selling faster then I can make. These are very popular wood turning projects. I sell these as fast as I can make them. These are made with free tree branches. I turn these with a natural edge from free wood and people love them. I sand to 400 and finish with friction polish made with shellac finish.
Easy woodturning projects for beginners from scrap wood.

@joemonk747 Месяц назад

Left handed? I’m confused. How is this left handed turning? Most of the time the right hand is the one visible and holding the front of the chisel.

@RcWoodturning Месяц назад

@joemonk747 Your dominate hand will be holding the handle. That's what controls the tool.

@jeffrosen8237 Месяц назад

@@joemonk747 if I remember correctly he showed the lathe is on a turntable and he turned it 180 degrees so he could in essence work on the back side because he is left handed. I would have to go back and view the video but I think that's what I was saying.

Dude!!! I love your rotating lathe set up that’s genius! As a lefty turner I have to set my table off the wall 90 degrees and eat up valuable space. You just gave me the best solution ! I always love your videos! I’m a baby RU-vidr but take inspiration from you and others everyday

@RcWoodturning Месяц назад

@@kevindcreates just find an old swivel chair. That's what I used. They're pretty heavy duty. Screw 1 side to your base and the other to the platform for your lathe. The only problem I have is it vibrates if I have something out of balance. Right now I clamp each end with wood clamps but I'm working on a better solution.

How fast does your lathe turn? And what are the most important safety tips to prevent the wood from grabbing the chisel and flinging it through the air, or getting caught between the wood and the machine?

@RcWoodturning Месяц назад

@@joemonk747 My setup right now. Max rpm is about 1200. That's plenty fast for what I do. The most important thing I can tell you is keep the bevel on the wood and don't try to take to big a bite into the wood. This isn't a power game. It's finesse.

@joemonk747 Месяц назад

@@RcWoodturning thanks for the reply! What do you mean by “keep the bevel on the wood”? Is the bevel the tool you use to carve? And when you say “keep it on the wood,” do you mean, don’t be constantly moving it into contact with and then away from the wood over and over?

@RcWoodturning Месяц назад

@@joemonk747 No .you have the cutting edge. And the flute. That's the groove cut out on top, the angled part under the cutting edge is the bevel. That's what I'm referring to.

@chrislusbytaylor3197 День назад

I was worried that your lathe was spinning too fast when drilling with a Forstner bit. 500-700rpm is recommended for hardwoods such as cherry. Also, it's recommended to hold the Jacob's chuck when drilling, to stop it from coming out of the tailstock.

@RcWoodturning День назад

Ya I try to keep the speed down when drilling. It's funny, when I do hold the chuck people say I shouldn't because it's dangerous. Then when I don't people say I should. I guess it's a matter of opinion.

@2363joey Месяц назад

Ahh so I meet another left-handed turner, nice, I also remove the live center, but I move my spendle to the end so I can stand in front of it . I have a Grizzly G0766 lathe and I put wheels on it so I can roll it out to the porch of my shop. The mess is easier to clean up out there

@RcWoodturning Месяц назад

That's nice to be able to move it. My headstock doesn't move so I have to improvise. Thanks for watching!

@grahameallan2687 24 дня назад

@lynndoud512 If I cut green blanks I melt wax and dip the ends in to let dry. If I turn green wood I rough turn close to the shape I want. Then I bury the blank in the shavings from turning into a brown paper bag to let dry. Most of my projects are small so I can use the lunch bag size. It's not a perfect system. Some still crack but it works pretty good.
