Woodcraft 101: You can do Basket Illusion wood turning

[@gengenone1163]

I've been watching KZbin videos and having my own video channel quite a few years. Of all the videos I have kept to watch over and over again, you sweetie are the top 5% of the ones I've kept. You treat people with respect, I still go back and watch the weaving episode from PBS. Stay kind, stay respectful, we really appreciate it.✍

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Wow, thank you!

[@coreygrua3271]

Fascinating. I love the way Eric connects with each craftsman. He respects everyone and gains their trust. Each artist/craftsperson then opens up their creation secrets and shares their joy. As humans, we ARE that we might have joy. A Craftsman’s Legacy opens up many avenues to joy.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thank you for the kind words. I don't do anything special, craftsmen are more than willing to share and help others learn!!

[@jennylawson1980]

Eric this happens to be one of my favorite videos. I go back and binge watch the old PBS videos too but this one is definitely one of my ultimate favorites!!! I cant wait to see you make one :) too.

A very detailed and somewhat complicated process, but very worth the beautiful outcome! The basket weave design is stunning!! Thanks for sharing this Eric! Will you be making any to sell in the future?? Hope you and Buddy have a great weekend!! God bless!!

One thing you must realize,you better have patience or you won't be able to do this work.For me,it relaxes me,so i can do this for hours on end.

[@MadonnaThornton.Woodworks]

I have always wondered how this was done. Where can I get the layout circles?

[@davidshaper5146]

Am I correct that you know/calculate the number of beaded rings as part of the layout? Do you use different beading tools of various widths?

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

No. You use the same beading tool. You also do not have to calculate the number of beads. As you get towards the end you can manipulate the beading a little to compensate for spacing.

[@ander7600]

Do you have a source for the India ink pens he uses?

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

I ordered some from Dick Bliss Art supplies.

[@RABWOODSHOPSTUDIO]

What finish do you apply at the end? Any ?

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

I don't remember using any finish, but I would think a simple top coat would be fine.

[@caraccount863]

Like your channel very much. Hope you keep it going!!

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Thanks, will do!

[@madavies1952]

Are these for sale anywhere?

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Jim doesn't sell any of his work.

[@dennismitchell5276]

Dental floss?

Very good video. I have been doing basket illusion turnings for about 2 years. It's a lot of fun. If you want to see another very talented basket illusion turner, check out Karl Hansen (Gibbsartwood on Instagram). Super cool patterns and designs.

[@CraftsmansLegacy]

Super cool! Thanks man, I'll check him out.
