@Deanswoodworking I have been “studying” quite a few gonk videos over the past few weeks and built a private library for my own reference (I have significant short term memory issues and rely on my TH-cam library for reference). THIS video is going to the very top of the playlist. I love this approach more than any of the others and I know I’ve watched at least 25 so far. Thanks for such a cool way to go about it.
Thanks

I am thinking about taking up wood turning as a hobby. Your vids are great for a beginner :).
Thanks John.
Really like your teaching style. So much of TH-cam is filled with extra crap that's just not necessary. Thanks for that!
I appreciate that John, Thanks for Watching!!!
Great video! Your work is amazing and what's more, you work at my speed! Love your slow methodical approach.

Thanks Dean. Enjoyed it. See you are apart of AAW. I was for many years until I could not stand the politics anymore in it.
The gnomes look pretty good.
Thanks and best wishes from Germany
Thank you Hans best wishes to you! Thanks for Watching!!!
Great Video Dean!! Going to make some for my grandchildren! God Bless! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, have fun, and Thanks for Watching!!!
It helps to eliminate the "chatter" on a long limb like that if you bring the tailstock up for support. Good job Dean....!
I follow your all tips and really I feel change in my life 👌🏻
Thanks and Thanks for Watching!!!
Thank you Dean. Your pretty informative on your stuff and it's given me some good ideas. Hopefully after hip surgery I can go turn some of the things that I've seen.
Thanks, I hope your surgery goes well and wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for Watching!!!
I make Christmas ornaments every year for family members and was running out of ideas until I saw your video. Really cool and your tutorial was well done , as always. Thanks, Dean!
Thanks Dennis, and Thanks for Watching!!!
DEAN,, I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU WORK AND YOUR WHOLE SERIES OF ORNAMENTS HAS BEEN FUN AND INFORMATIVE. KEEP IT UP MY FRIEND
Thank you! Will do! Thanks for Watching!!!
right on Dean,looking good my man,and by the by I got my lathe yesterday,setting up will try out today,it's beautiful and very big,I happy
Congrats Fran, Have fun and be safe!!!
My clubs challenge next month is turning a gnome, good timing for me. Compared to other videos I've watched, you seem to have simplified the process. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joseph, and Thanks for Watching!!! Good luck with the challenge.
Hi Dean...
I love these little guys... I will definitely give them a go...
Looks like this is going to be a popular video... well done...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thanks Andy!!!
I have made a bunch of free standing gnomes, never thought of doing them as hanging ones so thanks for the idea. In stead of cutting down the beard to go around the beard I use a leather punch from the back to make the hole for the nose, I found that helps me hold while all the glue cools etc
That's a great idea! Thanks for Watching!!!
Very nice you did a great job on them
Thank you! Richard, Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking I enjoy your videos
Thanks Richard!!!
So simple! I hope you eventually paid attention to the poor kitty who was SO neglected 🤣
Yes, He wanted to be on the table (helping)
Hot glue is great. I have made such a mess of gnome beards with CA glue. Good video presentation, as always.
Thanks Jim and Thanks for Watching!!!
Hey Dean, i should have Gnome .... that you would come up with a great looking Gnome with character ! I gotta try it as well. Greg
You should! Thanks for Watching!!
I did, they are a fun project. I hope you are doing well and perhaps a new video soon? Greg
What a fun little project they turned out so good going to find where to buy the hair
Regards
Steve UK London
Thanks Steve you can buy the fur at almost any craft or fabric store. Thanks for Watching!!!
hello love your gnomes video,
i think I'll make gnomes my first project!
{I'm new to turning ! i just received my first lathe its a mini wen but a start}
Congrats on the new lathe Zane have fun and be safe. Thanks for Watching!!
cute
Thank You Albert!!!
Cool video and neat process. Please tell me the diameter of the piece after truing up the branch and overall height of the finished piece. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas
They Vary no two are the same.
Very Nice projet next projet christmas bell please thanks sir
Thank you! here is the link to bells th-cam.com/video/i1x2yD3fUi0/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely fabulous, great turning. i assume beard is purchased at a hobby store. Thanks
Thank you yes you can get the fake fur at almost any craft or fabric store. Thanks for Watching!!!
Lots of questions about the "fake fur". Amazon, JoAnn, Michaels and Hobby Lobby are your best bet for locating the fur if in the USA. Amazon has a good selection of the darker colors. When using hot glue and you want to get rid of those annoying glue strings you can hit them with a quick blast of hot air from a blow dryer. The gnomes are adorable. Gnomes are very big these days in the crafting world. I'm a paper crafter and have made many note cards with gnomes.
Great Tips Rochelle, Thanks for Watching!!!
New guy here. I've been wondering what to do with the 200ft of cedar hurricane Ida left me. Now I know what to do with the smaller pieces. The tree was one my dad had planted a long time ago. I don't mind that it got blown down, I just wish it would have fallen ON the barn not AWAY from it lol.
LOL I understand, Thanks for Watching!!!
Dean, your techniques are a bit different than mine but always good to see how others do it. I like the way you marked the fur cut with a felt tip pin and the heart shaped shape description is spot on. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you very much Mike, I have watched your videos for years. Thanks for all you do for the Turning comunity.
This will be my Christmas ornaments this year. Thanks for the well done tutorial. As a side note, it’s hard to find a nose in a floor of shavings.😕
Glad it was helpful! it sure is lol.
Nice project. I don't understand why you wouldn't support the piece with your tailstock whenever possible.
Good point! use it if you can. Thanks for Watching!!!
Love these -- Is there a reason to hollow out the body if you plan on sealing the top on?
only to reduce the weight since they will be hanging on a tree. Thanks for Watching!!!
Cute, can't help but wonder if the green branch wood splits with time?
I have not had a problem as long as I finish them as soon as i turn them when using green wood. Thanks for Watching!!!
If you don't mind small suggestions, drill the hole while it's on the lathe with more wood. Then turn the wood down to the size you want. This takes care of tear-out.
Thanks for the tip, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Selamat malam.teman.pekerjaan yang bagus.#masjabrikdiy
Thank You, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Great project. Gnomes are the hot item right now. What are the rough dimensions of a typical gnome?
I am not sure I can answer that question. I make them all different sizes These are about 3 -4 inches half being the hat. Thanks for Watching!!!
Hi. Lovely little objects. Could I ask why you hollow out the body if you intend to glue the hat on, please ? 🤔😌
To make it lighter since it’s an ornament hanging on the tree. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for that. You probably did say why, on the video, but I haven’t any sound on the computer 😡Much appreciated.
@@sandyfox8723 no problem Sandy, Thanks for watching!!!
Sweet project! Where did you buy the pin vise that fits into your drill?
I bought it off Amazon its just a regular pin vise but I took the collet off one end. That will let it fit into the drill chuck. Thanks for Watching!!!
The gnomes are very cute. I just don't understand why you're sticking your the hats on with glue. I will make them as small containers, then you can put coins or objects in them. The hat serves as a lid. Thanks for the great idea and the great video! Greetings from Germany
Thank you! 😊 I only glue them on for the ornaments because they are hanging on a tree. See the Gnome with a Secret Video th-cam.com/video/7EU1FxQgiNM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for Watching!!!
Really cute! Where do you get your “fur”?
you can get it at any craft or fabric store. Thanks for Watching!!!
Looks just like a little neighbour I had when I lived over by the holler.. Nice job.. Did you get that cat fed?
The cat was not happy because he wanted to be on the table helping. Thanks for Watching!!!
@Dean's Woodworking I thought thecat was nervous that it was going to have give up its fur for a beard... lol
Dean, great job! However don’t understand why you drilled out the body. Why not keep it solid?
Charles It was just to make it lighter since it hangs on a tree limb. Thanks for Watching!!!
What do you use for the beard? Great videos
The beard is fake fur you can get it at almost any craft or fabric store. Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Good Morning Dean. Greeting from Northern Ireland. Just to say I have been enjoying you videos for the past few months. One simple question. Where or what do you use for the beards on the gnomes? Good wishes
Thank you Douglas the beards are fake fur you can get it at almost any craft or fabric store thanks for watching!!!
Amazon also sells the fake fur in several different colors (grey, brown, white).
@@rochellenowik9875 many thanks. I visited Amazon
Great tip Thanks rochelle
Is there a reason you don’t use a live centre in the tailstock to minimise vibrations?
I do when I can
Just out of curiosity, what do you sell your gnomes for?? If you don't mind??
I belive those sold for $35
@@DeansWoodworking Thank you.
Hello mate.
I`m looking for a new sander and would like to ask you which one you use.
here is a link to the one I use It's from Woodturners wonders.
woodturnerswonders.com/collections/unique-tools/products/angle-drill
I like the method. I am however always nervous when I see a turner wearing a watch or a ring while turning. I have seen people get caught
Thanks for Watching!!!
wjere do you purchase the hair material? How do you fine finish the wood?
Fake fur you can get it and almost any craft or fabric store. I use spray laquer.
What is the beard fur?
Fake Fur you can get it at any craft or fabric store. Thanks for Watching!!!
Looks great but it sounds like you were killing the cat
He was upset because I would not let him on the table to help. Thanks for Watching!!!
Are you still able to find that 3M sandpaper on sale? I've just used my last and can't find it anywhere.
I have not seen any in some time now.
@@DeansWoodworking thanks for the reply. I guess I should have loaded up on it the last time I saw it but was hoping you knew of someone on your side of town that had it.
I sure wish I did, and like you I wish I had bought more when I had the chance.
You did not say where and what the beard is . Where can you purchase the beard material?
The Beard is fake fur and you can get it at almost any craft or fabric store it is also available on amazon. Thanks for Watching!!
Dean what state do you live in?
Texas
What is the purpose of the 7/8 hole ?
Why not just turn the hat and body one piece?
Its all about removing weight. remember this is an ornament to hang on a tree. Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking thank you, I'm new to turning
Welcome to the world of turning, Be safe and have fun! if in doubt ask someone.
Where did you get the fur for the Beard?
you can get it at almost any craft or fabric store or on amazon. Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking thank you. I am new to this and love your videos I have done lots of snowmen/icicles and the bird hous. Not as good as yours. But still learning. LOL Have a Merry Christmas.
What did you use for the finish on the Gnomes?
@@jackdurning8637 rattle can lacquer
why do you drill in the bottom
Just to make it lighter. Thanks for Watching!!!
Is your cat in heat?
No but he did want to help and was not happy that we would not let him Thanks for Watching!!!
I see no reason for turning the body and hat in two pieces, unless yo want to make them into a box.
you don't hav too it just makes the lighter. Thanks
