wood turning 100 bucks an hour with scrap 2x6

- Turn scrap 2x6's into 100 bucks an hour. In this new woodturning video I am showing how you can take scrap 2x6's and make $100 per hour. I usually spend 2 hours to make 8 of these to take to the craft show and usually sell out of them. The cost of materials is about $15.00 and I sell them for 45 to 50 dollars each. They sell online for up to $80.00 each. They have a couple different names. They are called table lamps, or Edison lamps, and sometimes steam punk lamps. links below for materials.
I hope you enjoy this new wood turning video. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate all of you! I'm almost done with the video of my friction polish. I promise it will post soon. Thank you for being patient with me.
I would love how to do this where did you learn how to use a lath and how do you make stuff
also where did you get your lath
@@robertbabb5111 I taught myself by watching RUclips videos.
@@robertbabb5111 One lathe is from harbor freight tools. The other I got from Facebook market place.

I've learned more from your videos than any other 5 combined. No long winded intros, lame humor or incessant commentary, just down to business with great skill and creativity. Thanks for posting !! 👍👍
@@TramJizzle Thank you! I appreciate that! I know some videos are hard to watch. I'm glad my videos are helpful.
What would make that lamp even better would be to drill a hole in the side of the base and take the cord in that way and take the cord up through the center.
@@HealthyHearts A lot of people do it that way. Some have on and off switches as well. But then your getting into the $100 price range.
I love all the things you do with 2 x matl. Usually these are too smal for most projects, but now useful. Great video Rus, see you next time....Dan
@@Danseadorf Thank you Dan! I'm glad you enjoy them! I appreciate you watching!
My market people would say it is great work, however it is doubtful that they will fork over that kind of money.
I will however try to add a few pieces of burnt wood on my table and see the reaction.
You have to have a market for rustic decor to be successful in this kind of market. The trend in my market is minimal living with natural wood crafts. If you don't have that it's hard to sell these kinds of products. The good news is people are trending to simpler ways of life so this type of products is trending up. My hope is that is the case in your area too.
MARVELOUS ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Nice job - but I would need to make/sell a bunch of these. Components aside, I just don’t turn fast enough and the market for these where I live just isn’t strong enough. Well done and thanks.
Thank you!
Hello. I have a question. I am new o lathe turning and ordered 4x4 red pine. it came in today and it is very green. should I let it dry out before using it and if so, for how long. Thank you
@@Jimmolter761 It would be best to let it dry. Make sure the ends are sealed to minimize cracking. Depending how green it is, I would say at least 6 months.
@@RcWoodturning Thank you
I really like the videos! I have a question about the blow torch. Using the blow torch that close to all the wood shavings seems a little dangerous to me. Is that not a fire hazard? Not sure how flammable they would be to the torch haha
Yes you have to be careful when doing that. I try to clean around the area first. Always have a way to put out a fire. When I use the torch I make sure I will be in the shop at least 15 minutes or more afterward. That way I'm there if anything flares up.
...I'll bet when you got the idea for this, a light went off in your head...
Quick and easy...👍...always looking forward to what you come up with next...
Matt
@@_zhawkeye_9808 Ya, that's what happened, but I had to flip the switch.
Always appreciate you watching!
Great vid, however on your links to the "chuck jaws" takes you to the chuck and not the jaws. Will you please correct the link, as I do want to order a set of the 2.75 jaws. Will they work on my Record Power chuck?
@@dangoedeke2902 Thanks! I thought I fixed that link, but apparently not. Those jaws are for wen chucks so I don't know if they're interchangeable.
See if this link works.

Um, for any videos that don't state what is being made, I just skip everything and only watch the last 2 minutes to see if I want to make it. Saves me precious time! I much prefer to choose what to watch rather than having to watch something with no description about the end product. Needs a dome over it, perhaps?
@@sk13ppy That would defeat the purpose. The decorative bulb is the main point of the design. Also you could skip the video and read the description. All the info is there.
@sk13ppy First : watching a Woodturning Video is not a waste of time , Second : ever thought about reading the Description ? 🙄 Making a Video is a lot of Work you cant see, so please don’t comment that infantile. If you don’t want to write some nice Comment, do not comment .@
Nice Video, never thought of making some of those.
@@bluediabolo1 Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
It’s says in the title he’s making $100 an hour.😂
Verynice. I am interested in the worm screw that fits the chuck jaws. What make & who supplies them please.
@@CraigMackey222 Thank you! The worm screw is made by wen. It came with a chuck I bought. I saw they have it listed separately on their website. I'll check and see if I can find it again.
Thanks for watching!

@@RcWoodturning thankyou
I like it! Simple, cute & useful -- nice idea. Thank you
@@lyndaowen2154 Thanks Lynda!
I appreciate you watching!
$150 per hour IF you find a consistent buyer. Maybe in your area but not in mine. I only wish.
@@SteveDavis-pz9ou you might try selling online. I saw they sell for $80.00
And someone else will sell them for $22.50
@flatlandAutoSales Isn't that how it always is?
@@RcWoodturning yup
Me to there friend
Wow! So cool!! Thanks for sharing this.
@@andrewh3730 Thank you! Glad you like it!
Thanks for watching!
That looks fun. Might make one
They're pretty easy. Enjoy!
Nice work. I see you're from the same area as me. I live in Yelm and work on JBLM.
I hate to ask but...i have an older Craftsman lathe i haven't used yet. My head stock and tail stock are slightly off from one another. Is that an issue as i see people using wood that isnt symmetrical when they start their project.
@@douglashaner6802 Yes it can cause problems with alignment. It depends on the type of projects you do. Most lathes can be adjusted somewhat. Make sure you check for any build up of dirt or rust on surfaces. That could cause things to be out of alignment.
Great use of “scrap”. Well done.
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound Thank you Doug!
Nice idea but wouldn’t sell for much here
That's to bad. They were popular at my last show.
Thanks for watching!
Nice lamp
Thank you!
I'm glad you like it!
How do you think that's forth 100 dollars.
@@jimruby58 I never said it was 100 dollars.
Cool use of construction scraps! You could cut the neck off a dark colored wine bottle and make a colorful shade for it, it'd probably up the resale value 100%!
Interesting project 👍
@@naturaIIydifferent Thank you! That's a great idea.
Nice one! Which lathe do you work on?
@@jasenlakic5033Thanks! It's a shop fox W1752.
What country are you in? I do woodturning as well and I do like your videos and support your channel. My question to you is where do you sell your creations? I just don’t see any of them selling in my neck of the woods nor on Etsy or eBay much less local fairs.
@@6xflowerranch890 Thank you! I'm in the Pacific Northwest, U.S. I sell at local craft shows. Most of the time I'm the only one selling these types of items at the fairs. I don't do as many as I used to.
@@RcWoodturning ….good for you. I’m in Texas and people don’t understand the beauty of these items so I was highly discouraged to sell my creations. They don’t understand that they will own a one of kind and that no one on this earth has another just like it. I still make them, especially around this time of year I start making stuff to gift for the holidays to family, coworkers , friends and kids teachers. That’s about it. Anyways good luck with everything you make. Just know that I appreciate you and your content. Best wishes all the way from the lone star state.
@@6xflowerranch890 I'm sorry to hear that. I've never sold anywhere but around here. I know a lot of people sell on etsy and eBay. You have to know S.E.O pretty good to get your stuff found online. Also amazon has a handmade section you could look into. If you decide to go one of those routes send me the URL to it and I'd be happy to post it in my video description to help you out.
I appreciate your support on my channel.

@@gabriell1524 I was hungry after I finished it. Maybe that's why.
Very nice
Thank you!
Very quick and impressive. What type of lathe do you use ?
@@richardstone3339 Thank you!
This video was with my shop fox lathe. It's a W1752. I upgraded it to a variable speed motor.
A lighted pocket change tray? You can make 4 an hour but can you sell 4 an hour?
My price is based on how long it takes to make it.
I'm curious why you're working on the back side of the lathe while it's running in the forward direction?
@@RandallLucas-t3l I'm left handed. I work on both sides.
Great idea! Where did you get that metal cap?
@@petwog Thank you! There are links in the description of the parts I used.
@@RcWoodturning I've looked but the lamp fixture kits don't have that part. I wouldn't even know what to call it.
@petwog This is the kit I used.

Nice looking project for sure, but for me to make $100/hr with these, I would have to sell each one for $300 at the rate I can work...
@@starhawke380 😂😂
I wouldn’t want to depend on little lamps as a basis for my livelihood.
@@MrRod4000 Ya, don't put all your eggs in 1 basket. As long as they keep selling I'll keep making them. I don't do this for a living anymore. It's all fun now.
Needs a shade.
@@40billwaugh YA, that would defeat the purpose.
You would have to make an sell 5 of them at $ 20. Each, to make $ 100 I’ve turned for 50 years friend

I thought it was going to be an ashtray.
That's on my list
You mean you can make 8 per hour?? Wow.
@@johnrains8409 No, 4 per hour.
Scrap 2x6 and equipment that almost no one has.
@@ronaldjennings9221 Unfortunately, this, like everything else requires some investment. More time than money. So that's good news.
On all these kinds of videos there someone is crying about the equipment used. Use a little ingenuity. People used to make stuff like this with simple hand tools. Save a bit of money, you can buy used equipment for reasonable prices. Shoot, you can get a wood lathe that is 80 years old that will do 90% what his modern lathe will do. You just gotta want it.
You ok bro? That heavy breathing is concerning me
Must have missed that. I try to edit that out. I'm good.
Click bait title. Sad
@@arboristBlairGlenn not if it's true.
Dont you have to have an ok from United Labroratories to sell electric lamps?
Never heard of that. I don't know what that is.
Sorry I meant Underwriter Laboratories.
I would have to look into that. Don't know anything about that.
The lamp hardware I use is UL rated. That's all that is required.
@@RcWoodturning Thanks for responding. If I can ask, where did you get your information from? Im not saying your wrong but I'd like to make a lamp to sell and I want to make sure it doesnt need to be UL certified or listed.
4 x $15.00 is $60.00, not $100.00
@@AmyAnderson-fields You must not have paid attention. The profit is 25.00 each x 4
&100 per hour X 8 hrs a day = $800 per day = $16,000 per month x 12 = $192,000 per year. WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MAKING RUclips VIDEOS? NEVER MIND, I AM GOING TO TAKE YOUR IDEA AND PAY OFF MY HOUSE.
I love sharing my ideas. Have fun.
Too bizarre
@@WadeSuffell creativity is an acquired taste
@@RcWoodturning and you'll be aquiring lots
@WadeSuffell Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement.
$15 for materials? Overpaying. And as far as $100 an hour, personally I would not buy one, but if I did would not pay more than a buck.
@@ThFitz for a buck you wouldn't be able to buy one. I have a picture of it I would consider selling for a buck.
