The Bloodwood piece is my favorite part! I love how you push the boundaries of woodturning. You have enormous, artistic talent...thank you for sharing it. :)

Awesome chipmunk (with BIG eyes) feeder. Your inspiration must come from the woods, so soothing.... ahhhhhh

Your wood working art is amazing and so is your video skill. I guess it's the artist's eye.

Good evening, David. This video and project has been very pleasing to my sight. Thank you.

Beautiful workmanship. The bloodwood is gorgeous as is the rest of the piece. Very well done.

Again, I amazed at what you can create just for me m a piece of wood. And they aren’t made I chins, they’re created by a man with so much talent. It’s awesome work.

I really enjoy watching to see what each piece becomes as it becomes! Thank you for the fine work.

I love this. I can smell the sawdust and it brings back great memories of times with my great grandfather.

I worked on my grandfathers lumbermill as a kid and did some woodworking in the wood shop. I now work in a pallet shop operating a forklift and pallet grinder. All night I smell the wood breaking up and grinding to chips and dust and it brings me back. I sat day dreaming about working the mill and rolling logs last night. When I break out the chainsaw or brush cutter the smell brings me back to felling big maple and pines. The occasional oak.

I've never seen bloodwood before. It's so beautiful.

The blood wood bowl was so beautifully grained…. The scream of the drill echoed in my head.

Love your cam angles, close-ups, special effects, etc...

Amazing vision of what a piece of wood can be! And let’s not overlook the extremely talented videography! Simply put, inspiring!

You blokes pick up a chunk of {something}, turn it for a bit while you febrile brains swing into action .. and then, after some work, there it is - a wonderful THING !!! I'm glad you're young: you'll see me out and then some. [grin]

Often it's not people with "fragile confidence" (I assume English isn't your first language but I think I know what you're trying to say), for channels like this (that tend to only draw in adults) thumbs down are often in reference to video quality production, over production (like long intros that have nothing to do with with the topic), loud music, people speaking too much or not at all and literally a million other things that people didn't like about the video... or they just thought the end result was bad (different people have different tastes); but it's usually not because they think a simple thumb down means anything other than disapproving of something.

It can also be that someone did not like a technique someone used in a video or they did something "the wrong way". People also might have safety concerns about how people do things too. That lathe was travelling a ton and I bet that got some thumbsdowns. Dumb reason to do that but hey... people are people.

The production of your "films" is an outstanding quality. I would find it unusual, (to say the least), if you have not had professional/artistic training in this matter. Is this what you do for a living and your turning, as good as it is, is your hobby? Well turned! Well filmed! Well done! B

Regardless, the fellow does have a God given talent in what he does with both wood and videos. I wish I were only half as good and consider myself lucky. One thing I would like to know about is his source of wood. For me to buy some of those woods where I live would break the bank account.

Thanks so much, Bryan! I have been looking through a camera lens since I was a kid, and I like to think I’ve picked up some tricks by studying people like Ric Ergenbright, but I’m self taught for the videography, unless KZread tutorials counts. A lot of my wood comes from eBay, which I’ve found to be a fairly good place to get exotic ready-to-turn pieces for a decent cost. But yes, it’s an investment of sorts. An investment in my viewers! 😃

I also buy exotic wood from ebay but I've found that prices have gone up quite steeply in recent years.

Your work is amazing and I think you hit on a great title for a movie, with this one.🤔-GSH

First of all, you knocked it out of the park again. I love the pattern on the bowl as well as the lid. Just incredible. Is the pot available? I hope so. Second, you used a felt tipped tool attached to the dremel . I am curious what was the purpose of that action? And thirdly, what a difference (approximately 2000+- miles) made on May the 9th. In Texas, it was at least 80F and either sunny or rainy, I don’t recall exactly. But I can guarantee it was not snowing. Beautiful scenery out your front door. The pictures you showed of the spring are always breath taking. Thanks so much for letting us see your work.

It is a spectacular piece. You truly have great vision and creativity. I’ve never seen bloodwood before and now it’s my favorite wood, but I nearly cried when you drilled all the holes in it, to me it just destroyed the beautiful bloodwood.
