Construction sites are a good place. Not far, there was a wooded area of about two acres that was cleared of all trees. Chipped and burned. Even had a blower system on a gas engine to inject air into the fire.
@@RcWoodturning How difficult is learning to make things on a lathe? I did a little bit in high school in wood shop, but the most I ever made was a small pen-sized baseball bat. We weren't allowed to make full sized bats because of previous hazing incidents. Unfortunately because everybody in the class wanted to spend basically all of their time on the lathe, I got maybe 20 minutes over the course of a day or two.
Yes, food safe finish would be better. Friction polish will come off in the items being ground with first use. Don’t ask how I know this! I now use walnut oil. Takes a long time to cure, but food safe.
Ya I thought about it after I finished it. I'll just sand it again and use oil. I haven't tried walnut oil and been wanting to. So this will be my chance.
I see that you're not using your yellow harbor freight lathe! Which one is this? Again, huge thanks for your videos. I did learn a lot from your videos! - I like your little yellow sander!
Thank you! I still have the yellow one. This one is a shop fox. The shop fox is much quieter. That's the main reason I'm using it. I got the sander from Amazon. It's a foam palm sander. 2 inch diameter. Thank you for watching!
This wood is cherry. It isn't green, but was wet from rain. I use a bag filled with wood shavings to put the project in. That slows down the drying to prevent cracks.
That’s lovely. I do like to watch the delicate work you do with the gouge and skew chisel. I have mentioned it before but do you follow left handed turner Jim Sprague of Sprague Woodturning working outboard on his lathe with reverse threads? Keep up the good work 🌞
Been "addicted" to your videos, using limbs and twigs. Never saw a Jacobs chuck with the spur in the chuck which is in the headstock? Why do you do this?
@@knothead5 I'm experimenting with ways to hold the spur drive without removing the chuck. It's a work in progress. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Hi. As a new turner I can not visually identify the tools you use. Will you please name them? Thanks. I enjoy your videos very much. You are an inspiration.
I usually don't show a lot of it on camara. People find it boring. I sand everything from 80 to 400 grit. Unless I use a skew. Then I will start with 150 or 180 grit.

Nice mortar and pastel, Rus. That grain is really nice also. Thanks for the idea....Dan
Thanks Dan!
Trying to expand my ideas.
Great project. I need to make one for home and several to sell. Well done buddy!
Thank you Doug!
That's the first one I've turned. I'll be making several for my craft booth.
Thanks for watching!
very cute -- I like it
Thank you Lynda!
I appreciate you watching!
Very nice.
You must have great access to wood.
Thank you!
I just grab wood where ever I can find it. Lots of forest area around here.
Thanks for watching!

Many woodturners have FOG wood= found on ground. Some beautiful wood turnings have started as firewood.
Very nice love your videos
Thank you Tony!
I appreciate you watching!
@@RcWoodturning no problem I get a lot of ideas from you keep putting videos out you have a lot of great ideas
@@tonyzola9396Thanks! I'll do my best
Another episode of why didn't I think of that. Beautiful result ! 👍👍
@@TramJizzle Thank you!
Nice!! I’ve wanted to learn how to do this my entire life.
There's no time like the present.
Thanks for watching!

Probably the biggest thing is learning how to use the tools. Carbide tools are very beginner friendly.
Lovely Job i wondered where you were going with this one .
Thank you!
Always appreciate you watching!

I assume that wood is still green. How do you keep it from cracking after it dries? What type of wood is it?
This wood is cherry. It isn't green, but was wet from rain. I use a bag filled with wood shavings to put the project in. That slows down the drying to prevent cracks.
That’s lovely. I do like to watch the delicate work you do with the gouge and skew chisel. I have mentioned it before but do you follow left handed turner Jim Sprague of Sprague Woodturning working outboard on his lathe with reverse threads? Keep up the good work 🌞
Thanks Ray!
Ya, I know of his channel but I don't watch you tube very much.
@@RcWoodturning And I watch too much RUclips and wonder why I get little done 🌞

I appreciate that!
This video explains the tools I use.

Thank you. Going there now.
Nice one. Where did you get that screw-chuck insert? I've never seen one of those before.
Thanks Martin!
It came with the black wen chuck that I got.
I was curious about that as well.
Do you have a link for the "worm" insert you use with your chuck?
I don't have a link to just the worm screw. It came with a chuck I bought.
Why was there smoke coming off of the inside cuts while you were hollowing out the bowl? I’ve never seen that happen before.
The wood was wet from rain. That was steam created from heat off the tool.
@@RcWoodturning thanks….. had me wondering :)
Out of curiosity, how much would one get for these at a craft show?
I look at things differently. I'm not in for a lot of profit. I would sell it for around 10 bucks but you can probably get more.
I'm wondering why you don't sand?
I usually don't show a lot of it on camara. People find it boring. I sand everything from 80 to 400 grit. Unless I use a skew. Then I will start with 150 or 180 grit.
Hey @alonzovillarreal4666, are you serious? your whole life? George you have some oddball followers.
Appreciate you watching another video!
Every view counts! 👍
