- In this video Mike Peace demonstrates how to wood turn an angel Christmas ornament of wood on a lathe. This is a basic spindle woodturning project that can be used to develop or enhance the ability to use a skew while still producing a useful item. It is a fast and easy beginner woodturning project.

Mike, brilliant video. If this was your first attempt I would say it is a great success. I think the camera work was first rate. I liked the process for turning the angel and how you used the cutoff for the halo. I hope to see more vids.... Sam
I was going back looking at some of my old videos and comments. I appreciate your encouraging comment on my first video even with its rough edges!
Cool video love it
Hello Mike,
I wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your great videos! I am new to woodturning and absolutely love it. I have watched most of your videos, but wanted to comment on one specific video. First a little backstory... My 88 year old grandmother, suffering from dementia, had a stroke on Aug 2. One night after my family left the hospital for the evening, I happen to come across your video on turning a small angel. I watched the video a few times and decided I needed to make one. Now, my grandfather, who passed away a few years earlier, had always had his wood "projects" so we always joked about being a "wood butcher". So I have followed along his path using woodworking as my "hobby". I could not sleep that night so out to the shop I went. I made an angel in the morning. That evening my 9year old daughter and I gave her that angel and said grandpa is watching out for you. Well needless to say not a dry eye was found. My grandma passed away on Aug 4 with that angel in her hand. That little angel sits next to the companion urn I turned for both of my grandparents. That little angel that took 15 minutes to turn has so much meaning for my family. Mike, you will never know how important that single video means to me. So I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and unselfish sharing of your skills.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. Feedback like that helps keep me motivated to continue to share my love for woodturning with video tutorials.
Thanks for posting this Mike. I can't wait to try doing an angel!
They are fun and great skill builders.
i look at it a few times it was great after my heat get well and brean stop bleading i see it a n turning great job thanks
Thank you for your video. Your explanations, hints and tips are very useful. I have a 12 yr old son who is new to the lathe, and your video has really helped him.
Thanks so much for that feedback! Happy that my video helped the next generation of turners.
You sure do make it look easy. I reckon that comes with practice. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Mike. I made a bunch of these for the kids in my Catechisum class last year and they loved them. They were great fun to make too.
Start now and do some every month and you will be ready for the next class. My 8 year old granddaughter AKA "shop fairy" loves to help me with the "angel factory" when I am ready assemble 12- 15 of these. She matches the halos, helps with the gluing, adding a ribbon and putting them in bags.
So peaceful so therapeutic so enjoyable to watch. St Joseph would love to have had a lathe.
Thanks for the nice demo, Mike. Lots of good tips.

What a great little project. As a new turner I'm a little shy with my skew, now you have given me a bit of a challenge to practice with it. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great skew skill builder and practice project. So what if you get an occasional skate back on the head. Make it a bit smaller or grab another blank. It is all good.
I have to say the first night I tried this project I was going to throw my shew away along with some fire wood! Second night I had better luck, with a better understanding of the skew points I managed to turn out two angels that looked reasonable. The shew will continue it be a work in progress for me but I truly thank you for the guidance you provided!
Nicely done sir, will be sharing with my sis who is just getting into turning
I know she will enjoy turning angels. Great opportunity for quality time with your sister.
Great video Mike. Been thinking about turning some angels and now I have a good resource to check with. Thanks for sharing. Fred
great info , God bless you Brother
great video. love these man. have to try this !
There has got to be a way to make these from colored pencils, Nick.
I truly think this is the best presentation I have viewed. You certainly have boosted my Christmas spirit. Keep it up.
Thanks for your comment!
You did a fabulous job on this video! Very easy to follow with such an adorable outcome! And yes I’m a wood turner! Keep making videos, you do a great job with them!
Thank you! Will do!
I wish I was at a computer to more easily type a lengthy comment of appreciation for a well done video. I appreciate the explanation of how you were using the tool to accomplish the beading of the head more than even watching the shaping. As most videos focus on the shaping and rare is a reference to which tool is in use but none so far as ive seen describe the how the tool is being used. Well done.If possible will you post your supplier for the sanding cloth as I know this is the ideal sanding material and as of now my only resource has been my husbands employer and as generously as they have given to us the remnants id love to be able to purchase a supply of our own.
Thanks for your support. Since this was one of my first videos, I hope I have gotten better at the explanations and videography. I get the strips of sandpaper from Klingspor. They sell a woodturners bargain box with lots of cut offs from producing belts. Every box is a surprise. Some better then others. My disks I get from vinceswoodnwonders.com/
I know this is an older one, but enjoyed rewatching it, and happy to have a strong Christian woodturner to watch
This was my first video. I think it's early success and the positive comments like yours had a lot to do with me deciding to do more videos. Thanks for your support
Excellent video Mike! I enjoyed watching this one and I'm looking forward to more!
Fantastic work Mike. That is a very beautiful angel my friend. Keep it up.
Wonderful job, easy to understand. Thanks
that metal watchband & that chuck kept me worried during the whole vid..... other than that.... nice tutorial.
I believe that may have been my very first video seven years ago. Check out the newer one th-cam.com/video/nRI9CaOW_hM/w-d-xo.html
Neat project. I'm going to try to make some of these> Is your skew flat on the tool rest for planing cuts?
No, that would be scraping not planing. Watch this video th-cam.com/video/_2ztQKZbCIY/w-d-xo.html
Going to make these soon, 7 months newbie..I am ready..learned now practice on scrap..
why dont you do the halo all in one piece of wood? Or do you angle it slightly? Thanks
Yes the halo is angled and having contrasting wood adds to it as well. The angels I have seen with flat halos do not look as good, IMHO.
this is so cool! i love it!
A very good first video Mike and a worthy project! Lately I have been watching 1-2+ of your videos a day for the last 7-10 days. I haven’t turned Bradford Pear before. Any idea of an online source for it? Back when I lived in the Peach State ( I believe I was further south of you) I wasn’t turning then so I’ve never had the pleasure of turning it. Have ever turned any Peach 🍑 ? And how long have you been turning? I know this one was published in January 2014... And you did a GREAT job with the camera work and editing for a first or second video it turned out quite well! I have really been enjoying your videos. Please keep them coming and I’ll keep watching! I’ll have to try this project. Thanks.
Ron
Ron, thanks for your support. I have been turning 11 years. Never had the pleasure of turning Peach but believe most fruitwoods are similar. You can get Bradford Pear from www.2treeboyz.com/
Elisabeth Ross is also on Facebook
Mike Peace Woodturning My pleasure Mike. I really enjoy your video’s and always learn something that I try to put to use that day. You have become a very accomplished turner in 11 years. Thanks for the source for the Bradford Pear. I watched your AAW video today (correction, yesterday) and it’s time to get off my duff and join. Thanks for the video on it.
Safe turning.
Ron
Glad I could help Ron. I think you will find the AAW a terrific resource.
Mike I really enjoyed the angel build. What is the largest of this style you've ever made? God Bless my friend, I liked seeing your "God is great" sticker.
+Frank Ingram
I don't think I have made one larger than perhaps 4". I have seen others make larger but don't feel they scale up that well. I think if I needed a larger angel, I would use a different design with wings turned and added along a style like Nick Cook published in an article.
Sharing my testimony doesn't come easy but it is easy to share an image. Thanks for the encouragement.
Very nice presentation Mike! but you should lose the long sleeve jacket!
Mike, very nice turning, and yes, God be praised for Jesus sacrifice for each of us. May the Lord bless you and your family.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Informative and instructional format is very helpful. Editing was helpful too. God bless
Excellent video, Mike!!! Thank you very much for the upload/post. With us nearing the holiday season, it will certainly be here before we know it, I was actually thinking the other day that turning some ornaments needs to be in my immediate future. The angel ornaments will be a big hit.
Nice work, simple, pretty design. Keep up the video work!!

Thanks for sharing that, I've just gotten into turning & I'm doing lots of Xmas fairs these will be a great addition to my table
Mark McCluske
Nice work Mike..looking forward to more vidoes in 2014!
Thanks Mike! Definitely adding this to my Christmas list of things to make!
Hi Mike, love the video, I really enjoyed the length of the video, lots of detail. Already looking forward to your next video.
Jeff
Thanks Mike. Just found you on TH-cam. A great first demo. John
Thanks, John. I did a newer one on angel ornaments that is a bit more crisp.
3/7/2024 watching for 4 time!! Night before class..each time i improve..i want to do this..newbi
The more shavings you make, the better you will get. Have fun.
Thank you, Mike. Thanks to you I have been making these for many years. They have made many people happy. I live in a college town and students buy them for their mothers as Christmas presents. Very cool project. Appreciate you sharing it with all of us.
That is awesome!
Just watched your post on Facebook and though I would come and see the "original." I think your comfort level with the skew has improved and you've switched to the Lacer grind. I think I'll go out to the shop and give this a go. Thanks Mike!
I like the angels as a skew skills buider or practice item. I just did about 5 before making the short video.
Great presentation, Mike. Just bought a lathe about a month ago and I'm getting the bug for turning. I really appreciate your sensible and humble presentation. Easy to follow instruction of how you do your process. I look forward to catching up on more of your videos! Blessings to you and yours, Brother!
Glad to help. God bless you and yours as well.
Thanks again, Mike. Made & sold 20 last xmas season, getting ready to do more for a craft sale next month. Your presentation is clear & well done. Bob
Wonderful!
Great project! I'm going to have to add that to my list of projects to do before christmas this year. Thanks.
Great video! This will be a fun project for my daughter and I to do together. Also kudos for publicly giving glory to Whom it is due!
Rik
Thanks for your feedback. I wish you and your daughter the best on the project.
Mike, I like the way you quietly display your faith without being "preachy" about it. Well done.
Thank you and God bless.
Thank you for sharing, love the idea of a Ornament for the Christmas tree, my only complaint is that its hard to see how you did the halo part camera too far away. Thanks Mike.
Thanks for the feedback. Check out the newer redo version of this video.th-cam.com/video/nRI9CaOW_hM/w-d-xo.html
I have been watching several of your videos and this is one of my favorites. I am new to turning and as of now, I have never turned. I bought an old spindle lathe that I am setting up now.
Good luck with your turning. Finding some small object like these that you can turn over and over can certainly build your tool control.
Hi enjoyed the video
Thank you

Love your videos. Such good info. I will try some tomorrow
Have fun!
Taking this idea to my woodshop class, asking to teach me this. Been making pens.
Excellent! Have fun.
well done tks for the video. I've subscribed so look forward to more videos.
+Edward Hill
Thanks, Edward. I welcome any comments.
I am going to make these for my 4th grade catechism class. Thank You.
+tom ziferTomZifer Great to have a purpose when you start making something. I know they will love them.
Beautiful
Couldn't you make the hallow with the head
Yes you could. In my opinion it greatly reduces the beauty. Separate halos are placed at an angle and it also gives you the opportunity to use a contrasting wood. Little details like the angle of the halo make a huge difference. Try one of each and ask your spouse or girlfriend which she likes and why. Case closed.
How would you rate your osolating sander?
I would give it 4 stars on the Amazon scale.
really like these Mike
Great job inspiring
Thank you!
Very good video Mike. I have just gotten back into turning after a long time away and have been looking for small projects to build back my skills. I look forward to viewing your other videos.
One question: did you apply any finish the the angels on the areas that you sanded?
Thanks
Usually not. Sometimes I rub on some Mylands, same as I use on the lathe.
.
The video was great and I most liked you were willing to add a faith based entry to your work. Keep turning and sharing. Thanks
I appreciate that and Gdd bless you!
Just going through some videos and came across this one Mike. May have been one of your first but I enjoyed it and learnt almost as much as your more recent ones.
Thank you so much for teaching newbies like myself, it is deeply appreciated. God bless my friend
I think that one helped me get some traction early on. I did drag it out a bit. I hope my newer ones are a bit crisper. I know I have come a long way on planning and editing.
Thanks for video. I'm going to make each grand kid one for Christmas. Great project.
I know they will treasure it.
👍❤️it
I did an update of this video a bit shorter and punchier since this was my first and I have learned a lot about video making in the past 7 years. Same basic content but probably easier to watch. th-cam.com/video/nRI9CaOW_hM/w-d-xo.html
great info , God bless you Brother
sei bravo
bravo
Thanks Mike. I wanted to make some this year and your video gave me some great ideas.
Glad to know my first video is still helping out turners.
Nice work Mike
