Woodturning | Beginner Scrap Wood Project People will Love!

In this video I use some scrap Maple, Black Walnut and a tiny bit of Madagascar Ebony to make some really cool penguins. These are the first ones I've made and they are a really fun project. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to everyone who watches!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks for watching!

[@jayscott306]

Those are really nice. I know that commenting helps with video and channel recognition but I often feel like I don't have much to say. I will add this, I did not realize that you should let the polishing products set for a while before adding the wax. That might explain why sometimes I'm not getting the results I'm expecting. Speed/friction of application isn't the issue. It could be that the times it does work perfectly, I'm delayed in getting the wax put on. But now will be mindful of it, so thank you for that, Lewis.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Jay, I appreciate it. Hope that helps!

[@SteveC38]

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Jeanie, these are fun!

[@stephanielovatt2787]

These penguins are really cute! They could sell reasonably well, here in New Zealand, because they are a popular bird. We have native species, but also get visitors from Antarctica.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Very cool Stephanie! I appreciate you watching!

[@kyleb835]

I really enjoyed this and surprisingly simple. Thanks

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Kyle, lots of fun also!

Great project. I’ll be making a few as ornaments as my son loves penguins.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Perfect, thanks for watching Greg!

[@andrewpassey1769]

This is a really fun project, thank you for the idea👍

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you for watching Andrew!

[@ClintHitchcock]

Awesome man! Great idea. Love the skew work. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Clint! The skew work is sketchy buddy!

[@philipoliver8092]

Brilliant as always. Doesn’t have to be Xmas things . These would fly out the door I’m sure

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Phillip, I agree, I didn’t call them Christmas items I don’t think. Should be a year round seller for sure!

[@rogermartin7346]

Cute, kiss must love them

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Roger!

[@kathrynseaman6482]

So cute! Reminded me when I made 125 penguins from clay then had to paint them. School reunion and penguin is the mascot! Wood turning would have been much quicker!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

That’s a lot of work! I think these were more fun! Thanks for watching!

[@annwahlstrom149]

Wow, they are adorable!
Well turned!
Cheers from Sweden!
🤩❤❤❤👍🎃🧛‍♀️🧟‍♀️

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Ann! I appreciate you watching!

[@dougvokins2827]

I'm just about to head to the garage and glue up some walnut and maple and give these a try. Would you share with me the type of wax that you applied? Thanks.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Hi Doug, it is HUT wax, you can get it at hut products online. Thanks for watching!

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

I have some walnut and hard maple pieces. I'm going to try this. My walnut is twice as thick as the maple, 1" and 2", will those dimensions work?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

It certainly will Dennis. Love to see how they turn out!
