Maple Clouds

[@JayBates]

I was trying to think of something clever to say but I've got nothing.. Speechless. Thanks for 8 minutes away from reality.

[@frankmakes]

Thanks Jay, ok back to work

[@10antba]

+frank howarth don't let Jays inability to come up with something clever to say cloud your judgement of him.

[@KSFWG]

I was the same way, Jay. I'm just speechless.

[@davidplance8947]

I see what you did there.... ;)

[@robh1227]

Nailed it. Beautiful film, Frank.

[@Quitenice]

These videos are not wood working videos anymore, they are work of art

[@treverh.4129]

One could argue that wood working is art. His art is just elevated above the average. Hes so talented.

[@kaden56]

If he keeps this work up he'll known world wide as the coolest woodworker/videographer of all time.

[@dagwood1327]

Isn't he already known for that? I think so.

[@fuentestorresfranciscojavi4060]

I agree with David, he alreadi is

[@airforce9872]

the worlds first woodeographker

[@TheWoodKnight]

Often you tell a wonderful story with words interlaced with video, and this time you chose just imagery and sound. A great example how above anything else, you're a great storyteller with or without words. Very enjoyable Frank.

[@JasonPatz]

Your video production has become its own work of art.

[@LucasHartmann]

I just can't decide what is more artistic : your pieces or your videos. Awesome work!

[@kblaylock9244]

I second that! Amazing work!

[@skik210]

Coudnt agree more - both are incredible. I'd love to know how he did some of the pans while keeping it look like stop motion.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Daamn. There is so much to love in this video. Awesome job Frank, of course the bowl is beautiful but the video was amazing. High five.

[@VampireOnline]

Wow Frank that was amazing. Amazing video and as a someone who is soon to be married an amazing wedding gift. I never thought a woodworking video would bring me to tears, but that was just beautiful.

[@DerAngeloMerte]

i dont write comments that often, but this editing, bowl, sounds ( like the bibubibubibu of the red part at 2:20.. i was cracking lol) , musoc choice and your camera angles are PERFECT!!!! I love and i always will love your videos frank! you are the first person who got me interested in wood and working with it!! thanks for all your follower from germany!

[@jackreno12]

Even two years later your blend of craftsmanship and cinematography is a class of its own. Amazing.

[@briantaylor9266]

Beautiful bowl. Great music, and thanks for providing the credits, but I think I miss the narration. You have a great voice and manner of speaking.

[@frankmakes]

Thank you

[@willemkossen]

Aeesome

[@dblehar]

second that

[@JonNgwisha]

yes

[@mstevens7175]

Nothing wrong with changing things up a little. I think this was beautiful.

[@BillVanLoo]

Frank, your work is always amazing, but this one elevates it to a new level (no cloud pun intended!). Between the craftsmanship with the traditional woodshop tools, the digital piece with your CNC, and the video production (stop motion, timelapse, camera movement, and storytelling), I was continually blown away.

[@parkwayplaza6082]

i really can't understand why this video isnt going viral already.. this is the most beautiful video on KZbin. really.

[@frankmakes]

+JiWung Shin Thanks

[@VibrationsfromMirror]

I happened on this video from a "cloud being" search ) Blown away, and very cool effects! Will be sharing your talent with others. Do you have a website, Mr. Howarth? Have you done any group workshops? Your creations are amazing! Thank You for showing us what a strong mind, soft eyes, and big machinery can create. ~ In Awe and Inspiration! ~

[@Fritschge128]

The time and effort you put not only in your woodworking, but also in the production of your videos is simply remarkable! Thank you Frank!

[@MonacoMike]

OMG !!! What a GREAT production ... your bowl AND the video! I think I have gotten addicted to your videos and am starting to have withdraw symptoms waiting to see your next one :-). Your overhead camera boom appears to be working out well and I see you've found a way now to move it around in your shop. God Bless and keep up your great work with your amazing talent. Saying sharing your work is greatly appreciated is a real understatement.

[@frankmakes]

Thanks. the boom hangs off the french cleat so it has a lot of mobility.

[@MonacoMike]

Just off the wall? It looked like in a couple of places you were quite a way from a wall and that you might have had it hanging from something over head. I'm so enthralled with your stop motion video that I've been wanting to attempt to try and do something like that myself but I've been procrastinating about it for well over a month now LOL. Still trying to figure out how to have my little storage boxes that I want to make a video about, climb in or out of my camera bag without me being visible..

[@DoubleDTVx2]

+MrGrunthunter's Adventures he did! He made a fantastic video about it, you should check it out 😊

[@Renville80]

Frank, you truly are an artist, both in your creativity with wood, and how you share that creativity with the world. May you never run out of inspiration.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

The effort and skill that went into this project and video blow my mind!

[@DawidCiecierski]

Can't even begin to imagine how many hours you spent setting up, recording and editing but your hard work provided us with something even more special than usual... thank you!

[@christiantmyhre]

Wow, wow wow wow. This is the most beautiful film I've watch on YT! Perfection.

[@patrickeveleigh6007]

This feels very avant garde of you Frank. Experimental woodworking, experimental camera work, experimental editing, etc.

[@Saareem]

I can only imagine the time it took to create this video. Only the bowl would take quite some time but add all the video making and editing and it's suddenly enough work for several days. These videos are art in itself let alone the bowl. Terrific!

[@tuckeni1]

Always a special treat when Frank puts up a new video. Just amazing to watch not only the work working skills, but also the video skills. Mini pieces of art work unto themselves. Thanks Frank!!!

[@MajidAlQassimi]

Hey Frank you really pushed the boundary here and so glad to see all of the hard work of your previous videos come together in another great story and gorgeous piece!!!! Hats off to you sir.

[@livedeliciously]

There's a lot of woodworking channels on KZbin, but Frank's videography is consistently superb. This video is one of the best I've ever seen.

[@CheveeDodd]

Love the style. I missed your voice a bit, but it's done so well that I was mesmerized the whole time.

[@ismailparekh6162]

Chevee Dodd I

[@gordroberts53]

For me, what makes your videos so special is how I feel after watching. No matter how good I feel at the beginning, I'm left feeling even better at the end. Truly wonderful works of art, thank you.

[@SJWoodworks]

Frank, you make the rest of us look like amateurs. Very nice video.

[@maurocioffi]

The dedication and the care you put in every aspect of your work are an inspiration for everyone.

[@jeremyedwards5950]

frank, absolutely the best videography on Woodturning and woodworking I've seen. keep it up! Jeremy

[@holzhandwerk_ak]

Frank, this is a double piece of art: The bowl and the video. Wow, wow, wow. Thanks for sharing!

[@Rootcauses451]

Master piece Frank! Me and my wife got the video on the big TV with our morning coffee and just meditated on your art. That orbiting rig really adds so much dimension to your videos but the entire production is flawless. Such a pleasure to watch.

[@micfey]

This time you've outdone yourself, Frank! I can only imagine how much work you must have put into editing all those pieces of video. Awesome work!

[@robvining2032]

Just subscribed, can't say enough about the combination of cinematography and woodworking in combination. Such a great job showing the creation of such a beautiful piece!

[@silvsevie]

The stop-motion animation in between the woodworking is amazing just like the artistry of the woodworking. SIr, my respects.

[@Ollaris]

Just Blown Away! Brilliant Movie Frank!

[@EldonSchoop]

This truly has to be one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen on KZbin -- the narrative, the work itself, and the relationship between the work, the film, and yourself. Bravo!

[@CptFUBAR]

Holy cow that was AMAZING! I mean, not just the final product but the whole episode! As an aspiring video producer I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a behind the scene explanation on how you got those shots!

[@TheJackDakota]

Truly amazing, the couple will cherish this gift for years! Nice job Frank!

[@_synthicyde]

Honestly, please submit this to some film festivals. This is amazing.

[@GeraldLeenerts]

I just love how you tell the story. It's a story about process but the final product is about laying down and enjoying the world around you which is also a story, and different for each person.

[@SyberPrepper]

Gorgeous work and video. I'm guessing large number of hours doing the editing, but setting up the shots must have made the project go that much slower. Love to see you pushing yourself to new levels. Very inspiring.

[@MrPanthers23]

I can't imagine the amount of time and effort it took to make this video. it's an honor to watch it. Thanks for posting it

[@Extile00]

Your editing skills are insane good job Frank!

[@matthewrusso1350]

Frank, your creativity in your projects and the editing of your videos is amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us all!

[@uknowulikethat4042]

Frank does it hurt being that good?

[@samritte]

i don't know what I'm in awe of most, the craftsmanship of the filmography or the craftsmanship that went into making the bowl, either way i love you blend of new age and old age techniques to make both

[@CarlJacobson]

Wow! That was amazing a joy to watch!

[@fabricioqui]

Amazing! My favourite in all these years watching your videos!!! Very tripy, yet skilled and poetic!!! Thank you!!!

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

That's one beautiful bowl, Frank. I also loved the video, you floated over the floor, that looked awesome.

[@TheWuppi5]

Once again, a masterpiece is made by one of the most inspiring woodworkers. Thanks for showing.

[@TheBigBigBlues]

This video and that bowl are a masterpiece.

[@das.gurren]

My mind boggles at how much work must have gone into this! Amazing!

[@Wolsk]

Wow, Frank, you've really outdone yourself with this video. The stop motion is outstanding, the spinning crane shots are really clean and enjoyable, and the bowl itself is interestingly detailed. I'd imagine that the filming and editing of this took 3x longer than the project itself, although it all came out amazingly. :p

[@maxnagler]

Frank you are literally the Marty Scorsese of the KZbin woodworking community. Please don't ever stop creating! Bravo!!

[@1954BJohn]

Incredible camera work Frank! - As impressive as the fantastic bowl

[@orvsr4me2]

I also enjoy the narrative but I think this may be my favorite video yet. It's mind blowing how much work you put into the things we don't first see. Thanks Frank for the inspiration.

[@JustinDepew]

Best video you've ever made!

[@RizSharif]

In the past week i have seen almost all your videos. I am totally addicted to watching you make anything and everything. I am 35 and for some reason i have never come across woodworking and i find it soo damn interesting. I have gathered some tools already and am in the process of sourcing a lathe and a jointer and planer to start off with in my small room in my garden i am setting up a small workshop to spend my spare time in this new hobby/venture. Anything to do with wood i find very warm and satisfying for some reason and i am glad i have come across this stuff although a little late in life...

[@furtim1]

You just posted this today and, already, people have spent a cumulative 138 days watching this footage. Super nice bowl.

[@JonnyFellOver]

This is probably the best-edited KZbin video I have ever seen. I don't even want to think about how long this would've taken to plan, and then execute. Truly Brilliant!

[@allanperret8859]

Absolutely Amazing ! Both the design/execution of the piece and the video production. Just curious, if this was a commissioned piece, what value would you put on it ?

[@frankmakes]

Wedding gift.

[@Xaqaria]

I fully expect to see this on Antiques Roadshow, with the expert/presenter taking about this being from the generation that first started mixing the art of design with the art of video presentation. Their authentication work will be easier, assuming KZbin is still around :)

[@salvaavlas5757]

+frank howarth for me, this video is also a part of the wedding gift!

[@johnrharper3107]

OK so I'm three years late watching this, but only just discovered your work, only been an aficionado of bowl turning for a few weeks, but by far and wide your videos and imagination are the best seen to date. Pure professionalism.

[@WoodByWright]

so cool! I wonder if you could rig up a camera to take one frame of footage for every revolution of the lathe so the video would make it look like it is not spinning at all.

[@red_freckle]

Since applying the tool to the workpiece actually slows down the lathe a bit I think it would be virtually impossible to keep the frame rate in sync with the lathe's rpms. At least without some piece of dedicated software. Look up "Peter Brown strobe light" on KZbin, it's pretty awesome.

[@WoodByWright]

I have seen that. it is cool. to time it you would have to rig something up to the shaft to signal the image.

[@red_freckle]

Yeah that's what I was picturing.

[@Samuel-uh5uc]

Or even mount a camera on it!

[@lufferov]

To add to that, the lathe rotates at such a high rpm that the shutter speed would need to be REALLY fast to remove and blurring. So you'd need a LOT of light too!

[@ZebranoWoodCraft]

I love all those time lapse shots and the stop motion animations! They're so entertaining to watch and such an inspiration!!

[@CaptainHandlebar]

Your videos are awesome! How long does a project like that take? Including camera set up and editing?

[@frankmakes]

+Captain Handlebar 3 weeks ish

[@CaptainHandlebar]

frank howarth well you know how to make one heck of a video!

[@RickyLee53]

3 weeks of evenings and weekends or is this your full time job?

[@ralphvanthoff]

One may, or may not like the finished product, but I really admire your passion, creativity and work you put into these productions! Keep up the great work Frank!

[@krtwood]

Just one more cloud and then it's done. I really mean it this time.

[@bakerbec]

Brilliant film, brilliant bowl. As always, a pleasure to watch you work. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

This is so good I just peed a little

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

in stop motion

[@frankmakes]

lol

[@arnt-erikhansen421]

Not only do you make some of the most creative and beautiful items, your videos are entertaining beyond imagination. Thanks for yet another fantastic 8 minutes!

[@xBeauGaming]

8 people need to understand the beauty in motion more....

[@MrEzuk]

Amazingly masterful. Everything about this video is amazing -- the woodworking, the cinematography, the soundtrack. Such an artist. Mind blowing.

[@specialk22tt]

How does Frank only have 267k subscribers?!?

[@InstrucTube]

Because some people can't recognize a good thing when they see it. Same reason Izzy Swan only has 293,488, or Matthew Cremona only has 67,665. Heck, Jay Bates is awesome too and he's only got a couple more than Frank does at 267,915.

[@TidusleFlemard]

I only just started getting into woodworking stuffs, that's my only defense for not knowing him :D

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

I loved the way you combined the low framerate with the stop motion. Really tied the whole thing together. Also, that bowl is amazing, absolutely gorgeous!

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Not enough adjectives for this one!

[@stampenrangers]

This is a new level of film making. No one gets second place...or third. Thank you Frank!

[@jamiecoop]

The time, ideas, techniques and skill that went into making this. Wow.

[@1Height55]

Pure magic! Whenever I have kids they'll watch this instead of Disney, awesome video. I feel like the bowl wouldn't have been complete without this masterpiece!

[@jcjenningsWV]

Wow, just wow Frank. As if the bowl wasn't beautiful on its own you have taken us on a creative journey through the process that shows another beautiful aspect of the creative process. Wow.

[@MG7712]

Speechless. What a masterpiece, Frank you have outdone yourself and raised the bar for this genre. Thank you sir.

[@benstafford6750]

Thanks Frank, inspirational video and beautiful work! A moment of serenity while my two year old plays with his grandparents!! ☺

[@shaneharvey1026]

One of the most enjoyable KZbin experiences I’ve had in months. Fantastic on many fronts.

[@frankmakes]

Awesome!

[@BruceAUlrich]

The bowl is stunning. The video is stunning. Both are truly a work of art! I think my mouth was agape the entire time.

[@JBLewis]

Wow! I love that despite all being cut from the same piece of stock, the clouds seem to take on individual character and coloration. I wish I could give this video, and the bowl, more than one like!

[@nickgale]

This is AMAZING! you are a genius - I'm not sure what is more remarkable: the making of the bowl, or the planning and production of the video! bravo!

[@prosen426]

Truly Frank, the usual quality of your videos is excellent. This one is on another level. I have watched all of them, several times. This one is by far the best. Congratulations.

[@TheJvb123]

This is the best woodworking channel on KZbin. Great stuff as always, Frank. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.

[@CitizenApollo]

Incredible. I can't imagine how much work went in to just the production of this video.

[@Joltinjess5]

You were meant to do this. The woodworking, the video production, everything. It's so good.

[@somasmith]

YOU are a national treasure, Frank. It just keeps getting better an better. Truly amazing.

[@joness11ut]

I had to pause this video at 6:00 and just envy/marvel at the juxtaposition of the view of green trees out the window and the wood shop interior. What a place to do work(? play?) in.

[@KastleMeyer]

Absolutely beautiful. Your work emanates an art and patience of Japanese master craftsmanship. Your videos are as engaging as they are relaxing! Thank you for allowing us to watch you tinker.

[@earlye]

The amount of time and effort your put into your productions is astonishing and inspiring. I may not be filming my efforts, but I wanted to say that I deeply appreciate you standing as a reminder that we can do great things, if we press our brains, bodies, and tools into service. Thank you.

[@LeeEarly1]

I don't know if I am more impressed with the wood working or the photography

[@davidmurphy9151]

This may be the finest woodworking video I have ever seen.

[@chaeairsoft]

Truly unique. Man I love this guy, don’t even know him, yet he seems like such a genuine, humble, human being

[@facundonunez2358]

Frank each time i see you, you step a nocth, love your films, from the start make a engaging flow of event, from your exceptional craft of woodworking and filming. Send love from Argentine.

[@busterbox]

Frank, your production values are just amazing. I don't even know how you did half of these shots. Incredible. The bowl looks absolutely tremendous as well. Great work!

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

A joy to watch, really. You made the bowl as a gift, but we all get the gift of the video.

[@JimG31547]

Frank, Great project resulting in a beautiful bowl. Thank you for taking your time to video and share with everyone. Jim
