What a great idea Andy. My wife is a new beekeeper, she is going to love this when I make it for her. Thank you.
Hi Sean...
Thank you very much.. I'm glad that you liked it...
This would be a perfect gift for your wife...
I hope that you will enjoy making it and I'm sure that your wife will love it...
I posted a TH-cam short with the dimensions on which could be useful...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Sitting here waiting for a delayed flight at the Halifax airport, NS. A great project. Well done. See the sun was shining that day! Suppose you’ll be turning a flower for the bee to sit on next. Beautiful work. Thanks.
Hi Lyle...
Oh dear... I hope that you got the flight in the end...
I'm glad that you liked the little Bee...
Haha yes..sunshine in Cornwall... who would have believed it...
The flower idea is great... why didn't I think of that...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Awesome, love it.
I got stung by a bee once.....five quid for a jar of honey !!!
Hi Kev...
Thank you very much... I'm glad that you liked it..
Haha... I like that one...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
I enjoyed watching the whole process. Lots of work but it pays off in the end. Cheers!
Hi.. One turn at a time...
I'm glad that you managed to watch it all the way through and enjoyed it...
Yes .. a lot of work and editing...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
That is one LARGE bee...please don't turn it loose...it might mate and we'll all bee in trouble😲...
very cool piece...stay safe...press on my friend 😎 Joe
Hi Joe...
Haha... yes our bees are in enough trouble without having to deal with this bad boy...
I'm glad that you liked it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
So cool. I got stung by one of these critters when I was about 6 that was when I learned you when you run you get stung. You did a great job making him so real.
Hi Judith...
Thank you so much... I'm glad that you liked it...
A good lesson.. but it's hard not to run when they come at you...Haha...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Yep, watched to the end (as always - he he). An enjoyable watch while I had my tea break. all the best mate.
Hi Stephen...
Thank you for sticking with me to the end..
I'm glad that you enjoyed it whilst having your cuppa...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations No worries Andy. Have to keep the algorithms happy he he. See you on the next one ☺
It is fun to watch you create all of the pieces and put them all together.
Hi Kathy...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and liked the project...
I had fun and learned a few things with this one...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Andy....I am REALLY allergic to bee stings, and avoid them at all costs. But I must say, my friend, yours is absolutely gorgeous! Well done! 😎❤👍
Hi Dave...
I'm sorry to hear that... it's a good job that they don't get this big then...
I'm glad that you still liked it.. despite your allergy...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Brilliant, surprise surprise, we stuck to the end, really enjoyed that.
Hi Gary...
Thank you very much for watching it all the way through..
I'm glad that you enjoyed watching it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
I'll bee darned. Isn't that just the cutest.
Hi Mark...
Haha.. I see what you did there...
I'm glad that you liked it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
That turned out great Andy! If you don't mind I'm going to try this. Me and my wife watched this together and she loves it to. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Hi Stephen...
Thank you very much...
Of course you can ... I hope that my video helps with the making of yours...
Send me a picture... andy.paramore@btinternet.com
I'm so pleased that your wife likes it too !! .
God bless you and yours...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Absolutely superb!!!!!! We should all make some and bring attention to the plight of and necessity for bees!
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Hi Buttermilk3696...
Thank you so much for your kind words...
I couldn't agree more with you... Bees are having a very difficult time at the moment...
We can't manage without them so we really should look after them...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Honey you’ve been very very beezy! You are a gifted artist my friend. I truly enjoy all your videos. So now another one of your creations I’m gonna have to attempt.
Hi Normagene...
Haha... I like what you did there...
You are very kind...I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos...
I hope that you will enjoy making yours... just make sure that you have plenty of time.. it's not a quick project...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
This is amazing! So gorgeous 🤩🥰! Thank you for sharing!
Andy lovely to see you mate, heyup! I don't believe people turn off - I look forward to your videos - it's rarely just a wood turning project which I really like because you often make the turning part of something more. I have been at the woodworking show at Harrogate this weekend, bumped into a Gentleman Turner called Mark which was nice for me to meet someone I often watch on here - he said he owes his gentlemanly attributes to you which is a good legacy - Cornwall is lucky to have you mate!
Hi Paul...
Ey up... good to hear from you...
Yes.. at least 30 per cent of people turn off in the 1st minute...
I'm glad that you are still enjoying my videos...
Living in Yorkshire gives you an ideal opportunity to visit the show...
My brother lived in Harrogate for a while so I have been there often.. before moving to Cornwall...
Mark lives just up the coast from me... so that was a long drive for him to get to Harrogate...
I have never met Mark so I'm guessing that you are kidding me about him mentioning me...
Thank you.. you are very kind...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I look forward to your videos Andy. No I wasn't joking, when I spoke with mark and he said he was from Cornwall I mentioned you and he said you lived nearby and he spoke very highly of you!
Finally the Beeee moive nice work Andy
Hi Lawrence...
Haha... like it...
It's taken me a while to get this one done...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Well ! you have been buzzy coming up with this one Andy ,very nice , thanks for another gr8 Idea .
Hi Indiana...
Haha... I see what you did there...
Thank you very much...
My pleasure...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
I get similar yellow look when I use boiled linseed oil. The trick with tannin and steel wool solution to create an ebonizing effect on oak is handy to know. Beautiful. I've made beeswax and mineral oil finish for most of my products. It's durable and the water beads up on top of it.
Hi Danielle...
Ahhh.. I will have to try the linseed oil tip...
I was surprised just how black the Oak went...
I have made my own abrasive paste with beeswax, mineral oil and diatomaceous earth...
But I haven't tried making my own wax finish... time to give it a go... thank you...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations another tip is 2 coats of tung oil with 2 more coats of this mix: 1/2 cup tung oil to a tablespoon of spar varnish mixed together. That will give depth and nice honey color plus the protection of the varnish for outdoor projects. Cheers. Hope its helpful.
What a great project.
Thanks for posting this.
Goid work.
Hi lightning....
Thank you very much...
My pleasure..
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Fantastic job. Continue to "bee" creative as you have been to date
Hi Eduardo...
Thank you very much...
Haha... I see what you did there...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
...a beeswax finish!?!?!...how fitting...well, I think it's beeutiful...well done...👍
Hi Zhawkeye...
Haha... I didn't think of that at the time... getting slow in my old age !!
I'm glad that you liked it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
This is my favorite of all your menagerie, Andy! A lot of steps, a lot of planning and a lot of detailed work, all worthwhile! This little bee is spectacular! Well done! 😊
Phil
Hi Phil...
I'm so pleased that you have a new favourite...
It was a lengthy process and it was interesting working out how to make it...
The practice pieces really do work ...
Thank you for your kind words...

Hi Nordicturning...
Thank you very much .. I'm glad that you liked it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
It's a wonderful bee! And I'm happy to see that you've allowed the dandelions to grow and feed him. Much to other's chagrin I let the dandelions mature for what few bees come to visit my garden. I planted a hyssop this year that was a popular gathering place and attracted more bees. I'm definitely planting more of them next spring. I enjoyed watching your bee take shape and found the ebonizing process to be quite amazing! Thank you for sharing this fun project! Take care 🙏🏻💕
Hi Gwynn...
Thank you very much... I'm glad that you enjoyed watching my B Movie... Haha.. get it... yes the ebonising worked much better than I expected...
I wish that I could claim that I allowed the dandelions to grow for the Bees but the truth is that I don't weed as often as I should...
I had to look up Hyssop plants... they look like beautiful plants.. I will look out for a few and join you in planting them for the Bees...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Brilliant. I am a beekeeper so will have to have a go at one

I give some of my projects away as gifts but I don't sell them...
Is there anything in particular that you are interested in ?..

Hi Andy
The bee is your best item so far ,so realistic mounted on the stand.I’d love to make one but honestly I don’t think I’d have the patience to go through all the stages.
Great seeing you back at the lathe,stay safe ,and thanks for sharing your talents

Once again, fantastic creativity, Andy. This project really showcases your skills. I particularly like the idea of inserting wire into the articulated legs to allow you to adjust their position. The end result is stunning. Love it.
Steve Jacques,

Hi Steve...
Thank you once again for your kind comments...
Yes the legs worked really well... I'm glad that I made the prototype before tackling the final Bee...

Wow absolutely bee-rilliant Andy! I've been making bees but they tiny compared to yours and not as realistic! Super super well done Sir! 😃

Bees wax 😂😂 lovely work Andy, Boris the bumblebee. I know your in Cornwall but do you know theres things called vacuum cleaners now ? You need to use one around that sander 😮😂 i love that copper wire detail
Hi Jim...
Thank you very much.. I'm glad that you liked my Bumble Bee.. Boris ehh... Haha...
Thank you for your great tip on the new "vacuum cleaner " thingy...
I have looked it up and found that they are being imported into Cornwall in the near future...
As soon as they arrive then I will get one and try it out around my sander...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Bombustastic! Great job there Andy. I made some ebonising solution but didnt work so good, must try your method of using the tannin from the tea first. Nice pyrography pen you were using, must replace mine as its c**p! Kernow & Yorkshire Bys Vyken mate, Steve.
Hi Steve...
Haha... good word...
I was not expecting it to work as well as it did.. really jet black...
The pyrography tool is a Peter Child ... a really good machine...
I don't use it often enough to be any good at it...
Say hi to Yorkshire for me...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Some measurements would be great so it makes it easier for us to have a go at one
Hi Daemon...
Yes you are quite correct... I keep forgetting to add measurements...
I will put up a video short with the sizes on...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
That's a super result Andy and such a entertaining vid. I'd quite happily watch your vids for over an hour, no kiddin'. The ebonizing stuff really is remarkable - is it mostly on oak or will it darken any light woods?
Hi Mark...
Thank you so much...that is very kind of you to say that... most people have the attention span of a... bee..
If I had made the video longer I could have fitted some music in.. perhaps the flight of the Bumble Bee...
The ebonising solution worked much better than I expected...
It works really well on Oak and I have seen it used on Walnut with great results...
I'm not sure about lighter woods... worth an experiment perhaps...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy. Love the bee 👍 Is there any chance you could give the dimentions as I'd like to have a go at making it myself. Cheers Mick.
👍👍👍
Hi Andy great video you are a great woodturner I love your videos and the things you make. The Bumble Bee is awesome its fabulous I really like it how much would you sell it for? I love how you explain everything its really useful. Is your small sander an electrical? Amanda xxxx
Hi Amanda...
Thank you very much for your kind words as always...
I have someone interested in buying the Bee...
I'm afraid that I don't have time to make another but if he doesn't want it I will let you know...
I thought that £30.00 plus postage was a fair price...
The bench belt sander is a Sheppach from Screwfix...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy xx
👍
Hi Dore60...
👍👍😉
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Really nice! Would you mind sharing the recipe that concoction you used to darken the oak?
Hi Roger...
Thank you...
My pleasure...
I used 2 jam jars... the 1st I put a tea bag in with boiling water half full ...
The 2nd .... I half filled with white vinegar and wire wool...keep the wire wool under the surface...
Leave both jars sealed overnight...
I applied the tea mixture 1st then the vinegar... I'm not sure if it has to be this way round...but it worked..
Have fun...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy will give it a go and how did you get the yellow colour thanks in advance keep up the great work
Hi MrDilmaher...
Thank you...
I hope that you will enjoy making yours...
I used water based yellow wood dye ... it's not available any more...
But any brand of water based yellow wood dye or stain will be ok... even a yellow felt tipped pen will work..
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Valerie...
Thank you.. as always...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Brilliant job Andy! Are you sure it wasn’t over an hour long or it just seemed like it was? 😊😂. Creative as usual!
Hi Todd...
Thank you so much...
Congratulations if you made it to the end... just be glad that I used 5x speed!!
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
The bee bodies are great! But I can’t quite make out you turn the wood black. Can you give me the recipe?
Hi Clayton...
I'm glad that you liked the Bee...
Here is a link to a video about Ebonising...
th-cam.com/video/2bUZ7mJe-SE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=z-Q-GpioPqZuCMJg
I just used ordinary tea bags...
It's a great way to turn Oak black... have fun...
Take care my friend and all the best...Andy
Andy, when you cut the segments on the chop saw what was the angle please. My grandskids are gonna love this.
Hi Anthony...
There are 6 segments in each ring... 6x60 degrees = 360 degrees... so each segment is cut at 60 degrees..
It took me quite a while to make this... I hope that you enjoy making yours and I'm sure that your grandchildren will love it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Thanks Andy. I didn't pay attention in my maths class in school. I was far beater at spealing than Maths. (Smiley Face)
Haha... I'm with you on that one...
Haha.. I like it...
What did you use to get the yellow colour please
Hi MrDilmaher...
It was a water based wood dye... no longer available..
But any wood dye or stain will do the job... even a coloured felt tip pen would work...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Sorry Huw 😉😂
Haha... nice one Jude.!!
@@AndysCornishCreations I consider this a once in a lifetime event, you know 😂 I have not viewed the video yet but thought I needed to jump on it, now or never 😆 The kiddies are here for two nights’ sleepover and one has got a temperature… So I will have a closer look tonight as I won’t be sleeping much again I suppose 😵💫
I'm glad I'm not the only one ribbing Huw about being first.
Hi Jude...
A sleepover for 2 nights and with one of them not well...
That sounds like a lot of work for you... I know that you will enjoy it though...
I hope that the temperature goes down...
You will need a good night's sleep for tomorrow... Haha...
Take care Jude... all the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
What??? No curry paste for the yellow stripes!!! That is outrageous, Andy… After all those teabags and vinegar and stuff for the black parts 😉 Mighty impressive specimen of a bumble bee… I would put it in front of our bees houses as a sort of scarecrow for the wasps… or should I say as a scarewasp? Beautiful design, Andy, your bumble bee 🐝 looks terrific, great colouring and shape and dimensions, love it 👍🏻☺️ I have had one thought when I watched you work on the wings… I think I would have tried to make them out of clear resin and drill or carve the pattern… same for the eyes, I think something slightly bigger out of resin would also look great… Sorry, I know, nag nag nag 🙄 Just a thought 💭 Having said that, maybe I can make it up by assuring you that I would have watched your 1 hour 40 minutes video without even blinking 👍🏻😊 BBB beautiful bumble bee, Andy, it must have been quite the project! Looking forward to your next one 😊 Thank you for the great video 🙏🏻 Byeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
