This “sink” project is truly a piece of art! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[@geofo60]

Pure genius Simon. The finish is mind blowing, absolutely stunning piece. Like the push style drain plug, finishes off a beautiful work of art. You're a very talented turner sir. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧 .

[@simongadoury3244]

+doobedoobedo1 hehe a plug Thank you for the info!!

[@libradragon934]

The word your looking for is wavy, like wavy lines. And the bit in the middle you didn't know the name for is a plug, or drain plug. The piece is absolutely beautiful!

[@simongadoury3244]

+wayne P DUB TURNINGS Thanks alot Wayne!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Wow! such a beautiful wooden pattern :O

[@he-mansuncle7661]

Simon, you keep raising the bar on your projects!!! This was amazing!!! If you ever want to try some other exotic wood like rare ebony and some other species, I found an awesome eBay store! It's called exotic-wood-n-burls they have a great assortment of wood and they're great people! Watching your videos and some other people has inspired me to try and do something with wood. I now only buy from them as I don't have anything close to me that has any unique wood. Right now it's just knife scales and micarta, but I hope to be able to do more, if my knee and body allow it lol Thank you

[@simongadoury3244]

+Phillip Taylor Thank you Phillip for your great comment and information.

[@he-mansuncle7661]

SG Art Turning no problem, if they don't have something listed you can send them a message, they can probably cut to size what you want. Just mention me! Their family is also in the wood sculpting business. They make some incredible art from the root bulbs, big knotty branches and other "worthless wood". One brother stays in Laos and prepares the wood and then sends it to the states where it's finished.

[@jardindedom-mage]

WAW magnifique 👏 merci , 🇵🇹

[@JeremyBuehlerJWB]

You should consider one of the bowl saver systems... With that quality of wood I think it would pay for itself in short order. :D Very nice!

[@simongadoury3244]

+Jeremy Buehler Thank you Jeremy, yeah I know

[@thomasarussellsr]

Jeremy Buehler I second that, could have used the core to make a matching soap dish, tooth brush holder, and cup; instead of a bunch of shavings. However, if you weigh and package the shavings you might could sell them as artisan hamster/pet bedding. HaHa.

[@muziqjazz]

Salut Simon. Superbe pièce; je me répète mais je suis jaloux de ton inventaire de bois ;-) Lâche pas!!! Marc

[@simongadoury3244]

SG Art Turning You should turn a small recessed ring at the bottom so the flange fits flush.

[@billycoleman1128]

gorgeous piece

+Billy Coleman Thank you very much Billy

[@matthewpicklesimer293]

God has giving you amazing talent and gift! Looks Awesome! Jesus loves you!

[@simongadoury3244]

+Matthew Picklesimer Thank you

[@matthewpicklesimer293]

SG Art Turning .....your welcome sir!...I hope one day to do work like that!

[@thomasarussellsr]

That is perhaps the most beautiful sink I've ever seen, yet. Love the finish and drain mechanism. BTW, just to help out, the english word for the paper used and act of using it is sand paper/sanding it/sand (verb), not "send". I hope this clears that up for you. The mechanism is called a "drain" as well, in english. Awesome bowl/sink. Did you "true-up" or flatten the inside and out of the bottom after drying (before installing the drain)? might not hold its seal if there is a warp left.

[@simongadoury3244]

+Thomas Russell Thank you very much Thomas, and yes I flat inside and outside. Oh and thanks for the word hehe drain

[@29lookingood]

Oh my, it is Beautiful 💙

[@sapphodesigns2377]

Looks fantastic

[@simongadoury3244]

+Fifi Gazepis Thank you very much Fifi

[@sidmatheny8500]

WOW what a beauty!!!!

[@simongadoury3244]

+Sid Matheny Thanks a lot Sid

[@magikdust2095]

This is such a beautiful sink. It would have been nice to see you sand it down, and polish it as well... Do these sinks last a long time?

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

It is stunning wow!!

[@ThePhoebeisme]

A nice piece as usual. Just curious, was this curly wood the one you showed in your previous video, where you were showing a bunch of wood and one of them was marked "curly"?

[@simongadoury3244]

+Xuping Zhang Thank you Xuping, yes I think. The big log, oh maybe it was another one. Not sure

[@mzka2012]

i really like your work, hope to learn how to do like this art..... well done and all the best

[@simongadoury3244]

+Mohammed Al Arafat Thank you very much Mohammed

[@damasydia]

Awesome work...

[@simongadoury3244]

+Airborne Mike Thank you Sir

[@vjgrevem]

Absolutely beautiful. How durable is the alumilite finish? Do you think it would chip if someone dropped something in the sink?

[@simongadoury3244]

+Vincent G Thank you Vincent. No epoxy does not chip or scratches easy. It's very durable.

[@samgilbert5362]

Very nice work.

[@gaetanplourde2267]

Super Simon tu travailles bien en passant juste pour savoir ton tour Laguna est tu satisfait du 18/36 où il vaut mieux acheter tout suite le 24/36 parce que moi c'est ma prochaine achat si tu serais a recommencé que ferais tu? Merci

[@dougmcilwaine7078]

Hi Simon, I love your work. Just a quick question for you. On this piece and another (the weird burl) you tend to use your bowl gouge as a scraper (I believe it is called sheer scraping) when you shape the outside of the piece. I was just wondering why you do that. Were you taught that way or is it just your preference. Thanks very much.

[@simongadoury3244]

+Doug McIlwaine Thank you Doug, à sheering cut its not a scraping. It slice the wood to remove any tear out.

[@thomasmathews3904]

Vary nice. One question way don't you core the bowl and save all that wood to make more?

[@bretthildebrandt9250]

Amazing job.

[@TheDieselbutterfly]

shut up and take my money. beautiful work

[@simongadoury3244]

+TheDieselbutterfly haha Thank you very much Sir

[@bobperrone9474]

Absolutely beautiful! I just wanted to leave this comment here to make you aware that a few other channels have re-uploaded this video without crediting you. I have reported one of them but you might want to have a look around and report others trying to profit off of your hard work and talent.

[@simongadoury3244]

+Bob Perrone Thank you very much Bob

[@k.s.7828]

Thank you. What do you use for this sink to withstand the effects of water?

[@LUCAS-qk9sq]

wuaooo que hermoso trabajo me podria decir los nombres de los liquidos con lo que hizo esa mezcla tan brillante ? gracias desde venezuela un saludo cordial

[@КойтВагон]

Hello mate. Can i ask yo about drying? how you do this?

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

The grain is breathtakingly beautiful thank you. Please tell me your name. You do fantastic work.

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Where did you score that log. I'd love to find some curly maple.

[@cricketcricket9749]

Beautiful!

[@simongadoury3244]

+Cricket Cricket Thank you

[@tomasarguinzoni9022]

Very Very good job 👏🏻

[@simongadoury3244]

+Tomas Arguinzoni Thanks a lot Tomas!

[@dashphaste]

Simon. Breathtaking. Please. How on Earth does the resin not sag, when you brush it on?

[@imthesquareroot6125]

This has probably been answered before but what is it that is making the pod racer/ f1 race car sounds when you have the footage sped up? Also this piece is very beautiful.

[@simongadoury3244]

+Private Fluttershy yes when I speed up the video. Thank you

[@ravensburgpiet]

Verry nice man! Could you have used a bowl saver to get some more bowls out of that wood?

[@simongadoury3244]

+Pieter Ravensburg Thank you Pieter, yes but I don't have one

[@scottparat]

very nice, looks like you were spraying something on toward the end....what was it? Are you getting the new Laguna?

[@simongadoury3244]

+Scott Parat Thank you Scott, it was a fire torch, to flat out the epoxy. Yes the 24-36 I should have it in a couple weeks

[@leksey7870]

Beauty!!!

[@simongadoury3244]

+Аleksey Bek Thank you Aleksey!

[@MrLkelso]

if you dont mind me asking, how much do you sell your sink bowls for?

[@simongadoury3244]

+Kelso Custom Turning it depends how big and witch wood I use, around 200 to 800

[@kidrage3243]

damn if i could afford it i would so get one made by you this looks amazing and theres nothing like it online for sale

[@albertobotelho4097]
