Try, try, try again. And having the right wood really does make a difference.
I can turn a poplar bowl but a podlet of poplar is impossible!
I like the clear way you present spinning different topics.👍
Glad to hear that!
graag gedaan😊
Your videos are getting better all the time Mike. Love your work. I have learned a lot from you. 😁 👍 🇦🇺
Wow, thanks!
They are impressive. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thanks, you too, Glen!
Good project for those small branch pieces. Thanks for sharing Mike
Take care my friend and stay safe and well
Cheers
Harold
You bet
Good and unique project. I'm saving this video to attempt this after my Christmas grandkids gifts are done. I'm glad you kept the Opps in the video. I won't get as frustrated later.
Yes, this poplar was horrible. I did a taller one with better wood with no problems. Never quit! Overcome!
Great little project. This is something that I haven’t seen before but I’ll definitely be having a go at some. Thanks for sharing.
Good deal.
Thanks Mike. I made one out of walnut which turned out well then another where the stem broke off. They were a fun challenge and skill builder as well as a reminder of the greater skills others have and the vast amount of improvement I need.
That is awesome! Never give up. Practice, practice, practice.
Good to know I'm not the only one having an occasional disaster! 🤓👍 BIG Thank You from Northern Ireland
Thanks, Bobbie. I got to visit there a couple of years ago as part of a Scotland/ N. Ireland tour.
I can see how this will be a great skill-building exercise!
I think so too!
this is a perfect example of the way these go for me till i got a 2 inch stub left and still don't get the flower
Then you pick another blank and start over. Never quit!
Good way to improve tool technique Mike,not so easy to make,but great fun👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
It sure is
Don't cha just hate it when you have wood that won't behave! I have a problem with the real skinny stems ...... after a short time I get light headed from holding my breath! Those are great Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Take carte, Dave
Thanks, David. These are really not that difficult to get thin stems using the techniques shown with light touch and sharp tools.
Mike
Thanks for sharing your effort!!
Much appreciated.
Just picked up some green Maple.
So off to see how thin I can go 😀
Thanks Tim
Have fun! Your technique will improve with the second one I am sure. 😉
I would like to see your steady rest on that 'Spindle'. LOL. I'll have to try it Mike and add them to the Christmas gifts 😊
I have not figured how a steady rest would work on these. Maybe a corded trembler style rest if they were much longer.
Great job Mike. I made some extremely thin goblets from green maple that were similar to these flowers. I stopped turning when I could see a strong light shinning through it.
I ordered an led sewing light and will give it another go.
One of your best ever videos Mike. I was beginning to believe after watching literally hundreds of woodturning videos, that you guys never got a catch, never make mistakes of any kind. Had every custom tool on the planet to do anything necessary to achieve a perfect product. Always the perfect lathe with the perfect accessories.And yet here you are, not everything went according to plan, and yet you survived relatively unperturbed about it all. I don't know how you felt off camera, but really a masterful performance. I am wondering however, if it would be possible for you to aim a dedicated camera at nothing but the speed LED readout on your lathe and do a picture in picture like you did, just on the lathe speed. Without this knowledge, it is virtually impossible to understand what you are doing and how the tools respond to the wood. Also, the toolrest. The most misunderstood element in the entire woodworking process. Up and down, down and up, in and out, always moving, and no one, literally no one on RUclips or anywhere else in social media explains WHY they move their toolrest the was they do. You senior guys have done this for so many years, that you literally don't even know you are moving it. But for us that are new to turning, these kinds of details are critical to our understanding of what you are doing. Lathe speed, tool rest movement, angle of the cut, the way the hands are held, why a particular tool, bevel angles, it all has to be known or else nothing is accomplished. I don't need to see you turning wood. There are thousands of videos out there that do that and only that. In this case maybe a little because of the delicacy of the project. You did a masterful job of explaining things this time, better than you normally do. The black background does nothing for me. I WANT to see your shop, and how you have things arranged. Watching two hands holding a tool at a disconnected lathe is an incomplete story. Where do you keep your tools while turning? How often do you sharpen during this type of project. If you senior guys wonder where are all the young new turners, the answer is is in the above comments. There are so many variables to contend with, just to make a simple cut, it is mind boggling. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Otherwise those young people are going to pick up a video game, not a spindle gouge. Have a great day tomorrow. Thanks.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide such excellent feedback. Like woodturning there is always room for improvement but only if someone is providing feedback! I will certainly explore the possibility of a dedicated camera on the speed indicator.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning maybe Grumpy will buy the extra camera for you.
Rudy Lopez did something similar at the 2020 aaw virtual symposium
Enjoyed the video, Mike. I have a number of green Bartlett Pear branches that came down in a storm recently that I am going to try. Who was the Greg that you mentioned demonstrated at your club.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thank you, Mike.
Yamabiko was doing these a couple years ago.
Thanks, I just did a Google search. Wow! Over 5 million views and I had never heard of him.
Sweet Gum or Sycamore I would guess would be great candidates. If you have ever tried to split them you know it is almost impossible to split. Very Very tough to do. Love your videos.
You are right about that interlocking grain. After doing these, I have concluded the wood is likely hickory as I had no sweetgum balls in my yard. Duh!
I watch a turner from Japan his name is Yamabiko and he makes them I made a half dozen of them but I use a light to see how thin they are and I only use branches about 1 to 2 inches in diameter and had a lot of luck with cherry but good video
I was too lazy to rig up a light but that is a great way to get thin.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I have Sewing machine lights that have a magnetic base on them there’s like 16 LEDs in each one and they work great
I investigated those and then something shiney distracted me. I need to look again.
I have been wanting to try this. Only wood that I have access to is sweet gum and I am not sure it will work. Always appreciate your videos and learn so much.
I think sweet gum will do fine.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I replied before watching the whole video. I really appreciate your sharing!
Looks like fun! It was definitely a good watch, thanks for the video!
Does the Greg Gallegos have a channel? I can't seem to find anything on him
EDIT* I think I found the video, thank you again for making this for us!
He is more of a wood artist that does some demos but no YT channel.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning i just finished that demo of his, that was very cool, he is very much an artist!
Okay, something else to add to my list of things to turn.
Face mask on.
I have a long list too!😉
Deja vieux means "already old." I think you might have meant deja vu which means "already seen."
C'est Vrai!
