    Thank you for making a video even tho you have a lathe now. I really appreciate someone taking the time to show a way to do something they don't do anymore so others that aren't so fortunate can still learn.

    I just used your technique, it works great! Two drawer-pulls done, two more to go. Instead of using a band-saw to trim, I used my table saw sled. Worked like a charm.

    There are many things I like about woodworking, this is one of them, you don't always need the right tools to get a desired result. If you are passionate enough, you'll find a way with what you've got.

      If you get good results these tools are also the "right tools" ;). But yeah, I get your point, there is many ways to go about making certain things :)

    I tried the method with some guitar end pins and it worked out marvellously. It's actually much simpler to turn small pulls and end pins with a drill press than with a lathe.
    I even managed to turn a 5-inch-long peg winder for my lute, too. The longer workpiece wobbled a lot first, but things got better, and I ended up with a lovely shape for the tool.
    The end pins and the peg winder were made from hard maple, so they were pretty difficult to turn after the first experiments with spruce. I used some leftover pieces of spruce and a maple garden tool handle as round stock for the project.
    Spruce got its shape very fast, but the tenon part got damaged (squeezed) in the chuck. Still, it held out until the end of the operation without major problems. In case of the maple the tenon didn't get damaged by the chuck and held perfectly. To me, cutting the tenon was the biggest challenge, because I had some very rudimentary, cheap tenon cutters. They caused a lot of friction and overheating. If I go on making end pins like this, I must get some decent tenon cutters. It's also possible to drill a hole in the workpiece, glue a piece of round stock in it and hold the piece in the chuck by that tenon.
    Thank you for the idea, it has encouraged me tremendously to go on with the project. The funny thing is that I originally bought my drill press a few years ago for exactly this purpose. Unfortunately it turned out to be a supermarket quality scrap. Back then, I tried to turn a few very small pieces out of ebony and eventually decided to abandon the project because of the imprecision of the machine. These end pins, however, seem to be just the right-sized items to turn with this drill press. I've done some modifications to the drill press, too. The moving column that holds the chuck was very wobbly, so I installed two bolts to limit its play. Now it's OK with only a minimal play. Still, a better quality drill press would certainly be better for the purpose.
    I hope my experience can be of help to someone with a similar project in mind.

    True Craftsmanship, and thank you for the technique ideas. I'm always looking at the cost of things, really don't make enough money not to. I can't help but think that if you're not using an exotic wood, or have a hard to find design in mind just buying the knobs at the big box store or on ebay would in the long run be the less expensive and far quicker route. By the time you buy the special bit, the jig hardware, and make everything, plus the electricity etc... they could get to be pretty expensive for a short run, and pretty monotonous for a long run of them. That said, I really do appreciate holding true to the ideals of making them yourself. Thank you for the great video.

      +Ryan Taylor : Dear Ryan, it's hard for some people to imagine the spread of TH-cam, but it may amaze you to discover that it reaches all parts of the world; into nooks and crannies that you can't even find on a Google Map!! And in those little places you can't possibly imagine, there are clever people who use their hands and tools, (in some cases, corded drills, because they don't have cordless drills like yours) to make things that you just go out and buy, without even batting a eyelid. They even make their own cups of coffee.
      Yes, these industrious folk enjoy making stuff (they don't get bored, like you said), and if some kind-hearted folk shares a woodworking secret or two, then they're forever grateful for such generosity. You may not believe it, but Big Box Stores do not exist in some far flung parts of this Earth!! Amazing, isn't it?
      One day you may even get a chance to travel from your city to another part of the world, and Boy!!, will you be in for a BIG shock 😨. You'll find that people don't think like you do at all. No, they think like all the grateful people who've complimented this person's video, take the lessons and tips, and incorporate these ideas into their own working routine.
      If you try for 6 weeks to do that, you'll find it becomes automatic, and your life will be profoundly changed forever.

    • @attilakovacs5803
      @attilakovacs5803 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can do without the band saw. Use a fine-toothed handheld saw. VInstead of the drill press you can use a handheld electric drill in a drill stand. The quality of your work depends on the smooth moving of the chuck: if it has a play and it vibrates, the knob won't have a nice, circular diameter, it'll be oval.
