I come late to the party. But as they say, "Better late than never". This piece is very well done. Actually it's better than very well done. 👍👍I think I like three sided better than four sides. It provides for a larger window. It's nice that you allowed for either your flame or a tea light. I also prefer the flame. But if I turn one like this I will make it to go both ways too. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I 'like both ideas, maybe the Paduk flame and the LED tea light. Maybe you could use the flame in the daytime and the tea light in the evening...the best of both worlds.
Excellent Gary i do prefer your segment work and the thought that goes into it when i done segment work 20 plus years ago i go a lot more satisfaction than doing normal turning
Thank you and I do have a love for segment turning. Some of it takes a lot of time to do and I like filling in with just turning chunks of a tree which I also love doing. Take care, Gary
Thank you Tony and I also like the flame the best as most do. I like the shop changes but I now have 3 boxes of things that need to find a home or tossed. Thanks for watching, Gary
I feel the same way Joseph and to be honest I have never used the metal clamps or the zip ties before showing this. Not in the way and a little extra safety is always good. I may start using them all the time. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Frank, yes that is my favorite as well as most everyone else. It was an after thought to see if it would fit in there. My wife liked it so I figured I would show it as an option as well. Take care, Gary
Very nice piece. I like the idea of a 3 piece inside out turning as opposed to the traditional 4. I prefer the insert to the light only because you didn’t recess the light. If light was installed above the insert that would have been very nice.
Thank you Jay and I agree with using the wood candle. The light was an after thought and I will be doing another where the light can be recessed. And if I can find what I am looking for it should be pretty cool. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Gao and yes it is. My wife just showed me what she wants me to make our kids for Christmas. So guess what? They are on the way. Take care, Gary
Thank you Shevill, I have have plans for one that will only use an LED light. I do like the wood flame in this one the best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 -I would choose the all wood as the best piece, because it retains its all wood and artistic design nature, if I could only choose one. Thanks for sharing, it gives me ideas.
Thank you very much Rick. Everything is working great on her computer and loaded some new software on it as well. I remember when I bought our first computer a 486 with Windows 3. I was afraid to turn it on. Within a year I was building and repairing computers for family and friends. Matter of fact I have not bought one since. But as much as I loved working on them then I have sort of lost my interest. Even to the point of it is time for me to upgrade mine but I think I will just buy one instead of building. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Prof Papa, Great Video, even if your management caused it to be a little shorter than you intended. Bet you'r in the good books for sorting out her computer. I like this 3 section idea, will have to give it a try. God Bless, stay safe. Tony
Thank you Tony! Well it was a nightmare getting the computer working but I got it done. A number of years ago I was into building computers and fixing them for friends. Trying to save the file where all her emails was stored was the biggest problem. Even putting a new install of Windows 10 was having problems. I was able to fix though. So yes she is happy to get the thousands of emails from way back..ugg God Bless my friend, Gary
Awesome work. I’m a new turner and watching your videos inspires me. I also have a Laguna lathe. And both versions of this piece are absolutely stunning, I like the led light one. Have a great day.
Amazingly delicate piece! And yet simplicity itself with your instructions. The wooden flame is lovely and I think I prefer it to the light. Naturally the /red/ of the padauk is perfect for that flame! Stunning project!
Beautiful! I've never seen one made from 3 pcs instead of 4. I especially like how you gave your wife the option of having a tea light or a wooden flame. Thanks for posting.
You're running out of ideas? Most, if not all, of your cuts/glue up's/turnings are where I see new ideas. GREAT IDEAS! and GREAT PRESENTATION. Merry Christmas, Gary & Keep turning.
Thank you James and no I have plenty more ideas in the works. Matter of fact today I was thinking of another inside out turning that will be much more different. Take care and Merry Christmas, Gary
Thank you Charles, you are welcome to "steal it" hope you can send me some pictures of it after you do. Love to see how yours turns out. Take care, Gary
Thank you Ray and I had thought of doing that. Just may have to make one to put in there. Then she can switch them around. Actually I have another idea but it will take a whole new main body. Thanks for watching, Gary
Fantastic job. I used wood turning tools when I was a kid at school and loved it. Since leaving school 39 years ago I have not had the pleasure. Watch your videos has got my creative juices flowing again. Baby steps to start with...... keep the videos coming mate. Rob, England UK
Thank you Rob! Good to hear you have an interest. My interest in wood working and math in grade school led to a career as a wood pattern maker. So I never have not worked in wood. And I still do even after almost 10 years of being retired. Best of luck, Gary
Thats a beautiful little ornament Gary and even better having a choice of a light or that little wooden candle Hope the wifes's computer is ok now .😃 Cheers, Bram
Thank you Greg and I prefer the wood flame as well. I was just going to put a piece of wood in the chuck and drill a hole to fit the stem then went with the 3 jaw chuck. I do have some jaws that will go down that small and I almost swapped them out . Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, beautiful ornament, I pretty much will always favour wood over technology. That being said, the little LED is not at all unattractive. I have made several inside out Christmas tree ornaments for friends and family (25 this past Christmas) but have always used four segments. My take away is to try 3, 5 and 6 before I go into production for next Christmas season. Thanks so much for sharing, cheers Gord.
Thank you Gord. I had always done 4 myself and decided 3 would be fun. And 6 was real easy because the same pieces for 3 work for 6. So many options and so much fun. Take care, Gary
Thank you Allen. You will find that 3 are easy to do as well as long as you have good joints. After this one I made one with 6 pieces. It uses the same pieces as the 3 version does. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Luie and for sure I like the wooden flame. Also in the right setting the LED light looks good. Plus my wife likes them both so I will go with that. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. Most meaningful time of the year along with Easter. Take care, Gary
Enjoying your channel very much. I’m leaning toward the paduke as a favorite. If you had a LED the same shape as the paduke, I would go with that. Thanks from Humboldt County, Ca.

I like them both but the one with the light has such a warm ambience. 🕯
Thanks so much. It looks as though we might end up doing it both ways.
Thanks for watching,

Cute. I think the wooden flame gives a better look but with that LED light, wow.
Thank you Khan and I can not agree more. The LED light was a WOW

like the zip tie, first time seeing that, that looks safer than metal water clamps

Great looking ornament, Gary. My vote is for the padauk, though it's good that you can opt for the light in the evening just for the change.
Thank you Alan and that is sort of the plan. As long as the wood flame does not get misplaced it should all work out.

Looks great Gary. I think the LED would look great in a dark or dimly lit room, but the wood flame looks more natural. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Mark, yes for sure you are right on your thoughts. I might bring it down to the tv room at night and set it up somewhere with the LED but most of the time it will be the Padauk flame.

Instead of gluing the segments, another turner makes endcaps that hold the segments very snugly. He says it's much faster than gluing and pulling them apart. I think that might be important for production runs, but for one-offs it might be more work than it's worth.
I have seen many use the blocks and we actually had drive centers at work similar so they have been around for 50 years that I know of. Problem is you are stuck with the same size pieces and if you want other sizes you need to make the endcaps to do them. In production yes it could be faster.
I think we are talking minutes at the most. Plus I had 3 sides not 4 so that is a whole new endcap.
I could have fit them in a 4 jaw chuck as well. Lots of ways to do it.
