Hi August... thank you for your kind words... I did some filming today and it actually wasn't raining!!! ...I hope it doesn't spoil it for you... Haha... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Luie...thank you very much.. I'm glad that you liked it... I'm imagining you and little Luie sat watching RUclips videos in the evenings... Haha ... take care...All the best.....Andy
Very nice looking Andy and the beads look perfect. I am sure the bees would love it. Great finish and I love the sound of those rain drops hitting the roof. They sound as big as golf balls. Cheers, Gary
Hi Gary...thank you.. I'm glad that you liked it...I was trying hard not to get a catch.... there is beeswax on it so the bees should be ok w it... the trees overhang my workshop which makes the rain sound louder and worse than it really is... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Danny...Haha ...the noise could be the rain bouncing on the tin roof of my workshop... thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Mike... good to hear from you... thank you very much.... this is the kind of project that I really like to do... unfortunately they don't seem to get the views that the random log bowls and scrap pallet projects get... I'm glad that you liked it... take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Frank... thank you... it's a nice project to do... just make sure that you don't get a catch on the last bead... I am surprised by how many people out there keep bees... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy, Perfect proportions on the honey pot and a superb finish. Great use of the spindle gouges and as for the "Phil Anderson" nib removal, absolutely perfect demonstration. Really enjoyed this one. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw... thank you very much... I love using my spindle gouge... I think that this was the 1st time I have done the Phil Anderson manoeuvre... Haha .. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video... take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Claire... thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it... I'm looking forward to seeing another Claire video!! Haha... I've just shot a chuck review video with foxy on my headstock... keep an eye out for it... take care...All the best.....Andy x
Very nice Andy ! love the rich colour of it and it seems to be a very tactile piece as well as being functional, I keep bees myself or I should say I did until a couple of years ago .A mild winter did not kill any wasps off and they raided my 2 hives until the colonies colapsed However I'm hoping to start afresh with a new colony thisn year Cheers and take care Bram
Hi Bram...thank you for your kind words.. I'm glad that you liked it... I'm surprised how many people keep bees ... it's a shame that you lost yours... pesky wasps... I wish you success when you do start again.... take care...All the best.....Andy
Really beautiful beehive pot, Andy! Oak is such lovely wood when turned! It is funny how people immediately associate this beaded shape with beehives... My brother is a beekeeper and we produce quite a bit of honey on the farm (except for this year, there probably won’t be ANY due to the craaaaaazy weather...) and never have I seen such a beehive basket, not even with my grandfather… The impact of children’s books… Anyway, could even be completed with a wooden honey spoon which would surely look and feel great if also turned from a small off-cut of oak… The ones you can buy are usually cheaply made… Although I would probably use it as a pen holder so I could look at it and touch it more often… As usual, great eye for proportion and harmonious shape, Andy, and a gentle touch on the lathe! Thumbssssssssss🐝 up 👍🏻😊 Bye from cold and ☔️ Switzerland 👋🏻 Take care!
Hi Jude... thank you... I'm glad that you liked it... I also like Oak... beautiful wood although it is a little prone to cracks... your farm sounds like a very interesting and productive place... the skep style beehives are ancient and I have only seen them in books and museums... they are not very practical as the colony is destroyed to get the honey out... I should have made a lid for it and perhaps a honey dipper... that would have been fun.... I agree with you about the touchy feely aspect... the piece is very tactile... thank you for your thumbsssssss up ... Haha very clever... I hope that your weather improves... I think that it may have come over here... thank you again and take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Hi there Andy! Golly, I learn new things with you with every video! Not only vocabulary but also history! I had never questioned the procedure of honey extraction from a skep until now, but now it makes perfect sense why they are no longer in use... As for our farm, I am afraid, honey is the only thing we produce, apart from my little veggies and berries... We had to sell all cows and machinery in 1974 due to my Dad’s health issues... I was only seven back then. Hard work from a very early age on the farm and in the family business (road construction), plus he was one of the best Swiss style wrestlers of his time, all this had taken its toll on his health. We have natural spring water of mineral water quality on our land, so my Dad started a trout farm which he ran until nine years ago, plus he did heavy transports for the family business. I had helped a lot with the trout farm, but I could not take it over as it is too physically demanding for a woman alone, plus I have nursed my parents since I do not have a family of my own, plus my job of course. This is why I live in the farmhouse, but the barn is used as a workshop by my brother, and the land is let to another farmer, you see. And last year, a cousin of mine re-started the trout farm, so we have fresh trout again, and that is simply fantastic. But back to our honey pot, I was thinking about a lid, too! In my mind, I pictured it slightly domed, with a little “mouse hole entrance” type cutout for the honey dripper and a carved honeybee in the middle to lift it off... I know, don’t say it, the carved honeybee is over the top... but I am sure you’ve got it in your hands there 😉 Well… Bye for now, Andy, take care 👋🏻
Hi Geoffrey... thank you very much... I have always thought that bee keeping is a fine thing to do... I'm afraid that I don't have a taste for honey.. I keep trying in the Hope's that I might acquire the taste with age but it's not happened yet... you could make the pot, lid and honey dipper... that would be great... take care...All the best.....Andy
Great pot! If I may borrow the idea it´s right on time for a present for my beekeeping brother-in-law´s birthday the 31st... Good for practice too, so off to the firewood shed it is!
Hi Den... thank you... it's not really my idea to borrow but I'm very happy to have inspired you to have a go at making one... I have been surprised just how many bee keepers there are out there... I would suggest a lid with a cut out for the honey dipper that you could also make ... have fun... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Steven...thank you very much .. I'm glad that you liked it ...honey .. I wish that I liked the stuff but never got the taste for it .. take care...All the best.....Andy
Nicely done once again Andy (and it's still bloody raining 😖😖). A lovely looking pot, again it looks like something I could easily mess up 😂. Looking forward to the chuck review. Stay safe Andy 😁👍
Hi Frank... thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it... yep still raining when I filmed it... just filmed the chuck review... dry and sunny this weekend... I might publish it tomorrow with a bit of luck... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Jay... Haha... it does seem that way.. we did see some sunshine this weekend though... I'm glad that you liked the pot... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Steve ... Haha more rain !!! ... I'm glad that you liked the pot... I filmed a chuck review today and it wasn't raining... I hope that the lack of rain doesn't ruin it for you Haha... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Woody... thank you... I'm glad that you liked it...Haha it does rain a lot here ... where are you ... I'm guessing Wales or Manchester... take care...All the best.....Andy
Awesome jar Andy, the beehive look is really great and so is the finish. I hear that it is raining again... do you ever get sunshine there? 🤪 Keep on turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍
Hi Bluey... thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it... it was raining heavy that day but it is a sunny weekend now... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi again Andy, good job on the honey pot jar. Been keeping Bees for years and have made straw 'Skeps' that look similiar to your pot. Have/are you considering turning a lid at any stage? Followed your advice on the Liberon pale polish, great stuff, gives a nice and natural hard wearing finish. Keep on turning, Steve
Hi Steve... Thank you very much... Keeping bees is a great thing to do and I admire people that keep it up... Unfortunately no matter how much I try, I cannot aquire a taste for honey... I know how good it is for you but it doesn't help... one day perhaps... A few people have asked about making a lid ... I should give it a go and add it to the video... I'm glad that you liked the French polish... I have more success using it on smaller projects than say large bowls but when you get it right it gives a beautiful shine... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Joe... thank you very much.. I'm glad that you liked it... we do get more than our fair share of rain in Cornwall... it drips of the trees overhanging my workshop as well which makes it sound worse...take care...All the best..... ☔ Andy
Hi Calvin...thank you very much.. the spacing was just 10mm apart... I have brothers but I'm sure that they don't RUclips... but I'm intrigued to find out who you have seen... take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Judith... you would think that... but actually polishing these beads and any tight curves is a lot easier than polishing a large flat or gently curved surface ... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Roy... Yes that's correct... I didn't make a lid as I was thinking about using it as a pencil pot... But I do think that it would have looked good with a lid... I hope that you enjoy making yours... I have had a few comments from people who keep bees... I hope that yours are doing well... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi RPM... I'm just in the process of making my paste ready for sale... but I'm in the UK and shipping to the USA is very expensive... I have a lot of things to work out before I start selling... but I will be in touch if its doable... take care...All the best.....Andy
First🤣🤣🤣.....nice Job ...Hello from Austria 🇦🇹👍👍👍
Hi Michl... I pinned you to top spot ... Haha... thank you very much from Cornwall 🏴to Austria 🇦🇹... take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice Honey Pot Jar!! I would have liked to see you do a top for it and a Honey dauber. Maybe in a future video? Anyway, very nice job!
