Woodturning - This Was A Challenge!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2023
- I got this big oak trunk about two years ago and I've been trying to work out what I want to do with it. I had originally planned to turn one BIG piece from it, but I wasn't sure what, maybe in my head I had the idea of a large vase? Anyway, I decided to cut it into three pieces as I felt I'd get more value from it, and this piece seriously didn't disappoint. The markings are just fabulous, the burr clusters with the deep open grain of the English Oak just pop. I cannot wait to turn the next 2 pieces, but what should I make with them?
I wanted to make vase using the end grain of the wood as I haven't done this before and I thought it would look really cool, I think I was right 😁
The wood has been sanded to 3000 grit and finished with Danish oil and Wood wax
Let me know what you think in the comments 😁👍

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

What should I make using the other two blocks of Oak? 👍😁
Maybe a table? 😮
Well if the wood is as good as this piece. I would do similar turnings as the first one.
Complimenti beautiful che meraviglia
Well the piece you cut off could be made into a bowl or a clock or a wooden Frisbee (LOL) or a _____.
The big pieces, well....I don't know...hmm...maybe a lamp? (After turning then holes drilled all over...) 💁♂🤷♂🙆♂
@@solidarityworkers6900🤔 well let's see 👀 👍🪵
Finally a beautiful piece of wood where everything hasn't been removed! So many woodworkers start with lovely grained largr pieces and then reduce and reduce and reduce down to pittly items. What a waste! But you have retained beauty and function! Very rewarding !
I Have two rules in woodturning. 1) Start with a great piece of wood. 2) Don't screw it up. You have succeeded here in spades.
Thanks for your comments Brad 👍😃🪵
This was not a challenge, it took me just 17.40 minutes to watch it, dead easy. Love your work Harry, keep 'em coming. Cheers
Elegant and timeless design. Oozes class.
That’s a stunning piece of wood. ❤
It looks like you had a ball creating that beautiful piece! I am always amazed at your work. Greg
Thanks Greg straight to the back of the Net!!! 😂👍😃🪵
😂😂😂
This is a very nice piece Harry. Your work/videos on u tube are great!
Outstanding!
A perfect look of a perfect bowl. You made a nice use of the grains of this log. With a beautiful result. Very inspiring for my own work in woodturning. Thank you.
Gorgeous result Harry. Thank you for sharing your time, your skill and your adventure👍🤟🪡🎨
OH, my, OH, my. How lovely!
FANTASTIC 🎉
Thank you Madeleine! 😁👍
That is just gorgeous!!!
beautiful
Thank you very much! 😁👍 Have you seen my new art and design channel yet? www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS/videos
What an amazing piece of work. Thank you for demonstrating your skill.
beautiful work
Beautiful!
Wonderful job!
As a newbie to this art, I really enjoy the way you explained everything you did so us newbies have a clue what you are doing ! YES, I was being sarcastic, think I'll now go and watch some paint drying !
Beautiful work my friend! Love your videos
It became a work of art 😃😃
Fabulous!
Everything about this piece is perfection. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. ❤
It was my pleasure Beverly. Have you looked at my new channel yet?? 👍😃🪵
Beautiful ❤
Wow! Thats a beauty!
awesome well done Harry
Very nice, great job
It might have been a challenge for you but it sure come out beautiful! And you did an amazing job turning it as well!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great job Harry! I love it
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the support! Have you seen my new art and design channel yet? www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS/videos
I like it 😊👍👏👏👏
Thank you 👍😃🪵
The way the grain runs and is brought out is great. When I saw the dark 'line' I thought it was a crack, but obviously it wasn't. The dark markings are very interesting and give some textural pops. I like it. 👍👍👍 When you were scooping up the bit and putting them in the bucket I thought how interesting it would be to use a lot of those with epoxy and make something. LOL.. I can't believe that came from me. I'm not usually an epoxy proponent....But it does have it's place...once in a great while...
Fine work, Mr Smith.
One of your best Harry
Perfect
Beautiful work, as always, Harry. We just had a 24" diameter pin oak felled at our home last month and I have 10 logettes (about 3 feet long) from it that I'm looking for ideas, as well. I'll likely use one for bowl blanks and another for vase blanks. I'll want to slab one for hand planes I like making on the CNC and a couple more for wedding boxes for my wife's (minister and wedding officiant) clients. Down to 5 with no plans, yet. I'll be looking through your other videos, of course.
That’s a beautiful piece of art Harry. I’m sure you don’t need my help in creating something else from this fantastic wood. But a long slender vase would be perfect. 👍🏻
Ottima forma, ottimo legno, ottimo lavoro !
super cool
Love it!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Good
Really nice. Personally, I do not like turning large barky logs, because it takes ages to get them round. But this turned out amazing and it was well worth it!
Many thanks for the comments 👍😃🪵

Fabulous,
Looks great
Thank you very much! 😁👍 Have you seen my new art and design channel yet? www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS/videos
Krásná práce 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This turned out great. When you started I was envisioning a round pot with a lid and finial though.
Interesting how you aligned the grain pattern with the finished shape.
Your lathe is heavy duty compared to most of the ones I have seen. I'm a retired machinist. Can you share the information about your lathe?
@Steve - if you click on the more tab (next to the title) and scroll down to Axminster tools used, the last link is for the lathe.
Que hermosura tu trabajo!!!!👏👏👏💖💖💖🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
waow amazing❤❤❤
While the end result is genuinely impressive, it seems as if you continue to use the spindle roughing gouge after changing the axis of turning, meaning you were then turning end grain with the tool. The spindle roughing gouge is not made for that type of situation and can break. Later you switch to a conventional bowl gouge, which is quite suitable. Can you explain why you used the roughing gouge in this way?
It is dangerous, and he is making a mistake.
i would love to see you make a cookie jar
I absolutely love it Harry, this is so beautiful 😍 Thank you
Thanks for the comment Sol 👍😃🪵
Hi Harry. Great piece of turning. It has inspired me to tackle something a little bigger! By the way, where do you get your little discs from?
Sehr schön, gut gemacht 👌👍Wie trocken ist das Holz gewesen?
❤very lovely ❤

Hi Harry your work is always magnificent and unique, you are very talented and artistic this piece is magnificent and unique it looks lovely well done. Amanda xx
I really love it, but it is not in your shop... 🙂
Thank you very much! I can add it to the shop, or you can send me an email directly if you're interested 😁👍
Question please what was the moisture content at least 8 to 9 thank you
Nice end product but I worry you’re setting yourself up for an injury using the spindle gouge after changing the orientation, and wearing gloves.
Stay safe
Any advice or demo for turning egg cups please
Everyone loves balls... Oh wait! Nice job seriously tho
Is this one of those woodturning channel where you never talk or explain what you are making?
😳🧐👐👀
I need a lathe. Got plenty of trees.
Borrowing!!!!
Where did you get those coins you put on the bottom?
Wearing gloves whilst sanding is just a torsion injury waiting to happen.
Thanks John I tend to keep my testicles well away from the lathe. Do you operate a different technique when sanding? 😮😂
@@HarrySmithShorts Harry I probably use the same technique just without the gloves. Catch a gloved finger in an aperture and the cloth will tighten around the finger and deglove the skin.
Get areal chain saw
Sharpen that chainsaw!😅
You might want to spend a few minutes with a file on your chainsaw.😊
Это что за хрень ты вытащил игрушку мячик
Dude,that shit's rotten AF
An electric chainsaw? What are you, a feminist? 😂
I cannot fault your techniques, or your beautiful results. However, this is one of the most boring woodturning videos I have ever seen, if not The Most Boring! Why? You just went on, and on, without stopping to check your work, which is hugely important in the creative process. Nor did you make any verbal communication, whatsoever! I'll watch a few more of your videos, just to check if this was a one off presentation. If it continues, I'll be unsubscribing!
