  • In this video I show two examples of a hugely popular Christmas season item, SNOWMEN! I demonstrate methods for beginners who may not have advanced skill levels and who may only have the equipment they got with their lathe. This is a high selling item made with no frills equipment in real time. There are so many variations to this product that I am listing links below to some friends channels so that you can see more variety. Please give them a look and if you aren't subscribers to these channels maybe consider throwing them a subscribe! I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to all who watch!

    Hello, another great Video. I want to especially say Thank You,. For using a new Bowl gouge with a different grind. It shows us that even with years of experience things can become harder when you change the grind on a gouge. I'm not as discouraged now from trying different options.

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Paul! When you have turned with the different angle for 25 years you get accustomed to holding the tool a certain way. It took a while to adjust for sure. Thanks for watching!

      Thanks Pamela! My dad watched me for hours and never asked questions or how to do any thing. I bought him a lathe and these were the first things he made I think. He started at 60 but doesn’t have the knees for it at 82. He just looks forward to Monday’s videos! Thank you for watching!

    I’ve tried doing your vase. My husband and even my kids said it turned out pretty good so I am trying to make a second one so I have a pair. I’m gonna try this also. I’m still not very good with the SKU or the chisel but I have been practicing, so I think I can do this. Let you know later. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate it.

    Once you start using a bowl gouge,all the spindle chisels gather dust.Great idea.I will dash right off and try it.

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ohh that is very complicated Herb! Production type pieces I look at material cost and an hourly rate. Art pieces I guess are similar except the quality of the wood can add a premium. That is pretty vague I know but there isn’t a cookie cutter answer really. Thank you for watching!
