  • Опубликовано: 31 май 2022
  • In this woodturning project video I create a hollow form from laburnum wood and show you how to add a pewter metal inlay. Pewter is a metal with a low melting point so can be used fairly easily on wood and melted with just a blow torch. When dealing with molten metal please keep yourself safe and wear appropriate protection.
    This wood turning channel, explores the uses of wood when combined with resin, epoxy, to make wood turning projects, that are easy and can be classed as art. A lot of the wood turning projects I make can be completed by the beginner through to the more experienced wood turner. If you have any ideas for artwork, wood inlays, epoxy projects please get in touch. Collaborations are always welcomes.

    Mike. What you do off the lathe is as fascinating and original as what you do on it.
    I had an idea. This works because you have gravity to hold the liquid pewter in the rim at the top until it cools. So it would be impossible to have the ring of pewter say half way down for instance because it would just run off, and you couldn't pour it on little bit at a time wait for it to solidify turn it and pour some more because that would be all jointy and lumpy.
    So what about. You create a lip, like your wing on the sycamore vase, you make a groove inside for the ring. Your pour the pewter in then you take off the lip. Perhaps I didn't explain it very well.
    Or imagine a perfect cylinder, you make grooves in it for where the pewter is to go. Then you turn a ring that slides over the outside of cylinder but it has a hole in it where you can pour in pewter, that way you could make many many rings and people would be astounded at your brilliance (actually I think that already happens)...

    Hi Mike. I'm relatively new to your channel so I just came across this video. I really like your design decisions but, even more importantly, your willingness to try new techniques. It's what David Pye referred to as "the workmanship of risk" where you're not sure whether the next action will make a piece perfect or destroy it entirely. If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend the book Decorative Techniques For Woodturners by Hilary Bowen published by the Guild Of Master Craftsmen in England. It will give you enough ideas for the next ten years of videos. Cheers.

    Hey Mike, what species of laburnum: (golden chain)( golden rain) is that ? I never heard of it being used for turning because of the cystine poison in it causing a host of ailments. You handled it like it was a regular wood for turning but all parts of the tree are supposed to be poisonous . Kind of like the urushiol in poison ivy, oak , sumac and lacquer tree but convulsions and coma from the cystine are mush worse. Is the poison only in the fruit (flowers)?

      Hi there, thanks for the comments. It's golden chain. It quite safe to turn and used a lot in wood turning. I would never use something like this to keep food in like a fruit bowl. I use a full face mask when turning and a good respirator when sanding. After sanding the wood is sealed with a quality sealer. Thanks for your concern though.

      Hi Donald, that's hard to say but I would imagine around £50.

    I tried this three times this week and it didn't work. The problem was the metal came out in a flexible snake and Hit me. The reasonsI see so far: 1. 99% tin, no alloy, therefore too soft, 2. pouring melted metal directly into the ring, shrinks due to temperature decrease and the dovetail won't hold it due to reason number one. 3. Metal doesn't stick to wood even when it is applied liquidly. Just wanted to share this experience with you. I ordered tin alloy yesterday and will try again. If this doesn't work either I'll try the other method people show on RUclips: pouring the ring separately and glue it on/in.

      Thanks for the update, I try to make a good size dovetail so it locks in. I'll be doing another one soon but trying in a side wall.

    You can't drill "FURTHER". You only drill "FARTHER".

    Never -- i.e. NEVER -- wear gloves when working with/directly at rapidly rotating machinery!!!

    • @MikeHolton
      @MikeHolton  2 года назад +2

      I am aware of the risks, this lathe has very low torque so it's not really an issue plus the gloves are fairly tight fitting so nothing really to catch. But you are right, it is generally a bad idea.
