I TURNED a Simple Globe Ornament into a Masterpiece! 

Mike, it is always a joy to watch your turning. Thank you.

MR. PEACE.You and MR.WALDT are the most informative turners on You Tube. While many are artistic, and turn beautiful pieces, they lack information that is CRUCIAL to new bees such as myself. We need to know DETAIL, in the tennons, and the morteses, the use of tools and what tools to use, etc. Not just for beginners to end with a nice piece, but more over for their SAFETY in doing so. This is ONLY accomplished by verbal instruction as well as visual. Keep on being you, obviously talented, but a master of instruction! Thank you.

As always, beautiful work. Being a new turner. I watch as many videos as possible. Thank you Mike.

I like the little stand Mike, great way to keep enjoying a piece that would otherwise be banished to a box in the closet for 11 months out of the year. Thanks!

Enjoy watching your video

Thanks! I’m going to try this today!

Great little project Mike, nice and easy...and no hollowing required! Thanks for taking us through your methods to achieve this beautiful ornament. Cheers Mike

Cool project. Between this and the trees I think have some gifts sorted for this year. 👍

I loved it. Great work. Thank you so much. Be safe. Take care. Have a good Holliday.

Great idea Mike and nicely presented, many thanks!

Nice job .I haven't gotten into the same finials yet.

Nice project. Thanks for posting for our enjoyment and knowledge.

The second in my Christmas ornament project video view!! If you didn't have a master ornament to start with, I certainly don't, what or how would you plan out the project? Secondly, you use a LOT of different tools for this project. Did you really need them all or did you use them to show all the different tools that could be used? If you were doing this on your own, which tool or tools would you use, just curious here. Thanks for the video, take care and stay safe!!!

Mike, that is a very attractive Christmas tree ornament. Simple and very quick.

Nice project Mike. I like the 'no hollowing' aspect!!! Well done and very well explained. Cheers, Rich

Thank you, Mike. Yesterday I stood in front of my lathe hoping to make an ornament out of a birch branch similar in size to yours, but I hadn’t any idea how to hold it in the lathe. I’m ready to go today. Good information here. Merry Christmas!

hi mike, ive just bought a lathe, many years after I last used one. wow, I have so much to learn!!! thanks for your videos.

Nice work Mike, great timing for the upcoming Christmas season.

Very nice Mike....!Thank you for reminding us it's that time of the year again...!

Thanks Mike and a Happy and Holy Christmas from Me and Mine to You and Yours from Downunder

Very much enjoyed watching the finesse with which you created the ornament. So delicate & refined compared to 'hogging out' a bowl. A great reminder to get started on all those Christmas Presents, also. Thanks Mike

Great little project Mike, Cheers, Harry

Nice work Mike. Always an inspiration. You could have held that ball against a scrap piece of wood to prevent a blow out. Our club challenge this fall is to decorate a 6' Christmas tree for charity. Will definitely try your technique. Thanks

Nice project M. Mike. Inspiring.

Beautiful work! Like! Good luck!!!

It's that time of year! (Already?)

whats the reason for not cutting "uphill"?
