With 30 years of turning experience and a large custom lathe , I have created some very unique items. I have been able to experiment and turn mistakes, and accident into successes

What an incredible work of art...and love! Your talent is just amazing!
hey look great. where did you get the brass rings? I have been looking for exactly the same thing and haven't had much luck.
Thanks for the comment. For rings try nilesbottlestoppers.com
Thank you
Well done. I like your finish especially. From a fellow wood turner.
Great work 👊
Thank you! Cheers!
haha the video is blowing up! Love to see it
Wow!
Very nice to see you hanging out with your grandson!
Santa?
he was my great uncle
SANTA CLAUS
Fantastic
Can you tell me what your email address is thanks
That grey gives it a nice stone appearance. Well Done.
That is exactly what I think. It wasn’t planned but when working with a new colour in the resin one never knows what will happen
Those are some rad bowls
We are lucky enough to have this fellow at our creative space
WOW a beauty
I have a somewhat similar solution partially ready. However, I only used ⅞" bar as the structure and the joints are 2" welding sleeves with ⅝" holes and bolts. No bearings. I don't have the turning arms ready yet, but I'm already looking forward to trying the arm
Thanks for your comments. I would recommend you consider the thrust bearings for every place where two pieces contact each other They look and act like washers but with tiny bearings. They will make the tool move more smoothly. They are less than $5 each, come in all sizes and are at most bearing supply stores. As I stated ,my Arm is very heavy and lighter steel would have been better. Email me a pic when your done grandpadennis9@gmail.com
Way to go. Most turners don't bother with the small ones.
Most women like the small ones. They use them to put their rings in them or to hold their pills.
Just subbed (# 128)! I've used a lathe years ago to turn out a few bowls, though I don't own one (yet!). Till I do, my chainsaw, grinder, and table saw will have to do! (Wood: reclaimed locust, ceder, and Japanese cherry.) Q. What is the make and model of your lathe? (It looks so beefy that I would not doubt that it could turn just about anything three average people could lift.) ----- Re: The lathe 'going in reverse'. I would bet that the speed of capture (from the camera) is almost in sync with the RPM of the lathe. That means that each frame the camera takes is *almost* exactly the same *ratio* of the RPM of the lathe. Because of that, the video looks like the lathe is running in reverse. Ex: If the lathe rotated at 1,000 RPM (~17/second), and the camera captures at 3,600 frames per minute (60 seconds * 60 FPS (frames per second)), then the ratio would be 3.6 frames per revolution. If it were 3.6 FPR, then the video would not almost sync up, and we would likely see a blur and nothing else. Because we do see a pattern, I bet that the actual ratio is very close to 1.3 or 1.4 .
Thank you for your comments.I think your answer to the lathe going backward is probably correct. I took two years to research and design my lathe. The welder and machinist took another year to complete. At the time it had many feature that no lathe on the market had. (1991). However many companies now have them. It was very costly at the time but once the process started and the costs kept escalating I couldn't back out. Today the costs would be prohibitive. I also have almost 100 chisels but all the tools and expensive lathes do not equate to quality work. Work with what you have or can afford and do the best you can. Many woodturners are turning out great work with much less.
@@Grandpa-Dennis No need to reply. Just some thoughts I have ... Re: One-of-a-kind-lathe: No wonder I couldn't place it. It's a beautiful monster. I'm envious of it, and admiring of the effort you put into it to make it become real. I would be stunned if others weren't also. While you said that the features you made are now found in many companies(?) lathes, I suspect that a few features; * Still have not shown up in many (or any!) commercial lathes. * Because the lathe took years to develop and build, and required the skills of three people (you, welder, machinist), I would imagine that some want-to-have features were set aside so you could eventually use it! If there are any ideas that are implemented only in your lathe, or were not implemented but were on the short list, you might want to contact a company that is worthy of making such a device. The resulting device might not get many buyers, but could become legendary. I recommend this only because it is obvious you put quite a bit of thought into this, and some of that is still available for others to benefit from.
Beautiful work, its the imperfection that adds interest
Couldn't agree more!
Where do I find that coring system ? I was looking forward to seeing how that process is done
oneway manufacturing .ca. they sell the complete coring system. many tuners believe it is he best on the market. I will be doing a more complete video about coring and one on sanding and then hollowing etc.
@@Grandpa-Dennis I'll definitely keep an eye out for the coring video
I was looking forward to this follow-up! Thank you for sharing.
🤗 Promo-SM
thanks for tuning in
Enjoy your last video. It is a beautiful piece of ornament
thanks Johnny
Ah-hah! So that's why I see a lot of EasyWood tools being used when turning resin-wood projects. I had no idea that carbide is the thing for resin: I always assumed that resin was softer than wood! 😳 Thanks for the enligthening. Great job on that bowl there!
once the resin is fully cured it is very hard and brittle. it can be turned with high speed steel but they dull quickly. I do use steel from time to time for light finishing cuts but sharpening often
Very nice!
Thanks!
Enjoyed the video and the results, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I like the contrast that green had with the wood. I think it is super cool that you are able to get multiple projects out of one casting as opposed to wasting all of that material.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done 👍
Pretty color resin brings out the beauty of the wood, Thanks for the video Dennis. :)
Thank you too!
NICE Recovery from the toss! BEAUTIFUL PROJECT
Thank you! Cheers!
Getting more beautiful Dennis. :)
thank you. Hope you enjoyed all three parts.
@@Grandpa-Dennis I did very much. Interesting looking lathe you have. I’m sorta new at turning and in the states. I’m guessing you are in Canada? Have a blessed day.
I took two years to design the lathe and another year working with the machine shop to make it. Some day I’ll do a video on that@@waynenelson8907
That would be very interesting :) @@Grandpa-Dennis
That's a fine turning, you honor your friend well.
that's what friendship is all about. thank you
Hi Dennis! Glad you weren’t hurt! Wow, that is a lot of work to get the three bowls but they are gorgeous. Whenever I hurry with something when I was young, my Gram would say “Act in haste and repent in leisure”. Funny how I still hear her voice after trying to cut a corner or two to finish faster…. Happy New Year! 🍾🥳
thank you.
That really turned out amazing what a great job you did there for a friend Im sure he will appreciate what you did. Well done.
Great work and noble cause. You are correct, friends and family are so important to our lives we must always strive to make time for them! You’re a good person and very talented!!!
Dennis. You are a Jack of all trades and Master of many. Love everything about your channel. Keep up the good work. :) :)
Another beautiful piece. I am new to your channel looking forward to more of your work. Love your words of wisdom. :) God Bless.
BEAUTIFUL piece. Very commendable. God Bless you Dennis, and Blessed be the memory of your friend's son.
thank you he was pleased
OMG... what a work of art, I trust your friend was amazed with the urn. Friends like you are far and few between these days.. I only wish I had friends like you. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless
Hi Dennis! Man, those mills were a lot of work! They are gorgeous! I have been trying new crafts lately which has helped with time speeding by. Take care!
Thanks for watching. I think the feeling of time slowing down also works when you experience new and significant adventures in life eg. climbing a mountain, white water rafting, or trying a new sport.
Absolutely stunning!!
Spectacular job and I am sure your friend will be blessed with your creation.
thank you that's what friends are for
Hi Dennis! Turned out great! Love the combination of wood, blue and gold.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi Dennis! Looking forward to seeing how the bowl looks at the end!
Enjoyed the video.
So far so good. Looking forward to part 2
