Looks very cool! I’d put a bit of bright tape on the end of the spoon handle when turning the scoop so that you can better see where the ‘danger zone’ is
Brilliant method for chucking the scoop after turning the handle! I bet it would smart, if one forgot about that disappearing handle and let a body part get in its path. Lol
I was worried about there being enough swing clearance to the lathe bed too! Maybe wrapping some orange tape around the handle could help keep it visible. Really good second-chuck method.
@@thecatofnineswords That is a great idea! Even if you try to keep your hands in the ‘safe zone’ it’s easy to lose focus and suddenly you have a broken hand 😬 Colored tape would help 👍
It’s the same for me :) I’m still finding new uses for it, and the skew is really growing on me. In the next video it’s almost only skew, making a box :) thanks for watching 👍
Nice job. The coffee scoop I made is two parts. I made a flat-bottomed bowl with end grain. I made a jig similar to yours, to glue the handle on in the correct position.
Seems like you could do the same thing but for the handle to make 2 or 4 spoons out of the same block of wood? Make two oversized balls at ear end with a much larger center section. Then cut it in half lengthwise up to the ball on one end and stop. Turn it around and rotate 90deg and cut in half lengthwise stopping before the ball on the other end. Then you would have 4 spoons with shafts that need to be rounded and hollowed out. Could that work?
Nice practical job , Thanks for showing how it is made , I drink lots of coffee and will have a go at making one of the scoops, Currently I use a rubber cup case mould to measure the amount of bears required before tipping them into my grinder.
Amazing! I've always wondered how spoons were turned and had a completely different image in my head of how it might be done but your video just gave me a whole new level of clarity on this subject. So thank you! OK now, I do however know how a tea-pot is turned but if you could post a video on that - I'd love to see your take on this?
This is incredible. New woodturner here and stumbled upon this inspiring channel. Love this kind of content. Keep it up! Looking forward to watching and learning more.
Cool I’ve wanted to try this since getting my lathe but always been too scared! I’ve thought about maybe making a big plywood disc with a cutout for the spoon so I don’t have to worry so much about hitting myself with the handle…
Set the tool rest as in this video and think of it as a fence. Then, don't cross that fence! Also, think, and keep on thinking. Make every move slowly and deliberately. One other thing: don't rest your "other hand" on the tool rest while sanding. :)
Thank you William! I am very happy with the result. I can’t take credit for the method, many before have tried this. Check out the links in the description to see some of the inspiration for this. 👍
Excellent fixture design. If you go into production, I would make it from polymer. Or spline the cross grain on the lid, so it doesn't split and throw it at you.
Nice timing. I've begun making coffee scoops but with a different chucking method involving PVC pipe. Getting brave enough to use good wood rather than scrap. Good ideas in your method. Thanks.
I was really happy with the design of the spoon 👍 I can’t take credit for the idea. I have seen these on youtube a bunch. Check the links in the description for some other videos 😃
Hi. Spoon made. It turned out ok but it’s about half the size of the one you made but a great foundation. I’ll end up with a ladle next time.😂Thanks again.
@@joncooke2450 Thank you! 👍 I used some meassurements I got along the process, but it was not very precise. I got a bit lucky as well. You can actualle remove the piece from the jig to check as you remove material, which is the best way I think
Very clever and more ingenious than many other methods I have seen. Was thinking what if you turn the sphere (or oval) in the middle while keeping enough wood for the handles where you can use the same jig to make two scoops for the price of one😁😁
That is a good idea! This was the first time trying this and it never crossed my mind, maybe next time 👍 I can’t take credit for the jig, check the description for some links to my inspiration 😃
I kind of wish the handle had been placed in a slight angle on the lathe, when the bowl was cut, so it wouldn't have been so flat. Just a 5 to 7⁰ angle would have provided a certain charm and twist to the product.
Looks very cool! I’d put a bit of bright tape on the end of the spoon handle when turning the scoop so that you can better see where the ‘danger zone’ is
Now that is clever! I’ve never seen anyone do that before. Cool!
Thank you Tim 🤩 It’s not my own jig design but it sure works. Check out the links in the description to see my inspiration 👍
@@nordicturning I’ve seen a similar jig done on kakusa but never a spoon
Brilliant method for chucking the scoop after turning the handle! I bet it would smart, if one forgot about that disappearing handle and let a body part get in its path. Lol
Thank you Ken! 😃 yeah that was a big consern, would probably break my hand if it got in the way. Had to stay focused 😉

@@thecatofnineswords Good idea on the bright tape!!

Beautiful craftsmanship
It's always enjoyable seeing someone using a skew; for me, some days it works like a charm, and other days not it all. Thanks for the inspiration.
It’s the same for me :) I’m still finding new uses for it, and the skew is really growing on me. In the next video it’s almost only skew, making a box :) thanks for watching 👍
very clever! I'll give this a whirl this week! what a cool idea and great timing too -- I was in the market for a coffee spoon
Glad you like it! Good luck and stay safe 👍
Me too, on it 😊
Cool! You can make Pinocchio' eyeballs the same way in case you wanted to make a wooden doll

You should give it a try. I was surprised how easy it was with this jig 👍
Thank you for sharing such a brilliant “tutorial” i will certainly be making some of these. Your use of the skew inspires me dust mine off.
Now I REALLY want to try this idea - thank you for the video!
Very good. This is a really excellent method that could be used in other applications. Thank you for teaching me a new skill.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Very cool idea and well demonstrated!
🤩 thank you!
Excellent! Cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Europe
well well thats the coolest idea ever thanks for sharing from Terry in Ireland ,,
Glad you like it Terry 🤩

Hi David, that is a good idea! I will try to make a more permanent jig I can use again. Plywood would be ideal. Surprised I didn’t smash my fingers 😆

@@clarencegreen3071 that’s the trick, keeping focus and don’t rush 👍

Nice! Really nice!
That turned out great. I think I’ll give a try myself but I may break a few trying. Thanks
Thank you! 😃 yes you should, it went a lot better than I thought it would. Just don’t get your hands in the way of the spinning handle 😉

Nice! I prefer to hollow the scoop first and then turn the outside and the handle, but may give this method a try
👍🤩
Might have to borrow this idea👍 nice one
Go ahead, really fun project 👍
Unbelievable and mind-blowing
🤩 thank you!
That was great
👍🙌

Just out of interest, how did you judge the wall thickness??
