Cosmic Clouds Platter

[@Cutman3030]

I don't know why youtube recommended me your channel but God bless it for doing so. This channel is so entertaining and relaxing. Thank you Tim Yonder, bless you.

[@ryanburke8786]

Cutman3030 dude, he's the bob Ross of wood turning, which is saying a lot.

[@originalshredder34]

I wish more people could teach with your style and sense of humor. Clean, witty, but intelligent. Love it

[@justinfincher2385]

You're like the Bob Ross of wood turning! Bringing personality to these types of shows! I love it!

[@aprilhobbs25]

Oh my, I about cried when you covered that BEAUTIFUL piece of wood with black paint 😭. Such a gorgeous piece too

[@mnsmg]

Thanks for explaining what you're doing as you do it! As a person who has only watched woodturning videos and knows nothing about the craft, I really appreciate it.

[@gradyeiltsart4509]

I'm an artist 35 years......love the flow!

[@FlowersOfIcetor]

We get a really nice view of your wedding band here. A row of princesses and two sets of baguettes- super pretty! Glad you went for yellow gold, too. The way you work, white gold would just be waaay too much hassle. Makes your stones look bigger, too! Tell whoever picked it out they picked out well!

[@89degreestudio56]

That would probably look even more amazing under a black light

[@arta2870]

I have never done woodturning. Wood working yes but not turning. I have seen my uncle do that when I was a kid but that was 30yrs ago. I have now been wanting to get into the woodturning as a hobby.

[@brettbailey2206]

I thoroughly enjoyed the video and love the positivity and humor you put into it. That's what it's all about.

[@t-toysufos4929]

Tim, after watching you I decided to try one of these platters. After buy all the expensive paints. Well the thinner was expensive. The paints were cheap. I will have to make a few more... Orders from my wife. LOL But thank for all the free videos you make. Tom

[@sarahgohara3572]

What a great idea! ( spraying the beautiful wood and all)- I love that you try new things for us to see so that we are not afraid to do the same. Thanks!!!!

[@jackreeves3001]

Tim, you keep on getting better and better!

[@HT-ev3gg]

👌👍.. Cosmic Tim Platter 👌👍.. Incredible Work of Art 😊

[@christineingram55]

Absolutely gorgeous platter ,much prettier than the first one ,was a nice watch,thank you 😀

[@BreeXD45C]

Tim.. I know a little bit about the medium you were using so I will share. These are not true "iridescent" paints. In fact they really aren't "paints" in the normal sense at all. Paint is pigment in a binder. These are called INTERFERENCE COLORS. They are specially milled mica flakes coated with titanium in an acrylic binder. The flakes don't really have much color at all unlike pigments or metallics. Different thicknesses of the mica cause different color reflections/refractions when light hits them at a certain angle. That is the "pop" you spoke of. When the light is not at that angle, the interference colors are very pale or even white. The reason why you don't want to build up thick layers is that you create opacity since the mica flakes can't contrast with the dark underlayer even when the light is right. Dark bases show off the interference colors best. On a white base you can barely see the colors even at the right angle. Iridiescents are typically metallic paints that have some shimmer. They are in a sense similar to interference colors in that the angle of the light causes that flip effect or chatoyancy. Nevertheless, iridescence is not the same as interference. You did a terrific job of figuring out how these darn things actually work and created a really cool project. I spun up a shallow platter-bowl this week and painted the inside with black gloss enamel and tomorrow I will be trying out your techniques. Thanks for the great video.Bree

[@BreeXD45C]

BTW... don't thin the interference color with Flow Aid. Use Airbrush Medium. The reason is that Flow Aid (which reduces surface tension) is not made with acrylic polymer. If you thin acrylic paint or in this case interference color more than 30% with water or the like, you reduce the film strength since there isn't enough acrylic polymer to cross link and create a stable film. You run the risk of having the color flake off in the future since there isn't enough binder to hold it on the wood. Airbrush medium is very thin acrylic polymer so it is perfect for thinning the color. You can a drop of Flow Aid if you wish. Normal dilution of Flow Aid is 1 part Flow Aid to 20 parts water. A drop or two in the airbrush medium is all you need or want. Bree

[@woodturningwithtimyoder]

Just saw your post Bree...better late than never😊 Excellent information! Thank you for sharing. I am demonstrating this project in February and I will include your advice.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Brianne Corbett How interesting and informative! Thank you for the detailed info, this is very useful to know. I wonder if you can mix fine glass beads with any acrylic paint, or even mica chips sold loose, so that you can create your own iridescent paint mixes. Some of the higher end acrylic colors are superb, and unusual. For those who don't understand CHATOYANCY term: Chat (Sha) is Cat in French. Chatoyancy means a gleam like a cat eye. Some gemstones have this gleam such as Tiger Eye in both ochre and reddish brown. So does a star sapphire, fiber optic beads, etc.

[@MSNERVANA]

Cheerful, enjoyable and PROFESSIONAL demo ................thank you so much

[@arlineastman]

TimI have I thing all of your KZbin videos downloaded to my computer. I love your ideas and tool control and I am trying to get you back on PBS again. Pulling for you buddy.

[@duallygsd]

Thanks Arlin. If someone knows a big player to be a sponsor we will be back in a heartbeat!

[@todds4101]

Fantastic work!!! A regular Tom Wirsing quality platter. Beautiful artistry and a fantastic shape. Really enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work and posts!!!

[@cryd1239]

I want to see what would happen if you added some drops of that cool paint whilst the wood was mounted, then crank the lathe up to spread it around. Fantastic looking product, another ace video.

[@walshjp17]

Bonzer! So cool and fabulous. Now, that is art, my friend.

[@Bawdsey64]

Hi Tim Enjoying your turning videos as always. FYI Chestnut products are sold in USA by Craft Supplies, Peachtree and a company in Texas called Wood something or other. Due to REGULATIONS, excuse me whilst I clear my throat, the Ebonising spray cannot be shipped by airfreight etc! Many of us in UK rely on Chestnut for our finishes, great products. Cheers Roger

[@michaelmeredith721]

Probably Wood World of Texas.

[@duallygsd]

Thanks for the kind words. I have searched those companies and can only find a finishing wax and a series of spirit stains. If you can shoot me a link to the sanding sealers and top coats I would love to try the products.

[@Bawdsey64]

Hi Tim Chestnut products are available from believe it or not www.chestnutproducts.co.uk/ and he has three US dealers, one is Wood World of Texas. However none of the US resellers sell all the Chestnut products due to shipping restraints on certain types of liquid. I was in the wood working tool business and about 5 years back these stupid regulations came in to play and so I was no longer able to ship the best woodworking tool lubricant and rust protector called Dyna-Glide by airfreight. It is the best product for rust protection as it does not affect wood like some silicon based products. These regulations are the problem I think Terry the owner of Chestnut Products faces. It is a shame because it means American wood turners are deprived of products that most UK and European turners use. By the way a friend of mine, Peter, used your latest colouring techniques to finish a box he had turned which was modelled on a Cindy Drozda style. He borrowed my colours as I had picked them up at show recently so he had access to the iridescent colours you used. Peter only had one problem and that was on thinning the paint as we did not have any of the MagicFlo thinners although he will have by early next week. Keep the videos coming as we like to learn plus we enjoy your humour. Regards Roger

[@I-build-crafts]

Awesome camera positions. They really show the angle of the tool.

[@craftedworkshop]

Amazing work, Tim. Just got my first lathe and cannot wait to dig into your immense catalog.

[@sgsax]

Gorgeous piece! I was a big fan of your PBS show and am super-excited to find you again here. I'll be catching up and looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[@jmoonshine4223]

its alright to mess up... thats what makes it unique.

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

I cringed when you sprayed that beautiful wood with black paint, but the results are stunning, thanks for sharing.

[@jakemachado3612]

Maryke Dykhuizen it's better with the paint, the outcome is pretty cool

[@15marsj]

Maryke Dykhuizen I think he could've improved it a bit with a couple more coats and some wet sanding.

[@woodturningwithtimyoder]

Then it would have been a 2 hour show 😊

[@bassinbob1965]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. Thanks for taking your time to make and share this video.

[@Clovergirl143]

This platter is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing and for bearing through the cringe-worthiness of covering that gorgeous wood! :)

[@houseofcolourpostproductio2299]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make these for us all.

[@NealPilger]

Ahh, nice stuff. I've been hoping to rebuild the workshop (outside of general home carpentry), and now am after a lathe - haven't spun wood in over 20 years. Great collection of tutorials, thanks.

[@MatthewJBRO]

Tim, all is forgiven for using the spalted maple because the piece came out great.

[@bdemaree2672]

Turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@milagrostq]

Amazing Platter! Thank you for sharing.

[@leroy5007]

Beautiful bowl, Tim

[@strange-universe]

been watching your vids over the past 24 hours, enjoying your creative artistic touches being added.

[@danielrobinson6435]

I'm 15 and a wood turner, love your videos man

[@spudpud-T67]

I started turning at 15 too. That was 33 years ago.

[@tohall18]

That's awesome! I turned 16 less than a week ago. It's great to see youth turners out there!

[@daisyflowerchild3159]

I hope you young people appreciate that you have access to all these tools. It is such an expense to have to purchase, but a great investment when the time comes to start up your own shop. In the meantime, tell mom and dad thanks!

[@tohall18]

Actually, I bought my lathe and bandsaw all by myself. And I also buy all my wood. Parents don't do anything about woodworking. It's all me.

[@Freefallpilot65]

Buy your own shop too?

[@jdogg661420]

that last green spot you painted almost looked like flames/ghost flames which is pretty popular. to do this idk if you needed an airbrush. the blower you can put at end of air compressor to blow off your work space would probably work fine at low pressure. . but if you learn to airbrush you can do some crazy airbrushing on your wood. though that is another skill to learn.

[@christinalessard8301]

Tim, how would it look if you applied your "cosmic cloud" on top of that gorgeous grain of the maple? I would think your natural wood grain would add yet another layer on your already intriguing cosmic cloud... I would think it would be an amazing look.

[@EramarGaming]

I used to use that precise medium dilator with acrylic paints, in facts it has 2 effects on paint. 1- Exactly as you explained; it liquifies the paint. 2- It extends the drying time required for the paint to set It the combination of both effects that allows you to use that paint gun so extensively without drying your paint and creating undesired creases.

[@katiekoehlmoos6472]

Absolutely stunning.

[@junebug4ca]

Thank you for your helpful detailed information , i made my own and everyone wants one!

[@peepers4763]

Enjoying the explanation and the lack of repetitive music.

[@BlueDragon53]

Beautiful Piece Tim! The colors are awesome!

[@kennethdavison4936]

Great job Tim, I'll definitely will have to try this myself.

[@JimsonMakes]

A beautiful piece of art Tim. I love Gary Lowe's work, it has certainly made me think more about using colour. All the best, Jim

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Great embellishment techniques!

[@lauraw1973]

Going through a bunch of your videos today and this one really does remind me of Bob Ross. Happy cosmic clouds. No mistakes, just happy accidents.

[@uniqko]

Amazing skill

[@terrencepowell270]

I really like that! Will have to try. Thanks Tim.

[@hobbyturner6634]

Beautiful platter Tim!!

[@harlestojneheathantiques8895]

this man really loves gary

[@EverythingBallard]

i just found this channel and i am absolutely in love! great work tim!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TAG-1984]

Very beautiful platter Tim, i really enjoy your way of explaining aswell.

[@Christina-ih3wi]

Mesmerising, so beautiful, I want to try that 😊

[@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127]

The end result is pretty good, looks kind of like a Japanese antique.

[@adsepulcrum3392]

I am loving these videos

[@heidin2059]

I used to see you on the local pbs station and loved your show. Glad I found you on KZbin 🤗

[@ninemealsfromanarchy7803]

WOW! So beautiful!

[@sluttyBoysssssssss]

great job I would spray lacquer the top than 2000grit wet sad it on the lathe. probably ad some gold leaf also

[@ChrisWoodBandit]

Wow that is really beautiful.

[@derekpeterson8005]

Beautiful!! And I won't get into the stir sticks lol! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us!

[@medicbabe2ID]

I came here from Gary's channel. You guys are so talented! Beautiful work!

[@xmaslightsnz]

Great videos master Yoda..Now you have got me into something totally different with wood turning. Will be defintly trying this out one day soon. Its something unique and different..Thanks Tim...Ian from New Zealand

[@wcdonah]

Excellent video. After repeatedly looking at your video and all of the others on the same subject I feel that your last effort is the most attractive of all. I am in the process of making one and after viewing Hubble photos intend to add star patterns by randomly drilling small wholes around the rim. Hopefully when a gloss finish is applied they will sparkle and add a little pizzazz. Thanks for a fine video,

[@MCRMadness]

I just discovered your channel and have been mesmerized by all of your work. You are truly talented! This platter is simply stunning! Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Really cool technique!

[@Tommo158]

Absolutely amazing Tim! 😎😎. Your instruction is dead on mate, even an oldie who's a newbie turner can follow your steps. Thank you so much. On my way over to see Gary's channel now 🤠

[@USNMelDaria]

I wish I had a job like that!

[@lukask2476]

go get one ;-)

[@USNMelDaria]

I'd be fired. No experience! Lol!

[@lukask2476]

thats the spirit...

[@USNMelDaria]

I'm a Licensed practitioner so I'm good. Maybe I'll take it up as a hobby.

[@ajlendful]

Things can change, you can learn, you have almost infinite memory when it comes to things you enjoy. Please don't give up just because you have no experience - getting experienced is one of the fun parts.

[@icespeckledhens]

Its a lovely platter and the colour enhances it. I think, possibly, a colour other than black might be worth a try, as black tends to kill other colours. thanks

[@Woodden]

All I can say is WOW!!

[@iRReligious]

Very beautiful things you make!

[@cyc4ctk92]

Thanks for the inspiration I’m on my way to doing it myself

[@colcot50]

Beautiful effect, thanks for the video

[@ErikAnderson1]

Great video Tim I may just give that a try.

[@thefriendlygrizzley6728]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@Brassknucklez]

that flow aid joke made me subscribe, funny stuff :D wish i had a place to do woodturning, used to love turning bowls when i was in school

[@alaricmedlock6833]

Very cool! I really enjoy, and always learn a lot from your vids! Thanks!

[@jaywoodson2231]

you are a great artist

[@janea5898]

Wow. Beautiful

[@Remnaut]

Love the video, very relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@marneysmithies8558]

awesome, a use for my husbands airbrush LoL thanks for another great video!

[@johnmay3266]

WOW!. New viewer to your channel and I'm a subscriber.Ive never done a platter before. You take it to an entirely new level.

[@gilgrace1915]

I assume the air brush is used for better control, but I think one could use a regular air gun(for cleaning parts etc.) for a similar effect. Of course with the air pressure turned way down as you did for the air brush.

[@berry186]

Gorgeous.

[@nadthedine]

Awesome! would love to buy it! Fantastic!!!!

[@heikelphoto]

Paint on wood is a cardinal sin! But if you have to paint (and I must say I would have backed out of the last part of this project after seeing the wood), I have to say, this is pretty cool! Thanks for broadening my horizons!

[@thecrafthacker4795]

wow!!! Stunning!!

[@Ronalcock1]

Nice one Tim, love it. Ron in the UK

[@day1xboxone320]

Looks great!

[@valeriescraftyattic3337]

What an amazing piece, it's absolutely stunning. I've just been given some Jo Sonja paints for my birthday so can't wait to give this method a try.
