I don't comment on videos but I just had to here...I was looking for something to get my mind off all the crazy in the world today and i seen this home video of someone with crappy wood making sales of no talent for thumbs and views making money from youtube. I'm sorry for my attitude but like I said the world has gone crazy and I'm tired! Well I watched and you do the most amazing job out of what I would call fire wood so I went to your video page and watched 7 more and you blew my mind and lifted my spirits. Hello, my name is Tena and I am your forever fan now as long as you post...I subscribed and will share I hope you see this!!!

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

I think Jim should have kept this one for a little while and had it on display in an art gallery with some of his other brilliant pieces he’s made. AND, entered his artwork in a Contest to win $250,000 so he can buy more: Designer Epoxy Epoxy is so expensive. I have several gallons and some smaller sized UV epoxy (haven’t tried that yet). I make home decor and jewelry ( resin and lots and lots of beads that I have made over the past 6+ years. My inventory is out of control and I need to get rid of it (sell it)!!! And, I need to sell most of it so I can start woodturning!! Designer Epoxy

That’s so much ice cream!! Went for coffee yesterday in one of those artisan places. And they had coffee tables that had been made with resin inlays. The inlays were all yellowed - and I was talking to my friends about it and it hit me just how much I’ve learned from you (and people like you!) So thank you for that! And congratulations on getting the piece more like the way you wanted it! Looks beautiful!

No matter what the epoxy eventually it yellows. This is why I tend to color my resin pieces. You don’t have theses issues when it’s colored, I bet these tables were in the sun and the epoxy didn’t have UV inhibitors in it like DE. Thanks for watching
