Nick turns his elegant rolling pin into a quick lesson in basic lathe turning techniques. Using this awesome turning project as an example, Nick explains how every turning, no matter how complex, is comprised of just three simple shapes. He then walks you through the tools and techniques used to create each shape. You come away with the core knowledge you need to turn almost anything! If you'd like the shop drawings for these rolling pins, complete with step by step instructions and full-size templates for the shop aids that Nick uses in this video, they are available from workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

I've been turning for a few years but still learned a lot! I have never seen someone use a plane to smooth on a running lathe...that was really interesting. Guess I will have to try that. Good video...thanks.

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

Most welcome. When you use a plane on a lathe, open up the mouth as wide as it will go and take a very shallow cut. Hold the plane at a steep angle to the lathe's axis of rotation -- at least 45 degrees. Basically, you're using the plane to shear. For extra control, you can rest the sole of the plane on the tool rest. Smaller planes work better - I use a Stanley No. 3 bench plane, a No. 60-12 low-angle block plane, and a tiny Kunz palm plane. The smaller planes will let you cut convex curves as well as flats and tapers.

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

A bit of extra info you may find useful: I have found that a No. 3 or 4 bench plane, a low angle block plane, and a shoulder plane all work well on a lathe for certain shearing tasks. The trick is the take a very shallow cut, open up the mouth of the plane as far as it will go, and set the lathe at a low speed (under 750 rpm). Other tools that seldom used on the lathe and can be are files, rasps, and floats.

@MyGrowthRings 3 года назад

Hey Robert, you own it to yourself to search RU-vid for two videos titled "Wood turning a log on a Shopsmith Part 1" and "Wood turning a log on a Shopsmith Part 2". In part 2 he also uses a plane while turning. More importantly, you'll be amazed at the scale of his spindle. Scott

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

AS I told another viewer, it the same as shearing but easier. You simply adjust the depth of cut to take off a paper-thin shaving and open up the throat to prevent clogging. Hold the plane so the iron is at a skew to the axis of rotation, and wade in. Instead of riding the bevel, you ride the sole. Touch the toe of the sole to the turning and slowly advance the plane until it begins cutting. I've found that small bench planes (No. 3 or No.4), low-angle block planes, and rebate planes work best. The bench planes are especially good at truing up a straight or tapered cylinder.

@agggravateddocsurg 3 года назад

How often are you having to "touch up" the edges on your lathe tools with this type of project? I have tried turning only once, but found my tools dulled super quickly. Thanks for all of the helpful information!

@WorkshopCompanion 3 года назад

I sharpen my chisels two or three times a year. At the rate at which I do turning project,s that's anywhere for 4 to 8 projects per sharpening. To keep them sharp between uses, I store them in a chisel roll. That keeps the cutting edges from banging into other tools. Sometimes tools grow dull not from the way you use them, but from the way they're stored. Chisels may also dull quickly if made from the wrong kind of steel or a steel that has been improperly tempered. I once bought a set of chisels from a reputable seller only to discover they were so soft I couldn't put an edge on them. I had to re-temper every single one of them.

@dianadougherty7187 2 года назад

Thanks Nick. You have shared a lot of interesting details. I loved your wax recipe. Is there any chance you could do a video on the large Shopsmith dust collector? I have one but I am not sure if I am using it properly. I mainly use it for collecting dust from the lathe, but it doesn't seem to do it very well. thanks diana

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

Diane, the older Shopsmith 3300 dust collector pulls between 300 and 400 cfm. This was pretty good when it first came out, but it's not much to brag about these days. There are plenty of dust collectors out there that pull 600 cfm or better, including the new Shopsmith 6000, which I haven't tested. As far as dust collecting on the lathe, if you figure out how to do it efficiently, please let me know. There are several scoop attachments that you can buy to use with you dust collector, but the ones I've tried are inefficient and often get in the way. One of the things you have going for you when turning is that if you're doing it correctly, you shouldn't be making much dust -- just chips. These fall to the floor rather than hang in the air, where they can be easily swept up. When you sand on the lathe, that makes dust of course, but I find a good air filtration system will keep the air relatively clean. I use something almost identical to the Jet 1000CFM, and am relatively happy with it. The nice thing about having an air filtration system, is that you can use it for any operation that generates airborne dust, not just sanding on the lathe. And if you're doing a lot of woodworking or have a small shop, air filtration is important as dust collection -- long-time woodworkers are prone to white-lung disease and emphysema. If you don't yet have air filtration, I'd suggest you get the 42" filter hood for your Shopsmith and run it while you're in the shop. Clean it weekly.

When they are at several different angles, there is no pattern, only visual clutter. It's the lathe turning equivalent of a teenage boy's bedroom.

I am gonna try a turn a rolling pin for a gift. I have a cedar tree that is roughly 8-10 inches in diameter. Would you recommend cutting it down into a square or turning as is? I’ll peal all the bark but do I need to worry about places branches grew ? Anyone with suggestions on any of this it would be great to hear.

Before you cut down that cedar, you might to watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bfmCV7qKtGk.html . It's a primer for doing your own sawyering. As for a "starter kit," look into buying a used Shopsmith. Table saw, drill press, sander, and lathe in one package. You can pick up an old one for $250--$500 if you look around. You can add other tools if woodworking is to your liking; sell it for what you have in it if it's not.

I have noticed on my ShopSmith that the tool rest has some play in the connection to the carriage. Do you experience that as well? Any tips on removing the play, or is it best to just accept it and work around it. I have the Universal tool rest, so that is always an option...but there are times when it gets in the way, so using the stock setup can be quick and easy.

@WorkshopCompanion 3 года назад

Don't have that problem -- and I have 2-1/2 Shopsmiths. Sounds like something is loose, improperly adjusted, or packed with wood chips so it's not locking down properly. The wedge lock nearest you should bear against the tool rest post when the carriage crank is tightened, completely eliminating any play. Might be time to do a little maintenance.

I also use a shopsmith for all my turning. Is there a big difference between a shopsmith compared to a traditional lathe?

@WorkshopCompanion 9 месяцев назад

I find the Shopsmith much more steady and solid than all but the most expensive lathes. And the infinitely adjustable speed control is a game changer -- you can make speed changes on the fly, and this inevitably produces better results. For example, I like to shear at low speeds (I feel I'm more in control) but scrape at high speeds (which leaves a soother surface). On a Shopsmith, I can switch speeds whenever I switch techniques.

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

The only thing in plywood that could be toxic is the formaldehyde that is sometimes used in the glue. After sealing the rolling pin with a food-contact-safe finish, very little would escape. Furthermore, the few molecules that did escape would quickly break down into formic acid and carbon monoxide and dissipate. I can't imagine this being a problem -- unless you have a hermetically sealed room filled with thousands of rolling pins...

Certainly. You might also try mixing a little walnut oil and beeswax together in a double boiler, then apply the mixture hot to the wood. As it gets cool enough to touch, rub off the excess and buff with a lint-free cloth. Thereafter, apply the oil/wax mix like paste wax several times a year.

I'm going to try your wax recipe. I already use a mixture of beeswax mineral oil and carnauba that is quite hard. I have to melt it to apply it. What is the purpose of the paraffin?

@WorkshopCompanion 3 года назад

Generally, the lower the melting temperature of the wax mixture, the softer it is. And softer mixtures are easier to apply and buff. Most manufacturers like to keep the melting point under 150 degrees for this reason. Carnauba and microcrystalline waxes, which produce a much deeper and brighter shine, have MPs around 160-180 degrees, making them difficult to apply. The MP of paraffin is usually about 125-135 degrees. So you mix paraffin with the carnauba to keep the melting point at or below 150, and you can still get a pretty good shine. The MP of beeswax, by the way is 145-150 -- a fairly neutral MP in wax world -- and many woodworkers like it for its soft luster. Later update: We produced a video on mixing your own wax, with recipes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6DdNMrRn_jk.html

I might add one wood turning rule not mentioned: RIDE THE BEVEL. Riding the bevel will help ensure a better cutting finish and minimize sanding. And it makes turning safer.

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

As I understand it, "riding the bevel" is a nuanced term that is mostly used in association with bowl turning. Every turner will give you a different definition, but for me It describes that situation when the craftsman has the cutting edge, bevel, tool angle, depth of cut, and cutting pressure all in balance, and the chips just roll off the chisel. Because you have to monitor all of these things while making constant adjustments, it is difficult even for experienced turners to achieve and sustain for long periods of time. For this reason and the lack of an agreed-upon definition, I rarely use the term for instruction. But thank you for bringing it up -- it's something all turners aspire to even if they all disagree what it is and how to achieve it.

Love your videos. I am wondering with your last name. Do you have German in your family or ancestry? I am originally from Germany and have known a family with the same last name.

@@MystiqueULH Our best information is that the Engler clan originated in Sevelen, but that my two-times great grandfather was born in a small town near Stuttgart and emigrated to America in the 1870s.

Stuttgart is not that far from my home town - maybe an hours drive. Though Stuttgart is in the State of Baden Würtemberg it is also an area in Germany called Schwäbisch Land und they even have their own dialect. Many things in this dialect get an le at the end of the word which also means sometimes and Umlaut is needed. Haus (house) Häusle. The le at the end of an item makes it to be cute, small or even cozy and most of all homey feeling. It doesn't mean that it is small just portrays a feeling of comfort. And some words are completely different like Treppen a (steps) are called Staffle. To give you an example from high German to Dialect. Ich muss die Treppen putzen (I have to wash the stairs) in Schwäbisch dialect your would hear 'I muss de Staffle nunterwasche'. Of course this doesn't do much for you because one actually needs to hear it spoken. Also your way of explaining really speaks to me it is actually in a very German teachers way, precise and to the point. Have you ever had a chance to visit Germany and go to where your forefathers came from. It is a beautiful area and not too far from the Black Forrest. If you haven't you should and you can always contact me for some tips and tricks to know when over there.

For any experienced wood workers in the comments, is it usual to have to get your fingers so close to the table saw blade? I've used all kinds of power tools but I've never used a table saw and frankly they terrify me.

hand plane on a lathe? "Don't Try This At Home!"

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

It's no less safe than shearing with a skew chisel. In fact, it's somewhat safer than shearing. And certainly easier. You simply adjust the depth of cut to take off a paper-thin shaving and open up the throat to prevent clogging. Hold the plane so the iron is at a skew to the axis of rotation, and wade in. Instead of riding the bevel, you ride the sole (see what I wrote to J Armstrong). Touch the toe of the sole to the turning and slowly advance the plane until it begins cutting. I've found that small bench planes (No. 3 or No.4), low-angle block planes, and rebate planes work best. The bench planes are especially good at truing up a straight or tapered cylinder. Maybe I should do a video just on this technique.

parafin? Seriously? Isn't that toxic?

@WorkshopCompanion 2 года назад

Not at all. Ever eat a Hershey's chocolate bar? Nibble on Crayons when you were a kid? Do any canning of jams and jellies? All include some paraffin wax. In days gone by, the word paraffin was used in some circumstances to describe kerosene products, specifically lamp oil. These are toxic, of course. But you can eat paraffin wax like a candy bar -- and people frequently do.

Liked the video. I'm from the metric world so thanks for the conversions however we express the measurement in millimetres not centametres. This is for even for large projects eg 11234 mm we don't mix m, cm and mm. You mentioned 7.6 cm the way we express it 76 mm.The only trade that uses cm is clothes industry. I don't wish to assume your skill set sir but you don't look like a dress maker to me.
