This weeks project is another installment in the project that sells series. The project is made with basic tools and beginner techniques to help new turners make saleable items and help finance their hobby. Christmas trees, whether made from nice hardwood or paintable pine are very popular at Christmas craft sales or gift shops/markets. We will make two styles and the turning will be in real time with the turning sound left in. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to all who watch!

Simple and easy to replicate. Really good design. I bet a production turner could turn out nearly 50 an hour. I can probably turn out two ..😃😃😃 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

Thanks Glen! If you had the stock cut up ahead of time you could make them in about 2 min each provided you keep tools sharp and don’t need to sand a lot. Thank you for watching!

Well done, really good tool control. I use a skew and detail gouge for my trees. Interesting that you use a bowl gouge. Quite educational, and well explained

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thank you Greg. I use a bowl gouge every place it will work as it is clean and fast. For trees the grind profile works great for a one cut whirl. Thanks for watching!

@pamelalee1508 2 года назад

There are many who love the stylistic types of art pieces and these would fall right in line...though no doubt you know this...very nice..and smart !... When you were making the branch cuts in the 2nd tree..I wondered about the ease of measuring..by sight...that bar..your work bar you run your tools over..if it was inscribed with quarter, half and inches..a turner could line up the beginning of the cuts...well..just a thought..I don't know how well it would work... Thank you for the video...🌿🌿🌿

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Hey Pamela! The tool rest needs to be very smooth or chisels will not move over it. Lines would wear off quickly most likely. The easiest way for symmetry is to mark the piece of wood on the lathe and cut the lines. I just prefer to freestyle these types of items. Thanks for watching!

@jamieemes4292 7 месяцев назад

You sure make it look easy! Ha Was going to ask if that was a spindle gouge,but i see other comments in it being bowl gouge. The angle looked shorter to me more like a spindle. I'm just learning this winter so trying to get grasp on things. Starting with snowmen and trees. Well , 1 tree so far. Do you have bowl videos? I havent noticed any yet...thanks for sharing!

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 7 месяцев назад

Hey Jamie! Thanks for watching! That is a bit of a different grind on a bowl gouge, about 40 degrees done on a wolverine jig. I’ve used that grind for years. I do have several bowl videos on my channel. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@54lespaul77 2 года назад

Very nice! I have some 2 to 3 inch diameter walnut branches I think I’ll try this on. Thanks, Rick

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

They will be awesome Rick! Live edge ones seem to look better if you make the whirls higher, making the taper to the “stem” a longer steeper angle. Love to see them!

Great video, but I chuckle at the "no 4 jaw chuck required" part. I've invested in a chuck and a bowl gouge, but there are plenty of other high end tools used here that I still don't have. Some of the tools frequently used in these beginner videos that I wish I had are the full sized lathe, big deep-fluted roughing gouge, and the super skinny parting tool. Just for fun I'd love to see you use a little mini lathe with a beginner set of tools (sharpened on a high-speed grinder!) to show us how you'd take on the challenges that I'm more familiar with.

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

The lathe I have now is the first and only lathe that I’ve ever bought. I’ve had it for 22-23 years. I have turned on small lathes outside of my own shop and the beginner projects are very doable on mini’s, it just takes much longer. I have only had the roughing gouge and 1/16 parting tool for a year or so. Before that I roughed with a bowl gouge mostly. I also sharpened on a 6” delta high speed grinder for many years. I make these beginner videos to help people make sellable items so they can upgrade and add if they choose. I mostly know what you are dealing with though, other than lathe size, I was in the same place once. I appreciate you watching!

@kamenvelitchkov6533 2 года назад

Did you know the spindle gouges are part of every one beginner kit? So using spindle gouges instead of bowling will be easier for beginners. Once! Second! This is typical spindle project and can be done with 3/8 or 1/4 SG. Roughing gouge is needed only for rounding the piece. Of course for “master” look you can use axe.

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thanks for watching

@roystheboy 2 года назад

these are very nice the second tree look abit harder

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thanks Roy. The second tree was harder wood but still a very simple turning. Thanks for watching!

@daniellegrandpa 2 года назад

Great channel, and excellent workmanship, would you suggest for a beginner to mark with a pencil, where you want to make your cuts, to keep them more uniform?

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thank you! Marking out cuts is never a bad idea. I appreciate you watching!

@marvinrobinson8519 2 года назад

Interesting and nice presentation! Technical question: why did you use a bowl gouge instead of a spindle gouge?

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thanks Marvin. I use a bowl gouge so much it is my favourite tool. I almost never use a spindle gouge for anything. In this case though, you see how the bowl gouge profile makes it one cut for the top of one whirl and the bottom of the next in one pass? That’s why I use it for these.

@gerryclark4330 2 года назад

Nice project. Any chance of telling your viewers what rpm’s you are turning at during various stages of your projects?

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Thanks Gerry, I will try to do that more often. I appreciate the input!

@markmoody5508 9 месяцев назад

@brettmillard1338 Год назад

Do you have a preferred wood, or is a basic pine 4x4 appropriate?

@TheKlondikeCraftsman Год назад

Hi Brett! If they are being painted I like pine. I also make them from hardwoods with the intention of leaving them unpainted. Thanks for watching!

@philipoliver8092 2 года назад

Laughed when you said don’t stop the lathe with your hand and two minutes later you do it again. Force of habit but you’ve got the experience to know like I do with cooking

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Yes, the warning was done as a voice over after the video was complete and I was editing sound. I do try not to do that in these videos as new people may not have a feel for what is safe and what will hurt. Thanks for watching!

@tjraymer 2 года назад

How did you finish the bottom of these where the drive sour bit in?

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

If it has a clean cut from the miter saw it doesnt really need any finishing up with the steb center I use. If it does need to be finished I use a horizontal or vertical belt sander.

@jimfurr81 2 года назад

Please supply links to lathe, (quality one) and tools : )

@TheKlondikeCraftsman 2 года назад

Hi Jim, I’m not qualified to recommend a quality lathe as this is the only lathe I’ve ever owned. It is a Canadian made General 26020VS which is no longer manufactured. I have had it for 22 years and previous to that used my father in laws General 160. For tools I like carter and sons, record and hamlet for high speed steel and I use Easywood tools for carbides. You can find all of them online but depending on where you live the distributor will be different.
