Very, Very impressed by the way the background music matches the activity in the video! It's almost like a pianist was watching and playing live to synchronise with what you were doing!
Another fantastic job, Jake. And, as always, instructive, too! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos - I always learn from them. The parting off synchronized with the music was a special treat at the end!!
Very good looking handle there, just one little thing, when using the wire for the burn marks, I would use it on the bottom of the handle, pulling it up.. if it the wire breaks due to heat, you will go "flying" backward and away from the spinning lathe, and not toward it, just a thought....
you have some great tools you use to make your great tools and you please make a video showing all they chisels you use becuase i know some a sorby's but i do not know all
Thanks. I personally like shorter, light weight handles, especially for small tools that don't go too far away from the tool rest. The tool insertion process is different each time, however mostly I mount the tool to the vise, place some epoxy adhesive inside the mounting hole of the handle and press the handle in gently.
Hi Jack, thanks for the appreciation my friend! I apply wax and then drop a little bit of walnut oil on a piece of paper or a cloth (paper's safer) and apply to the wood. This way the wax melts faster. As for the tool, yes, it's a Lacer skew. It's one of my favourite tools. One advantage of it is that it's a heavy steel and it won't vibrate even a bit. Sometimes a thin skew can mess up a beautiful work by just vibration--you get a nasty twists on it (at least I don't like those)
Your videos are very inspirational to me. I am just getting started in wood turning, but I can see how many hours you have put into learning this craft. Excellent music choices as well. Cheers.
I showed my husband how you measured for the various diameters and he was delighted. Thank you for the fine instruction! Both of us have brand new turning tools but they have no handles so we'll be turning our own. I think your video is the best and clearest, and the funny thing is there is no audio and it doesn't matter! It's clear and perfect. :)
Just wanted to add a note about Oakwood, splinters and tear outs. In this kind of spindle turning, the trick is very high speed (say 3000-4000rpms) in which case wood will cut much faster and tear outs may not be that much.
Excellent video yet again. I notice you change the shape of the alan lacer skew slightly. Did you do this mainly on the grinder? You have nice gear, what type of lathe do you have?
Oak should turn well. I love turning Cherrywood...I love it's smell :) Oak? Nah, it's got some smell sometimes I don't like. And then since Oak is an open grain wood, the splinters and tear outs during the rough turning may piss you off.
Jake,great video. 1.just wax and then it melts on with the paper towel? 2. Is that a Lacer Skew? Great fast smooth cuts. I have seen some turners who take a skew and shape it like a Lacer, is that what you did?
Jake, sorry to bother again. What kind of wood? It looks like oak. If not what? Have you turned oak for a handle before? What is the size of the blank? Thanks again. Every time I look at this video, I seem to find more questions. No talking necessary as the videos are so good!
@yuval lahav very much agreed about the safety! I've already been caught by the lathe years ago and believe me, it's not a pleasing experience. Bruises, scratches and blood and a totally wrecked tshirt. Thanks for the attention. Jake
Jake, continued good work. Thanks for the upload. I'm looking at settling for a used woodfast instead of holding out for the vicmarc. Would you recommend the woodfast?
Very nice! I have been turning some handles lately and today after watching your video have picked up your nice procedure and technique. I hope I can get my next one as nice looking as yours!. Is that beeswax you are polishing up with? Thanks again. Cheers/George
I am intrigued by the Lacer Skew. The way you are cutting makes it seem so much easier than a regular skew. I am thinking of squirelling a few bucks and getting one. I am not brand new to turning and am making progress on the reg. skew. Is there a steep learning curve to using a Lacer successfully? Where would be a good place to purchase one if I decide to?
@Jack Kane ask anytime Jack! The wood I used here is walnut. I use a lot of 1.5" thick and 2" thick lumber at my cabinet making shop, so this one either 1.5" or 2" blank. The length must be about 10-12" . The thumb rule is to have 3x longer handle compared to the steel tool, but that can be done as desired. These tools don't reach out a lot from the tool rest, so it's ok to have shorter handle.

Now this is why I love TH-cam. Thanks for the video!

Hello Jake, hope you are well and thanks for another great video and looking forward to the next one, regards Matt.
Thank you for the video Sir, it's very useful for a beginner like me, and I also appreciate the soundtrack! Ciao from Italy...
you have some great tools you use to make your great tools and you please make a video showing all they chisels you use becuase i know some a sorby's but i do not know all
I must get a big flat skew like that =) Love watching you take material down so fast.
I really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot. Thanks for posting.
nice work, i love watching that skew go threw wood like butter.
You are the skew master! I bow before you sir! I really like my monster skew!
Thanks. I personally like shorter, light weight handles, especially for small tools that don't go too far away from the tool rest.

Wow Love the music and love the handle I need to make a longer one ty.

I have a few projects that needed a centering live center, now I know what’s out there. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learn from your videos.
Thank you for the appreciation!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much, I loved this video! :)
Janet Brien I'm glad your loved it

grate choice of music

George Whitfield Thanks for the compliments dear George. I'm sure you can make it much nicer! Cheers, Jake
Brilliant!!!
Tom, I use beeswax and walnut oil.

I am not brand new to turning and am making progress on the reg. skew. Is there a steep learning curve to using a Lacer successfully? Where would be a good place to purchase one if I decide to?
That's just a regular skew with the front profile ground into a curve instead of left straight.
Thanks my friend. Sorry for late reply!
I heard this music when my sister performed it during her university graduate recital. Which movie are you referring to?
How does oak turn? I don't see it very often (if at all) on demo videos.
wonderful !
That's how you make a turning video... with little or no jibber-jabber, just doing it.
WOW That one mean looking skew Jake......................

Thanks everyone for compliments and good comments. I appreciate your support!
P.S. Sorry for late reply!
What is the finish you used?
Thanks for the great video:) What is the tool you are using to round off ? Is it a big skew chisel .
New to turning Ged.
Gerry Fletch thanks Gerry. It's a skew chisel by Alan Lacer
amazing
Tks
Of all the music why did you choose music from a 1930s silent movie?
чем они мажут?
что за брусок?
Кто?
bees wax
No sound?
