  • This is the third video in a series intended to help new turners make simple, sellable items to fun their shop/hobby. Links to the first 2 videos below. In this video I show how to take a piece of 1-1/2" x8-1/2" scrap and make an $8 honey dipper in 10 minutes. These are great at craft shows, markets, gift shops and can also be supplied to Apiaries who sell honey at their locations or at markets. As a bonus, I show a second honey dipper being made with only 2 skew chisels as I learn to turn with that tool. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you for watching!

    I admire your determination in sticking with the screw chisel. The first time I tried one, I got a catch and it kicked back and cut my finger. I haven't tried that again!

    For a guy who is not to good with a skew, that looked darn good to me. I watched my grand daddy use a skew, and he used to tell me, "It's a sharp edge against a piece of wood, just like your pocket knife." I usually end up with stuff flying across the shop...😀😀😀

    I took a class many years ago with Alan Lacer, who I consider the master of the skew. One of the excises in class was beads and coves with a skew and practice, practice and more practice. Once you learn, it’s like riding a bicycle and you hardly ever need to sand. Nice job on the honey dippers.

    Great little video for 'quick & nasty' easy money makers. Your skew work has come a long way since you 1st said you were going to work on it.
    Perhaps a side Angle shot showing the the angle of the skew to the work piece might help some of those just starting to use a skew.

    This ia a great project also. I have not made these but didn't realize they were very popular. I do make a lot of spatulas and they alone would pay for my entry fees into the shows I do. I have made north of a hundred and they sell well. i turn the handle part and finish the blades on the bandsaw and finish the shaping on a belt sander.

    (edited - something happened to the rest of what I wrote.)
    I appreciate the tutorials on what sells. Pieces that are monuments to the turners are nice but don't sell easily. I really enjoy turning stuff that people use and seeing what other people make.
    A little coaching, if I may (delete if not appropriate). Those shearing cuts you did at 13:02 and 13:40 and elsewhere had me wincing in my chair. You got lucky on more than one occasion. The 'trick' with the skew is to keep an eye on where the blade is contacting the wood and where the tool is contacting the tool rest. You have to keep the blade contact outside of where the tool rest contact is (to the short point or bottom of the skew). If you draw a perpendicular line from the tool rest contact point to the wood at 13:40, you can see the blade is contacting the wood to the left of that line. That is how BAD catches happen. For that cut there, keep the blade contact to the left of the line (from the camera perspective). For cuts going in the other direction, keep the blade contact point to the right (from the camera perspective).
    The skew is an amazing chisel to use. It can make finishing cuts that don't need sanding. Keep at it and please keep the videos coming.

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, as a beekeeper I try to have some honey dippers available to sell with our honey. I tend to use a parting tool to make the grooves. I have found I like to make them wide enough so that the honey will release from the grooves. (A little more than an 1/8 inch wide to get a decent serving of honey to spread on my bread.) Of course the width to allow honey to release probably is affected by how warm your honey is. Will have to try v grooves just to see how well they work. I know some people buy them by how pleasing to the eye they are and personally I think a tighter groove looks better, but I want people to appreciate the usefulness of the dipper as well.

    As a beekeeper and a Turner I'd like to see you cut the grooves square all to the same depth while it's still a cylinder. Then form the bulb. Otherwise it's the nicest honey dipper I've ever seen.

The angle on the gouge looked like a bowl “bottom feeder” and quite steep. Is it like a 40 degree? I wouldn’t have had thought to use a bowl gouge until I saw this video but you make it look easy! 🙏

    Missed the Premiere again, Lewis. You have to stop doing these when I'm turning or editing the video!! LOL! Nice honey dippers, buddy. With a little practice I'm sure you will learn to love the skew. The first time I tried using one I almost had to go change my underwear because I got an epic catch almost immediately. I stuck the skew in a drawer and thought I would never touch it again. Being stubborn, I took it out a few days later and forced myself to learn how to use it. I'm still not an expert but I really like using it anyway. Great video, my friend. How is the house coming along?

One of them I gave to my neighbors as a house warming gift. I put a glass bottle in the hole I drilled in the top. I got the bottle from Hobby Lobby, it had a lid on it but I took it off. I put in some artificial flowers in the vase for my neighbors. Thanks in advance.
