Woodturning - Exotic Timber Shavings To Unexpected Pieces?!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2022
- I've had all of these shavings on the work bench for a while now, they are just too beautiful and I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. You may recognise them from previous projects; points to anyone that can name any of the projects they come from.
I was really struggling to think of what to use these for but then saw the little plastic cups I used in the middle and thought about a whisky tumbler.
However, I think they may be a bit too big, and it's really unfortunate that the glue I used to hold down the cups in the middle dissolved and sent small glue chunks throughout the epoxy. Does look a bit like snow now! 🤷♂️
Let me know what you think! And don't you traditionalists worry, I won't use epoxy in all of my videos... I just had a few ideas 😉👍

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This was the last video with the old lathe! It was sad to say goodbye, but it was time for an upgrade. I've got the new Axminster AP508WL installed and ready to turn, so stay tuned for lots more exciting projects. What lathe does everyone else have? Or are you looking to buy your first? 😁👍
I have a little Axminster - an old version of their current 305WL. I do wish it was a bit bigger sometimes but I don't really have the space for anything much larger!
Great job as usual Harry! I started less than two years ago with an Holzmann DF460FXL. Last year I had an upgrade with an Holzmann 810. It' an Austrian brand, I choose it for the low price, but it works well for my little projects. Cheers from Italy!
I have a tiny bench top antique lathe, powered externally. I currently hook it up to a vintage Black & Decker single gear drill via a dimmer switch, for primitive speed control. As you might imagine, I don’t video my projects, such as they are!
Stratos XL. It'll probably see me out. I started off with a mini Proxxon model makers' lathe to make pens. I belong to a woodturning club and it's traditional to pass your old lathe onto a beginner or someone on low income when upgrading.
@@alansimpson596 what a great tradition 👏
Thank goodness I'm not the only individual to save even my shavings off my expensive, exotic wood. This makes me feel much better, although I've yet to use it - I do keep it all. Great work, and thanks for sharing.
Jeff I absolutely obsess on using as much wood as possible I hate wasting anything... 🪵😃👍
I was wondering if wood guys did this. I love watching the videos & I know how expensive the materials are that are wasted
I hate it when people pour loads of resin, then just turn it all away. You have appealed to my frugality gland! Nicely done.
I second this comment!!!
I just made today, some bloodwood epoxy coasters with real gold leaf mixed in. they have a deep maroon color that (surprise surprise) looks like blood. The gold flakes look absolutely beautiful!
Sounds great, thanks for sharing ... 😃🪵👍
All that pure white resin shavings would look cool mixed in with silvery blue resin, or black. I think it would make a cool vase or something
This is one of my favourite video, finished with a nice single malt. All I can say Harry is, shop, when is the shop!!!x
Thanks Matt, there just simply aren't enough hours in the day!!! 🪵😃👍
- How much air bubbles do you want in your epoxy?
- Yes
To be honest Sylvain, none but there was a chemical reaction with the epoxy and glue I used when it went into the pressure pot! However they are very uniform and I think quite effective... 🪵😃👍
Great project. I started out with a Jet Mini years ago. I now have a Laguna and using it daily. Quite happy with it.
Thanks John, how many years turning is that.. ? 🪵😃👍
Great video as always 👍 And Solidarity to all the sacked P&O workers ✊
Thanks Sol and quite right with the terrible treatment of P&O workers, appalling fire and rehire policies.
Harry, very interesting video! I love when people recycle things and I think wood shavings are the best! Beautiful cups! Love watching you turn.
Your Florida friend, Dotty ❤️ 😎🙃
Thanks Dotty recycling ♻️ is my passion and I hate wasting any Wood! Cheers 🍻 ... 🪵😃👍
Interesting video to watch and see the creativity used. Well Done!!!
Thanks for your comments May, much appreciated... 😃🪵👍
Great projects 👍
Thank you! 😄
great idea Harry...turned out really well...a lot of work! ........
Thanks Angela glad you liked it! That's why I stuck to a pair of glasses, 6 would have taken far too long ! 🪵😃👍
Beautiful idea
WOW! That thumbnail looks like an Indian recipe card for chicken jalfrezi , showing all the wonderful dry spice ingredients! 🍛 😋yum mmmmm
Thanks Sol, you are quite right, although I like the milder curries but I do like a chicken tandoori. What's your favourite? 🪵😃👍
@@HarrySmithShorts got to be a jalfrezi or madras
@@solidarityworkers6900 🔥🔥 👨🚒 🚒
Geez, all that just for a slug-o-whiskey?
No seriously... beautiful work. Well done!
2 for 1. You did a good job with this. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers 🍻 Doug ... 🪵😃👍
Great idea !
Thank you John ... 😃🪵👍
I like it a lot!!! Beautiful
Thank you Raul ... 😃🪵👍
Cool idea and the result is awesome. Nice work. Will need to get myself some Talisker again.
Thanks Jiggsy 😊. It's my Dad's he loves it, but won't let me have any. He says I won't appreciate it!
😃🪵👍
@@HarrySmithShorts lol, it took ages before my dad let me partake in his whisky.
@@JiggsysShed 🤣😂👍
Now those are REALLY cool!!! ❤️
Cheers 🍻 Patti ... 🪵😃👍
Unexpected and great technique
Thank you Sean! 😁👍
Very nice Harry!
Thanks Lisa, I'm glad you liked it, you have good taste ... 🪵😃👍
Wasn't whati except they are really nice well done
Thanks for watching and your comment Amanda 🪵😃👍
+1 for Talisker - Skye is on my list!
Beautiful glasses.
Thank you James 😁👍
very nice indeed
Many thanks bear ... 😃🪵👍
Harry I like this. been looking for an idea to use up some skateboard pieces and think this may be what I'm looking for. Thanks for the idea.
No problem Chris, glad it helped with some inspiration ... 😃🪵👍
Nicely done!
Thank you Alun 🪵😃👍
Nice work Harry and a great idea. Keep well, John
Thanks John and cheers 🍻 ... 🪵😃👍
Nice!
Thank you Angelia ... 🪵😃👍
Great work, but you should have turned a Glencain style whisky glass. Cheers
Thanks Darryl, I will have to Google that as I'm not a whisky drinker ... 🪵😃👍
Awesome, and cheers....glug glug glug LOL :)
Cheers 🍻 Amber ... 🪵😃👍
You do good work 👍
Can you remember any of the projects these shavings came from? Points for whoever can name the most 😂😉👍
Yes 👍
What's my prize?
Yes the colors was unforgettable, congrats on the lathe upgrade. Plus using the epoxy is a fun watch. Cheers 😊
@@solidarityworkers6900 you need to name them Sol! 🪵😃👍
@@gizzymeows5847 thanks Takka 🪵😃👍
Great idea Harry and I really like the finished product! I've just been turning some Rose Myrtle and Purple Heart and have got a load of shavings - and you've started me thinking! Where do you get your resin?
Congrats on your new lathe, I look forward to seeing it in action!
I started with a little Axminster hobby lathe but treated myself to a Coronet Regent a couple months ago - it's a good balance between power and versatility while still being compact enough for my limited workspace. I'm still getting to grips with it but loving the gains. That said, I love the quality and reliability of all the Axminster range - I will keep my old Hobby lathe for when I start going to craft fairs and for smaller projects. Why do we get so attached to our lathes?
Thanks Paully. I try to use everything that's a byproduct to the turn, I just hate waste. I buy the resin locally from my woodshop and also Amazon.
The new lathe is working out well and fantastic, its taking me to another dimension!
Take care Harry ... 🪵😃👍
Really nice pair of Whisky Glasses Harry.
I really like Talisker as well from the Isle of Skye.
Great video as ever mate but did wonder for a while what you were doing.
I have the 406 by the way.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Cheers 🍻 Huw. I must admit the Talisker is my Dads, he spent a lot of time around the Scottish Isles and loves a malt! 🪵😃👍
How come the clear resin, which was clear when you took out of pressure pot, finished all cloudy? Was that planned?
Hi Noel, thanks for you comment, there was a chemical reaction with the epoxy and glue I used when it went into the pressure pot! However they are very uniform and I think quite effective... 🪵😃👍
Very nice sir simple and useful 👍
Very cool. I take it the alcohol has no affect on the resin.
Thanks Michael it might do however there was a small deception and it may not have been my Dad's whisky 😉
3:35 I never understood this.. but why do you mix the glue (resin?) stuff on a piece of wood and then apply it to a different one? Why not just mix it together on the piece you're going to use?
Try U.V. resin to give it a glow in the dark effect but looks nice when light up with U.V. Light.
I like them! Good idea! Why waste the shavings?
Thanks Stephanie I just simply hate any waste! 🪵😃👍
Muy creativo,👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖

Cheers 🍻 I prefer to let the wood speak for itself and allow the tools to tell their own story as they make their changes. 🪵😃👍
Beautiful glasses pass the Scotch
Cheers 🍻 Tim ... 🪵😃👍
Cheers m8!!
I skipped to the end. What happened to the exotic wood shavings? It looked like a couple of epoxy cocktail glasses to me.
Cheers 🍻
Cheers Sony! 👍
I thought a pressure pot was to help get rid of air bubble?
bravo
Thank you Jean! 😁👍
Interesting
Er,…..um a,…….ok,…….don’t know if I would drink from those containers. I wondered where you were going with this project.
Like to keep everyone guessing Robert, its okay they are perfectly clean .... and it wasn't really whiskey, it was all just a ruse ... 🪵😃👍
First time watching this channel. Why does everyone else use a vacuum to remove air bubbles?
Why do use Pressure. The cups look like they are full of bubbles.
Very nice new to the channel just wish u did voice overs
Thanks Laura. I prefer to let the wood speak for itself and allow the tools to tell their own story as they make their changes. 🪵😃👍
I love your unique styles
Many thanks tiger ... 🪵😃👍
I didn’t think resin was food safe?!
The food safe resin is. Does what it says on the tin ... 😃🪵👍
Was waiting for some cool wood shaving effect but mostly just clear resin. Not bad though.
Wow Amazing #GreatSkills

Really ? Ice in a single malt ? :o) :o) :o)
I was thinking more along the lines: SINGLE MALT IN A PLASTIC CUP???? Even if the cups are AMAZING....
It was acting Thomas, a slight deception ... 🪵😃👍
@@roadglide127 again a slight deception, my Dad would never allow ice 🧊 around his malt whisky let alone wasting as a prop!! 🪵😃👍
Hİ 👋👍
First again erbakan!! 🪵😃👍
totally unexpected
Use some wood shavings and create a lot of micro plastic. Hmm.
Wait until the next video, where I combine micro plastics with carbon!
I dunno. All lot of energy for a very small result
My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
Bye!
NO! It was tea Apistosig, honest, my Dad would never let me use the single malt ... 😃🪵👍
IF I find you drinkin' whiskey out of these things I'm gonna' unsubscribe!
🤣😂 now now Apistosig.... 😃🪵👍
I'm trying to figure out whether I'm just hangry or my negative feelings about this video are genuine.
First, I notice almost a third of the video is about vacuuming the epoxy. That's a part I just skipped. Then, after the usual process of turning the pieces that turn out to be a pair of tumblers, I see whiskey being poured *from a measuring glass*, notice how murky the tumblers look, and then you even add a couple ice cubes just to cut my appetite. Then, to top it off in the most ridiculous manner, there's the plastic sound from the glasses clinking, ending the video abruptly. I had to rewind the last few seconds to try and have a look at the glasses because you didn't take the time to show them off, but none of the wood chips show, just a nondescript dark coloured bottom.
The whiskey serving preferences aside, I think you missed the opportunity of showing off the finished glasses properly. I hope my comment inspires you to play around more with lighting and camera angles. As they were shown, the top part seemed almost dirty (which is sort of off-putting when consuming a fine beverage), and the bottom part showed pretty much nothing special. I know you've done better, so here's one hoping for progress!
Too bad the epoxy wasn’t clear.
Sorry, but decent whisky should never never be partaken of out of plastic glasses no matter how unusual....
I also don't understand the reasons for wearing gloves anywhere near a lathe - a disciplinary matter when I was doing my apprenticeship.
It was tea 🫖🥃 swp.
H&S is so important, I have always worn gloves, it is a subject that is regularly raised on here, I always cover in the description field and disclaimer. It works for me but I do not promote their use to others, it is very much a personal choice. 👍😃
Oink
Putting ice cubes into whisky... blasphemy!!!!!
Horribles. Te faltó creatividad para hacer algo que valiera el empeño.
