The resin and all my colours come from Designers Epoxy. ca

@ thanks so much. I’m gonna get my hubby to make something with that color. I love it. He needs to get that tool to cut those nesting bowls. lol. I need those in my life. And he said he needed that curved rest thingy. You can tell I’m clueless. Thanks, I’ll give him the info

@@jamiesworld4675 the finish is home made. 1/3 each boiled linseed, polyurethane, pure tung oil. The buffing is before the application take out fine scratches. When finish cures more buffing then put one second coat. 4 to 6 coats recommended

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

thank you. I hope you will be able to visit this summer to see one made in person

I had trouble finding one so I went to the second hand store and found nylon wind breakers without logos on the front ($8) got my logo printed on front($4) and cut the sleeves short for safety.

Thanks! It is interesting what nature can produce

thanks

thank you

Thank you too!

I will, Merry Christmas!

That is also a good idea. The lesson is that we can find a lot of existing “stuff” and repurpose it

@@AGSMReception thank you elders have a lot of good to share

Thank you. Much of it is craftsmanship but the finished product is beautiful as well as functional

Thanks for the comment. For rings try nilesbottlestoppers.com

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Cheers!

thank you

Always!

he was my great uncle

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

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

Most women like the small ones. They use them to put their rings in them or to hold their pills.

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.

Couldn't agree more!

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

thanks for tuning in

thanks Johnny

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

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you too!

Thank you! Cheers!

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 what friendship is all about. thank you

thank you.
