    Great to see a man with a mask. I spent 30 years using farm and garden machinery breathing in exhaust fumes on a daily basis, by the age of 45 I developed a condition known a multiple chemical sensitivity and I am no longer able to use or be in the vicinity of petrol or diesel machinery.
    I always wore ear and eye protection, but now I realize that protection from exhaust emissions is just as important.. I urge anyone using any style of machine to follow Paul's example and wear a mask !!

    I built myself a pole lathe this summer and have had a lot of fun with it. I do need to invest in a gouge or two though, as the only tools I have so far are skews that I made out of an old file.

    Good video, as always. Little things like this are one of the most satisfying things about having a lathe; you can quickly turn out a replacement for a broken part or add a little flourish to something.
    When turning out a spindle to a specific diameter, I find it very useful to alter my eyeline so the edge of the workpiece lines up with one of the parallel lines of my lathe bed once I've got that initial bit of correct diameter. That way you can easily see whether your spindle is straight & even, without worrying about damaging it by going back & forth with the calliper, plus it saves time & lets you keep both hands on the tool.

    Very nice, Paul. I noticed you made sure to keep your sleeves away from the lathe as well. I really like that 3/8 wrench tip too.

    • @harlowchandlerjr.6371
      @harlowchandlerjr.6371 5 лет назад +1

      One can find instructions online for grinding an open end wrench to cut a tenon to a precise size in a manner similar to how Paul used the wrench as a gauge. It's a pretty well known technique, and I'm sure Paul knows about it. I've ground a few old wrenches in different sizes and use them to cut tenons quickly when making many knobs. But you can't count on the tenon's matching a drilled hole, so test first if you try it.

    My old lathe I must use the tail stock, there's no other chucking options but hey, it was free so I'm not complaining. I still can turn handles, just have some stock to remove on both ends.

    Fabric/cloth towels and rags not exactly safe with high torque spinning tools. A bit of paper roll (paper towel) is much safer. Cloth can grab and take your fingers with it as it wraps around the spinning piece.

    Very nicely done. You used a water based finish on top of an oil based finish. I thought that when using two finishes they should be either both oil based or both water based for compatibility. Would you please comment?

    • @davidjohnston1971
      @davidjohnston1971 5 лет назад +2

      Shellac is not oiled based. It's solvent based. You dissolve shellac flakes in denatured alcohol. Apply the finish, the alcohol evaporates off leaving behind the shellac.

    • @harlowchandlerjr.6371
      @harlowchandlerjr.6371 5 лет назад

      To add just a bit to David Johnston's reply, the shellac should be dewaxed if you are using a water borne finish over it. It's probably easiest to buy a premixed, dewaxed shellac for what Paul is doing, though there's certainly a place for preparing your own.

    Quite unrelated but I recently bought an old Stanley No. 4 and when comparing it to my other Stanley No. 4 this one is 5/16 inch shorter, measuring 9 3/8 instead of 9 3/4 as I believe is the usual length. The mouth sits a little bit further back on the sole and the wings are thicker and with quite sharp corners and completely flat tops. The sole is a fair bit thinner, which could of course be down to wear and grinding, but otherwise it looks exactly the same as my other Stanley No. 4. Is it common to have such big variation within what is technically the same plane? - it just happens to be the exact same length of my Stanley No. 3, so it seems odd to me, but there is no mistaking the #4 on the toe of the newly purchased plane. Any ideas?

    I have found that steel wool is VERY dangerous to use on a lathe. In a limited fashion, as used in this capacity, you can get away with it, but if you use it for an extended period, it has a tendency to unravel and wrap itself around the workpiece. In addition to making your heart skip several beats, it can take your fingers with it, if you're not quick enough. I tend to avoid it altogether.

    • @MyChevySonic
      @MyChevySonic 5 лет назад +1

      I think really fine steel wool like he was using should be fine. If that's still too worrisome, you can probably use a 3m scratch pad.

    • @nightcatarts
      @nightcatarts 5 лет назад +1

      I stopped using it because it can leave tiny bits of wire stuck in the finish & those can rust over time. Instead, I switched to AbraNet (I think that's the name) abrasive mesh. It's sort of like netting with an abrasive coat on it & it's brilliant for applying wet finishes & waxes. It starts of biting quite hard but quickly wears down, so saves time on moving up through grits as you would with sandpaper too. I save up fully worn ones for applying a little oil & polishing it up in one step.

      I think it's made by trend, but you need strong neck muscles because it is quite heavy. I'm used to it and use it infrequently for turning; perhaps consider a different maker with belt-held battery pack to the filter.

Thanks again Paul.

    Your mask/hood is excellent, but as I am sure you know, the most dangerous particles that will go deep into the lungs will hang in the air for a very long time. As soon as you took off that hood you started breathing the most dangerous dust. You probably have other air filtration, but you might consider alerting your viewers that unless there is a sophisticated system, the air is just as full of the really harmful particles as it was when you were turning, and will be for the rest of the day.

    • @Paul.Sellers
      @Paul.Sellers  5 лет назад +3

      Thank you for raising concern. Whereas health and safety is indeed highly important, and individuals should take measures to ensure their personal safety and the safety of others in their immediate environment is taken into account when working with methods causing dust in the atmosphere. It's also important to put things in context. Turning one door knob once a year is unlikely to be of harm unless someone is predisposed by a personal condition or allergy. In our workplace we are able to test the air pollution from contamination down to the finest of microns and have always remained well within the safety range and we have yet to even register any levels even close to danger.
