Turning a wooden mortar and pestle on the lathe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The mortar and pestle are made from cherry. The accents are spectraply off cuts from my "Segmented Bowl Factory" video. Given another shot, I would have changed the shape of the business end of the pestle. I think it came out a bit small.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. If you liked this video, check out some of my other ones. They're way better!
Hey Grady! I mostly know you from your engineering-related videos, so I thought I should take a moment to congratulate you on one of the hardest tone-shifts I've seen on RUclips! You went from literally wordless crafting videos to extremely in-depth explanations on engineering principles without missing a beat!
Well done, and I look forward to learning from you in the future!
Really nice and creative use of dyed plywood. Now you just need to get yourself a sharp bandsaw blade ;)
Beautifully done!
Very nice Grady! Thumbs up! Charlie
Very nice molcajete. Thanks for the video.
Beautifully done, both the mortar and the filming. Thanks for sharing.
Spectraply is one of those products I've never really considered working with and then I see a project like this, where it's used perfectly. Now I have to go buy some spectraply. Great looking project.
Very nice work. Have long been a fan of mortar and pestles. I have a section of SpectraPly I had bought years ago to make some grips on a hand gun, but never used. this video opened up some new prospective uses for it. Thanks for sharing
I have the same lathe, it's a great price for its size, I hope you do more lathe videos!
rubbing saw dust on your glue joints when they're drying cleans up the excess glue and fills any gaps rather than using shop towels or rags. i find its easier to clean up that way.
Grady, that was great. Very pretty and useful as well.
I use traditional turning tools but recognize that easy wood tools are growing in popularity and are just as valid as steel. Different skill set for sure but as another said, the outcome is the same. Can't honestly be critical of that.
When I saw the salt, I knew immediately what it was its purpose was. Very clever. I made rolling pins with Celtic knots in them for Christmas. Keeping the beveled inserts in place during glue up was a real headache. Finally made a jig to hold them in place. Think I'll try the salt next time.
Keep up the good work and well done videos.
Great work, I think I will have to borrow this technique...I have done a mortar & pestle before and it worked pretty good...also gonna get me some spectraply....
That was very cool.
Beautiful work, Grady! I had a co-worker recently ask me to make them a mortar and pestle. You gave me some good ideas here.
That looks fantastic! Awesome.
+Grady Hillhouse looks awsome but why the salt??
+wdfwgagyfgagyga It reduces the slippage when gluing up pieces of wood at an angle like he did
+wdfwgagyfgagyga SALT MAKES THE GLUE SET FASTER ALSO
Great job Grady! Thumbs up Buddy! Have A Super Blessed Week!.....Gus
That is a beautiful and useful work of art; thanks for sharing your talent.
I'm way late to this party, but wanted to say a couple of things.
1. This looks great. Beautiful work!
2. You could avoid the awkward diagonal glue up by gluing the pieces first, then (once dry) rotating the entire piece and cutting your desired angle on the bandsaw.
Thanks for sharing !
Mad skillz. Nice.
Beautiful.
Yeah, very nice Grady! Love the blending of the wood and wood product... very creative! I might have to "borrow" that idea sometime. :) Have a good one, Kevin
Very nice.
Very pretty.
Beautiful work.
I love the spectraply when you apply a finish to it. It becomes iridescent.
the weight you put on the bowl looks like the Millennium Falcon
thumbs up for the millenium falcon weight
You've got so many fancy tools... I envy you. Still subscribed :D
That is so cool looking!
maestro que mortero tan calidoso........saludos desde medellin ........
The accents are awesome.
Very nice
Superb Video Sir
Jesus, this is the year I graduated, good ol days of youtube
Excellent
Awsome! Very inspiring!
Nice tools and work, but please go easy on the glue! it needs so much less to join two surfaces ,just imagine the thickness when pressed. All that goes out is just excess. All you need is applying a very thin layer with a brush. Keep on the good work !
Hello! Very nice Work!
Very impressive!
4:08 The millenium falcon:)
exceptional....your vision that you had prior to beginning the project impresses me as much as your exceptional workmanship....do you sell these items that you make?
Awesome
superbe job

When you realize that you’re supposed to use relief cuts and sand off the rest with a belt sander, but don’t want to tell Grady for fear of being killed by commenters.
I have the same exact lathe as you
that;s awesome! why the kosher salt when gluing the parts of the pestle together?
***** Very clever. I have made gluing jigs to glue diagonally... but this looks much quicker. Thanks for the tip.
Nicely done! Turned out beautiful. But what was with the salt added to the glue?
What is that monster of a steel? block you use to clamp the parts together?
At around 6 minutes. You switch the bowl around. What is the chuck hanging onto when you flipped the bowl around?
what is that one colorful peace of wood called?
+Cregar Back Apologies for the late reply, but the accent "wood" is SpectraPly.
ARMSTRONG it's all good thank you.
Why the wood look so colorful?
Okay, I'll ask what's with the salt.
Just ran across this video. It's been two years since you asked so hopefully you received an answer from somewhere by now, but in case you haven't, here it is. A light amount of salt can be added into the glue to prevent the pieces that are being laminated (glued) from slipping around as much. The salt quickly breaks down from the water in the glue, and the pressure from the clamping with no adverse affect on the bond. Hope that helps
Thanks, I have never seen or heard of that before.
I actually never knew WHY it worked, breaking down from the water in the glue. Interesting. I've never seen such large granules being used before. This looked a good more coarse than table salt, which is what I typically see being used.

I believe that’s sea salt.
Kosher Salt can itself be kosher, but mostly it means that it’s used for koshering other food. (had to look that up)
2:49 sounds like a star wars gun fight
Good and beautifull job,can you tell me the name of the glue that you use for that project?
Elmer's glue?
I read down a ways but didn't see the answer. What is the multi colored layers you are using? first glance thought is was phenolic but on the oiling the Koolness came together life. Personally haven't done any real wood turning since high school but at that time I'd glue the most oposit small pcs of hardwood to turn and give teachers groooovey wild colored gifts as bribes. I might not have graduated without them.
+Phil Lowman It's called spectraply
Maravilhos!
2023 recommendation, anyone?
Is it good to be used with food? There's another video in which the plywood colouring is dissolving with water.
+EDWARD CERRE Spectraply has water-soluble dye so probably not. But I think there are other dyed laminates that are good for use with food. This one's just for decoration.
What is the rainbow color wood you used ?
that look awesome
+minh tien hoang Spectraply
What type of paint you cover it? Dose it avoid food stain such as vinegar oil, rice and others.
This is awesome work. I would like to know if your beautiful work is for sale? :)
could it be used for grinding food or just as decorative thing for interior?
on that first circle you cut out, what type of wood was that? it looked amazingly colourful.
and what type of varnish did you use if you don't mind me asking
He dyed it
what is that beautiful rainbow dark wood?
what did you add to the glue, and what does it do?
+Clayton Blackwell Just table salt. Keeps the joint from slipping around because it's diagonal.
Amazing project, beautifully crafted! What is the oil you used for finishing it?
6:10 a fucking respirator for wood chunks.
Grady? Don't you mean the scalar product of Del and Y?
Wow, that actually came out looking really cool. I'd love to order stuff from you some time. :o
What type of wood is the dark colored accent piece?
I see you use titebond two instead of titebond three, it there any reason for that? I know tite bond three has 4000 PSI Shear strength while titebond two has 3750 psi
what does the salt do for the glue?
What is the kosher salt for?
Might be time for new blades
Looks awesome. Can I ask which oil you used?
*****
Ah nice. Only done one wood project and used Danish oil myself. So it's food grade / safe then?
*****
Ah yes thank you.
Why the kosher salt?
what was the salt for??
Holly fuck thats awesome
Can You make another one and sell it to me?
Hey, at 2:55 what is that metal thing that you are holding with your right thumb called?
Looks like a flange of some kind with a thread
That is the face plate. You screw it to the wood and it attaches to threads on the headstock of the lathe.
Enjoy seeing different woods being used but I must add that I dont find those turning bits to be a skill, any one being able to use the 'old' tools is more interesting. It is like someone said the other day that using a cnc machine isnt wood working
what is that color wood
+Demon Spectraply
where can I buy one?
WHAT IS THE RAINBOW COLOR WOOD YOU USED IN THIS WITH THE CHERRY WOOD?
Charless Hunt Hi, it's spectraply blanks.
+Charless Hunt Spectraply
DO YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN GET THEM IN LONG BLANKS I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME

+Let's Plays THANK YOU
You put salt on the gluesurface, right?
To keep it from sliding
someone needs some more turning tools haha
🫀💣🫀
Send me one piece I will send you money
Your video would have been better if you weren't a mute.Maybe you can have a non mute person to speak for you to explain how long it took you to turn the mortar and pestle, and what kind if finished you used. The mortar and pestle looks good.
make a guitar:3
Amazing what someone with no skill with a lathe (sanding and scraping are not skills) can create.
Amazing what someone with no videos of their own work is willing to comment in regards to other people's skill set. Oh... and if you want a turning race, you with your 40 different tools and me with 1/2" custom ground scraper, just let me know. 😉
Grady... thanks for sharing and love the ply... just wish it was easier to get in the UK.
I wouldn't be so harsh on him, there are some people who can't even use carbide tools! Even though I can't argue that traditional gouges are much harder to learn, but in my opinion seeing the shavings fly from the flute of a 3/4 inch bowl gouge off a 12 wet maple bowl makes it all worth it!

What is the salt for?
I think it might be glue accelerator to speed up the drying time.
