Woodturning - Outside Solar Light

What started out as an idea to make a small garden light ended up being a full lamp post. Apart from the top all the other wood was just off cuts left over from a roofing job.
Top is made from Sycamore, finished with a Wax oil.

[@LStiglet]

Very ingenuitive! It didn't take me long to figure out you were creating a lamp. But seeing all the pieces you were creating made me wonder what type of lamp you were actually creating. And then you made it solar. Genius! Outstanding work. First time to see any such creation from a wood turning channel.

[@neesr13]

How original! How will you keep it from being blown over in high winds? Did you weight the foot and not show it? Thanks.

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

That's just a temporary foot, final location for it yet to be decided, it's back inside safe out the wind for now, might use a metal thread in the base and use that cast into concrete 👍

I love your channel because I find it very calming. I also have a question. I see you don’t wear gloves when you’re carving. I know you’re a Master. But I wonder… have you ever injured your hands?

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thanks, I avoid wearing gloves around and rotating machinery, risk of a catch out ways any injury to your hand without a glove.

[@gypsydeoriginal366]

Usually, as you work, I try to figure out where you're going before you there. I certainly never saw This coming! 🤩 Amazing and beautiful!🌟👍
I recently watched a man in the UK making wood bricks (for stoves & fireplaces) out of wood shavings and sawdust. It made me wonder what you do with yours ... 😉
Blessings! 💜

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thanks Trish, I used to recycle mine, either at the local waste or spread around the garden, great way to keep weeds down and they breakdown into good fertiliser. However with the price of energy going up I've invested in a log burner, and I'm now making bricks from shredded paper and wood waste 😁

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

@@MattJordanWoodturning Good on ya!👍 I don't have nearly what you do but I mixed with the shavings I get for the chickens and some old candles to make fire starters. That was fun!

[@burntheobedient4473]

Did you just use the spindle lock to determine width or measure for the lines from the router?

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

There is an indexing system built into the lathe that can lock in various pre set positions.

[@M0UNTAINEER]

That was incredible 👌 I’m subbing 👍

The clean up alone would dissuade me from wanting to do something like that.
