It's nice to see the old stomping grounds, and the extra room will be a help with your work, I'm sure. All the wood grains in this video were so beautiful. Can't wait to see the walnut finished.
Thank you very much!
Oh! Congratulations on your upcoming move and bigger better shop! Definitely videos of setting up your shop the build etc would be great too… if you can’t make bowls that would work too! ❤️
I will always be a turner, just might add some flat work in there to, like river tables, lol. thanks
I second that motion.
There’s so much more to wood turning than I ever realized.
Thank you very much!
Its great that you show non turners what is involved in getting a finished product. Maybe they won't complain about sale price. Great job
Thank you very much!
Hey Jim. You know that once you have a new shop. You have to have a new lathe. Isn't that a rule or something. Lol
It totally is, lol. Thanks
@Wantlessobject I’ve heard that rule: New work shop = new toys! Good call!!
Great video, lots of beautiful wood! Congratulations on your new adventure!
Designer Epoxy
I think you should keep this beautiful workhorse for the roughing out (sap spray) and get a new one for the finishing
As always great learning experience! Each week I can hardly wait for for your videos. The wood is beautiful, hard to say imperfections. But I love all the challenges that they give you, and how you are able to use them creatively to enhance the beauty.
Thank you very much!
@@SpragueWoodturning ❤❤😊 ⁹
Congratulations Jim getting a new shop will be awesome and your wife will love her new house.😂😂😂
Who cares about the house, haha. Thanks
Rough turning always feels like a marathon and it’s still a year until you have something to show for it. Designer epoxy
Very true! Thanks!
Thanks Jim for sharing your processes. Very educational. Especially for beginner wood turners. 👍 Keep on turning!! DESIGNEREPOXY
Thank you very much!
Another great video. Congratulations on your (eventual) move home. The new setup sounds amazing and more room to work in is always a joy!
Thank you very much!
The newest entry in the Sprague Dictionary of Advanced Woodturning - WOOD JUICE! I'm learning so much I never knew watching these videos!! Thanks, Jim (and congratulations and best of everything on next year's move - hooray for a bigger shop)!
Nobody likes wood juice, nobody, haha. Thanks
Glad I didn't watch this last night while doing my Sprague Woodturning binge. Had to process processing logs, and was definitely too tired to take in all the info in this video at midnight. As it is, I'll wind up watching this multiple times. You're a great teacher and creator. Glad my son found you for me.
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching
Jim, I am never going to be a wood turner but I love watching your videos. I have learned a lot and gained a huge appreciation for wood turned items I see at local markets and faires.
Thank you very much!
I think it is so cool how you cut all the bowels to get the ready.
Thank you very much!
The black walnut is so beautiful. Designer Epoxy.
It really is! Thanks
The last few weeks I have gotten my turning fix vicariously through you! I have been in the process of moving and probably won't have my new shop set up and turning for a few more weeks. Thanks for showing the roughing out process you use, gives me a different way than some others I have seen.
Thank you so much!
Firstly Jim - I'm happy for you and your wife and pray that all your future plans will be successful. Secondly - thanks for sharing this stage with us. I absolutely love the cutting up and forming cause you experience the whole process. It also shows just how much work it takes to get a beautiful bowl/plate etc. You give so much information and examples of what you're talking about that it's easy to follow even when you're not a turner yourself. Please don't cut this type of video for it is so eye opening and informative. Thanks for sharing your journey. Take care. Much ❤
Thank you very much!
Didn't comment on last week's video - these two videos are an excellent reminder that good prep goes a long way - saving resources and making your final steps as painless as possible - seems to be the same thing using Designer Epoxy - just a little longer process. Wish you the best on your move.
Thank you very much!
Going home can be amazing. The work required can be daunting. I will never be able to do what you do, but, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn how. Will enjoy & learn from whatever videos you do make. And I do rewatch some too.
I will always be a turner. That’s my true passion, might throw a table video in here and there, lol. Thanks
Can't wait to see these become finished artwork' Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
So this will be the last roughing out video. It is nice to see how to get to where the finished product becomes possible.
Most likely, but we will see, thanks
Wow, there is so much that goes into every bowl, I can see why you do prep on multiple blanks all at one time, plus, the next time I go into the hardware store, and I see the woodworking tools, I may recognize one of them and actually know what it is used for! (another tidbit on tools for my trivia arsenal) Thank you for this informational video, and most of all thank you for posting the videos of the beautiful pieces you make!!
Thanks for watching!
I pray God's blessings on your build and move. My wife and I just moved back to my hometown after being away for 20 years. Our decision to move was the correct one.
Great! Thank you very much!
I love the purple colour of the walnut before it fully dries, it is beautiful once it goes black but gosh the purple is breathtaking! Reminds me of the purple heart wood offcuts in the vase you did recently, I continue to dream about a purple heart wood piece done with different purple resins... I am thrilled about your news Jim, I am very excited for you getting a bigger better workshop! I hope you have a smooth transition and wish you and your wife much happiness moving back to New Brunswick 💜💜💜
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Great to see how those logs were turned into blanks, beautiful figuring in them. Will be fun to see what these will look like down the road!
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you put out vids like this Jim, very few realize just how many "hands-on "hours go into a basic 12-14" bowl ,,congrats on the upcoming move
Thank you very much!
Can’t wait to see how the spruce burl turns out. Please add progress clips on your new workshop and home when the building starts. Designer epoxy
If we are there, I certainly will. Thanks
Congratulations on the new shop and house! I am loving the walnut! My husband and I watch your videos together on fridays with a glass of bourbon. Cheers to your new adventure! ❤
Great! Cheers 🥃🥃
As an amateur it’s always great to hear about coring technics. Great stuff.
Thank you very much!
I love how relaxing your videos are, even without using Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
I'm not a turner, but I find it fascinating how much work actually goes into it... I DO have a few bowls & boards that were gifted to me & I appreciate them even more now (I truly appreciated them to begin with). Some of those bowls are going to be gorgeous when finished! For me, the more character the wood has, the more I like it. Good luck with the move!! Hopefully everything goes well & I KNOW you'll enjoy the new shop!
Thank you very much!
I don't do production turning, but listening to you tell me about it...fascinating, just fascinating. I don't know where you are going from here or how it's going to TURN out...but, godspeed and good luck...and don't forget about us, your loyal fans.
I certainly won’t! Thank you for your support!
Good to be reminded of the larger world your beautiful pieces emerge from.
Thanks 😊
I said this last week as well, I love these videos because I'm just getting started turning. Thank you for all the education. I just set up my first lathe yesterday and hope to begin my first ever roughing out session in the next few days. Just trying to make room for everything in my shop. 'OK Wood Labs' is born. 😁
Great, thanks for watching!
I guess it's the thriftiness in me but I love it when you core out the bowls. I get kinda upset when other people don't core out their bowls lol. Love the deep purple of the black walnut.
Yes, don’t know why others don’t have a coring rig too. Thanks
Jim, I was tuckered out watching you rough out those bowl blanks!
Thank you very much! Me too, lol.
Hope everything works out with the move back to N.B. I spent 8 years stationed in Greenwood N.S. and my wife was from there. We always thought we would go back after I retired. When the time came I let her make the decision kids and grandkids were here so she wanted to stay. I'm glad she decided that way now, she died 3 years ago and my kids and brothers all all within an hour or two drive.Good luck with the move and new shop.
Thank you very much! Its a very tough decision!
I don't have a lath but I love listening to the info you give out better than other woodturning videos
Thank you very much!
That black walnut is going to be absolutely stunning!!
It’s the king! Thanks
“The Crotch Video” 😆😝🤣 Can’t wait to see what you make out of all of them!
Thank you very much! 😝😝
Congratulations on your up coming move. It's just the next chapter on your life adventure
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy - coring is the way to go!
It sure is! Thanks
I love the small source it's adorable. The maple with the purple is my favorite, cant wait to see them finished.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for that interesting video, Jim. So much to take in and the human interest sharing your future plans makes it extra special. I - sorry, we - chose our current house because of the large garden (for England) and double (English) garage to turn into a workshop. It only took me 30 years! Keep keeping up the good work 🌞
Thanks for watching
And a partridge in a pear tree!! Nice wood!! Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Thanks again for teaching us. It’s amazing how much thought and work and time is involved in creating the bowls. I knew it was, but really, it’s more than I thought.😅
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing all the prep work involved. These are some impressive bowels in the making. Congratulations on the move, you sound like it is making you happy.
It will be painful, but hopefully rewarding, thanks!
You should do a paid workshop on these types of skills. Black tail studio did that. He was able to expand his client base at the same time.
Clients aren’t really the problem, the problem is time to make stuff, lol. Thanks for watching!
I watch all your videos, even though I will never be a wood turner I find your videos so interesting and informative, thank you.
Glad you like them! Thanks
Brilliant video again this week Jim - I am quickly becoming an armchair expert just by watching you. Well done for making the decision on the move - can't have been an easy one to make, but can't wait to watch videos shot from your fancy new workshop (and casting room!) This is the first time I've seen so many different woods in the raw form - am totally in love with the black walnut, it has to be said! Have a great weekend :o)
Thank you very much!
Congrats Jim on the news of you moving. I hope you don't miss your kids to much and have to move close to them again. Thanks for sharing this process. Look forward to seeing if any of these will get some designer epoxy.
It will be tough. Thanks
Hey Jim I'm a New Brunswick transplant as well. Living outside Windsor Ontario. We have a home by Fundy National Park in NB we go to every year. I'm retired but wife has a few more years. Can't wait to get back home. 🍻🍻
It was a very tough decision for us. Thanks for watching
Good information on first turning and preventing cracking. Man, I couldn't leave the kids. Good Luck setting everything up in the new home though.
It was a very tough decision, thanks!
This is a great video of "how the sausage is made." A Great look. I was always wondering what Anchor Seal was, and what it was used for. Another great video! God bless you, your wife, and family, as you make the move to New Brunswick. That's quite a hike, from where y'all are, now. I pray that the adjustment, for everyone goes smoothly, and the kids come visit, often.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so kindly for sharing all the process that goes into creating your beautiful pieces. A new shop, how exciting. Take great care and keep creating your wonderful videos and smiling.
Thank you very much!
I enjoy the roughing videos. Seeing how you take plain chunks of wood and find all the potential beauty in them amazing. The "wood juice" made me laugh, but it is plenty true, if you have ever watched the Hydraulic Press Channel when they have crushed green wood the amount of water that comes out is amazing.
Sometimes it’s like taking a shower when turning, lol. Thanks
Love your videos Jim. I always learn so much from you. I may never need it. But learning new things is something that makes me very happy.
Thank you very much!
Love learning new things from you. Can't wait to get back into my shop. One day, one day!
Please do! Thanks
Designer Epoxy - Thanks Jim and good luck with the pending move. New shop will be awesome!
Fingers crossed! Thanks!
Jim, as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. It's great hearing you thought process throughout the videos.
Thank you very much!
I'm like you. I really like processing bowls and getting them ready to dry. Clean up is another issue. Lots and lots of shavings. Thanks for showing!
Thanks for watching!
It was great to see how you prepare all of the bowls that you do.
Thank you very much!
I do like to watch these. They tell you more about what goes into the making of these beautiful bowls. Thank you
Thank you very much!
That is good news about the up coming move. I wish you and your wife all the best.
Thank you very much!
I love watching the different steps you go through and hear your thought processes, to prepare the timber for your projects. Excited to hear your news too.
Thank you very much!
Once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge. The last couple of episodes have been super instructive and will help me with my process.
Great! Thank you very much!
I don’t know why they call them "roughed out" bowls 🥣 they come out really clean, this is very informative, I'm just fascinated by this process 😊
Thanks for watching!
jim, im an amateur woodturner and ive learned so much from your videos. keep up the great work man.oh yeah designer epoxy. 🤞
Thank you very much!
Great to see this content, it’s like opening a present every time you cut into a blank. Can’t wait to see the new setup in the future.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim! You, sir are are a great Chraftsman. A good teacher also.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Jim. Always a pleasure.
Thank you very much!
I wish the walnut stayed purple! That's so cool! Love purple.
Me too! Thanks
I know I'm not a good Turner but that was very interesting to see the process. Thank you for sharing it
Thanks for watching
I love all the work you do. It's nice that you take the time to teach people how to do the bowls.
Thank you very much!
Sounds like some exciting changes coming, Jim! The new shop sounds fantastic. NB is where my Dad's side of the family is from. Plus, since I'm in Maine, we'll be neighbors.
Totally, we would go shopping in Calis quite often. Thanks
I do like your videos of your production steps. I have learned much. I understand if they cease. It's all about the Benjamins. I'm a hobby turner so I have more leeway preparing blanks.
There's actually 19 roughing out videos on that playlist, thanks.
Your new workshop sounds delightful. You have the advantage of years of experience in what works, what is problematic, and what would be really nice to have. I expect it will be brilliantly designed as a result. I can't wait to see it.
Me too, lol. Thanks
Most people don’t realize the work and time it takes to make a wood bowl. Can’t wait to see what you do with the designer epoxy when you finish these bowls.
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy I love watching your roughing out videos. I think my favorites are the ones where you are outside & choosing/cutting pieces. My dad was a logger in Oregon. I grew up around trees/logging/milling.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations Jim best wishes to you and your wife.
Thank you very much!
As much information you give out so simply and thoroughly makes me wonder if you have ever had apprentices and how they ended up fairing in their own work. It seems like you would be a great mentor
Never have, your my apprentices each week. Lol. Thanks
Congratulations on getting to build your own home.
Thank you very much!
I love watching your videos. I don't turn wood but would have loved to learn. The large walnut bowl is going to be beautiful. I like all your work. I think the one I love the best is the one that looked like the ocean.
Awesome! Thank you!
Just wanted to give you a congratulations on your next big phase of life. It has to be exciting to be able to build your dream house, hers, and “your” shop. For some reason I think your more excited about its build. Don’t worry, we understand, we won’t tell “The Wife”. I think the Hawaii Spalted Maple is going to make something special. I hope it dries well, can’t wait to see what you make using it. Curious, some of those extra pieces you had left over could be really desirable to knife makers. Properly stabilized and died, you could make a good profit from them. Designer Epoxy
Looking forward to not having such a cramped workshop! If I could split myself in half I could make a ton of stuff, lol. Thanks for the suggestion!
Designer Epoxy Jim, really nice video - very informative. I like that you included some real-time turning since, while I understand the reason for speeding them up, seeing the video in fast-mode it is hard to grasp just how long it really takes to rough out a bowl. Since I live in Florida, it really doesn't help to cut tree in the winter since it never gets cold enough to change the sap flow all that much. The same thing about drying them - our summers are not only hot, but they are also long. Of course, one advantage is that what may take a year or two for you to dry wood only takes about 6 months for us. Hope all goes well with the new shop and house and that you have a smooth move. I would consider the heat-pump mini-split for heat and cool over propane. Many of the newer ones can produce sufficient heat even in very cold weather.
Yes, I will probably go with a heat pump. I’m told by the builder that a mini split can’t take the dusty conditions. A fast way for you to remove the moisture from the tree is to leave the branches and leaves on and allow the leaves to pull the moisture from the tree, then process it from there. Thanks for watching
@@SpragueWoodturning I have a mini-split in my shop. I know it is extra work but, if you design and build a "box" to cover all the mini-split except for the vent that blows the air into the shop, you can make it so you can use conventional filters - the mini-splits are usually much more efficient than central type units and more than window or through-the-wall units ... and, they are very quiet!
You’re a good teacher, from any location.
Thank you very much!
Congrats on your planned move! I hope you get to put everything you want in the new work annex (and the house of course 😉). Even though I'm not a wood turner, I enjoy seeing these process videos, particularly the explanations of why you choose to cut/form the pieces the way you do. Thanks
Thank you very much!
I think you are right about it being spruce and not pine. The bark looks like spruce to me, but I'm used to Swedish trees and not Canadian dito. Anyway awesome video and good luck with the move, don't worry about missing a video or two. We can wait.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing these how-to videos Jim, it’s really useful for me, as a newer turner. Thanks man! ✌️❤️🍻🖖
Thanks for watching!
As always, great video Jim! I find the roughing out process very interesting! WOW! A big move and an even bigger shop! How exciting! Consider adding a shower to that bathroom. Great for an emergency wash down, if needed.
All I need is a bed and I’m set, lol. Thanks
I missed commenting on last week's but both of these videos are fantastic. Great behind the scenes action
Thank you very much!
I love the grain in the crotch pieces
Thank you very much!
it is just fascinating watching you work. I know I am too old to ever start a new trade such as this, but I absolutely love watching you do it. You are a master at your art and I have absolutely loved watching everything that goes on before you start turning a piece. Excellent!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Jim for all the roughing out video you have done! Looking forward to seeing the new shop !
Me too., thanks!
Hey Jim. I always enjoy it when you turn wood bowls. I learn a lot.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim thanks again for showing these types of videos as you said yourself not many people show these on you tube but they are a great help for people starting off and I'm sure some experienced turners too. Good luck with the move when it happens too, it will be great for you to build a new shop and set it up as you like. Hopefully you will video all that too.
I will do as much video as possible, we won’t be there for most of it so it’s going to be tough. Thanks for watching
I am excited for your new journey. I will miss the roughing out videos. I wait every week just to see what u will be doing next! God Bless u!❤
you very much!
I will miss seeing more of these more "how to" videos, but I also love the artsy side of your videos too! The butternut rough outs are really speaking to me here, I'm eager to see what you do with them. Even as blanks, they just look cool!
Thank you very much!
Happy for your new adventure and moving back home. Always a good feeling. When you said this was your last video I thought oh no, but then realized you meant that type of video. Whew. I so enjoy watching you do your thing. 😆💕
Thank you very much!
3 dimensional thinking is a skill. Thanks for showing this!
Thank you very much!
