Woodturning - This Was Totally Unexpected!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2022
- So the plan for this video was to turn a Christmas tree with last year's Christmas tree. However, when I started to turn this wood it was splitting and tearing all over the place so I decided to keep turning until I got to a usable piece of wood. For some reason, the idea to turn it into a honey dipper came to my mind, and then I thought it'd be a great idea to turn a honey pot. It was totally unexpected for me as my plan went completely out of the window but I decided to just go with it. Sometimes my best work comes from moments like this.
The pot is made from American black walnut that has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with sanding sealer and wood wax. The lid is also black walnut and the handle is made from Zebrano.
Let me know what you think!

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

Have you seen that I have a website?! Visit it here: www.harrysmithwoodturning.com/
Yes, and don’t put your fingers inside the bowl
I know the problem. I tried to turn a huge vase from a cherry log... it ended up as a honey dipper. My wife asked if I could turn a large platter for Christmas treats... another honey dipper. Last month I started work on an oak desk... fortunately, it was for a friend who loves honey so it wasn't a total failure.
By the way, does anyone need a honey dipper? Give me a call. I've got a few.
😂🤣 love it Ron!!! 🐝
As someone interested in starting Turning I was wondering why you would turn a toothpick from a log... seemed like a massive waste when I first watched this however it makes sense if the wood is cracked etc!!
Thanks Ron, there appears to be a saturation in the honey dibber Market at present, prices have hit rock bottom 😂🤣
Hope all is well? 😃🪵👍
@@solidarityworkers6900 cheers Sol 😃🪵👍
@@CBPM_ Hi Jim, the wood will always be the boss in any project... 😃🪵👍

Gee, wish you were my brother then I could have hinted for this beautiful honey jar as a Christmas pressend! I would love to have owned one like that. Greetings, Sara from South Africa.
splitting or not, working in fresh wood carving and so on, this wood is lovely and got a very interesting look

Eu também sei bem o que é isso. Eu costumo dizer que a madeira tem personalidade e é ela quem define no que quer se transformar e o mais incrível é que ela sempre tem razão. Já torneei algumas peças que eu nunca imaginei que faria. No decorrer do vídeo percebi que você usou ferramentas poderosas(grandes demais), então ficou uma dúvida: Será que o resultado seria diferente se você tivesse usado ferramentas menores? Parabéns pelo vídeo!
Te ha quedado genial. Un saludo desde España.
As a guy who's been turning for over a decade, all I can say is -- Wow.
That came out just beautiful. And it made me think of two artforms, one horizontal and one vertical, that are remarkably similar: I'll bet woodturners make GREAT potters.
Beautiful Harry, and practical! Love the different woods.
What a beautiful piece of wood for the honey pot and lid! Good job on the dipper. That turned out really pretty
If I had the tools I would be playing with wood all the time, I love the smell!
And I love wood made into artful objects.
Just beautiful Harry!
Me too...I walk into furniture stores and just inhale the smell of wood...😂
@@janicehattaway5916 😁
The smell yes but be very careful with some species of wood, you can develop a sensitivity to it so always use dust protection. Not those paper masks a good one like a respirator.
I absolutely love it when folks listen to the wood. It will always tell you what it wants to be.
That turned out quite beautiful. I cant wait to get my wood shop rebuilt and get my lathe going. The lathe is my favorite tool of them all.
I always have faith in wood....when a project seems to go wrong, is wood that tells you what to do! Great job Harry....merry Christmas from Italy!
Thanks Umberto you are correct, the wood will always be boss! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and New year 😃🪵👍
Very cool. I love the way the lid holds onto the tapered handle.
The shape of that honeypot is lovely!👏👏👏
beautiful honey pot, love it.
I thought it was gonna be a candleholder at first, turned out awesome!
amazing work with great results only thing i want to say is safety i have a metal lathe golden rule #1 no sleeves no jewlery no gloves or any thing that could get caught by the rotating stock or head stock of the machine
Catch your glove and your widow gets to turn off the lathe.
At least it would be quick.
Gloves and turning spindles are a bad idea.Please be careful
I have lost a finger by such an accident. Pls be careful!
That is true but the tool rest ur hands should be on the opposite side of your work and chances are nothing will happen but it is still a good rule of thumb
It's not about getting caught by the stock it's about getting caught in ribbons of metal shavings. You'll know that not all metals come off as pieces on a lathe, some metals create ribbons that are sharp as razors just as in drilling metals. Wood will always come off the same in a lathe no matter weather hard or soft wood. But you're right as far as working with metals in lathing, drilling etc, you don't wear gloves, long sleeve shirts unbuttoned or jewelery cause you can lose fingers or even limbs that way.
Beautiful honey jar❤
Beautiful honey pot & dipper.
New viewer here. Never created anything on a lathe before. It is so mesmerizing. The cup sounded so thin when you put it down.
Beautiful
So calming to watch and a beautiful object at the finish.
I can see what you mean by unexpected. You did well to salvage anything! At one point I thought you were going to have to turn away the whole log. But in the end you made excellent use of a piece of a species which is normally chipped or burnt. Credit to you as always for finding beauty and purpose in your chosen material. I love this channel.
Thank you so much Nigel! Your comment truly means a lot to me. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍
Gotta show some respect to the woodworkers. It's a blend of science and art and the world's richer for it.
A combination of skill and creativity. It's so cool to watch the results. Great video.
The sign of a true professional is when they hit a problem then work zround the problem but still make something amazingly beautiful
What a gorgeous vase you made.. splendid, absolutely splendid. You have an eye for beauty.
It's a honey pot.
That's a nice piece! Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Well done ! Especially the lead up to the culmination !

Very inventive project considering it was going to be a Christmas tree 🤔.
I love the walnut.
Hi Harry I was amazed at what you manged to make out of the wood considering it was being a pain,it has nice grain. I really like the honey dipper it is magnificent the lidded honey pot is gorgeous and ghe wood is lovely it's got nice grain. Well done you are marvellous as you always come up with something out of something people would of burnt., the finish touch really makes them shin.

I absolutely love it! This is by far one of your best pieces! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful work as always! Love your videos!
Beautiful 😍 !!!
Harry, I follow a number of wood turners but I have to say that you are right up there with the best. A man that can make something special out of an apparently ordinary piece of timber.
Thank you so much Stephen! Your comment truly means a lot to me. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍
What an exquisite piece. I was totally mesmerised. ❤
Thank you so much! What was your favourite part? 😁👍

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work with us!💥❤🙏

Super classy!! I particularly like the lighter coloured wood used as contrast for the finial. I’m sure the satisfaction of a beautiful piece, only makes the honey held within, that much sweeter!!!
Great work!!! 😃👍🐝🍯
Beautiful
Now that's a real honey pot. 🍯 Looks pretty sweet too.
Wow! Beautiful and inspiring 🍯
Thank you very much! 😁👍 Have you seen my new art and design channel yet? www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS/videos

Beautiful work mate the little honey pot was an excellent idea.
Well done. lovely.
Hermoso trabajo, original!!! 👏👏👏💖💖💖
I really enjoyed that mate, thanks for sharing your nifty little pot.
OH YES, I LOVE FRESH HONEY MIXED WITH A RANGE OF WOODWORKING CHEMICALS, GLUES AND VARNISHES.... I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE 'TASTE' .... AWESOME JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW
This is amazing work
He started woodturning,and the wood actually turned.This was so unexpected for me too.
I followed your work with great interest because I love these tutorials... but what makes me smile (if you allow me) is that you took a nice tree trunk to make a small honey tool... something comes to mind movie where someone like you had taken a huge tree trunk to make a single toothpick.
please smile and don't be offended because I admire your work and truly appreciate it
Clever home made honey jar!!!
Well done!
Thank you as always Doug! I hope you have a great Christmas! 😁👍
What a great video. More entertaining than anything on the TV. Fantastic
nádherná práca...klobúk dole...👋👌
Fantastic Work
Thank you so much Christine! What was your favourite part? 😁👍
That’s just awesome
Very nice work. I like how you left the forstner bit in chuck inside the pot for stability. Will remember this technique for future projects. Just subscribed....
Thanks for sharing
That is a nice Ruffin gouge 🤙🏽😍👍🏽
Thanks for watching Habeeb! Link to the roughing gouge is in the description if you are interested. Is this one of your favourites? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍
Impressive 👏
Nice honey jar. I really like it
I was impressed enough with the stick…but wait…there’s more. ;-)
Thank you so much, Matthew! I knew I couldn't just leave it at the dipper. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍
Amazing job🎉
Way cool!
I don’t think people realize the years of experienced skill you used to create this.
Wonderful.
I found a tree with bees nest inside, I took the nest to my workshop and ended up with, yes, you guessed it, a dining set, a table and six chairs.
Very beautiful set Harry and you did a stunning job turning it as well
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you so much as always! What was your favourite part? 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning You're welcome and I'd say the finished product with the finish showing how beautiful it come out
That was like chopping down a giant tree processing it and ending up with a toothpick
That is so cool.
Beautiful work!!!!!
Great decision. 👍 turned out lovely
Thank you so much! What was your favourite part? 😁👍
I had some pure honey 🍯 just 5 minutes before watching this ❤video WoW 🤩 what a coincidence 👍🏼great stuff
Sweeter than honey! Nice job.
so amazing!
Thank you very much!
Thanks goodness for your explanation. I was thinking you could have started with a thinner piece of material. I enjoy these videos because I sell the cutters, milling and turning tools, but I don't get to see them at work.
Very clever idea with the lid! Merry Christmas!
The best creative idea
I made some honey spoons as a introduction to using my lathe, so satisfying to do.
Very cool piece!
Hello and good evening. If you want to have fun with your fingers for a long time you shouldnt wear gloves while you are doing such a work.
Okay Karen.
My husband made furniture.and I helped.....we used a template to make table legs..chair spindles etc. so all would be alike..goggles are a must and always make sure to use dried wood.. use a light touch...my young sons made small projects which I still have today..
Nice for flower 😁
Отличная работа👍👍👍
Nice one!
Caught me by surprise too! Not surprised it was beautiful though.
