Woodturning - Making a Box From a Resin Core

[@jamesjoyce3849]

If I had to limit myself to a single word to describe your work, it would be "elegant." As I live in an apartment, there's no way I could do any work like this, but that doesn't stop me from admiring what you do!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@bethtuten9378]

Yay! 🎉 Bonus content 🎉 As always, Jim, beautiful work 💜

[@bethtuten9378]

@@morgancalvi6675 I'm not a spammer. Just a girl who likes using emojis 😊 If I were a spammer, wouldn't I be trying to bring attention to my (nonexistant) channel, as opposed to celebrating Jim and his always stunning, beautiful creations?

[@DCHoosier62]

Wow!😮 That is one lucky lady….and Dad! They will cherish these I’m sure!!! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@susanburrows5288]

So beautiful! Love how the resin formed a significant river through the burl.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too. Thanks 😊

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Bowls looks great 👍👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

WOW WOW WOW! That box is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS with the “Sprague Purple” and the wood figuring! Lucky new owner!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! K

[@ronaldbump]

Left is king. Left over stuff repurposed by a left hander. WOW, keep this stuff coming Jim.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@GracieValenti1]

The box turned out so nice! Happy to have the extra content this week!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@ginrobi01]

I love when you use blue or purple as they are my favourite colours. It's the cutest bowl! Love it! The lid just made it extra special!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@keymaker_coils686]

Glad to have an extra video this week! And I can't wait to finish up my first oak bowl turning! Your videos got me started safely and successful!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@raydriver7300]

It’s beautiful, Jim. You could have said: “Purists would say that a box lid should have a tight fit and come off with a ‘pop’ but I’ve deliberately made it loose so anyone with, for example, arthritis can lift it easily.” Keep up the good work 🌞

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@mitchvandyk8325]

Always love your bold colours. The editing was great especially the fast forward bit when you were trying to tap the lid off! Always love an extra vid!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@BeautifulDesignWithKaren]

LOVE the bowl with the top!!! I’m on my phone watching this and it’s right in front of me on my TV as well. Very cool. Once I get my Craft Room cleaned up, figure out where my professional pottery wheel and Kiln are going (garage for kiln definitely). Then I need to get a lathe and start practicing. Never worry about how long the videos are. I love watching them as I’m learning what to do and what not to do. The bowl with the top that matches Jenny’s project came out beautifully! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@leighbucy4149]

You continue to amaze me with all your woodworking projects 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@texanasimmons1761]

Oh wow! The lidded bowl/box is really very pretty! I love the shape of it but wow, the grain and resin only make it prettier! Thanks Jim

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching

[@LaurentDumoulin-wy9dh]

Hi Jim, was not able to watch yesterday but did today. Glad you made a bonus video this week, looking forward to tomorrow's episode. Great job as always. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelhill9738]

Beautiful box. It's great that you can take something that others may simply discard and turn it into a piece of art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@greenmanjnj]

I’m sorry, but I spit my Cheerios laughing when the dang lid wouldn’t come off. And I love hearing your little chuckle about it too. It’s one of the things I love about your videos: Stuff happens and you laugh and deal. Others curse and get mad, but not Even Tempered Jim. You rock!!! And please don’t lose the longer videos. Every time I hear you talk about how long the videos are, I panic a bit that you will do only shorter ones. An hour with you goes by like 15 minutes with some others. I love them!! I know it’s a lot of work, but the short ones midweek, then the longer ones at the end of the week is a good compromise. I suppose if you have to, alternating weeks might work - just don’t mind me if I go into Jim Withdrawal on the shorter weeks. Anyway, take all of this as the compliment it’s meant to be. Bottom line, I love your videos! Thank you for the hard work that I know it is.

[@greenmanjnj]

Oh yeah, and of course the piece is stunning!!! By now it pretty much goes without saying that I will love what you make - but why not say it anyway: gorgeous!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks Judy, I really appreciate your support!

[@greenmanjnj]

@@SpragueWoodturning Always! I wish I could help do the mundane stuff so you could just make the videos. I can only imagine how much work they are. I am now almost through a second viewing of them all.

[@bradarnholt9124]

Jim, again, is just gorgeous. I love how the resin is so complimentary to the piece and doesn't outshine the wood. It is like they were meant to be together

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@marilynhohnstein8477]

The graining of the wood and the color of the resin makes this an exquisite peice.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@lynschultz513]

I love how the little bowl turned out, Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@pamcook4607]

This box is a great way to use the core of any project. Your craftsmanship and designs are always one of kind, great work! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@marieestes5200]

Love the purple color combination with the wood which has so much character in it. Another masterpiece of wood turning created. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. It's amazing what a gnarly piece of wood and some colored resin can become a beautiful piece of art. 😊🥇

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@mdeysenroth]

Beautiful as always. Nice that your customer will have matching pieces.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@2aarms129]

Another beautiful piece. Amazed how close the top and base were after taking such a big parting tool. I know Jenny will love them both.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@michellesutton202]

What a beautiful box. The way the resin looks against the wood, reminds me of a stream in the woods. Such a cool piece😊❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@sarahday5861]

Thanks for the bonus video. I like the box idea over just a small bowl. Makes it fancier.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Simjara1]

Ok, that electrical tape trick was great! I’m surprised it stuck let alone stuck so well that it was a challenge to get the lid off. Very pretty box and I love how well this turned out. Such a challenge to match top to the bowl without altering either or and making them look odd and you did it splendidly. Love that purple river through there. Shines so nice with the waterlux!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Waterlox is king! Thank you very much!

[@owenscool112411]

Stunningly, beautiful box, I love the contrast of the purple with the maple burl.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@ValerieThompson-et3hx]

'Elegant' is the perfect word to describe this beautiful little box!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kevindurica6092]

I love the way the dark grain pops against the hue of the epoxy and the wood. It really make this piece stand out. Excellent video and love the commentary.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@AmbrosiaR]

What a cool addition to the bowl! I'm sure the recipient will love it.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@carolhargrove8957]

Wonderful bonus video! I love watching how lids are made - I never really gave much thought to that part of the process. Thank you, Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Mama Mia! Between this gorgeous wood and your fantastic work, you have made another magnificent masterpiece! I love the purple Designer Epoxy; it adds so much class. Absolutely beautiful work! Bravo!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@TheParkAttendant]

I really like how tight the lid and box fit together. The color is gorgeous.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@pambozkurt5277]

Love the box, especially how the resin got immersed in the wood!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@LonelyFarmerScythe]

The elegance of the box, and wondering how you cut the lid with a lip, pulled me in. I had to got back and watch the prior video, which I hadn’t seen yet. The box had such an amount of resin. That really showed the branch defect I was looking for in the large bowl. Both products are absolutely beautiful!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@deanjohnston3466]

Beautiful love the lidded box idea. The grain in the burl with the purple is awesome.

[@juliesheldon4772]

Very well worth the wait on this. Love the little trinket box. She should be very happy with the look. Great job!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@dkokel]

The Designer Epoxy colors are great - beautiful color - accents the burl wonderfully.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@JaneyBug]

Wow!! It is just beautiful. I want to say it's a mix of ADORABLE and ELEGANT. I just love the purple and I'm sure it will be treasured by its new owner. Thanks for such great content!

Thanks for watching!

[@debrachewning1311]

A delightful, dainty covered dish! Would look wonderful in anyone's home.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

As always, another great Designer Epoxy piece. The purple is great and goes well with the dark lines of the grain.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@janeoverby2151]

Ohhhh, how pretty! Jim I love all the content you film. That is a beautiful set. I know Jenny will love it!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@valeriefuqua4641]

Ah yes, the old creator vs. carnage-loving subscribers debate. Absolutely beautiful little dish! Love that you made it lidded. There's so much more to see on those. The top and bottom of the lid, inside of the dish, bottom of the dish. I'd say a person gets more art from it that way.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@StarAasved]

What a beauty! The figure combine with the resin is absolutely stunning.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@BeautifulDesignWithKaren]

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Wow, Jim! I always love the purple ones. Then I fell in love with the big blue one, then the emerald green one. Now I’m back to loving the purple one… but on KZbin, the pink coral (which I called red, only because it looked red on the video, sorry). I think it needs a second coat. Needs some shine and bling!!

I almost hate to say this but the box is prettier than the bowl. It is an elegant piece. You nailed it.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@mindcraftyD13]

Pretty little lidded dish, I like it. I for one agree that "it's good for television" in that watching you struggle with getting the lids off pieces or castings out of buckets is entertaining. I don't want to see you get hurt or have something break of course, but it does amuse me.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You’re not alone, lol. Thanks
