Woodturning The Elm Burr/Burl : A Large Pedestal Urn Lamp Base
Переглядів 3,2 тис.5 років тому
In this video i take a piece of the large Elm burr/burl and woodturn it to make a large pedestal/urn table lamp base. After roughing the blank into round i think that the wood is actually a tree canker that had burr caps on the outside of it, that said, it still has incredible colour and grain. Originally, I planned to fill the cracks and inclusions with resin but in the end decided to only sta...
Woodturning a Baby Rattle for my Son - Padauk and Ebony

In this video I, at last, turn a Baby Rattle for my son Matthew. This rattle is a personal design that I sketched out and selected wood species for. I decided to laminate a striped pattern using Padauk, Ebony and Idigbo, with a solid Ebony handle. This rattle was turned in two parts to hollow the inside before a few small stones were placed inside to create the rattle sound. To keep it safe for...

Halloween Pumpkin/Jack O Lantern Hollow Form Part 2: Fixing and Refitting the Lid
Переглядів 6085 років тому
In this video I fix the mistake I previously made when trying to fit the lid to the Pumpkin. In order to fix the oversized opening in the pumpkin I first round off a piece of walnut and taper it to act as a plug which I can glue into the opening of the pumpkin thus allowing me to turn a new opening. The addition of the walnut band around the top does a lot to make the overall appearance of the ...

Making My Own Negative Rake Scraper - Iroko Handle

In this video I make my own negative rake scraper using a piece of High Speed Steel that is 6x25x200. I grind a tang onto one end using a 6" wheel grinder before turning a handle from Iroko. Once the steel is glued into the handle I grind a curve onto the end of the blade using the wheel grinder. I then use the Robert Sorby Pro Edge to grind a 25 degree bevel on both sides and sharpen a keen ed...

Rough Turned - Oven Dried - Elm Fruit Bowl with part Natural Edge Rim
Переглядів 1,1 тис.6 років тому
In this video I rough turn a large piece of part seasoned Elm I acquired last year. I start by roughing out the blank so that i'm able to dry it in the oven to allow it to be finish turned sooner. The roughed out bowl is dried in the oven at 80 degrees C for 1.5hrs. It went from weighing 1,700g and 30% moisture to 1,400g and 12% moisture. The blank is the remounted on the lathe and finish turne...

Woodturning a Matching Pair of Idigbo Lamps
Great video
I know this is 6 years old and you may not see this, but I would like two things explained. Your finish for one-how far did you sand and what friction polish did you use? Also, an explanation of how exactly you did the Celtic knot. Thanks
Amazing
Stunning...
Thank you very much. Beautiful tool you made. Great job
That's ace
Best demonstration thus far, answered all my questions. Thanks for providing the video.
What's the best wood for making handles, Great vid/
Very informative. I am going to try this. Thanks!
Thanks for a fine project. It has given me some motivation to move to inside out ornaments. Thanks
That is fantastic!
I know this is a late comment! I don't wear an expensive metal watch when turning any more - one swipe from your chuck jaws and...!! Loved the ornament.
Excellent piece
Looking forward to the turning Nathan
Great video thank you for sharing
For us beginners, how do you get them to match perfectly?
love it....great job!
Tool steel is often shipped in an annealed state (maximally softened). If it won’t keep an edge,take the blade out of the handle and heat it with a torch until it no longer will stick to a magnet. Then plunge in old motor oil. When it cools down wipe off the oil and put the blade in your kitchen oven at 425 F for three hours. That will give you a properly hardened and tempered blade. If you grind it keep dipping the blade in cool water to avoid re softening the blade. I recently heat treated a bowl gouge I made of 0-1 tool steel and I am quite pleased with it. Frank
Very nice what is the lenth of it
Really Nice Lamp, great job ☘️ ☘️
Does this solution have potential to catch fire?
Great video, really enjoyed watching new with the tannin. I have done the 00000 steel wool, cleaning vinegar and 2 cups of coffee grounds for years. But now can’t wait to order some leaves off Amazon. I can’t recall if you hand a ratio of water to leaves, excuse me if you do, but is that usual mixture, 3 leaves to that amount of water? Or could you boil it down further to make a concentrate? Not sure that would work or not. Thanks for any comments. Take care and thanks again.
Thank you! I've struggled with this program, and gave up on it. But you have explained it well. I'm going to try to work on it soon. Thank you again.
Great tutorial Nathan full view/like/Subd All the best Yiannis (Athens Greece)
Nice job well done have to try one of them
Nicely done the only things I would have done differently would be to pause and dip in cool water while grinding to prevent heating the steel to a blue colour Cut the tang with angle grinder with a cut off disk Drill the tang hole about 6 mm deeper Fix the blade to the handle with epoxy and leave a coat of epoxy on the end to enclose the end of handle and seal around the tang I would strike a Dimple in the side of the ferrel with centre punch and chamfer the edge of the ferrel slightly A very handsome.scraper that should serve you for years
Beautiful
Nathan what product did you finish the ebonized wood with?
That's a really nice job you've done there Nathan, pewter eh? I got a load of Horse Chestnut a couple of years ago and it loved to be ebonised just with the iron acetate. Are you not making any more videos? I've been looking.. Best regards. 🙃
Fantastic pens turning a professional working
very nice, what size blanks to you start up with ?
it was good till you cranked the music up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that looks great
Where did you obtain the blanks from?
Hello how long do you let the sanding sealer dry for thanks Michael
Nice work lovely piece but had to watch with no sound that music was awful i would prefer lathe noise
Nice bit of work some finish on it
Excellent result. I was skeptical about grinding out all that HS steel for the tang. I'm sure it warmed up a bit, but came out great. I don't have a belt grinder but it seemed to work so well for the bevel, I wonder if you could have used it for the tang too. Thanks for sharing.
Alright
Hello Nathan, nice to see and hear a fellow Scot on YT. You've got a new subscriber. Best regards. 🙃
what do you call that chisel?tnx bro great work you inspire me
Nathan your work is great. I appreciate your videos. I am a first time viewer.
what is indigbo wood,, how do you get it, where is it from ? OH GREAT VIEDO, WELL DONE . THANKS
Really inspirational -- you made that look so simple. I'm going to give it a shot. One additional thing -- it's incredible that I searched amazon for those same dimensions of bar stock and found that the 5 dollar price you quoted from 2018 has ballooned into about 10 dollars. Absolutely insane. Soul crushing this amount of inflation man. Anyway...
Thanks Nathan, I'm making a second one of these for my brother in-law and couldn't remember how they go together lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Well done thats a better job than my first attempt at segmented turning, by the way that xxxxx music is absolutely horrible
I think you should have hardened and tempered it!
Hi ,what size bar did you purchase? Thanks for the idea
Good job, it's a great help as I've just started using the software. I highly recommend purchasing the software if you are going to do segmented work.
Where did you order the blank from. I havent found any that thick.
