As a metal lathe machinist I have huge respect for wood lathe machinists. Machining is difficult in the best of times and these guys do everything by hand. Very impressive

I'm sorry for my ignorance but what is it? An art piece or does it have a specific purpose? What I do know is that this channel is so addicting and amazing. Having complete nerve damage in my hands I'd never be able to do this but, I admire your skill. Really enjoy watching a master of their craft. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for the kind words, iv made countless versions of these and they all se extremely well, I don’t pigeon hole the use of the item but people often buy them as centre piece or for serving bread ect. It is what it is. 😊 Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning It looks like the vane is about to come off. Given the length of the vane, the torn off tip would be a good way to jab into the soft parts of the body.
No risk for a professional who spends 50 hours a week at the lathe. The ‘don’t try this at home’ is for amateur turners. It is only dangerous if the correct safety protocols are not observed. Thanks for watching 😉😊👍🏻
Initially, I got mad at you for wasting so much wood. Then I saw what came out of that log, what a thing of beauty! I love wood. Its my Chinese element, and I have done years of wood refinishing bringing abandoned antiques back to life from the dead. I know the feeling when that layer of oil goes on, the wood turns golden, and you hear a golden shower of alleluias in your head. I'd like to know what oil you used, and wax. Here is a trick I use. After oiling, wipe off excess and let dry 2-7 days depending on oil. Dilute polyurethane oil based interior clear satin type (Varethane) with Mineral Spirits in 40:60 mix in favor of the solvent. Brush the edges of the dish with this, letting it soak in. Wipe off excess in 15 mins before letting it dry so wood looks natural. When dry in 2 hrs, apply 1-2 more layers. Being very thinned out, it soaks into the wood, bonding the bark to the wood so no risk of falling out. It also strengthens the wood. You don't see it. The wood feels natural. You can coat the piece with this thinned out poly as well. 1-2 coats, wiping off excess. When dry, buff with wax. Much more durable, and no color change with time. You really are a master craftsman. That was a very dangerous and difficult project going at the log from that angle. It could have broken off and hit you on the head like a projectile. Nice work!
Such a beautiful piece Jack. Awesome skill in your turning. It's fascinating to see what turns out. Immaculate piece, perfect. Your skills with your tools are worthy of an award. You always produce quality, top respect from the South East
My wife bought a piece like this years ago at a craft fair- waaaay before I ever imagined owning a lathe. It always intrigued me. Once I finally got a lathe, this was the VERY first thing I tried to turn from a peach tree limb. I was a total n00b, but somehow it all worked out. How I still have 2 functioning eyes and 10 fingers is a goddamn miracle.... I think I might have to give it another try and see if I've improved any. Excellent work as always, Jack. Keep it up!
Thanks Aaron, appreciate you watching mate. Yeah definitely give it another go, there are so many potential variations of this bowl, great fun to turn. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words. No strength required in woodturning it’s all about subtle moment. And experience working with wood means you can all but know 90% of the time what the wood will look like when finished. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Cmon Jack, what is that, a platter for apples etc? Seriously, some serious skills involved to turn that, I thought at first it was a propeller. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I use to sell lots of these as bread baskets ( for want of a better word) they make great centre pieces for a table.. as a decorative item or for serving foods like sushi or snacks. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning You say "Don't try this at home" in the title, then you go into the comments and try to convince people to do so. I hope you understand that a legal disclaimer is invalidated if you then put in writing that you don't think people should abide by it.
@@JackMackWoodturningFor somebody with your high level of talent and knowledge that is certainly true. And for real no sarcasm, super impressed with all your work I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing your projects!
First time I saw the tease I imagined you were going to turn the log into a cross-grain toothpick or an eggcup, maybe using the TH-cam washing machine motor. Absolutely beautiful work. I like watching your tool work and will work my way through your other videos. The “less barky” reply made my day. Happy new year.
Ahhh the less barky reply.. 😆. I try to reply to every single comment, I think it polite and if someone’s taken the time to ask a question it’s fair to do my best to reply… that being said, if someone asks “what would it look like with less bark… I feel there really is only one answer 😆 Happy new year mate All the best 👍🏻
Definitely not gonna try that for a long time!! Your talent on the lathe is like nothing I have ever seen. Hopefully someday I'll be that good!! I really loved slow mo on this!!
I follow many channels of turning, but never seen something like this! I'm sure it was very difficult to realise...can't imagin what strong vibrations you had to contrast. Only a perfect handler can do this. Be sure I'll NEVER try...too difficult! Thanks and keep on sharing please!
I appreciate you watching and your kind words. This was actually fairly easy, it’s all about balance and as with all wood Turing it doesn’t require strength. Just to understand the subtle movement needed to cut correctly 👍🏻😊
I love the finished peice, but I reaaally loved it about half way through when it was a sort of wobbly wave shape. I'd use it for a tiered candle holder.
Haha, let’s compare yours to mine.. and in a few years when you understand woodworking we can both laugh at how you though that was a clever thing to say 😆😉
@@JackMackWoodturning It was a joke my dude. I'm aware of the concave indent down the center-line of the piece due to the turning process that would be difficult to replicate in any other way than turning. I'm a woodworker myself so I'm always looking at clever ideas on YT to see how i can expand my skill set and maybe get some clever ideas. =p personally this project is on the uncomfortable side so no way in hell am i playing with this! But "technically" one could do this with a basic saw and a card scraper with enough time and effort there's always other ways to do things. 😜
Your skills and knowledge are far beyond most woodturners. I can't believe you did it. But you have patience also which is important for this piece. Super well done. Tip of the cap !
OK, you convinced me. I won't try this at home. Firstly because I don't have a lathe but also because I'm not insane! Stunning job on something that I suspect is quite dangerous.
I just saw this video pop up on Facebook, and it reminded me to come post a comment. I watched this video last year, about 2 hours after you posted it. I immediately went out to the shop and tried it with a chunk of Bradford Pear. I couldn't feel my dang left arm for 2 weeks lol. The platter/thingy is still on my bathroom counter, holding my wifes makeup lol
Hahahahab.. this made me chuckle James.. You best get out there again and practice with that bowl gouge till it stops beating you up.. turning should be fluid and gentle.. would love to see a picture of it.. 😊👍🏻

Hard question. It depends how much effort you put in. I can do 50 hours at the lathe some weeks. I would think if you spent 2-4 hours a day you would be proficient in about 6 months. 😊👍🏻
To jack mac good luck on your 🪵wood turning i hope it turns out Nice in the end from paul chapman at east sheen What is is it that you made jack mac Please 🙏tell me interesting to know
This one isn’t actually very good. It spewes grease from the tip and gets all over your work piece. Typical bed product sold from Axminster tools. Il be investing in a real one soon and will b sure to let you know when I find one worth buying 😊👍🏻
I've said this before, everything made from cherry is awesome. This cherry skateboard looks amazing too. I bet a pile of ornately rolled up napkins would look good on it, or some artisan bread. Aside from the scary nature of turning something this shape, this was a size of wood that is very easy to find, so it is an obtainable object, instead of a unique burl, or a giant piece of wood. That is nice to see sometimes.
"No, I'm not being ungrateful! I just wanted you to buy me a skateboard, Dad! The other kids are gonna make fun of me!" (It really is a beautiful piece; that thought just popped into my head about 3/4 of the way through.)
On today’s episode of “Most inefficient ways to make a skateboard” But I’m all truth the platter looks nice and has a cool pattern. The risk seems like it was worth it
Great work jack! A well produced video and finished product. Mad skills you have! May I ask what was the carving tool you used toward the end to remove the spigot? Thanks!
@@JackMackWoodturning Thanks for your response. What I was referring to looks like a power chisel, with a hand-piece at the end of a cable. Something other than a dremel?
As fun as this is to watch I can’t help but feel like there is a much simpler way to achieve the same goal without spinning it long ways like that and risking breaking things. Just a feeling
@@JackMackWoodturning I wasn’t judging. I promise. Just concerned about the safety of everything not metal in that room up to and including your very human body. Lmao. But as always it was a beautiful piece of art in the end.
It’s okay steve. There’s really nothing to worry about if the piece is mounted correctly. If it’s balanced then it’s almost exactly the same as turning a bowl of the same diameter. Obviously you don’t want to try to sand it by hand with the lathe running but it’s not AS dangerous or abstract as it appears.
@@JackMackWoodturning No Instagram for me. I'm just a casual hobbyist but I love watching others, learning from their techniques and getting inspiration.
Great video, but wouldn't something similar be easier, faster, and most importantly safer to do with other tools. You could mark the desired shape on the side of the workpiece and then make vertical cuts of different depths with a saw. Then remove the resulting blocks with a chisel and clean up the whole thing. The last step could be done on the lathe to get more symmetry, but to remove so much material on the lathe as shown in the video does not seem to me the best solution.
Cheers mate. Yeah of course, there are many ways to skin a cat as they say. For me, the easiest way is to spin them on the lathe, the edits on the video make it appear some what labour-some but that’s just changing up camera angles and stopping the lathe a lot so the viewer can see what’s happening. This type of bowl takes me about 20 mins the make from start to finish and for me this is a simple and safe method of working. I turn bowls all day 5 days a week and clock up around 60 hours per week at the lathe and have done for many years.. this definitely isn’t a beginners project. But It’s also not unsafe.. its actually exactly the same as turning a round bowl of the same diameter only you don’t want to sand this one with the lathe running. The reason I dont remove wood before starting to turn the piece is simply that it gives you more scope. Firstly the piece needs to be aligned correctly between centres so the you get balance from the finished form (or lack of balance if that is the desired effect) to do that it useful to take a few cuts with a gouge and compare them end to end and see they both hit the same spot on either side. It’s important to note that although wood is removed in shavings it’s often the removal of this wood that tells the turners how to proceed, meaning the wood removed has function within the process. Another reason is to be able to change the plan mid project. Although I make countless bowls to match the ones that have gone before there are times when a defect in the wood will cause you to need to change the plan or loose the whole bowl. This means you need to remove more wood than you’d planned. If you have already removed wood from the centre you have limited your ability to finish a piece and risk wasting the whole log. While you are entirely correct that there are other ways to achieve the same form it is in my opinion fair to say this is the best and most effective way to create this particular piece. I also return all shavings to the earth as nature intended by way of composting so getting one log per small section of branch is fine by me.
@@JackMackWoodturning I think it ultimately depends on what tools you have. The editing made it look a lot more time consuming than it actually is. I don't have a lathe, so I can't compare directly, but in the end there are thousands of ways to the same goal. What remains is a great video which inspires you to be creative yourself.

Aside from the scary nature of turning something this shape, this was a size of wood that is very easy to find, so it is an obtainable object, instead of a unique burl, or a giant piece of wood. That is nice to see sometimes.
Thanks mate, I’m glad it was enjoyable and inspiring
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Thinking outside of the box 👏👏
Nice one Gary. Guessing that means you like it? 👍🏻😉
@@JackMackWoodturning yes that was some piece of work never seen something like this class 👌👌
Ah nice one Gary mate. Appreciate it. Are you a woodturner?
"No, I'm not being ungrateful! I just wanted you to buy me a skateboard, Dad! The other kids are gonna make fun of me!"
(It really is a beautiful piece; that thought just popped into my head about 3/4 of the way through.)
Haha you are that guy. 😉👍🏻
Wooden maxi pad. Nice work!
Thanks buddy…
On today’s episode of “Most inefficient ways to make a skateboard”
But I’m all truth the platter looks nice and has a cool pattern. The risk seems like it was worth it
Thanks. It’s not actually a risky thing to turn. It’s not a project for beginners either. 👍🏻
Ok 🤗❤️but man I was just anticipating the catch the entire time. Ugh lord have mercy. 👊👍❤️yes I have a lathe also 😊
Haha. I can’t remember the last time I got a catch while turning. It certainly isn’t a concern. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Прям так и вижу, как кусок полена отлетает и летит тебе прям в бороду, с таким биением!! Отчаянный ты человек!!!
А что за хуйню он по итогу сделал? Типа какой-то элемент декора или что это за хренотень вышла у него?
That slow motion shot was awesome, you made it look easy.
Cheers John. Thanks for watching buddy 😉👍🏻
Great work jack! A well produced video and finished product. Mad skills you have! May I ask what was the carving tool you used toward the end to remove the spigot? Thanks!
I believe you are referring to the dremel. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Julia 👍🏻😊😉
@@JackMackWoodturning Thanks for your response. What I was referring to looks like a power chisel, with a hand-piece at the end of a cable. Something other than a dremel?
Oh. That is a power chisel for the dremel.. it’s nifty but I think mine is faulty and spits black grease out the end every now and then.
What a beautiful piece
Thank you 😊👍🏻
I am 13 years old, a wood lathe is coming soon.
Get that done Fugas you’ll love it
Can you make a skateboard like this?FANTASTIC
Definitely not. A skateboard needs to be made from ply which makes it strong
Just need some wheels my man! 😉
@@JackMackWoodturning 4 wheels!☺☺☺
So 4 wheels and some strong ply?
Snowboard would be easier
"Don't try this at home"
Me, not even owning a lathe: *ok*
Go get one Now! Great tool and it’s lots of fun
It looks like you could do the same thing with a bandsaw in much less time with much less mess.
Where’s the fun in that
You're the Man 💯
Cheers John. Thanks for watching buddy 😊😉👍🏻
Ну да, молодец. Получил бесполезный кусок древесины. Слишком много затрат. Можно быстрее, и проше
Вы ничего не поняли ! Это же скейт ! Тока без колесиков !)
Very clever. Well
Done.
Thanks Mandy. Appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
As fun as this is to watch I can’t help but feel like there is a much simpler way to achieve the same goal without spinning it long ways like that and risking breaking things. Just a feeling
Like using a ban saw ? 😅😅
Twas a demonstration of technique fellaz, not a tutorial 😊👍🏻😂
Atleast you gave a response. Cheers 🍻
@@JackMackWoodturning I wasn’t judging. I promise. Just concerned about the safety of everything not metal in that room up to and including your very human body. Lmao. But as always it was a beautiful piece of art in the end.
It’s okay steve. There’s really nothing to worry about if the piece is mounted correctly. If it’s balanced then it’s almost exactly the same as turning a bowl of the same diameter. Obviously you don’t want to try to sand it by hand with the lathe running but it’s not AS dangerous or abstract as it appears.
Amazing and so pretty
Nice one Becky. ☺️👍🏻
I won"t try this at home but in the workshop.where the lathe is!
Still not recommended 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning The greatest things in life are not recommended 🙃!
I think I have to agree with you on that one 😂
I think what you do here is amazing
Thanks KuPao. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
Make sure your machine is bolted to the floor. Or else it might take air ✈️
Fear not Simon. My setup is very safe 😉😊👍🏻
or have 500lbs of weight!
Totally gonna try this at home. Just because you said not to!
Great work, by the way. Love it!
Thanks Shaun. I’d love to see your take on it. Do you have instagram?
@@JackMackWoodturning No Instagram for me. I'm just a casual hobbyist but I love watching others, learning from their techniques and getting inspiration.
Great video, but wouldn't something similar be easier, faster, and most importantly safer to do with other tools. You could mark the desired shape on the side of the workpiece and then make vertical cuts of different depths with a saw. Then remove the resulting blocks with a chisel and clean up the whole thing. The last step could be done on the lathe to get more symmetry, but to remove so much material on the lathe as shown in the video does not seem to me the best solution.
Cheers mate. Yeah of course, there are many ways to skin a cat as they say. For me, the easiest way is to spin them on the lathe, the edits on the video make it appear some what labour-some but that’s just changing up camera angles and stopping the lathe a lot so the viewer can see what’s happening.
This type of bowl takes me about 20 mins the make from start to finish and for me this is a simple and safe method of working. I turn bowls all day 5 days a week and clock up around 60 hours per week at the lathe and have done for many years.. this definitely isn’t a beginners project. But It’s also not unsafe.. its actually exactly the same as turning a round bowl of the same diameter only you don’t want to sand this one with the lathe running.
The reason I dont remove wood before starting to turn the piece is simply that it gives you more scope. Firstly the piece needs to be aligned correctly between centres so the you get balance from the finished form (or lack of balance if that is the desired effect) to do that it useful to take a few cuts with a gouge and compare them end to end and see they both hit the same spot on either side. It’s important to note that although wood is removed in shavings it’s often the removal of this wood that tells the turners how to proceed, meaning the wood removed has function within the process.
Another reason is to be able to change the plan mid project. Although I make countless bowls to match the ones that have gone before there are times when a defect in the wood will cause you to need to change the plan or loose the whole bowl. This means you need to remove more wood than you’d planned. If you have already removed wood from the centre you have limited your ability to finish a piece and risk wasting the whole log.
While you are entirely correct that there are other ways to achieve the same form it is in my opinion fair to say this is the best and most effective way to create this particular piece.
I also return all shavings to the earth as nature intended by way of composting so getting one log per small section of branch is fine by me.
Or try bending a plank.
you could hammer a log into submission and lick it smooth ??
It would still be a different approach and a different finished piece
@@JackMackWoodturning I think it ultimately depends on what tools you have. The editing made it look a lot more time consuming than it actually is. I don't have a lathe, so I can't compare directly, but in the end there are thousands of ways to the same goal. What remains is a great video which inspires you to be creative yourself.
@@JackMackWoodturning Some great advice Mack
