Man, I don’t want to be a buzzkill, but you made me very uncomfortable when you started putting your thumb so close to the tip of your chisel. With a piece of wood that big, if your finger gets caught in the wood, chances are it’s going to get pulled down, towards the tool rest, which, in your case, could act as a blade. From there, depending on the speed and how much of a grip it gets on you, you can lose from the tip of your finger to a part of an arm. Be careful, my friend, you have to keep yourself intact so that we can keep appreciating that beautiful work of yours!

Wow all those shavings, you could put them into a barrel with some epoxy and turn a whole new project when it dried, there must have been tons of shavings...lol Beautiful piece, a real work of incredible art
@kevinmoore5053 Yes, a piece of work for sure. Your idea about the epoxy? Good luck breathing in all that epoxy dust. Not good stuff. Trust me, after years of using all kinds of solvents and paint strippers. Those fumes smell funky for a reason.
Can only imagine how terrifying it must be to sit beside something of that mass spinning at those speeds. Let alone to poke and prod it with tools just wanting to bite in and take you on the ride of your life. Then you do it enough times that it all seems like it’s normal.
I’m more amazed that those small points hold all of that mass. If that thing came loose, it’s definitely game over. Amazing skill, you have to respect a tool & piece of of material like that or it will make you pay. That’s what makes this guy a master, he knows how far to push it safely.
Beautiful indeed.. but it makes me wonder if this is part of the Pacific Northwest Redwood groves that are stockpiled by companies and wealthy businessmen in China. I would rather have the groves back…
You ever consider finding a way to take those layers off as sheets instead of trimming it down for that first bit. It would make gorgeous floor or wall coverings! The gradients of wood and bark in a sheet are amazing! And you make some extra money while learning a new skill? This is an amazing video all on its own. I just thought about this and didn’t know if you had considered it.
It’s spindle turning…..nothing complicated about it. Impressed with the endurance required, but so much of the wood could have been cut away initially (and used for other projects) instead of turning it into shavings- “work smarter, not harder” - and I thought (hoped) we’d see a fountain, with colored water at night under lights, flowing out of the top (I thought that’s why it was drilled out in the center, for plumbing). That’d be cool. You could carve all sorts of wonderful designs into it - but if it’s going to be left plain, as is, well….it could have been styrofoam or resin (and a lot less work, and one less dead tree). Hope you’re planting trees to replace the ones sacrificed to ornaments…..remember, the trees made life POSSIBLE on this floating rock in the first place !!!! Without them, this place is full of CO2, and completely unlivable……and we thank them by chopping them up, endangering our own survival. BRILLIANT Ever consider how a tree produces hundreds of thousands of leaves every year, yet the earth around it doesn’t get used up ? How do they make all that material “out of thin air” ? Leaves are mostly carbon and water…..trees pull carbon right out of the air, and can DRINK water right from the air (mostly at night when humidity levels go way up) Now there’s 8 billion of us, taking in oxygen and exhaling CO2…….and what percent of the world’s trees are GONE ? YOU SHOULD FIND OUT Because there’s a DISASTER coming WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE TREES THAT MAKE THE OXYGEN WE BREATHE.
@@niptart1275 You’re right but that’s not the whole picture There are a million times more people Today’s tree:human ratio is extremely concerning, the twenty year trend is awful and we are cutting down trees at an alarming rate Look it up
I never saw a more satisfying video on the TH-cam, but this one. I personally have seen practical wood and metal lathes, but this video sets my experience down to zero. By the way I like your hand safety pads, made out of shoe, I personally admire it because your safety comes first. Good job! Thank you for sharing your experience and skills. A greate gratitude from Ethiopia.
@@STEVENMULHALL I'm sure you never saw what a waste look like. In this typical video there is no wasted product, but the scrapes can be used as a burning wood like the fire wood. Nothing else ... no hard feelings brother
That was simply beautiful how long did it take you to make it? I especially love the designs that came with the wood after it was painted it stood out.
Love the design but in my opinion I think you should have just clear varnish because the wood speak for it self that spray take away the beauty of the wood but it was beautiful
While the vase is lovely, there was too much of that beautiful tree wasted in its creation. When you look at what is left from what he started with, it's criminal how so much was gone. I love watching wood turning and these artistic people. The amount of waste though in wood turning as in this particular time, is wrong. The tree should never have been cut down in the first place. Yet it was, so it needed, all of it, needed to be respected. Too much waste here. Lovely, yet far too much waste.
What an interesting international comments section, with all points covered from the love of the art through the practical use(lessness) of it to bleating that it's not a table and chairs. The whole gamut is here. Thank you.

When he first started working the rough wood on the lathe. That was the scariest thing I’ve seen for a while. I don’t know about that finish, maybe it looks better in the flesh. Amazing work though by a master.
When I was an apprentice machinist back in the prehistoric days I got to work on an engine lathe that had a 60 foot bed and a 12 foot chuck, and a set of steps to get to the levers where you changed speeds. The great part was you had a seat at the post and traveled along with the cut. lol
Be hilarious if he whittled the whole thing down to a baseball bat.

I wouldn't say "hilarious", but considering the hack job he did, it's not far from your idea.
😂😂
That’s going to be a heck of a chess board when he’s done.
That's what I thought part way through the video. He's making a giant bishop.
lol
Is that what it is? I just thought it was yard art or something!
This makes chess physical. Need strength 💪 to move the pieces. 😊

Wonderful work but deserved a much better final finish.
Oh gosh yes! I think everyone agrees this log was wasted....

Now that is a real lathe! And you can tell that the craftsman doing the carving has done this a time or two. Great job on the piece 👌
Aye, the other one in the background made that pretty clear 🤣
Now we just need to know the answer to the question- Why?

And I though my stubby was scary with big stuff! Workin the crap out of that scraper
Every person looks at safety a different way.
This guy is a professional and I'm sure he knows what he's doing and how to be safe while doing it
Seems like he’s doing fine
One of THE most amazing wood turns I've ever seen! You've go some serious skills!
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.
I appreciate the artist being willing to share this video. Such wonderful techniques. 🙏
Was not expecting this guy to make what looks almost like an entire Greek or Roman column from wood lol awesome job

And you know it's going to warp and crack... There's no way a log that thick has the same moisture content.
Great! Now make another one so we have a matching pair.
You can see another one that is just the same in the background toward the end when he's taking it off

I had trouble turning a salad bowl in highschool!
It still sits on an angle.

Truly. You'd think he would be picking splinters out of his corneas every night.
If he needed them, he'd have them.
@@TheWoodworker1966he have a plenty spare eyes, I suppose
Very impressive, but surely it's intended to be more than a yard ornament, right? I was thinking pillars to hold up a roof or something

Just like my ex rolling over in bed
One wrong move and it could rip your arm off.
I was thinking the same thing. The placement of his thumb on the tool and the proximity to the wood was making me very nervous

Was thinking the same. Something that heavy spinning at that velocity would turn you into a human bowling pin if it got loose
Would have been better if the giant tree was never cut down
🙄
🤦♂️
One tree, one giant piece. But imagine how many IKEA cabinets you could make with those shavings!
What do you think everyone does with all their wood chips and shavings? Pack 'em tight, and right off to the presswood factory!

Hell of a way to make toothpicks!
WOW !!! WOW !!! VERY NICE
The craftsmanship here is impeccable. Truly inspiring
Beautiful piece of wood 😍 amazing work!
What a waste of a beautiful piece of wood. Now the world's most impractible candle holder.
I'm a 35-year carpenter. I love it. This is why we do it. I haven't done this but I would if I had that tool.
