Nice work!! But I would have cut the edges with the bandsaw to make it octagonal before turning it. Saves a lot of dirt and you have some cool pieces of wood for future projects😊✌️
Two of my brothers learned the hard way. One took the tips off of 3 of his fingers and the other one was ripping a bed sheet of wood resulting in a trip to the ER with less thumb. 😢
And his hands... wearing gloves when using powerful rotating machinery is a bad idea if they get snagged. As my first engineering instructor told us, never put your finger where you wouldn't put your dick...
One slip, is all it takes, not sure why people don't use the safety devices designed to keep your fingers/hands anywhere NEAR that blade. That's my safety tip for the day.
@@joepublisher166 I think these tools predate the concept of safety devices. If I had a shop of these same tools. I'd be afraid to go in there. Much less turn anything on and use it.
Yes, the safety violations were horrific. But, you thought this was nice work? It was rushed, hogged out, grain torn out, voids in not gluing some pieces, and disgusting finish. It was mass-produced shite. I've seen better results from pallet wood.
@@wendelltaylor1081 While I do have 3 beautiful wood boats, water skis, almost 100 sets of large stadium speakers etc. I passed my written and safety tests on the lathe as a freshman in high school in 1974. What you are doing is of fallacious logic. You are requiring a person to have more talent/experience than the person they are criticizing. It's like saying that YOU can't tell if the milk in the fridge has gone bad because you're not a cow. Certainly we can all see a diamond ring is beautiful without being a volcano. How can YOU say it's good unless YOU have adequate experience to judge? I listed the things I saw wrong in my first post. Anyone experienced with even WATCHING wood-turning videos could see how bad it is. You are without logic. You fail.
I live in Sweden, and everything concerning safety at work is priotised, so watching this guy working on an extremely dangerous saw without any safety guides at all gets my heart rate up.
What caught my eye for safety was him wearing gloves and not rolling his sleeves up while turning that block of wood on the lathe, my high school shop teacher made us watch safety films and take a test about this before we could operate any of the equipment. All it takes is one snag and he’s going to get pulled into the lathe and seriously injured or killed.
@@josephschmeggins6311 If they make rookie mistakes like trying to turn a square piece, then yes, probably. A hang-glider who doesn't attach a safety harness, a rock climber wearing hiking boots, a skateboarder without a helmet etc. Stupidity is rife, and some people will almost certainly try to emulate what they see in these videos. Downvoting tells youtube's algorithm to tone down the promotion of particular videos, and perhaps those halfwits who think the can safely do these things will instead see a video that shows sensible methods.
Sorry to upset you but it is only in the last 100 years or so that we have had the synthetic adhesives that would hold together under the turning process.
Oh my goodness that is absolutely gorgeous! I did not know what to expect. Beautiful! I must admit I was worried about your fingers a few times 😮Beautifully done ❤🎉
Hola Woodturning, buenas tardes Es increíble que esta magnífica pieza sea el producto de encolar pedazos de madera de distintos colores y tamaños. Muchísimas gracias por registrar el paso a paso y compartirlo con todos nosotros. Muy buen trabajo. Segui adelante. Gracias. ¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2023 para todos!
That was absolutely amazing!!! While you were cutting and gluing then when it was turning and you stopped my mouth hut the floor! Absolutely beautiful!
Marvellous..! It must be years and years of practice and wanting to do a perfect job. The final result was so symmetrical, and I never expected such a degree of accuracy..!
Здравствуйте, все очень хорошо и красиво, только не обижайтесь с техникой безопасности чуть слабоват, а так мужик что надо, желаю вам здоровье и кавказского долголетия.🙌, Черкесс.
That is beautiful! I couldn’t figure out at first what it could possibly be, I am blown away, it’s beautiful! Love the way the different wood colors come out.
I'm a woodworker making toys (for the last 10yrs). I've often thought about getting a lathe and thought that could be fun. Then I think " why bother, you can only make chair legs with it".....Wow from a block of wood !!!! Truly amazing work of art. Right I'm off to look at lathes :) :)
We always had a piece that was very mysterious and interesting and we kept wondering how it was made. Today these mysterious questions have been answered thoughtfully and precisely.
I wonder if he knew how it would look before hands. This is probably a result of mixture of previous trial and errors and some design work. I doubt it was designed precisely. In the old days, it would be very difficult to design something like this precisely, but now with computers, it’s possible. Just enter the structure of the glued block of woods, and the cross section profile of the vase. The computer will produce a picture of the end product in less than a second. Then you can modify on the computer the structure of the glued block of woods and the profile of the vase to obtain what you think is the most esthetically pleasing end product.
Сам не знаю зачем до конца посмотрел. Думал что все таки не зря такие потуги человек делал. А в итоге суть такая : если коту делать нечего, то он яйца лижет. Я уже не говорю о себестоимости этого "шедевра". Брать кучу хорошего дерева, без конца его резать/клеить, чтобы бы вышла эта банальщина!
It's a very expensive hobby, trust me. Just when you think you've finally got your shop complete, there's something else you find you need. Generally it's consumables (sand paper, glue etc.) or more clamps. Just a fact of the hobby.
Please try it! Use good quality tools and a decent hobby lathe, if you laminate off-cuts (you can sometimes get them for free from woodyards) you won't break the bank. I can't wood turn anymore due to arthritis but have to say I would've loved to turn this piece. PS if you do decide to take this up do not skimp on your tool sharpening equipment!!! I learned that lesson the hard way. Good luck!
I would have saved a lot of material by leaving out at least 10 pieces of those that you used and cut away. At the very least 4 could have been saved for a later work. It was a really good piece you've done and deserves for you to be proud of it. Well done.
Without being really hollow, it's just a nice piece of wood. No art to hollow it out, with thin sides. As a proper urn is, but the piece of wood is nice.
