Woodturning my aluminium handle on my Record Power lathe

In this video, I am demonstrating how I use my Carbide Woodturning tools to turn an aluminium handle. I also talk about my Record Power lathe.
This video is aimed at new turners using my Carbide Chisels.

Nice job, like it.

Thanks

[@jonathanflynn9467]

There was never any doubt in my mind. Thanks guys

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Jonathan.

[@paulhubbard3691]

That was really interesting to watch nobody should doubt carbide cutters now thanks Glenn and Liza.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Paul. You'd think that was the case Paul, but there are still people out there calling carbides scrapers.

[@mashmade-airth]

Really interesting & good to watch Glenn proving to the doubters that carbides are so much more than scrapers

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

I fully agree. That's what I am hoping to get out there. It's such a myth about carbides.

[@m.straughton]

Great demo Glenn all it needs now is a clear lacquer to stop you from getting black hands whilst using it 😀

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Mark. Thanks for your comment. Yeah I planned to do something like that. Got clear lacquer to do it.

Great video showing just how versatile carbide chisels really are! Really enjoy your turning skills …. Almost as much as your friendly “waffling” 🤠🇨🇱

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

They really are Randy. Glad you are enjoying the videos. We are enjoying making them. I've got plenty to waffle about. More to come.

[@JimmyLee0757]

That was AWESOME DUDE!!!! Those are some amazing cutters. I don't think I want to put mine through that. I keep looking for some better cutters but they all look, pretty much, the same with a30 degree grind. I'm glad I watched the video, sometime back, where you talked about honing the carbides because that saved me from throwing useable cutters away. Thanks for sharing

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Jimmy. My pleasure.

I had that same problem with the RPM readout. Open the headstock cover, clean it out. The reader is the holed disc closest to the chuck. It fixes it.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you for that. I'll check it out.

[@michaelstubbs6319]

How did the hole get drilled and the 3 tapped holes must have missed a bit

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

I drilled the holes on my drill press. The video was about turning the aluminium.

[@peterhicks]

It must be so hard for you sometimes taking the critique you must get Glenn, I really hope this video allays some of it but, probably not…
I/we can only imagine what comments you get.
Fantastic demonstration of your tools & cutters, not forgetting of coarse, your skills of Glenn

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you P, you will always have the carbide hater’s, takes all sorts to make a world.

[@Anilm3]

At this point no one can doubt the quality of your cutters, but this demonstration takes it to another level, absolutely impressive. Do you recommend the normal cutters or the negative rake ones for brass? I hadn't thought of it before, but after seeing this demonstration I might try to make some brass handles for a cabinet I've got.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Anil, I would only recommend the normal cutters/ the ones I used. You want to use them to cut not scrap

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Sorry meant scrape

[@GavSedae]

Great video, Glenn. New subscriber! Is your 'smock' a golfing t-shirt? Where did you buy it please? Gonna check out your channel today

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Gav and welcome to the channel. No, it is just a slip over top I bought from a Charity Shop. Up cycling. Perfect for woodturning as the wood doesn't stick to it.

[@GavSedae]

@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 Nothing wrong with a charity shop bargain. I've found loads of good stuff in ours

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

@@GavSedae you get loads of stuff. A lot are still new, with labels on.

[@swampyindustries6718]

Nice to see Glenn, I've got a lump of aluminium billet for the base of a resin table lamp I'm planning to do this year. Glad I got your cutters to do it with.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

@@swampyindustries6718 nice one. Just remember don't use them flat. Let me know how you get on.

What is the big lathe??
