Well Mike, you’ve done it again. You’ve made me scratch my head and say,” how in the world does he think of these ideas?” Wood turning is a craft all by itself with a fairly specific skill set, the creativity that adds to that is something entirely different. I love the lamp sir. Thank you for reminding me repeatedly why I am a fan of Mike Holtons work.

It's important to note that silicone doesn't like to touch other silicone. They WILL melt each other. The second you put the silicone sealer on the silicone mat my brain went "that mat isn't surviving this project." I hope it was no big loss.

I was quite disappointed when you started to work with resin - I'd just found your channel and really liked that you go into an artistic process with the piece of the tree you had chosen and didn't do that fancy mainstream stuff. And now this! Shows perfectly that it doesn't matter what someone does but how. And a perfect demonstration of you being not only a woodworker but a great artist! Thank you so much for this beautiful lesson to take up the trend, think about the possibilities and advantages, combine with your craft, your thoughts and imagination to take the trend to another level. ❤

Hello Mike, I do like the fact that you are not daunted by potential problems and use any that arise both constructively, positively and with great imagination. The consequential outcome in this instance is a truly beautiful and practical item that would fit into any type of decor - and makes me feel rather envious. However, I now think you should open that bottle of wine you used for demonstration purposes and have a celebratory snifter from it. On the “gloves on, gloves off” situation - you are the person dealing with whatever you are faced with. Going with what you think is appropriate - and safe - is always going to be the best decision you can make.
@MikeHolton
@MikeHolton 4 ай бұрын
Thanks so much Angela, if I liked wine I would have opened the bottle years ago but I do appreciate the sentiment. The internet has a group of keyboard warriors who just love to point out everything you do wrong, sometimes it is a heartfelt concern, other times it's because they enjoy it. I said what I said to get them to back off for at least one video lol. All the best, Mike 😀

Very well done. As you said, a big challenge. Very happy the piece held together. I was surprised how much the resin colours mixed. So difficult to get the resin to go into all the nooks and crannies. A very nice result and piece of art. If you do another one, consider a flickering style LED. Some LED tea lights have a flickering effect when lit. I think the flickering would look good inside the resin. You mastered sealing the resin this time. Dave.

This is such a cool design. Even if I know you were going for a honeycomb look, it also could pass for faceted crystal glass from a distance 👍

Hey Mike, that is Far Out. To use the language of the 60’s. Remarkable work and a Fantastic Lamp! Have you thought of a translucent band at the bottom to soften the light? This would have sold in the High End Head Shops of London! Big money of the day! Far Out Man!

Thanks so much Larry, I do have a diffuser to put over the led with may help but it was not as bright as it looks in the video. 😀
