I've always been fascinating by those hypnotizing woodturning videos. We wanted to create our own lathe with a drill and a waterjet. It turned out better than I expected. I thought the baseball bat turned out perfect, its better than I could have done on a real lathe.
What should we do next? Let us know in the comments.

Lathes will always be one of the most intimidating machines to me. Most "lathe accidents" have an end result spreading across a hemisphere surrounding it, and there usually isn't a body to recover if things go really wrong.
I work with a lathe it is not incredibly dangerous. If use right and respect it don’t get comfortable with it
Worked around lathes all my life, I've been hurt but honestly having respect for it never seriously. I am scared of laser machines though, I admit that
Look up “Oilfield Driveshaft Accidents”. That’s pure nightmare fuels that makes some lathe accidents look like nothing
@@jaythatguyyouknow5135 the difference is that you could be just walking by a machine shop when a workpiece comes through the wall (or roof) and vibechecks you
I work with them and the only real scary times are when you have a big piece spinning fast. I run small parts at 3000 rpm with no worries all the time.
The more important question, how do I turn my lathe into a waterjet???
6:10 is that horizontal vertical video??? That's even worse than vertical video, makes me sick and gives horizontal vertical video syndrome!!!!!!
Put your water main into the lathe... then you'll figure it out from there
@Paradoxical Nightmare my guy actually gave a turorial
The wobble you were getting was from removing too much material at the end. Typically you would want to put the head of the bat toward the drive side so there is more meat and then start cutting at the handle end. That will leave the bat stiffer and provide more support while removing material.
All I needed today was a brief construction montage
Very same
Agreed
Rest In Peace edd
6:33 The contract literally just lists like every different type of meat. 👍
Someone found the easter egg. One bagillion dollars of meat
@@WaterjetChannel I want to sign that contract
Beat me to it. Had to pause and look at what the contract was for.
Definitely could've been for a left nut with this channel 😂
it's a bacon ipsum 😂
@@WaterjetChannel My spidey senses tell me this was a Mitchell comment.
That ad😂😂😂
What ad
6:06 is what he means
Dawn power wash dish spray?
@@Felix_Argyros then he should put a time stamp so people can understand easier
It was a good ad for sure
"... The video nobody was asking for..."
You are correct. I didn't search for this, but I'm enjoying it.
Man, I’m sitting here watching the brief construction montage thinking “wow, what an awesome way to use the water jet”... and then I realized that’s the main purpose of the water jet haha
„This is the video no one is asking for“ WROOONG sooo many people want this I am sure 😂
If so, then sooo many people are idiots.
@@timhofstetter5654 happy curious creative idiots
But did someone asked for it?
I want it, just didnt know I wanted it. Sounds gay lol
@1:08 Welp, guess there is no mistaking this for "Welding Channel"
Now that's some full pen if you ask me
Those were some $8 an hour welds lol.
The real miracle is that HF drill ran for 2+ hours!
With it being so close to the water it most likely cooled it down enough. But yea I'm surprised a drill was enough power to move that hard wood
HF tools are surprisingly good
@@Nicc93 - the required torque/power are more about the bearings and the waterjet than the mass of the wood itself
They won the HF lottery.
btw, I just bought a welder from them. Wish me luck...
@@GeneralChangFromDanang I would... but you almost certainly don't need it; that welder will probably be fine.
"Ha ha, a rookie, eh? A Swatter, my friend, is a Diamond City tradition. See it used to be that this whole place was a stadium. And two teams would meet and play a game called baseball. One team would beat the other team to death with things called Baseball Bats, and the best bats were called Swatters. True fact."
A man of culture I see
Baseball history never told better than Moe!
Love me some fallout
1:09 those are the best welds I've ever seen on RUclips
@slapdatpuck88 i have not. just looking through that channel, i don't see anything that interest me.
i mean, i'm pretty sure that this is a metal fabrication shop. there are probably more people there that are competent welders than not. although the welds look a little cold to me. they should have been welded flat, so no reason to not run it hot.
@@iamzid and for what it was being used for, it is plenty strong
Those are bad welds, but it's not like they're selling them.
@@fartsoundeffect5013 Bad welds*
I love how the waterjet was used to make parts to mod itself. Its like 3d printing 3d printer mods.
Or lifting pallets of forks with a forklift.
Give the guy who actually works at the company the bat!!
I agree.
They of course don't have to but I think they should.
That'll take some time
Finally someone using "copper" and "fingers" in the same sentence without it referring to police
Meyah! You'll never get me copper!
Triggerfingers coppers?
@@ChrisD__ hey, that's pretty good!
😂😂😂
@@Gterr1971 You sure you don't want us to get you copper?
Very cool idea, like that you guys never seem to run out of creative ideas for videos and most importantly are just having fun doing them. Great work!! 👍
Not gonna lie, you make a pretty damn persuasive sales-pitch for "The Copper Finger".
Cuz poop
I saw that product in a store a few days ago
All it needs is a bottle opener and you'll have the PERFECT TOOL
@@WaterjetChannel brilliant I bought it to supportt the guys with lots of kids to feed I have been ok my whole life with out it but you there are sometimes I wished I had something like this and would use my shirt as a barrier
I've just went to see how it cost and surprisingly 3,795$ or 36 payment of 105.42$ seriously? Is that a joke or what?
That add is perfection 😂
Also I’d love to see that just turn the bat a hypersonic speeds 😃
I feel like the end product will eventually split , due to re-introducing water to the wood from the the water jet. Wood obsorbes water unlike plastic, and metal. and you sealed it while wet.
I was wondering the same thing....maybe use metal instead of wood??????
@@ericwilliams7374 we have to know if the machine cuts a piece of metal that thick.
@@ericwilliams7374 Aluminum bats are hollow, so any bat they could make from metal would be ludicrously heavy.
Water and electricity
Always great together 😂
That ad is genius
It came to me one night when i couldn't sleep
It really is tho.
@@WaterjetChannel the link isn't loading
@@WaterjetChannel It perfectly encapsulates my germophobia about public bathrooms and monetizes it. Just brilliant
I like this youtube channel but this idea isn't original in any way, I've been seeing ads for the milspin covid key since like the beginning of quarantine and it's the same thing
Wow there, you actually used the waterjet for what's supposed to be used for almost a minute
I love how freaking messy the shop is, makes me feel better about mine! 👌🏼
good thing you guys know how to cut circles
Shoot... if i would have cut a circle it would have made a sphere... missed opportunity for sure
@@WaterjetChannel Wooden bowling ball, or bocci ball, or whatever Lawn Bowling is, anyways..
Wood bowling balls when?
That was very cool! Using a waterjet to make a bat, who woulda thunk? 😂
*thought
This grammar hurts me
Who'd a thunk it? Is the only acceptable way to speak in a shop setting. Lol
Bruv
This is utterly inspired, i cannot believe they do not use this for roughing out castings/forgings on those massive lathes. you just see them slowing using a ceramic cutting tool slowly taking it down to the desired shape.
0:00 so basically every video ;)
Love you guys
Do it with aluminum!!!!! Also that was the greatest commercial I’ve ever seen
I want to try with aluminum
You realize aluminum bats are hollow, right? I didn't think so. :-)
@@eingamel that is part of the funny bit
"haha that's a funny advertisement parody"
"But they do it themselves?"
"Holy bananas they actually selling copper fingers."
🍌🍌
When the other guy in the shop says "what's that, can I have that" you know you nailed it
I have never seen one being used before. Thank you for sharing this.
What amazing things water can do! Cool video, great work!
You just KNOW there's someone out there who's water jetted themselves a wooden dild before
pretty sure that's the default CNC sketch that loads when you boot the machine up the first time
I actually do not know that
Not sure what i'm most chocked about. You having that idea, or it actually being true.
Either way, weird mindset xD
rule 34, so no.
@@pmcKANE what's a dild? 🤔
That ad was flowlessly incorporated. Bravo.
Thats freaking awesome!!!
This channel is still under a million subs?! I don’t know why, but I assumed there were at least 3 million 🤦♂️
I assumed the same thing
@@WaterjetChannel There will be after this video!
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
Not a waste of time at all!! I enjoyed it! Thank you! It was pretty relaxing for me
I've been wanting to do this for ages guys!! thanks for doing this. I may have to have Dan make me one in the lab... Don't be too hard on Craig or David with that bat guys!
This old tony/ave/everyotherlathemaster: .... *thumbs up with a face of confusion.*
Could've just started on the other side, with the spin. (Edit: I guess that it would need a braking system though to limit spin speed.)
Finally found someone else that said to cut the other side... seems like common sense
The brake would be easy and better than the drill
Wow. Awesome tool
Great video and idea guys, thank you!
I enjoyed this. The wooden bat wasn't the only wood present.
Would it not have worked having the water jet going with the spin of the wood like I understand it would penetrate less
It would probably spin at warp speed and explode like the fidget spinners and skateboard wheels they blew up.
@@Woogoo336 if the wood wasn't so expensive (based on their comments at the end) then I'd say that would've made for fantastic content, honestly.
"We exploded a massive fucking chunk of solid wood with our water jet."
@@randomnpc445 $30 in wood $300+ in cutting time.
Thank you I’ve been trying to find out how to do this!
I have to say, this is the first time I've shared a video for the ad in the middle of it. That was hilarious.
you guys should turn this channel into Waterjet wood-turning cause wood turning channels pull a hella a lot of views
Great vid but why didn’t you guys flip the lathe so that it cut in the same direction as it span
Then it would just, spin. Like super incredibly fast and be a problem.
Because that tends to make the wood get all Explodey
Dr.J it wouldn’t cut anything then
Dr.J spun
It would be cool tho
A water jet is like the most versatile tool ever
Brilliant!
New challenge: full size petrified wood baseball bat 🙃
As a woodturner, this hurts my soal
Absolutely amazing. I struggle with a normal wood lathe. Awesome
I use that trick for machining foam, it's a pain in the butt on a regular lathe (too soft, it just warps all over the place as soon as the tool makes contact) so I turned a laser cutter into a lathe, same way they turned there waterjet into one, expect a bit less janky and a lot more effective. (the laser doesn't imply any force on the foam and melts straight trough it, even with relatively thick parts.)
it only works with foam tho, anything with a higher melting point and density and it does basically nothing.
That's pretty cool, I run waterjets for a living and have cut a ton of stuff but never thought of doing this
Try making one out of aluminium (aluminum).
That would take 19 hours
@@WaterjetChannel I'm glad I didn't suggest titanium! 😅
@@WaterjetChannel 19 hours or $2850 dollars that's an expensive bat! Plus wear and tear on the machine lets add another $200 to that. So $3000+ bat :)
@1:03 that bearing ''press' fit makes me puke
its not ideal
Ordered the copper finger. Great idea!
I didnt know I needed to see this but I would like to see more
Awesome DIY. Nice work guys!!!!
Great work
Just found this channel. I don't think I've even seen a water jet in person. I love it.
That is thinking out of the box. GREAT JOB!
I especially love the adequate [and highly appropriate] use of the Wilhelm Scream in the Copper Finger pitch.
Great video!
Combining two of my favorite things; the waterjet channel and lathes
Surprisingly it was fascinating to see
That advertisement was highly entertaining! 😂😎👍
The copper finger cutout was awesome!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally ! getting lathe.
That's a nice looking bat. Great job guys.
This video is amazing, and i want more
You guys are great.
Best commercial Ad I've ever saw (in the last two weeks of course )LOL
This is amazing
I like lathe comps so this is like a dream
Glad to see you have Benchmade quality!
Well done guys,WOW,imagine wat you guys can make from wood using the lathe system
I didn't ask for this but the result is super amusing. Kudos
Very nice Poo PSA!
way more fun than i expected!
That was a very creative use of a waterjet. Next time, leave the deep end cuts out until the very last minute. It will improve the finish and rigidity. Oh, and I think you forgot to factor in, 2 guys standing around for 2 hours into your bat cost. Thats waaaay more than a $300 bat. But it was worth it.
Holly cow, the most convincing promotion ever

This is all I wanted this week
You asked yourself "could I do it" instead of "should I do it" and that's what defines a true maker.
Finally. I asked for this vid back in 2018
I didn’t know I wanted this until now
That copper finger is a legit brilliant idea. Ordering one now...
Really cool
this was a great video idea
Whoa! The end result of that first bat was surprising and unexpected!!!
That was pretty amazing.
You guys did a good thing.
That was pretty damn cool ( new sub)
God, you made such a show out of just waterjet, that soooo epic.
your lads are crazy lol.. but i cant stop watching your vids !
Can someone explain cause I’m just curious. Do you work at a shop and use the water jet and run the channel on the side?
Next level
Amazing advertisement, immediately bought a copper finger. Hilarious. Nice work.
