That little thing looks Great. It is important to note you did Not stick your finger in there when you were sanding where it could have been cot, twisted and possibly torn off. For sanding deeper than the lip, where you finger did not go, one might use a rod or piece of PVC with the sandpaper wrapped around it. Loved watching how that ruff caterpillar piece of wood, turned into that wonderful little thing. Great job.
In the beginning you had what appeared to be a Jacob’s chuck with a small but long drive center in it . Where did you get the long drive center a ? Enjoyed your presentation thanks
Thank you! I got that drive center from Amazon. It turns out it was really small and doesn't grip the wood to well. It's actually designed for a really small lathe. I also got this one. amzn.to/4fkkMUR . it's small to, but grips better.
Amazing what a difference a few burnt lines can make Rus. I'm about ready to start turning again after my shoulder replacement. Gonna make a wire and give it a try. Question, what make is your yellow lathe? Thanks...Dan
Thanks Dan! I'm glad to hear that. You must be chomping at the bit! The yellow lathe is a harbor freight. I've had it about 4 years. It's been great. The only thing I don't like is the Reeves drive is pretty loud. It would be nice if it was quieter for my videos. Take care buddy! Enjoy your shop time when you get in there.
Thanks Rus, definitely a little chomping going on. I use a harbor freight also (father's day gift), for it's short comings, it has worked well for me. Really do enjoy your channel. Thanks...Dan
A while back I had a really nice steak. When I was done I discovered we were out of toothpicks, so I went out to the shop and turned one. It worked great and it's excellent skew practice.👍 Thanks for watching!
Seen a few of your videos lately, and I have a question. Why do you use the bowl gouge instead of a regular/roughing gouge? Not saying that there a "right" way to do it, I'm just curious.
@@robertsumner6347 I do it mainly because I've just got used to it. I use minimal tools and less things to sharpen. A lot of newer turners are intimidated by sharpening. This also shows you can do this without a lot of tools to worry about.
There are a sackful of videos on using the skew. I recommend John Lucas as one who explains the various types of skews, how to use them, practice with them and sharpen them. He is on YT.
Use the same technique as when passing a semi on a narrow road at high speeds. Close your eyes and just go for it. But really, skews are so versatile, it is worth getting over the initial intimidation. A little time spent becoming comfortable with a skew will pay itself back in no time.
Many times I don't know what it will be when I start. I let my creativity lead me. Also a lot of my viewers are new to woodturning. So sometimes I do extra steps to show tool positioning and technique. There are lots of other channels that don't do that. Maybe that's your cup of tea. Thanks for watching!
@manuelalvarez7551 this woodturner never claimed he turned full time, nore did he state he earned that sorta annual income (although 100k + is certainly possible). To actually turn 6per hr, 48 ish per day etc etc, you'd obviously still need too gather, prepare & glue up the necessary materials required to achieve it let alone sharpening and maintenance etc. Often as soon as some people think a woodturner can earn $10 in 10mins, turners can be accessed of charging to much. Clearly this guys skill and experience represents the many many years of training it's taken to make him the craftsman he is today. That experience is well worth 100k + PA - in reality it's often worth a lot more than that.
A demonstrator at our woodturning club said he charged $1 a minute machine time. The idea is turning things that sell quickly and not overprice simple items. Saw a woodcarver who was charging hundreds and thousands of $$$$ for carvings from Holy Land olive wood. Needless to say, I never saw anyone buy anything.
I love the small quick sale items.
Ya, There also great for practice.
That's pretty good too
Thank you!
That was really fun to watch! Thanks for sharing that. You’re an inspiration with a skew….
@@bobsmith3790 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching!
You should see Steve thewoodturner He’s an absolute master!
Combination of very sharp tools and the perfect touch
OH BOY! Far from perfect! More like sharp tools and lots of practice.
I'm nothing special. You can do it too! Just lots of practice.
Nice! Weed pots are a good item at craft shows for me as well. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! That's the majority of what I sell. Appreciate you watching!
Nice !! Love how you make beautiful functional turnings. Thanks.
Thank you!
I appreciate that!
Very nice!
Thank you!
Nice work, thanks for sharing

Nice work with the skew 👍👍
Thank you! You should have seen me when I started.

@@sandiekelley8513 Thank you!
Ya the hole was to small for my finger. The rod with sand paper is a good idea. Thanks for watching!
What type of wire do you use for the burned part?
@@Granite_Gunsmith I use bailing wire.

Nice cute cat in the backround he was up to something😂😂
I think it belongs to the neighbor
very nice little project. But what is it? A vase or a candle holder?
Vase. I said at the end. I guess you didn't watch it all.
@@RcWoodturningDude, you called it a twig pot. I was also wondering what that is😂. Cool little project though.
Where do you buy your gouges
There are links in the description of most of my videos. I got mine at a local store but amazon has them.
Is that a regular wire hanger ?
@@coachingangels bailing wire

O@@RcWoodturning
Loving these almost daily vids try one of the snowmen I emailed you
Thanks!
I was saving that for the holiday season.
@@RcWoodturning ahh can’t wait to see it your much more talented than I am can’t wait to see more!
@@Davesaman Don't sell yourself short. The one's you showed me look pretty amazing.
@@RcWoodturning thank you
And if you have enough time you can make a tooth pick from a 2×4 😂
A while back I had a really nice steak. When I was done I discovered we were out of toothpicks, so I went out to the shop and turned one. It worked great and it's excellent skew practice.👍
Thanks for watching!
OH! It wasn't a 2x4 it was a cherry tree branch.
Hey I can make six toothpicks at a time from a 2x 4
Flipping burgers gets $20.00 an hour .
I have the holder when you get them done.👍

Scew chisels scare me, a slighgly wrong angle and the whole thing splinters
Ya it scared me to. The secret is to keep the bevel on the wood. When the bevel comes off the wood, it sends you running for the underwear drawer. 🏃
I bought a skew chisel just like the one on screen, we just glare at each other now from across the shed.
You have to show your dominance over it or it will control you. You can do it!

Not gonna lie, I got distracted by the cat out the window behind the tailstock ad had to rewind.
I did a little too when I was editing.😁
👏👍😀👍👏
Thank you!
I bet its more than 10 min for sure😂
Well I certainly don't work as fast as I used to. But I still can do it in 10 min.
How many kangaroos is that, or is it rabbits?
How many?
Не понимаю..миллион движений..туда сюда..а в результате простейшее изделие для детей...Иди вы, до последней минуты не знали, что хотите сделать? 🤔

Really? With a 40 hour week that's over $100,000 a year.
Amazing! Isn't it?

Excuse me but $1.00 a minute is a great way to starve to death
