I’m a disabled woman with a passion for woodworking who is mostly bed bound these days. so I can’t work in my garage anymore. You’ve videos are entertaining the whole way though and you’re so friendly and wholesome . I never got to try tuning but it’s something I’ve tiny about so thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and have about an hour of listening to and watching you make beautiful things!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad to help any way I can. Thank you so much!

[@AmyAnderson-fields]

Many years ago, Mom was the Health Educator on an USAF base. She noticed a number of serious cuts/injuries in the machine shop, so she made a safety poster printed on bright yellow card stock. She traced a large hand, drew in details to make it look realistic. It was missing the ring finger. The poster read "AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR." It was very effective.

[@themeese2]

😂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Smart woman! Thanks

[@AmyAnderson-fields]

@@SpragueWoodturning yes, Mom was brilliant.

[@buckeyehockey1979]

That made her point perfectly. Sometimes, people need you to be this blunt to understand how dangerous this stuff can be if nit done safely.

[@richarddoan9249]

Great work!!! So smart with terrific future projects. Good luck with the move. Please don’t be tough on yourself for needing time away from this channel to get settled. We are not leaving. Designer epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@smeefamily54]

Hey Jim: You have a bug crawling on you . Lots of good info on the roughing out. You got some really wild looking pieces there. I guess we will have to wait a few months to see the results. Take care on the move Jim. Drive safe on the way there. PS: I am going to lose a very good neighbour.

[@alanneel2749]

Get to packing up your Designer Epoxy and all that wood before the snow!! Just hurt my back processing wood … lots of work but fun to peal those big chips off the green wood!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you for all the great stuff you gave me over the years! I really do appreciate it!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Hope your back heals up quickly!

[@FayeAIRNE]

I am learning so much from you that if I keep watching and learning I just may become an armchair expert I completely thoroughly enjoy watching you create things of beauty from what a lot of people may consider something just to be burnt 🤩🌹

Most people just don't realize how much work goes into any form of craft. It's good to see what goes on behind the scenes.Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! Did you get the email I sent you?

[@lillyenovis15]

The customer for the big burl commission is one lucky devil, that’s a gorgeous piece of wood!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@IanSummerhayes]

Thanks for sharing with us Jim! Good luck with the move. Try not to make all your days long ones, busy, busy! Not a fan of moving but I totally understand why, family and friends are everything! Thanks again Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@donnasimmons9836]

That huge live edge Burrell is absolutely amazing. I can’t believe that anything that beautiful would come from a tree. You have a future long time viewer here because I’m not going anywhere until I see that piece made into a bowl. Good luck, packing, and moving. I know the new shop will be amazing. Don’t forget to take your designer epoxy with you.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jeffrichardson237]

Jim, thank you for not only showing the work but also the decision-making that goes into roughing process. You are educating future woodcrafters and artisans. Good luck with the movr.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@ohnonoway]

I am so happy you keep us going with your art. Big move, and you keep releasing videos. I still have to mention designer epoxy because you have educated us well. I was showing someone your fininish work because it is the best. I just realized that I have used water lux and was very happy with it. Please never stop showing your art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@moonmare]

So many gorgeous bowl options here. I absolutely love the shape of the spalted hickory bowl. Can't wait to see what these turn into.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@AC-ow4ni]

Jim I appreciate you taking the time to teach us, every Friday. Thank you for your honesty.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Very welcome!

[@landarogers9926]

Thanks for sharing how you prepare. The preparation in most art is one of the important steps. Love to see the unique designs in the wood

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I totally agree! Thanks

[@WinterWoods3D]

So many beautiful burls! Can't wait to see you turn them again. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@BSE1aleut]

Mr. Sprague … I respect the fact that you found resin to be so enjoyable, having either of your “types of bowls” would be a personal treasure. Being able to work with, and save, so much beautiful wood must be so satisfying!!! When you say that a piece of wood would previously be firewood, but now you use it and you make such amazing pieces, with anything any everything, makes for great content. I have enjoyed all of your videos … and I am a WATCHER, not a MAKER, but I went to the end of both of these videos!!! Thank you and good luck to you and your Wife in your move!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@roseosfromIreland]

Hi Jim, omg processing is a long production line. From start to finish is about 3 yrs. Woodwork is definitely not fast process. But its a beautiful craft to do, the Wood is amazing how it grows and what nature does too. Have a good day. Take care.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Most of my bowls that I roughed out in the past were finished the next year unless I was looking for the spalting. Thanks

[@roseosfromIreland]

@@SpragueWoodturning that's a bit better alright. Is spalting letting the wood season or age? Is that in a dry or wet or am I totally wrong. Hope your move is going well.

[@Steven_VE9SY]

Not many people know how much work is needed to get into full production for a business. Guys like me we have a few burls or logs, cut up some stock and glue it together. Then we make a bowl.Most of it scraps that have been in out basements or garages for years. Orr we but kiln dried lumber that let us get started right away. Truthfully I'm not sure my body would let me do what you go. Having said that, I sold my house and then sold my latee years ago as I did not want it sitting in a steerage unit for years getting rusty.. I dabbled. You produce! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kimdowty8931]

So glad you found Designer Epoxy to help you save these beautiful logs!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too! Thank you very much!

[@pinkytaylor5845]

Love seeing 'behind the scenes', so cool seeing what the wood looks like. You are right, it is like Christmas. Some of that wood is gorgeous! ❤ Prayers for a safe move. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Good to see the rough-out process. Most people have no idea. This video give a glimpse into what it takes for us to produce a bowl. From felling the tree, or cutting up a fallen tree, to finished bowl can easily take 2 years, maybe even longer. Yet people still don’t want to pay the value of hand turned bowls. Thanks for taking the time to share the back story to our turning art. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Very true! Thank you very much!

[@davidmiles9342]

Jim, looking forward each week to see how you balance a move and content. I cannot wait to see your new shop. I love the designer epoxy project but honestly I am enjoying the just plain wood turning. Always blast to see what God puts inside of the trees. Bugs and all.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@betseygirard8878]

I am not a turner, but I learn so much from watching your channel. I have a new appreciation for how much work goes into your projects.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@theresaa.5043]

Thanks for Part 2 . was shocked how much shavings are produced after turning. These are going to be cool in the future. Good luck with the packing and move!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes and this was nothing, lol. Thanks!

[@pattigolden1]

There's so much work to get something that's going to end up gorgeous. Especially those burls! They're my favorite.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@steveschulkin8335]

Jim, though you said you don't like the Hickory, when I saw the first Hickory piece you showed, the spalting black lines even with nothing done to it is going to have so much character. I can't wait to see what you do.❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, the spalting really adds to it. Thanks

[@lorasmith553]

It is really interesting to see the work that is put into getting the blanks, and I could see how a woodturner can look at the completion of this step and feel a deep satisfaction at the final result of a nicely stocked shelf. I had noticed all the blanks you had stacked on the shelf behind you, they didn't magically appear! I am impressed at your talent and creativity. It is a pleasure to watch your channel. I love the variety of shapes and sizes you turned. My favorite is actually the heavily spalted hickory. I'm not usually a fan of hickory but I sure like that piece! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@patriciamathis7042]

I can't wait to see all the beautiful items that you can make from these blanks. The big burl is going to be awesome ❤❤❤ Have you ever tried putting a light stain on some of the wood that you don't care for the color.❤❤❤❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I don’t use stains becoming most are toxic. Thanks

[@BohemianDruid]

Terrific video! As with any craft or art there is a process that must be followed. The reason most of us call this behind the scenes is because it is part of the process we, as the audience, are generally not privy to see. I like seeing the whole process, of course, I like the end results also. Best of luck on closing of your house and the move to New Brunswick. Stay safe. We'll be here waiting for ya!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@darthmaulanie]

Always amazed on how long of a process woodturning actually is. So many steps... and waiting. Love watching your journey.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks again!

[@BonitaHughlett]

Thanks for sharing your process, Jim! There's a lot of work behind the scenes before the part we see. And what gorgeous wood! Wow! What an awesome Creator we have!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulinebradford4823]

Thank you so much for showing us 'step by step' the processes that you go through just to get to the bowl making stage. The amount of work, time and effort that you go through is astounding to those like me, who aren't turners or even wood workers. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You are so welcome! Thanks

[@glennnord2605]

Thank You for showing some of all the work that need to be done .

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You bet, thanks!

[@hollystarks1810]

Jim I love that you go into details.. I don’t turn wood on a lathe but I definitely admire your ability to bring Mother Natures beauty to life in many ways as usable things. Good luck with your move! You’ve got more heavy duty equipment to move than the average Joe. Always look forward to your next creative project ❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@cherylsmith900]

The process is very interesting to say the least. there’s more work that goes into a bowl than what anybody would think. Always see the beauty at the end and you make that part look very easy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@yonson_racing]

Wow, the beginnings of some gorgeous bowls. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@peterhobson3262]

Thanks for this video. You say you enjoy roughing out, I enjoy watching you do it, so we both win.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Lol. Thank you very much!

[@ianh1212]

Hi Jim Ian from Liverpool here, watched the two videos back to back. I'm fascinated to see you gauge which wood to use and which to turn into firewood hahaha 😆 also the process of 1st turning your bowls getting the absolute maximum out of your billets,any young wood turner or indeed new wood turner's would do well to save these two videos and keep them for references absolutely brilliant again my friend 👍👍👍👍👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@rondamcfalls7696]

This was a very informative video. My husband is watching & learning all he can before he gets started. May God bless you on your move. Designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

[@vickiestevens1699]

That large burl is going to be a beautiful bowl. Can’t wait to see that one in the near future. Love the spalting. 💕

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@gordonashleysashley8864]

I've been watching for awhile now. You produce awesome items. I'm almost 60 and I wish I could have done this. It's great how you do it.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It’s never too late. Thanks

[@ludeuel4675]

I'm not a wood turner, but I used a computerized lathe in my early 20s. I love your work!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@themeese2]

That was fascinating! I had no idea of the amount of prep you put the wood through before it can be finished into something truly amazing. I can't wait to see how that commissioned "triple threat" of natural-edged bowls turns out! I kept thinking about how lovely fresh wood shavings smell.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

They small nice as long as they don’t have any spalting in them. Lol. Thanks

[@marilynvanderwilp3713]

Even though I don't have any aspirations to become a wood turner, I still enjoy seeing the entire process. It's good to know how much work goes into a finished piece. Thanks, Jim. Good luck with the move.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@CPRustchak1969]

Thank you for the roughing out videos. I have watched all of your other rough out videos, but I always seem to learn something new. Also, I would like to thank you for thinking of the unfortunate people in the southeast area of the US who have lost so much due to the hurricanes. Fortunately, I am not in that situation here in Virginia. I am very much looking forward to your next video. However, I also understand how busy you will be with the move. Please, don't overdo it. Your health is more important. Cheers!! Designer Epoxy

Great video Jim, roughing out pieces is all part of the process and the people have to know what they’re getting into. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@chrisbucy7860]

Very cool, I am working on rough out this week as well. Currently have 12 walnut and few others. Thanks so much for the education. Couldn't have continued to grow as a turner without you and a few others. Beautiful blanks can't wait to see them finished. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome, thanks!

[@ericaclark7250]

You are definitely right. The big burl was fantastic. I imagine the other bowls from it will look even better. Thank you for walking us through all that goes into your craft. It shows why they are the price they are. Kinda like bead weaving, people don't realize what all goes into it. Stay safe. I was really really worried that when you told the story of the bowl coming off the lathe. I was worried that the bowl had embedded itself into the brick. Like I said stay safe, see you next week.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@skipflorey2511]

Jim, what a wonderful cache of blanks! Really like the spalting. That big burl is something else! Good lessons on processing and safety tips. Designer epoxy

[@karenmullakandov9048]

I’m sorry to hear that your numbers were down last week. I’m not a turner or do anything with wood, but I love to watch you use your creative mind and make such beautiful pieces! The way you can look at a piece of wood and see something I can’t just amazes me. When I came across your channel I was hooked immediately!! Be careful on your trip to the east side of your country and I hope the weather works with you not against you!! Tell your wife that she has such a talented husband 😂😂😂. I really want one of your pieces. I really liked the black one with that stuff you added to it with the purple. I think it was a commissioned piece. It was absolutely stunning!! Take care and have people help you move those big heavy pieces 😅😅😅

[@amandasaulmon3493]

Those spalted pieces are going to be amazing. Can't wait to see them. Good luck on the move and we look forward to seeing the new build soon. As for the hurricane's, western NC and eastern TN got hit terrible with Helene. The mountains were not supposed to get a direct hit and they did. The west gulf coast of FL got hit pretty bad by Milton too. Thanks for thinking of all of us down here. Areas around Asheville and up into the remote areas of the Appalachians are going to take a long time to recover. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, very devastating for sure. Stay safe!

Too bad we didn’t get to see the roughing out of the box elder. I always find these videos fascinating I love the see the progress from log/burl to completed piece. That might be an idea for after you move if can handle the extra editing, I would love to see a video showing the whole progress for a piece. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be interested in a video like that

Wow those yellow birch and maple burls are going to be sooo awesome when they're finished. I'm not a turner (never will be) but the processing is so interesting to watch and learn. God bless and safe travel.

That huge burl is going to be some real works of art someday. The black scrolling lines in your timelapse are a mathematical phenomenon called a Moiré pattern. A digital camera takes an image pixel line by pixel line, and because an LED light is not truly constantly on but rather flashing faster than one can see, some lines of the image will not have the illumination from the light and over time the math moves them. The solution is to check the frequency of the LEDs (usually it's 100 or 120 Hz) and set the camera to take images at that framerate or an even divisor of it (say 50 or 60 frames per second).

Interesting! Thank you so much!

Hi Jim, another cool video. I work for the State of Florida and am currently inspecting debris removal areas. I really appreciate the well wishes for us here as I have seen some serious devastation (as well as in Georgia and North Carolina). Thankfully, not much here in Jax Beach, but in the big bend area for sure. Cedar Key seems to have gotten the worst of it. I am also the safety guy so the piece of wood you have screwed onto the wall is a good reminder. Safety first!! Good luck with your move!!! Neil

Yes, it’s certainly not just Florida, hope things will return to normal soon. Stay safe. Thanks

I was sent here by Midwest magic cleaning channel. Glad I did love this channel already. Keep up the great work.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you!

Wow I hate missing the premier. I probably shouldn't watch the chat replay when I can't join in LOL The first raw logs I got when I started turning were birch (more like branches really) They spalted very nicely and fairly quickly. So pretty. Good luck with the trip east. I'll be thinking of you. Be safe and watch out for the mooses! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Sure will, thanks!

Great video Jim. Designer Epoxy sure changes how you look at a piece of wood. Good luck on the move. 😀

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

Very nice video Jim 👍. Really like hearing your thought process on roughing out bowls. You have a lot of excellent pieces to work with, especially all of those Burls. Thanks for sharing and take care.
