What a lot of Bull shit. The bitumen on the pavement would be liquid, actually flowing. Humans could not handle heat like that. Where I live we regularly have summer temperatures in the high 40s C (117 *- 120 *F) . The bitumen on the roads melts, birds drop from trees dead. Nobody ventures outside unless absolutely necessary. You need to have your thermometer recalibrated.
Thanks Chad, I like the Shellac finishes, they dry quickly and as you say, can take a beating. I appreciate you. We are gonna come up and see you one of these days.
What type of wood is this, and what are you doing in this video? Is this the first step in making spectraply, also have you considered turning Kendamas? There's a whole community of Kendama players that pay a premium for american made hand turned damas.
Would you recommend this for a beginner? I’ve used a lathe a handful of times, I am dying to get my own lathe. Just want one that I won’t “outgrow” too fast.
This is an older video and it was a good lathe for me while I had it for sure! My favorite lathe to recommend to folks currently is the Record Power Herald as it has a lot of features that make it good for beginners but also one that you can grow with as you progress in your making, and it is a good price for what you get. I turned on the Herald for several years and then upgraded to their bigger machine but almost everything I turn now could be turned on the Herald. If you are on a budget, a really good way to look for lathes is by joining your local woodturning club as folks are often upgrading and selling their used but perfectly good lathes. (you can also keep your eye on marketplace, craigslist, offer up etc) Watching/reading lots of reviews helps a lot too while you are deciding what lathe is right for you
@@ChadSchimmel would that be the 16006 that you are referring to for beginner lathes? Thanks for the input, my local wood turning club hasn’t had a sale yet, one coming soon so I am most definitely keeping that in mind as well!
Looking at this for helpfull tips for ring turning. Instantly seeing someone do the one thing ya shouldn't. xD Don't wear gloves while working with a spinning machine part. Even the thin plastic ones can pull ya hand in... when they get caught.
Hey Chad, What should be the lathe bed rails height be...say for 5"10" lathe worker? Or a better question may be...what are the ergonomic considerations for placing and mounting a lathe.
right now, I don't have time to take on specific requests for things like this. We do have some watch part blanks available at turners right now I think. What kit were you thinking about?
Generally with wood there is no need to go up to that high of a grit, so with wood I use abranet screen sanding paper as well as Yorkshire grit original, sanding sealer and friction polish. I will also use Zona on hybrids as well. Hope that helps!
