Where have you been ive been waiting weeks for another video???your killing me man...lol.
I like the muted letters and think they look better than they would if they were brighter. Goes very well with the distressed look of the project. Great project!
You know what Bob always said "There's no such thing as mistakes, only happy accidents" Oh Bob, what a legend. 😆 Lol
I think this turned out great.
The writing on the top is fine. You don’t always need it to jump out. Restrained. Well done.
Hey man, I love the letters ghosted in like that. That was a happy mistake that I think looks better than if it was white. You’ve inspired me to jump in and get a lathe.
Quick tip: Next time you want to match a profile, cut out a full size negative side for reference. Don't need to worry about measurements, just hold it up to the work piece. I usually print, then glue it to cardboard or hardboard and cut it out. But since you have the CNC, might as well use that for your profile guide.
Thank you for showing the mistakes. I am not one that likes the distress look but I think the crack goes with the distress look.
I like it
Looks great. I think your too hard on yourself. While the flaws were still flaws, they ended up giving the stand great character. Hope to see more wood turning videos in the future!
I dont care for the white base, I'd rather stain it with that beautiful color entirely. Anybody else?
Neat project Jay! Thank you for always sharing with us! 👌👍😎JP
Nooooo!!! I like the subtlety of the stained letters. Like a hidden message under the cake.
for future reference an easier more accurate way to get the profile on the stand would be to put a 1 to 1 print out on the bed of the lathe use a bright spot light to shine straight down on the back edge of the turning to cast a shadow on the print out...simply remove material where appropriate.
If you're going to make a stand, it may as well be a cake stand! Interesting project and nice you gave it away. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
looks great! Glad you took the chance on the build. The lettering turned out great. It looks intentional, as if you were trying to make them 'aged' along with the rest of the stand!
Turns out to be perfect!!
I think it looks great 😚
Playing with the lathe is always fun! I just embrace the mess and clean up after.
Personally love the lettering like that, it's not over powering. Great work
I think the muted coloring of the engraving looks good. It is not overpowering, and people won't notice until they are right on top of it.
Ash is awesome. It has one of the best grains
Hi Jay, for pushing stock through my planer I use push pads (hard plastic/wood handles attached to a flat base with a grippy rubber adhered to the base) Good grip & it keeps my hands even further from the blades. Even with a guard in place I get that extra level of comfort, I have seen first hand two people who got complacent around planers, both lost significant chunks from their fingers.
Jay many people set up a shower curtain around the lathe to contain the mess. Obviously wouldn't work when filming. BUT!
Solution: Glass walls!
Maybe improvise something out of old sliding glass doors.
Would love some advice on how to mount a wireless charger for a watch on the underside lid of a custom walnut/maple/mahogany mens watch box (galaxy watch). So when it's time to charge they can flip the lid open and the charger is out and ready. Glue? Deconstruct it and see if its screwable? Would post a pic if I could. Anyway I always love your content and my shirts from your shop.
If your business isn’t set up to take commissions, then what do you do? Make stuff at random and sell it?
Publish online content.
@@JayBates I like what you do. What would be the difference between your shop making such small commissions and another making content? Same tools. Great layout. Plenty of space. Motivation of the occupant? Whatever; great content as always.
Leave well enough alone. That's what was ringing in my head when you were saying you were going to add something. ha ha. It turned out great in the end though! (see what I did there?) I like the distressed base with the dark top.
Nicely done Jay! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Try blasting with Walnut shells to highlight the grain, then distressing isn't so arbitrary. Nice project.
Hi. Nice to see you with new projects in the new year. For your jointer (european version like me :D): 1. No gloves for rotating machines!!! 2. You can push at the beginning from the rear, later you can push it on the outfeed table with both hands. If all it not slippery enough, you can use Superglide from Felder and it will slide smooth. 3. For a better result, or lets say for not wasting to much material, never push down on the infeed table, only pushing forward on this site.
So why don’t you do a new shop tour as you have quite a few tools I see no overview on, the Hammer planer-jointer, Laguna lathe, etc. also which plane do you use from lie-Nielsen, link from tool page was dead? 60-1/2?
I'm heading to the website for all future videos Jay. I meant to months ago but 2020 for sure.
PS: I admired the lettering actually.
Since you're cutting the rings on a CNC, next time you could try adding tongues and grooves or dowel holes. This should produce essentially perfectly concentric glue-ups, with the downside of having to CNC everything twice.
Jay, don't beat yourself up for the lettering on the top. The piece is distressed, so the lettering would of really looked strange in a pristine mode. The way the lettering came out gives it an aged look that compliments the piece.
That piece of ash would have made an awesome tele/strat guitar body.
Machining small rabbets and steps in those rings on the ID would solve your alignment issues in glue up.
Or drill holes and use dowels. But if I were to do this, I would take your suggestion just for the cool factor!
@@doubledarefan Dowels would work too, unless you're worried you'll turn into them if you were staining and not painting.
If you decide to do a Mk. II, the top cannot wobble like that. It makes it more difficult to decorate a cake and you might try spinning the one in the video with some weight on it before shipping it. cake turn tables have very heavy bases to off set the centrifugal force of spinning the cakes, especially when they are tall and dense. I did like the stained lettering better than the stark white letters of the coasters.
Thanks for admitting the mistake. I dont think it looks bad. You could have said you did it on purpose lol
I don't care for the "distressed" artificial aging look, either. If something is going to have dings and scratches in it, there should be some kind of story behind it. I've seen the TV people doing this to their "home makeover" stuff for years, and it makes me cringe every time. :P
Still, great video on a project that took you outside your normal zone.
It reminds me of one of my early commissions. And part of the reason I don't do them.
The low contrast letters are like an Easter egg/inside joke rather than the main point of the piece. Bob Ross would be proud of this happy little accident.
You mentioned at the begining of the video that your buisness is not set up for commisioned work. May I ask what type of wood working it is set up for? Do you primarily just do RUclips content? Your website is called Jay's Custom Creations and the name itself implies you do commisioned work. I'm just curious.
I make content for my website. The topic is woodworking.
@@JayBates Thanks.
Thanks Jay! Hey, does anyone know what happened to Shaun Stone? He hasnt made a video in like 9 months. Hope he's okay.
He started a local business. He's doing good.
Personally, I like the muted letters. It's another aspect of the piece that is waiting to be discovered. "Oh, didn't see the lettering at first, nice touch."
Your lathe is the exact same one I am planning to purchase. Was just looking at it yesterday at the local Woodcraft. Seems a very sturdy machine. How do you like it?
I have little lathe experience. But I like it.
Why didn’t you just make another top. Nice project, thought the lettering took away from the piece.
Jay what happened to Shaun Stone from Stone and Sons?
He started a local business. He's doing good.
Did you make then hollow just to save weight?
Easiest way to get easy access for the screws.
I love seeing videos of you turning! Very cool man!
I’m curious how the customer felt about getting a cracked top and the lettering.
Wasn't a customer. I made it for free for her. She loves it.
A small crack like that one is not a reason to call it a failed attempt... Personally, i have no problem with smaller cracks in my bowls that I turn
I recently got a mini-lathe and started my first turning experiences. Yeah I feel 'the itch' too - the micronic wood chips hitting my arm/hands at velocity and embedding into the skin. Tried 3-4 kinds of dust collection (even going as far as to have a dust hose right on the tool), but everything is too staticky. Realizing its just a messy machine
yep, dry wood chips can feel like being pelted by splinters, the water content in green wood can heat up and almost burn your hand. usually it's not that bad, but I keep tight fitting fingerless glove on hand for the worst of it.
Actually seeing how clean you like your shop I'm surprised you have a lathe. Did you make a curtain partition to contain the mess?
@@nfix09 No but that's a good idea. The chips don't seem to travel very far though, I just seem to get a big dump of dust and shavings in a 3-4 foot nuclear shadow around you :)
What bandsaw are you using these days?
You're great. The letters are better like this. I really miss the tutorials
I'm no expert, but shouldn't the wood grain go vertically? Why cut and glue rings instead of starting from a log?
Grain direction is not a requirement for turning. I didn't have a log.
most regular wood turned bowls are side to side orientation like he was truning
If you were turning a log: would have had to turn the log on the mill like an end grain bowl (turning end grain is much harder on tools), and hollow out the center to lighten it,
would result in leaving the pith in the holding end, making the piece less stable, Log wouldn't be fully dry, so the piece could warp or split. you would likely want to re-turn after letting the wood acclimate, bare minimum press the ends against a disk sander to true them up.
Or if you don't mind joints but just wanted vertical grain, you could cut thick staves and glue them together like a barrel, glue in plywood ends for stability and workholding (rabbit them in to hide them) Frank Howrath has alot of good content on wood turning glued ring projects
but since the finished piece was painted there really isn't a need to bother with all of this, Cheers :D
show
Too cheap to just make another top? Came out great overall though minus the text.
Didn't have any more material that wide.
First!
Wow I'm disappointed in you. When I make anything whether its for a gift or a customer my name is on it if I don't like it I will redue it till I like it. Bottom line your name and reputation is on it.
I admire how perfect you are.
Charles Cabral Wow, I’m disappointed in you. When I post something I’ve written, I make sure it’s grammatically correct and doesn’t contain missed punctuation and misspelled words. If I don’t like it, I will redo it until I like it. Bottom line is your name and reputation is on it.
