you are helping different charities with their work, both through your art and your work.
Thank you very much! www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
Beautiful piece and work Dan. So artistic. I’m looking forward to doing a couple pieces for Art Giving Hope this year.
Thank you so much Doug! Artgivinghope.org
As usual amazing work. One thing ---as a non wood working person LOL--- is that on others channels I noticed several artists when using an epoxy coat for finishing that they utilize a silicone bristle brush and it seems to get great coverage. Thanks for sharing your new direction and glad to still follow your work 💞
Thank you for the feedback! Artgivinghope.org
I watch hours and just beautiful 😂
Thank you very much! www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
beautiful!!

Hi 👋 Dan , that is a great looking piece of Art, I am hoping to get some resin soon to have a go, I have just installed a log burner in my basement, hopefully it will work and put out some good heat, as it as been very cold here, ish , -5 , Look forward to seeing your next project, stay safe, Phil from the moulin. France
Thank you! Good luck with your project. Artgivinghope.org
Stunningly beautiful
Wow, thank you! www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
Dan, I've been following your channel for a few months now. Ran across one of your videos and was impressed with your work. As i watched more and more of your videos and learned your background i was even more impressed. This new organization you are getting involved with touched my heart tonight as i watched you work on your newest creation and explained what the proceeds would go to. You see, this past July 11, after a 14 month battle with infection i lost my rt leg above the knee. Mine was mostly due to a past trauma to the leg but being type 2 diabetic didn't help either. With all of that being said, i am a fellow woodworker. I do a lot of flatwork but my passion is creating things on my lathe. I've just started experimenting with wood/resin hybrid work and I'm beyond amazed what a great median for creativity it is. With all of rhis being said i would love to be able to donate an occasional piece to your organization to help support the fight against diabetes and limb loss. Be looking for a package from me sometime in the near future and keep up the beautiful work! Ron Fowler Fowler Woodwerx

Dan. Did you change the channel name or add another? I love your work and a swore I heard you on an interview with Mike Rowe not long ago.
I've changed the channel name a bit... but this is my only KZhead channel... www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
Dan, you do such beautiful work. On your new adventure, you might reach out to a dear friend of mind, Dr. Allan T. Sawyer MD who has retied from private practice and travels to small country's fixing broken folks and has done this for years and might help you with tips. Please send me someway to be able to give you Allan contact info.
Thank you! www.artgivinghope.org/currentauctions
more help would be preventing diabetes rather than chasing the damage it causes to the body. I expect that the diabetes problem in this society started when they were introduced to the western culture diet - SAD = standard american diet. educate and promote a healthy diet from youth up and the problem may deminish or go away.
Yup. That's our goal as well... Artgivinghope.org
