    I watch instructors turn on the lathe like this and remember an incident where a turning came apart and went right into the audience. That club now has a big plexiglass barrier for demonstrations. I recall hearing that since the time was short he had also brought his speed up and was cutting aggressively. Food for thought.

    Thank you, very good instructions. The CA finish should last a long time. Where did you get your boring head from? That would be a handy thing to have around. Where do you get your metal inserts at also.

    If you want the bowtie on the inside of the bowl to show, just adjust depth of cut to exceed final wall thickness and make your own bowties that are much taller than those. You will uncover the bowtie turning your wall thickness. Nice tutorial, thank you.

  • @valeriehenschel1590
    @valeriehenschel1590 Год назад

    Instead of the metal rings and lids, I buy plastic canning jar lids from Ball or other suppliers in standard and/or wide mouth sizes. They come in white or colors. I turn the hole deep enough to bring the plastic lid flush. Last step is to glue in the plastic lid, and knobs and finials work just fine! Also, for speed, I use the right size forstner bit, then slightly increase the hole size. They come in both 3” and widemouth sizes.

There is so much to learn about wood finishes, their application, and durability depending upon what the intended use is of the turning. Looking forward to your demonstration on coloring. Thanks again!

    I have turned one pen about 10 years ago at a friend's shop and it was a lot of fun and it came good. Can I get a coy of your ppt? This is a very helpful video and since I bought a gentleman's Rikon lathe and pen parts, I'd like to get to turning safely. Are there good videos to watch or wood turners in Pecos, TX area? Thank you! Coach Al

  • @danield954
    @danield954 3 года назад

    Question, is there any reason not to use a lathe chuck in this application? I would think the chuck would be a safer alternative than a drive center.

    • @windycitywoodturners8256
      @windycitywoodturners8256 3 года назад

      Probably not. As long as things are on center, the results should be the same.

    @ffaubert1 4 года назад

    Great video! Still trying to wrap my head around the cross. I get that the ends of the trough would be done with either a parting tool or Satan's can opener (skew) but are the arms done further into the wood? I guess I'll try some stuff on the lathe tomorrow to see.

    Quick question. I am very much an amateur woodworker and am trying to do some inside out Christmas ornaments. I have some good hard wood, but wanted to practice on 2x4s first in order to get some practice. I just tried it and the head stock created a huge hole in no time and the entire piece came loose. This happened twice. Am I doing something wrong or are 2x4s just not good enough wood to practice on?
