No matter how amateur you figure yourself to be, there are always folks out there way behind at whatever woodworking technique you are demonstrating! Just to say at least some of us appreciate what you have posted. I know I do!
Nice job. I’m sure highly skilled turners would call sanding cheating. I don’t. My only complaint…I much prefer the look and feel of the low knob. And of course you should build what I want and not what you want😜
I was thinking that finishing the shaping with sandpaper instead of with the gouge was kind of cheating. There's a point where it's scary to keep cutting. Sandpaper is safe.
@@NotanExpert-Woodworking I say do what you are comfortable with to get the results you want. I have owned a midi lathe for over 20 years. But mostly for turning knobs and tool handles( and a few pens) . In other words I know next to nothing about turning. Just enough to understand where you are coming from.👍 BTW I think you did a good job shaping the front knob.It’s not like you are trying to sand in a bead. Or other details, just refining slight dimension discrepancies. And blending surfaces.
I try to drill the knob through while it is still on the lathe. But then I don't have a drill press, and I do have a drill chuck that mounts in the tailstock :)

Thanks CraneofBoulogne. I enjoy making the vids.
Thanks for another great video. 😊

That is a much better idea. Thanks.
Nice! Did the knob get stained too?
Not yet. Follow up video is in the works.
Looks like a type 11
I agree. Another video on this plane on Wednesday.
I think you'd find starting it a bit easier and a lot less scary if you knock the corners off of your stock before you start turning it.
I used to do that. Now I prefer to practice with the roughing gouge. A skew can be used also, cautiously.
