    Andy , a niice quick project made from off cuts or left overs . I would sand the openings and rub some wood wax in so they are not the raw wood edges

    Hi Andy
    Like you I saw Mikes video and promptly went into mass production,I turned out ten for and up and coming market,only sold one.
    But great little project, nice change from bowls and gets rid of some scrap wood.
    Good to see you back at the” happy place” again.

      Well I hope that you enjoyed making yours but it's a shame and a surprise that you didn't sell more..
      I love making stuff out of scraps...
      I've got quite a few bowl blanks but rarely turn a bowl... must do one soon for a change...
      I do like my time in my "happy place ' I hope that you are enjoying time in your workshop too..
      Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

    Nicely done, Andy. I made one of these last week for an ornament exchange at the local woodturning club. Used a larger hunk-o'-wood (2 1/2") as I was not sure a 2" spindle would be big enough. Now that I see it is, I will be making a few more smaller ones.

    Hi again Andy,
    great job. I gleaned an idea from one of Mike Peace's videos, inserting a small mirror in the top to help reflect some light from the candle. Maybe a bit OTT? I'll send you over one to try (if you have the inclination),
    Cheers & Seasons Greetings from Titanic town.

      It's a fine lathe for the money although it has increased in price quite a lot since I bought it...

    Hello Andy. Great video. Thank you so much for the inspirational and educational video! super like and new subscriber. I do have a question about finishing the inside. My question is simply how would I finish the inside on the lathe to match the outside?

      Hi Glen...
      I'm glad that you found the video useful...
      Thank you very much for your super like and subscription...
      To sand and finish the inside...
      Stick some velcro around a piece of 3/4 inch dowel and use the 2 inch velcro sanding pads ..
      Or wrap sandpaper around the dowel and ca glue to attach or double sided tape...
      Just don't stick your fingers inside...
      To polish, you can just wrap a piece of cloth or paper towel around the dowel...
      I hope that this will help...
      Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

    Do you have a video detailing how the glue block works and how best to use it? I tried making one after watching your Xmas tree video and had difficulties.

      Hi Asvaldr....
      I have videos where I use glue blocks but none that explains how to make and use them..
      I will try to make a video on the subject in the near future...
      Gary from The Papa 1947 has done a video explaining how he makes them...

    Hi Andy, made half a dozen of these for friends over Chritmas and they loved them. Great little gift idea. Each one was individual, one even looked like a beehive, thanks for another terrific video.
