Hi John, This video could not have come at a better time for me. I have been turning for nearly 2 years and have never coloured any of my work, too apprehensive if I'm honest of ruining the piece, but your video was so well presented I will give this a go. No disrespect to MG Makes, whose video I watched the other day, and enjoyed on colouring, but your video explained it in ABC format for the absolute beginner in colouring, ME! Thank you very much and I look forward to the other videos. Cheers, Huw

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Huw. That is so great to hear you found the video useful.Would love to hear how you get on.

[@huwdavies5264]

@@JohnClothier Will do John, Cheers, Huw

Thanks John very interesting to know how to use colour techniques, looking forward to this series. 🍺😎🖖

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Chris. Glad you like them. Ps. I'll be going to the post office this week. Sorry for the delay

[@christopherbingham8200]

John Clothier no worries John will look forward to them arriving 👍

[@DaveGDesigns]

JC it doesn't seem to matter how many times I've seen you do this it never gets old. As you know I have picked up a lot of these techniques from you in the past but I know there's still so much to learn and improve on. I think this will make a great series of videos especially if I'm in one lol. Seriously good job fella

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Dave. Glad that what I do is useful to you. You never know!!

[@DaveGDesigns]

👌🏻

[@gordonchapman222]

I like the way you don't just 'slap the colour on - job done', but as well as the technical side of applying the coats, there is actual a lot of room for artistic input. I'm guessing in this episode you put on the laquer to quickly show off the finish and maybe in future episodes you'll explain a few different finishes? Another great vidio, thanks for sharing John 👍

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Gordon. That is exactly right. Colouring is all about applying an artistic element. You look at what is there and build on it. Yes the lacquer was just a quick finish. I hadn't thought about different finishes. Maybe I'll do a video on that too

[@stewartfurini]

Great series idea, John. And great to see this being so well received. Nice job!

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Stewart!

[@missteeturns]

Good demonstration John. 🙂

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Miss Tee

[@CollinFrench]

Great vid, thanks John!

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Collin. Glad you liked it

[@WoodyWood]

Thanks John great demo one thing I would like you to do is the same sort of thing but with the air brush.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Graham. Yep it's on my list.

[@alanmullock381]

[@jamescone6359]

Happy Thanksgiving from Arizona

[@PaulLockwood]

Interesting series John. Really enjoy seeing all the processes and different explanations. One little tip on the drying. If you don't have a hair dryer then using the air line will also really speed up drying time.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Paul. Great tip. I've done that with methys before but never thought to do it with colour! Thanks

[@MGMakes]

You make it look so easy pal. I am looking forward to the rest of this series, with my notebook at the ready. 👊👊👊

[@JohnClothier]

Lol thanks buddy.

[@julienkeegan9375]

I realize I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online?

[@luccasutton444]

@Julien Keegan i watch on Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@rogeliokannon8153]

@Lucca Sutton Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)

[@julienkeegan9375]

@Lucca Sutton thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !!

[@Highlandboxes]

Really great video john thank you so much for sharing :-)

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Pam. Glad you like it 😁

[@Mac2474]

Good choice for a mini series John, looking forward to the next one. My problem is I'm not colour blind but rather colour ignorant, that is to say I have no idea what colours go together or compliment each other 🥺

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Mac. Ok well you will want to keep checking out the series because that is one of the things I plan to cover

[@barrycook4690]

Thanks John more new tricks for an old dog 😉

[@JohnClothier]

Lol thanks Barry

[@music4sherry]

Thanks John . Really looking forward to the rest of this series. I think your editing is a bit sharper as well.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks John. Funny you say that. I didn't think I had put as much effort into the editing this time. Maybe I've been trying too hard lol

[@lyndalanthony635]

I don't do dyes any more because of the fading. I use acrylics. Acrylics aren't anywhere near as messy either.

[@JohnClothier]

Ill take a look thanks

[@medievalbiker]

Hi Have you tried using watered down inks as a background I have found that using a watered down black will enhance any grain in the wood and make it more prominent .

[@JohnClothier]

No I havent. I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip

[@SirBenJamin_]

I tried applying some Chestnut stain to a Pine turned box and it looked horrendous. The softer grain between the rings soaked up all the colour, and the rings not so much. I take it Pine is not a good use case?

[@JohnClothier]

Pine is not a great wood for working with. However, you could use this to your advantage and let the rings soak up a colour and then apply some oil. When done sand back and you could get an interesting effect.

[@jonaeflure]

Hi John! Great tutorial! I was wonder...What kind are you using in the spray bottles?

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks! Glad you like it. I use the intrinsic colours from Hampshire sheen

[@jamescone6359]

Are you kidding

[@JohnClothier]

Are you making a pointless comment?
