I have now made nearly a dozen of these. I love making them and they have been super well received.
I even made a hollowing scraper out of a cheap scraper I wasn't using. Such great inspiration!
A great project. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always! One of these days I need to get up to Provo and meet all of you folks. I know Kirk, Dr. Carter was my mentor and speaks highly of Dale and the Nish family, and Doug Schneider and I work at Woodcraft part-time.

Always wanted to turn a rattle. Excellent demonstration with comments important to the Childs safety.. Thank you
Very nice video. You make it look easy, the sign of a professional.
I was already planning on making a couple of these in a different way, then this video popped up, and I think this will be easier. Thanks!
Looks great! My wife and I are expecting our second kid in July, I'd love to get out to the shop and try making a rattle like this!
Another awesome video. Your teaching is a tremendous help to us beginner wood turners. Thank you and I hope you keep making them. Get Kirk to do more too. Love his dry humor!
Great detailed steps, I like the tip on using a bendy straw to clean it out.
The details provided - the experienced perspectives and knowledge shared is really valuable - thank you
I like your style of teaching. You leave nothing out. Nice project. I look forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Friends just had a baby. Great timing!
I like the tip on custom grinding a scraper for hollowing. I'll definitely be doing this. Thanks.
Another excellent demo. Well done.
Thank you for watching! 😊 -Mike
That's quite a cool project!! It's a whole different project to make now!!!
❤love it it is a very beautiful piece,I haven't tried a square turning yet.
Great job on the video! Very clear, concise and easy to follow.
Definitely one of the best teachers on YT (might it be genetic?) This one is esp neat, micro hollowing, hoping to do it soon.
Great video. You always do a great job Mike.
Nice project. Like the idea of using palm to sand head of rattle. Will need to make one for my grandaughter. Thanks.
Excellent easy to follow video. Well done 👏.
Personally I would use a cellulose food and toy safe sanding sealer thinned with cellulose thinners 50/50. It penetrates and dries in seconds .De-nib with 600 grit abrasive and finish with a microcrystalline food and toy safe wax.
Looking forward to your next video.
Take care.
Joseph
That's a great tip! Thank you for watching. -Mike 😊
This is perfect timing. I’m going to a baby shower next weekend and will attempt to make it this week! Thanks for the great video
Tag us on Instagram when you turn a rattle, I'd love to see it! -Mike 😊
@@CraftSuppliesUSA Just tagged you, I made it on Saturday. Hollowing the head was a bit challenging but I like the way it came out.
Very nice project, better yet is watching the technique and order of operations.
Turned out real nice. Great tip with the bendy straw. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Excellent demo, Mike, with some good reminders of some useful practices like raising the grain for sanding. I’ll be grinding a hollower, too. First grandchild is six weeks old, so time to get turning!
Congratulations on the new grandchild! Have fun turning! -Mike 😊
It was a great video on makiing a baby rattle. It was good enough that I'll be making them to sell.
Thank you for watching! -Mike 😊
Great demo and nice project. Mike, you raddle or rock!
Great video, thank you! I didn’t know EWT did a beading tool, how neat!
Great idea, something I would love to learn how to do. I'll start practicing.
Your should consider making a video on making custom Turning tools. Including what Materials and where to buy them. and Suggested shapes to start us on the right path.
What a great project. I love getting new ideas. Can't wait to try this. He did such a good job at explaining the process.
This was a great video!! Very informative. Clear instructions. Thank you for sharing!!
great video, a fantastic gift idea that i'm going to have to try. Have a several friends that will be having babies this year.
Nice project Mike. I’m currently turning weed (small flower) pots getting rid of tons of scraps around the shop.
Love the videos. Love the detailed projects and explanations on why you do something a certain way.
Thank you for watching! 😊 -Mike
Nice project. Love that you turned both right and left handed. I am right handed but switch to left handed turning a lot to get better body positioning for the cut, it is something I encourage when I demo
Lovely little rattle and this is just what I needed to see so I can turn one for my new great granddaughter.
Love the rattle designs!
I really enjoyed video. I have only made captive ring rattles for a few families. I really like the look of these! 😊
That turned out awesome Mike! 👍🏻 Thanks for all the tips you add too! Thank you sharing!
Nice job Mike, thanks for sharing.
Great video on a cool little project. Thanks for the demo.
Once again a great video.. excellentexplanations of technique. Thank you!
Another great video very educational
Thank you for sharing your skills!
Love this… I have a new grandniece to turn one for…
Great job you did a great job of explaining all the details. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
That’s amazing project well done.
Thanks for a great demo Mike. Always great project ideas & instructions on how to accomplish. As a beginner turner those smaller things you talk about & show really make a difference.
Thank you for watching! 😊
Awesome, I really like how that maple and corn sound together. I know what I am doing this weekend.
Have fun! Tag us on Instagram when you make one, I'd love to see it! 😊- Mike
Awesome demo, as are all of your videos. I love the Easy Tools!
Quick to make is ideal! The babies are so needy, my time in the shop has been cut away big time!
Nice job, I use an old allen that I've bent to hollow my bowl parts. I'll definitely try a regrind. Thx again
love that bead cutter! Think I'll get a couple. The 1/8" size would work great to put equally spaced groves in some of my wood pens.
The beading cutters are fantastic! I think you'd love them! 😊
Thank you for this video. I really take away a lot from watching you. I made one baby rattle that was a hit for a friend's new baby. It wasn't this nice 😅 These are good ideas for gifts.
Thank you for watching, If you have a pic of the rattle you made, tag us on IG, I'd love to see it! -Mike 😊
@@CraftSuppliesUSAWill do 😊
Thanks for this, your timing is perfect! Looking forward to trying to make one this weekend.
Tag us on Instagram, I'd love to see how it turns out. 😊 -Mike
Love these videos! I have learned so much and I really appreciate you guys. Definitely going to try making this.
Great idea! I’m going to have to try that
I love the look
I like the straw tip.
I often start a video thinking 'this will be a waste of my time', and it is. This was _not_ one of those times. Would've taken ten practice pieces to come up with something half as nicely done.
Love your videos Mike how you carefully explain why you do things. I was intrigued with the beading tool, nice job. How about a rattle with captive rings?
Great suggestion! We'll do a project with captive rings in the future. -Mike 😊
Great tutorial! Thanks for making projects that can be turned on a midi lathe.
Thank you for watching! 😊
That’s a cool tool!
A great video and a nice gift to give. thanks.
Great video Mike. Please keep them coming! Thanks for sharing your time and talent! KANSAS
Thanks for a fun lesson!
Very nice process and project.
Great demo
very cool project, may need to try this out sometime.
Thanks for the video!
I need to make one! ☝🏼😊
I am really enjoying your videos. thankyou for doing them. d.
This was an awesome video!
Thanks for the Information.
Incredible!!!
Outstanding Mike!! Another great video! Will you be able to do a small bowl (or something) from some really really hard wood? Maybe you've done one already?? I still struggle with the really hard hardwoods. Looking forward to seeing your next sensational video!
That's a great project idea. I'll see what I've got for some dense exotics and work that into our schedule.
Nice rattle
Good video
Tomorrow I will be trying to make one I’m going to try apple branch that has been dried since last year.
I really enjoyed your video. The real time pace and many tips make the video especially helpful. One question though. What have you found to be a good length for the handle and diameter for the rattle?
Enjoyed the video, Mike. Gives me some ideas I want to try. You have a very steady and practiced hand and your cuts are very clean. Just curious, are you left-handed or do you turn equally well with both hands?
Thank you for watching! I'm left handed, but can turn either way about the same. -Mike 😊
@@CraftSuppliesUSA I used you video to help me turn a pair of maracas from some glued-up wood blanks.
It ist a Vers very nice design of your baby rattle!
A wood researcher told me any time ago that Maple wood is also medium poisonous for babies. Last time i turned ans ball shaped rattles and fish shaped rattles from cherry wood and wild Apple wood. 😃.
Do you think that Epoxy glue ist better than white PVA woodglue to protect against cracks of the thin wall of the hollowed bulbs?
Best wishes from Austria!
Thomas
Excellent tutorial on fun project. QQ: You use water to raise the grain whereas many others use alcohol, why don’t you use alcohol since it dries faster.
I have found water to raise the grain more than alcohol does. But I do use alcohol on most projects. -Mike 😊
@@CraftSuppliesUSA Thank you
This was terrific Mike! Thanks for this. You mention the possibility of using non-toxic wood dye. I’ve tried to search toxicity of dyes. I have Chestnut dyes from Craft Supplies. Do you know about their toxicity? Other brands that are non-toxic for toys?
For toys, the Chestnut and Artisan dye would work just fine. They are both alcohol based and once the dye has dried you are good to go. However, for food use turnings I'd recommend using a food coloring dye.
Would adding some holes increase the sound?
I looking to buy a new lathe I thinking about the nova dr14 or the Laguna revo 12/16 what one would u pick or. Is there one you suggest instead
With Twin grandsons we could use this.
Very nice. What tool handle do I need for the Beading cutters? Also could use a glass marble for the rattle? Thanks David
The beading cutters fit on the Pen Turner, Easy Start Tools, and Easy Rougher; the 3/8" beading cutter only fits on the Easy Rougher. I don't think there is enough internal volume to fit marbles, I'd recommend the corn kernels or dried peas.
Very cool, what do you think about using stainless steel bearings for the inside fill? I have a Grandson coming in March so getting into the wood toy making now.
Steel bearings might make the rattle to heavy, and could hurt if a baby accidentally hits them self with it.
@@CraftSuppliesUSA Good point, thanks.
Is there an instruction video for making the hollowing tool our of a scraper? I have a problem setting the cutting edge.
Hey Jerry, Unfortunately we don't have a video on grinding the scraper. Maybe that is one we'll do in the future, but if you need some help in the meantime please give us a call at 1-800-551-8876. -Mike😊
Does denatured alcohol also work to raise the grain for wet sanding?
Denatured alcohol works great for raising the grain.
How you show me the details of it like how long and wide ?
Should I get rattled if it doesn't come out right?
I would be a bit shaken. 😊 -Mike
What do you put inside
Corn kernels or dried peas work well.
Gene Laveroni
🤞🏻🤞🏻 pick me pick me!!! 😊😊
Great video, but it would have been nice for your measurements to be in metric.
This is used to polish CA finishes and Acrylics. I wouldn't recommend using them on bare wood.
I think Mike enjoyed playing with the rattle way to much.
😂😂😂
One think I want to ask is about wearing a mask .some wear and some not .......
If I'm generating dust I almost always wear a mask and use a dust collector. -Mike
Wow very nice video thank you very much for sharing nice videos love your videos go ahead
