That's amazing to have been able to start at such a young age and stick with it all those years! That's awesome, I'm at that stage where I want to turn as big as possible, I'm sure it will subside eventually 😀

@luv5252 no problem friend! I have a 14" swing lathe and with the 4" jaws and tailstock engaged i have no problem or worries turning 13x6" blanks.

Yeah I'm too critical on myself and just need to keep it to myself lol! The vinox screw i have is kind of weird in that the threads are flatish but angled downward. I like my Nova one so much I thought I lost it and ordered a replacement off Amazon. I now have like 5 of them and they are stashed everywhere lol!

@scottmedori1437 thanks Scott thats great info! I have a fatigue mat but I'll look into that insulated osb.

@STMwoodturning thanks Stuart, lots of great advice here brother, I really appreciate your kind words.

I wish but I'm renting and don't want to invest in it. Otherwise I would have a wood burner in it.

Lol! Yeah Brandy working on it, slowly but surely.

Yeah buddy! Them fairies ever make it to your shop, send them my way when you're done with them!

Red oak, hopefully this translates well for you. I prefer turning hardwood. Thanks for watching.

@@RayApodaca-DacaTimberworks смотрю с экрана телефона, видимо поэтому перепутал. спасибо за ответ. собираю для себя станок, хочется тоже сделать пару "тарелок". жаль дубы у нас не растут.

Me too! Lol I'm not going to lie I haven't even used one yet. That's so bad right

Falling spikes or dogs. They dig into the wood and give you a point of leverage to put more force into the cut. Most useful for when you're actually cutting the tree down, the sideways cuts don't have gravity aiding the cut.

@Ray-DacaTimberworksWoodturning Very cool! Thank you for taking the time to explain that!

​@ryanm7832 no problem buddy, anytime!

I live in Michigan 3 blocks away from Lake Erie, it is pretty humid here. I bring my bowls in the air conditioned house though as soon as I turn them. My first 40 or so bowls were all turned green because I didn't want to wait to twice them, I caught the turning bug bad and wanted to make them as fast as I could, I was giving them away to everyone lol!

I turn the bottoms concave slightly so no matter how much the shift there's always 3 high points and they sit sturdy. With this reasoning one could always sand the bottom on a disc sander to true it up and re apply some oil or finish. I have not had the case where I've needed to do this yet though.

@DisneyUpBoilerUp thanks I need to make more of them, it were relatively easy

@Ray-DacaTimberworksWoodturning personally I think it would be perfect to put my makeup brushes in 🤣

@DisneyUpBoilerUp sounds like I need to get to work😅

Thanks buddy! The theory is since you spend less time on whole process you can sell them at a lower price point for Craft shows. I got the ideas for the quarter sawn ones from Shawn at Worth the Effort.

Thanks buddy!

Good stuff! I've always been worried about mold or mildew doing it your style. But it sounds to be quite the popular way of doing things. I just bring them in the house and rub some oil on them every couple of weeks for a while lol! I'm with you, I'm not one for waiting. I like to put a piece of wood on the lathe and finish it that day. Thanks for the feedback buddy.

Yeah, depending on the species plastic bags can cause significant spalting. Also, I think success with once turning green wood depends on one’s location. I am not in an extremely dry climate so that helps a lot.

@nickfessel2201 yeah I'm in Michigan 3 blocks from Lake Erie. My backyard was naturally making some beautiful spalted maples before neighbors called the township on me and I had to get rid of my log pile. We get mold growing on all the houses out here it's so shady and humid.

@scottmedori1437 thanks buddy I appreciate it. Tomi is a master and makes anything look easy lol! I like to give a less than perfect look, something new and average turners can relate to.

@scottmedori1437 also I have had better luck with that scraper in dry wood. This really wet red oak it was grabby, but not when shear scraping, when shear scraping it was smooth as butter.

Thanks Stuart, I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks friend I'm glad you found me and hope you stick around! I try and post once a week towards the weekend. My fulltime job loves to get in the way of that though😅

Yeah it's hard to tell but I think I dip down into view once or twice towards the end. Z87+, thanks for the concern.

Thanks so much! I'm still new myself but have learned a ton in a short time and am more than willing to share from my experiences. I try not to comment on things unless I've witnessed and experienced first hand. I hope you learn to live turning as much as I do.

You are so right, thank you! It's funny because I will do this sometimes when bucking and ripping logs to save my chain from dulling. Why not do it for my gouges and body!? Duh!🤣

That's awesome! I'm glad I can help! Stick with it, this is an amazing craft I enjoy it so much that it has truly become my passion.

That's awesome to see another self taught turner from Richard and Tomi. I haven't got into the reclaimed wood yet it looks fun and interesting. There are alot of 100yr+ barns coming down in the area and people are selling the timbers relatively cheap. I want tontry a couple pieces just to see the annual rings in virgin forest timber. Thanks for checking out the channel and the kind words.

You are absolutely correct in that it's not an exact science. At the end of the day we are trying to harness and control mother nature. Wood is going to do what wood wants to do. I'll see if I can't get more saw related stuff in the works it's actually nice cutting weather. Thanks Scott

Thanks brother

Please!!! My shop is like if a dumpster fire and a train wreck had a kid, that's my shop lol! The spiders and bugs love me for it though😂

@Ray-DacaTimberworksWoodturning 🤣😂🤣😂

@@MARKBaid thanks Mark I really appreciate it and am glad you got something from it!

@scottmedori1437 thanks Scott glad you got some use. I love my chainsaws and all my lathe work starts with them. I've been hesitant of posting more saw videos because my old channel had a couple viral saw videos and YT forever pushed it as a saw channel. Hit me upnif you need any advice or opinions saw work.

@jamesharless5357 thanks so much!

@@remik9729 Molte grazi

@levinestegard2674 thanks! It wasn't the easiest but it cleaned up real nice.

Hey Stuart bandsaw first. I found itbon marketplace for a good deal. You are correct in that a 17-18" would be way better. Right now my lathe is 14" swing and that saw can handle 13x6" blanks all day. Rikon seems to have the most HP on their machines in class but the next move would definitely be something 220v with a bigger table and deeper throat.

Ok next is chainsaw. That is a Echo 620p 60cc pro saw with a lightweight 24" Tsmara bar. 620p is one of the best saws you can buy for the money and features you get. Always go pro saw and not the homeowner/farm/ranch equivalent. A smaller cc pro saw will cut circles around a larger cc ranch saw. Also 60cc is about the minimum I would use for rip cutting/noodling logs in half. Smaller saws can do it but they constantly clog and jam because they don't have the power to push the noodles through the clutch cover. Chainsaws were designed for crosscutting, and milling through the endgrain is hard on the saw and on your back. I love my saws as much as I do my lathe so any question on those hit me up. My Stihl 461 75cc saw is my favorite for ripping logs but I'm eyeing a Chinese clone of the 066.

@ thanks for the info. I have a 10” bandsaw now that is way underpowered. It’s cutting capacity is fine but only a half hp motor is the biggest problem. Wanting to upgrade eventually

@STMwoodturning next to horsepower the most important thing is a quality and right spec blade. I believe i use a 3tpi 3/8 timberwolf blade with alternating teeth to widen the kerf, I can't remember that styles name but it's made with bowl blanks in mind. It's got an aggressive cut like a resaw blade but also a good turning radius for tight circles.

@@RayApodaca-DacaTimberworks I’ve got the Echo 590 w/ 20” bar but am looking at the Chinese knockoff of the 660 as well. I run a 3tpi, 1/2” blade on my bandsaw. I had a Timberwolf blade for a while but it got dull just as fast as the cheap ones so…

@STMwoodturning lol! I would actually start running lownon wood! I wouldn't know what to do 😂

Thankyou! It really did come out good, I'm going to miss it.

Thanks, they're kind of a pain to nail but when you do it's worth it.
