5 minutes for $10, can I do it?
I saw someone on TH-cam make a dry vase in 10 minutes that they would sell it for $10. I thought that making a dry vase in that amount of time looked easy, and thought I'd have no problem replicating that kind of time, but I was wrong. it took me several attempts to get my process down and to come up with a design that I liked. let's see if I can get this done in 5 minutes

How to make a Scottish Spurtle with the skew
มุมมอง 70หลายเดือนก่อน
A spurtle (spər-tᵊl) is a wooden Scottish kitchen tool that dates back to the 15th century. It’s primarily used for stirring porridge, soups, stews, and broths. Shape and Purpose: The spurtle has a rod-like shape, which allows for efficient stirring without congealing or forming lumps in porridge. Unlike a spoon, which might drag during stirring, the low surface area of a spurtle reduces the ch...
Spalted Maple bowl, colors I've never seen in wood and they are natural!

this is box elder or Manitoba Maple, either way you can it, wow is it a pretty type of wood! I've seen red and orange before, but never purple! this is how I turn a wood bowl, start to finish
The biggest end grain bowl I've ever made!
มุมมอง 1652 หลายเดือนก่อน
I don't make a lot of end grain bowls but this one is special. it's over 12" in diameter, white oak, solid, and took quite a while to make because end grain bowls need to be made differently. the main thing to keep in mind is you want to cut into side grain, not into end grain whenever possible. now you know the secret to cutting end grain bowls!
My journey with the skew so far
มุมมอง 2472 หลายเดือนก่อน
this is my woodworking journey with the skew. do I get catches on the skew, skid marks, or swirls? yup, but less and less the more I practice! the skills I've learned with the skew have helped me with all my other wood turning tools like bowl gouges or the spindle gouge. I hope you can learn how to use the skew too as it's one of the most rewarding tools to use. as this is my journey, I've got ...
a GIANT (to me) walnut bowl

this is the biggest bowl I've ever made! I couldn't even get my finger between the bowl and the bed of the lathe. this video shows my process to make one of these. it may not be conventional, but it did work for me. if you wondered how that massive hunk of wood became a bowl, check it out!
Skew chisel practice on a honey dipper - real time in less than 6 minutes!
มุมมอง 3013 หลายเดือนก่อน
it's taken a long time to be able to come out with this video. I don't know that "mastering" the skew chisel is ever really a thing, but it's so much fun it's worth trying. something practical for me to make is the simple honey dipper. like any project you can always add more detail and complexity. for me, I'm trying to find the balance between speed and quality.
tool handle for drill bit depth guide
มุมมอง 7703 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've always wanted to make a depth guide for my wood turning. here I make a handle with the skew Chisel, drill a hole in the end with the same drill bit that I glue into place. this is a great little skew Chisel project that will give you a little practice, you'll also come out of it with something useful!

Skew chisel's aren't the easiest tool to master but I'm gonna try anyway! learning a new skill aside, this vase turned out quite well and I'm excited to make some more - even though I've had some spontaneous design decisions along the way
Turning an odd shaped fruit bowl

this food safe fruit bowl is now twice turned from a blank that was rough turned from a log several months ago. the colors in red oak are beautiful. the rim of the bowl has a nice detail that separates the rim from the rest of the inside of the bowl. this video is part of me documenting my woodworking journey, thanks for sharing in the experience with me!
How to Make a Miniature Whisky Barrel
มุมมอง 2.8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
If you look at a Cooperage, you'll find that they make oak barrels and char them in preparation for whisky. It's a similar process that's going on here, except it's with the lathe and in miniature form. Barrel Size belly = 38mm / 1.5" top / bottom =31mm / 1.2" height = 51mm / 2" These proportions should help approximate the shape and size. mimicking the metal straps is something to play with. I...
A Platter From Pallet Wood Separator Sticks

Red Oak Fruit Bowl
มุมมอง 975 หลายเดือนก่อน
this is a twice turned red oak bowl. this wood is quite beautiful and can be hard to cut at times. after roughing out a blank I'll let it dry for a few weeks to months, depending when I'm ready to work on it again. I'll make sure the roughed out blank has a tenon on it so it's easier to grab with my Chuck. I've become a fan of larger rims on a bowl, kind of a 1/3 to 2/3 split.

Beeswax is yellow and will add that color to almost any wood. Mineral oil alone will add a deep wet look without the yellowing. Both of your finishes look very nice.
Thank you
Butterfly nut!
Excellent work
@@DaveCollierCamping thanks!
$10 is a vase, $100 is a vaas
Ha! Sounds good to me
Cool.

Another beautiful bowl Matt
Thank you!
It's a masterpiece 👏👏
Thank you!
Nice.
Thanks
Thank you.

My favorite wood, spalted and buggy. Nothing like turning and getting splattered with bug guts.
🤣
Good job, that turned out great.
Thanks!
This is the joy of wood turning. Great job and love your channel.
Thank you! I'm having a blast. Apparently woodturning is addictive 🤣
Hi Matt if you want to use the skew better have a look at a fellow youtuber he goes by the name Woodturner 21 he is a skew master here is the link th-cam.com/video/TlOz_fyUThQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Hy-38X7YIwbou1U_ watch this and improve your skew work I surely did Keep up the great work Marty Aussie turner
Clean looking vase! How do you handle including the pith, some slow dry process? Everything I've turned so far that included the pith has split (some within days, some months). Also not trying to judge but could be worth doing some googling on using gloves and lathes. Fingerless could be a good option or if you're just trying to stay clean/warm then nitrile or something that would just tear instead of pulling you into the machine would keep your hands safer!
Thanks! The wood has been drying for years and would have cracked by now if it was going to. I also still my hole right through the pitch so I think that helps somewhat. The gloves thing, it's winter when the video was filmed. I've got some tighter gloves now but our winter temps hit -40 C/F but probably average out at -10C this year. Having gloves with fingers poking out is asking for frostbite in minutes here. Safety is everyone's responsibility for sure and I appreciate your concern
Looks great! Same here trying patiently to get better with the skew
I wish you well with your skew!
WOW that is beautiful looking wood
Thank you!
That's a super cute little lathe project, great idea. And cheers for explaining why you have those gloves on - no business of mine if someone wants to wear gloves when they work, but thats the first time I've seen someone wear those super thick insulated ones, must be bloody cold up there!! 👍👍
Thanks! And yeah, it gets down to -40. It's been a mild winter bit I still like to feel my fingers. It's still winter but warming up now thankfully.
First time I saw one like that. Do you sell them?
Yes I do, they sell fairly well
@@blackcoalwoodworkinggood to know.
Great video. I am a former Canadian :)
Thanks! Being a former Canadian I'm sure you want through your share of mixing Imperial and metric measurements depending on mood and all sorts of other seemingly randomness 😜. It's good to see you on my channel
@@blackcoalwoodworking yes, especially with temperature. 0C to -40 and 33F and above...lol. Miles to a destination and Km to see how long it will take...lol
How much is accoya? I can't find any prices online for lumber. Other than even Accoya saying it's "luxury".
Good question. I happened to find some scraps at a local factory that specializes in high luxury stuff and bought it. There wasn't a lot to buy, but enough to test a couple of bowls at least
That looks nice
Thank you!
I love the different colours in the S looks amazing.
Thank you!
WOW. I love how that wood pops
Thanks!
A good wood is Camphor which smells like Vicks vapor rub an the trunck wood is a different color then the limbs.
That's cool
A very nice-looking bowl. I had never heard of Accoya before, very interesting. I imagine you wore a dust mask or respirator the whole time. I will be looking for your update the longevity of the smell and the durability of the bowl. Did you buy the wood online? Any side of effects of working with it, e.g., staining of the lathe, etc?
Thanks! Yeah, respirator is my preferred safety device. The only side effect was the smell. Even a day later the shavings on the ground kept the smell in the air. Other than that it was similar to turning pine, no staining or anything, it did seem to cut a little harder but otherwise it's just like pine. I sourced it from my workplace.
I'm going to make one of those...thanks for sharing
Enjoy, thanks!
Looks very cool. Careful with those HF gloves. I confess to wearing that exact glove on my left hand sometimes when I turn, even though I know it isn’t the safest thing to do. But those shavings get so hot.
Thanks! Yeah, the gloves are a necessary evil. I'm always watchful and have made some hard and fast rules for myself so I stay as safe as possible by habit among other things.
Promo-SM
7:40 or so... I was going to ask how you could stand those shavings hitting the outside of your hand. I know that I can take it for only a few seconds. I nearly always wear a pair of "Ironclad Framer" gloves for just that reason. I know the Safety Sallies clutch their pearls when they associate lathes and gloves, but hey. Nicely done video and box. A pleasure to watch, listen to, and learn! Cheers!
Thanks! Ya, the safety stuff, super important of course. Most of the time I do wear gloves too. I must have been feeling particularly invulnerable that day.
Freddy kruger gloves are a bad idea on a lathe. No feel, plenty of fabric to rip your fingers off through.
I appreciate your concern. Wearing gloves on the lathe is normal, sometimes even Freddie Kruger's. It's best to keep all fingers behind the tool rest while the wood is spinning. Much safer. Cheers!
The grain runs the same way on each layer of LVL
Thanks, I really didn't know which way the layers ran, I just know it felt a more difficult to cut than what I would have thought to be normal
Looks really good
Thanks!
I have been using walnut oil for a long time. Haven't seen many others doing so. There are so many useless vids out there on different, unnecessary products when all you need is to keep it simple. Natural oils and natural wax.
Agreed! Simple is good
Very well done
Thanks!
Hi bro, what smell do you get from the lindseed mix? What mineral oil did you use? Baby oil?
Hi! Boiled linseed oil has a distinct "oil" smell. If you attempt to use it inside a drawer, you'll find the smell stays for a long time because it's not allowed to cure and off gas properly. Once boiled linseed oil has cured there is little to no smell. The mineral oil was the basic stuff from the local drug store, not baby oil. Sometimes there's a price difference going to the baby mineral oil vs a generic mineral oil. For woodworking, they are the same, you may just end up paying more for one.
@@blackcoalwoodworking the color of Your box is fantastic, am thinking of olive oil or some other household oil that would give pine a darker tint.
Thanks! The reason I don't use olive oil is because I think it will go rancid at some point. If you are using a wood bowl regularly then I think olive oil is ok because you would wash the bowl and the old oil off, then add new oil back on
Really surprised you are wearing gloves. That seems really dangerous around a spinning machine.
Pretty much standard practice for experienced turners
Thanks for being concerned! It's normal especially in Canada's winter... Or the hot steam coming off the wood in summer... The key to being safe is to keep your hands behind the tool rest.
Love your vids. Just started turning myself. Blew up my first bowl but my second was successful.
Thanks, I'll bet that successful one felt great!
Nice little bowl. I like the rim detail on the outside. What make/model chuck is that? Have you been happy with it?
Thanks! The Chuck I have is the VINWOX SCK4-3.75 Wood Lathe Gear Chuck Key Chuck, with 1"x8TPI Thread & 3/4"x16TPI Adapter. I actually live it a lot. I did get to a point where it wouldn't tighten anymore, but the fix was super easy... I cleaned out the saw dust by rinsing it out, then put vegetable oil in it, now it's like new again!
Simple but pretty
Thanks
Would you kindly make a different one? Most designs stand on a wobbly tripod, that takes up too much space anyway. Most working Artists are in limited space. Why not build one that clamps to any table securely, while the top canvas grabber goes to a 4' height, and THE BOTTOM CANVAS GRABBER, lowers below the table height, to about 2' off the ground. That gives a professional 6 foot canvas in a secure and limited space. I went to Home Depot, but they didn't seem to have a clamp that is secure on the easel, but clamps to any table (and can be moved when necessary.) You could certainly sell the design if you don't want to make and sell the Easels! Also, don't we all hate wingnuts? They're too small. We need a big knob, easier to grab and turn. HD calls them "Valves" but they're much easier to grab and adjust. The "Table top Easels" tip over and hold a max 1 ft canvas. Could you do it?
Thanks for the idea! we will see if I get some time to try that.
Before WWII the Finns used a similar recipe for gunstock finish: 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 linseed oil, 1/3 turpentine. I have used it o a number of tool handles and walking sticks.
That's interesting!
I like it
Thank you
Such a unique looking bowl! ❤
Thanks!
