Making an Urn, Saying goodbye in my own way.

[@Bjeenie]

my condolences! It is a true noble thing you did for him!

[@ProjectsandThings]

Merci Thomas.

[@juanchapez7038]

Beautiful, in craftsmanship and meaning. Your hands have wrought a place for him to rest in this world, while his soul journeys through heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and peace.

[@ProjectsandThings]

thank you for those kind words Juan.

[@pcourtney1000]

What a beautiful cathartic moment. The algorithm served this to me right now: my day off and deeply mourning the loss of my 2 year old nephew this summer who passed from a drowning. He passed a month after my sister suddenly died. Those first moments after a passing can freeze your motion, so truly - putting your hands to create such beautiful art while grieving is amazing. This piece is stunning.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Wow, thank you Courtney for those kind words. The idea for this popped into my head when staying the night in his final days and feeling helpless. So suddenly I had something tangible that I could do for him, although posthumously. And the thought never went away. It sounds like you also had a rough time this past summer. The sadness aside, times like these always remind me (us) to put as much life as possible into our days, since we cannot control the amount of days in our lives. all the best, Yves

I'm really sorry for your loss. What an amazing piece you made, Sending a hug from an internet stranger.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you very much Rodrigo. I´ve shared a lot of happy and cool moments with internet strangers such as yourself, but sometimes you need to share the sad stuff. Because a lot of good stuff has come back from sharing creativity with the world. And i figured this was another step in that direction.

[@rileywagner]

I'm so sorry for your loss. A beautiful way to honor him.

[@loganmclarry]

My condolences for your loss, Yves. You did a great job.

[@gabrielecollier5084]

So very sorry for your loss! I lost my Dad too so I understand. I think what you did for him was very beautiful!

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you Gabriele.

[@thebloody9]

Sorry for your loss. Your father would be proud. Beautiful video and beautiful urn. All the best to you, love from a stranger in England. Keep up the good work

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you English stranger. I´m glad you stopped by, even if it was in a pretty sad time.

[@shivanshubhagat3623]

Heaven welcomed a great craftsman and a proud father. Rest in peace Sir. And once again, incredible job from you as well.

[@ProjectsandThings]

thank you very much Bhagat.

[@abe453]

My condolences to you and your family. What a beautiful and meaningful project.

[@hanscapiau]

Mijn deelneming Yves, heel mooi eerbetoon. Sterkte.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Dankjewel Hans.

[@elysegotham7703]

What a beautiful thing you created . Just beautiful

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you so much Elyse.

[@alfredlear4141]

A beautiful project

[@40medic]

Well done. Beautiful…

[@EveryDayJay415]

I’ve lost both of my parents. My father past when I was very young. He was a wood worker and I feel connected to him every time I’m working on a project. This was an awesome and well made video!

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you Jay, I think that will be the way to keep his memory alive, to make stuff and occasionaly spot something in it that he would have done as well.

[@matilotelephones3557]

Gecondoleerd. Mooi project.

[@ofuets]

Amazing work. Hoping the best for you mate. Keep up.

[@thomasjewell503]

Sorry for your lose, and the urn was beautifully done

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you Thomas.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I am so sorry for your loss Yves. My condolences to you and your family. I am certain that your father would have appreciated this final gift.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thanks Grant. I like to think the same. although I can´t be sure there is 2 way communication to the afterlife, I´ll live my life as if there is.

[@aljeffcoat1327]

My condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing this video, it was really rather interesting (in spite of the subject) to me to watch the process, as I'm starting to dabble in woodworking.

[@ProjectsandThings]

You are welcome, the main goal of my channel is getting people to start making the things they want in life, to provide one of many examples to make your own stuff. And this, although morbid, was one of those things. So I ended up sharing the video for that purpose as well as saying goodbye.

[@JerryHolguin]

Lost my father earlier this year. This was beautiful.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you, It will continue to suck for a while I´m sure, for the both of us. But from a crappy situation beautiful stuff can come, like re-kindling old relationships in the wake of his passing.

[@thexbigxgreen]

My condolences, my man. My dad died of cancer when I was 14, it's an incredibly helpless feeling. This was a beautiful way of expressing your feelings of love and loss.

[@stijncoene7792]

sterk man, big hug

[@moniquefierens8118]

[@PanduPoluan]

I am so sorry for your loss. That said, a handmade final resting place for your dad, made lovingly by your own hands, sweat, and blood (yeah, I noticed the bandage) ... his souls will rest peacefully knowing he succeeded in making you a man. Also, the jig to make circular panels, that's a brilliant idea!

[@ProjectsandThings]

the bandage was indeed needed sir. I ended up cutting my finger badly on the jigsaw ( I was obviously somwhere else with my thoughts). so after a few stitches at the hospital I returned to finish the urn. So I´ll have a scar on my index finger that will forever remind me of that day.

[@PanduPoluan]

@@ProjectsandThings It's a scar of love, you should be proud :-) Well then, get well soon and create more 👍

[@None.of.ya.business666]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I could see the pain in your eyes. Wishing you all the best. You did something which probably makes him smile on the other side of the veil. I'm sure he was very proud of having raised a loving and skilled son. Have a big old internet hug. Wish I could've done something like that for a friend who died on Dec. 20th last year. I miss him so much.

[@ProjectsandThings]

Thank you so much, it sucks when people go. But remembering them makes all the difference

[@JolienBrebels]

Oh Yves :( heel veel sterkte, wat heb je dat mooi gemaakt!

[@dylcarlie]

Sterkte! Zeer mooi project!

[@DirkieB]

Gecondoleerd Yves. Sterkte

[@Karrde]

Sterkte Yves.

[@Ill_Stay_In_My_World]

😪 the hardest part is saying goodbye People tell me they are preparing themselves for when their parents pass and I tell them you will never ever be prepared enough My mom passed at home here with me back in September 2021 and this is how long it has taken me to consider getting her a better urn than the one she is in now It's been so hard Your work is beautiful Your Dad be very proud

[@ProjectsandThings]

Hi Mary, thank you so much for your comment. It’s very true. The feeling is so strange, its a flow of emotions: sad-angry-confused-better-normal-backtoweird-sad,etc…. Even though it has been more then 6 months I always feel strange when ppl mention my dad or talk about their fathers in general. I still carry his obituary letter in my backpack every day, can’t seem to put it away.

[@Ill_Stay_In_My_World]

@@ProjectsandThings it's gonna take a while All these months for me and still I cry like yesterday it's a normal phase when you love someone that deep in your heart Don't let anyone tell you it isn't when your heart knows what is

[@TheStoffel24]

Veel sterkte. Knap dat je toch nog iets hebt kunnen doen voor je vader.

[@riks.1773]

Dit zal een moeilijke geweest zijn om te maken, toch bedankt om te delen. Sterkte ❤

[@ProjectsandThings]

Dankjewel Rik. Ik heb lang gedebatteerd om het al dan niet online te zetten, maar aangezien ik alle projecten documenteer vond ik het uiteindelijk correct om te tonen. Nogmaals bedankt

[@KarlLeenknegt]

Sterkte mak(k)er!

[@sayurax]

Heel veel sterkte, super mooi gedaan!

[@ProjectsandThings]

Merci Sayurax, het was raar maar kben blij dat ik het gedaan heb.

[@pablo321123]

plywood?

[@ProjectsandThings]

Yes, plywood. In rings and turned on a lathe.

[@AlynneTheFlorifant]

I don't really know what to say, I hope you are holding on.
