Thanks for watching. I like these better than round handles for hammers and mallets... You can buy handles really cheap at the hardware store, but this is more satisfying.
Very interesting. At first I thought what's off center about that but as you were showing the old handle it dawned on me that you can't turn an oval on centers. I never thought about that before now I know.
Glad you liked it Opa! You should give it a try... it will add lots of options to what you can do. I created a playlst of my offset turning vids... ruclips.net/video/yCStMy3Pp5M/видео.html Some of these aren't so successful and some work out better than others, but they may give you ideas.... There are some good offset turning videos on you tube by turners that are much more skilled than I am. Check them out if you’re interested.
Thanks! I usually try to keep the length down on the videos but there were a lot of details I couldn't leave out. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
It was good until you placed the wedge in wrong and split the handle like firewood.. you will be replacing this handle before long. Very common mistake.
Making a hammer for my brothers father-in-law and had no idea how to do it. This was very helpful! Thanks!
I glad you found some use for the video. Thanks for telling me.
Very good, basic tutorial on off-center turning!
I've actually never seen anyone turn a handle like this with the offsets. I never even thought of it. Thanks for the video

great job Jason that turned out really nice. Since I'm really new to the lathe I found this very helpful.

Did not know how this was done, thx, very neat stuff.
A very respectable effort.
usually they polish up the head, but I appreciate the "original" look
Looks good. Making me want some shop time!
Man... you have been watching my vids for a really long time now.... I would LOVE to see some of your work!
There hasn't been much to see for a long time unfortunately, busy playing Daddy :)

Oh, so it was you I saw using Danish oil on tools! I couldn't recall. Previously I thought it was David W, the plane maker.
I wouldn't doubt it... it's really good for that stuff.
Nice work!
Thanks Willem!
Nice!!!,
What type of wood nice job I'll have to try it
Dale Williford This was ash. Thanks for watching.
0:56 hahahaha that's the WORST. Cool find on the hammer by the way.
I'm starting to enjoy laughing at myself with you guys... Does that make me weird? (I really don't care... I know I'm weird)
Are those skew or roughing crocs?
