I've always been fascinating by those hypnotizing woodturning videos. We wanted to create our own lathe with a drill and a waterjet. It turned out better than I expected. I thought the baseball bat turned out perfect, its better than I could have done on a real lathe.
What should we do next? Let us know in the comments.

Don’t steal our videos, if you’d like to use our video for something please contact us via email.
The more important question, how do I turn my lathe into a waterjet???
6:10 is that horizontal vertical video??? That's even worse than vertical video, makes me sick and gives horizontal vertical video syndrome!!!!!!
Put your water main into the lathe... then you'll figure it out from there
@Paradoxical Nightmare my guy actually gave a turorial
6:33 The contract literally just lists like every different type of meat. 👍
Someone found the easter egg. One bagillion dollars of meat
@@WaterjetChannel I want to sign that contract
Beat me to it. Had to pause and look at what the contract was for.
Definitely could've been for a left nut with this channel 😂
it's a bacon ipsum 😂
@@WaterjetChannel My spidey senses tell me this was a Mitchell comment.
That ad😂😂😂
What ad
6:06 is what he means
Dawn power wash dish spray?
@@Felix_Argyros then he should put a time stamp so people can understand easier
It was a good ad for sure
All I needed today was a brief construction montage
Very same
Agreed
Rest In Peace edd
"... The video nobody was asking for..."
You are correct. I didn't search for this, but I'm enjoying it.
The real miracle is that HF drill ran for 2+ hours!
With it being so close to the water it most likely cooled it down enough. But yea I'm surprised a drill was enough power to move that hard wood
HF tools are surprisingly good
@@Nicc93 - the required torque/power are more about the bearings and the waterjet than the mass of the wood itself
They won the HF lottery.
btw, I just bought a welder from them. Wish me luck...
@@GeneralChangFromDanang I would... but you almost certainly don't need it; that welder will probably be fine.
„This is the video no one is asking for“ WROOONG sooo many people want this I am sure 😂
If so, then sooo many people are idiots.
@@timhofstetter5654 happy curious creative idiots
But did someone asked for it?
I want it, just didnt know I wanted it. Sounds gay lol
"Ha ha, a rookie, eh? A Swatter, my friend, is a Diamond City tradition. See it used to be that this whole place was a stadium. And two teams would meet and play a game called baseball. One team would beat the other team to death with things called Baseball Bats, and the best bats were called Swatters. True fact."
A man of culture I see
Baseball history never told better than Moe!
Love me some fallout
I love how the waterjet was used to make parts to mod itself. Its like 3d printing 3d printer mods.
Or lifting pallets of forks with a forklift.
1:09 those are the best welds I've ever seen on TH-cam
@slapdatpuck88 i have not. just looking through that channel, i don't see anything that interest me.
i mean, i'm pretty sure that this is a metal fabrication shop. there are probably more people there that are competent welders than not. although the welds look a little cold to me. they should have been welded flat, so no reason to not run it hot.
@@iamzid and for what it was being used for, it is plenty strong
Those are bad welds, but it's not like they're selling them.
@@fartsoundeffect5013 Bad welds*
@1:08 Welp, guess there is no mistaking this for "Welding Channel"
Now that's some full pen if you ask me
Those were some $8 an hour welds lol.
Not gonna lie, you make a pretty damn persuasive sales-pitch for "The Copper Finger".
Cuz poop
I saw that product in a store a few days ago
All it needs is a bottle opener and you'll have the PERFECT TOOL
@@WaterjetChannel brilliant I bought it to supportt the guys with lots of kids to feed I have been ok my whole life with out it but you there are sometimes I wished I had something like this and would use my shirt as a barrier
I've just went to see how it cost and surprisingly 3,795$ or 36 payment of 105.42$ seriously? Is that a joke or what?
That add is perfection 😂
Also I’d love to see that just turn the bat a hypersonic speeds 😃
That was very cool! Using a waterjet to make a bat, who woulda thunk? 😂
*thought
This grammar hurts me
Who'd a thunk it? Is the only acceptable way to speak in a shop setting. Lol
Bruv
I love how freaking messy the shop is, makes me feel better about mine! 👌🏼
good thing you guys know how to cut circles
Shoot... if i would have cut a circle it would have made a sphere... missed opportunity for sure
@@WaterjetChannel Wooden bowling ball, or bocci ball, or whatever Lawn Bowling is, anyways..
Wood bowling balls when?
Very cool idea, like that you guys never seem to run out of creative ideas for videos and most importantly are just having fun doing them. Great work!! 👍
I feel like the end product will eventually split , due to re-introducing water to the wood from the the water jet. Wood obsorbes water unlike plastic, and metal. and you sealed it while wet.
I was wondering the same thing....maybe use metal instead of wood??????
@@ericwilliams7374 we have to know if the machine cuts a piece of metal that thick.
@@ericwilliams7374 Aluminum bats are hollow, so any bat they could make from metal would be ludicrously heavy.
That ad is genius
It came to me one night when i couldn't sleep
It really is tho.
@@WaterjetChannel the link isn't loading
@@WaterjetChannel It perfectly encapsulates my germophobia about public bathrooms and monetizes it. Just brilliant
I like this youtube channel but this idea isn't original in any way, I've been seeing ads for the milspin covid key since like the beginning of quarantine and it's the same thing
Water and electricity
Always great together 😂
What amazing things water can do! Cool video, great work!
That was a very creative use of a waterjet. Next time, leave the deep end cuts out until the very last minute. It will improve the finish and rigidity. Oh, and I think you forgot to factor in, 2 guys standing around for 2 hours into your bat cost. Thats waaaay more than a $300 bat. But it was worth it.
When the other guy in the shop says "what's that, can I have that" you know you nailed it
You just KNOW there's someone out there who's water jetted themselves a wooden dild before
pretty sure that's the default CNC sketch that loads when you boot the machine up the first time
I actually do not know that
Not sure what i'm most chocked about. You having that idea, or it actually being true.
Either way, weird mindset xD
rule 34, so no.
@@pmcKANE what's a dild? 🤔
A water jet is like the most versatile tool ever
That advertisement was highly entertaining! 😂😎👍
New challenge: full size petrified wood baseball bat 🙃
You asked yourself "could I do it" instead of "should I do it" and that's what defines a true maker.
This channel is still under a million subs?! I don’t know why, but I assumed there were at least 3 million 🤦♂️
I assumed the same thing
@@WaterjetChannel There will be after this video!
That is thinking out of the box. GREAT JOB!
Glad to see you have Benchmade quality!
I normally find myself wanting to hit the like button during multiple points in your videos. This time I hit like at the concept conveyed in the title/thumbnail.
Whoa! The end result of that first bat was surprising and unexpected!!!
I didn't ask for this but the result is super amusing. Kudos
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
imagine finishing school and applying to the job there in that place and seeing your boss do this funny stupid shit on the expensive machinery and filming it for youtube.. coolest boss ever
We don’t get a lot of respect in the shop
That copper finger is a legit brilliant idea. Ordering one now...
That is one tasty contract.
Try making one out of aluminium (aluminum).
That would take 19 hours
@@WaterjetChannel I'm glad I didn't suggest titanium! 😅
@@WaterjetChannel 19 hours or $2850 dollars that's an expensive bat! Plus wear and tear on the machine lets add another $200 to that. So $3000+ bat :)
I can't believe I've never thought of turning my sand blaster gun upside down! Thank you for that little golden nugget!
Makes a huge difference on that cheap harbor freight blast cabinet.
That face shield over the electric drill in the second round made me feel a lot better 😅
this takes out the relaxation satisfaction of using metal pieces to carve wood on a lathe so there for this Sucks Bad...
Awesome video guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘, next you need to make a cricket bat
@1:03 that bearing ''press' fit makes me puke
its not ideal
What would happen if they had the wood spinning the other direction so the water pushed on it the same direction? Maybe adding a simple gear to not have the faster speed affect the motor.
That's pretty cool, I run waterjets for a living and have cut a ton of stuff but never thought of doing this
This is all I wanted this week
lathes are so big and expensive thank you for this helpful DIY
Finally ! getting lathe.
Cool video i was in the oil fields and saw them cut a 7 inch thick steel pipe on a bevel with a water cutter using ruby dust in the water mix no intrusive slage for the next welding process
The concept is very nice. There are a few things that would indeed speed up the process. Programming the machine to make more than one pass while its spinning.
LMAO!! I'm sold on the copper finger haha that was funny XD the Water jet Lathe aka made the impossible lickens baseball bat! Nice!! Amazing work guys!!
Let’s say hoorah for the drill working in that Atmosphere ,with out electrocution..well done
Very nice Poo PSA!
A problem you guys might be having is your are cutting away from the "spindle" which can sometimes introduce wobble. Also you are cutting just the final pass. Maybe reverse the direction of the cut and program in roughing cuts.
That’s some sharp water.
I run the waterjet at my work. Lots of fun. Table is a modest 15'x30'.
Nice bat! How about solid aluminum? Could you spin a cylinder of aluminum and cut it with the water jet?
$300 solution to a $30 problem. Love it!!!
Yeah, me again....I honestly think a belt drive system ( with the electric motor safely located away from the water) would be your best bet....
Also, wouldn't the water eventually warp the wood???
Maybe a good idea for metal??
A water jet metal lathe???
I recently saw a commercial of some company advertising a product that’s basically the copper finger
the grit inside the drill kills me no matter how cheap it is
Not a waste of time at all!! I enjoyed it! Thank you! It was pretty relaxing for me
Ok that copper finger ad was the best. Absolutely loved it. Minus the rotation of it. 😑
This, but with some kind of device which would allow the bat to spin but with some predefined friction, so the bat cuts by the force of the water jet but also slowly rotates with a small percentage of the same force. Therefore you don't need the drill.
I've been wanting to do this for ages guys!! thanks for doing this. I may have to have Dan make me one in the lab... Don't be too hard on Craig or David with that bat guys!
I like the part of the video where the thing did stuff.
Ahhh the good times
But did you see it where the thing was they way that it was?
@@WaterjetChannel indeed that part was the best!
Amazing advertisement, immediately bought a copper finger. Hilarious. Nice work.
Copper finger is a great idea. Hospitals in Chile, I think, are coating their sinks and rails, etc with Cu for anti microbial properties
The copper finger is what made me give the like
Finally. I asked for this vid back in 2018
hahaha i love the copper finger commercial
Seriously, this has potential!
thanks Dad
Thats freaking awesome!!!
Bat, lathe, waterjet cool or whatever, I want that copper finger!
That copper finger ad forced me to go buy one ngl
I have to say, this is the first time I've shared a video for the ad in the middle of it. That was hilarious.
That's a nice looking bat. Great job guys.
IT'S ABOUT TIME! IVE BEEN WORRIED FOR THE LAST THREE HOURS!!!
How are you guys NOT over 1M subs?!!
You guys did a good thing.
I have never seen one being used before. Thank you for sharing this.
They say there are no stupid ideas, but this video just proved there are. 😂
the copper finger is wonderful
Omg the copper finger plug! I saw these the other day and thought it was funny. I am getting one bc of this. Holy cow maybe free lol awesome!
Omg $30 ru kidding me lol
You was on to something when you cut the corners, the thing is like with actual lathes you can not take to much off at one time. Multiple passes are required, I would suggest trying to do 1/3" cuts each pass, so you would need a series of patterns for your waterjet to run.
Upvoting for the wilhelm scream, very nice touch
Holly cow, the most convincing promotion ever
I didnt know I needed to see this but I would like to see more
I would probably get the copper finger thing if it had a bottle opener too, then it would be super handy.
Brilliant!
You’d use a 4th axis spindle to cut pipe. Iv only seen it in complex natural gas valves and heat exchangers.
Wow a guy actually working in the shop at the water jet channel.... who woulda thought 💭
Ok fine, I finally bought a copper finger, but just because that ad and voicing was fucking brilliant.
You're a real hero
6:05 genius 🤣 was soo surprised. Felt like I was watching GTA TV in real life!
I picked up a Bo Jackson Louisville Slugger on Clearance for like $10. It was the last wood bat they had and that was about 20 years ago. Everyone uses aluminum bats now. (Except the professionals).
If I got that ad I would not skip it
You should make your own waterjet video game!!!!
I dint ask for this, but only because I had never realized this was something i needed to see.
If you calculate the force of the water hitting the wood and then multiply it by the distance of the axis of rotation of the lathe, that will give you a torque spec. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t you just need an electric motor with a higher torque spec than what you calculate to make this work more efficiently?
