In this video I make a piece without the use of a pressure pot and explain why I prefer to use one. Luckily the piece came out pretty good, but I will not be trying this again. I feel a pressure pot is a requirement if turning with resin. Thank you very much to Simple Woodturning Tools for providing the scraper and rougher used in this video. They worked fantastic and I’m sure to get a lot of use out of them in the future.

    You are an artist. You think like an artist. You talk like an artist. Your work is beautiful.
  • @FoxDog1080
    I love the idea of a colorblind person picking a color because "It sounds cool"
  • @ExpandDong420
    Colorblind people somehow manage to bring out the most beautiful colors in their work, I remember I heard of a colorblind artist who goes by color codes instead of how they look and it looked supernaturally beautiful
  • @chris2097
    That turned out amazing! Good choice on the color...I choose my wine by how cool the labels look.🤣
  • @debbiekeay181
    Stunning, one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful pieces I've seen turned. Absolutely stunning!
  • Believe me if you can start with a block and let it speak to you you're an artist. I have to see the completed piece before I start, left brain. Actually your artistry is what sets you apart from some of the other wood turning channels.
  • @billdryden6275
    GORGEOUS PIECE!! Your color selection based on how it sounds is outstanding ..... and the best (!!) part is that you didn't choose to do yet another piece in BORING black ..... THANK YOU!! 😉👍😉
  • Loved what you said about letting the wood speak to you... spoken like a true artist. Beautiful piece!! So glad I found your channel. 😊
  • @jennydrumm7223
    Another fantastic piece! I really need to stop binging on your videos and wash dishes or clean up the house or do SOMETHING productive today, LOL! But your videos are so cool to watch
  • @millsinaz4220
    Patience is the key to a glass like finish. Great job.
  • @wilbard6708
    First time I have watched one of your videos. Really like your style, your explanation of what you are doing was great much better than other turning videos with no talking. Platter really looks great.

    Your work is beautiful, your beard is epic. Thanks for sharing.
  • Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

    Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤ Hexagons are the bestagons! 🎉
  • My son is colorblind too, red & green or just red. Can’t remember which. I know for sure he’s red, because I remember him thinking a red balloon was pink. I don’t remember him having trouble with any greens though. He picks his clothes out fine though. Plus, he’s artistic.
  • Great looking piece! It gave me an idea for something similar with pentagons. I modified my vacuum chamber so that I could pour resin in while under vacuum. I usually leave the wood in for as much as 12 hours before adding the resin without breaking the vacuum. I then wait for the resin to degas, after which it goes into the pressure pot. The result is absolute clarity. I also use glue my project to a piece of sacrificial OSB.so that I don't have to screw the flange into the work piece. It's easy to part off the OSB when the bowl is all but finished, then flip it and hold it by the rim for the final work on the bottom. Much less material, particularly resin, is wasted that way. Keep up the good work!

    You’re like the final boss of wood turning. Amazing energy. You remind me so much of my dad.

    Turned out fantastic. I really enjoy your work. And thank you for supporting America!
