Woodturning - A Little Something Different
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a slab of kiln dried oak into a small three legged stool for my son.
When woodturning a piece like i find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl (little bowl) but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

Perfect. A bloke in his workshop making something and no music. Most enjoyable.
Much appreciated Jeff. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Refreshing isn’t it. Great work
Even when there's music, it's not music.More like junk that can distort your concentration.
How about the Doors, Break on Through to the Other Side? Which he shouldn't have done. How daft.
@@johnbishop5316 John, please cope harder.
In junior high and high school I absolutely LOVED woodworking. Took every class available,plus a self study to build a. Major project. The lathe was, by far, my favorite shop tool. I could turn things for hours. Great stuff.
Do you still get chance to do much turning now Bryan? Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning no, I haven’t done any in decades. It’s fun ti live vicariously thru you, here though.
wow
Great video, best part.... no unpleasant music, just that great sound of woodworking.
Exactly! Music is far too subjective, you can listen to whatever you want while you watch. 👍🏻😉👍🏻
great
I still can’t imagine turning a square without cutting off the corners first. Amazing
I shouted NOOO! when I saw that!
Same thought.
For the life of me, I cannot grasp why folks ever do this. There are zero good reasons. Time? Much much quicker chopping corners off. In fact cutting, and even sanding to even more round I’d still way faster. Skill? Nah, no skills needed to work extremely unsafe. Easier? In no way is it easier bearing down on tool rest while feathering in tools just to stay away from the hospital.
Please for the love of god!!! Someone give me a good reason.
😂
I’v gone into depth on this topic a number of times so for this ones il keep it brief.. Bandsaws (the likely choice for that cut), take setting up for particular types of cuts.. Mine is set up for rip (long straight) cuts 90% of the time. My lathe which is the machine I use all day every day, about 60 hours per week is designed for making wooden things round.. For me it takes around 45 seconds to take this small piece of wood from square to round. It’s safe, efficient and is the best use of my time. When you consider that no matter what I did to prep this blank I’d still have to mount the piece on the lathe to true it up.. It makes no sense to do an action before that to save time unless that action took me less than say 30 seconds.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
OMG!
I never thought to live long enough to see a woodturning video that was not a bowl or vase.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Cosmo. If you liked the stool, I think you will love this one:

Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning indeed I loved it.
Thanks.
My son was in the orchestra and played base. I made him a stool once like that back about 20 years ago. Lathes are super cool tools. I used to make baseball bats for the kids. I made one 40 inches long once. Called it the Babe Ruth. Thanks.
This is lovely. I love the face that we can make things for our kids. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Great job! It's almost hypnotizing watching someone woodwork. Just watching is what originally got me in to the craft/trade.
I couldn’t agree more TJ. It is hypnotic isn’t it. Glad you liked it man. 😁👍🏻
I cannot watch anything without doing something with my hands at the same time. But when I watch these videos, especially well made ones with no yapping and music, then I don’t need to do anything else… just enjoy it.
Glad to hear it P. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
I'm just a person who TH-cam has directed to your channel, I have no skills with wood, but I do very much appreciate watching an expert at his craft.
The darker wood for wedges was a nice touch.
I would love to learn this skill, but at 66 and recovering from a broken wrist, I'll just stick to watching you videos. Thanks.
How did you break your wrist T?
@@JackMackWoodturning walking the dog, 5.15am, beautiful morning and admiring the star's, no breeze.
Not paying attention to the dog, he dashed away, I held onto the lead. Got swung around, landed on wrist.
Still holding on to lead.
No one's fault, but carried on with walk, holding a torch in damaged hand, dog lead in other.
Finished another 5km over dangerous terrain, then had to wait 2 hour's for the local a&e to open.
I love it. As soon as you made the marks for the holes, i knew what it was going to be.
I really loved the part where you used the wood shavings to smooth out and polish the legs. I’ve not seen that done before. It was really effective! Thanks for the great video 😀
Thank you. That process is referred to as burnishing. It can also be done with fine wire wool if the shaving are not suitable.
I appreciate you watching.
came here for this comment and the response. i assumed it was called burnishing, but wasn't sure if there might be a separate term due to the method. absolutely brilliant
@@JackMackWoodturning so that is just a handful of the shavings from the pile? Or is it a mixture from several different pieces?
My dad, who is approaching 86, used to do that all the time when using his lathe. Maybe an older skill. However, I learnt from my dad, so I do it as well.......
Finally! A wood turner who concentrates on the imbalance of the piece, before the form!
I am learning as much from your responses to comments as from the original video. Thank you for responding to comments with sincerity and patience!
Thanks Barry, I try to most the time but sometimes I loose my cool a little. Where possible I try to share my years of experience with those who want to learn.
Always happy to answer any questions you might have
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Fabricating made hand items for the little ones always brings such joy. Great video even better item for the little man
😍👍🏻
Lathe made*
Lol nothing hand made about this
I learned more from your non-verbal video than I have from many verbal ones. You have amazing techniques. I love how you handle your lathe tools.
Much appreciated FKP. Glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
I love the nice little details. Like making sure the wedges were perpendicular to the grain for strength. And the way you get that polish finish when turning!
Well spotted Chris. You know your wood. Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
Beautiful piece! A child's heirloom stool built by Dad. Nice to see it still being done. The video was very satisfying to watch. Thank you for no music.
Don't waste oak trim. Cut off corners and use as pen blanks or with resin.
Thanks for the kind words. I don’t make pens. I find them to be the most boring and simple things anyone could ever make on a lathe. It bores the arse off me just thinking about turning a pen.
I don’t cut corners off one off pieces because iv been turning for more years than I care to say and iv learnt that “saving” little scraps of wood is utterly pointless and leads to a very messy workshop. Shavings on the other hand have so many uses. I do absolutely keep off cuts from nice wood, but I’d absolutely not ever turn two simple pipes to attach to a pre made pen body kit. I literally can’t think of anything less rewarding and more boring 😆
Endlessly you can look at how water flows, fire burns and another person works))
😊😊👍🏻👍🏻🙌🙌👌🏻👌🏻
4 bits of wood can make something so simple and elegant. 👌🏻
😊
I would have never dared turning down a square. Masterful work. Love it.
Thanks PF. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😉
I love how this is really all just a virtual object in the worker's head, slowly coming out of thought and into the real world. I'm amazed at the precision just from freehanding. :-)
Thanks NR. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
Very nice, anyway fun to see somebody take raw material and make something with it. It's amazing how the varnish brings out the inherent beauty of the material in the end
Much appreciated Nochtczar. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Always amazing to see craftsmen creating art and functional pieces!
Cheers Buckshot. Glad you enjoyed it man ☺️👍🏻
Учите русский язык мы вас научим делать лучше этого дуралея. Шипов на видимой части изделия быть не должно.
I love watching sawdust fly, especially in slomo! It’s like snow without the cold! 😉
What a nice image. Sure there is an idea for a video in there somewhere 😉👍🏻
That looks like such a great footrest, or stool for a child. The oil really made the grain pop. Lovely.
I made it for my son but he is outgrowing it already! I think I will buy a cow and use it for milking. 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning There ya go! Always have a backup plan.
I didn't know what I was signing up for when I clicked this video but I'm really glad I did. It was fascinating watching the piece come together and eventually figuring out what you were making! Really great work.
Nice one TCC. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching ☺️👍🏻
Beautiful! It's amazing how a craftsman can look at some assorted wood and see a beautiful piece of furniture.
Cheers Michael. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 😉👍🏻
I didn't expect that he would turn square into round amazing 👍
❣️🥰 Love from India 🇮🇳🥰❣️
Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
I have done this. After I draw my target circle I cut the corners off in the bandsaw. Much faster and easier on the equipment.

@@JackMackWoodturning I have to admit I was thinking like Will, but your explanation makes perfect sense when you think about time. Great channel and inspirational work.
@@JackMackWoodturning this brief explain a lot, thanks 😀
If that way makes sense for your situation, great, but Ill continue to either spend 30 seconds on a band saw cutting the circle close (Im lucky enough to have a table saw for ripping, my band saw is for curves.) or at least cutting off the corners into a hexagon. Yes, it's an extra step, A. I hate interrupted cuts on the lathe, it just feels unpleasant. B. I like variety I'd rather do 2 steps for 5 minutes each than one for 10 minutes C. I really do not enjoy sharpening lathe tools. Not really a right or wrong just what works for a person.
You can still cut the corners off with just any bandsaw blade no matter what it’s setup for. Just laziness and unsafe practices.
This is exactly why I am interested in beginning wood turning, to be able to make things for my future grandkids. I figure if I start now I may at least have some idea of what I'm doing when they are born. My kids are only 16(son) and 14(girl) so hopefully I have plenty of time to learn. 😉
Cheers Rick. I appreciate you watching.
I love this comment.. it sounds to me like THE most perfect reason to get into wood turning.
I can’t recommend it more as a hobby, you get instant results,, but the path of learning woodturing is a fascinating one too.. it’s very more’ish. In the next 10 years you could be a master at the craft. There’s no time like the present.
Feel free to fire any questions at me as you start your journey.
Enjoy 😊👍🏻

I subbed just because of this comment.
Fickle, please listen up, you need to be VERY GLAD you will have grandkids because my only blood son went down that damn gay road. I wish you all the best sir, but please be grateful.
It’s lovely to here your sons so happy Chuck. 😊
Ну да мастерство не пропьешь... ... здоровья!!!!
My father was a keen amateur wood turner when he was younger. He's now in his 90s so doesn't do it any more. the sound of the machinery and cutting still takes me back though.
I do have one question though; Why did you take out the disc underneath only to then replace it with another? was this to stop the main disc from warping?
The part your are referring to is a recess, it’s used to hold the wood on the lathe via the “Chuck”, which is the silver part that the wood attaches to.. The recess is used to hold the wood while I work on the opposite face of the piece. Once it’s work is done it’s filled to avoid any sharp edges added on the finished piece.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Great idea and design. I really liked how you used the ebony shims for decoration and strength. I will try this one out. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Ralph, much appreciated, 😁👍🏻
Great to see someone who shows that he really can turn by not using those xxx carbide tools continuously - and agree, no irritating, monotonous music.
Are there people calling themselves woodturners who use those awful things ?
Imagine going to a physician for an appointment with this. "Ok Doc, I brought you a stool sample".
😂😂
Doctor: “your stool is so smooth and shiny” 😂
😂😂😂
Man that'd be a crap joke
He'd say lay off the fiber.
What a cute little table for a cute little kid.
😊👍🏻
That is a very cool quartersaw white oak stool💪💪💪🪑🚪🪚🔨📐🇺🇸🙏👨🏻🦯👨🏻🦯
Nice one Scott! 😁👍🏻😉
Inspiring little step stool! Can’t wait to try this on my own. Thanks for posting it.
No problem Nick. Let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
Главное чтобы маленький заказчик был доволен! 🙂
Absolutely brilliant - boy would I like a little workshop like that. Above all I’d like his skill to even do anything!
Nice one RP. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😊😉
I can really feel the chips in my eyes. 3:08 points for the immersive experience.
Haha thanks SE. Make sure you always wear your safety glasses. Thanks for 😁👍🏻
That was very interesting to watch, thats a stool which will last a very long time. beautifully done. I would say you have mastered it.
Thanks Maxine. That was the plan, hopefully my grandkids, grandkids, grandkids will sit on it one day. 😁👍🏻😉
Nice stool. A design feature I like is to taper the legs from some point along their length down to where they touch the floor. This gives the stool a graceful look.
Nice work!! I don’t like to be critical but I have symmetry ocd and just wished the wedges all pointed either to center or horizontal to it. New subscriber. Keep it up
Exactly, why? why? 😫
Because each wedge is perpendicular to the grain of the wood, which is the correct way to make a wedges joint that will last a lifetime and more.
Really nice! Picked up a wood lathe yesterday 2nd hand with a crap ton of tools. Also, I wish he would have turn all the wedges in the top of legs to where they are all pointing inward towards the center of stool. Would have added just that tiny extra custom touch of detail
Cheers Matt.. lots of people say that about the wedges but if you were
To put a wedge into a wood In any way other than perpendicular to the grain of the seat you risk splitting the top, worse still wood compresses when force is applied to side grain, meaning over time that joint would definitely fail.
The extra touches of detail in wood working come from knowledge my friend.. not style over substance 🤙🏻
Hi Jack, thank you to remember us that wood turning was first an utilitarian use. 😉👍
No problem Jean-Louis. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😉
Great work and design that respects the natural beauty of the wood.
Nice one BB. I’m glad you think so. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
Your attention to detail is refreshing to watch. Thank you for your quality workmanship!
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it

I started the video to check it out... 12 minutes later and im still here. Good stuff
Well, happy days.. glad you enjoyed it my friend
Красиво при любви к процессу.. но слишком заморочено для детской табуретки.
Why did you remove wood from underside center then replace it with another disc ?
Hi, thanks for watching.
That’s a recess used for holding the wood on the lathe, the jaws of the Chuck expand into the internal walls of the recess to give a good firm hold. it was then filled with a matching plug for aesthetic reasons but also because the stool was made for my very young son and I didn’t want sharp edges anywhere on the piece.
Hope that helps 🙂👍🏻
Not to pick nits, or perhaps others have brought this up already, but the splines are not asthetically pleasing.
My OCD would never allow me to do what was done. Just as all of the visible screws in my home must point straight up or be parallel with the floor (in different rooms, for obvious reasons) I would have aligned them to point toward the center of the seat, or made buttons to fill the tops of those holes.
Not that you asked for my critique but it is a very lovely piece. Beautiful even.
Please don't forget to sign and date it, with for whom it was made. So in 80 years time when the great-great grandkid gets it it will have a complete provenance!
I have several things from 4 of my great-grandparents which have pride of place at my house! At some point my great-grandkids will get them. My g-grand mother, who I knew well, was born in 1870, and my g-grandchild in 2018. Which is 7 generations and a 150 year span of time!
It would be nice if your piece was still in use in 150 years and that each generation knew who made it and who it was made for! IMHO.
Thanks for your comment. Very lovely.
The alignment of the wedges is in essence the thing that could make this stool last 7 generations 🤞🏻
Expanding a joint in any direction other than perpendicular to the gain of the seat would cause the pressure to split or weaken that wood.
I’m sorry to hear of your disorder.. (which seems an odd word to use when describing OCD) you must find it terribly difficult, and harder still when you read the other comments on this video where people refer to “their OCD” as a reason for wanting the wedges to be pointing to the centre.
Il be sure to date said stool.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
@@JackMackWoodturning
Damn! You have thought of everything! ( the direction of the wedges).
@@deavman I can’t take any credit.. people have been making seats/stools/chairs in this way for centuries, wood working is all about learning from the guys who came before. They knew what was what. 😊👍🏻
Been turning 3 leg milk stools many years. Still picked up at least half a dozen good tips from this video. Plus the bowl gouge work is outstanding. How you handle the tool worth watching alone. Thanks
Отличная работа! Браво!
👍🏻
As a machinist, this terrified me when I saw him put the chisel to the turning corners with his hand, big no-no when working with metal, especially with those corners so far out from the center. But I guess with wood it's fine, as this guy's hand isn't missing like it would be with metal. 😅
Just as well it is oak and not steel 😁👍🏻😉
No, it's not okay even though it's wood. Bad habits make for bad injuries.
It’s not a bad habit matey. It’s a completely safe practice. Stick to what you know eh 👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning yeah, I figured as much if you were doing it, it just scared me at first is all I'm saying
@@gabrielp1306 understandable mate. But I assure you it’s not dangerous, it is if you pop your finger in there but it goes with out saying that you don’t cross the line of the toolrest.
Turning a square this size is not different than a circle of a larger size.
Check out this video to see what I mean.

Certainly a level of ability to aspire to!

Углы дощечки можно отпилить а потом точить. Отличная работа 👍.
Нужно. Автору повезло что дерево не порвало, резец не отлетел, руки и другие части тела остались целы.
Beautiful work, fabulous explanations to Qs in comments. May your son get much use & pleasure from the stool. Made with 🧡.
Thank you JHF, that means a lot. 😊👍🏻
I so enjoy your channel. That finish you added by using the wood shavings I had no idea that was done. Oh, and thanks for not saying in the title what you’re making. I really enjoy figuring it out as you go. 👍
Cheers Sandy. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
Love the finished touch with the dark pieces for wedges, sets it off beautifully. Cheers from NZ👍
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it man 👍🏻😉
I like the trick of burnishing the wood with the shavings
Beautiful! Next time you might point the wedges diagonally in toward the center so they are symmetrical.
Seriously. All that work and just one detail missing.
This would create a weak stool James. I built it to last. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning hello, not a wood worker here, how would that affect the strength of the chair? Grain structures not lining up?
@@madhattermd1 you have to put the wedges in going perpendicular to the grain so it won’t force the grain apart over time
there’s gotta be better words to describe it but i can’t word right now, too early
@@mikieswart made sense to me!
Уважаемый автор, будь осторожен, все же не стоит так доталкивать пальцами между пилой, на счет этого я даже по ту сторону экрана был в ужасе. Это же очень опасно.

Sorry I have no way of translating this
I love this little stool. I am assuming the disc you glued into the bottom is to prevent the wooden top from splitting later. What a great idea. Beautiful job! Thx!
The part your are referring to is a recess, it’s used to hold the wood on the lathe via the “Chuck”, which is the silver part that the wood attaches to.. The recess is used to hold the wood while I work on the opposite face of the piece. Once it’s work is done it’s filled to avoid any sharp edges added on the finished piece.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
The craftsmanship and attention to detail are so impressive. Beautiful work!
Nice one B. Love the tux!
Using woodshavings to polish the wood was a cool idea.
Edit: I have to know, why did you cut out a disc shape into the bottom of the table; only to fill it again with a disc of wood?
It appears to me that was used as a point to attach the lathe while working on it.
@@DonTruman aaaah that's a neat idea
Yo Tom. This is called burnishing. Worth a Google.

@DonTruman Exactly!!
I'd never thought of using the shavings as a final polish. Very interesting technique. I assume it transfers some of the oil, and also fills microcracks.
I don’t believe it dose either. It simply buffs the surface. I have read a number of papers on the function of burnishing over the years. Many different options of how it works. But the same outcome can be achieved with fine wire wool so I’m sure there is no transfer of oil or filling going on. It is the same buffed surface you see when the bevel of a gouge has been pushed into wood during a cut.
@@JackMackWoodturning Hrmm, when I use steel wool or an Emory cloth, I generally see tiny bits of material transfer.
I think I will have to experiment with this method to see how it works.
if only my shop wasn't already too full of projects. But then, without projects, I suppose I wouldn't need a shop.
Where in the video is the technique you're referring to?
@@NikhilWolf Near the end where he's using the sawdust/shavings to polish the workpiece.

Yeah he loved it. 😊
Thanks for watching Judith
I thought the video was complete, until I seen the sweet sweet baby.
Congratulations!
I did wood work toys for my children that they plan in handing down to their children (when they have some)
I do counted cross stitching as well to keep the fingers working.
I will still do wooden toys for when I do have grand babies, but until then, cross stitch’s for my adult kids👍🏼🙂
Thats great to hear DJ. No better feeling than building something for your family that you know will last many lifetimes. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
This would look great in our nursery.
Thanks Jane. 🤔 😜
Beautiful it is getting hard to get quarter sawn lumber without paying an arm and a leg for it you made good use of the small piece y you had 👍
Iv got tons of it bill. Generally I cut and dry it myself and they tend to be short boards. But it’s also readily available from suppliers round here too.
Seems all timber is shooting up in price at the moment too, but isn’t it always 🙄
Cheers for watching 😊👍🏻

Simply beautiful. Love the quarter sawn wood.
Thanks, I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
Hopefully that will be a piece that will be passed down from generation to generation and also the skill set along the way!
Me too, I’m sure the stool will but I can’t say for sure my son will want to turn wood. It would be nice if he did 😊
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Absolutely lovely. An heirloom that should last generations.
And here I thought you had cows to milk. :) (But that would typically be a one-legged stool.)

All that's missing is the cow. Good work.
🤣🤣
Thank you 😊👍🏻
I guess a LOT of people have never seen or even heard of a milking stool?
Well this comment confused me before Id finished the video and found out what it was
I can't even imagine the delicate touch and years of experience that you'd have to have to turn a piece that has holes in it without fucking it up. incredible video! thanks!

Трудовик собрал табуретку. Ну прям 314дец видео! 😸
Wow, a three legged stool. Amazing. How has mankind survived without this?. My life was incomplete. I'm soooo glad this was not a complete waste of time!
Awesome man me too. It would be awful if you had don’t something that was a waste of time.
3 legged stools are about the oldest piece of furniture going.. so there another thing you gained from this..
Happy days eh 😘
9:40 Perhaps a little obsessive, but I would’ve aimed all the wedges toward the center.
Wedging a joint like this causes expansion, if you expand a piece of wood parallel to the grain to the wood you will split the wood down the grain, just like putting an axe into a log..
The strongest way to wedge a joint like this is perpendicular to the grain.
Any rotation away from 90 degrees will begin to expand the wood in a direction that could weaken it or cause it to split.
This stool was for my 15 month old som so strength and stability was the aim of the game. ( he’ll probably still manage to break it 😆)
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning That’s why YOU have a TH-cam channel, and I don’t. Good point!
😆 thanks. Appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning that makes total sense, I'll let my OCD rest on this one 😁
@@simpleau2 and my OCD can't rest until there is an uneven gap, coused by the angle with wich legs are joining the flat part of the stool.
Can any one tell me the point of the center circular piece?
To me it looks like extra work for no reason
Mainly for looks. He was filling in the area he had to clear out for work holding. He could have left it open but he seems to have wanted a smooth looking final product.
I thought the same glad you cleared that up. thanks
esp since it's on the UNDERSIDE of the finished piece...
This stool is for my 15 month old son so I didn’t want any sharp edges.
Thank you all for watching 😊👍🏻
I think your just trying to understand woodturning when you don’t understand woodturing. I’d say it’s probably not a seizure.. il explain it for you….
A Chuck is the part on the lathe that holds the wood. It holds on a recess like the one being discussed here. While holding a piece like this you can only fully work the other side. Which is why you see me cut one on either side of the top. One of the recesses is turned away to form the dip in the top of the stool the other side is plugged to avoid having any sharp edges on the underside of the stool, it being on the underside of the stool would not be an issue for a stool destined to be used solely by adults but if youv ever seen a toddler interact with an object you’ll know that underside or not they will find the dangerous part and likely hurt them selves on it. Hence the reason for “covering up the recess used to hold the piece on the Chuck.”
Hope that helps.
This takes me back to my first year as an apprentice carpenter & joiner when we had to produce several items to a very high standard that it on average took 1st year apprentices at least 6 months to be able to finish the items to a high enough quality to be able to learn how to finish all of the items ready for them to French Polished. It took me 6 months to get my items prepared properly to be able to polish them. I hated having to keep doing everything until it was perfect and I though the French Polisher was just giving me a hard time because he could.That is until I saw what the finishing & polishing did to everything I had made. I learned so much in those 6 months that my head ached but it has stayed with me for all these years.
Have you made much stuff recently?
Stool sample?! Seriously, love the work. And I echo the need for push sticks. Keep your fingers!
Hey Epharston, I do condone the use of push sticks and have used them in other video’s. I didn’t deem it necessary in this case. The angle makes it look more unsafe than it actually is. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻

Beautiful piece. Could you recommend a budget lathe and drill press? Want to get into doing pieces like this but it gets expensive fast.

Some pretty affordable stuff with these guys. Could be worth looking at second hand options though. 👍🏻
А лобзиком сначала круг выпилить или хотябы углы спилить у квадрата вера не позволяет?
Согласен, лишнее время и ресурс.
There's that stool sample my Dr. wants!!
He he he
Hi Jack, loved the video! I've never seen someone use wood shavings to "sand" while turning. Does that give a different result than the sandpaper/steel wool you use elsewhere in the video? I would be worried about burning my hand from the friction if I tried it.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for watching. The process is called burnishing and is the same as using fine wire wool. On a wood like oak which is high in tannin the wire wood can cause issues with causing black spots, shavings work just as well but I’d generally only use shavings from kiln dried wood.
Hope that helps 😊🤙🏻
