I decided to let my website lapse and made a slide show of some of the project I have on the site. If you have any questions or comments I'll try to answer them the best I can. This is the first time I placed music in the back ground, not sure if I like it.. Back ground music is from Mixkit.co royalty free stock music

That cool
nice BOWL
Wow! That was amazing! I'm already getting some creative ideas from this! Maybe wooden screwdriver handles with a hidden compartment! XD
Oh wow! These are amazing! Do you think they might still whistle if they were let's say 1/3 the size?
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I make lots of spinning tops and have a slightly dished plastic plate to spin them on which is great.
Like your work, not so much the camera angle
do you make them to sell? I'd like to buy one.
Since I just started turning in December of 22 and don't remember anything from shop class 70 years ago, I have watched 100s of videos on turning. Yours is the first I've seen turning the tenon on the head stock end. Interesting. Also , starting the hollowing with that large of a Forestner bit would bog my lathe to a standstill. I start with a 1/2" or 5/8", then skip every other size until I get to 1 1/2" and up. I am subscribing so I can learn new techniques that might be easier for me. I really like the birds mouth bowl and will be searching my wood pile for a good candidate. Maybe try cedar. Thanks

Du beau travail .....la toupie mon jouet préféré. ...seulement je n'ai pas compris comment vous la faites tourner ...c'est un model que je ne connais pas du tout ...Merci de montrer plus .un grand bonjour d'Algérie .
Thank you George. Nicely done.
@"Scrap wood city" makes the launchers ,,. Regards Alf
That is totally cool... excellent workmanship down to the BB👍🤓
hello-great finale of your work-greetings and invite you to yourself
Can you make one like this and i will purchase?
Nice save George - learning from that one too!
What was that line cord @17:17? I've never seen that before.
don't understand the question
Sorry...I meant to ask what you used at @23:18 to make the lines in the top. That line or cord thingy?
That is a piece of metal guitar string. You can also use a piece of thin electrical wire . CAUTION : do not hold the wire in your hand , wrap it around a dowel or stick on each end. look up wire burning or burning lines for wood turning.
Thank you.
Muito bom, obrigado por ensinar
How long is the string? Good video with information on size Thanks
Ron I think I did about 6' on the string Thanks for comment
found the f8 tributo whistle
Good work
I would've liked to see you sand, polish, and finish this piece. It also would've been nice to see inside the piece as you were turning it and carving out the inside... other than that, good video, and nice piece... 👍
George, when you do a box, most of the time you are doing an end grain cut that I don't think bowl gouges are made for that.
Beautiful job
From the Bee Gees to TLC.... what a wild collection of music
I don't get it... you're wearing fingerless gloves because the bark flies off and stings, leaving bruises? Wouldn't it make sense to wear the whole glove in that case?
No, because if it gets caught between the tool rest and the object being turned then it will pull on the glove, and pull the whole thing in and I am sure you don't want to see what happens next. I can tell you that you won't be happy going to ER.

Very nice top, thanks for sharing. Time to go BIG. th-cam.com/video/VkLZ-OVLkFc/w-d-xo.html
Love the noise
Just a caution. Playing the radio in the background can lead to a copyright strike.
I'm more concerned about the BeesGees playing!
l would like to see how you paint the turnings you showed at the end, also. Fantastic effect!
Beautiful! I'd love to see a video on how you painted that one you showed at the end. Amazing work
I enjoyed watching the build. Looking forward to seeing more
Why does it not whistal while spinning it on the lathe?
Spinning in wrong direction maybe? Sometimes the holes need to be angled just a little off so the wind wont go in when its going wrong direction?
Wouldn't spinning it on the lathe to part it off tell you whether or not it whistles?
Lathe doesn't spin fast enough
how thick is the wall ,is inside straight sided or rounded, how wide and long is the hole you cut. you left out too much
my bad. wrote before end of vid sorry
Whistling top, you say make the hole at "A bit of an angle" can you be more procise as I think getting this wrong will mean it will not whistle
Patrick, It's mostly trial and error . I start out at about a 30 degree angle then adjust from there .Don't give up I have a pile of whistling tops that just spin and refuse to whistle
@@georgek3101love the passion
Nice video George. What kind of finish are you putting on your tops?
Nice! Fun! Project. Thanks for sharing
Nice looking box. Curious as to how well those 16 tpi work on a large box like that. I could not tell if it was end grain or side grain. I have the same threader and like it but will have to add a larger knob like you did.
Mike, It was a burl and the threads worked fine. You just need to ca glue them to make them hard so they last . I want to get the other threads when I get the extra cash . George
George K 10 tpi is a little course looking on small boxes but does well on woods that might not hold a thread as well and larger boxes. I would skip the 20 tpi unless you are threading exotic boxes no larger than 2" in diameter.16 tpi is my favorite size.
I like the larger wood knob you put on your EZ threader. Great idea as that small knurled knob is hard on your hands. Nice closeup of the cutter.
Where did you get the farrell from.
I bought them from a guy on one of the woodworking forums. He got them at an estate sale . I've used copper tubing or couplings .
