Hi Mike, looked for you at the AAW show but didn't run into you. Spent some time with your buddy Ken at Woodturners Wonders, and picked up his Inertial sander. Spent a bunch of time watching Stewart Batty turn bowls! That guy is quite talented. Hope your show was good too! I had a blast.
Love how you make it look simple and make the simple look fancy. I always like how you narrate your hand tool use. I know to us experienced turners it is second nature but it never hurts to hear it said as there are beginners out there and I sure like the reminders. Have a great holiday to you and your family.
Thank you very much, Ken! Ye, floating the bevel is second nature when you have been turning a whil but it is something you have to keep reminding students in a workshop. God bless.
Thanks, Sam. I figured I would take advantage of seasonal popularity of ornament videos. I needed to turn a few for Christmas and enjoy these. This was the first time I textured them after watching one of your earlier birdhouse ornament videos.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Mike, I am loving the tub buddy....It pops up all over and is a big help. I am really close to upgrading. What do you think. Happy Christmas. did you get your new lathe. Sam
Do not remember the name but it was the small one for ornaments and such. I have nevr used it for acrylics. Because it slices I doubt if it would work as well as a flat carbide scraper.
Nice ornament. Did you finish the body of the house? Have you tried the negative rake version of the round carbide tool bit? Also, D-Way Tools has some very nice negative rake double ended tools designed specifically for boxes and small spindle projects that really work well and I don’t have to have 20 years of turning experience to use successfully. Have a great holiday season and stay safe!!
I used a shellace based friciton polish. I have several HSS negative rake scrapers so do no plan to buy a carbide one. The Hunter tool slices and leaves a superior finish to a NRS, especially on a soft wood like box elder that is more prone to tearout.
Borrowed phone
I like the box elder really nice work.
They look great. Details do matter.
Beautifully done Mike!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Thank you! Cheers!🙃
Thanks for the demo Mike.
Take care all and stay safe and well
Cheers

I am new to wood turning so I love how well you narrate as you go. You make me think I can actually do this turning thing. LOL
You CAN. It is not Rocket surgery.
Wow, those are beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job with nice detail. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Mike. Yes details make the difference. Have a great holiday and stay safe.
Thanks 👍 and Merry Christmas, Glen.
Love the tiny bird house.

Nice job as always Mike. Really like your narrations.
I appreciate that.

Sorry we were not able to connect. Lots of people so easy to miss folks. I really enjoyed the symposium.
Gorgeous little bird house Mike.I have moved my subscription to this, my new iPad.
Thanks fior your support, Jack.
Good info as always. Thanks for sharing.
Any time!

Cool little ornament, Mike, Thanks!!
Glad you like it, Lewis! These birdhouses are one of my favorite turning projects. The birds are fun too.
You really are teaching...I will understand more when i am in class. What would you suggest for beginner teaching project??
Start with a mallet. Check out this playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLG3S-gdoXeXUAIr-bwZGdjeidiN-mUxqJ.html
Good video, we make these much the same way. Sam

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Merry Christmas to you and Cheryl, Sam. Tube Buddy saves me a lot of time. Still waiting on my new lathe.
Piece is really nice. Which Hunter tool were you using? It looks interesting. Do you know how it performs for acrylics?
