- This video is another installment in the project that sells series geared to beginning and intermediate turners looking to earn some money to fund their shops. Rolling pins are extremely popular both as functional and display pieces. This video will demonstrate an easy way to make two popular styles of rolling pins using basic tools, wood cutoffs and an easy food safe finish.
I hope you enjoy this video and will leave a thumbs up and a comment. Thank you for watching!
Greetings from a Scot working in Nigeria. Great videos and love the soothing music too.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
I will say what has already been said, you have the best teaching methods and know how to make them very fun to watch. The fact that you replace lathe cutting noise with music is genius. I just found your videos and watch them daily now. I am learning so much and love your work. THANK YOU
Thank you Matt, I really appreciate it!
I just came across this video, I know it's an old one, But I really like it.
So I Subscribed, hit the bell and the like button. Thank you for the Video.
Thanks so much John, I appreciate it!
I really enjoyed this video. I’ve been out of wood turning for a while and now getting back into it. One thing I like are your comments you make during the session. You show the measurements and actually explain what you are doing and why. That is excellent in my book. Before I retired I created training. Ideas for computer applications and did the same thIng. I have watched so many videos on wood turning and it’s like watching a silent movie with no captions, only finger pointing. Please keep up this demonstration method for us “blockheads”. It’s educational.
Thanks so much David! I appreciate you watching!
Love the series
Thank you Len, I’m glad you are enjoying it!
I know that I'm repeating what has been said in many of these comments, I love the way you teach these projects, the view of your camera for the whole pin and the explanations, how to use tools, calipers, all of the project from start to finish! You are awesome and insiring!!! Thank you
Thank you Lori, I really appreciate it!
Thanks, excellent, always great videos.
I appreciate it Roger, thanks for watching!
"thanks for sticking around", No sir, Thank you for these very clear and good videos.
I appreciate you watching!
You have my General lathe 🤣🤣🤣...nice lathe...
They are a great machine. Shame they aren’t in business any longer.
I've been making and selling rolling pins for a while now and have gotten quite proficient, but I still learned a few new tricks from you. Thanks!
Thanks! They certainly are popular
Theres nothing more satisfying than watching a craftsman at work ,nice job buddy thanks for enlightening us ,
You are too kind! Thank you for watching!
Bravo to the tuber who turns his projects at regular speed very helpful. Thanks, rgp in az
Thanks, I try to keep the project that sells series videos on real time. The big projects I have to speed up to keep the length reasonable. I appreciate you watching!
Learned a lot and loved the music
Thank you Christine!
Nice rolling pins.
Thank you Dennis!
I like this. Excellent, thank you
Thank you Mark!
Great work as always
Thanks so much Sam!
Great tutorial for us just getting started or getting back into turning. I like your method of doing and explaining everything along with the reason for it. Great that you give the measurements as well, far too many just do it and leave you guessing about how big to make it. Thank you for your time and effort doing this.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
You had me at rolling pins! I use both styles and find it fascinating to see them made.
Thank you Charmain, I appreciate you watching!
Might include what those finishes again, and where to look for then
HUT Wax. Available at Hut products online. Thanks for watching!
Love that you do this in real time.
Thanks you and thanks for watching! These type of projects are short enough to do real time and folks wanting to try have a sense of how long it takes.
Another winner for this series. I find anything made for the kitchen will sell well. I have made dozens of spatulas and they always pay my entry fees to shows. I recently started making utensil vases and sold them all. I also make spoons but they take a little more time than spatulas but not much. I made a "swing router" to gouge out the spoon. I use a large cove cutter to do the job. Works great. Turns out that's the easiest part. I turn the handle on the lathe first. Sanding the bottom takes longer.
Nice turn,
Lee
Thank you Lee, the swing router sounds like a great idea! Thank so much for watching!
Loved the video!
Thank you Billy!
Another amazing video, Lewis. Thank you for being thorough with your explanations and showing us techniques that work!
Thank you DD I appreciate you watching buddy!
Learned a lot! Just bought my first lathe and waiting for the last part to come in, so I'm here soaking up as much info as I can. The technique of sliding your hand down the tool rest is going to be infinitely useful! Thank you!
Excellent Ted, enjoy your new lathe. Be safe and be patient! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another wonderful video, especially done with real time segments! I appreciate your series "Projects that Sells" and the fact that, like this one, can be made with material that is left over.
Thank you Laurie, I appreciate it!
Another excellent idea. Thanks for walking us through it as well as offering the pricing suggestions. I always enjoy your videos.
Ron
Thank you Ron, I appreciate it!
Thanks for this and many other great videos. I made my first rolling pin today. My skills are a work in progress, but they are progressing much faster thanks to you.
That is excellent Patrick! Thanks for watching!
Great job on the videos, love the real time and love the 8x. You've got that balanced out pretty good. Thank you a lot. Very informative for me, a novice.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it!
I've been making the french rolling pins lately by eye. I really like your method and I'm going to give it a try. Thanks, Good Job!
Excellent, I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching!
I like the first rolling pin you made. I love the way you explain everything step by step.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you Carl, I appreciate it!
Have used your French rolling pin process to gift a couple of my chef friends. One of them is a 5 star chef from France. He loves the pin...
That is excellent! People do love them! Thanks for watching!
You certainly make it look easy. Great artist always do. Thank you for your videos
Thanks so much Roger, I appreciate it!
Craftsman-made tools are so precious to me. The more videos of yours I see, the more I look forward to acquiring more of your tools. I would love both types of rolling pin and a few honey dippers. If you ever produce wooden spoons, especially in the dark-grained hardwoods, I would be in the front of a line to buy them. I still want one of the cutting boards you created earlier, if you decide to do more. The composite boards would make for a beautiful charcuterie presentation for a dinner party!
Thank you, I’ve never made a spoon but it something I plan to have a go at. I am goi g to be making cutting boards soon and will let you know. Thank once again for watching!
Hello my friend,
you did a good job. A solid and flawless dough roller. congratulations.
Thank you Sahane, I appreciate it!
Very helpful, well explained and im a beginner. Thanks a lot. (Lose the weird elevator/old music, turners like the sound of the laithe) not a slam, im hooked. Thanks
music or lathe sounds are 50/50. I get equal comments going each way actually. So I mix it up. I appreciate the feedback and you watching!
Thank you. I am really enjoying your channel, project that sells. I am giving it a try for myself.
Thank you Roy, enjoy Sir! Love to see what you make!
not a turner but enjoy watching and love how you explain as you go
Thank you Kathryn! I appreciate it!
Great work, very well taught. I'm just starting out and I'm gleaning as much information as possible. I just purchased a new lathe(shop fox W1758 16x46). Buying a smaller on didn't seem to be the right approach, so I found the one I wanted for a great price and there is plenty of projects I'll be able to turn out. I'm a carpenter/contractor and I love working with wood. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who owns a wood lathe and turns, so I watch 4-5 different channels and yours is one of my favorites. Thanks for tutorial, it's brilliant.
Welcome to the addiction! Get good tools and keep them sharp and you will enjoy it! I appreciate the kind words, thank you for watching!
Great video thanks for sharing! I am really enjoying this series on projects that sell.
Thank you Chris, I appreciate you watching!
I'm new to turning and I'm learning such a lot from your detailed commentary, by far the best woodturning channel to watch! Thank you for putting up these great vids.
That is very kind of you to say, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Your commentary/explanations are as good (maybe the best part!) as your turning!
Bravo Lewis! 👍👌👏👏👏
I appreciate that Roy, thank you for watching!
Roy Wilson from BC Canada
Great clear and concise explanation, I am encouraged to have a go at this project.
Thank you for your time and effort doing the video.
Thank you Roy, I hope yours turn out well!
Loved the video. Illustrated some great techniques for a new turner. Look forward to viewing more.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Hey I’m a UK subscriber, brand new to wood turning. I love the videos and enjoy the simple methods you share with us. This series is brilliant and I may try some of these projects this year. Keep em coming Lewis.
Thank you Mike, I appreciate it!
Well done. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Calvin!
Another great little project for new turners, keep the super videos
Thank you Brent, I appreciate it buddy!
Wow. Looks amazing. Love the work.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the great video. Another thing that works well when melting wax is fold a makeup cotton pad in the paper towel. Keeps the heat away well.
Great idea! Thank you for watching Suzette
Hi Lewis, Great looking rolling pins and a great video on how to make them. Just added this to my list of things to make. Take care Lewis. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw, enjoy buddy, they are fun!
Nice pieces! I really like these quick and easy "sellers".
Thank you Max! I appreciate you watching!
Very cool and elegant rolling pins.
Thank you Gayle!
Thanks for sharing. I’m about to start turning. I’m going to give this a try
Thank you Jeremy, good luck, I’m sure you will love turning!
I started with bottle stoppers. Very forgiving if you don't know what you're doing yet. If you go too far, well then it's just for a smaller bottle now.
Smart!
You had me at rolling pins now i know how to make on
Thanks Glenn, I appreciate you watching!
Great idea, thank you for sharing.
Thank you Sandra, I appreciate you watching!
I just watched two of your "Project That Sells" videos after spending most of the day turning a clarinet stand. Well done...very interesting and informative! Good blend of real-time and 8x video speeds. Great tip about aligning the tool rest with the bed rails! New sub!
Now about your auto-focus...
Thanks Todd! We dont talk about the auto focus!! HAHA. I am working on that actually. Thanks for watching!
It’s amazing what makes most of it so beautiful from just being seen as hardwood
Thank you!
Realy enjoyed the subject matter relaxed me after a stressful morning getting the kids ready for school
Will be heading out to my work shop to see what stock i have in
Thanks Keith from the Isle of Wight Great Britan
Thanks Keith, I’m glad! Thanks for watching! Good luck with yours!
Nice job and well spoken throughout. Easy to follow demonstration that could be duplicated in almost any shop (sorry miny lathes).
Thank you for the video and tips.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate you watching!
Great rolling pins Lewis.
Thank you Jack, I appreciate it!
Great video! Stay safe.
Thank you Chris, you stay safe as well!
Love your videos. Thank you for the tips.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Those looks great Lewis!
Thank you Bruce! I appreciate you watching buddy!
Great instructional video. A lot of people I know like to make things to sell, and these videos give them ideas. What I like best about your real time sections is that for the beginner, it gives them a reality check on how fast you can cut. I am not sure if you included the lathe speed in rpm, but that is also a useful thing to know.
Thank you Eileen, I don’t have a display on my lathe to show RPM but it was in the 1700-1900 range. I appreciate you watching!
I love Canadian wood workers!
Thanks for watching Billy!
So many of you’ll are great turners and are so willing to share your techniques. Thanks again!
If only I baked cakes and pastries more often lol. Thanks for the demo hun. great video.
Thank you Wendy, I really appreciate it!
Great instructional videos. I’ve subscribed.
Keep em coming.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Tom, Nice small project to get back into turning after your break. 😉
Did I have a break? Thanks for watching Thomas!
Nice rolling pins Lewis Well done. 👌
Thank you Laurence, I appreciate it buddy!
Excellent instruction. I'm trying one!
Thanks Brady! Good luck!
Your video was engaging, so it was easy for me to follow along on your journey. Video quality and audio quality were on point and did not detract from my experience of the video. Your expertise in this field is apparent and I thank you for sharing your process with us so we can learn from you. TH-cam is great, right!?
Yes TH-cam is great! Thank you for your comments and thanks for watching!
Very nice. I have always wanted to try to make one. Now that I have seen your video, I will more then likely give it a whirl. Thank you for sharing your video.
Thank you Mark, I am sure it will go well! Thank you for watching
Great video, Lewis. Really enjoyed the Premiere! Take care, buddy!! 👍👍👍
Thank you Gord, pretty elementary but geared for people getting going. Next week, (if everything goes as planned), a large resin/burl piece! Thank you for watching.
Very nice! Fast, simple. Good idea
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I love you channel you videos are informative, constructive and the demonstration/ videography are perfect. Great ideas. Merci! Kingston Ontario 🇨🇦
Thank you Sylvie, I really appreciate it!
Thanks - great to watch for a newcomer like me:)
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks Klondike great videos!
Thanks Bailey, I really appreciate it!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I just tried a French pin. Turned off the camera 3/4 through
Nice!
AWESOM AWESOM .GREAT JOB MY FRIEND ,FROM DOUG
Thank you Doug, I appreciate it buddy!
You do an excellent job with your videos. Great camera work and your explanation as you progress through the project is very helpful. Nice work!
Thank you Denny, I appreciate it!
Nice one Lewis, I might try these myself mate.
Shay
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Awesome I have had some ppl of I could make them some of these now with your video I feel more confident to make one now thanks
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Awesome video! I laughed out loud at "You're going to run out of wood in a while". I am new to woodturning and have not turned it on in over a year. I tried a few things and did not stop trying because of "running out of wood", as frustrating as that was I stopped because of frustration not realizing my tools were dull, and then the final straw was the tool I have dubbed the "suicide by lathe tool" the skew chisel. The one thing I wish you mention in your video regarding lathe speed is instead of "pretty fast", and actual rpm. I still have a passion, but now afraid of introducing the tool to my workpiece and magnified with rpm setting. I have a jet 1221vs lathe so the range and speed are more than I need at this point.
Well enough rambling. Thank you so much for your video and before I forget, I am hitting that subscribe button.
Thanks Glen! I had another comment about RPM as well and I do give that when I think of it now. I appreciate you watching!
I just love your rolling pin, I have a mini lathe, soo, to practice, I am going to make some mini rolling pins, scale the dimensions, thank you for showing how to do this...
Thank you for watching Jack, enjoy the Mini rolling pins!
congratulations, master guinea, you are doing a nice video👍🏻
Thank you , I appreciate it!
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing ! Merry Christmas 🎄!
Thank you Dan, to you as well!
My name is Duane I enjoyed your video on turning a rolling pin, I like how you explain things and a lot of the noise of turning is gone
Out of the video good job
Thanks Duane! Lots of controversy about lathe noise and music. I appreciate you watching!
I use a welding glove to do friction polishes. Keeps me from getting a hot hand! Like the rolling pins.
Thanks, great idea on the glove!
a great idea, thanks
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 🇧🇷👍💯
Thank you!
I've really enjoyed your series on projects that sell! I'm a relatively new self taught turner and you have given me some great ideas. I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the good work
Thank you Trey! I actually blown away by how many have subscribed since I’ve only been uploading videos since August 22. I appreciate you watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Youre welcome. I think I was one of your first 300 subscribers. I have learned a lot for sure
I really like the way you demonstrate your work. Good camera angle, good narration, good editing. Rolling pins are something I am getting ready to do before I found your channel. You demonstrated just how straight forward they can be. Thank you for a great video. I have liked, subscribed, and run the bell. I look forward to watching more of your work.
Thank you Tim! I really appreciate you watching!
Like your work
Thank you George, I appreciate it!
Great stuff. Careful understandable
Thank you Peter, I appreciate it!
Rolling pins are fun to make
Yes they are Mike, thanks for watching!
Just sub'd!! Great content!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Awesome,
Thank you Jim!
Love a good rolling pin. Never used a French on though.
Thank you Vicki, not many around here use them either. I’d make 200-1. Thanks for watching
Nice! My wife likes to bake, guess what I’ll be turning!
Thanks David, you should make her one for sure! Thank you for watching!
Excellent demo. Restate the key dimensions at the end as a reminder. Thanks 😅😅
Thanks Geoffrey. These really can vary in size, all preference driven. Thanks for watching!
Great video Lewis. First project I ever did on the lathe was the rolling pin I use still. I did it on a General lathe. Looks like your might be on a General.
That’s cool Peter, yes it is a General. I appreciate you watching!
Great instructional vid! PLEASE…DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING!!! Especially love the “real time”. So have you done a vid on how you laminate wood together for blanks?
Thanks!!!
Thank you Mark. I do speed things in the larger project videos as not many people want to watch an hour. I appreciate you watching!
i like your technique for making rolling pins...quick and easy does it. The rolling pins look great also. Wax is an excellent way to finish the wood. But I would note one issue when using wax. When using a rolling pin in baking, you almost always want to flour the pin so that the dough doesn't stick. The wax prevents the flour from sticking to the pin. So, often. the dough sticks to the pin (even though the pin surface has been waxed.) I still wax my pins because it makes the pins attractive, but I tell my customers to "rough" to surface when washing the pin before use.
Thanks Robert! I’ve not had any issues with flour sticking to this wax finish. I’m not sure what wax you use but HUT works great. I’ve gotten lots of feedback from people using them. Thanks for watching!
Good informative video thanks
Thank you Malcolm!
