RM, Good to see you back! I was a woodworker for forty years before I got into metal. I built a ton of fine furniture and reproduction antiques for many satisfied customers over the years. At the end of my woodworking career I got involved with antique dealers here in the Midwest United States. They would buy the antiques at auctions which are prevalent here , drop them off at my shop and expect me to perform miracles on the junk they dumped off then didn’t want to pay what my “miracle work” accomplished! To be honest, trying to satisfy antique dealers at minimal cost to them only to see the prices they charged in their shops literally burned me out. I used to collect old boards of any variety just so I could match antique pieces and ended up with a barn full before I called it quits. The very last straw for me was an antique dealer I had worked with extensively brought me an ornate red oak fireplace with intricate carvings that had been in a house fire. She expected me to bring this charred piece back to its former glory. I tried, believe me, I tried but not measure of effort would bring back that piece! I kept that fireplace for over a year, all the while listening to this woman bitching about the time it was taking knowing full well she wasn’t going to come close to paying me for the time I had spent on it. The most convenient thing did happen, however. I was set to move to a new location when my shop caught fire and annihilated everything in it including that stupid previously fire damaged mantle. Yes, I lost some tools and all those antique boards but I was happy. True to form the lady threatened to sue me for the loss of her fireplace mantle. I let her go on with it. When push came to shove I had my documented time recorded and my labor cost exceeded her estimated value of the piece. She dropped the suit. As for your bowl blanks. I did a lot of turning. Collecting blanks as you have done. I tried just about everything to dry them out properly. Paint and water submersion as you have done here. Dipping in hot wax to seal the blank. From my experience the “only” thing that really worked was submerging the blanks in polyethylene glycol for six months or more, then letting the blank dry for a few days before turning. Sometimes I still had failures but this system worked the best for me. Polyethylene Glycol you ask? Automotive antifreeze. Simple and relatively cheap.
Gday welcome back, I’ve been hanging out to see a video pop up, I’ve missed the Allen Bradley scream, hope you making more videos again soon and please stay safe, Matty
It is good to be back. And you should be in for a treat a I fired up the old AB on the wood lathe last month.Have a look: ruclips.net/video/dUXZ8C7U2AE/видео.html
Wonderful to have you back on RUclips. I have missed your wit and wisdom. I hope you are well and continue to be so, now sort that Allen Bradley control box, two years ago it was funny, last year it was annoying, this year with so much money around as you said, replace it with a VFD. Welcome to 2020!.😁😁
It's good to be back :) Hopefully I can have some more fun and kink this channel in to higher gear. No you mention it, I did by a new VFD on eBay, I wonder when that will show up.
Great video. Thank you. I prefer the term "physical distancing" As we can still be "Social" through Phone calls, Video calls etc. Also my investment tip would be for Baby product companies because in 9 or 10 months time i suspect a baby boom will occur.
Good to see you back making videos. The spur drive you showed at the start may be able to be modified, if it is not hardened. If not hardened, drill a hole for a pin. My spur drive came with a pin. I drill a hole for the pin so the pin prevents the work coming off the spur drive. The spurs can spin if I get a catch, but then I just re-tighten the tailstock to get a new grip. The short Morse taper looks good. I have not turned plumb wood. I am interested how this looks. I have turned dried pear wood. That was not easy to turn when dry. Dave.
It's good to be back :) I could for some reason not login to my google account for the past month. A spur drive with a pin, it sounds a bit like that spur drive with a cone I made years ago for in the chuck of my old wood lathe. Here's my first wood turning effort in years, video will go public next week: Video link ruclips.net/video/dUXZ8C7U2AE/видео.html
So nice to have U back. I got woried. Happy Easter to you all! :) I have a Wood lathe very similar to yours, it is a luna. Haven't used it since i don't want wood stuff that can caught on fire in my chop. And u still use that trätofflor on your feet :)
Odd frustrating and annoying. I recommend you go setup a recovery email address before you end up in the same situation. Mine was an old mail address I had longer access to.
It was good to see you back at it again. I'm quite interested to see how your bowls turn out as I have never seen what plum tree grain looks like in cross section.
@@Rolingmetal You're alive! I have been wondering what you have been up to ;) I'll have a new video out this weekend. I hope hammers will not be too boring of a subject.
Welcome Back! Nice job on the Morse Taper. That is a great way to set the angle. I think you may have a problem with those taps. Once you use the Taper tap the Intermediate and Bottoming tap should spin in and just clean out the bottom of the hole. Yours still seem to be cutting at the beginning of the thread with taps 2 and 3. I don’t bother with those tap followers. I just put a pice of 12mm with a point turned on it in a drill chuck and wind the tail stock in as I go. Keeps a nice amount of pressure on the tap to keep it square. I have a wood lathe that I don’t really know how to use. Looking forward to learning something :)
I use some all-threat to move dies onto the workpiece. I never tried to turn points on them. I guess that's a good idea to try :) Don't expect much from my woodturning, have no done it in years and a was a novice at best :)
@@Rolingmetal I never thought of using a piece of threaded bar to guide a die onto a work piece nice and square. I just butt the stock up against the flat of the empty tailstock. That's a good idea. I was just talking about my poor man's tap follower. Same as a fancy tap follower but requires three hands sometimes to keep the pressure on the back of the tap and still manage to turn the wrench, chuck or what ever.
Most of them end up in my swarf tray ready for some recycling. Congrats on the 1000 subs by the way. You got there sooner then I did :)Took me about 1.5 years. iIt was around this video I reached 1000: ruclips.net/video/f1UAallxnfM/видео.html Now I want to go for that silver play button if if I can :)
Altijd weer leuke video's. Ja, volledig correct, "it always boils down to money"...en hopelijk is er post-coronaal genoeg geld over, anders speelt dat straks Thierry en Geert wel heel erg in de kaart, Groeten uit Düsseldorf.
I hoop maar dat we wereld er tzt iets beter van word. Dat er hier en daar wat lessen geleerd worden. Maar ik verwacht dat we op dezelfde voet door gaan als we deze ellende vergeten zijn.
Was thinking where you had gone only today. So glad you are well. Your old lathe is way better than that chinesium junk lathe. Obviously has less functionality but hey for normal turning who cares. Carbide insert tooling on either lathe is never going to work well. You should get a bunch of scrap HSS bits and grind them up. Another good one that I had never seen until the other day is the shear tool. Like a shear tool on a shaper or a planer but used on the lathe. ruclips.net/video/Ta5F3WC-gPo/видео.html Had to edit as I'm useless at finding stuff. Great videos, keep up the good work and stay safe my friend 👍
Well is relative turm, but it does help to be back and have some fun again :) For some trange reason I could no login to youtube over the past month, But I'm glad that is over, as I did make some more videos. I actually have a sheer tool, and made an internal shear tool last year but never tried it. I'm still planning to try and test it on that shitty er25 collet chuck :)
I'm not into safety nazi stuff,but after seeing Chuck Bommarito's video about his friend who got grabbed by his lathe wearing gloves,I would strongely advise you NOT to wear long sleeves and gloves around a lathe. Other than that : glad to see you back because you have a funny dry sort of humor.
I never tried cherry. But when you look at this at the 7 minute mark, you probably need to pause it, looks like a crack running though the wood. ruclips.net/video/dUXZ8C7U2AE/видео.html

Perhaps the video that I made for the google accounts team worked :) ruclips.net/video/oP0RW0q3pz8/видео.html I guess now I will need to re-upload the videos I made in the past month and try to enjoy live a bit :)
@@johnstrange6799 I had that happen to me a few times. Not sure if it is some sort of glitch in the system or that I accidentally made a mistake. Here's part 2 scheduled for next Thursday: ruclips.net/video/b6C18EQ-9hI/видео.html (good to be back :)
@@Rolingmetal I had a spate of mysteriously unsubbed channels early last year. First I had one of you, then I had none of you, now I have two of you! - Your "Double L" channel threw me for a loop for a second there. :)
pretty sure we americans are still getting gypped on our $10,000 checks for small business owners, but the payroll protection program is still going through at a snail's pace trying to keep payroll going for employment
Strange times, and you can bet we will all be paying for this though our nose. when they fire up the money printing presses. Inflation keeps the world turning :)

It will take a while put in the end there should be a bowl :)

Hi Everett. It nice looking grain, a bit pinkish, with some oil I think it will look nice. check this video: ruclips.net/video/dUXZ8C7U2AE/видео.html

There are only 3 machinists on RUclips who get perfect finishes straight off the tool. Sadly, we aren't included in that number. I blame coronavirus.
A perfect metal finish is overrated Mark :)
Oh man glad your back. Really missed your videos
I appreciate that!
Glad you are still alive. Was wondering the other day why we hadn't seen a video lately.
Still around but they say it could have ended differently.
It is about time. Good to see you

Getting there I hope. At-least now I got some incentive to have some fun and make a few more videos.

It is good to be finally be back :) Hopefully for good but I kinda depends on the whims of google :( ruclips.net/video/oP0RW0q3pz8/видео.html

What is the reason for the second tap? Why not use starter and then bottom tap? Thank you for the video!
You're right, I could probably have skipped that one :)

surface finish checker lmoa it works i hate it how even an indicator can leave a mark, they make softer tips but that costs money
Hi,
i bought a old vintage lathe from 1920 with bronze bearings.
Wich oil do you recommend for me, i live in Germany
Most people seem to use hydraulic oil. I use that on my other vintage Karger lathe that has bronze bearings as well.
What you could do is drill and tap your aluminium faceplate to take 5 or 6 M6 cone point grub screws to turn it into a drive plate.
I think I will use it to try and mount the bowl I'm making after it has dried and warped some.
Plum is pretty much the same as Cherry so that's why they were cracking so quickly.
I never tried cherry. But when you look at this at the 7 minute mark, you probably need to pause it, looks like a crack running though the wood. ruclips.net/video/dUXZ8C7U2AE/видео.html
