@@theokingshango well, neighboring house anyway. I love turning videos but this is the first one that made me go, holy shit I wouldn’t even want to be in the same room with this going on.
I know what that is. It's a big waste of good wood. I sure hope he uses all the shavings for something . Like mix some of the dust and chips with epoxy then make some guitars out of it. Something useful .
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.
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.
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.
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 ?

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.

@@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
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
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…
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.
Question: I'm not much of a wood worker, but I've been watching these crafty videos. I've seen y'all do some crazy stuff with that clear resin and was wondering if there's a way to use all that sawdust and art molds like with plaster and ceramics. Waste not and all that.

about 5 years ago I saw one of these creations in a really large furniture store while visiting Laos, of the hundreds of pieces of furniture in that store I only took a pic of this. forgot all about that pic. A couple years ago I first saw this video and thought how cool is that! Shortly after seeing the video I found that pic taken in Laos and ever since try to come up with a way to buy a cargo container of these and have it shipped to the US where maybe folks would pay big $$ for one of these, and enjoy the beauty of it...
Just to have the balls to trust the equipment securing that massive log, I give kudos 👏 If one end breaks loose 😖 Oh yeah... thumbs as well 😖 As far as the quality of workmanship/woodmanship 👍👍👍👍
Once he's done this a few times he'll probably develop some serious skills and make this look easy. For now we'll just have to watch him struggle through.
How is that? So it branch out and starve other trees from fully maturing. You do realize that once a tree reaches maturity it’s better to remove it so others can as well
naive comment, akin to not removing natural undergrowth...even though it leads to massive fires from minor lightning strikes due to it being fuel. The result is burnt down trees and forests. Trees are a beautiful 100% renewable resource! No clear cutting though!
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.

Is that what it is? I just thought it was yard art or something!
This makes chess physical. Need strength 💪 to move the pieces. 😊

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?
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

And you know it's going to warp and crack... There's no way a log that thick has the same moisture content.
One of THE most amazing wood turns I've ever seen! You've go some serious skills!
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.
I got carpal tunnel just watching this
Was not expecting this guy to make what looks almost like an entire Greek or Roman column from wood lol awesome job
It's a vase for sunflowers.

@@randommadness1021 the resemblance dude not the actual thing itself 🤦♂️

was a living tree not that long before and something that size must have had a whole ecosystem living in it. and now its a...whatever the fuck that is
Ya no, was thinking the same thing, what a waste of
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
There is at least 2 of them, so I still don't know wtf it is lol
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

This is an amazing video all on its own. I just thought about this and didn’t know if you had considered it.
I agree, it's a shame to waste that beautiful bark! It could be finished into wonderful bowls and vases, tables, stools, etc., with resin!
Hell of a way to make toothpicks!
Wow! What kind of wood is that? Saw no growth rings. Well done!
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.
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
Beautiful!!! I will admit I almost soiled myself when you broke out the chainsaw. Awesome job!!!!!
WouW....Masterpiece! And not his first rodeo, it seems.
👍👍👍👍👍
This man needs some safety goggles 😂 awesome technique!!! Love it
I thought the same thing!!!
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
I didn’t care for his safety technique. He needs to switch to a smaller chain saw for the smaller areas. Saving time is not always the only objective.
Beautiful. But would have been funny had you kept turning it down into a toothpick.
😂😂
Yeah i also waited for him to turn a 1m diameter tree into a broomstick.
Waste of a good tree!!!!

How is that? So it branch out and starve other trees from fully maturing. You do realize that once a tree reaches maturity it’s better to remove it so others can as well

No clear cutting though!
