Thank you Mike, your demonstration and explanation of this technique was VERY helpful. Sometimes it's the little things that you say and do that promote safety in addition to technique that I appreciate the most. Please keep the videos coming because they make a world of difference.
Hi, I am from Huntsville, Texas. I aquired a lathe and am going to learn how to turn wood. I came across your channel and like what I see so decided to subscribe to you.
Thank you Mike for a very informative video. I've turned quite a few twig pots but they've all been in line. I've been curious on how to make them off centre and your video helps a lot. I include a plastic or glass test tube in the straight up and down pots to retain some water to help preserve something like a rose bud. Keep turning and I look forward to more uploads.
Wow that was a great video,as I have never seen this done before it looked so weird when you started turning off center interesting to see it being worked; thanks Mike.
What you have there is not a Jacobs chuck, which uses a key to lock/unlock, it is a keyless Albrecht chuck named after its German designer, Albrecht, in the 1930’s.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning-Hi Mike of the "Fab Four", which I christened the group of four with their new project each month. A brilliant concept and I enjoy seeing what you all make. I recently did the same with Richard Raffan-he, like most would assume drill chucks are all Jacobs, but the differences are quite significant, one needs a key to lock/unlock and one does not. The Albrecht chuck is in extensive use throughout industry. I am a retired medic with many hobbies, including a metal machinist, with extensive metal working equipment, which I use for building large astronomical telescopes, cameras, observatories and various equipment, and I raided my supply of Albrecht drill chucks to use on the two wood lathes I purchased over the past three years. I have extended my hobbies to include wood turning as we have some fantastic timbers in Tasmania, some grown on our own 5-acre property, eucalyptus, wattle, blackwood, Casuarina (she-oak) and others. lots of dead stuff around the place so I don'thave to buy wood. Just bought the Vicmarc Eccentric chuck system, not cheap, so I hope I can master its use!. I recently bought a Carbatec 'Wobble Chuck', the off centre and eccentric turning really looks a challenge, and I like doing things that are a little 'off beat'. I love your off centre twig pots as well as the many other items you make. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 42 South.
What kind of problem are you having? After turning the larger tenon and rounding off the blank, you put the blank between centers but offset from center on each end by perhaps 10mm. Then with it off center, turn the smaller tenon so it will fit entirely within the larger tenon. The larger tenon must be about 7/16" long to allow the second tenon to be cut . The smaller tenon is much shorter. This will allow the use of either the larger or smaller tenon. Look at the picture at 2:13.
My problem is cutting the second tenon. When trying to cut second tenon I get a really bouncing of parting tool. It bounces so much I tear up first tenon and second one is pretty rough. Did get it cut but wanted to see if you had any suggestions. Thanks for your time.
Certainly you may copy any design on any of my videos. I probably copied from someone else. I have used some rosewoods but for me it iis an expensive imported exotic wood.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Expensive ! ahh hear price is1$ for 20kg in india and those log or wood a pasonat wood Turner thinks Exotic only used for firewood. From last 30 years there left no wood Turner hear. I started turning for a handicrafts factory that need thousands of legs and Gilli(micro turned wood seems like legs 2 to 4 inches long that used in chair dining and tample check my video). but now i want to change and start something that actually called wood turning. By the way i larned a lot from your videos. thanks again and if you want some Rosewood log then feel free to ask me i will send you if you have facilities to import it
Hey Mike, I was wondering if it's possible to really take this idea to a different level. What if you were to mount the base in the chuck so that the resulting drilled out stem is more about 15 or 20 degrees to the base, rather than basically perpendicular. What you have is really nice but having a similar item with the vertical stem pointing off on an angle of 15 or 20 or 30 degrees would look quite weird. I cant test this idea myself at this time, but you're the perfect guy to try tweaking this twig pot and do something really off the wall with it.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning There is a video on youtube of a fellow turning some birds using 3 axis turning so that the neck of the bird is on an angle, and off set to the axis of the base. I've seen a few that were just offset but for this one the neck and head were at an angle relative to the base. It was quite unique.
+SkunkTreeCarvings That is an idea. I have never tried to drill thru my live center. My Nova system has a pretty large opening. The only problem is you are not able to face off or shape the very top around the hole without chucking the base.
Your coat sleeve looked dangerously close to the spinning chuck Mike. I spent more time worrying about that than I did watching you turning. Nice project otherwise. Geof Harris (UK)

This video just answered all of my questions Mike. Thank you for sharing

Lord willing and the creeks don't rise!😉
Mike, you sure do a neat and clear demo and I always learn from you. Thanks
Merc, I appreciate your support.
Not sure that long sleeves was a good choice, but this was absolutely brilliant turning! Thank you, sir.
Mike you really are the Master. Yet another excellent tutorial crammed with information us Novices need to understand the art of woodturning Thanks
Ray Smith, thanks, I appreciate that!
I think this is magic, so very nice and educational. Thanks.
have a smock just like that, but made it into a short sleeve. I live in Hawaii. Thanks for the video, these should do well at craft fairs.
wait with baited breath for each Friday's ideas. Thanks Mike
Amazing Mr. Peace! Thank you for the instructional video!
Thanks!
LIKE YOUR work Mike.....I can't wait to get back in the garage.....I will be making some birds and a bird cage awl....thanks !!!!!
Very helpful video, thank you
Glad to hear that!
Wow that was a great video,as I have never seen this done before it looked so weird
when you started turning off center interesting to see it being worked; thanks Mike.
Off center axis turning can be a bit strange and exciting.
What you have there is not a Jacobs chuck, which uses a key to lock/unlock, it is a keyless Albrecht chuck named after its German designer, Albrecht, in the 1930’s.
Thanks for enlightening me. Maybe I should just call both drill chucks. That would be easier to remember.😂

Hi Mike ~ Thanks for a great lesson! ~ Bill
Thanks Mike, enjoyed part 1 looking forward to watching part 2, Cheers Harry
Harry’s Woodcraft what is the method to use two chucks. I have a real problem putting the small off center tenon on. Thanks

Speed faster then 1200. Sharpen your PT. Slow your tool feed rate and make sure you are doing a peeling cut.
Great job Mike...thanks for sharing that technique.Rich
Cool project M. Mike. On my summer to do list :) Thanks for sharing. Marc
great work did
you tried with Rosewood.
may i copy your idea on Rosewood log

@@diywoodturning4443 Thanks for the offer but I have so much good wood right now. Good luck with your woodturning.
good job Mike i like that cool
Thdnks for the tips.

Enjoyed the education on the twig pot. How did you lock the spindle?
+Bent Tree The 3520 B has a spindle lock. Mine has a little sliding cover to keep it locked.
couldn't it be turned between centers with a hollow live center and a long drill bit..?
+SkunkTreeCarvings That is an idea. I have never tried to drill thru my live center. My Nova system has a pretty large opening. The only problem is you are not able to face off or shape the very top around the hole without chucking the base.
Great job Mike!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Mauro
whats the wood lathe you used
Powermatic 3520b
Thank you! That worked. Running to slow and to aggressive
Excellent!

I appreciate your concern and it is a consideration. You don't want to treat the improbable as impossible.
