- Welcome to this weeks woodturning video.
Woodturning - I Maxed Out My Lathe !!
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a large spalted beech log into a beaded vase.
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.
If you find these videos entertaining I’d appreciate you like, share and subscribe.

HEY. Thanks for watching
Tell me below where in the world are you all watching from??
Il kick off.
Northeast England
Wisconsin
France. Merci pour tout ça!
Austria (not where the kangaroos are) 😅
No kangaroos in Austria ??
It will always amaze me how on earth can this be done, the weight of the wood would scare me never mind working on it. A true peace of art, I realise that it’s not simple to do as you seem to make it look. Well done it’s fantastic.
😂gtw,namaste namaste
With as many cross sections you did, I expected a more varied grain pattern in the end, but this project came out awesome all the same. I love watching you use your skew, because that is one lathe chisel I was never able to use effectively back when I was a "junior high aged master lathesman" (age adjusted of course). After clearing the bulk of material with my gouge, my go to for smoothing, even on a straight run, was the roundnose. My instructor was amazed at the smooth lines I could maintain with the roundnose and called me the most skilled tool man he had ever seen, and then laughed at me for not being able to effectively use the proper tool for the job...a skew lol. I have not turned a piece of wood in almost 40 years, but this brought back a lot of fond memories of all the lamps, bowls and other things I made in my early teens.
It sounds to me like you need to get a small lathe and get that skew Chile’s locked down vince. 😊.. what about it did you struggle with?
متاسفانه تکه ها رو که وصل کرد نتوانست محو کند خط ها ماند
I believe it to be fairly scary to have a life 100kg object rotating and wobbling in front of you at high speeds
At first I was wondering what you were making, then I saw it's a wine glass. Very cool!!
At first, I was thinking it would be an oversized goblet...ho hum...THEN POW 💥 it turns into a STUNNING articulated vase with one of the best wood figures I have ever seen!!!!! Superb visionary craftsmanship!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you. Do you do any woodworking?
Jack, no sadly, I do not turn wood. I’m just a wanna-be turner. Love watching the art being worked though 😃
This is a great wood project book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.
In what way ?
There’s something mesmerising about the sight and sounds of the art of woodturning on a lathe - especially wet wood and sharp tools, as a kid I would sit and watch my dad turn for hours and once I learned I really enjoyed the process - it scratches an itch for me
Nice one man! What sort of pieces are you making?

Florida, here. Beautiful work!
So glad you enjoyed it. How’s Florida today ?
Beading the vase not only looks great, it also makes the joints where it was put back together after being hollowed out practically unnoticeable! Amazing work!!
You got it frog 👍🏻 thanks for watching 😉
@@JackMackWoodturning lii.p
Forgive my ignorance, but is it skill that allows you to have the spacing of the beading consistent along the length of the piece? I didn't see any markings.
The marking is done by the forming of the bead, in that one begins whet the other left off. Dose that make sense?
It's fun when you get it slowed down just enough that its rotation is roughly a factor of your camera's FPS, so it looks like the block is standing still while you carve into it :)
Yeah can get some great footage with the correct ratio’s. Hard to do it intentionally though as the lathe speed fluctuates as soon as the chisel makes contact 👍🏻😊😉
@@JackMackWoodturning *
I watched the entire video and didn't see that once.. It appeared to stutter or slow down many times, but never looked like it wasn't moving.
It has happened a lot on video’s but I can’t remember specifically which ones. There are some when the wood appears to change direction as well. Similar to a helicopter propellor.
@@JackMackWoodturning rrre~get
As a fellow woodworker - though not a lathe user - I take my hat off to you. That was cleverly done and a brilliant result.
My first time EVER seeing anything like this. I’m intrigued and just amazed. Again I’ve NEVER seen anything like this. Astounding.🥰
Cheers for stopping by Lisa. Have you watched any of my other videos? I feel if you like this you’ll like my others 👍🏻
I'm not even into woodworking and yet I'm glad TH-cam recommended this. I'm amazed by the 3-dimensional planning needed to turn such a large piece on the lathe. Outstanding craftsmanship! 😎👍
Thanks M. Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Merry Christmas 🎅 😊
Wood turning is so magical.
This piece kept on reminding me of the CPU in the original TRON; the way that it spins until the rotation matches the frame rate, and the pattern in the wood appears to become stationary.
Yeah nice! Have you seen the new one?
i have was a really good movie better than I thought it would be
Just got my first lathe for Christmas from my wife and kids. As it is used, I am currently restoring it and this is good inspiration!
Nice man that’s great. Have you turned anything yet?
@@JackMackWoodturning yes there was a small log in the boxes of stuff it came with and I made a few shapes on it to check out the tools.
Nice job, I'm from Brazil.
Jack, as a new wood turner I watched this many (many) times. I was fascinated in the process of building the tenons and putting it all back together. I have now tried this and managed to get a fairly similar end result but my vase is about 10" shorter than yours. Thanks for the help and now I am confident enough to try some of your other projects and a few of my own originals. I am very much enjoying the world of wood turning!
Great stuff G. Let me know any time if you have any questions. 👍🏻😊
Q
@@JackMackWoodturning no;.
That is one amazing vase! I really admire the way you sectioned it off, to hollow it, and then put it all back together, to finish it. Thanks for the lesson on how to turn enormous objects!
No probs Steph. Thanks for watching 😊😉👍🏻
Washington State, USA... as someone who’s barely dabbled on a lathe in the past, I have great respect for your skills & craftsmanship. That’s a beautiful piece of artwork right there 🍻
Thanks Scott. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😊😉
Россия, Краснодар. Как человек, который никогда не работал на токарном станке, я вообще в восторге)
Türkiye’den selamlar 🤚🏼Sizi yeni keşfettim.Tasarımlar 🤩 harika
This just goes to prove beyond doubt that, “even if you are left-handed” - you can still become a World-Class Lathe Master🏆🇺🇸
Haha thanks Dan. Much appreciated buddy 👊😊😉
Watching an artist turn raw materials into things of beauty fascinates everyone. Thanks for adding to our learning pleasure.
Thanks so much for that. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Quite possible the best technique I have ever seen. Magnificent work of art. A million votes .
Stunning result from what I initially thought was a video on how to chisel a huge log into shavings! Awesome to watch for a layman.
Nice one T. Glad you enjoyed it man 👍🏻😊😉
Эмоции через край! Приятно смотреть на работу МАСТЕРА,завораживает,просто СУПЕР!!!
Sorry I have no way of translating this
@@JackMackWoodturning He said -It's nice to look at the work of the MASTER, fascinating, just SUPER!!!
Beautiful. I was devastated and lost when you segmented it, but it turned out amazing and segmenting it was so smart. I turned wood (small pieces, still learning) for a short time when I was in high school but gave it up when my mentor died. I loved it, but wouldn't even know where to begin again at this point (almost 20 years later).
Get a lathe . Get stuck in . Life is short. Why spend it NOT turning wood 🤙🏻😎
Same here. Last time was high school shop in 98. Just got a lathe, getting back to it. Do it man, you won't regret it, but you might regret not doing it.
Great advice Calvin 👍🏻
It's fascinating to watch this object take shape!
Обожаю смотреть на токарку. Вроде ничего сложного,но нет,просто волшебство какое то.
Gorgeous, again a beautiful piece of wood art. The amount of skill you have is remarkable.
Thanks Nance. What sort of dog do you have?
Parabéns. grande artista. Eu fui torneiro mecãnico durante 57 anos, não maquinava madeira mas sim... aço e outros materiais ferrosos. Mais uma vez parabéns, Um abraço. Gostei muito do seu trabalho.
HYPNOTIC!!
Absolutely brilliant
Thanks Kev. What would you keep inside?
Nothing that shows Jack, it’s too nice a piece of art in its own right!
If I had to choose something it would be £20 notes as a secret savings bank 😉
Great work and thank you for sharing 👌🏻
Absolutely gorgeous! It's beautiful. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy these videos. I love woodworking, though never had a skill for it. I like the fact that you don't have music or voice, just the beauty and magic of the turning. Thank you.
Thank you. I’m really thrilled you enjoy my videos so much. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Exact
So mesmerising to watch such skill! Lovely and beautiful.
Much appreciated L. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
From Isle of Wight. UK
A beautiful place in the world. You lucky devil 👍🏻
That's a huge log!
The cutting tool makes an awesome sound when sculpting this work of art.
Love the ribbons of wood that flies off as your cutting each layer.
Looks like you got quite the workout with this piece!
Beautiful work!
Thank you. All the hard work was before the video. Lot of effort just getting it to the workshop and up onto the lathe. Il not be doing another this size any time soon 🤣

Wow. So amazing to see great work like this from the left-handed community.
I could watch these all day!! I wish I would have learned this earlier in my life! I'd love to at least learn n try this. Everything I watch turns out absolutely beautiful! I'm sure there's plenty of F Ups that don't make it! But the ones that do, make for wonderful ideas when I decide to try which ones I'll try n do 1st! Lol bravo! bravo!
Nice one.. why don’t you buy yourself a small lathe and have a go?? Have you done any wood tuning before??
Jack this is another surprise piece of art it looks gorgeous, awesome talent 👏 bravo !! Sir. Take care thanks 😊
Thanks Jose. Glad you enjoyed it as always my friend. 😉👍🏻☺️

watching from Egypt🇪🇬❤️
Really well done! I liked it a lot more without all the bands but that's just personal preference but all in all really nice work
Thanks D. The beading was to disguise the seams 👍🏻😊
Yeah, that was a really aesthetically pleasing wood pattern...
I was so confused when you cut it but I guess you just gotta trust the process cause it looks amazing!
Thank you

Fascinating video! Simply mesmerizing watching you work; I just kept thinking how I would really love to get my hands on a lathe. I only used one once about 40 years ago in high school, now that I’m retired, I’d love to return to wood working. Thanks for sharing - P.S. I’m from Ottawa, Canada.
Ah man that sounds like a great plan. You have no shortage of wood there. Carpe diem my fiend. 👍🏻😉
That was absolutely amazing! You sir have an advanced skill set.
Thanks Larry, iv been doing this professionally for quite some time. How long have you been Turing for ?
Thanks for sharing this turning it is an amazing piece of furniture that you completed thank you for letting us watch what you do and how you're doing. It gave me some good ideas on how to do something that I had no idea how to do and I've been doing this stuff for 50 years. Best regards from Bob, Virginia USA
Thanks Bob my friend. Glad you like the piece 😊👍🏻
Круто. Отличная работа! В школе очень любил предмет Труды, там на станках тоже делали разные вещи, конечно не такие большие, поменьше. Супер
I think you've outdone yourself on this one. The beading makes it appear woven only more beautiful. I liked the whomping willow, much more before you painted it; I'm glad to see you make this one natural. I'd be interested in know where it ends up. Thanks for sharing.
Howdy EG. It has ended up living at the workshop. No cracks as of yet and I am hopeful it will remain intact. The walls are thin and even and it is drying very slowly. 😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning, Oh, I'm hopeful for you, she is a beauty. I don't know much about turning but what I've observed, your piece was ton of work. Here's hoping she remains beautiful in one piece. God Bless You an Yours. Happy Holidays.
@@JackMackWoodturning, how's the Beauty doing?
@@JackMackWoodturning how does she look?
I'd give it an 8/10.
I deducted 2 points for it not being in my living room. :D
Absolutely awesome piece.
Haha not fair. 🙏😉
This was a delight to watch! The final product is beautiful, unique and phenomenally crafted!
Thank you for the kind words . Is this the first time you have watched on of my videos?
@@JackMackWoodturning Yes. TH-cam suggested a few others about a week ago. They are so addictive. I watch them for hours on end. This is the first one of yours I've watched. I'm going to watch the rest.
Writing from Philadelphia Pa this video is awesome the vase you created looks like it from ancient Egypt.
Thanks
Have you watched my latest video?

Hats off to your creativity and hard work in creating this vase👍
Much appreciated 😉👍🏻
Good to see Green wood on the lathe , not many seem to use it .
Makes life so much easier , can be tricky to take a finish though .
Good work (and very sharp tools) 👍

You also maxxed out the potential that was hidden in the log!
Nice work in matching the grain in the re-assembly! The beaded finish was genius!
As you can see, I'm catching up on your older content!
...and BTW, I'm watching from Crane Hill, Alabama!
Keep doing what you love!
Nice one RL. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 😊👍🏻👌🏻
I've done some wood turning...but nothing like this. This guy knows his stuff! Brilliant workmanship!
Nice one DJ. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😊
When you sawed off the first piece at 5:34 i was like noooo what are you doing to the vase🥺😂

Nice one ST. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊😉
Wow! Gorgeous. I love that you let the changes in the wood show up in the designs. Nice job, from Kansas!
Nice one B. Thanks for watching 😊😉
This is freaking awesome!! A piece of art.
Thanks buddy.

I never get tired of watching wood carving videos. Each one is a work of art in progress.
Amazing work! I'm not crazy about the yellow finish personally but other that, awesome piece
Nice one Amos. Much appreciated 👍🏻😉
Dude, you are a woodworking magician! You have some kind of magical superpower when it comes to making something out of nothing from wood. All I have to say is you are awesome and you deserve all the praise for the good work you do. I’ve never seen your channel before this is my first time, and I’m just completely blown away at how good you are.
Very much appreciated DB. Always room for improvement though. Got some nice ideas for the new video’s I will be making. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😊😉
Interesting recommendation by TH-cam.
Although sir, He who made Jack and created wood deserves all praise..
You are gifted Jack, be grateful to Him who gifted you with all you have and to Him is your return..
What you have just showed us is absolutely brilliant Jack, It's a work of art and looks fantastic. You are a Very Very talented man.
Much appreciated Ken. Thanks for watching man 👍🏻😊
@@JackMackWoodturning Amazing what you did.
Dedication is what you call that. Woow. Congratulations. Job well done
Thanks Sue. Much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Beautiful piece! I’m new to turning but hope that I can make something this remarkable someday! Very impressed from Ohio!
Thanks SA. I’m sure you will buddy 😉👍🏻😊
@@JackMackWoodturning 000
Well done! Love the effect the beading gives it.
Cheers Tom. Glad you enjoyed it buddy
I was blown away by your ingenious process. The finished piece is phenomenally beautiful!
Thanks Fox, a flower vase?
This is getting interesting contineu
FANTASTIC!!!!
Greetings from the Bay Area of Northern California!
Great work, I love it!!
Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
You're so talented. I loved watching this from start to finish. You make it look easy. Great job and such a stunning piece of art.
Nice one Bex. What is your profile pic?
@@JackMackWoodturning , it's just a cool, eerie tree that I liked.
Hey rebecca asl?
Your talent that you have is so amazing! ❣️👍
Amazing work! I'm not crazy about the yellow finish personally but other that, awesome piece
Gênio é gênio e ponto final! ENCANTADOR!!!
I loved it as it started to take shape. Then the lines started to go in and I panicked that the look was terrible. Then came the finish and the grain popped and I was like, "I'm over here critiquing this man like I know something!?" Beautiful!!
Haha, nice one Lee. Much appreciated.

Amazing detail! Trying to talk my wife into letting me buy a lathe because I'm a metal worker also, but I would use it for wood more than anything.
Nice! Hope she lets you Nathan! It’s great fun 😊
@@JackMackWoodturning any recommendations on a lathe for a beginner (but something that’s going to perform well for the future too, I assume I can handle something mid-serious/serious maybe even I just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it before I know whether I will truly get into it or not, but something nice enough and not cheap as to where I won’t want to use it because I don’t want to feel like I’m messing around - I like to get down and serious when I try stuff I guess so I don’t want to feel too limited by it either I suppose)… I have a 2-car garage in a townhome in Florida… so something that I could probably move with my own 26-year-old body perhaps or with minor help from my parents when they visit me… something that won’t kill me either preferably lol but I assume that is up to user discretion 😅
Convincing the wife to LET you buy a lathe. Where are your balls?

Thanks Matt. You fancy giving it a shot?
Looks fantastic. I don't know anything about woodturning, but love to watch someone make a beautiful piece of art from a stump of wood. What is the type of glue being used to glue the pieces back together? Appears to be very strong.
The glue is starbond! 😉
AMAZING!!! All that varnish put on that beautiful masterpiece with only 1(one) dip of the brush.
Skills 😆

That's one BFV! Turned out phenomenal! I think you need a small hand crane in your shop. 😄
Hi Jack. That might not be a bad plan haha. BFV? Big f**ing vase? 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning Yes Sir! LOL
Was an epic size project! Well done and well-executed. I wasn't sure about your choice to use all those beads, but they really did allow so much figure to be seen. Keep it up!
Thanks mate.. they also hide the joints. 👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning Never thought of that. I'm planning my first two piece vase or hollow form. I was planning on doing a copper wrap at the joint. I glad you mentioned it. Another option!
I’d like to see that. Do you have instagram?

This is incredible and I was gravitated to the process. I don’t do woodworking at all but I love to watch these master pieces being created. What a wonderful piece of art! I would love to own one of these!
Thanks man. Much appreciated. I will have some stuff for sale one my website soon 🤨
im watching from Wigan, Greater Manchester, UK. your design is amaze' thanks
Cheers matey
Watching from Coquille, OR. That is amazing. Really helps me appreciate the craftsmanship and what it takes to create such a beautiful piece.
Thanks S. Much appreciated 😊😉👍🏻
Awesome, the grooves were really the icing on the cake on this one 👌
Thanks AO. Much appreciated mate 😉👍🏻😊
That was totally awesome. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Thanks Sofía. I’m so glad you found it too 😊👍🏻
There is no better machine than the parallel lathe!
🍺💯👍
Excellent video
Beautifully made, what a craftsman!
Thanks R. Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏻
You really “had it” there, about mid-way--and then turned it into: Well done, but ordinary…exceptionally ordinary.
Another beautiful artwork. I wouldn't know where and how to start or what to do next. You make it look so easy. 👍
Nice one O. I’m sure you would though. Just takes a little time. You not fancy giving it a go?
Hi. I held my breath a couple of times thinking that the piece was ruined or that the grooves wouldn't look right BUT I WAS SOOOO WRONG!! you truly are a master woodcrafter with such a eagle eye for detail, precision and design. So impressed with your talent and your gift !!
Nice one B. Much appreciated. Have you worked with much wood?
@@JackMackWoodturning lol. No i never have. I think that's why i am so mesmerized (almost hypnotized!) every time i watch one of your vids. I think bcz i hv no point of reference (as far as wood work is concerned) is the reason that i get into your vids sooo deeply. Can't w8 to be able to binge watch your talent!!
Uau! Apaixonada por seu trabalho, tudo muito lindo! Brasil.
Do you speak English?
@@JackMackWoodturning she said: wow in love of your work, it's very cute! Brasil
Most excellent turning! Especially on that size, I was wondering how you were going to hollow that out, very ingenious how you handled that
Nice one Alex. Much appreciated. What sort of stuff do you play?
@@JackMackWoodturning mostly 70's hard rock and blues like BB King, Albert King, Johnny Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy
Oh nice. I dabble a little. I watched a BB King interview and he described playing like having a conversation. I think it is a great way to help control dynamics if you imagine different types of conversation and play your own call and responses.
@@JackMackWoodturning I totally agree with that, I like to make short phrasings when I play kind of like small conversation one following each other, that works best for me
Are you in a band too?
i love this so much jack, but i have to say, for every one of your projects, i really hope you plant a tree. love your work!!!!
I have pant 6000 trees per year. And only use arb waste for my TH-cam projects
You are an awesome master craftsman, congratulations from Manchester, England
Much love from the toon. Are you a woodworker?
@@JackMackWoodturning not really jack,although im a joiner by trade, just appreciate the look of fine work and good wood
Lovely work, I really enjoyed watching you make that piece 👍
