Kaleidoscope Burl

[@ShlisaShell]

That really _is_ and "eggcelent" idea. I'm going to try and fins a kaleidoscope kit for myself.

[@ShlisaShell]

Found the kaleidoscope kit wood turning and bought one. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I love kaleidoscopes. This one is so cool. The burl is beautiful.

[@chetnash5991]

That finish sure did make your work POP! Nice job!

[@TheMadComputerScientist1787]

Another wow project. I've had many Kaleidoscopes in my 62 years, but that's next level cool.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated! 😊

[@suepeterson5675]

Mr H , you brought back some good happy memories making this. Thank you. Blessings to you .👍👍😊

[@sandragutierrez3667]

That is so brilliant and at the same time very authentic. Your designs are always wonderful to watch as you are creating them. ❤😊

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much 😊

[@awesomecarsforever]

Absolutely wonderful work my friend. Nothing like looking into a kaleidoscope. Enjoyed watching. See ya soon Brother!!☕️☕️

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...man...there is nothing quite like burled wood...that looks awesome! Well done, my friend...👍 Matt

[@RHumphrey]

Pretty special stuff, right? Thank you!

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning to you. A wonderful day to view a kaleidoscope. Getting a camera to view the wonderment is an art in it self. Watching the wood take shape then pop when applying the finish, perfect. As a young boy, I had my eye focused on the everchanging cool designs of a kaleidoscope. Keep moving forward.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, brother! Simple but fun, plus I found a perfect little chunk of burl for it and still was able to save enough of it for a couple pens. I've always loved kaleidoscopes... Semper Fi

[@rayworstine4399]

Two pens, a definite bonus.​@@RHumphrey

[@janeoverby2151]

Oh, how pretty! I love kildoscopes even now as an adult. The beauty of the wood is the highlight of the piece.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much! (I do too!)

[@oldesertguy9616]

I could decorate an entire house with all the cool stuff you make. That is next-level cool.

[@RHumphrey]

Very kind of you to say! Thanks so much!

[@jnol9009]

Very cool project Rod! That burl is just amazing. Well done. Thanks and take care.

[@kathrynseaman6482]

had one as a kid, played with it all the time

[@johnbuerger6579]

I logged a lot of hours as a kid staring into a kaleidoscope. Nice job.

[@RoseMargareth-n1m]

I saw the word kaleidoscope and was like - Yes! Haven't been much onto your YTs...

[@RHumphrey]

I had one as a kid too, if I recall correctly it was a cardboard tube with a twist end... super simple yet so much fun! 😊

[@RoseMargareth-n1m]

We don't have any kits here in the third world... They are so much fun.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Cool 👍👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you!

[@jilldavies7094]

I know it's small, but it's one of the loveliest things I've seen you make. Such beautiful graining, such a lovely tactile shape. My grandparents had a wondrous Victorian kaleidoscope when I was a child. It was triangular and covered in gunmetal leather. As a great treat I would be allowed to use it and I can still remember the feeling of lying on the sofa, the tube pointing upwards as I slowly turned the bottom section round and round. Such indescribably wonderful snowflake patterns forming and reforming in endless delight. Thank you, Rod, for the memories.

[@darlouthia5153]

What a beautiful, original and clever object ! An elegant gift for sure ❤

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! 😊

[@BipDuncan-cb2zi]

That burl is beautiful

[@RHumphrey]

Perfect little chunk for this project, it has a lot going on 😊

[@paulrapp6]

Beautiful, Rod, just beautiful! Keep the aspidistra flying! Semper fi. God bless, Paul

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Paul!

[@jackthompson5092]

Beautiful kaleidoscope Rod.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!

[@BlitzkriegAP]

Nice proper use of that table saw

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks! Simple cuts, but the tall blade increased my caution.

[@adill2171]

Outstanding! Thank you.

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Beautiful kaleidoscope, Rod. 😊

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!

[@maddieadams75]

[@RHumphrey]

[@elenin.3228]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much!

[@bobbyshelton8781]

It looks great. Thanks

[@williamellis8993]

Really neat, Rod. I've never seen a kit like that before. Bill

[@cookiescoop6065]

Very beautiful sir have a great weekend ✌️

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, you too!

[@glencrandall7051]

My, what a pretty little burl. It made up into a very nice little kaleidoscope. I hope what ever was keeping you from talking is better soon. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@RHumphrey]

I'm afraid it cannot get better, it's beyond that, but I appreciate your encouragement. Thank you, my friend.

[@glencrandall8334]

I am very sorry to hear that. I dearly hope you are getting the best care.❤❤

[@Smallathe]

Very nice and a near idea!!

[@markduggan3451]

Stunning.

[@richarddoan9249]

Great job!!!

[@rebasmirnov7507]

Lovely

[@jarmstrong2843]

That's purdy neat, Rod. I have looked at some kelidoscope kits from Penn State, but never bought one. Guess I will need to buy one in the future. However, I am still looking for chickens that lay eggs with holes through them.😂 Every time I put an egg into the lathe, it cracks!😮 Nice one, Rod!! Semper fi

[@RHumphrey]

I'm not sure I bought it there, but maybe... You're comment makes me want to turn an omelet for breakfast... Semper Fi!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Love it Rod. Gorgeous piece of Burr. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw Ps You said No Talking , but I definitely heard "OOOH Hot" LOL.

[@samwyz69]

I love it!

[@Kirstalyn272]

Pretty cool!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@_MadFox]

Давно забытое детство... Спасибо, что напомнили👍

[@RHumphrey]

ты, и я, одни и те же воспоминания! спасибо!

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

Fiddly or not, the results are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your creative vision. John 3:17 NIV - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!

[@alansimpson596]

Beautiful piece of wood and great turning Rod. I like that kit very much so I must try and find a source. The only negative is that we miss the rich tone of your voice - you should have your own radio programme (correct spelling).

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, my friend! Very kind of you to say. No voice to speak with at the moment... I do appreciate that though! It is interesting how our spelling differs with the older and well-established English of the UK and her commonwealth. Email forthcoming! Package received late yesterday!! WOW!!!

[@alansimpson596]

@@RHumphrey Thank you Rod. As you know I live in Ireland and we know how to spell words proper🙂 So glad the package has arrived.

[@CDRowe1]

I really enjoy all your videos, but I was really ‘nervous’ watching you cut down that burl on your table saw. It looked (and was) incredibly risky to do it that way (in my opinion). Please make a small sled for your saw to do that kind of work,

[@RHumphrey]

I appreciate your thoughts. I do have a few sleds ready for use but figured they weren't needed. I was pretty safe. No chance of fingers getting pulled into the blade because I used the fence as a guide/stopper for my right hand, and my left hand was never over the blade while using the push stick. Still, an abundance of caution is never a bad thing, and you aren't wrong. Thanks!

[@glennmoreland6457]

Good ☹️🇬🇧

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Hey Rod, Don’t know why you stopped making videos on this channel? But I miss them! Peace ✌️
