Turning 500 layers of DENIM on a lathe

In this turning video I will be transforming denim into a truly unique hybrid vase with glass inserts. The denim was cut on my Xtool 40W diode laser to fit perfectly into a cylinder shape mould and each and every layer was soaked in resin. What all the 500 plus layers were in the mould and resin all cured it was time to shape on my lathe. Applied clear gloss lacquer finish to bring the materials alive.

Who wakes up one morning and thinks - I know I'll cut 500 circles of denim up and make a vase! 🤪And what an amazing vase it turned out to be - stunning work yet again! Can't wait to see what you make with those scraps in the future project! 🤩

[@DavidsWoodturning]

I guess that is me 🤣 Thanks a lot buddy

[@susanburrows5288]

I like this piece a lot. The slightly different colors of denim show up nicely in that subtle stripe pattern, and the vase shape is very attractive.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mdeysenroth]

Wow! I love the reveal pictures where you can see all the variations of color. Very cool!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DickVaughan-t6k]

I can't wait to see what you do with the scraps. This vase is just amazing. A great, creative mind. Takes recycling/repurposing to a whole new level.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lesliebrown1517]

What a unique idea! I really like the shape.

[@alankeith7866]

That piece came out groovy looking!!! The acetone was rather clever to finish it.

[@AlienLeader4]

That is pretty neat. Keep up the great work.👽

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 🙂

[@Mopar46]

Who'd have thought that would turn out to be so fantastic.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@smfauls]

Yes.... a set of serving bowls.... perfect

[@RenaLarson61]

At first I wasn't too sure that would work, but it's great, I love the subtle differences in the denim and the shape is beautiful

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@firehorsewoman414]

Stunning piece of work!

[@judithobrien2750]

Unique. Brilliant.

[@JamesStreetStation]

What an INSANE amount of prep! That's dedication right there!

[@DebAmlen]

Those strings coming off the lathe would make great yarn! 🧶

[@codeblue2532]

…and then weave a denim flag, or another apparel piece….js

[@1774Emma]

It's original !! Good work sincerely !!

[@jannekristinehubenettekris1601]

I really love this one :D

[@JamesCouch777]

I watched a video of a guy, I think it was Blacktail Studios, make a table top out of denim. After watching the amount of trouble he had to go through I would never consider doing anything like that but I'm absolutely delighted that you have done it, well done 👍

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀 Yeah the inspiration come from him and another guy who made table out of denim

[@Vikanuck]

Jeans?!? Gotta say man - your videos have been getting incredibly lathe’y lately… …keep it up 🤷🏻‍♂️😄👌

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Lol thanks a lot 😀

[@matthewjohnson6360]

You should make a bowl like that, using both lite a dark colored denim Blacktail Studios did a table using denim.

[@laurielaurie8280]

Thats awesome 😃

[@tomdenny8507]

Interesting.

[@rohmatbubut-um4ug]

Sip , banget 👍🙏 9:36

[@alankeith7866]

A nice pair of Fiskars shears would have been a lot easier to cut the big pieces with...😁

[@codeblue2532]

How long would the denim ‘slag’ be and how fragile is it having been impregnated……asking for a seamstress.

[@danielwhalley8528]

Think you might need a new blade in that knife 😂

[@michaelwillson6847]

Dam I thought blacktail studios denim table was nice this is better. Masterclass yes please and if you ever fancy a trip to Dumfries Scotland give me personal lessons I wouldn't say no 😲👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and some how to grow FB /social media would be helpful to.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀 I do online consultations reach out if your area interested www.davidswoodturning.co.uk

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@DavidsWoodturning id be interested I did email you the other day. All depends on costs. 😬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@dickydoes]

There was once a time when someone crafting would use a pair of scissors to cut out circles of cloth. Now people are using frickin’ LASERS.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Well I tired scissors, Stanley knife but laser was soooo much faster, accurate, cleaner cuts I couldn’t believe it

[@codeblue2532]

So many uses for the original forms…..imo

[@rodrigoarayafritis7849]

Please, what's Denim price? M2,.....?

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Cannot help with that buddy

[@MinhTranminh-m9i]

Đat ham mô

[@codeblue2532]

Why acetone

[@DavidsWoodturning]

That was a wrong video cut.. acetone to clean before spraying with clear gloss lacquer

[@memememe2674]

Never seen so much waste on a project. WY to much resin on the denim, too much epoxy on the wood block to hold denim blank, you destroyed the acylic tube removing the blank!!!!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

@@memememe2674 what wasted comment too 😅

[@Adam-r2k8e]

Such beautiful work!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@karenstafford724]

What made you vome up with idea of using jeans ? It's very nice and i like the colours. 💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙

[@DavidsWoodturning]

There are some makers used denim to make tables like Blacktail studio. So was thinking how i can accommodate this material in my makes 😀
