The trick is to keep thinking, until you come up with an idea that just has to be done...
You need an obsessive drive, and to get that drive, you need an idea that you're passionate about.
I usually spend a loooot of time thinking, before I start a project. I build it in my head, and test to see if it's going to work, then tinker with it... I have a pretty good idea of how materials will react, so building it in your head is a good start. Once you have a rough final image, you need to look at that final piece and feel good about it...
Feel that feeling of having it done, and know that when you accomplish this project in real life, you're going to feel amazingly awesome!
then furiously work till it is completed, a slow start and work ethic will only result in a loss of interest in most cases...for me at least..
good luck!
Thanks for the advice! Not finishing projects is a big problem of mine. I still have a hunk of apple wood that I widdled down to a rough shape. I went out and got it from a dead tree near my fence line, after you suggested apple wood for a pipe.
That was a few months ago and I have already started new projects since then,most still failed/incomplete.

but it is a new season, and the time for growth is now

That thing is awesome. It would fit perfectly in with my living room.
Ever sell your work?

hmmm, I wouldn't want to offend an artist by lowballing their work.
I'd definitely take it for $20 bucks. I mean, I can't see it, or touch it, or gauge its construction and tell how long it took. That's a completely random offer

$20 bucks? that wouldn't even cover the cost of materials, much less the "creative aspect" of said materials being manipulated into a piece of art.
but hey, maybe he's hard up for cash

Like I said, from a youtube video it's difficult to determine what the materials are and the construction of the piece. Were I physically present to look at the piece in a gallery it would be a different matter. I've also met plenty of developing artists who have pieces (literally) just laying around so they are more than glad to give them on the cheap.
At the right time, I'd probably pay a couple hundred for it, but typically I buy art in the sub 500 range. Meh, I didn't mean to offend anyone.
