- Hello and welcome! This video will hopefully be the first in a series of simple woodturning projects. The aim is to build a playlist of quick and easy ideas, no more than 10-15 minutes to complete, that every turner can try no matter their skill level. Ever since I started woodturning I have sought out videos like this for inspiration, now I feel like would like to contribute, so here it is. No music, just the sounds of wood and high speed steel, my favourite!
10 Minute turning project. #01 - Acorn.
For this I used a piece of beech wood. The blank was already round so that helped to quicken the process.
I used a 3/8ths bowl gouge and a 1/4" Parting/Beading tool.
I would suggest using a longer piece of wood to avoid having to work so close to the chuck like I did here.
Once shaped I sanded 120 - 180 - 240 and cut off with a pull saw. Off camera I then quickly hit the stem on the belt sander to create the angle.
Any questions or suggestions for things you would like to see me make in this series then let me know in the comments.

Sweet! Nice acorn!
Thanks man 😁
Nice work, TF!
Thank you sir!
Looks good man
Cheers buddy ☺️
That thing barely needed any sanding. Beautiful acorn, Pog!
Thanks a lot Brent, I probably could start sanding a little higher than 120 but old habits die hard 😂
Nice little project. I also like the bass clef tattoo. I’ve the same tattoo.
Thank you sir! I have a treble on the other arm too so I remember which is which 😂 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing.. Hope your week is going well. I'm still practice my turning.. One minute I feel I'm doing ok, then....
Hi Allen, thanks for watching! Don't worry buddy, I still have those days when nothing seems to go right, all part of the process. You learn from the successes and the failures. Hope you're keeping safe and well 👍
Nice 👍.
Thank you mate 😊
Yep! That is definitely an acorn! We still think you make it look too easy and we are envious of your skills! How about turning a pen next?
You guys are awesome and far too nice to me! Thank you 😊 I did try turning a pen once but with mixed results, something for a future video maybe. I have an idea for the next quick project but no spoilers haha
Great vid looking forward to the next one
Thanks a lot Steven, me too👍
Good looking acorn, nice tool control. I was disappointed that you sawed it off instead of using your parting tool. Keep on turning. Good stuff. 👍
Thanks Mark! Watching it back now I couldn't tell you why I went saw over parting tool. I'm guessing it's the width of the sawblade vs the parter, that's my best guess anyway. Thanks for stopping by 👍
cool!
Thanks bud 👍
Cracking job Pog ! nice and easy project as you say mate and they can be made all sizes for box knobs to drawer handles and for ornaments.
Cheers, Bram
Absolutely, I'm hoping to do a few of these quick and simple projects along side my normal, semi-regular turning videos. I've got some ideas in the pipeline :)
Thanks for stopping by buddy!
Cute..I don't think I want to meet the squirrel that would eat that...reminds me of ICE AGE🤣...stay safe...press on 😎
Totally haha! I love that squirrel! Cheers bud, you too 😊
Great little vid mate. Always a delight to hear the sounds of shavings being cut off of wood...
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Thanks Bluey I appreciate you stopping by man! All the best 👍
Always a beautiful job Pog, great result and another very enjoyable vid. I like that beading/parting tool, I'll have a look for one; thanks for the info in the description. Cheers mate, stay healthy!
Thanks for popping by Mark, always a pleasure. This time next year i'd love to have a whole load of this type of quick project in a playlist, for now i'll keep plugging away 😊 Cheers buddy, take care.
Looks nice and original 👌I like Your tools control. Good job, Tim 👍
Cheers Rav, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching buddy, stay safe👍
Cool little project and a great idea for a series!
Cheers Dave! 👍
Oh I absolutely love this .. how was I not subbed already ?? 🙈🙈 so sorry ... this is such a cool project for a newbie like me to try ! Thanks so much
Haha it's all good, no apology needed, I find so many channels I have followed for ages on Insta not realising they have a YT! We all get there in the end! 😂 Thanks for watching and for you comment Claire and good luck with the turning! Next one will be a spinning top I think🤔#ThingsTurnersTurn
Hi Pog... I love this type of simple quick projects.... they are not just for beginners but for more experienced turners just to have a bit of fun... nicely done... great close up ... I thought that you had a giant chuck until I realised how close the camera was... Haha... take care...All the best.....Andy
Haha! Thanks Andy I have recently adjusted my camera mounts as they were a little further away than I wanted, maybe this is too close, i'll find a happy balance at some point I'm sure 😂
Thanks for stopping by buddy, stay safe!
Very cool. Is there going to be a version with music?
Thanks bud! I hadn't planned on it for the projects in the 10 min turning series but you never know 👍
@@tfturning well you know my feeling about your music
@@TheGrantAlexander Cheers brother, I appreciate that 😁
How much did your lathe cost?
My grandpa made his own using a modified mains powered hand drill and I tried to recreate it myself but it would never stay on true centre.
Been wanting to get into wood turning for many years now and you've inspired me to give it a shot (for real this time)
@jibadee
You should totally do it! I only started in January 2018 and it quickly become my favourite thing to do.
This particular lathe was around £400 from new but my first was much smaller and a lot cheaper from eBay. That was basically a hand drill motor attached to a small ally plate, was ok, fine for the 3 days I used it before getting a more traditional looking lathe for £140, again from eBay.
Man, if you're doing it then feel free to fire over any questions you have, I'd be happy to help where I can from what I've learnt so far 👍
Also thanks for watching!! I hope you found it useful.
Very nice work Tim, great use of a bidan for shaping.
Shay
Cheers Shay, thanks for popping in mate!
