Woodturning | The Jade Brick Bowl

Hello, friends!
Come check out our brand new shop launch! formanwoodworking.com/
_____________________________________
After how much everyone enjoyed my first brick bowl, I just had to try another. This time, I set the bricks running around the circumference of the bowl by gluing them to a wooden core before pouring in the green epoxy resin. Had a bit of a nerve-wracking moment when I began mixing the resin, as you'll see in the video. Normally, you can expect your hardener to have a slight yellow tint to it as it ages, but this was REALLY yellow. I had not no idea whether it was going to cure or just ruin all the hard work I'd already put into making the blank. It all ended well, though! After turning it down, I finished the piece with Waterlox's original gloss. What do you think?

This is honestly one of the coolest concepts for a bowl design that I've ever seen.

[@SteelyEyedH]

I was just about to say ^^ amazing

[@wetube6513]

Not good for soup.

Me too.

DITTO!!!

[@shoryuken9520]

The bowl is pure eye candy, as if the bricks floats by ancient magic. 10/10🤌

[@kimberlynalda]

Not only is the one of the most gorgeous bowls that I have ever seen, THANK YOU for not playing loud an annoying and distracting music while doing it. This is a work of art and the video well produced. Well done!

[@davidg5506]

I've been going down the woodturning rabbithole recently and this the best video production I've come across. The way you clearly present each step in the process and then move on really breaks up the monotony woodturning videos can suffer from. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, David, for the very nice comment!!

[@DarkD112]

Keep in mind, he's also skipping all the steps that would let you replicate this at home. There are little tricks that would keep bubbles from forming in that glue he's using. That's just what I can spot off the top of my head. It's far from an instructional video.

love the 3D effect, beautiful result.

Thank you, Daniel! I appreciate the kind words!

That’s real 3d not an effect haha.

[@danielrivard9335]

@@travisvarga1659 You are right! I stand corrected ;-)

[@BeccaP007]

Appreciate all the different camera angles! Stuff like this helps me sleep, I mean this in the best way possible. We’ve heard of easy listening, I call this easy watching; no chatter, just wood working, epoxy pouring vibes. Love it.

[@formanwoodworking]

Thanks, Rebecca, glad you liked it! And I think I know exactly what you mean. I got into this precisely from watching turning videos late at night before bed. They help me sleep too!

[@deborahenderson1395]

It is hypnotic.

[@Katrina9T9T]

Me too!! I need videos like this to switch off before bed. And of course meant in the best way possible, these videos are so relaxing and calming it sends me off to sleep with ease Thank you for the serene content!

[@lilbullet158]

Send you back to the medieval days with your skills and those materials and you would be creating Entire Cathedrals. *Fantastic craftsmanship*

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you so much!

@@formanwoodworking Many years ago my late father, god rest his soul, had a large plastering & floor laying company & I ended up serving a 5 year apprenticeship, the last two focusing more on advanced work such as creating Fibrous Ionic, Doric and Corinthian columns and cornice work, et cetera, working in conjunction with carpenters and I've seen many highly skilled tradesmen in my day. Sadly those days have long gone, though my ability to recognise Talent when I see it remains and you Sir surpass the level of a Tradesman you are a True 'Artist'. And an Exceptional one.

[@radamus210]

Man, I see a lot of turning stuff on YT, and beauty is all in the eye of the beholder, but once in a while one will stand out, and this one hits me that way. Nice.

A lot of YT woodturning videos are fun to watch because it's challenging to make, but you wouldn't buy the end result. This one is actually gorgeous. Something that M.C. Escher would find lovely.

Final piece looks so incredible! Amazing work!

[@paintcandan5972]

my favorite part is when the tool goes quiet and shoots out one long beautiful strand of resin. so satisfying. great choice using clear resin; the drop shadows give this piece so much depth that would have otherwise been lost with more opaque pigments

Thank you so much! And that's my favourite part too :)
