@@theokingshango well, neighboring house anyway. I love turning videos but this is the first one that made me go, holy shit I wouldn’t even want to be in the same room with this going on.
Man, I don’t want to be a buzzkill, but you made me very uncomfortable when you started putting your thumb so close to the tip of your chisel. With a piece of wood that big, if your finger gets caught in the wood, chances are it’s going to get pulled down, towards the tool rest, which, in your case, could act as a blade. From there, depending on the speed and how much of a grip it gets on you, you can lose from the tip of your finger to a part of an arm. Be careful, my friend, you have to keep yourself intact so that we can keep appreciating that beautiful work of yours!
Wow all those shavings, you could put them into a barrel with some epoxy and turn a whole new project when it dried, there must have been tons of shavings...lol Beautiful piece, a real work of incredible art
@kevinmoore5053 Yes, a piece of work for sure. Your idea about the epoxy? Good luck breathing in all that epoxy dust. Not good stuff. Trust me, after years of using all kinds of solvents and paint strippers. Those fumes smell funky for a reason.
Beautiful indeed.. but it makes me wonder if this is part of the Pacific Northwest Redwood groves that are stockpiled by companies and wealthy businessmen in China. I would rather have the groves back…
Can only imagine how terrifying it must be to sit beside something of that mass spinning at those speeds. Let alone to poke and prod it with tools just wanting to bite in and take you on the ride of your life. Then you do it enough times that it all seems like it’s normal.
I’m more amazed that those small points hold all of that mass. If that thing came loose, it’s definitely game over. Amazing skill, you have to respect a tool & piece of of material like that or it will make you pay. That’s what makes this guy a master, he knows how far to push it safely.
That was simply beautiful how long did it take you to make it? I especially love the designs that came with the wood after it was painted it stood out.
It’s spindle turning…..nothing complicated about it. Impressed with the endurance required, but so much of the wood could have been cut away initially (and used for other projects) instead of turning it into shavings- “work smarter, not harder” - and I thought (hoped) we’d see a fountain, with colored water at night under lights, flowing out of the top (I thought that’s why it was drilled out in the center, for plumbing). That’d be cool. You could carve all sorts of wonderful designs into it - but if it’s going to be left plain, as is, well….it could have been styrofoam or resin (and a lot less work, and one less dead tree). Hope you’re planting trees to replace the ones sacrificed to ornaments…..remember, the trees made life POSSIBLE on this floating rock in the first place !!!! Without them, this place is full of CO2, and completely unlivable……and we thank them by chopping them up, endangering our own survival. BRILLIANT Ever consider how a tree produces hundreds of thousands of leaves every year, yet the earth around it doesn’t get used up ? How do they make all that material “out of thin air” ? Leaves are mostly carbon and water…..trees pull carbon right out of the air, and can DRINK water right from the air (mostly at night when humidity levels go way up) Now there’s 8 billion of us, taking in oxygen and exhaling CO2…….and what percent of the world’s trees are GONE ? YOU SHOULD FIND OUT Because there’s a DISASTER coming WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE TREES THAT MAKE THE OXYGEN WE BREATHE.
@@niptart1275 You’re right but that’s not the whole picture There are a million times more people Today’s tree:human ratio is extremely concerning, the twenty year trend is awful and we are cutting down trees at an alarming rate Look it up
I never saw a more satisfying video on the RU-vid, but this one. I personally have seen practical wood and metal lathes, but this video sets my experience down to zero. By the way I like your hand safety pads, made out of shoe, I personally admire it because your safety comes first. Good job! Thank you for sharing your experience and skills. A greate gratitude from Ethiopia.
@@STEVENMULHALL I'm sure you never saw what a waste look like. In this typical video there is no wasted product, but the scrapes can be used as a burning wood like the fire wood. Nothing else ... no hard feelings brother
You ever consider finding a way to take those layers off as sheets instead of trimming it down for that first bit. It would make gorgeous floor or wall coverings! The gradients of wood and bark in a sheet are amazing! And you make some extra money while learning a new skill? This is an amazing video all on its own. I just thought about this and didn’t know if you had considered it.
Muy muy bonito trabajo sea como fuere,bonito diseño,buenos trabajadores a pesar de la herramienta un tanto inadecuada ,son maestros,espero que les paguen bien,porque me pareció algo riesgoso
Love the design but in my opinion I think you should have just clear varnish because the wood speak for it self that spray take away the beauty of the wood but it was beautiful
When he first started working the rough wood on the lathe. That was the scariest thing I’ve seen for a while. I don’t know about that finish, maybe it looks better in the flesh. Amazing work though by a master.
