The Art of the Stick (English)

A bit of a preamble here. I read all of the comments. I try to delete those that have swear words in them and those that are way off topic.

If you feel compelled to make a negative comment, please try to be constructive about it by suggesting links that show alternative ways of doing some of the things I do. This will help someone who may wish to try making one of these pieces to have as broad a perspective as possible.

I have more (and shorter) videos on my Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/sumac4711 if you are interested.

Thanks. My original opening comments are below.

This is the original 'Art of the Stick' video that I made for a presentation in Korea. I added some additional information and video on at the end.

There have been a number of comments about the way I have left the viewer hanging at the end of the video. Not only was this video used for a presentation, it is also used for instruction. The video ends where traditional wood turning techniques take over. However, if you wish to see the completed piece you will find it on my website here: http://www.jimlorrimanwoodturner.com/making-a-stick-vase.html. Scroll down, the piece is at the bottom of the page. You can also find similar vases here: http://www.jimlorrimanwoodturner.com/vases.html

The Creative Lives Project mentioned at the end of this video did not get any traction. I encourage all of you who have any skills in the arts, crafts or culture to teach the video camera what you know. Talk to your local museum to see if they will creative a digital archive where these skills can be on record for any who wish to study and become adept at them.

In 30 years (2046) many of the skill sets that are practicing today will be gone. We have the means and technology to capture much of which has been learned. Please take the little extra time required to leave an archive of your accomplishments behind. There are generations to come who will be grateful that you did.
