This is a re-edit of a video I made last year around this time that I took down because it had copyright issues with its Christmas music. Hope you enjoy it!
Here's the link to Rebecca DeGroot's video of making these. She's way better than me, but I think I did okay for a first try.

❤. Watching anyone useca lathe is so relaxing. I almost burned my breakfast because i couldnt pull my eyes away from the screen. Lucky for me my nose works faster than my brain. Lol

@WoodenThingsAndStuff Месяц назад

Haha. Thanks for watching! Glad you didn't burn the house down!

@retiredtom1654 3 месяца назад

You gave a great reason to make GA-nomes... because it makes you laugh, & that gave me a big smile. Thanks!

@WoodenThingsAndStuff 2 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@pikeevans8559 2 года назад

If something makes you laugh or just smile...it is worth doing it. if someone buys them because they make them laugh or smile....then you have made part of this world a happier place. Priceless!

@WoodenThingsAndStuff 2 года назад

Both of these things happened from this project, which makes me even happier. Thanks for checking it out!

Exactly right!

I noticed in the background you have a rigid table saw looked like the one with the granite top. If so , I have the same one hope you like yours the same as I do. Enjoyed watching have fun making your gnomes. I sell mine at the local farmers market. Jim's wood shop.😀

@WoodenThingsAndStuff Месяц назад

@@jimschaffer9831 it's not the granite top, but it's served me well for quite a while and certainly isn't high on my list of things to upgrade. Thanks for watching!

If I could like this a second time a year later I would. I need to try this. I have all the stuff from a year ago. I need some Gah-Nomes myself. 😂

@WoodenThingsAndStuff 11 месяцев назад

I'll do one on the live show one of these weeks to help give people the confidence to try it. I'm live every Saturday at 5:45-ish pacific time.

@michaellionart4841 2 года назад

@WoodenThingsAndStuff 2 года назад

Agreed.

@WoodenThingsAndStuff 2 года назад

Indeed! And we all need to remember this more often. It's great to make things we NEED, but once in a while it's nice to make something because it's FUN.

@keithkimsten5111 Год назад

Hey Mike! Nice "G"nome! LOL. No more pounding iron? Me too... I'm turning bowls and such just for fun now. The old blacksmith shop is gone now open air cold storage now. K&M no more. Shrug time goes on huh. My best to you and yours.

@WoodenThingsAndStuff Год назад

Think you may have me mistaken for someone else, because I've never done any blacksmithing. Thanks for watching, though. And for the nice words. All the best to you and yours, as well.

@keithkimsten5111 Год назад

@@WoodenThingsAndStuff My mistake. You have a left handed twin about your age near me, if he's still around, and he too is a skilled craftsman of many trades. If I bump into Mike M. I'll have him check your sites out, I'm sure he will agree and get a chuckle that there is an uncanny resemblance... LOL. Anyhow, I enjoyed your humor and work. So... Shoulder to the grindstone and keep the wind to your back Mike.

@theincredulousr Год назад

Just starting to wood turn and I kept questioning in my head why do people start with square blocks when its so easy to remove the corners on the saw and get an octagonal blank which would take far less chippings to get to round stock. You have at least shown it to be a sensible thing to do. thanks

@WoodenThingsAndStuff Год назад

I don't always do it, but sometimes it makes sense, time-wise, as well as being easier on the turning tools.

@WoodMonk3y Год назад

Just for fun look up Nisse (Nordic gnomes)

@@WoodenThingsAndStuff ~ Some more than others, I spent nearly three hours this morning fine tuning a Stanley #45 for a plow cut for some drawer bottoms. Could have had the setup and cuts done in 25 minutes on the router table… but what’s the fun in that? I got to listen to the wood fibers actually being cut and I got to smell the pitch of the wood without doing untold damage to my lungs! Three hours vs 25 minutes… I know… crazy!

@WoodenThingsAndStuff Год назад
