Woodturning - The Elephants Foot

[@Ritzy_Bitz]

As it developed, I instantly was reminded of candy corn with the shape and colors!

[@lisamcconnell945]

That's what i was thinking 😄

[@irvagirl]

Same!!!

[@Katzztar]

Glad to see I'm no the only one!

[@jarodperry2576]

Right

[@rcrow2011]

Same thought here!

[@dragoness_gaming766]

it does quite look like a large candy corn still on the corn stalk. This may do well as a kids night light lamp with the warm glow.

[@bobcooper4414]

Yeah it would look cool with some kinda light in it.

[@phdyer7717]

Dragoness_ Gaming or even a fruit pastilles ice lolly

[@suzanneaufang4976]

Drop one of those flameless candles & you have it!

[@shevaunhandley1543]

I was thinking that a light would make it so much more interesting

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

I would like to see a 5 gallon bucket filled with a collection of chips, from different projects, mixed with resin. Turned into a vase. Of course.

[@a.g.silverbane6335]

Do IT!

[@lindseyjacobo9837]

Yeah totally! 😄

[@Ringelsocke.]

Of course a bucket full of chips and resin would look diffent, but that might be like the patchwork plaids from remnants of fabric that I do from time to time. I mostly remember all of the original projects when I look at the different pieces. And that is cool. And funky. And a bit weird. Cool idea!

[@cherylcowden9676]

That would be so cool

[@kandilokai]

I think this would be really cool made into a floor lamp.

[@teresa06wayne]

What I thought! But before he tapered one end I thought a really sweet umbrella stand. What a conversation piece! I like big art!

[@michellestevens2056]

I think it turned out great.Your projects never disappoint for me. It's art at a funky level.

[@GypsyWomanWindy]

It's the most beautiful "Candy Corn" I've ever seen!!

[@rainbowpony8216]

But the colours R messed up 😂😂😂🍬🌽

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Yep. This is what i just told my husband! It’s a candy corn vase! He’s always fun to watch though.

[@silvanasalerno2844]

my thought exactly!

[@ItsKiraLyn]

That’s exactly what I was thinking it looked like with that shape and color!

[@tedparreco5963]

My thought exactly!

[@PreciousGrant369]

It looks like a giant candy corn when it was spinning on the machine.

[@BeardedBadger77]

I was gonna comment the same thing! 😂🤣

[@Rosalee3770]

my thought too lol

[@angelicapain5331]

I've always wondered what does candy corn taste like?

[@darkwolfnova344]

That's what I was thinking as well

[@nathanholt6158]

damn you beat me to it xD

[@herugrim7962]

There are no mistakes here. Just happy little lollipop vases.

[@thatguy10145]

Literally the best vase I've ever seen.

[@jaminson2855]

this guy is such a youtube treasure. what a bloody character

[@carijohnson8818]

“Remnant”. This has a candy corn vibe (is candy corn a States thing?). I think it is GORGEOUS! I love strange 💜

[@foxfiretales9273]

Cari Johnson I was thinking “residue” at the time, but the cutaway to the bard scene had me laughing too hard to think!

[@melissascloset9041]

I came here to say the same thing! 😂

[@jenniferjames107]

I agree it makes me think of a Candy Corn/buoy I really like the look!

[@danielleburchette2599]

Wild candy corn.😉 I thought that too lol.

[@carydouglas8454]

I was thinking Candy Corn 100%

[@flesh_clock]

" whatever it's going to be, it's going to be weird. " Because all the stuff you make is so normal

[@yankeedoodle5691]

I love the burrs, keep them on there!!! I screamed NO!!!!! when you sawed them off!!

[@Glim246]

Me too. I thought they were the whole point of getting that piece. Oh well, still an amazing result.

[@kevbryant7199]

I think the lollipop is a very fitting name for this project. I love the way you never know what it's going to be until you crack on with it.

[@TheSocalfisher1]

Looks like something you would find in a jamaican gift shop. I like it.

[@jaystevens1747]

Have you thought about drilling holes in the plain looking resin and pouring different colored resins in the holes?

[@CenterStarsChannel]

I really like it actually. It would be awesome lit up inside!

[@CenterStarsChannel]

It is very sedimentary looking. I would call it 'Layers'.

[@Lepcrafts]

I was thinking he was going to add a light. Would look cool

[@kaylac8287]

Some of the most amazing things come from projects or art that doesnt go as planned. I like it. Its neat and unusual. 1 of a kind ;)

[@christyostrander5687]

I agree! It's unusual and eye catching. I like it!

[@jennyemerson8035]

Candy corn comes to mind!! Sometimes the 'mistakes' turn out the best!!

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Even when a piece turns out to be not exactly my style or my cup of tea, I can always appreciate the process and artistry and see beauty in anything. Thanks for sharing! I'm binge-watching your videos!

[@Harko-]

“There is only one of this in the world!” Perhaps it’s better we keep it like that 😜. Thanks Nick, great video anyway!

[@medicbabe2ID]

I agree with the commenter who said it has a desert southwestern flair, like a sunset between mountain peaks. I can't love it enough. 🧡🌞

[@BellefromOz]

I like the vase! It reminds me of a lifesaver (idk if it's just in Australia but it's an icypole.). I'd love to see the inside coated with something to make it waterproof so it can be a vase, then a light in the bottom to show the colours more vibrantly! 🥰

[@cmmc3400]

Imagine Nick making Frankenstein. "I have created.....LIFE! Wait a minute, it needs something.....um.....OH YEAH (sounds like Kool-Aid dude) It needs RESIN!!! (lightning strike just outside the window). Gotta be entertained by Nick. It takes a brilliant man to be funny, smart and have a wife that looks like his. Congrats Nick, you have a full house with the kids being much like you. Congrats!

[@tandiparent1949]

Lol....yep, you're probably right!!🙃

[@sierram9573]

This reminds me of candy corn! I love when weird mistakes like that happen that you weren’t even remotely expecting, and love he way it ended up turning out

[@ItsKiraLyn]

11:20 I can’t be the only one who giggles when his tools run off the lathe like that!

[@lqboren47]

Looks like claymation.

[@ItsKiraLyn]

LaQuetta Boren hahaha it does huh?! It’s gonna make me giggle even more when I see it happen now!

[@lavendervanilladepressioni5536]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that saw it haha!

[@thomaskraemer6583]

Lol, it definitely grabbed my attention.

[@shampoovta]

the colors look south western like the painted desert.

[@CenterStarsChannel]

I agree. A sedimentary look. I think he should call it 'Layers' myself and think it should be lit up inside!

[@Kuasimodem]

Almost like a dust storm viewed between mountain peaks. I like it!

[@jwall6006]

I’ve never seen anything like that in Arizona sediment or a dust storm. At Halloween eating candy corn, yes. Arizona is a gorgeous desert, red rocks and high country with the incredible Grand Canyon. I’ve lived here all my life, come visit the Sonoran Desert, it’s incredible!

[@allwortht]

J Wall I like Arizona as well, even though I live in Alberta, had a family vacation back in 2010, went to Yuma, San Diego. We left the cold here in February 1st and got home March 1st. 👍

[@GreatSmithanon]

It looks like something you'd find in someone's mid 70's living room as like a lamp or something. If you drilled a bit deeper and put a lightbulb socket into it it might actually make for a pretty decent lamp.

[@bryanholden6487]

Lava lamp? :-)

[@morleybraun8162]

actually one of my fav’s. really love it. lollipop? hummmm

[@jordanosborne413]

Absolutely AMAZING, so beautiful, unexpected!

[@victorsykes5334]

Dude! It's weird cool. looks like it fits your KZbin personality. Love it. It could be made into a lamp.

[@Jammer.1]

it could be a lamp base & add a led night-light inside that glows through the resin !

[@Alwis-Haph-Rytte]

That's exactly what I thought, I hope he does one like this. A more transparent pour for a night light, a med blue or dark green with light pearl mix/swirl in either. I hope he makes a shallow bowl with the scrap he cut off.

[@bob900868]

I was thinking that as well, call it the lollipop lamp!

[@jug3362]

Candy corn in a piece of wood to me 👌

[@jaytee4645]

Man I was thinking you should revisit this if you still have it and make it a lamp. That would be.... LIT

[@davidkassover9832]

at 15:19 or so, the shape is reminiscent of a Lava Lamp. Hey, I remember the '60s, that means I didn't fully experience them.

[@devaun6045]

that means you wher to busy getting high?

[@SixRavenEight]

You created a representation of The Spirit of Candy Corn which resides in the old wood forests of Philadelphia. She wears her colours differently as her mood or the seasons dictate and when people channel her they get whatever incarnation she is in at that moment. You caught her in her autumn phase, really lovely. That wood really is beautiful. Nick, dearest, you've got to start learning what wood you're working with so we can learn too. I say that with love and respect. Thanks for the video, Nick. ♥

[@mirandaa640]

Candy corn

[@hvaughan84]

That's exactly what I saw

[@gregdagg9305]

The word I am going to use is "classy", very eye catching.. Another over the top NZ project..

[@dawncornwell394]

only one in the world is priceless...I love it

[@josephstuby8373]

Art is art. I've told my son (he's 8) when you draw or do other types of art, no one can tell you it's wrong. For when you do an art project, it is always right if you say it is. You cannot be wrong with your art project. I love this channel and would love to try wood turning!

[@seangere9698]

Liquid tint doesn't mix as swirls, it just mixes totally as one new color. You have to use dry pigments to get that effect or gel pigments and only lightly mix together. Candy corn vase.

[@shaunno85]

Hey Nick if you could replicate some of your results, I reckons try again with new piece of wood and make a volcano, it could be very explosive episode. 😁

[@jessicacolombo6630]

As Bob Ross said.. “no mistakes just happy accidents.”

[@custombikedesigns343]

Happy little clouds!

[@PerAnkh418]

There..

[@mrpoopo2320]

Tell that to this guys parents

[@crystalfranklin2583]

@@custombikedesigns343 and trees! Don't forget the trees!

[@heatherclements2680]

Just what I was going to say!

[@DogAlpha]

I love it when a plan comes together! -Hannibal from the A Team. Anyways in America that looks like a big piece of candy corn made at Halloween holidays.

[@garryevans8676]

Your imagination is contagious just proves there are no limits for creativity. Really enjoy your talent.

[@tinaheron5825]

remember what Bob Ross used to say - "There are no mistakes just happy accidents!" For the record I like it!

[@KismetSarken]

The resin layers and colors remind me of agate. It can be layered and colored a lot like that. Pretty cool.

[@RyuRaeArashi]

Spooptober isn't for months, but giant candy corn was amusing xD Spoop time all the time. I absolutely love it.

[@gundecker9024]

I'm glad you post the jobs that dont go as planned, its inspiration for us noobs. Appreciate the video.

[@bonniekimble4749]

Never would have imagined something so pretty coming from that huge piece of wood. Beautiful!

[@laynee2548]

I love that it looks like candy corn 😍😆

[@PhyleXTension82]

The colours remind me of the Life Saver lollies I had as a kid... Or maybe a Calippo icy pole... I quite like it regardless!

[@grayscreations7004]

I think with the first two resins you did, they weren’t mixed long enough for the cloudiness to clear before you add wet colour into each cup, and they had separated from one another - not being swirled in together after you poured them in.

[@woody_woooooo5807]

I'm 17 and just did my first ever burl bowl. Respect to you for carving through that chunk like a champ. I found it hard on my hand with the red gum burl peice

[@ChayaCuevasCohen]

I think it’s definitely worthy of a number. A unique, one of a kind project.

[@galogiha]

funny how the "elephant's foot" ended up looking like an "elephant's willie". Hahaha. considering the kind of shaving you must have got from that, you should cast them into a new blank with clear resin. IDK, could be fun.

[@talyamohammed8178]

Hahahhahah

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

Have you seen a N elephant willie?

[@Fuzionchamber-t6r]

You should try mixing those marbles with the swirls in the middle of them with resign of some sort and turn it into and old vintage lantern kind of thing but with a funky twist

[@AlatarBlaze]

You should do something else like that with more translucent colors and put a light bulb down into the bottom and make the whole thing a lamp

[@seanmiranda8551]

@Andy Mac hahaha me too!

[@karayates3646]

That's what I was thinking toooo. Even a vase lamp would look cool like this.

[@Thotianna96]

Kinda looks like Arizona and the mountains/colors there! Love this it turned out awesome!

[@emmkaa2099]

From a few different directions I see a desert sunset - huge jutting, jagged rocks in my desert! Love you Nick, MK ❤

[@barryroesch30]

Hey, Nick. I love how the burl came out on that. What if, for a future “revisit” project, you took the power carver to the lollipop section and filled it in with a different color. I also think it could make a pretty cool lamp if you ran LEDs up from the bottom. Good job!

[@frayed_tulips]

When you did the first pour, “forbidden soup” immediately popped into my head

[@ItsKiraLyn]

Ash Fox Hahahaha I love forbidden foods of twitter!!! I think forbidden honey that’s actually molten glass has made me laugh the hardest so far!

[@requiemPieIesdomine]

That wood is beautiful! A sort of candy corn a copia!🙃👽🙃

[@maxinemccappin7919]

It looks like a sunset over the sea between cliffs to me. The wood is exquisite. Love it.

[@lisamaries5677]

It looks like the top of a giant pencil coming out of the wood! LOVE IT! Might be a great umbrella stand!

[@jmchez]

When I read, "Elephant's Foot", I thought, "Is someone insane?". That's because I was thinking of the molten chunk of reactor core at Chernobyl. That one is really hard and you really can't get close to it if you value your life.

[@HKAbsolutus]

put an LED light bulb in it it will make a great lamp

[@loricreel2463]

‘70’s throwback... all you need now is a lava lamp to sit next to it.

[@kvc9958]

Not sure how I missed this one... You seemed to have so much fun then. I hope you find your "happy" again. You and yours have been in my thoughts often.

[@kathleenmholland8055]

It looks, to me, like a rather abstract sunset depicted in the mountains and desert rock formations here in our American Southwest. It's beautiful, Mr Z!

[@Destros2ndone]

that's a heck of a buttp.......*ehrm candy corn and failures are there to be made even i don't think it's a fail just a happy accident ;)

[@EllenJB]

It's the B-P vase! That's it! Oh Nick, you got me laughing pretty hard with this one, then my husband came over to see what I was laughing over...I showed it to him. His response: "Oh my God!"

[@AsAboveISoBelow]

Yeah, there's another youtuber around who does lathework, and a few of his pieces have seemed a bit... "pleasing" to the "eye" as it were.

[@elephantsradorable7689]

“Although we like weird, this is strange in a weird way.” 😂🤪

[@jadeivy32]

I actually love how it turned out. Matches my decor perfectly

[@timbutler3733]

Good recovery. Nice to see even the pro turners occasionally have challenges during projects.

[@rosalindstanley702]

I think it’s amazing. One of my favourites of all of your projects

[@brielleburkett8591]

Doing my makeup at two am watching this because WE DO STRANGE

[@dazza2023]

Interesting result.... Personally, idve hollowed it out the other way round, so the resin was at the bottom and the wider end was hollowed into a vase or similar, but, it's an interesting concept regardless 👍

[@jenlewis864]

Same it would be a funky vase.

[@deejay4866]

Was thinking the same but stand it on the wood end with a light on the inside

[@Natalie1999]

That piece of wood had so much potential 😩 sorry the gaudy coloured resin ruined it for me clear resin would of been so much better

[@scottmartin5414]

I have to agree....

[@cesarmalon7829]

Me with literally every video he makes 😂 but he still sucks me in!!

[@mrpoopo2320]

This was horrible

Omg! You are so bloody funny! I need your sense of humour. In this crazy world you help me see the brighter side.

[@gordonmonks]

Looks like a planet scene..I actually love the thing and would definitely add it to my collections.

[@compuwise]

When you were trying to decide what color resin, I was thinking that from what I've seen it's kind of hard to mess up colors when doing resin. Then I saw that first color. 😁😄😆

[@gotchagr]

Bloody hell! Is this a vase or a multi-colour torpedo? :)

[@everybodypanic2924]

It kinda looks like a sunrise coming over a hill with fog....

[@ChrisBrown-ud3ng]

I didn't think I was going to like this one at all, but I swear it turned out amazingly well.

[@RedPandaYosh]

Adding another comment but at 13:56 - 14:05 nick made a whole new type of video.... for all those who love woodworking and resin.

[@SarushaIsMyName]

Kind of looks like the tree grew around a road constructuon cone.

[@andrewj4241]

The faces you can see in the grain of the wood git like dog face or something about 16 56 /17.00 amazing

[@ayties5113]

The end result reminds me of the shape of a lava lamp. Install a light, make a the resin parts from inside a little thinner and voila, a lava lamp.

[@CosmicDeath]

If I were looking at this piece and hadn't seen this video, I'd have thought it was an intentional design - it looks really cool!

[@nickojc850]

I love wood turning. I love the constant smell of pine and conifer.

[@joannewink7101]

Me: Thats a nice sidetable..Nick: resin!!! Me: nooooooooo.

[@timcarter1164]

It's almost like a pack of petrified Lifesavers. If Lifesavers were packaged in trees that is.

[@ccjj85101014]

I kinda feel sad, you got an amazing piece of wood that could have been sculpted into something unique, then poured resin in and pretty much got rid of the wood. Might as well use regular wood

[@tandiparent1949]

Lol, EVERYTHING I've seen him do includes resin....it's SUPPOSED to have resin with it, that's the type of artist that he is 🙃❤🙃

[@tommythepoet8073]

Been watching your videos like crazy during this pandemic. Thank you

Q: Why did Nick call the log Elephant's leg?. A: He thought it was humor-ous!

[@Archiemonty]

Nick will you be doing anything with the other section?

[@SuzyHousecoat]

AT 16:40 you can see ET's face...but it morphs into a dog's face at 16:43! The colors remind me of the Halloween treat candy corn.
