There is always someone who does it better than you. capt eddie castelin is such a guy, but he wants you to be better than he was and takes the time to show you how. He has extensive YT videos on everything from Roughing Gouges (the one you used here) to Skews. How to sharpen them and how to use them. Hi is a bit of a legend in the woodturning arena but has suffered medically so is no longer able to have his shop. He is Well worth a look if you are unsure of anything

Great video; I really enjoyed watching this.

Make sure you use some stickers (bits of even sized wood) between each plank and ratchet them together as tight as you can across the planks. If you try and dry them fast in your house they will twist and warp. So you can reduce that by ratcheting them. You’re basically forcing them to dry straight like the opposite of steam bending.

A trick I learned before I got a jointer (From Screwfix), was that if both sides aren't straight, screw on something you know to be flat on on side - Like MDF, and put that against your fence. That then gives you a straight edge - Flip it over, take off the MDF - Boom, Parallel. Saw it on youtube when folk are squaring up logs and stuff, but works fine on reclaimed beams. Bit of a faff, but hey - If it works!

I would just make sure that you clamp those tight and maybe put a few more calls spread out so that they drive flat otherwise they will start to warp and you’ll get even less wood

Also…. I’ve been watching from the start of this channel and the new Thumbnails are everything I/we hoped you wouldn’t fall foul of. I suppose it’s all a learning curve and ultimately the dream I imagine is to build a way to make a living from social media and woodworking……but please don’t stray from who you are. Build the following as naturally as possible, as the saying goes ‘build it, they will come! You don’t need AI Thumbnails mate or gimmicks, just do you and you’ll be good. 👍 😊 All positive mate, keep the content coming, Jace you got the gift 🎁 function set up on this channel, where subscribers can buy you a “coffee” etc? If not, switch it on also, get Patreon sorted, I’d buy you a coffee for each video you do! 😊

Do not dry this timber in your bedroom ! Get yourself a cheap chinese diesel heater for your shed and dry it in there.

Great video though, please don’t get me wrong. 😊

Get some outfeed Rollers?? Oh and face mask 😷

You’re so good at explaining how to do bow-ties! I’ve seen your other video showing how to. They’re so beautiful! And as for the weird comments- I guess some people don’t have a good sense of humor and don’t realize your videos aren’t just educational, but entertaining as well! 👍 Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to what you have in store for us! 🌟🤘

Haha some of those comments 😂 some people just don't get humour. Cracking bow tie by the way 👍

I found why it's called a banjo, its to do with the nut and bolt that's attached to the toolrest and the ways.

Sorry I’m late, but this is a wonderful table! I like that it’s unusual and quirky! Watching the top being spun into place, I was wondering if a lazy susan would help with sanding round objects. In any case- well done! 👏🤘

This time I will use WoodPrix instructions to make it.

You seem like a thoroughly good egg. Please take care of your lungs. xx

It's usually that you need to sharpen the tablesaw blade and it is actually more likely that the teeth will need to be cleaned as when you use them alot the teeth have a tendency to get covered by the sap ththat'in the wood. Before you shapen the Blade try cleaning the teeth with an old toothbrush and soapy water if this doesn't work try using some of your partners nail varnish remover. It works great and will save you some money in the future

I almost choked on my coffee

Best looking mushroom I've ever seen Travis

Its a great build, but it always amazes me with the prices. I dont for a second think that anyone here in sweden would buy a table for this money, even though I feel its well worth it when its custom made :D

Not a bad project dude! Let us know if anything happens to it after the moisture levels will go down. All the best man!

Wonderful table! It does look like a mushroom! It would be perfect to put your drink and snacks while watching a Lord of the Rings marathon! 😆 Also, your wooden logs needed to dry out more. All in all, this is awesome!!!

Neat little table, well done 👏

U can use a wire brush in Ur drill to help bring back the live edge, it removes the soft bits if wood

Put it in the oven @100c for 1.5 hrs that will help the drying process.

It's a nice table when you have no mush room

Go watch some others on here we all got start somewhere I got the same lathe and even seen Paul sellers useing one I am going go to a Woodturning association hopefully be people there been doing this along time I would say it’s a deaf trap they ain’t much different to the later model except on the newer bigger models you got levers instead of useing spanner’s and I think you can change those I brought a second one of these lathes because it was cheap and had a chuck and 4 like new Robert sorby lathe chisels I was told not worth buying all the expensive gear then finding it’s not what you want to continue with and you end up selling all at a loss so watch some other on here and don’t be put off all got start somewhere and it’s not easy to find people hands on to teach you there are some courses I seen but what you really going to learn in a day and usually miles away and very expensive

By the way, the best woodturners to watch on youtube...in my opinion are, Richard Raffan, jp woodworks and Glen Teagle. You will learn tonnes from Glen in particular. He also makes and sells carbide woodturning tools, not for rip off prices either.

Looks like a fucking deathtrap that old lathe. I'm selling my small axminster lathe, since i bought a new one 2 weeks ago. Its only a year and a bit old. Comes with a chuck for turning bowls. I was selling it for £100. Seeing as you lost your job, and if you can pick it up from london, you can have it.

So anywho I was just given this lathe…

I would call it a banjo keep going mate you're doing well

Right then mate for my first tip the drive dog at the motor end of the lathe that drives the wood, to take that out the coller that's just behind it should spin off and drive the dog out that should be on a morse taper 1 ,when you center you're wood mark it then use the drive dog and gently hammer the dog into the end of the wood the place olin the lathe you won't have to put as much tension on the tailstock ,as for working to a center use the pating tool that the thin blade sharpened to a point this could go on forever ,take you're time and hold the tool firmly and go gently into the wood the softer the wood the better to learn on some hardwood need specific tools and methods

there are many u tube videos for beging wood turners, brian haven, the wyoming wood turner, learning to turn with sam are a couple I can think of. the file may not be straight because the tang of the file may be bent, they bend easy. good luck

May I suggest you go get some professional training, a day with someone who knows what they are doing or watch a video or two from people who know what they are doing. Try finding a local shop that sells lathes as they may have someone to guide you. Watching this made me think you are a danger to yourself and any body who does not know better. Turn the lathe off before measuring with callipers, so you are having fun and learning, well its your life!

They call it a Banjo, no joke but I dont know why.

Don't use the side of the wheel to sharpen anything bud.

Clickbait thumbnail 👎👎👎👎

What would you call this? Tool rest, its a tool rest mate. looks like a decent first go of it - better than my first attempt anyways

What happened to my other comment, the one where I offered advice?

Not trying to put you off but I don't want you to maim yourself and it's easily done with power tools!

Sounds like they might have had other plans in mind. Perhaps the boss on holiday didn’t want a hire. Sounds like a shit company and you sound like a conscientious and hard worker. Their loss, I’m sure someone else will value you.

Lovely table nice to see some one building and putting together 😊👍👍

Sucks that your in a position you are, but good luck to the future. Kee up the grind

🤣🤣🤣 How can anyone not but love this channel!!!

You should make it your channel intro video. That's really good. You've got an option like this in you creator studio on desktop computer.

Hands up if the thumbnail got you. 🙋‍♂

😂

Your thumbnail pic had me prepared for the worst! 😬😆 I had been thinking about getting a little wood lathe. Under this video were suggestions for several other wood turning vids I’m going to check out, but I don’t think they’ll be half as entertaining as this one! Excellent first project!

With the finger grooves and the router bit burning them, I'd personally make it a contrasting / unique feature by masking off the sides of the board and lightly burning the whole finger groove with a blow torch until it's black all the way along. Once you pull off the masking, which could be a sacrificial piece of thin wood or something similar, it will contrast nicely with the lighter wood and make it very obvious at a glance where your fingers need to go when rushing around in a kitchen. Since you're now out of a job and need the money you could also look into techniques and home made equipment for compressing sawdust into fire bricks for wood burning stoves etc and sell them once you've made enough. They wouldn't sell for a lot of money but it's pocket money and an extra product to catch onto algorithms etc on social media, plus more environmentally friendly for some people as opposed to buying seasoned logs every year. Lastly, I'm not sure where you're from in the country so it might not help but you could have a look into something called "Red Brick Markets". It's essentially a warehouse in Liverpool and one in Birmingham where they rent out various sized shelving / space for very small businesses to put whatever hand made products they have and the staff there do all the other work, they advertise the place, sell the items etc. All you have to do is pay a very cheap rent on one of their size options, stock the shelves with anything you've made, tell them the prices you want and they do the rest. As far as I'm aware they're quite popular and don't even charge commission per sale or anything like that. Worth a look if you're close to either city and I believe they plan to open more.

Website doesn't show up as hyperlink, maybe if you add the full link it will. Would be easier to access, currently at least on mobile I need to type it in

Ah mate, so sorry for your situation. Something will come up, you're too good a guy not to get on. Your website looks top notch 🤞🤞 for you there.
