A master of his craft, my respect! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 But when I see how he works with the table saw, I am amazed that he still has all ten fingers... I wish him continued luck and all fingers! 😉
My personal favorite wood to turn. I frankly find the harder woods easier to turn than soft. Comes away nice and even. And I love the heft of a heavy, solid piece as a final product.
Not the hardest wood in the world but rather currently the hardest wood commercially sold. It is the forth hardest know wood. Your end result is beautiful however it is possible someone watching will try to copy your techniques and end up severely injured. I am fortunate to have an excellent supply of Guaiacum officinale, AKA, Lignum Vitae, over 16 inches in diameter. Have turned many pieces. It’s incredibly difficult to work therefore I applaud your skills however I believe what is shown in this video is extremely dangerous.
I shat myself watching this guy cut on the tablesaw with no fence or miter....😢😬🫨 just bare hands pushing that chunk through the blade... I don't know if that's balls or ignorance ? 🤔
@@ThaTurdBurglar it is skill. i am not really seeing a problem with what he did. if you understand the forces involved, then you know what to expect and can keep your fingers out of the blade. If anything, I would expect the blade to send the cup flying. Obviously among thousands or millions of people, at least one of them is going to learn the hard way and lose some fingers or at least get a nice cut. He has likely done this many times and is comfortable with it. what always scares me, is seeing someone leaning into the wood while cutting it on a bandsaw, and of course they have the guide open enough to let a whole torso in.
Had to pause the video to see if you still had all your fingers. What a stupid and reckless method to shape your piece. I hope that your future videos display more professionalism.
Thank you for all your comments. There are many comments that machining with a table saw is dangerous. I also have a band saw, but I am afraid of machining with a band saw. I've been doing it this way for 10 years, so I feel safe. But please don't copy it. Please try it in a safe manner. When I looked up lignum vitae on Google, I was told that it is the hardest substance in the world. If anyone knows of a harder wood than this, please let me know. I want a challenge.
Try Sapodilla fruit tree wood. In south east Asia, it's more commonly known as chiku fruit wood. It's not a commercial lumber, and is available only from fruit orchards in small diameter. Very plain looking wood, was commonly used for tool handles and small plane blocks. Another very hard wood that is not commercially available in America is Indonesia ironwood. Can get small blocks 20cm x 20cm x 40-60cm from taobao. the sample I had, even my finishing palm chisels/ gouges had trouble cutting throught with the grain with shallow cuts. End grain was slightly easier, like very very hard cheese, but blunted my Pfeil gouges real quicky.
This wood is so rare today because all the old steamships used lignum vitae for the ball bearings in the prop shafts and other driveline. No lube needed, just replace when worn.
The hardest wood in the world is Australian Buloke, which has a Janka hardness of 5,060 pounds-force (lbf). Lignum vitae: A hardwood from the Caribbean and South America has a Janka hardness of 4,500 lbf
Not only using the table saw is extremely dangerous but turning an irregular block is also very dangerous. Too many wood turning videos of this kind. 🤨
After watching the video for a second time, I would suggest you buy a band saw rather than spend your money on a doctor trying to re-attach your fingers. Even some files would be a better option.
@@rap3208 Certainly he has more skill in using the saw!! That is one skill I never developed. I am so scared of a table saw (after seeing some digitless friends) that I never bought one. I am a wood turner and my skills are OK in that department. Anyway - have a blessed new year. Kind regards.
@@wan-madeingotoislands- I have seen and worked with both. What I see in this video is Vera wood. Lignum Vitae simply looks different, color, grain, etcetera.
Nice cup! However - not really the hardest wood in the world. Here in Southern Africa there are harder woods. By the way - I have turned with L V. Kind regards - and keep up the good work.
#1. Safety should be PARAMOUNT !!!!! #2. Lighting of your piece is terrible. #3. THANK GOD RUclips lets us fast-forward videos. #4. This video is 100% click bait, You're material IS NOT the "hardest wood in the world". #5. PLEASE brush up on your editing skills, i got 15 minutes in and im leaving (And that's with fast forwarding) this video is entirely way too long, maybe throw in some music or something for heck sakes. All an all, I'd give this video a 2.5- 3 out of 10. Not good bub....not good at all.👎

One of the BEST smelling woods ever.
I encountered it often when I was in Jamaica.

@@A-Sh-71 since i think youtube will not let us give links, google: what is the hardest wood in the world
How dangerous?
Nice. But your use of the tablesaw made me nervous. Should have used a band saw.
Nice cup. I am not a woodworker, but still knew you were being very careless with your hands.
Wow great job! Safety third!
The smell of working Iignum Vitae is incredible. To me it's like flowers. Your shop must smell Wonderfull during the process
Great work! I've never seen somebody carve with a tablesaw before. I keep my fingers crossed ... for your fingers.😉
Now that’s just plain careless. You might get away with it 100 times but one of those times will be your last.
Good morning 🌅, Very nice cup,, BUT VERY DANGEROUS USING THE TABLE SAW, AND PUTTING FINGERS INTO YOUR TURNING .
WHILE STILL SPINNING , 😵💫,
The fingers inside a wide opening is not to bad - BUT DEFENITELY NOT with the tool rest there.
Had to pause the video to see if you still had all your fingers. What a stupid and reckless method to shape your piece.
I hope that your future videos display more professionalism.

@ thank you. Sapodilla fruit tree wood seems difficult to find. I'll try Ironwood. There are still many woods that we don't know about.
Yeah this one and African Blackwood are the hardest I think.
Supprised this guy has all his fingers.
Sure knows his chances amd how to exploit them....WOW.
Aestheticly pleasing result. Video was equally timbral
I had an uncle who was a retired cop. He had a set of night sticks made from this. They worked well!
Who did your uncle beat?

置いた時の音からして金属みたいですね。
手で紙やすりで磨いてるときも金属の感じに近かったです😂
They used to use this wood for ball bearings.
Complimenti che sino ad oggi sei tiuscizo ad avere ancora tutte le dita. Non sfidare troppo la fortuna
The people of Wa are so cultured
nice work
Thanks
Scared me seeing you put your hand in the spinning lump to clear out shavings.
Turned a beautiful bowl. 🥣
Will last forever

That is a lot of tool sharpening required. Beautiful piece of art sir.

Perfect job, thank you so much for great video
Beautiful design, excellent craftsmanship, --and patience!
How do you still have all your fingers ???
Mmmm oily feel.
ive use this for beautiful boxes, never really had an issue on hardness, it work very cleanly. Loved it. but small projects?
I used to make lignum vitae propeller shaft bearings for classic boats. I used a metal lathe so no dangerous saw work.
How much do you charge for each cup?
Where does this tree grow?
The Keys
@DrummerJay74 like the Florida keys?

Maybe he just has more skill than you?

This is not really Lignum Vitae. This is Vera wood, which is very close, but not the same.
This is genuine lignum vitae purchased from a reputable lumber store. What makes you say this is fake?
@@wan-madeingotoislands- I have seen and worked with both. What I see in this video is Vera wood. Lignum Vitae simply looks different, color, grain, etcetera.
Thank you for your valuable opinion. It's not a problem because I trust the lumberjack, who is an expert in wood, more than your experience.
@@wan-madeingotoislands- Fair enough, but trust isn't enough to negate fact. As Reagan said, "trust but verify".
its just a matter of time before you lose a finger. you are setting a poor and dangerous example for others.
Is this guy a master and all this is normal? Because what the actual f was happening on that table saw?
Опасно пилой работаешь!!!))) Добра, здоровья, пальцы береги!) Кукса - огонь!)
SUGOI !! Hotoni Sugoi !! Hoshi ! Iro wa kirei desu. Kono video arigatou !!
Australian Buloke 5060 on janka hardness scale
Nice cup! However - not really the hardest wood in the world. Here in Southern Africa there are harder woods. By the way - I have turned with L V. Kind regards - and keep up the good work.
risky but beautiful :D
What a terrible waste of this wonderful wood.
Everything about this process should not be recorded for a video - unless it's for safety education on what not to do
Lignum ls pretty cool but I prefer ligma personally
This a very interesting use of this wood since it is somewhat toxic to humans.
What is the name of this type of wood?
don't do this at home
Came out really nice....many lips will kiss...
ナイフの刃跡がつけられないのが残念です木目調の木の艶といい 色といい 申し分がない‼️
ナイフの刃跡が残らないのは、この木の硬さを物語っていますよね！
Them fingers ain't so hard... Had to stop watching
And the winner for scariest use of a table saw goes to...
Same
Don't do this... ANYWHERE !!!!!
I don't make videos just for you.
Your comment will be taken as the opinion of one individual.
Thank you for providing your valuable opinion.
Unsafe woodworking .
