Love it when you start the show going through neighbourhood, finding people chopping down trees, your approach to locating the wood with an explanation. Back at the shop excellent detail when woodturning. Overall, we can hang out man. Awesome job.
Wish I started at your age . I was 68 and after just 11 years feel like I am running out of time. Keep Turning, It is therapy and shuts out the problems of life for a while.
You, my friend, are the Bob Ross of wood turning!!!! Absolutely love your videos. After my husband retires from the military and we are no longer moving every few years, I hope to be able to buy a lathe and get into wood turning. Keep up the excellent videos!!
Tim, thanks for inviting me and others into your shop. I've watched three of your videos since I found you only just today. You have comfortable rapport with your Lathe and your fans. Let's hope you don't make me 'too' comfortable though. Happy New Year. Wakodahatchee Chris
A company called Proxxon makes a lot of Power Carving tools just in case anybody was curious. *also wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos, it's nice to share what you love doing with people who love watching. :)
Arbortech makes a very nice power carver with several different interchangeable cutter. They have a nice display of them at the Rockler woodworking store
Hi Tim , a company called Arbortech make a power carver. In the UK they can be purchased from a company called Yandles in Somerset. Again a terrific project and I am sure the neighbours will get used to you.
Love your work Tim. If you want a decent power chisel, check out the Arbortech range of power carving tools. They have a very extensive range. Made over here in Western Australia, but available through a number of outlets in your country as well. I have quite a few of their tools, and love using them.
great seeing you at SWAT. I got one of the Ryobi's on amazon (where else??). that's the good news. the not so good news is the instructions are in Japanese. fortunately, I had one earlier so I remember how to use it. works well!
I'm so jealous, LOL! Wasn't allowed to do woodwork at school but I'm actually pretty good at it, I must find an Evening Class but I think you can do a lot even using hand tools and dremel drills etc. What about sticking something light reflective over "the dangerous bits" so you can see them more easily and avoid accidents?.
I was wondering if you could leave the top solid (maybe turn it so that it looked like the vase had a lid), then bore up through the bottom and hollow out the walls of the vase itself more so its walls were thin, and run some wire and a red or orange LED lightbulb up there to make a lamp of sorts. Given the burn job and the clear coat, I think it would look really neat if the vase sort of glowed from within, as if it still held the fire that charred it, if you see what I mean. Not sure if it's feasible or if the wood could take that kind of stress, but it's a thought to play with.
Fun project! I love the field trip in the beginning. Great contrast from the gorgeous once-in-a-lifetime piece last time (huge teak slab 1 meter x 1 meter x 25cm) to a great learning project for no cost at all. Also... I have some ideas for Out Of Round. o_o - Soap - Chocolate - Wax? I know you did the crayon blank clock one time... maybe turning a big candle? until next time, keep turning! 8-)
Great looking piece! With it being green wood, did it end up cracking? It would just add character to a piece like that. I'll have to give it a try some time!
You don't want the new neighbors to see you burning wood outdoors in the yard because that might make you seem like a crazy person... I get that but... you're SOL if your woodworking room has thin walls because unless you've told them you make videos for your TH-cam Page, all they know is that your burning stuff "indoors" and talking to a bunch of invisible people that are not there and going into laughing fits every few minutes. LOL BTW: my lady walked in at the beginning of this where you were talking about finding downed wood being rotten and she just chimed in with the words "you should see a doctor about that" and I had to pause while WE had a laughing fit of our own. Even when you don't know it and didn't say it you still make people smile. Thumbs up and see you in the next one.
Hi Tim,I watched your video several weeks ago and after finding a suitable piece of wood I gave it a try and was quite pleased with the results ,not as good as yours , but not bad !!! The wood I used was Jacaranda,blue flowering ,Stay safe 🦖
Not the same as Tim uses in this video, not new ones anyway. Ryobi no longer makes them, so you might be able to buy a used one. I own two of them, one that I bought new and one my father owned and never used. I use mine quite often, I carve out large burl popcorn bowls and other things with it.
Since the gentleman you got the wood from is an arborist are you going to give him a vase in order to possibly get some good turning wood from him in the future? My gardener also does tree trimming and removals and for some wooden Easter Eggs for his kids and a few custom wood pens with his company name on them I get first look at his work trailer before he heads to the recycling center.
You read my mind! I am planning to leave one on his porch as soon as the finish cures. I will also leave a card in case he runs across some cool stuff :^)
Just wondering, I get a lot of mesquite. My family doesn't want the mesquite trees so I harvest for stuff. Do I leave the bark on or take it off. As rough as it is, could it ruin tool edges?
I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge of tools. May I ask the models of your chisels? I see they are Thompson’s I’m new to the hobby and I like how yours look. The seem comfortable in the hand. Also what size lathe do you have. Right now I just have a small table top Delta. It was given to me and I’ve come to really enjoy turning small projects. Thinking of investing in a larger system and just pay this one forward to my friends boy. Thank you
Idea you will need ear protection. Buy a engraver then get the right carving edge and solder them together I bet that will work. or solder a chuck to it then it could be multifunctional.
Messing around with wood shouldn't be this much fun! I'm an embarrassment to my son, especially when I hop onto TH-cam and tell him and his pals I'm watching WT (Wood Turner's) Porn. Great stuff :)))
Tom Rothrock Highland Woodworking sold me a Livingart Electric Carver set #126201 (in 2008) for $29.99 plus shipping. It looks much like your tool. There are other types if you want to spend more. Check out Wood Carver Supply or other sites for current tools available and pricing.
Oh it will crack but that is the look I was going for. If you want perfect you will have to wait a while for it to dry before turning. Now if you turn a hollow vase to completion it will rarely crack.
The Proxxon carvers are heavier, aren't they? These little Ryobi carvers weigh very little, your arms don't tire so quickly using the Ryobi. And they do last, I've owned mine for a long time. Around fifteen years or so, and it gets a fair amount of work.
Very nice piece that I will attempt very soon. Thanks for the idea and for sharing.
Love it when you start the show going through neighbourhood, finding people chopping down trees, your approach to locating the wood with an explanation. Back at the shop excellent detail when woodturning. Overall, we can hang out man. Awesome job.
I love your work , I am a 11year old wood Turner and I started when I was 9 keep on making
Wish I started at your age . I was 68 and after just 11 years feel like I am running out of time. Keep Turning, It is therapy and shuts out the problems of life for a while.
Same here, in 62 and just started 2 years ago when Covid raised its ugly head and I started watching TH-cam videos.
I love your work and your since of humor keep it up
You, my friend, are the Bob Ross of wood turning!!!! Absolutely love your videos. After my husband retires from the military and we are no longer moving every few years, I hope to be able to buy a lathe and get into wood turning. Keep up the excellent videos!!
You are fun to watch, and just down right funny. hope the people who live near you know you for the fun guy you come across as. keep on woodworking
I have never come across a woodturning video that I enjoyed. Sir! I absolutely loved this one.
Tim, thanks for inviting me and others into your shop. I've watched three of your videos since I found you only just today. You have comfortable rapport with your Lathe and your fans. Let's hope you don't make me 'too' comfortable though.
Happy New Year.

Nice run, Tim, as usual !
Loved, especially, because it's a, no sanding, project.
Cheers.
It's a lovely vase, giving the tree branch a new life.
Great project, love it.
Thank's Jeremy for the wood for this beautiful piece.
Nice job Tim, Have a great weekend..
Sehr schön sieht das aus 👍👏
Love your sense of hummor
Wow that's awesome tim looked super simple just got my laguna 1836 yesterday can wait to try this with some of my hurricane Irma spalted oak.
Fantastic and you are a cool great instructor
Very cool idea. I love it!
Nice!
Ingenious. Great work.
Very cool! Been watching for years. You have a really neat way of teaching. Enjoy you very much. Thanks for sharing.
Love your work there Tim. Awesome stuff.

A tip for working with bits that stick out - wrap a piece of red tape around so it shows up better while spinning.
Very nice and creative. I am going to find a log right now. Thanks for the video and idea.
oh Tim, this is already looking so exciting :D Oh my this turned out Sooo much better than I ever dreamed of!! Great job!
Really love your work
you're the dad i never had and always wanted
Very cool !!! Thanks for sharing😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

Hello great work on the video mate greetings from Spain
I turned one of these today after watching your video yesterday. Wish I could upload a pic
Wow... I’m so glad I found your page! Instant sub🤙🏽
Like the camera views that show how you ride the bevel.
Fun video sir, thanks for sharing and keep up the fun videos
Have a blessed week.
Dale
Ryobi still makes power carvers at a reasonable price.
Awesome idea 😀
Hi Tim , a company called Arbortech make a power carver. In the UK they can be purchased from a company called Yandles in Somerset. Again a terrific project and I am sure the neighbours will get used to you.
Keep turining, keep burning ! Lol !

Cool vase. I'm going to try this sometime. Ryobi still makes a power carver. found it on amazon for under $100.
Fantastic! I wood like to have one of these!
Love it Tim. And I especially love no sanding!!
Cool
You should do that at a symposium!! That is awesome
great seeing you at SWAT. I got one of the Ryobi's on amazon (where else??). that's the good news. the not so good news is the instructions are in Japanese. fortunately, I had one earlier so I remember how to use it. works well!
Once again you've made me jealous of your work b and your tools lol. Keep up the amazing work :)
A very cool piece of art!
I too have many vices. None of them hold wood...
One happy guy there !
Nice job nothing like free wood. Found some on Keetonville Hill road that the county had cut. Free for the taking.
very creative
I'm so jealous, LOL! Wasn't allowed to do woodwork at school but I'm actually pretty good at it, I must find an Evening Class but I think you can do a lot even using hand tools and dremel drills etc. What about sticking something light reflective over "the dangerous bits" so you can see them more easily and avoid accidents?.
Turn and burn, baby! BTW, the power carver is still available on Amazon. They say 1 left, though....
I was wondering if you could leave the top solid (maybe turn it so that it looked like the vase had a lid), then bore up through the bottom and hollow out the walls of the vase itself more so its walls were thin, and run some wire and a red or orange LED lightbulb up there to make a lamp of sorts.

Not sure if it's feasible or if the wood could take that kind of stress, but it's a thought to play with.
That sounds like a great idea, you could infill with low power LED's making it look like the log lamp is on fire...
Very nice. I think I'll put some bright red tape on the little limb just in case I forget..........
I live in Denver! I like the term "Weed Pot"
Brilliantly 'rustic' Tim👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁
Very nice!!
A cool gesture would be to make an extra one for Jeremy :D Nifty project! Cheers, Chris.
Already did!
Serious question: do you enjoy life as much as you appear to?
Loved the video.
Trying to send a Tim Yoder video
Fun project! I love the field trip in the beginning. Great contrast from the gorgeous once-in-a-lifetime piece last time (huge teak slab 1 meter x 1 meter x 25cm) to a great learning project for no cost at all.
Also... I have some ideas for Out Of Round. o_o
- Soap
- Chocolate
- Wax? I know you did the crayon blank clock one time... maybe turning a big candle?
until next time, keep turning! 8-)
I Like Your Comparison on wood workers.
Great looking piece! With it being green wood, did it end up cracking? It would just add character to a piece like that. I'll have to give it a try some time!
Very cool job 🔥🚒

Artistically burning
Hi Tim,I watched your video several weeks ago and after finding a suitable piece of wood I gave it a try and was quite pleased with the results ,not as good as yours , but not bad !!! The wood I used was Jacaranda,blue flowering ,Stay safe 🦖
You can still buy it from amazon comes from japan..
Where did you get your end pieces...carving tips
The Ryobi power Carver is still on Amazon
Tim, love the project. The turned vase, then the carved look... Great stuff! Do you ever sign your pieces?
Several tool companies have these type carving tools. A search for 'power chisel' turns em up.
Very cool
Fun project
Yes you can still find the ryobi carver specialty tool places and amazon
Not the same as Tim uses in this video, not new ones anyway. Ryobi no longer makes them, so you might be able to buy a used one. I own two of them, one that I bought new and one my father owned and never used. I use mine quite often, I carve out large burl popcorn bowls and other things with it.
Cool idea. And I’m pretty sure you’re always “out of round” 😂
What brand is that Forstner bit you're using? It seems very sharp.
you can sill buy the Ryobi DC-501 carver at Amazon - of course it's much more expensive now

@woodturningwithtim1 Sound's like a friendship forged in... uummm, fire.
mer8771 nah friendship forged in wood dust
Hey Tim I was wondering if you could do a video on sandpaper, I go thru sandpaper like it's going out of stile and I think it would be a good episode
Looked like fun! Question, what was that power chisel tool?
Tim were you a dentist in a previous life ?,you looked too comfortable with those two power tools. loved the vase coming out of the log.
That’s awesome
Hi Tim,
This is beautiful and you are a very talented man!
Is this your design?
Thanks for this video and all the others you’ve done for us!
Tom
Just wondering, I get a lot of mesquite. My family doesn't want the mesquite trees so I harvest for stuff. Do I leave the bark on or take it off. As rough as it is, could it ruin tool edges?
Michael, all bark is hard on edges, it can dull tools quite quickly. Especially, if the logs are yarded over mud and rocks.
What is the brand name of your carving tool sir?
Hi Tim Fab Video great work keep it coming Y.N.W.A. Paul.
I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge of tools. May I ask the models of your chisels? I see they are Thompson’s I’m new to the hobby and I like how yours look. The seem comfortable in the hand. Also what size lathe do you have. Right now I just have a small table top Delta. It was given to me and I’ve come to really enjoy turning small projects. Thinking of investing in a larger system and just pay this one forward to my friends boy. Thank you
Idea you will need ear protection. Buy a engraver then get the right carving edge and solder them together I bet that will work. or solder a chuck to it then it could be multifunctional.
Messing around with wood shouldn't be this much fun! I'm an embarrassment to my son, especially when I hop onto TH-cam and tell him and his pals I'm watching WT (Wood Turner's) Porn. Great stuff :)))
Jeez as a lefty I have a lot of difficulty with bowl turning because my left hand is sort of on the wrong side...
Check out Arbortech power chisel!

How cool……..
shouldn`t that piece of wood lay in rest for about 2 years? Can I use a piece that was just cut down?
Oh it will crack but that is the look I was going for. If you want perfect you will have to wait a while for it to dry before turning. Now if you turn a hollow vase to completion it will rarely crack.
thanks so much for quick answer :)
cool
That isn't Elm. if I were to guess, I'd say it's Silver Maple. great project though!
I was thinking pear
Amazing, you are awesome :-)
You are fun
I think the burning spoils it.
Can you make a biscuit cutter?
Proxxon make these power carvers Tim.
The Proxxon carvers are heavier, aren't they? These little Ryobi carvers weigh very little, your arms don't tire so quickly using the Ryobi. And they do last, I've owned mine for a long time. Around fifteen years or so, and it gets a fair amount of work.
