I really appreciate the voice over as it makes it easier to hear you and follow what is going on.
Thanks so much!
Words can’t describe how beautiful this is. The change you made in the foot just put it at a whole new level of elegance. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you so much!
This is absolutely breathtaking
My word Jim. I just never have the ability to adequately express the beauty of your work.
Exactly
I’m running out of adequate adjectives myself.. the man and his work is beyond comparison..
@@amandakelley8314 A dear friend of mine has the same name and spelling as yours. I live in Cordova TN
@@susaneverett3357 middle name.. Deloris.. lol
@@susaneverett3357 love it.. however this page is Jim’s and his and his works alone… lol
Hi Jim, this project is a museum piece. I am so happy that you introduced me to Designer Epoxy, it is a very high quality Epoxy
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
An absolutely lovely vase. The burl and hypershifted laguna blue work extremely well together. Definitely one of your prettier pieces.
Thanks so much!
Love the cherry with that shade of blue.
Thank you so much!!
Oh gosh, there's nothing about this piece that I don't like--the clean, classic lines are elegant, the oceanic blue with the flashes of hypershift and the lovely cherry burl! Well done, Jim, well done! Designer Epoxy
Thanks so much!
I am impressed with every single piece you do, Jim. I like most of the pieces that you do. Some of your projects I really really love. And THEN there are the ones that I am absolutely so head-over heels GAGA for that they make me want to find a magic money tree, grab handfuls of cash, shove them all in a bag, run to your shop all the way from Utah, grab the piece, hand you the bag, and RUN!! This is one of them!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 It makes me think of a peacock feather. It is DIVINE!!!! I worked for a monument company for years and we stocked polished granite vases for our clients. I loved the graceful shape of the smallest ones we carried and even designed a few to have custom-made by our vendors. They were shaped very much like this vase. This brought back some pleasant memories of working with beautiful stone. Wow. Wow. And Wow!
Wow! Thanks so much!
The song "Islands in the stream" kept popping into my mind. It's lovely, the colours are so pretty. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Stunningly beautiful vase love the way the hypershift looks like swirling clouds
Thanks so much 😊
The blue seems to shows the hypershift better than other colors. Super!
With the "bird's eye" on the right side, it looks like a winking bird. LOVE it. Really like the hyper shift in the Designer Epoxy.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just breathtaking Jim. That hypershift is really singing in this one. Great work as always. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your world with us every week.❤
Thanks for watching every week! Much appreciated!
One of my all time favorites ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
That vase is fantastic! Just looks like the World!
It does! Thank you so much!!
I really appreciate your voiceover because it is so educational. It makes me want to find a workshop space where I can go and learn to do wood turning.
Go for it! Thank you very much!
WOW. AWESOME You took a piece of wood that most people would have thrown into the fire pit and made an awesome piece of art.. 👍👍
Thanks so much!
Absolutely top 5! Designer Epoxy rocks.
It does! Thank you! Cheers!
I agree top 5 of the vase category, great shape and the added foot detail 👍👍 More please ❤
You got it! Thanks
13:50 I love hearing your thought process - particularly: "What am I gonna do?" "I DON'T KNOW!!!" And then you make the right call! You really got it right this time!! You made another right decision with the foot - it was too wide originally and the "bead" made it perfect!!
Thank you very much!
My mom recently passed and this piece is honestly the most beautiful and *her* style of thing. We both really enjoyed that accidental color pooling that looks like island chains in a beautiful blue ocean (I crocheted a blanket for her with that basis). Just absolutely stunning piece! And designer epoxy and their hyper shift pigments make it even more amazing
Sorry to hear that! Happy you enjoyed this one!
Absolutely beautiful. I love this, especially that blue with that cherry burl.. I agree, Top 5 for sure! Thanks Jim!!
Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful and beautiful
Thank you very much sis!
I am so happy you saw the problem with the foot and refined it. More elegent and clean. Turned out great.
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely stunning and now I have the urge to go watch a documentary on the Caribbean.
😂 Thanks so much!
Love love love this one Jim . It's awesome. The foot adjustment really worked. 🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
Islands in the stream. Love the colors
Almost called it that! 😂. Thanks
Your observation that there's a lot going on in today's piece is a serious understatement! The combination of the cherry burl and the blue laguna/hyper-shift resin is breathtaking! Kudos to you for another gorgeous work of art!
Thank you! Cheers!
You are the Michelangelo of wood & resin! Designer Epoxy
Wow, thank you!
A very beautiful vase❤️🇨🇦🐕
Thank you so much!
Seriously though, this is beautiful. Never second-guess yourself. ...and if anyone complains about the voice-over, KZhead offers a "mute" option.
So true! Thanks so much!
I really love how the hypershift gives the impression of waves swirling around and past the islands of wood. Beautiful, Jim.
Many thanks!
Not sure how you come up with ideas but you always seem to have them and we enjoy watching them come to life.
Thank you very much!
I've been to Australia 3 times. It's beautiful and all of the people I met were extremely kind. It was a real blessing to visit, and I hope to call it HOME before I die.
It’s on your bucket list. Thanks
Agree with you that the foot is better now. This piece is absolutely stunning. Designer epoxy does a great job.
I totally agree! Thank you very much!
It's Gorgeous Jim. LOL every time you drag out some scrappy looking "junk" it turns out the best ever. Congrats man.
Thanks 👍
Jim, Fantastic change from firewood reject to a beautiful resin/burl vase. Your channel is the weekly highlight of my KZhead experience. Thank you. Take care.
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely LOVE this piece. Your instincts about the foot are 100000000% spot on. SUCH an elegant piece. Downright SUMPTUOUS. BRAVO.
Thank you very much!
The thumbnail doesn't do it justice!! Beautiful! Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
I absolutely love everything about this piece. From the color of the wood, epoxy & the over all shape. It’s simply stunning!😍 Jim, you had and achieved an idea in your mind how you wanted this piece to look & by God you did it. Wishing you & your wife a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much! Same to you!
This is GORGEOUS!!! The hypershift makes it look like waves in the ocean, and crashing against the shores of all the islands...definitely one of your best!
Glad you like it! Thanks
Designer Epoxy Edit: That blue and hypershift is just great.
Indeed it is! Thank you very much!
Such a beautiful vase Jim! It looks exactly like what an Astronaut would see looking at the Earth from space…the swirling is awesome. 💙✨ Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Wow, almost looks a satellite view of the ocean, like you said. Very beautiful Jim!!!
Thanks so much!
Well, you can’t win them all, but you’re sure making a real good attempt! Another one knocked out of the park! Like a lot of others here I agree that the little adjustment on the foot improved it immensely, and the final piece is simply stunning. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
The things you are able to do with designer epoxy is something else.
Thank you very much!
A small hook on the underside of the tool rest at the end well away from the center of the lathe might be a simple way to keep the cord for your LED light safe in your hollowing setup. Gorgeous vase and concept, love the colors and the shape, and the way the burl comes out looking like islands in the sea is just spectacular. I love how the movement of the epoxy adds an ocean current effect, too. As so many others have said, the change to the foot really ramps up the style of the finished piece! I truly appreciate your voice overs and the useful information you impart throughout your videos, keep up the great mentoring!
Thank you very much!
LOVE the detail for the foot. I would actually like to see more of that. It gives you move opportunity for variation with your hollow forms and vases. There's one way to avoid Jim v. bucket by making the tube of shelf liner. I did want to see exactly how you managed to get that into the bucket! Great idea to put the masking tape on the the piece to avoid the heating of the epoxy during hollowing. Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much!
Designer Epoxy. Great looking take on a global map vase.
Thank you! Cheers!
DESIGNER EPOXY I didn't think I was going to like this piece, but I was wrong. All the different "land masses" are so interesting. And I HAVE to get some hyper shift. Love it!!!
Thank you very much!
The thing I like about the voice over is that it shows the artistic process. I also understand the statement how you never know the orientation of the piece until you get some cuts in and see how it is going to work out.
Thank you so much!!
There's a lot going on in this piece... You're not kidding. It's really neat. The burl really has a lot of cool aspects that you set off with the resin is pretty great.
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy - Wow! love this piece. I love how you can see negative spaces in a piece of wood and manifest something like this. I am wild about the shimmer! I am a big fan!
Thank you so much! Much appreciated!
In regards to the voice-over, I absolutely love it. I have watched other turners and just can't get into them. You add the personal touch, Jim. Also, a teaching touch. I am a home remodeller. I deal mainly with pine and oak. On your channel, you identify the wood, the epoxy, the tools, even your thought processes. I believe your method is by far the best. Thank you, Jim, writing from Chesapeake Virginia
Thanks so much!
Beautiful!! You have inspired my husband and I to try to start turning wood first and then maybe….branch out. Someone recently gifted us a lathe! So excited!! Designer Epoxy! Jim we love that you narrate your videos. We feel like we really learn so much from your videos!
That is awesome! Thank you very much!
Love the combo of Designer Epoxy and Cherry burl. Good decision in the foot. Looks great.
Thank you so much!
OMG Jim! The designer epoxy and hyper shift with the cherry Burl leaves me speechless . This is definitely one of your best outcomes by far. Love watching what you're going to create next!
Thank you very much!
Just watched this one again...the hypershift is amazing on this one...the effect of waves crashing against all the islands is gorgeous!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you very much!
I can't, for the life of me, figure out why I suddenly want to go swimming so much... 🤔 But honestly, that is a really beautiful vase. Thank you for the video. 😊
Actually, someone mentioned using hot glue, I think that’s a great idea. Possibly sandwich it between some gorilla tape. Thanks
You know I adore anything with islands in a sea of resin! Simply beautiful 😍
I just had a thought: some of those "islands in an ocean" pieces could be used for creating fantasy worlds when you're writing
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Alright. For the first time I’m going to watch this live. Going to be fun I think.
Hope you liked it! Thanks
The way the hypershift glows through the burl is amazing. Designer Epoxy
Totally agree! Thank you very much!
If your piece of wood had been fatter you could have made a gorgeous planet style hollow form. It's a beautiful vase!!!!!
Yes, it’s on my to do list! Thanks
That Hyper shift is amazing in the blue laguna and the cherry burl is fantastic and yes that island is awesome to. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and week be blessed until the next one God Bless
Thank you! You too!
One word-- BEAUTIFUL!!! I love when you work with cherry burl.
Thank you so much!
Rap your light cord with hot glue to keep it away from your turning. Another beautiful piece as always. Love the profile and color of the resin. The cherry burl is stunning. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. And good luck on selling your house, can't wait to see the new shop come alive. 🌿 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 out of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for the tip! And thanks, looking forward to more space in the new shop.
Blue is my favorite and the hypershift moves it to a wonderous level. Designer apoxy.
Thank you very much!
Another home run, Jim. And I absolutely love the change you made to the bottom of the piece!!! Can't wait until next week... Thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
I think your ocean/land pieces are my ultimate favourites. Beautiful. Designer Epoxy.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely beautiful looking vase. You definitely made the right decision on changing the profile of the foot. Thanks for sharing Jim, and take care 😊.
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Good morning, another excellent piece, the blue hyper shift is absolutely amazing. It brings the natural grain of the wood out and is a spectacular piece because of it. Once again, you are an amazing craftsman. What a great idea. Thank you for all your hard work I know that I myself and those that are watching you appreciate it. I hope that you have a great weekend And a great week coming up and I look forward to the next project Designer
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Great shape and flow of this piece. Designer Epoxy and Jim’s expertise for another win.
Thank you very much!
I thought of islands in the ocean just seconds before you said it! I truly do love them all, Jim. Thank you.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
The cherry burl and the Designer Epoxy both look great in this piece!
I think so too! Thanks!
Good call on the foot Jim! Another stunner! Designer Epoxy for the win again!!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful blue and HyperShift. You are right about being in top 5. For me it's #1 the blue is my favorite color. Excellent job.
Thank you so much!
Awesome Vase. Yes it makes the top 5. Love the color with the Hypershift. Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thank you! Cheers!
I hope the other pieces of Cherry burl make it to the channel. This one looks great. Designer Epoxy!
They certainly will, thanks
Blue is my favorite colour, so I love anything made with blue. Gorgeous piece! ❤
Same here! Thanks
This one moved up to my top 5 faves, Jim! She's gorgeous! The Blue Laguna with the Hypershift from Designer Epoxy made me melt (LOL, you already know my favourite colour is blue!), but paired with cherry burl ... oh, wow! Stunning! I gotta say, though, I preferred the first foot and was kinda sad you whittled it down, but she's still an absolutely gorgeous piece! I had Kenny and Dolly singing in my head, watching you create this!
Awesome! Thank you! Ha ha! Islands in the stream…now it’s in my head! 🤣
The Designer Epoxy is outstanding in this piece Jim. You truly inspire me.
Great to hear! Thank you so much!!
What an absolute beautiful piece. I tell you, Jim, you never fail to disappoint. Here's to another successful turn. I love the content, your personality, and your delivery. This is my absolute favorite channel. I have learned so much and greatly appreciate the voice-overs. As always, thank you. Signed, a fan, a friend, and a self-proclaimed apprentice 😌❤🙏🏾
Wow! Thank you very much! Much appreciated!
Designer epoxy Jim this piece is so cool, especially with the hypershift. There’s all kinds things going on with this vase. I believe you’ve hit another one out with this one.
Cool, thanks!
12:35 - 14:00: really love the archipelagos going on! However, archipelago with the “inland sea” at 37:08 and is awesome! Nice piece Jim! 👏
Thanks so much!
My newest favorite shape! Look at her SHINE! what a beauty! Per usual!
Thanks so much!
Wow Jim fantastic!! For me it's a tie for #1 with ocean caves. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow, thanks!
Another great piece Jim. Good luck with the home sale. Thanks again for doing the Designer Epoxy giveaways. Stay well.
Thanks, you too!
Designer Epoxy ❤ Absolutely in the top 5 Jim ❤️!! I absolutely love how the hyper shift makes this piece come to life ❤❤!!
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy that Laguna blue with hyper shift and that cherry is gorgeous. I think this is my favorite piece.
Thanks so much!
That burl and blue with the hypershift, WOW WOW WOW love it
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely gorgeous and the hypershift is fast becoming mandatory in most projects.
It really is! Thanks!
I am speechless! So beautiful. The colour with the hypershift gives me some chills. Like you said… the sea, the beaches and the island. Love it!
Thank you so much!
Another great job. You did it justice by making the foot smaller. Designer Epoxy is great..
Thank you very much!
Jim, I agree with you, definitely in the top 5. Designer Epoxy seems to perform very well week after week. Thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
Very welcome!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Ocean IS the best description of that resin. Perfect swirls.
Thank you so much!
This piece is by far my favorite. Other woods are really nice, but Cherry really does it for me. This is also a beautiful shape,and the blue is lovely ❤❤❤ I think maybe the flag didn't do as well was because it was a clock, most watchers want to see what new shapes you come up with ❤
Thank you very much!
Its just beautiful, Jim! You picked a good color to go with the cherry burl. Your projects never disappoint, you are an artist, for sure! Thanks!❤
Thank you very much!
Very Nice.The blue lagona and the hyper shift from Designer Epoxy, make this Fine piece of art.
Thank you very much!
I love the islands! The small one by itself looks 3D. Always love the Hyper Shift. ☺️
Thank you so much!
That is a REALLY REALLY REALLY beautiful peace!!! Kinda looks like a huge chess pawn. Would be cool to see that, an entire chess set. :)
Not here, lol. Thanks
So beautiful Jim. Beautiful shape. Beautiful coloring. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!!! Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much 😀
