Love how you make it look simple and make the simple look fancy. I always like how you narrate your hand tool use. I know to us experienced turners it is second nature but it never hurts to hear it said as there are beginners out there and I sure like the reminders. Have a great holiday to you and your family.
Thank you very much, Ken! Ye, floating the bevel is second nature when you have been turning a whil but it is something you have to keep reminding students in a workshop. God bless.
Hi Mike, looked for you at the AAW show but didn't run into you. Spent some time with your buddy Ken at Woodturners Wonders, and picked up his Inertial sander. Spent a bunch of time watching Stewart Batty turn bowls! That guy is quite talented. Hope your show was good too! I had a blast.
Thanks, Sam. I figured I would take advantage of seasonal popularity of ornament videos. I needed to turn a few for Christmas and enjoy these. This was the first time I textured them after watching one of your earlier birdhouse ornament videos.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Mike, I am loving the tub buddy....It pops up all over and is a big help. I am really close to upgrading. What do you think. Happy Christmas. did you get your new lathe. Sam
Do not remember the name but it was the small one for ornaments and such. I have nevr used it for acrylics. Because it slices I doubt if it would work as well as a flat carbide scraper.
Nice ornament. Did you finish the body of the house? Have you tried the negative rake version of the round carbide tool bit? Also, D-Way Tools has some very nice negative rake double ended tools designed specifically for boxes and small spindle projects that really work well and I don’t have to have 20 years of turning experience to use successfully. Have a great holiday season and stay safe!!
I used a shellace based friciton polish. I have several HSS negative rake scrapers so do no plan to buy a carbide one. The Hunter tool slices and leaves a superior finish to a NRS, especially on a soft wood like box elder that is more prone to tearout.
