Omg.. WOW, you are a role model for women. That’s is amazing, just shows we really can do anything 💯👏👏👏👏
Hi Annette, thank you so much for the huge compliment 😊
Ugly wood really makes the most beautiful projects. All it take is skill and patience. Excellent work!
Thanks Thomas!
That looks amazing! Don’t be to hard on yourself about sneaking up on the inside dimensions. A little to far and not only do you lose all the time and effort you’ve invested, but also that beautiful piece of burl. The concept of measure twice, cut once doesn’t just apply to flat work.
Ha ! I just said those exact words about cuts & flatwork yesterday ! -Mike
Thanks Duane. I was more than a little afraid I was gonna screw it up - next one will go more smoothly, as I’ll have some idea as to the process.
Your decisions to do your own changes were clearly successful. A flat grain plug could stress the small cracks by expansion, but an end-grain plug adds nothing--it’s part of the rest of the beautiful wood. Colored epoxy treatment of the cracks was especially successful!! Thanks for your video (and the gray hair looks beautiful).
Thank you Ernest. I’ve got another one of these on the lathe and am trying a few different techniques with it
This is truly a one of a kind travel mug. The burl is beautiful.
Thanks Tracey. I have another on the lathe at the moment - I still can’t believe the grain in this burl! So lucky to have it and to have some good sized chunks left!
Just a lovely piece of work. You never gave up and pushed on. Well done Lisa.
Thanks Ralph, much appreciated!
Who ever said women aren't as good or can't do the same as a man just got proved wrong. I like the crack in the wood as it goes up, kink of looks like a copper river heading south. Excellent work, keep it up. John
Hi John, thanks for the kind words. I agree the crack adds just another dimension to an already amazing piece of wood!
You are amazingly talented. It truly amazes me how you are able to take a stump of wood and turn it into a beautiful work of art. This has to be one if the most beautiful tumblers I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing your craft with all of us. I enjoyed watching. 🙂
Hi Lisa, thank you so much. I was pretty blown away when I cut that burl open and got a look at what was inside, and I’m so glad that I was able to make it work out!
Fantastic bit of turning. Your are a credit to woodturners all over the world. Keep it up. Ian in Great Britain.
Thank you so much Ian, that’s really kind of you to say 😊
Lisa, enjoy your videos because they don’t have annoying music, and, even though I
Have been turning for a number of years, I always learn something.
Keep up the good work and I have subscribed.
Hi Keith, I’m so glad you’re here! Just a word or warning, some of my older videos do have music - it took me a while to sort out the format I wanted to use (and that the majority of my viewers wanted to see) but this is how they will stay 😊
I’m not a woodworker, but I find your videos fascinating. Love watching the transition. Thank you for the commentary. A lot of videos don’t have it and I often wonder why certain things are done.
Hi Michael, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thanks for letting me know - I’m happy to know that non-woodworkers can get some entertainment from them as well 😊
Ein super Becher! Hervorragend gearbeitet!
Ich wäre stolz, so ein tolles Stück vorzeigen zu können! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Danke, Gerhard!
This is a stunning bit of work. So lovely to see women in the woodshop. Really great end result.
Hi Stacey, thank you so much!
Lisa, your commentary and wood-turning skills are very entertaining and enlightening.
Thank you Jesse-much appreciated!
Wow this is gorgeous. I absolutely admire all your knowledge. Women rule in so many ways. The wood is beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks Helen. It was a struggle for a while but it came out beautifully. I’ll be making another one from this burl as a commission and I have a few ideas as to how to improve the process and also able it so the insert is removable for cleaning. We’ll see if they work
This is the first video that I watched of your wood turning and found that I am a fan. In addition, I will check out the rest of your turnings. Love the travel mug. My kind of coffee cup!
Thanks and welcome! I’m really glad to know you’re enjoying the videos 😊
I love how woodturners are very honest with how they approach their projects... Well most of us anyway. You calling the instructions, "Destructions" is exactly what I do. My kids look at me weird every time. Now that they are old enough to help, they too understand why they are destructions.
That piece is beautiful, I've wanted to try those mug kits myself, but I'm a little too new to turning. Maybe if I win yours, It will inspire me to get one going myself. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Andy, thanks so much for watching. I have to admit this project was one of the tougher ones I’ve done, mainly due to the hollowing. I don’t have a hollowing system, my carbide cutter was dull, and my bowl scraper wasn’t long enough to reach into the bottom so I struggled. But in the end I’m thrilled with how it turned out 😊
@@LisaRamlow I need some longer tools myself. Always something more to get. Lol
Very nice work. Burl. Wow gotta love a nice burl. And birds eye?? Unbelievable.
Right!? I just about squealed when I cut it in half - couldn’t see anything from the outside giving any indication to what a gem was hiding inside! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Beautiful piece Lisa. You’re a real trooper you don’t give up you persist and the end result speak for itself great job. I have a small safety tip for you should consider. Do not wear rings on your fingers when wood turning, because sometimes when you put you hand on the wood or when you’re sanding the ring could catch and do serous injury to your finger.
Wouldn’t want you to get hurt.
Keep up the great turnings.
Hi John thanks for the kind words and for the safety tip - much appreciated!
6 hours just on the inside? That’s dedication. I hope the person who won it enjoys the $750 coffee mug. 😜👍🏻
Love the mug. Thanks for showing your skills off. ✌🏻
It was painful! But I’m set now for the next time. Well, a little better anyway. If I do many more tall things I’m gonna want a hollowing/boring bar type thing. Thanks for watching 😊
Absolutely beautiful. I watch a lot of these videos and like the fact how ever think doesn't work out, and you show us ways to correct what the wood gives you. Gratitude sharing.
Hi Barney, thanks so much for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos - I figure I should show the good, the bad, and the ugly. And fortunately I am persistent 😊
Love the travel mug. While most turners are making bowls, something different. Great job.
Thank you David! I do love to make bowls, but it's nice to do something different once in a while 😊
BEAUTIFUL!!!I would never be able to find such a beautiful piece of wood like that here in Spain, where I live! You are so talented!!!
Thank you Russ. This was a pretty spectacular cherry burl! 😁
indeed you have found a gem of nature. such a unique mug . Thank you for sharing
Hi Garry, it really is quite a spectacular piece of burl.Pretty excited that I have some pieces left!
I admire your stick too ittiveness...Some projects just work you to death. Beautiful job on the mug...
Hi David, thanks for watching. I agree, some things will just fight you til end - I’m just glad I came out the winner here 😊
Wow👏That's alot of work, but amazing result🙌
It was. Thank you! Cheers!
First time I've watched you and I enjoyed how you described the work. I mostly turn handles for fishing rods. I have only turned a few others like bowls and want to try more things. I always drink coffee from a travel mug and watched you to learn what I need to do to make one myself. Thanks.
Hi Russ, thanks for stopping by! I’ve never seen fishing rod handles, that sounds interesting.
Great job. The burl is hard wood, and that's an understatement.
Hi Howard, thank you. it’s even harder when your carbide cutter is dull!
That is beautiful! And I can’t believe you give them away! You are awesome. Thanks for an incredible video.
Thank you so much! I’m not a coffee drinker so it was a little easier to let it go! 😂
This is just a beautiful project. Anyone should and would be proud to receive.
Thank you so much David!
You're right that burl does resemble bird's eye maple a lot. And despite the overall length, I really like it extra tall like that. Nice finish that is not too glossy. Well done!
Hi Richard, thanks so much for watching! It seems that bird’s eye may apply to other woods as well. The finish came out really nice- I like the matte finish of the Tried & True for utility pieces and it just feels good!
I love your work Lisa, my turning is somewhere between yours and Phil Anderson's so I guess I have a split personality. If that shirt ever has pups I'd love one, I hate cities. The bush is where I have lived for the past 30+ years and it's where my heart is.
Hi John! I lived in Ann Arbor, MI for many years and while I much prefer living in the woods, Ann Arbor is a great place and I do miss it sometimes. Particularly the restaurants - I love Indian food, and Ethiopian, all all kinds of other things you just don’t find in more rural areas. There are places like that within a couple of hours but I miss the days of “I don’t feel like cooking tonight - let’s get Shalimar takeout!” 😂
In any case, our little tiny local gift shop makes the shirts - talk to Janet or Pat at www.upnorthgift.org and order one, they’ll ship it to you 😃. They carry the work of all three of us Bear Track girls in the store and are great people 😊
@@LisaRamlow I'm now retired and living on 15 acres just 5 miles from a small town. The last place was 50 miles from the nearest town and we shopped just once a month so I truly loved the solitude. To me this place is like city living, just too crowded. Thank you for the information, I'll certainly have a look. All the best and keep up the good work.
I accidentally came across your channel, but here I am to stay. It appears you haven’t been turning for long, but I am very impressed with your technique’s and results. Congrats! Cheers, Sean
Hi Sean, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Been turning just a bit over a year so am definitely learning more everyday and having a blast. 😊
Just started watching wood turning videos because they are so involved yet calming. You are the first woman I have found to watch. I am so happy to see someone like me doing something I might like to try. Thanks for what you are showing and explaining, it is great for newbies to your craft.
There are several women turning, here's one, Pam. ruclips.net/channel/UCYjEuaj4FyoZiZxfsrAfitA
There are a couple more, but Pam is my favorite. For some unknown reason, old men like watching good looking women. Lisa will do well. Larry
Hi there, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. There are a handful of women turners on RUclips, which is pretty cool! You should definitely give it a try, though I warn you in advance you’ll likely be hooked 😉
Awww shucks
I’ve gotta go check out Pam - I don’t think I’ve watched her before
The Wood Whirler
PF Woodturning (Peggy)
Kim Tippin
Ashley Harwood
are all inspiring women woodturners with RUclips channels along with Lisa.
Lisa, if you rub some chalk on the stainless mug and insert it in the blank and twist lightly, you can see where you need to remove more wood. Beautiful travel mug.
Hi Joe, thanks for watching! That’s a great idea with the chalk - I use that when I’m jointing or planing flat stock, but didn’t think of it for this. I’ll keep that in mind for next time! 😊
Great looking piece of wood. Nice application for it, too. If you make another one, line it with felt, so the stainless cup fits in tight. Then, don't epoxy it in. That way, the insert can be removed for washing without damage to the wood.
Thanks for watching, and for the tip - I’ll have to give that a try!
That is so cool looking , great job. I love it , I am just now learning to turn you gave me in speration I am 66 years old and will never be as good as you but I do enjoy watching you work and maybe learn a little something. Thank you
Hi Richard, thanks for stopping by! Don’t sell yourself short - it quickly becomes an obsession and you’ll be surprised at how much you learn in a short time 😊
Little things make me happy. Like tearing off a small piece of paper towel when that's all you need, instead of tearing a whole towel and tossing 3/4ths away.
Absolutely. And all but the thicker shop towels are 100% recycled. This should be common practice. Do what you can where you can 😊
I have been enjoying and learning from your creations for a while now. Keep up the good work! You've inspired me to get busy in the garage and turn some "stuff". Thanks
Hi Michael, most excellent! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos 😁
Thank you for the video. I'm fairly new to wood turning and have been practicing in my spare time. This video is the first of yours that I've seen and thought that it was very informative and well done. Thanks again, Tom.
Hi Tom, thank you so much for watching, and for letting me know you’re enjoying the videos - I really appreciate it!
I just found your channel and subscribed. I have recently retired and have been doing woodworking for about 46 years and will be adding turning to my list of things I will be doing. I am i the process of building our retirement home and that is keeping me busy. Don't worry about the gray hair. I was so impressed with your turning I didn't even notice.
Hi Dave, thank you so much. You will love turning - prepare to be obsessed 😂
You know I honestly don’t mind the gray, it just sneaks up on me sometimes 😉
@@LisaRamlow I once read a comment that said we should never regret growing old many never have the chance.
A beautiful piece of wood well crafted into a very usable mug. Well done. Stay safe look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hi Michael, thank you so much for your support-it’s much appreciated 😊
Wow...what a project. It’s beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Thanks SueEllen! I’m grateful to all of you who are hanging out with me and I’m happy to be able to do a giveaway!
Keep the comments coming!. Lovely cherry burl mug,Beautiful grain.Keep Safe ,Raymond.Orange,NSW,Australia.
Thanks again Ray, I appreciate you watching and the support!
Very nice work. And a lot of burl left to make with. Beautiful
Very nice indeed! Much to late for winning anything but a lesson in turning. Thank you.
Hi Bernie! Yes this giveaway is over but I’m sneaking up on 5000 subscribers so I’m planning on doing another one soon - stay tuned! 😁
Great job, the grain is beautiful. A gap inside between the stainless steel insert and the wood is good to have to act as a better insulator. Also, good call on dishing the bottom slightly it will help keep the mug clean and not stick to any spilled coffee! I make so many of them, I have made a template for how far I drill and where to taper every time.
Hi Hashim, thank you so much for stopping by! My next travel mug will definitely be done a bit differently 😉
Your work is beautiful and I love the fact that, during your video, you are open about mistakes you made or problems you had to overcome. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching you create more beautiful pieces.
Thank you Steven, I really appreciate it! I figure I should show you guys the food, the bad, and the ugly 😊
really lovely mug...as a bran new female woodturner, i'm really inspired...thank you..
Hi there! I’m only into this a little over a year, and learned almost exclusively by watching turners on RUclips-there are a lot of good ones out there!
Wow! Crazy burl pattern. Looks like the surface of the Mars. Good job!
Hi Lou, thanks for watching - that really is some spectacular grain in that burl, isn’t it?!
Great job, burl is never easy to turn but is always beautiful once done.
Thank you! Burl rarely disappoints 😁
The cherry burl travel mug is beautiful! The wood grain is amazing, especially once it’s sanded & oiled. It’s really interesting to see everything involved in the process of making a simple cup. Keep these videos coming!
Hi Sue, thanks so much for watching! You’d have a hard time keeping me out of the shop these days 😃
Great piece ! You can always turn a little or sand a little but..... it's hard to put it back on , sneaking up on it is the way to go. Stay safe.
Exactly! Next time I’ll have a better idea of how it should go. Thanks for watching 😊
I love the look of burl grain. You did a beautiful job turning the mug. If by some remote chance I were to win it I'd be honored to have it. Keep on turning.
Thanks Donald, I appreciate it 😃
Beautiful wood grain. I did the same mug and didnt want to plug the bottom either. Mine was a glue up of walnut sandwiched between two maple boards, one of my first projects when I started turning. Stay safe, keep turning.
Hi Ron, thanks for stopping by! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought the whole make a hollow then plug it thing was weird 😂
I’ll bet the walnut and maple turned out really nice. Thanks for watching, stay safe.
Awesome character in that piece. Thank you for sharing your process and thoughts about it too.
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Thanks Bluey Cheers!
gorgeous - I use a travel mug twice daily and would cherise this beautiful work of art.
Thank you Renee - good luck!
Sounds like you learned a lot from this project. As did I watching it. Burl looks really nice.
Thank you Scott! I’m really happy with how it turned out!
What a wonderful idea. I have seen these at road side stands. Very beautiful.
Thank you Samuel!
That’s fantastic! The most beautiful grain ever! Great job!
Thank you! 😊
GREAT JOB. Beautiful burl. I don't see any issue with the tall cup. Looks like it makes it more stable plus keeps more of the stunning wood.
Hi Ron, thank you so much! This was an incredible piece of cherry - so glad I have a few pieces left!
That came out beautifully. As a former 13 yr employee of Woodcraft, I can assure you that many Woodriver instructions make no sense. Very nicely done!
Hi Doug, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was confused about that! Thanks for watching-much appreciated!
Lisa Ramlow your hair is SILVER! And it looks beautiful
that is a beautiful mug! well done!! someone is really going to enjoy their coffee in that
Thank you Graham!
My husband watches your videos. He thought you might be from Michigan, you once had a shirt on that either said Bromen, Buckley or Britely? Anyway he enjoys your wood working. He does what he can with woodworking. Parkinson's gets in his way a bit but he has turned some nice things.
Hi there! I am from Michigan-currently living in Bitely. So sorry to hear about the Parkinson’s - that does make things much more difficult 😕
A beautiful work with a beautiful piece of wood. It was great to see you turning this mug.
I hope, you deliver to Germany.
Thank you Dirk, and good luck!
Absolutely gorgeous! And it combines two of my favorite things: coffee and natural wood!
Hi Sarah, thanks for watching! I wish I could say the same about coffee but I’m just not a fan. By the time I’m done making it palatable it’s a milkshake! 😂
That’s awesome!!! I love the figure in the wood and your work is impeccable!
Thank you so much Jeffrey!
Looks great. A lot of burls have birds eye in them. And they are generally hard as nails too lol
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching. I guess I’ve only ever really seen birds eye in maple but I’m sure happy it presents in other woods too 😍
I'm new to turning and your videos have been a great help Really like the way you describe the steps in your projects. Not sure how people "self taught" before youtube.
Hi Peter, I agree - I guess there have been books and magazines for a long time, but being able to watch someone makes all the difference in the world. Unless you want me to do a pull cut, then all bets are off. I’ve watched Lyle Jameison’s video on the pull cut eleventy-billion times and I still can’t get it right. It should be
Anchor-Bevel-Twist-Cut but mine is
Anchor-Bevel-Twist-Catch-Curse 🙄
What a perfect cup and a great wood to use.
Thank you!
Beautiful job on the mug. The burl is amazing and my favorite to work with as well. Look forward to the next one!
Thanks Brent, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!
@@LisaRamlow oh and the grey hair....we just call it arctic blonde
Definitely some crazy looking wood! Great job with it. I am just getting back into woodturning, and enjoy listening to your remarks. Glad I’m not the only one that makes some mistakes, but if you learn from them then it’s all good.
Hi Scott, thanks for watching. I figure learning from your mistakes is one of the best ways to improve, so long as you’re being safe 😊
Lisa, you did an awesome job and made it look easy, and from experience, I know it’s not! Congratulations 👍
Thanks Debbie! I figured people need to see the good, the bad, and the ugly 😂
Lisa Ramlow there was no bad and ugly😄
That wood is absolutely gorgeous. Good call not using a contrasting filler
Thanks Scott! I wish the metallic of the copper powder had shown up just a little more, but it’s such a gorgeous piece it really doesn’t matter.
Beautiful grain. I’m sure the winner really enjoys using their mug 😊
Hi Rosie, he does indeed! I made a second one for a commission a couple of weeks ago and did an epoxy resin finish on top this time. That came out nicely too! 😃
Beautiful mug! Love the natural grain and the use of the copper powder so as not to take away from it. I just started turning and learned a lot from this video. Thanks!
Hi Ashley, thanks so much for watching and letting my know you enjoyed the video. I’ve been turning a bit over a year and am learning more every day. There are some great turners on YT and it’s amazing how much you can pick up from watching someone
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. The best to you.
Thank you for watching - I’m glad you’re enjoying them 😊
The video is good one. The mug looks amazing.
Gray hair ain't always a bad thing.
Thanks Joey! I really don’t mind the grey, it just sneaks up on me sometimes 😂
Strange instructions indeed - good that you followed your own instinct - and made a Beautiful piece of work to look at and I imagine to use too! I admire your persistence and the baby steps principle is good - ye cannae put it back!
No, you definitely can’t put it back! Though a sharp carbide will go a long way to helping the hollowing process as my scraper wasn’t long enough to reach the last bit 🙄
Holy flipping crap!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Yeti, brumate, contigo... have nothing on that 😍
Hi Mel, thanks so much for watching! It is pretty spectacular if I do say so myself 😃
That is really awesome. I love the grain. Great idea using the copper in there. 💖💖💖
Hi Connie, thank you so much. I really liked the copper as well
Just found your channel. Love seeing women do this craft!! Keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you Rhonda!
How did I miss this video? That is a wonderful piece of burl. I love the final result!
Glad you didn’t miss out on getting in on the giveaway!
Looks like all the time paid off. Beautiful
Hi Alan, it was definitely a labor of love and dogged determination 😂
Well, fancy just finding your site for the firs time and u are giving away this beautiful mug container. I saw it being built so I know of it’s quality an sure would like to be winner of this fine piece u made. It sure would go well in my shop. Thanks for making the offer!
Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful travel mug! Great work! Congratulations on reaching 1,000!
Hi Scott, thank you so much!
Real nice work... I like turning Cherry. It always seems to have that warm look to it.
And it smells good too! Thanks for watching 😊
Hey Lisa,
What an awesome piece of wood! And to think that was just such a little part of it 😃😃
Well done on execution too, it turned out great!
Best regards
Lars
Hi Lars, thank you so much for the kind words - this one was a bit of a challenge for sure!
I think that would be more difficult to do then a person may think just looking at it your work is really pretty and your choice of word absolutely gorgeous I have trouble hollowing out vessels or vases apparently I just don’t have what it takes to do it with Out major difficulties but I’m going to keep trying maybe you will find an easier way and I will learn from watching you thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge
Hi Randy, thank you so much for watching. Hollowing is a struggle for a lot of us I think - this mug is the largest piece I’ve had to hollow and it was tricky. If I think I’m going to make tall vessel type things in the future I’ll probably look into a boring bar or hollowing system that attaches to the lathe bed for stability.
Well done. Nice piece and choice of material. I struggle with hollowing and hope to purchase a hollowing system after reviewing them. I enjoyed your commentary.
Hi Ray, thank you so much. I will also be looking into a hollowing system down the road, as well as a steady rest
That is a beautiful pease and so handy just keep turning
Hi Tommy, thank you so much! 😃
That’s so nice you did an excellent job fitting the insert and the burl turned out beautifully , I’m gonna try one , I have a red oak burl I been wanting to do something with . Thanks for the video
Thanks Jim!
Very nice, logical and thoughtful approach to the project.
Thank you Dennis!
Like the travel mug.....always looking for new ideas....This is the first time watching you and became a subscriber....enjoy your commentary about the process...really looking forward to future videos as I catch up on previous ones. Thanks for you time in doing this. Stuart
Hi Stuart, welcome! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. it took me a while to figure out what format I wanted to use and that was really decided by the comments I received liking the voice over. Anyway, thanks for subscribing-more stuff on the way!
Love Love Love it! Awesome piece of wood and a beautiful end result.
Hi Robert, thank you - much appreciated!
Beautiful wood, really a great project. Turned out fantastic.
Hi Robert, thanks for watching! I have to agree, I’m pretty pleased with how it came out!
Nice piece, with stunning burl. I have made a few travel mugs now. I hollow them about 3mm deeper than the length of the insert. I also use a waterproofing silicone sealer, the same sort of thing you use for roofing, or around your sink, under the lips, t prevent any water getting under the insert, and an expanding polyurethane glue like gorilla glue to hold the insert in. I found out the hard way, don’t use too much gorilla glue, as it can crush the insert.
Hi there, thanks so much for the tips! I thought about using silicone to seal the liner and mug but did actually use what the instructions said, which was epoxy. I think next time I’ll do the silicone to keep water from getting between the liner and mug.
Turned out beautiful. It almost makes me wish that I drank more coffee. LOL. Enjoyed the video. Congrats on the subs.
Hi Dave, thanks so much. I don’t drink ANY coffee 😂
Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent
Thank you so much Cheryl, I appreciate it!
Awesome project. Looks way better then my attempt at a travel mug. Thanks for sharing
Hi Stan, thank you so much 😊
