One Woodturning to Rule Them All !

[@OlivierGomis]

Before you write your comment saying the inscriptions are upside down, go rewatch the freaking films. Or do a simple google image search if you don't have 10 hours to spare. To the rest of you with your kind comments, I can't respond to everyone but THANK YOU. I appreciate it.

[@joycealilain3878]

I still dont get why people say the writings are upside down, I've seen the films, and even if you don't have the free time to watch them, a simple search here on KZbin can show you the scene with the ring on it and the engravings on this wonderful lamp are same when Sauron was wearing it and when Frodo was holding it up. Either way, love the design, love the dedication in making it, just love the whole thing.

I know this is an older video, but I just cannot leave without a comment. The fact that you did all the script with a handheld router has officially blown my mind! I know you have great talent, but this one is absolutely amazing!

[@4wheelliving132]

Before I watched the video I figured he must have somehow used a cnc machine

[@radamus210]

@@4wheelliving132 I watched it just to see how he CNC machined it - Freehand router? He made it look so easy people will think anyone can freehand script with a router - Hard to explain it's like riding a unicycle on ice, best I could think of.

[@OlivierGomis]

@@radamus210 The key is to hold the router by the base, and take off as little wood as possible. In this case I was only cutting with a 2mm bit and 4 or 5mm deep, so you don't have to fight the router as much.

This may be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

[@VeljkoZivkovic]

Bro.......I'm watching woodworking videos for years and I have to say, this is BY FAR the best thing I ever saw! I don't have any machine, any tool, but I'm in love with woodworking. I'm stunned at how this piece looks. Just wow! Regards from Serbia, my bro.

[@VeljkoZivkovic]

This is magic. I can't stop watching the part where you turn it on. It literally looks like magic.

[@TomsDIYShop]

At first, I was like "Why in the world would he cover up all of that intricate router work?!?!?" But then I saw where you were going with this once the LED's and inner panels were put in place and was BLOWN AWAY!! Excellent work, patience, and creativity!!

[@SirBarth]

Same. Then *click*! I'll be quiet now XD

[@katieluv8422]

My first thought was why are you doing intaglio with a router, too rough, but then he covered it up.

[@Puffcroc]

Honestly I didn't realize until the light was finally turned on and my mind was blown. The veneer looked like it wouldn't let as much light through as it did but when it turned on it was just awe struck 🤯😲 Amazing piece!! 😍

[@kennethgalland6829]

I just watched this, a year out and was thinking the same thing. "All that work and he is covering it up...why" then 'click' now that is way cool!!. Also, I have watched a lot of these intergral wood LED light setups and as an electronic engineer I will tell you, your wiring job is about as neet and clean as they go.

[@WalterNoest]

Speaking as a professional joiner/ interior maker. I love the tricks Olivier pulls to realize his projects. Turning with two face plates, to be able access your work from both sides, making proper jigs for specific tasks etc. Really makes him stand out from the ordinary woodturners all over youtube 👍

[@DaleDix]

Do you sometimes think of what the old timers would say about all the tools and jigs etc. we have these days?

As I am commenting, this video is already a year old. Yet, I am seeing it for the first time. Looking at the thumbnail it looked as though it might be just a straightforward piece. But, as I watched, I realized you had anything but straightforward in mind. This was such an amazing concept. I was trying to figure out your idea as you went. But that was impossible. You put a lot of careful and meticulous planning into this project. When you turned on the switch and the Elven inscription began glowing nearly identical to the video graphics of the movie, my jaw dropped. I literally said, "WOW! WOW!", as I watched the illumination. I'm completely and utterly blown away by this project. Such an amazing creation, from conception to completion.
