because I watched your video, and others, many times over, I was finally able to turn a penguin. Isn't as nice as yours but it's a beginning. My first attempt will be fire wood. This one turned out OK. If I knew how to post a picture of it I would. I'm sorry @peterkramer4143 thought I was trashing your video. Far from it. I was not at all, I just want to learn so I ask for as much direction as I can get. Thank you for your video showing me and others how to turn a penguin.
Thanks...everything is OK no need for apologies....I have an instagram account ultrawoody_ where I post pictures and short video's...it also has private message you can ask what you like...cheers Dennis
Thanks for sharing Chris, glad this came up as a suggested video, it got me to subscribe. This looks like a neat little project to have a go at, might also be a good little earner here, seeing as we have a town named Penguin, lol.
This is my most watched video.....I lost the copyright so I don't get any revenue from it.....if you like penguins I've dove a recent video.....also I'm doing a Robin for tomorrow....half turned half carved...cheers
Happy New Year Chris. The penguins are excellent, a great project. I couldn’t help but notice you had more glue-ups on the bench, looking forward to seeing what comes next. Congratulations on the increasing subs. Ian
I was waiting for someone to ask....I do some experimenting...I want to do a heart inside out turning...the test piece was reassuring....cheers..Happy New Year
I get my scrap wood from from work ....its what I've got...however I've just found out I can stain walnut black with ebonizing solution...but I will look into that black wood..thanks🙂
@@ultrawoody1968 , those blackwood will probably scare you. A good black result for me is to torch the wood, clean off with med. stiffness wire brush, then apply India ink.
It was a long time ago...two years...but I usually use shellac and cut'n polish...and sometimes finish with renaissance wax...I've recently done another penguin video..I use shellac and cut'n polish on those ones....thanks for watching 😀
Chris, I love your penguin's nice bit of turning. Is there any chance you can lose the music or something different don't mean to offend Regards Steve UK London
@DennisDolan-fl3mw didn't I say the same thing but in a different way... let me explain more just so you know what I'm up against...I do in fact like the music, it's copyright free music supplied by youtube creators, then the writer decides to deny free copyright so the royalties for my video go to the music writer...but of a scam if you ask me. The only reason I keep the penguin video up is because I still get comments even though it's one of my first video's. I make all kinds of woodturning and woodworking projects so have a look at some of my other video's. I'm hoping to do ducks and owls just as soon as I perfect the methods...also I'm still at the stage where I can reply to all watchers comments ...so feel free to ask if you have any more questions ...cheers 😀
Great penguins, Chris! Please tell me why you use a semicircular lathe chisel for grooving large diameters, and often use a flat carpentry chisel for the nose and eyes? Is it because the chisel removes less material?
It's because I've made some of my chisels....that round one is a continental gouge it's the best one I've got ....it was also the closest one to me...it does cut nice though...I've learned most of my turning off youtube....Good to hear from you
Sure...they represent my family...I'm the big fat one...125 118 105 100 and 62mm...the wife is slightly thinner 😆....this is quite a popular video, they are fun and easy to do....thanks so much for watching......I've got a good one for Friday....cheers
There is no ratio or magic method I used two bits of walnut and one of maple....I've got one close so these are the measurements it's 135x67x67mm make the light bit about 15mm thick
@@ultrawoody1968 Thanks for your response I have turned some mini ones for Christmas tree decorations , now I will try some larger ones with those measurements.
These are great!! I want to ask my husband to make them for our family for Christmas. Would you be able to give me the finished size (height and width) of the penguin? Thank you so much!!
Nice job pengu love the way you bonded the wood bits for the two colours , you know how to spoil your wife lol .ive subd ,maybe you might want to check my channel out ,at some point there maybe some turning although ive only just bought my lathe lol it even unboxed yet. take care Ant from Wales tho a Yorkshire man thru and thru.
I use shellac flakes mixed with methylated spirits it's basically sanding sealer....then I use chestnut cut'n polish....then micro crystalline wax....I use renaissance wax.... if you go to your nearest wood turning shop...and hang around on a Saturday morning you can talk for hours with old gassers and learn loads....
These are great. Will be doing some shortly. Only one grouch Chris. Please lose the music! Drove me nuts trying to watch the video. Had to turn the sound off! I don't understand why people have use it.😩 Regards.
Its my biggest bugbear this video....because I used tge music I got a copyright strike...its my most watched video...this was a couple of years ago....I recently did a new penguin video...I can't change the music on the old one...I can only delete it....I don't use music any more except the beginning and end....thanks for watching check out my other videos 😀 .
Really like your demonstration but some narration would have been helpful and a whole lot better than that annoying "Flowers" song. I seriously doubt if that was a piano at all. My 6 year old grand daughter plays better piano than that.
That's old stuff...I don't use music since I kept getting copyright strikes...there is another penguin video without music...and I'll probably do another at Christmas...thanks for watching 😀
This guy is just going around trashing all the woodworking penguin videos. Haven’t seen any videos from him though. @dennisDolan-fl3mw needs to put his money where his mouth is and make the best penguin video or hop off TH-cam and stop being a critic.
It doesn't bother me....there was lots more of this at one time...youtube stopped it...I feel the same way as you do....I'd say let's see your work...I'll do another video at Christmas...

Love the false tenon idea. Nice video. Happy wife, happy life! And if woodturning can make her happy too, all the better.
Thanks...indeed happy wife.😀 I'll do another at Christmas...and I've got an idea for more animals 😀 cheers
I do have to get round to making these chaps some point. Love them Chris. Great work.
They are lots of fun and very easy
Made my first two ever! Working on more. Thanks for showing glue up..
That's great...gave a look at my other penguin video's....
My first time stopping by and I enjoyed. I will give these a try. Not sure how well I will do with the eyes...hmmm. Peace be with you
Thanks...I have recently done a penguin video if you like check it out...thanks for watching 😀

Not showing this to my wife or I'd have to make a few myself. Lol!! 😎
Nice one Chris, they are really cute.
You know they are easy...get yourself some brownie points...cheers
👍I like them a lot! 👏👏👏 Hello😊
Thanks they are popular 😀
Great little creations Chris. Think I will have a go myself for this Christmas! By the way, what is the music?
Thanks fir watching...I've done a recent penguin video...last week in fact...much the same just different shapes...cheers 😀
The music is in the video description: flowers by sakura girl i believe
This is my most watched video.....I lost the copyright so I don't get any revenue from it.....if you like penguins I've dove a recent video.....also I'm doing a Robin for tomorrow....half turned half carved...cheers
Have fun ....its flowers by sakura girl.
It should be in the wordy bit....I've recently done some more penguins
They have deleted half your message.....they probably don't want me to know......

@@ultrawoody1968 I’m the same, just in the glue up process of a Celtic knot pice. 🤞🏻
I've tried a celtic knot and failed
Ya should have used African blackwood. Just a tiny bit more in price

If in doubt get the blowlamp out....I don't get to the shop much...bit far away...but I have seen it there...I will try it
I Love making penguins! Nice project, Chris. Well done on the growing subs 🥰🌲🦊🥰
Cheers...its nice to see them go up
Enjoyed the video they are very realistic with the contrasting woods. May I what adhesive you use to attach the false tenon?
Thanks for watching it hot glue....i microwave after to make it soft..it just pulls
off.
Very unique and beautiful!! What was your finish ? Thank you VERY much.

That's excellent work and a perfect size, could you please give me the sizes of the timber used for the main body of the penguins, thank you .
I made them from scrap wood I had lying around...the walnut was 165x65x62 and the maple was 50x100....have fun...
What would you say is the size of your blank before you start turning?
I've got one here it's 165 x63x63...
Is that in cm?@@ultrawoody1968

Sure 😀 I used the wood I had that governed the size...130x70x70 plus a glue block to hold it...thanks for watching 😀
Thank you
This is a very weird question probably. But what measurement did you use when you said 130 by 70 by 70?
@buglady1952 millimeters or 13x7 centimetres
@buglady1952 the size doesn't matter....just make it look good by your eye

Hey Ultrawoody. I'm just starting out. What is the first solution you put on? a sanding sealer? And the next one.. Briwax?
