Hi Elaine... Thank you so much.. I'm glad that you liked it... I made one last weekend for a gift... they are great fun... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
I can imagine using a bowling pin for this. My uncle would get pins from bowling alleys that could not use them anymore for free. He would then turn them down and make wooden soldiers. Very nicely done Andy.
Hi Brian... Yes.. I turned a bowling pin a while ago and it was almost identical... That sounds like a great idea making soldiers from old bowling pins... I bet the wood is good too.. Thank you very much... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Just like all your animal turnings, this one is very clever and life-like, Andy! I just don't have that kind of imagination but appreciate that you do! 😊 Phil

Super cool! I like him very much. I wish I’d thought of using the compass for marking out the eyes and ears evenly when I did my mice!

Hi Jeanie... Thank you... I'm glad that you liked him... Haha... this is the 1st time that I have used a compass to mark the eyes etc... I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier either...

It's a wonderful giraffe and a cute birthday gift! You're just a few steps away from creating my favorite animal, the moose! I have a set of wooden salad spoons that have moose heads on them and thought about you just the other day. I wanted to send you a photo of them as the antlers are very stylized and simple. Maybe a future project? Thank you for sharing this adorable giraffe and bringing a smile to my face! 😊
Hi Gwynn... Thank you very much... That's a cool favourite animal... Strangely I saw a moose head on a wall in a stately home that we visited today... I'm assuming that you have them in Oregon... I will add it to my to-do list and you never know... If you would like to send a photo.. you could e- mail me .... andy.paramore@btinternet.com I'm glad that it made you smile... Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Yes, there are moose in Oregon, but just in the very northeastern corner of the state, and only about 60 of them. The first moose sited there was in 1960 and it's believed that they wandered in from neighboring states to the north. When I was younger and living in Idaho, I was fortunate to see two moose in the back country while hiking with a friend. We stayed very quiet and out of their way!
Hi Andy 👋🏻 What a lovely tall little creature 😊👍🏻 He looks so good-hearted, our Gerry the Giraffe, one is tempted to get one 😉 Must be the first giraffe in Cornwall! I remember having seen giraffes in Paignton Zoo some thirty years ago… I wonder if they still have them… Anyway, we really must start to think of making a wooden barn big enough to provide room for all the critters you are creating… and I suspect we are not through yet… more to come 😎 That will be great fun for Rexli to play with, can you imagine… Indeed I would like to play with them myself 😊👍🏻 Keep’em coming, Andy… Now that Cornwall seems to be drying up, how about a camel 😉 Glad you are having a dry spell, even though somewhat cold still… Same here, dry but still quite cold 🥶 Take care, Andy, have a lovely week! Byeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude... I'm glad that you like Gerry... He was the only Giraffe in Cornwall until I sent her up to Stockport to my Niece... I've just had a quick look and there is a herd of Giraffes at Paignton zoo... I will have to make another while I can remember how to do it for my collection... Perhaps an Ark would be good, then I could make 2 of each to live in it... By the time I could finish it Rexli would probably be grown up Haha... I have got more planned.. I have had requests for a dog, a turtle, a moose, and I have started working on a Bumble Bee.... but it's proving to be difficult... Remind me in case you have already told me and I have forgotten... what is your favourite animal..?. Haha... Cornwall drying up ... we have just had such a wet and windy week.. everything is soaked again.. A Camel would probably get foot rot Haha... I'm glad that it's dry for you, if a little cold... summer is coming... Have a lovely weekend Jude... Take care...All the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations What??!! Gerry has already left Cornwall!!?? Well, this is a bit of a shock, disappointing even 😤 A replacement must be organised at once… You best make two while you are at it, Andy… Loyalty does not seem to be these giraffes‘ strong suit 😬 Why not make a big one and a small one as well… Father and son… Chuck and Charlie, 2nd and 3rd giraffes in Cornwall 😃👍🏻 I would also have a great name up my sleeve for a camel… Larry (from Lawrence 😉), 1st camel with webs on the hooves in Cornwall… but maybe this is a tricky one… like the bumble bee… I wonder how you get to turn the wings on a lathe… Well, let‘s see 😎🤞🏻As for my favourite animal, mmmhhh 🤔 I find hedgehogs very cute, and we have had dogs and pigs and cows and peacocks and pigeons and bees and trout and even two desert spring mice, but I guess I would have to say CAT 🐈 for my most favourite animal 😊😁 Looking forward to Bill the bloated bumble bee then 😉😂 Just kidding, I am sure it will look great 👍🏻🐝 Have a great and hopefully dry and sunny Sunday, Andy, take care 🙏🏻 Bye for now 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude... Blimey... Sunday morning already... I agree... these Giraffes are fickle creatures and he was off like a shot at the 1st opportunity... The two sizes is a great idea and I will name them Chuck and Charlie... Larry the webbed footed Camel in Cornwall... hmmmm.. and I do live in Camelford.. It could be tricky to make.. and I would get the hump if it went wrong... Haha.. I will look into making a Cat ... that's going to be interesting... I'm still struggling with Bill... I hope that you have had a good week and that you have a lovely day today... Take care Jude... all the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations Hey Andy 👋🏻 Crazy how time flies, I know… Right, the hump will be on you… But as you live in Camelford, I wonder how come Larry (like in Lawrence of Arabia, by the way) is not keeping company to Erna and Bertha and all the rest of them in the notorious storage cupboard already… 🤔 So Bill is being a bit of a diva you’re saying? Well, I am afraid that is what those male bumble bees are all about… I know, I should have told you before… but you’ll see the better of him, I am certain 🤞🏻😉 Looking forward to the cat 🐈 👍🏻😎 and to Bill, of course 😁🐝 Have a great week, Andy, stay safe 🙏🏻 So long 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude

Haha... it's true what they say..
There's no such thing as a mistake, only an opportunity for a design change...
I bet it's cute ...
Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
Yes! I Like it...and so would my young grandsons! Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Hi Stephanie...
Thank you so much for your kind words and it's a pleasure to share...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great fun this one Andy, really nice result too - all the best!
Hi Paully...
Thank you very much...
I had great fun making this one...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I've just finished setting up my workshop - wouldn't mind a video on how you do your content videos, what cameras, software etc!?
Hi Paully...
I will see what I can do 👍👍
@@AndysCornishCreations Thanks Andy!
Thanks for that, will try and have a go, keep up the good work. Very inspirational to turners, especially new ones like me 👍👍👍
Hi Stuart...
Thank you so much for your kind words...
I hope that you will have a go at making one...
It's fairly simple when you break it down to individual parts...
I would suggest that you put the leg groove in the body when the body is still mounted on the lathe..
I found it difficult to get a good grip in the vice...
I hope that you have fun making it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great project Andy! I'm sure Lexy will love it! Happy Birthday Lexy! Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Hi Stephen...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it..
Lexy did love it ... thank you for the birthday wish...
God bless you and yours...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice giraffe
Hi Chris...
Thank you very much...

Creative wood turning, and we get a bit of bonus humor at the end! Nice job Andy. What’s next up from the menagerie?
Hi Todd...
Thank you very much...
I do like a bit of "Dad" humour Haha...
Ahhh what's next... I have been asked to do a dog and a turtle but I have been working on a project with a sting in the tail .... watch this space..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Super cool! I like him very much. I wish I’d thought of using the compass for marking out the eyes and ears evenly when I did my mice! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it but when I saw you do it the lightbulb went off, so thanks for that! Always enjoy watching your videos Andy. Best wishes from 🇨🇦 and it’s snowing here!
Hi Jeanie...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked him...
Haha... this is the 1st time that I have used a compass to mark the eyes etc...
I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier either...
I think that because there are 6 holes in the head .. precision was more important...
I hope that you find it useful...
I'm so pleased that you enjoy watching my videos...
Great to hear from Canada... hope that it's not too cold in Ontario... enjoy the snow... we rarely get any..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice little project Andy! Especially like the skew information for the sharp edges.
Hi Rockin R...
Thank you very much...
The skew does a great job of taking out the uneven surfaces... use a round nosed scraper for the internal curves...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Well done!
Hi Doug...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Fun turn. Happy birthday Lexy! I miss the rain on the roof, but bet you are not missing it right now.
Hi Valerie...
I had fun making this one...
Thank you for the birthday wish...
Haha.. you are quite correct... I'm not missing the rain... it's clear, bright, Very cold and windy here ...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
New to woodturning
Gonna give this a try for my granddaughter😀👍👍👍
Hi Act Mountain Ash 8...
Welcome to what I think is a great hobby...
I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have...
I don't give many things as presents but I have given 2 Giraffes as gifts and they loved them...
I'm sore that your Granddaughter will love yours...
I would suggest that you make the groove for the legs while it is still mounted on the lathe...
I had trouble gripping it in the vice without damaging it...
Have fun making it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nicely done Andy! I’m looking forward to trying all these animals. If ever I get to a craft market again, they will be excellent impulse buys.
Cheers, Rick
Hi Rick...
Thank you very much...
I'm glad to hear that you are going to give them all a go ...
I think that craft markets will be back this year...and yes these are great impulse buy items...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
happy Birthday Lexie
Hi Snobear41...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Love the Giraffe, most definitely will make some. Thanks again for a great video.
Hi Gerda...
Thank you.. I'm glad that you liked it and that you enjoyed the video...
I hope that you enjoy making yours... I would recommend working on the groove for the legs while the body is still on the lathe rather than the way that I did it using the vice...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
I think you really had fun with this one I know I had fun watching you thanks for sharing
Hi Tim...
I did have fun making this one and I'm glad that you enjoyed watching it...
I do like to keep these videos light hearted ...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thoroughly enjoy your vids,thanks,Andy. Loving the animals. All the best,Dave in ( for once ), sunny Wales!
Hi Dave...
Thank you so much for your kind words... I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos...
It must be as rare to have sunshine in Wales as it is to have it in Cornwall... Haha...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Ain't that the truth! Cheers,mate,Dave.
Love the Giraffe, most definitely will make some. Thanks again for a great tutorial.
Hi Gerda...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it...
I hope that you enjoy making yours...
I would suggest that you make the groove for the legs whilst the body is still mounted on the lathe... much easier...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Love him...so cute, thank you for mentioning the tools for me 😀
Hi Jenny...
Thank you so much.. I'm glad that you think that he's cute...
My pleasure... I will try to keep mentioning tools etc in future too...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Magnifique !!😉👍
Hi Yves62...
Merci boucoup 😊👍
That's really cute, Andy!
Hi Billy...
Haha... thank you very much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
It's a wonderful giraffe and a cute birthday gift!
You're just a few steps away from creating my favorite animal, the moose! I have a set of wooden salad spoons that have moose heads on them and thought about you just the other day. I wanted to send you a photo of them as the antlers are very stylized and simple. Maybe a future project?
Thank you for sharing this adorable giraffe and bringing a smile to my face! 😊
Hi Gwynn...
Thank you very much...
That's a cool favourite animal...
Strangely I saw a moose head on a wall in a stately home that we visited today...
I'm assuming that you have them in Oregon...
I will add it to my to-do list and you never know...
If you would like to send a photo.. you could e- mail me .... andy.paramore@btinternet.com
I'm glad that it made you smile...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Yes, there are moose in Oregon, but just in the very northeastern corner of the state, and only about 60 of them. The first moose sited there was in 1960 and it's believed that they wandered in from neighboring states to the north. When I was younger and living in Idaho, I was fortunate to see two moose in the back country while hiking with a friend. We stayed very quiet and out of their way!
The zoo is getting bigger 😁
Nice job Andy!
Hey Wiktor...
Haha.. you are quite correct.. and more to come...
Thank you very much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy 👋🏻 What a lovely tall little creature 😊👍🏻 He looks so good-hearted, our Gerry the Giraffe, one is tempted to get one 😉 Must be the first giraffe in Cornwall! I remember having seen giraffes in Paignton Zoo some thirty years ago… I wonder if they still have them… Anyway, we really must start to think of making a wooden barn big enough to provide room for all the critters you are creating… and I suspect we are not through yet… more to come 😎 That will be great fun for Rexli to play with, can you imagine… Indeed I would like to play with them myself 😊👍🏻 Keep’em coming, Andy… Now that Cornwall seems to be drying up, how about a camel 😉 Glad you are having a dry spell, even though somewhat cold still… Same here, dry but still quite cold 🥶 Take care, Andy, have a lovely week! Byeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
I'm glad that you like Gerry...
He was the only Giraffe in Cornwall until I sent her up to Stockport to my Niece...
I've just had a quick look and there is a herd of Giraffes at Paignton zoo...
I will have to make another while I can remember how to do it for my collection...
Perhaps an Ark would be good, then I could make 2 of each to live in it...
By the time I could finish it Rexli would probably be grown up Haha...
I have got more planned.. I have had requests for a dog, a turtle, a moose, and I have started working on a Bumble Bee.... but it's proving to be difficult...
Remind me in case you have already told me and I have forgotten... what is your favourite animal..?.
Haha... Cornwall drying up ... we have just had such a wet and windy week.. everything is soaked again..
A Camel would probably get foot rot Haha...
I'm glad that it's dry for you, if a little cold... summer is coming...
Have a lovely weekend Jude...
Take care...All the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations What??!! Gerry has already left Cornwall!!?? Well, this is a bit of a shock, disappointing even 😤 A replacement must be organised at once… You best make two while you are at it, Andy… Loyalty does not seem to be these giraffes‘ strong suit 😬 Why not make a big one and a small one as well… Father and son… Chuck and Charlie, 2nd and 3rd giraffes in Cornwall 😃👍🏻 I would also have a great name up my sleeve for a camel… Larry (from Lawrence 😉), 1st camel with webs on the hooves in Cornwall… but maybe this is a tricky one… like the bumble bee… I wonder how you get to turn the wings on a lathe… Well, let‘s see 😎🤞🏻As for my favourite animal, mmmhhh 🤔 I find hedgehogs very cute, and we have had dogs and pigs and cows and peacocks and pigeons and bees and trout and even two desert spring mice, but I guess I would have to say CAT 🐈 for my most favourite animal 😊😁 Looking forward to Bill the bloated bumble bee then 😉😂 Just kidding, I am sure it will look great 👍🏻🐝 Have a great and hopefully dry and sunny Sunday, Andy, take care 🙏🏻 Bye for now 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
Blimey... Sunday morning already...
I agree... these Giraffes are fickle creatures and he was off like a shot at the 1st opportunity...
The two sizes is a great idea and I will name them Chuck and Charlie...
Larry the webbed footed Camel in Cornwall... hmmmm.. and I do live in Camelford..
It could be tricky to make.. and I would get the hump if it went wrong... Haha..
I will look into making a Cat ... that's going to be interesting...
I'm still struggling with Bill...
I hope that you have had a good week and that you have a lovely day today...
Take care Jude... all the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations Hey Andy 👋🏻 Crazy how time flies, I know… Right, the hump will be on you… But as you live in Camelford, I wonder how come Larry (like in Lawrence of Arabia, by the way) is not keeping company to Erna and Bertha and all the rest of them in the notorious storage cupboard already… 🤔 So Bill is being a bit of a diva you’re saying? Well, I am afraid that is what those male bumble bees are all about… I know, I should have told you before… but you’ll see the better of him, I am certain 🤞🏻😉 Looking forward to the cat 🐈 👍🏻😎 and to Bill, of course 😁🐝 Have a great week, Andy, stay safe 🙏🏻 So long 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Another great turning Andy. Thanks for taking the time to share. 👍🏻

Love your sense of humor. You make these look so easy. Thank you Andy
Hi Denise...
Thank you... I do try to keep it light hearted...
These are simple projects when you break it down to single parts...

Another fun project Andy, keep up the good work 😊
