Just wanted to say that in the middle of a bunch of stress and anxiety, being able to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch you create this beautiful piece was like finding a port in a storm this morning! Thanks for being there and I hope you get your 4 feet back!

This came out soooo well! I'm surprised that the silver infill does not show more starkly silver in the finished piece, but you can still see the crack. For sure the orientation of the wood to form the wavey epoxy line was the way to go!

It's like wood sandwiching an amazing amethyst geode. That crack helps complete the geode effect. It is stunning. With the light inside the resin transformed into Blue John, a rare fluorite found locally to me. Two different crystals captured in wood ❤🤩

I completely understand and empathize with you on waiting for the government when you're trying to build or renovate. We have been waiting for the county to approve our building permits for over a year after a house fire last October. Hopefully we will hear within the next couple of months.

Wow, that sucks! Is this Canada or the USA?

Definitely the best-looking hammer attack victim I've ever seen. Dang Jim that is simply incredible. Just as resin was a great leap forward for your work, the hypershift is another game changer. This video was a perfect example of what I love about your channel. Besides the creativity, you give us a good laugh now and then. Hard to believe this was an hour-long video. Time flew like shavings.

I have watched many different wood turners and have settled on two. For me it is personality and the easy way you teach us. You also let us know if mistakes so we can avoid them. When you don't want the cracks they crack, and want cracks they don't. Keep us smiling.
