Thank you! You made it look doable. I'm going to cut out the parts, stand my 85 year-old bones up to the lathe and see if I can be a copy cat. Have a great 2023.
Still not made any gonks after getting some gonk stuff off you but tomorrow is the day - thought I'd get a refresher tutorial. And might I say your's is the best tutorial on't t'internet 😊 Hope you're all good!
Thanks Emma, I did enjoy the video and have ordered four of your kits from your Facebook page. I will look at your other video's and pinch all your ideas. Thank you again Paul
Thank you for the VERY informative tutorial! Well done & thank you for showing your placement of your tools on the rest and describing what you are doing. I'm now a subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
We have received some of your kits today - look forward to making them for Christmas gifts - the beards are awesome. Just subscribed and look forward to following you.
This is the first of your videos I've found and I'm a subscriber immediately! I have been trying to view numerous vids on gnomes and I like yours the most! You are a great teacher and prefer your design the most, especially the scoop for the bobble!
@@TheTinyTurner I will have to send you a picture you will find it funny but i have only been woodturning for about 5 months so they are not great lol.
Hi Emma, That looks fantastic. Not something I have ever turned but something I will do in the future. Sorry I'm late watching this I have to limit the amount of time I sit down at the moment due to my back. Take care Emma. Cheers, Huw
Hi Emma, I was hoping to get in there this week just to turn a pen, but have put that back to next week. I just wish I knew what I did. Have you got a live this weekend?
Hello! Very educational video. I am trying to make these myself. Can you please tell me the diameter of the nose and hat bobble? My attempts at making the nose and bobble tend to not look right in relation to the rest of the gonk. TIA for your advice. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!
Hi there! The diameter of the nose is approximately 3/4 inch and I try to make it as spherical as possible. If I do a larger body I go up to about 1 inch diamter, and a smaller one 1/2 inch to 5/8. The hat starts at 2 inches square and is rounded off keeping as much diameter at the base/rim of the hat as possible and taper the top towards where the bobble will go. Hope that makes sense!!
Hello Emma some class work I watched your video on making the gonk. I was going to try and make one but need the furry do you send stuff to Ireland, thanks
Hi Emma, great video. Seeing that you have waxed the body have you found any issues with the glue not sticking especially using PVA glue. Plan to make one this week.
Hi Lynne! The faceshield is a JSP Powercap which I bought from Yandles. Axminster also make one which is identical. They're nice and light compared to some of the other makes and it's great to have the positive airflow system as well as the impact resistant face shield 😊
I use a bowl gouge for a lot of spindle work because mine has a very short bevel meaning the cutting edge is well supported so can last a little longer than a fingernail profile grind. I use the bowl gouge for the rough/heavy work then the spindle gouge for the fine detail 😊
In this video I’m wearing a JSP Powercap but it fell apart after 6 months so now Inwear a Sundström SR500 combined with an SR570 and that is miles better (but much more expensive, unfortunately) ☺️
Hi Emma. I'm relatively new to your channel & loving it. I've been to your web shop & bought & will defo' be back. My new wee workshop is almost complete, about a week away I reckon, then I can get on with things. Would a hot glue gun work for fixing the beard ? Keep the chill out videos coming please, they're brilliant, entertaining & informative
Hi Jim! Welcome to the channel and thanks for taking the time to say hi! Got melt glue will definitely hold the beards on, but don’t burn your fingers or press so hard that the glue comes through the front of the fabric! ☺️
Hi Jenny! The chuck is an Axminster Clubman SK100 and it is an excellent chuck 👌🏻 Fhanks for stopping by and watching the video. I hope you make some gonks 😄
One of our friends drew us a lovely family of Gonks picture for Christmas so I’m planning on making her a family for Christmas this year! I’ll be in touch! 😉👍🏼 what do you think about a female one? Using the fur around the sides and back as fur?
@@TheTinyTurner I think just leave it as a nose like the others, expressionless? Or maybe turn another little ball, chop it in half and glue them on 😉😂
@@DJ_Guitars 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That could work I guess! Haha! I was meaning more it looks a little bare just having hair round the sides and back. Wondered about fashioning some sort of skirt or similar?
It's Superglue David! We technically aren't supposed to call it that as it is (or was) a brand name. The technical name is Cyanoacrylate glue, so we shorten it to CA glue. 😊
It isn't uncomfortable at all. But I have recently upgraded to a better unit that has the fan pack on a belt and a tube system to feed the air into the helmet. Much improved 👌🏻
Nice one padauk or purple hart would make a great nose just a idea but I think it would be to much messing about to make a kit with different types of wood for the nose and bobble so something we could add ourselves
I know I am a bit late, however the fungus in the wood of any spalted timber is Dead. YET wearing a mask in general is a wise precaution while wood turning.
As far as I'm aware, it is only dead if the timber has been kiln dried, but there is still risk if the timber is not fully dry. I may he wrong, but it seems there are different opinions on this from what I have read about this since you guys pointed this out 🤔👍🏻
I have posted this elsewhere and here we go again. I have worked in the timber trade for nearly sixty years and for the life of me I do not understand what people find attractive in rotten(spalted ) timber.

Hope it goes well Steve!! They're so much fun 😁
@@TheTinyTurner thank you

Love making these guys. Was great to see how you do yours Emma. Thank you for sharing
They're really fun to do aren't they? Thanks for stopping by Jiggsy! 😄
@@TheTinyTurner yeah they are definitely fun to make. Only problem is they multiply quickly and take over the display shelf
@@JiggsysShed Hahahaaa! 😄
Wooo I love this so much, super cute gnome! 🇦🇺
Thank you for the outstanding instructions and inspiration! I'll be having a go at these.
Thanks for the "how to". Made my first gonk in my brand new lathe. What a funny guy it has become.
I gotta try one of these fellas. Seen loads on RUclips - it’s like a craze or invasion?!? 🤪Thanks for sharing! 🌲🦊🌲
Yeah they went a bit mad last year! I am late to the party really 🤣
Thank you for the VERY informative tutorial! Well done & thank you for showing your placement of your tools on the rest and describing what you are doing. I'm now a subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Ok I’m convinced I need one of these in my shop lol
I wonder if anyone has turned a biggun
Take care
Rob
I've seen some medium-sized ones... but I reckon I might have some wood knocking about to make a larger one. Might have to just do that Rob! 🤣🤣
Emma yea do it lol, he would look awesome
Very nice! I enjoyed that. thanks for sharing Emma!

@@TheTinyTurner Too late it's already started, Just awaiting fur to arrive. lol
Hahahahaaa!! Look forward to seeing the come to life!! 😁😁
@@TheTinyTurner I will have to send you a picture you will find it funny but i have only been woodturning for about 5 months so they are not great lol.
@@bandicoote1964 Nothing to laugh at no matter how long you've been turning... well apart from the gonks themselves 😁

Hope you're started to feel a bit better soon, Huw. Must be driving you mad not being able to do anything at the moment 😔

@@WoodenItBeNice ¡k
Hey i really like that face shield what brand is that?
It's a JSP Powercap, Ned :)
Very entertaining and you are so cute!
Im looking for a face mask and respirator for woodturning.
Any ideas. What does Emma use
Great work!
How about a gonk pet or a Miss gonk for the gonk? Gonks get lonely too... LOL.
I need to re-visit making a girlie gonk 😂😂
Good video
I'm just getting started and think this would be a great project to begin with, but don't have a chuck. Can they be made without one?
Hello! Very educational video. I am trying to make these myself. Can you please tell me the diameter of the nose and hat bobble? My attempts at making the nose and bobble tend to not look right in relation to the rest of the gonk. TIA for your advice. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!

Just found you and I think your gonks are adorable. Where did you get your face shield? Love that the breather part is on top.
Hi Lynne! The faceshield is a JSP Powercap which I bought from Yandles. Axminster also make one which is identical. They're nice and light compared to some of the other makes and it's great to have the positive airflow system as well as the impact resistant face shield 😊

Great informative video Thankyou, just one question Emma why do you use a bowl gouge and not a spindle gouge for this?
I use a bowl gouge for a lot of spindle work because mine has a very short bevel meaning the cutting edge is well supported so can last a little longer than a fingernail profile grind. I use the bowl gouge for the rough/heavy work then the spindle gouge for the fine detail 😊
newbie here, just getting set up in my shop. what is the brand of the face shield you are wearing?
In this video I’m wearing a JSP Powercap but it fell apart after 6 months so now Inwear a Sundström SR500 combined with an SR570 and that is miles better (but much more expensive, unfortunately) ☺️

Nice!!! Is gonk an other country's name for gnome?
Pretty much Mario! I don't know where or when they became known as gonks, but they technically are gnomes! ☺
Hi...is that the Easy chuck? What do you think of it?
I love your gongs. So good to see woman turner
Hi Jenny! The chuck is an Axminster Clubman SK100 and it is an excellent chuck 👌🏻 Fhanks for stopping by and watching the video. I hope you make some gonks 😄
Like it.
Thanks Brad! 😁
you are very pretty and Talented lady , I love the Gonk , I carve but I think I can turn a Gonk .
Were do you get the beard from?
One of our friends drew us a lovely family of Gonks picture for Christmas so I’m planning on making her a family for Christmas this year! I’ll be in touch! 😉👍🏼 what do you think about a female one? Using the fur around the sides and back as fur?
I'm working on a female version at the moment. Issue is the front though and what to do about that 🤔

@@TheTinyTurner that would work! 👍🏼
I've got some pink fur so maybe a bearded female gonk?
Buen trabajo.
Pena que no tenga subtítulos en castellano.👌👌👌👌👌
⭐️⭐️⭐️plus 2 ⭐️⭐️= 5. Ha ha ha thank you
Can you tell me the name of your face mask with the filters the top I love this and your face videos. Keep them coming.
Hi Dennis, it is a JSP Powercap but I have to warn you it fell apart after 6 months so I now use a Sundström SR 500 instead 👍🏻☺️
Bonjour Merci pour le partage de votre savoir. Je cherchais à faire quelque chose pour Noël et grace à vous j'ai trouvé. Merci
It may be a question everyone else knows but what is C A glue? (Mentioned when you glued the hat to the body.)
It's Superglue David! We technically aren't supposed to call it that as it is (or was) a brand name. The technical name is Cyanoacrylate glue, so we shorten it to CA glue. 😊
How much would this cost if you sell?
Lot of effort and skill for just 10$
I sell these for about £20-£25 and more depending on how I decorate them ☺️
How much are the kits
Tell us more about that face shield, please. Doesn't that get a little uncomfortable?
It isn't uncomfortable at all. But I have recently upgraded to a better unit that has the fan pack on a belt and a tube system to feed the air into the helmet. Much improved 👌🏻
Now that I have finally watched the "how to" video.. I had better get my kits off of my "Emma shelf" and get them turned hadn't I..?
YES!! Get the cobwebs off that 'Emma Shelf' and make a gonk John! 😁
Emma, you are so damn cute. I so enjoy watching your videos. Learning a lot. Thank you.
My comment about spalted timber was not a criticism of your work and what you do; just the timber.
Link to your mask
Nice one padauk or purple hart would make a great nose just a idea but I think it would be to much messing about to make a kit with different types of wood for the nose and bobble so something we could add ourselves
Oh a red nose might look really cool! Might have to have a play 😄
I know I am a bit late, however the fungus in the wood of any spalted timber is Dead. YET wearing a mask in general is a wise precaution while wood turning.
I'm pretty sure the fungus can still harm you.
As far as I'm aware, it is only dead if the timber has been kiln dried, but there is still risk if the timber is not fully dry. I may he wrong, but it seems there are different opinions on this from what I have read about this since you guys pointed this out 🤔👍🏻

Hi
Yanniks friend
I have posted this elsewhere and here we go again. I have worked in the timber trade for nearly sixty years and for the life of me I do not understand what people find attractive in rotten(spalted ) timber.
Each to their own I suppose, Alan. We can't all like or loathe the same or the world would be pretty boring 😄
Great job Emma 👍
