This channel will be dedicated to making projects in my shop and anything else that interests me or I think will interest you. Most of what I do involves turning but content will vary. There will be a combination of uploaded videos mixed with the occasional live feed. The processes and techniques I use are the ones which work best for me and I make no claim that things on this channel are the correct or safest methods. Copy at your own risk.
great review but suggest one thing at "2:00" in the video. You use your finger to show where the pillar needs to be positioned (towards the headstock) but you say, that the "pointed side should point out" and I am sure you meant "in" as that would be in the direction of the headstock. Minor issue but you could make a small adjustment. Thank you for making the video!!
That is simply beautiful. I really like the one line of maple. Wasn’t sure at first but the more I watch this the more I like it. What is the height and width of the urn?
How can you not value your time, talent and expense for only a few bucks each? Better off mowing yards if it’s money that motivates you. Otherwise give them away for free, you’re close as it is. Markets are different wherever you go. Maybe you’re in a poor economy, I don’t know. Each must decide.
I’m unsure what you mean Mike. Understand that a few bucks each times a few of each per hour is not just a few bucks. It is significant. I took my time for demonstrating purposes. These are profitable I assure you. I appreciate you watching!
I am not sure who Elana Ross is, but she shouldn't be reviewing this machine. If you tried to use the machine the way she has is set up you will probably hurt yourself. The second piece she inserts in the tail stock is the drive center. I cannot speak to the quality of the machine, but it is obvious this woman has not used ANY lathe, much less this one!
You need to use good glue and put it on the face and around the edge. Make sure glue surfaces are clean. I use arrow slow setting sticks and have never had an issue. Thank you for watching!
I def just haven't had enough practice everyone I watch gets that wood throwing. I bought some carbide until I my sharpening kit shows up but the tear out it leaves is almost unsandable I can't tell if I'm doing something crazy wrong or just not technique efficient or what
Hey Justin! Carbide probably are not the answer for these. I suggest a few traditional tools, nothing throws shavings like a good gouge! I appreciate you watching.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman yea I definitely understand a gouge is the way. I have a good set of bowl gouges and parting tools from Benjamin's best. It's just taking forever to get the sharpening jig and wheels in
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman oh yea I have no interest in using just carbide. It's just a necessary evil right now while I wait for these long shopping orders that for some reason take three weeks
Some woods you can get away with. I turned it thin and that also reduces the chance for it to crack. Don’t try it with fruit woods like cherry, apple etc. Those will split in two. Thank you for watching!
There is one problem I see is some people think they can use it for hummingbirds. Sorry they will never nest in it. Google it if you don't believe me. So selling it as hummingbird house would be a scam. You could use it as a knick-knack to put in your house like craftsmen's of this video states ornamental. And yes they very nice.
I have no experience with copper jewelry. It seems to me like it would tarnish. I see copper pipes bottoms of copper pots and pans. They take a lot of cleaning. How about perspiration on copper??
