Woodturning - From SCRAP To Cash!

[@thefreemathtutor]

I am tempted to buy your house just because I am so eager to see you build your new woodshop.

[@jimdee5003]

If 129,000 subscribers kicked in $7.50 USD = $967,500 We hire a property manager and have a vacation home

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Too funny, thanks!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I like the way you think Jim, lol.

[@smurillo3703]

😂😂😂🙌😜

[@MaryObi-v5d]

Hey! I feel like your viewers would appreciate a timeshare situation. 😅❤

[@nickyt3269]

took my son to rockler for a bowl turning class. after years of watching you, i was surprised how much we knew when we actually got on the lathe!!! great stuff as usual. designer epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

That is awesome! Thanks

[@ShlisaShell]

Good job keeping the floaters down. I like it busy as you called it. Yes, I like the foot also. My boyfriend is left handed and seeing his challenges makes me appreciate being right handed. "Triple E" 😄 WOW! Last week's project is pretty darn cool. Keep it turning. 👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

The struggle is real, lol. Thank you very much!

[@timmackey3401]

Thanks for another entertaining video. I always look forward to watching.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@unlustigerTyp]

Nice, that you use scrapwood 🤘🏽

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@pmlm1571]

Very stripey, turned out great. Like the color combo. Last week's vessel is lovely!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@dixiehulings9082]

The little tip bit you give out are very valuable for someone that just starting out or thinking about starting to woodturn. Thank you Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@knoxvillebuckeye5155]

Another beautiful piece. Thanks for the video!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you too!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Another great turning Jim! The epoxy and cherry go well together! Look forward to seeing the upgrades. Please include before and after 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Might be a little tough to do the before, lol. Thanks

[@susanfourie6410]

Beautiful as always. Love the form

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@jeramiahcrosier3481]

I like the foot shape - it makes it look like the wood has a zig-zag, even though it is straight. The cherry is very nice, and as always the designer epoxy held up well.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@WifeMomOsi]

Beautiful piece Jim!! You create such beautiful pieces!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Dianna369]

Beautiful work Jim! Your channel is a wonderful break for me as I am not a wood-turner, I just love watching the creative process. I am happy to share your videos, everyone appreciates beauty!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Jen-w1i]

I am in the same boat. I really enjoy watching the process from start to finish. As always, this creation is awesome!

[@Radcon-2222]

Another nice one with using that designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@carolyncota2723]

I never have had any problem watching your full video. I always look forward to seeing your beautiful creations! Once again, never disappointed

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@pmm0107]

Jim Regarding tool rests. Many of us have solved that problem by welding a 3/8” rod of hardened steel to the top of the stock tool rest. In fact, my buddy and I don’t have a welder, so we glued it on with JB WELD cement. It works great! Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Really, I’m shocked that JB weld would have the strength to hold that. It’s great stuff, but I didn’t think it could take that much abuse. Thanks

[@sharonlatta7752]

I've been watching you for quite a while, but never commented. I don't do any kind of wood turning but enjoy watching anyone with a gift for beautiful art. Great job, keep up the great work and good luck with selling your house!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JOHNSmith-pn6fj]

Two beautiful pieces. I like the foot on this week's piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@michellewohlgemuth8597]

I missed you this morning, hubby I are watching the Olympics and forgot. Designer Epoxy and cherry wood rocks!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

What? You picked them over me, hahaha. Thank you very much!

[@michellewohlgemuth8597]

@@SpragueWoodturning Haha No he picked them over you, he controls the big TV but I did go ahead and watch you on my phone!

[@Oxyte]

As someone who has been with you since just before 20K, it’s been a privilege to watch your trajectory!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@alexandriamonk2345]

I'm watching this while my mom is here, and she agrees this is beautiful! I saw the Designer Epoxy color and I was expecting more of a purple hue. Maybe it's the camera, but I'd argue it was the hypershift that made it look more of a silver/gray color. It's still beautiful and a great use of the wood! Ugh, Jim, I'm so surprised the house and 130k subscribers hasn't happened yet! Have faith! I'm looking forward to seeing the house done and sold, with your subscriber milestone hit. You deserve it! See you next Friday, Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, I think the hyper shift is to blame, but in person, it’s purple. Thank you very much!

[@Maazzzo]

cool piece, Jim! Love your videos, I look forward to them every week.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jimdee5003]

I like how the end grain top got darker and contrasted with the body. Nice piece 👍👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@lillyenovis15]

As a fellow lefty, I can confirm that we’ve had to learn to adapt not only to doing things in a righty world but even in learning to do things from righties. My grandmother was teaching my sister and I (we’re twins, and multiple birth individuals have a much higher incidence of being left handed than single births) to crochet when we were kids. She was agonizing over how to do it backwards to show us since we’re lefties, and we finally got her to just show us the way she would normally do it and we would adapt as needed for our dominant hand. I definitely love the shape of this piece, foot and all, and I look forward to seeing it again! My favorite pieces so far remain the coral/ocean pieces with the glow-in-the-dark colors, and the space pieces. You are so inventive and I always look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Keep up the great work!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Adapt and overcome. That’s the lefty motto, haha. Didn’t know that about twins. Thanks

[@Hortonscakes]

Top 5 Jim! See you next Friday!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@allochthonplays2978]

I really like that form factor too. And I love that epoxy lets you use scrap wood like this!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you like it! Thanks

[@SAOS451316]

The light plays nicely with the different pieces. I like these projects where you reuse scraps; trash to treasure and all.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@RandySmith-t6c]

Great use of scraps. I’m a retired cabinet maker and I have lots of scraps. Can’t wait to use them. Designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Good luck! Thanks!

[@mikebass823]

Really like the loss stick look. The foot is just the right size. Hypershift stands out great. Nice job, 100 percent awesome. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks! 👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks! 👍

[@ronlucas4019]

From the thumbnail and description I didn’t think I would like this one but I really do like it. The foot is very nice and I like the geometric shapes. Very well done. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you like it! Thank you very much!

[@Kathy-wx4bn]

Today I didn't get to watch your program till 14 hours after it came on alive, but I managed I am really enjoying your work each. I am not a turner even thought there is a layth in the basement which was my husbands. So I am going to give it to my son in law he is interested in learning to do turning so I am going to tell him to watch your programs I think he would fined them very interesting and helpful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@jeanlong4285]

Jim, this piece is great. I love the geometrics of the ends. Great job with the deep set Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@landarogers9926]

I am not a turner, but i look forward to watching you create art. Love the purple with the hyper shift. Another stunning piece, Jim.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@MindPyrate]

Ahoy Jim! Glad to have time to get back to watching. Nice piece. A joy to see it revealed. R'Amen!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Been a while, thanks!

[@davidjohns4223]

I really liked the “mushroom” look! It was unique

[@SpragueWoodturning]

We will definitely see this form in the future. Thanks

[@chrisjohnston2449]

Designer Epoxy. Scrap to cash is a great idea. Very impressive shape.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kimdowty8931]

Nice nice nice. Designer Epoxy deep cast, wow.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@laurenbarber1874]

I desperately want...no, NEED...a mushroom pot. Hope to see it soon! Fortunately we get to watch you make cool stuff like this in the mean time! Great piece!

Thank you so much!

Nice take on the Ming dynasty era vases. Another beautiful creation ❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@bigboy9706]

My favorite type of Peice. The color is awesome. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and week

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@johnlavarine8155]

Another beautiful creation Jim! Your strength, in my opinion, other than your burning talent, is your vision on our shapes and designs of your pieces. Also, your way of always pushing the envelope with depth of pours and new products. Beautiful piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@suepetty9225]

I think this is the best one yet.I love the foot shape. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kevinbooth2063]

Beautiful Jim. My last designer epoxy pour was 203mm and no thermal cracking. Thank you for the pro tip on applying water luxe. I have been using paper towels.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@rondamcfalls7696]

That is another beauty. Who'd thunk lol... this is our Friday date recliner holding video...gotta love getting old...designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Nope, I don’t like it, haha. Thanks

[@cherylsmith900]

It’s amazing what a few scraps of wood can turn into. Love the shape and the color turned out great.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tammywashington1763]

This is so pretty I just love how you take what most of us would throw away and make a beautiful piece of art out of it

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jennyssewingroom6324]

Love to see how the "scrap" turns into such a great piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

Stunning pieces every time... wow! 👍👍👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@pattigolden1]

Cracked me up watching a couple pieces of the wood slowly creep up when you were pouring. 😂🤣 I started watching you right before you added epoxy resin to your pieces, your creativity has exploded!! Love this piece!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CPRustchak1969]

Unfortunately, I miss the live premier due to work. So, it is usually my Saturday routine. You can never go wrong with the Queen (cherry). So beautiful. I absolutely love this form with the foot and the collar. I still believe that even in your early in-lay pieces, pre-epoxy, that you did an awesome job in combining art and functionality. You have been an artist longer than you give yourself credit for. Cheers!! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@Girly_pop-kitty]

You did it again Jim. Beautiful vase and I am 2 Looooving that foot..🙏🏼 For some time now, give or take 6months or so, I have seen your uploades every friday. I tune in on your Channel and enjoy your new crafts and the growing epoxy creativity your on. Just Wanted to wave from my little country -Denmark.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@deborahthompson258]

Lovely pieces. I’m glad to see someone making a living doing something they like to do. 😊❤

Thank you! 😊

[@dkouma1]

Another great piece. I love watching your videos with my grandson...he thinks the epoxy strings are so "satisfying". Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@RenaLarson61]

I love the shape you decided on and I love the randomness of the wood pieces the hyper-shift really does the piece justice I always love to watch your videos and I really enjoy the voice overs.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@coleenzartman7748]

Beautiful piece this week. As a fellow lefty it’s are creativity that helps us adapt to this right handed world. 😊 Designer epoxy.

Very cool idea for scraps, splitting with hatchet was a great maneuver.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@marilynvanderwilp3713]

Another beautiful piece of art. I absolutely love the foot. I'm very into more angular shapes. It gives it more character. See you next Friday, Jim. Thanks for your fabulous pieces.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@chrisbraun247]

That's a cool idea to use scrap lumber and Designer epoxy to make a beautiful hollow form. Awesome idea Jim.

Never miss you. OK maybe a day late but always there. Must agree with comment below, looks more grey than purple. Love the idea that nothing is useless, anything can be turned into a beautiful pieces - caterpillar to butterfly. :)

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Oh thank you!

[@ginrobi01]

The pigments from Designer Epoxy never cease to amaze me! And this week's piece is screaming Grecian Urn to me, minus handles, and she's gorgeous! The shape, the colours, the size ... love it!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@mv8039]

I always look forward to your videos. I have learned a lot watching you. I hope you and your wife are able to get your house sold soon. I’m looking forward to watching you in your next chapter of life. Beautiful piece as always.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I hope so too! lol. Thank you very much!

[@GinaJalufka]

Once again Jim, you have made a wonderful piece of art combining Designer Epoxy and wood..Still think it would have made a lovely cookie jar!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes it would, thanks!

[@amandasaulmon3493]

Lovely as usual. That purple shines. Designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@rosannamize6622]

I really appreciate your approach to DESIGNER EPOXY and the natural cherry wood! The epoxy makes the natural wood pop!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@moonmare]

I love how the rounding of the form changes the visible shape of the wood. The piece reminds me of really old cabins where you can see gaps between the wood but you know the wood is quality to have lasted so long. Ghost Town Hollow Form!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Love the name, lol. Thanks!

[@poeticangelartbyangelabass3798]

Great work as always. Love how the wood grain shows up.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@elisecoxhell4139]

I love the colour, the deep purple is gorgeous and it looks more stormy grey in some angles too, maybe because there is a lot of wood. Beautiful sparkle! I was in 2 minds about the scrap pieces, some bits I think are exquisite and some are just slightly hitting the wrong angle for me depending on where they ended up sitting relative to the final profile, but overall I really like this look, it's quite... organic, strangely? I can't think of a word to describe the feeling it gives me, but I do like the whole piece, definitely an artistic splendour! I would love to see this dark purple again, I think it would look spectacular mixed extremely strong with a really really light (maybe almost white or silvery) wood to contrast against it, with lots of larger resin areas. One of the many reasons I love watching this channel is because of how you inspire so many amazing creations in my imagination, even if that's where they stay! Thank you Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

That would be a good look! Thanks

[@nerak4971]

funny how scrap can be turned into a work of art in the right hands. see ya next week

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

This was a fresh step from what you've done earlier on the channel. Awsome hollow form. 🤩

I have been watching for quite awhile and you have come a long way when using resin. I love how creative it has alllowed you to be. I feel that it has allowed you to be creative with your bowls too. I know you feel that vases and hollow forms are more, but personally I love them all. I remember your island series which I loved. I remember your first try at peacock colors lol. Great job this week.
