Fun project. Plug cuttter, oh yes.
Thanks for your kind comments. And yes, they were fun projects. Burt
Love it!
Outstanding video
Thank you again. I'm glad you liked it. They were fun to make. Burt
All your videos are great. Thanks.
Your comment is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Burt
Beautiful work Burt. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind comment Burt
You're awesome man!
thanks for the kind comment Burt
Thank you for great tutorial.you have helped me make a decision to buy a spiral tool 😃😃😃
Beautiful!
Thanks! Burt
Thanks for the excellent video and explanation as you go. Can I ask what type of wood do you uses for the snowman and various parts ie. hat, pipe? Thanks
Awesome Job!! very cool!!
Thanks. I had a lot of fun with this one. Burt
What type of wood are you using?
For some I used cherry (the white sapwood), some big leaf maple, but mainly red maple (it is a little whiter and a little harder than big leaf maple.). Use whatever you have. How about making some dark wood ones? P.S. When I make them again, I will make them a little smaller. Good luck, have fun, be safe Burt
Oh a dryer, I was wondering how to dry the markers faster, thank you!
Thanks for the comment. I use a hairdryer on high for 30 seconds. The metallic colors need more. Burt
Where did you get the little twist light for hat?
Look for LED balloon lights on amazon. If I make these again, I think I will make them a little smaller. The only restriction would be the size of the lights (about 1/2 diameter) which affects the size of the hat which in turn affects the size of the snowman. Good luck and have fun! Burt
I just got the Sorby set for Xmas and other Videos didn’t really help. Burt a great job of teaching how to use the tools to be able to control results. Thank you Burt.
You are more than welcome. It is wonderful to hear that the video was helpful. Good luck with the texturing. If you find a new texture, let me know. I hope you have as much fun as I have had. Burt
This was a great video. Well thought out, detailed and the best instructional video I've come across. Thank you for the great video.
You are more than welcome. I'm so glad others find value in the video. That was my hope. P.S. This project was a lot of fun. Burt
Wow that's really amazing. A lot of work but so original. Just curious how much you charge for them.
Thanks for the comment. Lucky for me that I don't make things to sell, so I can dodge that question. For the time it takes there is no way people would pay me a decent wage. It doesn't matter because I have so much fun making them and giving them as Christmas presents. Burt
@@burthovander4873 They look fun to make. I can't wait to try some for myself.
Thanks for the comment. I hope you have as much fun as I had. Burt
Love the snowmen. ⛄🎄
Where do you get the lights for the hat. I can't find them
Are you using the micro texturing tools or the standard size texturing tools?
Craig, I only use the micro set. With the larger set I have to remove too much material to complete the pattern, and that doesn't work for me since I am using it on little tops and the bottom of bowls.
Lovely tops! At 5:15 I believe you have the wheel rotating as if to unscrew the bolt holding it in place. Strictly speaking it should always rotate as if to keep the right hand thread tight, so you may wish to re-mount the wheel in it's holder. The decorating elf is really best used on end grain, but you use them much better than I do anyway & to great effect, well done. Parting off the shaft to a point, means a good top will also spin upside down- see Richard Raffan. Great job, thanks for posting.
You are very observant. I believe you are right. I have ignored whether I run the wheel forward or backward and I have never had a problem. That may be due to a fluke in the way I made the tool or that I really tighten the screw. I did put a thrust bushing in it. Maybe that is the reason. Burt
This is great. The best snowman I’ve seen yet!! Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge. Outstanding demo.
Thanks for saying so. If I make them again, I think I will make them smaller. Burt
Thanks for the kind comment. Burt
You Could've Drilled The Hole In The Belt Before You Put It On The Snowman.
Burt Those Belts Look Good On Those Snowmen
I Use Glitter Paint after I Paint The Snowman White.
Ahhhhh That's Cute LOL😅😅
I'm Making Dohnut Orniments Out of Wood. If I Wanted To Show You Some Of My Work Do You Have An E Mail Address?
I Use Acrylic Paint
Burt I Don't Mean To Laugh But That Little Hat On That Snowman Is Kind Of Cute
But You Had A Good Idea About Putting A Blue Christmas Bulb Inside The Snowman. That Idea About Putting In A Battery Operated Color Changing Led Pretty Dammed Cool
What Kind Of Wood Do You Use?
why did you wait until after you turned the snowman to drill the hole in it's belly, wouldn't have been easier to drill it while square then turn it to clean up the holes while shaping?
Ahh. There was still a square part on top of the head. I think I was thinking that only after having shaped the body and having drilled out the body and head would I really know how deep to drill the belly. For whatever reason, the way I did it worked well for me. By the way, drilling the belly with the forstner bit cut cleanly with no tearout. Try it your way. It would probably be just fine.
Thank You for your response, do you have links to the lights you use?@@burthovander4873
Excellent
Thanks, Burt
You have a lot more time on your hands than I do. How long does it take for one snowman. Jim's wood shop.
Jim, That's a very good question, one I can't really answer. Being retired, I don't have to be efficient. I just need to have fun. Between turning, coloring, designing, filming, letting the paint dry, etc I probable made about 20 in 3 weeks or so plus a week of editing. If I work in the shop for 5-6 hrs., that's about it before I turn to my other hobby of gardening. Isn't life grand! Burt
Awesome ornament, very detailed I am quite impressed. You must of been a NASA engineer on the Apollo 13 project.
Marcel, I was a high school spanish teacher for 36 yrs, but I probably should have been an engineer, at least that is what my wife says along with a lot of other people. But then, teaching was so much fun. How could I have done anything else? Thanks for your comment, Burt
Very nice work where did you get the light
The lights are made to put in a balloon. My wife easily found them on line and they are inexpensive. I believe they come from China. Burt
@@burthovander4873 thanks you for the info you do beautiful work
welcome @@denisdesjardins837
Best video on tops with great approach. Very clear instructions and thought process.
Great tutorial...love all the details. My only suggestion would be to use a V-block when drilling round stock. Much safer...Thanks for the written instructions at the end. Your's is the first video I've seen that did that...
Thanks for your comments. You are the only one to mention the written instructions. That was nice to hear. I didn't use a v-block because I wanted an easy way to perfectly align the belly hole with the face. That is why I had left the four squared sides at the top of the snowman as a way to register it face up and face down. Otherwise I would have been left with basically a cylinder to drill the belly hole and the hole in the back for the optional light. That would have been difficult to secure to the drill press table (even with a v-block) and would have opened me up to being a little off on the alignment because I would have had to just eyeball it. When making a run of the same thing, that is just another way I could screw up. Burt Be safe. Think it through. Is it safe for you?
Thank you for sharing this video! I'm a beginner and my tops look pretty awful. Our woodturning club donates them for breast cancer. Maybe this year my tops will look like this!!
Thanks for your comment. I got roped into turning tops by my club, too. After a few hundred tops I could see some real growth in my control, especially the push cut with a bowl gouge. I started with a chatter tool and then moved on to the sorby texturing tool, and then later the decorating elf and then the wagner knurling tools.I started making bowls at first, but it was making tops that taught me the most. I'm sure I've made at least a couple thousand tops by now and I can't recommend a better way to learn. Keep making those tops! I hope they will teach you as much as they have taught me. Burt
VERY Nice!! Thanks!
Bonjour, belle réalisation, avec quel types de feutres quel marque mettez vous les couleurs?
Bonjour, J'ai utilisé "fine point Sharpie pens". Buena suerte. Burt
Burt, great video - I would like to try macking one of those tops, I realize the the proportions are relative. Wold you share with us what the ratio and szes of your top measured. Thanks again for a very good turning example.
Nelson, If you are close to the proportion I gave in the video, you should be just fine. I think we can ignore the type of wood and their differences in weight. From left to right the numbers refer to the body diameter, body height, protrusion of the stem, and the depth of the recess. The stems are flat on the end, which I think is important. The recesses do have a fairly flat bottom but the sides aren't square, so I can't accurately tell you how much wood was removed. These numbers should give you an idea of how much the proportions can vary. All of these worked just fine. 1) 1.33 1,09 .35 .41 2) 1.32 1.00 .42 .40 3) 1.24 1.02 .46 .29 4) 1.43 1.02 .48 .44 5) 1.43 1.02 .47 .54 6) 1.39 .92 .48 .35 7) 1.22 .97 .44 .36 Good Luck! Let me know if you have any success. Burt
Thank you much. I definitely will give it a try, I am absolutely fascinated at the skill level by you and others. As a "new- be - turner" hopefully in the near future I will send a positive message - thanking you even more
Hi Burt, I shamelessly used the information in your video to help me with a presentation to our wood turning club (West Michigan Woodturners) past Saturday on spiraling and texturing. It was a big hit and I want to thank you for making your video and I do sincerely appreciate all the time that you put into making it! I gave you full credit during my presentation. Thank you.
That is wonderful! I have no desire to make any money off of my videos. They are there to be of help. So, please rob and steal whatever you want. I feel very honored to share what I have learned. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Burt
This is a very comprehensive tutorial on the Sorby texturing tools. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
You are most welcome and thanks for saying so. It is nice to know it was worth all the hours and hours it took. I didn't think I would ever finish. Burt
Ah ! dommage que vous soyez allergique au système métrique......
My french is terrible and I can't spell, but here goes. Ce ne pas totalement vrai. seulement c'est que suis acostumbre au système américain. Et je no comprend pas pourquoi nous n'adopte pas le system métrique. C'est un système plus logique.. Merci pour votre comment. Burt
What is the squealing noise from?
I did look at the video but I'm not sure what you are referring to. I may have been pressing the bevel of the spindle too hard trying to get the cut started. Burt
It looks beautiful!
Thanks!
I love the plug cutter idea, if there’s any any way to do it somebody will find it.
Thanks for your comment. A plug cutter really makes it easy. Burt
Great job. I compare a tip top to a thrown soccer ball, if it is touched it changes the spin but doesn't lose it. Angular Momentum I think is the name.
the changes in playback speed are startling and detract from your video. Would be very easy to dub in a vocal warning that it is coming. Otherwise nice videos.
Thanks for your comment. I didn't even think of that. I will keep it in mind when I make another video. Burt
I really liked your presentation of making a great and beautiful top. Thanks
And thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Burt
Most enjoyable video, love your personality, clear detail voice, and no music..Best one i watched today
Thank you very much for the most kind comments. Good luck with the tools. Be safe. Think it through. Is it safe for you? Burt
Spot on comment, most enjoyable, clear n concise, excellent detail.
