I really enjoyed this presentation, no wasted chat at the beginning, describing as you work in simple terms, the music was at a comfortable level and did not detract or compete with your narrative-it was a good choice and fitted the project nicely. Great ideas for newcomers with a small lathe. Given that eBay shopping has gained ground the past year due to the various COVID restrictions, I can see that these smaller items could sell very well-some natural, some waxed, some painted. I like the idea of a small label naming the timber species-could easily be done on home make-paper for that extra touch. I live in Tasmania on a 5-acre natural bush property with various a range of eucalyptus, wattle, blackwood and more. All hardwoods and ideal for these ornamental items, and I have many lifetime’s endless supply. Thank you for sharing your ideas & techniques, much appreciated. 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
Hi Lewis. This is a rewatch for me, like I thought I would. I've started to make bird houses and wanted to see how others are doing it. I like your template ideas, and I really like the bottom coming off for a clean out as opposed to the top coming off. I can see that making life easier. Thanks again!! Cheers, Rick
kennedy awesome! So far the only thing I've turned are a handful of Harry potter style wands. It's just as fun as I imagined (the kids love the wands too) I'm really excited to try this project and start turning pens. The project list just got much bigger!
Where have you been all my life! Thank you so much for these videos. I’m just starting with my Lathe and this helps me out so much! I subscribed about six videos back. Thank you again. 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
I found it very interesting & very helpful to those starting to 'feel their way' in woodturning as well as being a nice way to help beginners to make a little money for further equipment. Don from South Aust.
Hi, I came across your demo videos and thought they are a great idea and useful for beginneres. I wondered if it might be useful to start off by showing what the finished piece looks like. As it is, you know why you are doing things but the viewer has no idea what you are working towards..Just a thought😋
A fellow youtuber said "if you show them the finished product at the start, they will not watch the video" not sure if that is accurate or not. Something to consider. Thank you for watching!
Love your videos! I am a beginner making bird houses. did you drill the holes first in the real birdhouse, and how did you drill the 4" interior space? I've drilling a smaller hole and using a hollowing tool but there has to be a better way,,lol
Hi Patrick, I did drill a 4” hole with a Forster bit on my drill press. I made a holder to keep the wood in place as that is a big bit. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman That is awesome. I don't have a press that can handle that size bit, but I will soon. Your ideas have been so helpful Thank you!!
Excellent video. I’ve been looking for a few easier projects for craft markets. You’re previous video was also great. I’ll be revisiting both of these! Thanks, Rick
Thank you... Always learning since I picked up this hobby from videos like yours. I was wondering what to turn next, I am going to give this a go! Another good project you might want to show is turning a light house. Did that yesterday would be great to see you do this so I can see how to make mine better next time.
great job klondike buddy . really enjoyed watching you do that . if i had a bigger lathe i would make one for my mother in law shes a goofy old bird . lol
I like it. I think im gonna show what sells for me down here in texas. Did great at my last few shows. I'll definitely give u a shout out and credit for the idea in the video of course 👍
Yeah man I have to tell you you’re doing a good job. Keep up the good work. I love your kids helping you. And keep on building a beautiful work benches.
Gidday from south west of Australia. Brilliant videos. I have just purchased my first wood lathe and watching your work is worth a wealth of information. Could you do a video describing the different chisels and the correct way to use them safely and the right height to set the tool rest. Once again thank you for your help from all the beginners to this fascinating craft.
Thanks Deno! I appreciate you watching! If you want to see some videos that are already out on how to used different chisels check out Mike Waldt on RUclips. He has many great videos on the subject!
Thank you Rob, it was a bit slow motion for you advanced guys I know but Im trying to help a different group. Loved your tall ship buddy! Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I'm not advanced I'm still a beginner and I learned from your video 👍 and its great to help new people and a refresher for more advanced has never hurt anyone 👍😀
I would think you could just make a plug with a hole saw....and fill the pilot hole with epoxy/sawdust mixture. Since it's on the bottom...once all finished off it wouldn't show. I think doing that particular thing with the lathe wastes a lot of stock...
Good day sir, I really enjoyed your tutorial. I noticed the blunt angle of your bowl gouge, and was wondering if you could let me know what type it is and who manufactured it. I look forward to your next video. Thank you.
Hey! That one was close to 40 degrees I believe. It was ground on a wolverine jig. It is too short to sharpen now which is sad as it was my favourite. Thanks for watching!
Two thumbs up, Klondike Man. Great instruction and your background music is superb with appropriate volume to match your vocal. Perhaps you could make a video to help all RUclips video creators.
I make them from Cedar so I just let them weather but there are bird safe finishes you can put on the outside. I have also made them from pine to be painted. Thank you for watching!
Great video. I was just looking at turning some bird houses. LOL. I was wondering if you need to put a marine varnish on the outside ? I am in Maine on the border. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Curtis! You can put various finishes on the outside, just make sure it isn’t anything harmful to birds. If you used marine varnish it would likely need to cure for a very long time to be safe. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Great video . Just discovered your channel. I like your good, solid instruction as well as the nice music in between segments. My only question is how do you drill or make the 4 in. diameter hole in the large cedar bird house? Hollow turn? Super large forstner bit? Thanks
i love this video idea. i can see why the response was so great.... but the music.... its a bit too mellow.... i was fighting sleep! maybe a little more upbeat? thanks for the great video!
Thank you Sheryl. Music gets a lot of comments. Some love the relaxing aspect some do not. Other do not want any music at all. I mix it up now although when I do add music I still go for the calming stuff, it is excellent to watch before bed! I really appreciate you watching!
Hi Cliff, I don’t have plans for these, I just make them. For the birds I want to use them you just need a 4” diameter hole 8” deep with a 1-1/4” entrance hole that is about 6” up from the bottom. You can use any size wood you like that will house that hole size. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman hi, its almost three o'clock in the morning here. Communicating with the world is wonderful. Anyone is awake at any time. Good night from Germany!
There is one problem I see is some people think they can use it for hummingbirds. Sorry they will never nest in it. Google it if you don't believe me. So selling it as hummingbird house would be a scam. You could use it as a knick-knack to put in your house like craftsmen's of this video states ornamental. And yes they very nice.
Now I understand what it means to “ride the bevel”. Best video illustration I’ve seen!
Thanks so much for watching!
A great Video. Watching is like Meditation
Thank you Gerald, I appreciate it!
I don't think I've ever seen a gouge quite like that, but you are an artist with it!
I appreciate it Michael! Thanks
Great idea
Thanks!
Love the birdhouse and really enjoy you explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it.
I’m a 73 year old beginner, so I’m the old dog.
Im glad you enjoyed it! thanks or watching Ronnie!
I don't know for sure but the humming birds might like the little one. Well b explained and turned
Thank you Judith
The small one is perfect for hummingbirds.
I’ve never set out the small ones, just made them as ornaments. Thanks for watching Suzann!
Very cool technique. We need to swop decals. I'm trying to get more on my board in my shop of great wood turners.👍

please, just no techno/EDM/house music!😅
The bottom should be made removable to clean out old nesting material otherwise there will be a build up of parasites and no more birds will use it
Yes the bottom is removable on the functional ones. Thanks for watching though

Thank you!
Good info. But why the music?
Sometimes there are activities going on in the shop or outside noise that I don’t want in the video. Thanks for watching Leandro.
I would like to have the plans for the bird house #2 this show. Comments # 74 please.
Hi Cliff, I don’t have plans for these, I just make them. For the birds I want to use them you just need a 4” diameter hole 8” deep with a 1-1/4” entrance hole that is about 6” up from the bottom. You can use any size wood you like that will house that hole size. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
