My jaw literally dropped. The vision and mastery required to craft this creation is truly stunning. I would dearly have loved to have seen the piece in person.

Wow, I cannot even fathom the level of skill and persistence it takes to complete such a piece of art. Well done.

Absolutely inspiring work. Also, I keep hearing "you can never have enough clamps" I now see why! Great work.

This (amazing) project caused the great clamp and rubber band shortage of 2017.

I am just starting to put a woodworking shop together in my garage now that I am retired. I stumbled onto this KZread video all I can say is what a fabulous work of art, Malcolm you have a remarkable creative talent and an obvious love of woodworking...Keep it up..!

Not sure how I stumbled across this video but I'm.aure glad I did! Your work is incredible! Such a labor of love and it's amazing what can be created with such simple elements :)

Peace~Love~Happiness to Malcolm and Andy. I am quadriplegic, have been for the last 10 years. Watching you create brings peace, love, and happiness to my soul. My constant pain is greatly diminished as I watch the love that you put into your work. Thank you so much for sharing and God Bless.

The scale of your project amazes me. Thank you for sharing.

Your passion, creativity and perseverance is incredible, exceeded only by your positive outlook after such a heinous, misguided act. Thank you for sharing your inspirational message. Cheers!

Astounding! The process blew my mind, and the end result was so beautiful. Really just amazing.

I am humbled by the level of skill and creativity. A true masterpiece.

I love that I still find stuff I missed. So excited for next year.

So glad you documented the process and that you got good footage on the playa. So sad to hear the outcome of your experience. It's been my concern the last few years I've been on playa. With larger installations of mine we had a support camp and had 'hosts' at the work on a 24 / 7 basis. It's a whole additional layer to manage but it did keep the art safe. It just takes one person in 70,000 to ruin the whole thing :( Thank you for your contribution

I am always amazed at the time and energy people put in to a once a year, hot, crowded and dusty event......we are a pretty interesting species.....hope it was fun for you!

I am a woodworker and I cannot even imagine starting a project like this. With all the saw cuts and glue up alone I would be overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing.

You are a true magician. Thank you for putting this into the world. Much love

Jesus. When I clicked on the thumbnail, I was expecting a particularly interesting segmented bowl or something. Holy shit. Amazing.

Not only is it a shame that this was vandalized, but it's a shame that so many in the comments don't appreciate the effort and passion that went into making this. You don't have to "get" art to appreciate good workmanship and quality.

The amount of time, effort and skill that has gone into this project is almost incomprehensible. This video was amazing, thank you for sharing.

An incredible piece of both Engineering and Woodworking skills. Fascinating to watch. I didn't want to watch your second video as it was obvious your artwork was damaged in some way. I did though.

I'd love to see how you planned this amazing project.

Those are absolutely amazing, beautifully designed and I can tell you put your heart and soul into creating beautiful art. Thank you for sharing

Amazing or wow just seems so small a comment.

Way to go Malcolm. I'm impressed and glad you went in with an open mind and left with inspiration and a contribution. I hope to bring my parents one day..

as a 36 year old woodturner I just want to express my awe at your work! you are a true inspiration!!!!!

I built a giant golf club and put tuned copper tubes and plates of steal on it and gave people golf clubs to try and play music. Some of my tubes were beaten so hard to be flattened and my laser destroyed. You can't take anything to Burningman and say don't climb on it, people will climb it. Its not the place for fragile art. Sorry what happened.

That must have been painfully repetitive.

Man the skill and time required to make this project is amazing. You sir are a true craftsman. Thank you for showing us your work. Also I love the rubber bands when the clamps were no longer big enough to fit over it

Totally amazing-- Great to see such great father & son collaboration. Gifted.

Very interesting. I like the geometrical knots. I wouldn´t have executed the Smiley and Peace symbol in such massive way though. It looks more like a showdown than passing peace message to the people. And the amount of redwood wasted for it isn´t symbolizing peace in my perspective. It´s rather war on nature.

@CabinDoor you don't know what waste is, although you are an example of it.

Astounding. The expertise in geometry, trigonometry, material science and engineering are beyond the comprehension of the average person when they see this piece. That doesn't begin to touch the skill set and experience required. I truly believe you could see this in your mind's eye as it would appear when complete and how you were going to do it. You must have spent many nights laying awake just figuring out how to ... "make the tools so you could make the tool to make the parts". No doubt untold hours must have been spent calculating compound angles, material requirements and the time required to machine and fabricate each component, wood and metal. As a fellow craftsman I salute you, sir. Well done.

No words can really describe the emensity or skill that's gone into this project Malcome, you are a true artist no doubt. Thank you very much for sharing this project with us on youtube. I was "glued" to the screen !!

I really wish I was patient and steady handed enough to achieve art of this magnitude... thank you for this beautiful piece and amazing video

WOW!!! Just...... WOW! You Sir are the King, Master and Emperor of woodcraft. The scale of the PIECES (one would sufice) are unbelievable. I'm lost for words.

You Sir are one special person....not only the patience of a saint, but a remarkable craftsman...😳... I watched this video in awe...

What an impressive work. Astonishing, thanks for sharing this beautiful piece and making of!

Sir, I doff my cap to you. To go through the labor and expense just for the enjoyment of others is art of the highest form. WOW! AWESOME!

the amount of work he's put into this is amazing...I see years and years of methodical prep

Dear Malcom. I am overwhelmed. This true art! Thanks for sharing this.

These are absolutely GORGEOUS pieces!

This is absolutely incredible. My jaw was open in awe the whole way through.

As an amateur wood turner and craftsman... I can't even fathom the enormity of this project. Kudos to you and your vision!

I never tire of watching people making things with incredible skill and precision :)

Those pieces are just phenomenal. Excellent work, wish I could see it live.

Encountered this vid entirely at random. Absolutely beautiful work, and the amount of time and effort that went into it is staggering.

I tip my hat to your obviously superior workflow, SIR!

A symphony of numbers, a beautiful thing. Thanks for this vision.

This art team workers are simply amazing!

It's funny but what amazes me the most is all your creative solutions for clamping the work while it dries.

It is incredible the texture and finish that you put on those pieces. It almost looks fake how clean they are! Absolutely astounding to look at

Im am awed by your vision, talent, and patience in birthing this beautiful piece of art. As a woodworker, I appreciate it more than you know….you have challenged me, inspired me, and brought great joy to me in watching your video. Thank you very much!

This is probably the best woodworking and dedication I've seen on KZread

I don't have the words to express my amazement at your art. You sir, are a genius.

What an absolutely incredible amount of work and creativity went into that. Amazing.

such amazing work, malcom. from concept to execution, you create what many woodturners only dream about.

Oh my goodness! That is certainly the most epic piece of woodturning art I've ever seen! Well done, sir! Well done indeed.

From one creator to another, this is awesome on an industrial scale... with skill and the passion to fuel it. Beautiful. 👍🏼✌🏼

I cannot fathom how anyone finds the patience to carry out all this repetitive work. Half a dozen pieces would freak me out, never mind thousands! Amazing!

As a fellow woodworker, I'm in complete awe. The level of skill, precision, planning and determination to do something like this is mind boggling. Thanks for sharing the video!

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you lost this work. And i hope you keep making amazing things. So beautiful.

Mind blowing talent! Unbelievably amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Unbelievable craftsmanship! Great job!

You're a master with so much experience. Please don't be discouraged you from creating future large beautiful works like this to the public. Your voice is important and you have so much to give!

This is amazing! The message of love and peace and happiness was really good for me. I needed it. I'm not going to watch the second part jet because I think it may hurt me right now. But something when I get better I may. Awesome project, incredible good. I don't know what else to say. Thank you!

What a vision ...and an incredible amount of skill, effort, and patience.... experience and foresight. Amazing.

Such patience and dedication! Well done.

This is incredible. I never cease to be amazed at what the mind of man can conceive . And tha ability to see something so esoteric by the power of YT. Thankyou

Wow - that is incredible. I am utterly amazed at this build and the design process behind it - it is beyond my thought process capabilities. Scott

The real genius here is your ingenuity with clamping! Incredible work, you're competing on a different level.

This was simply amazing to watch ! Thank you

we were in SLT on monday driving around looking at properties. I saw your work in a driveway down a side street. I had to back up and pull down the street to see them closer. That was me in the white caravan that stopped in front of the drive where some of the pieces were. Even just by themselves sitting in a driveway they are Beautiful! I was amazed, I wondered, are they actually made of wood - or paper, maybe cardboard... I had to get out and touch the sculpture, thrilled to be touching hard wood, redwood... I have thot of those pieces everyday since, marveling at how wonderful they are, the time that obviously went into them, the Love, the Vision. Imagine my surprise when looking at some random KZread video on sticks that there they are in the sidebar! Thank you! Thank you for creating these, they are so wonderful. I am sorry that someone broke them. Thank you for making the videos and sharing this story. I love the details of the builds, it reminds me of the desire in me to make art, to build things just cuz they are so cool... Thank you!

Wow! Thank you for making that piece and sharing it.

That is truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. You and your son are both amazing artists! That woodwork is astounding.

Really an amazing piece of work - I'm glad KZread made this a suggestion for me. And what a wonderful collaboration between father and son. I'm actually afraid to watch part II.....

Wow Malcolm - incredible vision and the passion to see this through. It's truly amazing and I wish I could see it with my own eyes.

That is quite a piece of work. Hours of planning and hours of work to produce a superb sculpture. Thanks

When I see inspiring work like this, my inner creativity screams and pounds on the inside of my brain, "Let me out. Let me out!" It is so painful.

Omg this could be my most favorite video on KZread of all times! There are so many amazing things in this video that I've never seen before about woodworking! Thank you so much!

Malcolm, I took your one day class in Reno a few years ago. You never stop amazing me.
