Love your videos, brother! I've been following you for a long time and I am glad you've never stopped making videos. You have a lot to offer the beginning turner and even intermediate and pros I'd say. I turn full time and I have learned some neat tips and tricks from you! Keep it up!
Only been turning for about 8 months and I enjoy watching your videos. Very educational and in depth and I don’t feel like I’m getting bored watching them. Keep up the great work look forward to learning a lot more from you!!
Thanks Shawn, I've listened to a fair amount of the content of your video's, but I so enjoy your presentation and conversational tone - and honest interest in communicating with us - that I find myself engrossed suddenly for 60 minutes. Good work.
Wow... the acorn nut didn't fall far from the oak tree - you look just like a younger version of your dad. It's great to see you working so well together, you are very fortunate to have such a wonderful relationship. Really enjoying the videos, I'm picking up so many pointers and it helps lessen the turning learning curve. Thank you, and keep the videos coming!
If I didn't know any better, I would say I'm catching some cajun in your Dad's accent! Awesome video Shawn - I love your content and learn so much every time I watch.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos! I actually have no space and am not really interested in using a lathe, but I enjoy watching these videos anyway. I think the best part is seeing you interact with your dad and hearing his feedback/opinions.
So got a lathe for xmass, and I'm learning, but it was nice of the local council to trim the branches on the trees in my local play park, they left the wood, so much nice wood... I nowe have a fair amount of free practice wood to play with :D
50:24 Vacuum chuck. IMO, they are extremely niche and light duty. Also fiddly to set up. I've used them a few times to touch up finished bowls and things where there isn't anything to hold onto without damaging the finish.
Great info and much appreciated. Audio was much better than last live video so I think sharing AirPods worked well. Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
??When is your next livestream ? GMT and date please. I live in New Zealand 55yrs old, descended from builders. carpenters, engineers. Ive picked up a few basic skills from watching family in the past, but tech or manual training wasnt available in our schools for girls, back in my day. Ive done a basic skills course at tech college a few years ago. that didnt include any lathe work. Then I acquired an old lathe that has been put aside since I took it for a 5hr drive to get a wee motor and belt for it, with help from 80yr old uncle. A year or so later I bought a set of chisels/gouges at auction. For the day when Im ready to have a go. Since discovering your channel a few days ago, on my daughters bfs laptop ... Ive been binge watching your content -- blimmin brilliant! This is exactly what I needed to have a try. I am looking forward to getting back to my workshop and after making the french doors for my cottage there (at Sons property)... Im keen to rewatch Shawn and Dad to start turning some of the trees we cleared from our building sites. all the best, thanks for being soo thorough, Suz p.s. I will join up when back there too (no interwebby connection atm lol)
Thanks Shawn! Great videos. Hope you get some penneys from youtube. Not quite sure about hammering bearings.... But something tells me that I should avoid it, if possible. Kind regards from Argentina.
On the subject of handles, I've seen someone that has the tool steel cut double ended and they use the Robust collet system. For the pressure on the head-stock bearings, I wonder if they ever considered tapered. It probably really doesn't matter. Why is "How to Install a Hog Wire Fence - DIY Network" in this playlist?! Looking forward to future videos
?????The video was good. I think when you demonstrate soon many of the questions will likely be cleared up. I think I would like to see more on sharpening and the set up for sharpening? Sharpening tools are the only way to go when wood working....I never had good results with dull tools. Can you also talk more about using soft woods for learning the basics on?
Bearing guy here.... the ball bearings in the lathe are ball bearings.... the rule of thumb is that ball bearings will handle thrust (side) loads at half the rate of the radial load. In other words, if a bearing will handle 500 lbs of radial load it will take 250 lbs of thrust load. You are not likely to overload the bearing by pressing the tail stock into the head stock.
Watch all your videos even though I am not a woodworker. I find them very interesting. I do use lathe, bandsaw and belt sander for shaping wooden fish lures.
Hi there, I do a fair bit of leather work, you are looking at needing to stitch the velcro onto the leather, and you would likely use a bit of rubber cement to hold it in place while you stitch.
As a new turner, Could you show me the difference between a spindle gouge and a bowl gouge. My favorite bowl gouge is a 3/8 " nothing else seems to cut as well thanks. Dave
I use 2 - 5/8 Wide flute bowl gouges . One with a 40/40 grind (bottom Bowl) and one with Irish grind for outside the bowl work. The more metal, less vibration.
Look end-on at the grind end, plus the degree of bevel.. a spindle gouge will have a rather shallow flute, usually - sort of the shape of a small bowl... and would typically have a steeper bevel such as 30 to 40 degrees and a shallow heel (especially if it is a detail gouge) .. a Bowl gouge on the other hand will have a very deep notched flute usually either V-shaped or U-shaped with flat or parabolic (rounded) sides and a steeper bevel angle (anywhere from 40 to 60 degrees can be common) and quite thick and "meaty" sides (3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness commonly on my 1/2" bowl gouge) and wide thick bevel.. if your 3/8 gouge is your best cutter, I'd examine your other tools for sharpness... and/or learn to profile and sharpen them... my best cutters are also my sharpest ones..
Lathe headstock bearings are a combination type of bearing that takes both lateral and rotational loadings. Usually the size of the spindle (1in vs 1 1/4in) and the swing determines the size of the bearings used. Also Jet/Powermatic use 3 bearings in their headstocks instead of the usual two in the smaller lathes. The Professional manufacturers use much heavier, industrial grade bearings that usually have a life guarantee and sometimes are a cartridge type of design like your Oneway. I have replaced the bearings on a Powermatic 2014 and it is NOT fun and I don't recommend doing it unless one has previous mechanical experience. It takes a LOT of pressure over a long period of time to wear out a set of bearings. Unless of course you are turning professionally on a smaller lathe like the Jet shown in the video. I upgraded my lathe to a Jet 1842, and the number one reason was the full size headstock bearings that Jet uses on that lathe. And there are 3 of them, not two as in other lathes in that price range.
You could try contact cement for the leather and velcro. Leather workers use contact cement all the time but im unsure how it will do with the friction heat. It would need tested.
Regarding ball bearings and side loads. The bearings used in jet/rikon basic level lathes are suitable for combined radial(spinning)loads and generous thrust(side) loads. The bearings have thrust capacity due to the machined depth of the grooves. deeper grooves mean higher capacity, so in higher level (Eg powermatic) machines with larger capacities they use “deep groove” bearing styles in a back to back mounting to cope with heavy loads. Ya get what ya pay for.
I suffered a stroke on the 22nd May 2019 ... & I’m doing leather work as rehab for my right hand. I’m interested in doing some woodwork, but I have no skills. am also a veteran of the Rhodesian Army... I was shot in the knee in action in 1976. I I now live in Melbourne Australia. Wish you well in Texas.
There are a fair few mens shed type places in Melbourne mate, have a google for one near your specific suburb. There are also some really nice woodworking schools down there, you're gonna be spoilt for choice I reckon!
Wow is there actually someone breaking in and wood turning in the middle of the night, that's nuts, not enough wood turners were I live to imagine that.
To put a green patina on copper this recipe will do the job. 8oz copper sulfate 4oz amminium chloride 1oz zinc chloride 4oz salt 2oz acetic acid 1 gallon water 1oz glycerin This is the same formula Tiffany used to patina Copper

Didn't get a chance to watch this live as it was 2am in Ireland so just had a look now. Was very informative as always thanks Sean.
Thanks!
Thank You

Great presentation style - doesn’t feel like a lesson, more like a buddy ‘showing you the ropes’. Cheers, Fin (PS: audio sounded good to me 👍)

Thanks Shawn. Glad you are all ok in Texas.
If you are doing some "super tuning" video, could you do one for the planer/ thicknesser?
Thanks Shawn!
Great videos. Hope you get some penneys from youtube.

Im am Wilhelm Jonker from south Africa many thousands of miles away. do you have a video that explains how to make chair legs the same
Kidak13. Have you ever used a convection oven to kiln dry your wood ! Can you share your knowledge about it.
How long does it take you to complete a top? Thx.
Great info, Thank you!!
Wow is there actually someone breaking in and wood turning in the middle of the night, that's nuts, not enough wood turners were I live to imagine that.
My friend he was joking!
What angle for a Nova Chuck for bowl turning?
I don't understand the question.
@@wortheffort Perhaps he meant the dovetail jaws angle.
