Hand woodturning Drawer Knobs- 2 different metods

- This video shows two of the many methods of turning drawer knobs, one with a chuck and one between centres. The first knob is a copy to repair a chest of drawers while the second is a standard type, both are compared for accuracy at the end of each demo.

Excellent. Everytime I watch one of your video's I stop watching youtube and go to the shop to practice. You are the man.
Thanks Bill for your kind comments, keep practicing
I turned all the drawer pulls for my house, out of as many different woods as I could. I made a screw chuck with the same mounting screws I used for them, and epoxied that into a mandrill. Not as consistent as you are, but it was fun...
A good solution 👍
Steve I've been practicing with the skew as you've been an inspiration and I've learned a lot and actually getting the hang of it. Thank you for taking the time to make there videos, they're invaluable. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. Hope all is well in the UK. Would like to visit there someday!
Thank you it’s nice to know my videos have helped. Merry Christmas
Another "pleasure to watch" video Steve.
Take care
Mike
Always a pleasure to watch a professional at work :-)
Thank You
Amazes me every time. Love your videos
Thank you Adam
Neat, thank you demonstrating each tool and order of approach , much appreciated and wets the appetite to get on my new acquisition too!
Thanks
Thank you for your comments
I still would be afraid. I did a lot of things in my line of work (I was a welder) that people said I was crazy for doing. It just amazes me to watch you turn. I am 71 and have been turning for about a year. Some things you do I will try and some I will never try. Just keep on posting videos.
That’s the best way do what your comfortable with.
Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks Steve :) ॐ

first time watching and i am impressed
Thank you
Simply amazing!
Thank you
i always admire your skills !! thanks fro sharing my friend !!
Thank you for your comment
You make it look so easy. AND IM SURE ITS NOT. Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you
Holy crap. You do things with a skew that I would never have dreamt of doing. I can just barely use mine for simple curves. Bringing a piece into round with the skew? No way! I might have to experiment. With goggles on for sure. And maybe gloves.
Thank you Jeremy
Excellent work. I've enjoyed following you and seeing the improvement in filming techniques. Not sure when you added the white paper background but it is superb for seeing detail clearly. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Brian, this was the first time for the background but it certainly helped
Amazing...but I'm not sure if that is a compliment because my mother always said that I was easily amazed. ;-) Thanks for posting.
Thank you Gil
A relatively simple task, but done with ease and showing years of experience. I still wonder abo7t your brief and simple use of abrasives, but am also impressed to see it is just plain and does what is needed as the skew gives such a clean finish.
Thank you Phil, yes little sanding is required when a good surface is achieved with the tool.
Amazing, good eye
Thanks Johnny
thanks Steve
A pleasure, thank you for commenting
Very similar handle!
Thanks
SUPERB! Do you remember what type wood you used? The knobs seemed to turn with great ease; however, I suspect that the sharpness of your tools contributed mostly to that. Thanks and keep up the sterling work!
Thank you, The first was Sapele and the second Chestnut.
Nice
Thank you
can you make a video of you making a lidded box or a bowl of some sort?
Good 🙏
Thank you
Thought I was fairly good with the skew, now I feel humbled. I need to practice more! Question: did you drill the screw holes freehand after turning? I like to use a screw to mount the blank, same size as what will be holding the knob to the drawer but longer, in a turned block held in the chuck.
Thank you, I don’t drill them the customer does that. I don’t know the size of screw they use.
I just made my first knob on my family lathe but it took me ages to do as i wasnt sure which lathe tools best to use.. can u tell me which lathe tools you used here..your draw knobs look amazing..
Thank you Matt, I used 1” Skew, 1/2” spindle gouge and parting tools
Awesome thx i need to make 2 more knobs so hopefully knowing which tools to use will be easier and quicker
Very nice, the sizing gauges you use on your projects, did you make them yourself? I know the one is made from wood, are the others made from steel, aluminum, or tempered hard board. Great job of duplicating the knobs!
Thank you Tarry, yes I make them myself from steel scrap from the fabriction workshop nextdoor
I was wondering the same thing. Is this just soft steel that you cut a notch into of the desired dimension or is there more to it than that, maybe making sure to file a bur?
I've used a box end wrench (spanner) that I press into the work as I cut with a beading tool until the wrench slips over. It seems your way may be better because your tool actually cuts a bit.
I guess your tool goes into a box as a pattern for future production work?
It just soft steel with a notch as you guessed.
How in the world do you keep from breaking something when you put a piece of wood in the lathe with it running? No way would I ever try that.
It’s something, as a production turner, I do all the time. It is not difficult. My spikes have a slightly longer point than normal, you put the blank in just on the point bring up the tailstock then before it grips the spikes let go of the blank, it is then only held on the two points. Then wind up and it grips.
