I have been doing wire inlay for about a year now. It started out as an idea, and as I fumbled through, made mistakes, and finally got it to work…..I find this on YouTube. Your attention to detail and preventative measures taken has won me over. I’m happy with my journey in this. Thanks for your efforts.

Woow, that's absolutely beautiful. I've learnt loads thank you

[picksalot]

One of the things I like best about Woodturning videos is the real time creative problem solving that is required. Thanks

[petermarsh]

Dear Sir, beautiful work. Love the format: Quietly spoken commentary, gently humming machinery and NO ANNOYING MUSIC! I can only aspire to be able to emulate your talent on the lathe, one day.

[Dustin_the_wind]

What a neat idea, an awesome accent that blends into the natural beauty of the bowl.

Thanks Jim

I thoroughly enjoy our videos, and the thoroughness is most educational, thank you from Kansas City, Missouri USA

I see this bowl reincarnated as a wedding bowl. Beautiful once again.

[joebainter]

Love the way the copper blended with the wood, another great bowl

[MrDilmaher]

Great to see a left hander turning in reverse or forward to us lefties nice job will try this myself

[hughj]

Another beautiful bowl. Your videos are addictive. It's like a netflix video binging ;). I can't stop! Cheers.

[stevemurphy]

Very cool using common copper wire to make such a difference in a bowl !!

[margaretwilliams]

Love it. I am so happy watching these old videos. Seeing so much talent. Love that each piece is unique, that each little imperfection makes it a one of a kind. That is why I would rather have one of a kind then a mass produced.

Very nice! That wood 🪵 is really pretty! Now I want a salad bowl! The extra craftsmanship with the soapstone and copper…AWESOME!

[nanerf]

It's awesome how such a simple concept can be so versatile and unique. Very great job! It must be so therapeutic to spend time making something with your own hands; Especially when they turn out so wonderful.

[lindapepper]

Now this one is my favorite. The wood grain is mesmerizing. It looks like every shade of gold!

[melindadonaldson]

Who gives this a thumbs down? Incredible video. Beautiful bowl.

[medaily]

That walnut is gorgeous and adding the copper inlay makes it even more so!

[janreynolds]

Absolutely gorgeous. I've watched a couple of other wood turners but I like the extra mile you go to seal your work and make it shiny. Always beautiful.

[lewisdickens]

For masterpieces such as this, there should be a 'three thumbs up' icon.

[mariverhagen]

This is lovely. I'm watching your previous episodes from before I discovered your channel.
