I like your technical term of "squidging." It is the perfect word to describe what you do with the miliput. It's also fun to say! Adorable little project!
Thanks Diane, squidging is a highly technical term indeed ! Cheers, Jim
Awesome Job... just a reminder for everyone... NEVER EVER let the Mrs., watch over your shoulder... always turns in to an addition to the Honey-Do-List....
Thank you, glad you liked it. Cheers, Jim
Beautiful! We had a bar built in our house and I named it the Queen Bees & have bee things in there :) love this
Thanks Charlie, glad you like it. Cheers, Jim
I have to hand it to you Jim, another great idea you have there. Using the pen mandrel has endless possibilities. Thank you for sharing your technique...!
Thanks Jack, yes pen mandrels have lots of creative possibilities. Cheers, Jim
Thank you Jim for another great video. This is the first time I've understood how to use zero jaws. I think my local wood turning shop is going to get a visit soon.
Also, the Bumblebee is a fun project. I think Box wood is one of the finest woods to turn but it's becoming increasingly hard to obtain. This is good news in a sense as it's a superb wood for carving and is now in greater demand as the result of the ban on elephant ivory.
More videos please.
Alan.
Thank you Alan. The zero jaws are great, I use them a lot and it is another way of holding those scraps of wood we end up with. I really could do with another patriot chuck so that I can leave them permanently attached. They expand to 32mm and close down to approx 4mm, they would be great for model ship builders. I also use them for resizing dowels. As for Ivory, I agree, I think it is totally abhorrent that anyone could want to harm an elephant. There is still more that can be done to stop this evil trade. I have made a start on the knife project , thank you again.
Cheers
Jim
О! Так Вы еще и ювелир! Очень интересная работа! Благодарю!
Спасибо
i would be chuffed as hell to do that and what makes it better is most people would have thrown the used wood away. well done
Thank you John, it is always good to make use of scraps. Cheers, Jim
Top video as always, great little project and well explained many thanks for sharing
Thanks John, I'm gradually trying to improve my videos. Cheers, Jim
Nicely done, and a nice wrap-up at the end.
Thanks Brad, I am trying to improve my videos, so it is great to get your feedback. Cheers, Jim
love this one Jim.. great idea as always mate
Thanks Nick, much appreciated mate. Cheers, Jim
Nice job and a great turning idea.
Jim
Thanks Jim, glad you like it. Cheers, Jim
Great video, and seeing you making the end caps was very interesting. Also liked your explanation of the various tools/accessories at the end.
Cheers.
Andrew
Thank you Andrew, as I might have said in the video, I use my pen mandrel for many things but not pens. All the best, Jim
Great project Jim, those jaws look handy too, I have a set for small work holding...but they are knuckle scrapers!.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike, yes I would not be without my zero jaws, I use them for lots of things. They could do with their own dedicated chuck so I would not have to keep swapping jaws over ! Take care mate, Jim
Hi Jim !!
Great video and very well explained......Awesome !!
Take it easy.
Chris.
Thanks Chris, glad you liked it. Take care mate. Cheers, Jim
Nice little project Jim, good use of leftover wood,
Cheers,
Harry
Thanks Harry, it is a technique that has lots of possibilities. Cheers, Jim
Love them Jim, I will definitely be having a go at some light pulls, lovely little idea :)
Thanks Ian, loads of possible variations on this theme and I think most turners have a pen mandrel. Cheers, Jim
Great fun project yet again👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much Fifi , I was very pleased with the way these turned out. All the best, Jim
great video never thought to use my pen mandrill for Xmas decorations
Thanks Paul, I am uploading a video today or tomorrow showing yet another use for a pen mandrel. Cheers, Jim
Have a good day at Yandles Jim, wish I was going aswell. Bought my first lathe there some years ago.
Good little project Thanks
Thanks Tim, a quick and simple project this time. Cheers, Jim
Interesting video thanks for sharing. David.
Thanks David. Cheers, Jim
Awesome video !!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it. Cheers, Jim
Nice pulls!
Thanks Willem. All the best, Jim.
A good video Jim. I just watched this for a second or third time and I think it was the first video of yours I watched several years ago.
I tried the link you gave for the mandrel saver and it seems John Davis has closed permanently. Do you happen to have the brand name of the mandrel saver you used in this video? Thanks for your time.
Ron
Hi Ron, sorry for the late reply. Yes sadly John has retired. I think the mandrel saver was made by Planet, a great bit of kit and I wo7ld highly recommend one.
Cheers
Jim
I really like this one Jim. I like the use of imagination, instead of just using wooden pulls. I think my grandson would enjoy these on his pulls. Do you know if the Robert Sorby Zero Jaws will fit a Nova Super Nova 2 chuck or a Nova G3 chuck? I would love to use them on one of my chucks. Thanks for your time, and again I enjoyed the video very much! Ron
Thank you Ron. I use my pen mandrel for lots of things but not pens ! I love my Robert Sorby Zero jaws, you will see them in several of my videos, including my latest one. I'm sorry but I have no experience of the Nova chucks, so could not tell you if they fit or not. You could try googling it or better still call a supplier who stocks both. Thanks for watching.
All the best
Jim.
Bee-autiful! ... Sorry.
Thanks Honey, sorry.
interesting Jim
Thanks David. Cheers, Jim
