So THAT is what those texturing tools do. That looked awesome! I wondered what those were for when I saw them in a magazine. There are so many fun things to do in turning. Before I got a lathe and tried it, I thought turning was just pens, bowls, and table legs. I quickly learned there is a whole world of different things you can make with a lathe. I like your videos because you show all kinds of stuff. This birdhouse would make a perfect Christmas present for my sister, so I'm going to make one. I made some of your ring holders and enjoyed that very much.
Sam, do you have a source for the little birds for the perch? I think it is a cute idea and will go over well. Also, I'm looking for very small eyes to screw into the top and the right kind of thread or wire to hang them with. Mike Peace recommends a type of beading string and I found it at Michael's craft store. I'd prefer to find a good online source and order it all from one place. What is your source for things like this? Thanks.
Sam, nice job, I like the rustic look with the live edge. I have some branches that are about the right size, I'll see what I come up with. Cheers, Rich
Nice ornament. Like the offset to allow for the perch or a sort of porch when you don't have the branch. Learned a few tips to try on my next one. You mentioned those maple rounds. Wondering where to get them. Several years ago, there was a guy that had a pile of them by his drive and was selling at a dollar each. I which I had stopped the car and picked some up. I had not seen them since until your video.
Hi Sam Nice work as always. Do you have a video of one of your club open houses? Would love to see one! Thanks for showing your work. Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada
This video is starting a minute or so from the beginning. I am working on a fix. You can start the video at the beginning by moving the timeline with your cursor, sorry. Sam (Anyone know why this is happening)?
Sam Angelo I was just looking back at this video and I’m glad you’ve dropped the dubbed in music on your latter videos. It is more distracting than helpful. IMHO; The sounds of the lathe are better to fill the gaps between your narrative. Otherwise I liked the video and neat ideas. Thanks.
You mean dividers? Sometimes I do. It depends often if I can reach the area more safely with one tool or another. I use many tools to accomplish something. It may be just because the tool is sitting there. Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER so, now that you're hollowing them out a bit, are you just drilling a hole with a forstner bit, or are you doing it some other way? Cool bird Houses!
I have 2 cameras. I use both Canon DSLR cameras. One is a t3I and the other is a t6I. I think the DSLR is a great way to go. Easy to adjust and set up. I have 5 videos on making a video. Just search my channel. Sam
Danny In Wyoming it is ALL over the place. Few people appreciate it. It is cut down all the time by farmers/ranchers who just find it annoying. It does grow fairly big. The burls are wonderful. But I can get an endless supply of it. It is nice wood when turned but cracks very badly. I really don't turn bowls from it for this reason. Sam

Yes, woodturning encompasses a vast world of options. Coloring, texturing, burning, painting. and much more.
Thanks Sam
A really great ornament Sam, and may, many useful techniques explained and demonstrated with your usual professionalism.
Take care
Mike
Today finished making 7 of these, Sam, from your most helpful video. Thanks! Wife is quite pleased and they'll make popular gifts, I hope!
Great, thanks for watching. Sam

Very nice Sam! And rustic.
I used guitar strings on my wire burners that gives me 6 different sized burn lines.
Take care, Dave
Cool idea with the guitar strings. Sam
Nice job Sam! Taught me a few new tricks!

Nicely done birdhouses. Will you be entering this year's Christmas Ornament Challenge?
Alan
Great job Sam
Now I know what to do with some of the small limbs of cherry I have.
Hi Sam
Nice work as always.
Do you have a video of one of your club open houses? Would love to see one!
Thanks for showing your work.

Nope, no video on that. Sam
Very nice presentation as usual.
George
Thanks George.
Sam
I love that drive center, what kind is it?
..good question. This is a 3/8 inch spur drive I got from Craft Supply USA. Sam
This video is starting a minute or so from the beginning. I am working on a fix. You can start the video at the beginning by moving the timeline with your cursor, sorry. Sam (Anyone know why this is happening)?
I think I got it fixed. hopefully.

I also use guitar strings, but if you want even wider lines use the stings from a bass guitar. Very bold lines
Very cool ideas, the guitar strings.
Sam
Beauty! Like!
Learning so much from you videos, thanks so much! What kind of scrapper did you say that was?
I looked through this video. I did not see a scraper. Would you tell me where I used a scraper? I will answer your question. Sorry.
@ 20:47
WYOMINGWOODTURNER at the 20:45 mark you used a scraper, but I couldn't understand the name you gave it. Almost sounded like Alan Laser.
Hi Sam I was just wondering why you don't use a compass for marking tenons?

Nice :)
Can you tell me the brand of the colored pens that you were using?
This video might help.

какая марка токарного станка?
Really cute birdhouse! What camera do use to record your videos?
I have 2 cameras. I use both Canon DSLR cameras. One is a t3I and the other is a t6I. I think the DSLR is a great way to go. Easy to adjust and set up. I have 5 videos on making a video. Just search my channel. Sam
where do you get Russian olive?
