    Beautiful finished product! I’m a reasonably experienced wood turner and would like to give you a hint or 2. A spindle gouge will make shaping that piece much easier and safer actually and allow you to get crisper beads n coves. And I’m sure you are familiar with riding the bevel, that will help you slice into the wood vs scraping so much. Richard Raffan is brilliant at describing this. Also I’m not sure what your turning speed was but it seemed to me that you could have cranked it up considerably. Spindle turning can be done at much higher speeds because you are cutting so close to center where the wood moving by your tool is actually quite slow. That extra speed helps the tool cut much easier. That being said I loved the concept and final outcome very much and I believe that I will go spin one of these today once my shop warms up. Keep up the good work!!

      Thank you so much for the advice Scott!
      I do have a spindle gouge, but for some reason, I really don't use it very much. I'm thinking that I don't have a proper angle on it. (I'll look into that).
      At the time of recording this video, I was not quite 2 years into my woodturning journey, and not very comfortable with the speed of spindle turning, but I understand the concept of faster speeds to reduce the bounce over the "air", and am getting better.
      Thanks so much for the advice! I'm always looking to learn from more experienced turners!
      Happy turning!

      That's awesome William! It gets a little tricky when going over the center part, I was sure that I was going to break it. Also, once you finish the tail end, never go back to it, because the thin center won't support pressure from the tool.

      I'm not sure where my answer to your question went, but I'll answer again.
      I believe that forster bit was 1.75" , just leaving enough room at the edges for rounding off, and I should have drilled all the way through to the other side, leaving less chance for misalignment.

      I did a little bit, but my forstner bits were pretty sharp.

    This looks like a fun little project! I assume at some point you changed from an inside-out ornament (since you did the middle cut-lines on the spindle ;) ) At first I'd thought the hole drilling to be a mistake but the beautiful outcome proved it a success! Impressive you did so much of the detail work with the one gouge, do you have smaller detail gouges? I'm sure they'd help. Personally, I kinda focus on the 'task' and often forget just what tools I have available haha Keep up the great work! I'll have to check out more of your videos :)

      Thanks Perry! I have done inside out ornaments before, and thought this would be the same outcome with less work!
      I do sometimes forget that I have other tools to use, but I'm very comfortable using this one! I really need to start using my spindle gouge more!
      Thanks for Watching ❤️

      @@spiritwynd Thanks for the reply Yep been fortunate enough to have seen some of your other videos since posting (including your inside out turning). Love watching your journey. Woodturning is such an adventure!
      I'm going to be trying your method for sure so thanks for the inspiration :)

    Maybe take some time to fine sand inside the drilled areas prior to turning?

    • @spiritwynd
      @spiritwynd  Год назад +1

      Will definitely do that! And instead of drilling 4 sides, drill straight through to the other side. That way, the holes will line up better!
      This, and most of my videos are the first time making the pieces, so I figure out how to improve the next one.
      Thanks for watching ❤️

    Very nice. Easier than an inside out turning and just as pretty. How long was the spindle you started with?

    • @spiritwynd
      @spiritwynd  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Ron! It was about 7" and definitely easier than the inside out turning

    What size Forster biT did you use? Turned out so well but I was thinking when you started you didn’t leave much room on the sides.

    • @spiritwynd
      @spiritwynd  Год назад +1

      I honestly can't remember what size I used, but the spindle was 2"x2".
      You're right, I didn't leave much material, and should have left a bit more. But it worked out in the end.

    • @spiritwynd
      @spiritwynd  Год назад +1

      Sorry this took so long Barbara! Every time I went to the workroom I'd forget to check!
      I believe the forstner bit was 1.5" the spindle actually measures 1.75" so it was just a bit smaller than the width.
      Hope this helps

    Hi Heather, this is the first video of your work and look forward to watching the rest. Using a forstner bit is brilliant and your ornament is super cute! I am new to turning and I have a question. Why did you use a bowl gouge instead of a spindle gouge?

    • @spiritwynd
      @spiritwynd  11 месяцев назад +2

      Hi Lisa! Welcome to the addiction! You'll absolutely love turning, just make sure that you always focus on your safety!
      I use the bowl gouge for most of my project simply because it's my favorite tool! I do have a spindle gouge that I use sometimes, but then again, I'd rather use my skew for cutting grooves.
      Just remember Bowl gouges can be used for spindles, but spindle gouges should not be used for bowls.
      Hope this helps! Heather 🇨🇦
