There are a lot of good videos on sharpening. Learn everything you can about it and practice. You will get there! It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I had problems in the beginning and now I don't even think about it. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Thank you Steve! I was a little disappointed. I had an image in my head that looked much better...but that happens to me a lot. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Thank you for woodturning without epoxy. It was hard to force youtube to start recommending me classic woodturning, you have no idea how gratefull I am to see your work process.
Well it started life just like any piece of wood. It was a tree. So it was softwood not hardwood, no reason to hold that against it. It does have a nice grain. And it finished nicely. And it took a nice shape. Elegant? Well maybe not but certainly very nice. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2023 and stay safe.🙂🙂
Wood and flame don't mix. I've had several who say the same as you. I've done some test and haven't been able to ignite the wood. Tealights just don't burn long enough to catch the wood on fire. Thanks for the concern.
I didn't know you were left handed until I was reading the comments for this video.. Me too! Welcome to the club! I'm just about finished refurbishing my lathe and I hope you start turning soon. You've given me something else to consider.. I will have to try working on both sides of the lathe and see which I'm more comfortable with.. I have ideas in my head and it will be nice to finally try them out. Thanks!
Thank you! I tried turning right handed when I started but it didn't work for me. So I started working out ways to do it left handed. Hope you get started soon. Have fun!
Very nice. I had always wondered, until now, how bowls were held in place. Your links were helpful, now I can see what accessory I need for the lathe. I don't have the lathe or tools yet, hoping the fed owes me this year lol.
My last thing is heating the workshop, never had considered that, but I have an idea. Because of all the shavings and sawdust involved I cannot use any kind of ceramic or quartz type but I am thinking one of those chinese diesel heaters.@@RcWoodturning
A lovely piece, sir! I practice new techniques with 4 X 4's, but will have to try this. The scrap pine doesn't have chatoyance, but people like my pine turnings too. Nice thing is they can sell for modest prices.
It is a very nice project and it came out beautiful . i like to tealight candle holders with 3 legs . i will say you are a very brave man using sand paper on a hi speed . well done . Ahron
When I first started turning, I had a large supply of #2 spruce 2x4's and 2x6's, so that is what I learned to turn with. First with 2x's ripped to 1.5" for spindle work, then I laminated multiple boards together for bowls, boxes, and large spindles. Having worked with spruce in construction for years, I never thought that it would turn so well. The final finish, using sharp tools, is remarkably nice. When testing a new tool or technique, I still fall back on spruce as an inexpensive and functional timber.
I have some spruce logs that I found. I find it's hard to get a smooth surface. It's really dry so that may be why. Most of the construction wood here is pine and Douglas fir. It turns really well for me. You can make alot of things with an 8 ft 2x4. I appreciate you watching Peter! Thanks!
Thank you for your informative videos. I’m a newbie woodturner and your videos always encourage me to have a go. Do you have a video of your amazing friction polish please? I love the colour and shine you get on your finished items. Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate that! I don't have a video on my finish. What I use is the can of shellac from the hardware store. Put it in the container you will use and add a little bit of oil. Mineral oil or walnut oil. Shake it up before you use it. Hope that helps.
Bonjour... vous êtes gaucher...et c'est la première fois que je tombe sur une vidéo d'un tourneur gaucher.....Les tours pour gaucher ça cour pas les rue.....A part ça très beau sujet....🤗
When I first started turning, all I used was pieces of 2x4 and created some interesting pieces and never had a problem. Best thing about construction wood is it does not matter if you make a mistake.This was a really neat idea
That is lovely. Have you seen Jim of Sprague Woodturning? He turns left handed on the outboard end of his lathe with special left handed threads. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing 🌞
Thank you Ray. I've seen a little bit of his stuff. I didn't know he was left handed. I thought about turning in reverse. The only issue I have with left handed is the inside of bowls and end grain hollowing. So I just go to the backside of the lathe. That works well for me. And I'm not to crazy about bowls so I don't do them very often. Thanks for watching Ray! I appreciate it!
@@RcWoodturning its easy to use just make sure you use equal amounts of colour and hardener and mix for a good 5minutes I leave for cure overnight and it's nice to turn if a bit messy
Love that little piece and your creativity. Sometimes when I make a hole too many specially in the center I cap it with a nice Swarovski crystal for a nice touch. I have different sizes for any occasion. Cheers
Thanks Rich! When I started turning most of what I saw was right handed, so I tried it that way...and that was tough. Then I discovered I could work from the backside of the lathe and everything kinda came together. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@matswessling6600 I understand your concern. I would recommend that no one use something that they feel uncomfortable with! Thank you for the comment!
I used 2x12 and made some small table out of them.Turned the top and feet the ,the upright,I cut in the shape of a dog,fish,duck.Sold them at local art fair.
Nicely done. Dimensional wood is good for practice, especially with the skew. Also good for making spinning tops for the grandkids. I would use a plastic candle with a battery rather than risk an open flame that close to the wood.
Looks fantastic. In my humble opinion, people sleep on pine and fir. Just because it's ubiquitous doesn't mean it's bland. Fir has a fantastic color and pine, especially Southern Yellow Pine, has both noteworthy grain and a nice natural luster. I use both routinely and all the normies love it while only other turners and carpenters can even guess that it was once mere framing lumber. Funny how that works.
I agree. I've turned and sold a lot of pine and Douglas fir. Some of the people can't believe when I tell them it's made from pine. I do a lot of cedar as well. I love turning cedar. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Wood shop Teacher question here: trying to get lathe work going, but on every video i watch, they are no guards. How can students lathe out the inside properly if they can't move past the guarding?
@@RcWoodturning first, thanks for replying!! i can't send pictures, but in schools they have either clear guards, or metal like shopping carts covering the lathe curving downwards past the front of the machine....:(
@paulr5027 It's hard for me to answer without seeing what they look like. But I would say they should be able to work from the end of the cover to hollow the inside. I know that some metal lathes have pretty enclosed covers. I don't know if that's what you have. When I turn in front of crowds I use a Plexiglas cover but it's completely open toward me. I know that probably doesn't help much.
No wonder you wear armoured gloves, it's a wonder that you still have all your fingers. This is great lesson in how not to behave with such a dangerous machine.
The only issues I have had in turning dimension wood is finding the flaws where the piece flies apart and tries to kill you. Not for a novice to try and do. A lot of dimension wood is of poor quality anymore and of such wide grain patterns not the safest to be turning.
That is always an issue when turning wood. You always want to look over the wood for cracks or anything else that looks dangerous and can cause the wood to come apart. The biggest thing to keep in mind when turning wood like this is take light cuts. Thank you for sharing that David. Take care and be safe.
I'm not sure, but looking at the blank he used, it appears to be quartersawn if you look at the rings and it also does not look like the whiteboard or other building 2x4. Almost looks like oak and turned more like oak than pine. Usually, even with light cuts the fibers tens to show and not cut smoothly unless you are very experienced with your tools.
I worked in a machine shop for 25 years. Not being a jerk, but please lose the gloves before you lose body parts. Experience talking. Otherwise a great video and a great piece of work.
A superb result. However, seeing turners wearing gloves really makes me cringe - it only needs to catch a small, stray thread on the gloves to pull the hand into the workpiece.
Thank you Jon. I've been wearing gloves for a long time. Not wearing them when I turn is like leaving the house with no pants. I am very careful if that helps. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Yes I use it 90% of the time. I don't know the angle for sure, but I think it's around 40 to 45 degrees. I don't think about angles, I think about what works best for me. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate the 2x4 ideas. They have given me a joy in learning how to turn. With even novice skills, and tools, I'm learning and growing. Thanks for sharing. Btw, would you mind showing the finish you use on each project? I'm trying to learn about different types and I notice different looks when you finish items but don't know if it's just cuz different wood.
Thank you for the kind words Sam. I'm glad you enjoy them. I think the difference in the finish is the wood because I use the same finish on most every project I do. I use a homemade friction polish. It's 2 parts shellac 1 part boiled linseed oil and 1 part denatured alcohol. I usually put on 3 to 5 coats. Sometimes I also use beeswax with a little boiled linseed oil mixed in. I melt the wax and mix in a little oil. That softens the wax a little. I really appreciate you watching Sam. Thank you.
It is difficult to find DNA in Canada so I use 99% isopropyl and it takes a little longer, 48 hours, to break down the shellac flakes but after that it works just fine. Most pharmacies stock 99%, about $7 for 500ml
Wow. I’ve never heard of someone standing on the other side of the lathe to be doing the same type of cuts but the other way. It’s mesmerizing. It’s the same cuts but done from the back of the lathe. It works. And it’s oddly infuriating and beautifully mesmerizing.
Well thank you Corey! I'm left handed, and in my case my right handed coordination is useless. From the back of the lathe I can make the same cuts, but left handed. I appreciate you watching and the comment! Take care my friend.

excellent design for a little votive candle
@@DennisDolan-fl3mw Thank you!
I like it! Pine can be beautiful too!
Thank you!
I agree.
Actually, the first piece I used was two 2x3" blocks glued together. I made a dish/bowl and it came out like I knew what I was doing.
That's great Jim. I have a few ideas with gluing some blocks together.
Thank you for watching!
I appreciate it!
Very cool, nice work!

Thanks for the video. Trying this with a smaller and thicker piece of bass wood. Tough but interesting. I'll try to send a picture later.

Wow. I’ve never heard of someone standing on the other side of the lathe to be doing the same type of cuts but the other way. It’s mesmerizing.
It’s the same cuts but done from the back of the lathe. It works. And it’s oddly infuriating and beautifully mesmerizing.
Well thank you Corey! I'm left handed, and in my case my right handed coordination is useless. From the back of the lathe I can make the same cuts, but left handed.
I appreciate you watching and the comment! Take care my friend.
@@RcWoodturning this is a unbelievable talent and more people need to see this. It seems like it shouldn’t work but it does. You need more recognition my friend.
@@RcWoodturning also ive mentioned you on Redding /turning cause this is awesome. Completely out of line of fire and all. And it works. But why? But beautiful.
@@coreygraham5485 I don't know what that is. Is it a turning club?
@@RcWoodturning it’s a online forum with a sub forum for pretty much anything. Just another online community.
