In this video I make a globe from coloured pencils and epoxy resin. The piece was finished with a clear lacquer .. This globe was just a bit of fun and not at all accurate and I wasn't that pleased at how it turned out. If you would like to see more accurate globes that I make you can check them out via the link below ....

    Not sure what is more impressive, that he actually made this nice looking globe, or the fact that he effortlessly drew the entire world map on the globe
  • This brings back old memories of when I was younger watching my grandfather turn wood. He was great at what he did and loved to make art out of whatever wood he could lay his hands on. He is no longer able to turn wood because he has Alzheimer's, but his work will not be forgotten.
  • The amazing thing about art is that some people like and some don't, but the process and skill cannot be denied. I think it's beautiful.
  • i must say, the fact that this guy has the skills and patience to make this is incredible. great job
  • @joecambron208
    The level of skill displayed by this person was off the charts. Let’s see...shaped the ball free hand. Drew the continent’s free hand. Continued to shape the globe flawlessly. Seriously...this is a mad display of skill and precision. This is exactly why skilled artisans like this gentleman are a rare bread and why their creations are so expensive and sought after! Well done sir!

    BEAUTIFUL! As a retired World History teacher, I know now what has been missing from my classroom for the last 35 years. 🌎
  • @aspirecan4829
    I was in awe when he developed a perfect sphere without a template. THEN, to go and hand draw the continents with ISLANDS... 🤯🤯🤯 I'm in AWE! This turned out so beautiful!
  • @MakaylaTomasi
    I never know what to expect in these sorts of things. I just trust the process and it works every time. That is gorgeous.

    Every time I watch one of these videos I go through the same cycle of “Oh no why would you do that” “Never mind that looks awesome” “Oh no why would you do that” “Never mind its great” “Oh no why would you do that” “Woah that’s so cool”
  • @Timothy-NH
    This came out really cool. Would love to see an inversion of it, instead of routing out the continents, route out the oceans and then fill with a blue resin.
  • I’m a colorist, which means I’m an adult who likes to color fairies and cats, mostly with colored pencils. At first I was like, what a waste of hopefully cheap pencils, but was pretty stunned at how cool it looked after the first time you shaped it into the globe. Really fascinating video. Beautiful work.
  • I remember watching this video when it first came out. It's nice to see something pop back in my recommended years later.
  • @dustinc6869
    would love to see this same idea with the ocean's inverted instead. Use a blue resin and allow the colors to shine through the continents. Love your stuff.
  • @gmerc-zu6wz
    This is why I love YouTube, wasn't even looking for anything like this, just popped up as a suggested video. By far the coolest one I've watched in a long time.
  • @emilyvee4922
    I love this so much. You should have a place where classrooms can send retired pencils and you send a video back of what you made. -teacher

    Beautiful work! Additionally your talent is not lost in achieving such a piece. I agree with some of the others …the effect would be far more realized if the oceans were recessed . However one perceives your finished ball of pencils , no one would dare say it was not done well. Because your art is far exceeding most wood working artist attempts to step out of the box and challenge themselves as you have and succeeded! Thank you for sharing your talent.
  • I don't know what's the most impressive: the concept itself or the free handed map of the world. The look of that first turning with the colored dots and elongated pencil shapes was delightfully surprising.
  • @followtheboat
    I lost count of the amount of times I thought "oh no, he's ruined it", only to be proved wrong. Every step of this process was fascinating with a beautiful end result. Very satisfying video to watch!
  • When this showed up on my YouTube feed, I thought oh no not another pencil vase, bowl whatever, but I watched it to pass the time. All I can say is WOW was I pleasantly surprised. So glad I watched this!❤️🇨🇦👍
  • An amazing piece of art and craftsmanship!!! Absolutely beautiful!! Wish it were mine.
