Woodturning - Old Willow Log Becomes Elegant Gift
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2021
- I received a request from a subscriber to make a gift for his daughter and son-in-laws 9th wedding anniversary (which is willow or ceramic gifts). I said I'd have to go and check the wood pile, 15 minutes later and I had found this lump which I believe to be Willow.
Still find it fascinating what elegance and perfection can come out of a old slowly decaying log. And I just love the way this timber dances with the light in certain areas. I really hope they are used well and enjoyed! 😊
On another note I want to thank and welcome all new and existing subscribers! The channel has seen a large amount of growth recently and its all thanks to you, my followers. I'm also currently developing a store so that I can sell what I make and also the items I use to make them. This way you can either own something from this channel or make something similar yourself. I cant wait to continue this exciting journey with you all 😁

Kept wondering if you were going for a candle stick holder, bottle stopper or a pencil. End result is both good-looking and practical but it always saddens me a bit to see 90% of the original wood left on the shop floor.
Thanks Ole, I too hated the waste so I now use the wood shaving around the home in composting, mulching and organic fire lighters. 😃👍
I agree 100%. I was afraid you were making a toothpick.
My uncle had a woodworking yard, and I loved to visit him. The smell of the fresh wood was lovely. I still have the little shadow box that he made me over 50 years ago for my birthday.
Dang, that sounds like it must have been amazing. That comment honestly makes me want to be that kind of uncle for my nephew, if I can ever have the money to buy the equipment.
Thanks for sharing Patsy 😃👍I have gifted many of my pieces to friends and family and the reactions from them are always so pleasing. ❤
@@Jace_ScribeofPalara Do it Jace 👍😃
@@Jace_ScribeofPalara Look up yard sales and craigs list in your area. You can find decent equipment for cheap.
It’s like making a toothpick from a telephone pole. Never could guess what it was going to be. Nice job. 😀😀😀
Thanks Paul, the first 2 minutes, showed the log being milled for wood to be used in various projects. Nothing is wasted in my shop ... 😃🪵👍
What a nice gift! Good job, Harry.
Thank you Rebecca! 😊😁
Very easy and very nice!

Fantastic. A work of art that will last hundreds of years.
Thank you garret, I hope so or at least a gift to be treasured 😃👍

Very nice, that's what I love about wood you can make it into something beautiful every time🌻 👍
Yep. I used to heat my shop from my scraps. Then I bought a lathe (which reproduced, so I ended up with four, for a while), so, now, scraps are more myth than fact.
Very nice, classy!

Definitely gorgeous, thanks 🌷🌸🌺
Thank you ... 😃🪵👍
Reminded me of a cartoon where they started with a tree and ended up with a toothpick.
Thanks for watching! I decided to show the process of cutting the blanks. Judging from the comments lots of people don't seem to know where blanks come from. The other blanks have been saved for future projects 👍
Next comes the choosing of the vintage. I'll get the glasses....
Thanks for watching Stephen! Great idea 😉👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning I watch one of your videos before I go to sleep. It helps to bring the day to a peaceful close.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 thanks Stephen, I better get a move on with producing more!! Any preference or favourite? 🪵😃👍
And there I was thinking you were going to turn that big tree trunk!

How lovely. What an exceptional gift. I love the fragrant smell of freshly cut wood. I could watch you craft for hours. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks Katrina, I totally agree on the smell 😃👍

Stay safe and keep turning
Thank you very much Hans! Stay safe 😊👍
I know nothing about wood working but what you do is amazing! Taking a piece of wood that I would use in my fireplace and turn it into something so pretty
Thanks Donnie, we have wood burners and I hate to see logs going in, I am always rescuing them for turning 👍😃

Now that is ptetty neat.
Thank you so much! 😊
Nice! It's such a shame that it took such big pieces of wood to make those small pieces though, but admittedly, it wasn't much more than firewood when you started. BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you Perry! The client wanted Willow and this is the only piece I had. I've kept the other blanks for future projects 😁👍
O tym samym pomyślałem. Mógł z tego pnia zrobić wykałaczkę w prezencie. Jaka szkoda, tyle zniszczonego drewna. Chore hobby 👎
Everyone's a critic. Do you bro. Nice work!
@@johnathanwright8948 thanks Jonathan 😃👍
What a beautiful grain! Very nice!
Thank you very much Norm! 😄😊
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.
Thank you for your comment 😃👍I prefer to let the wood speak for itself and allow the tools to tell their own story as they make their changes.
Really elegant!
Thank you so much Umberto! 😁😊
Superb so satisfying to watch.

Love the finished product! I loved trying to figure out what you were making. Wooden champagne flutes? Candle sticks? REALLY tiny dumbells for a VERY light workout? Well done!

That sure doesn't look like the willow that I get ( but with something like 1500 different willows in the world that isn't surprising ) . I find it to be one of the most satisfying to turn , and there seems to be some chatoyance in every piece , I think it's got something to do with them flexing in the wind
Hi out in the sticks. I agree willow is one of my favourite woods to. Thanks for watching 👀😃👍
Nice man, got one today looking forward to learning
Thank you! Great, I hope my content gives you some help 😊👍

Those look very beautiful for knotty devices hahha
Thank you David! 😊😁
Many make me laugh when they say waste wood as there are so many ways to utilize wood. When I first started turning I would burn my scraps to cook and heat. There are so many downed trees in the woods it would take a life time to make a small dent in the forest. I made my share of pens from people throwing out wooden tables, stools etc. I have so much wood that I have cut down I had to give a great deal away. My brother in a clothes designer and I made him a bullt pen and several bowls which he displays in his men's and woman's shop. He also displays a couple in a art gallery. I was very surprised because I really not that good at turning.
I was wondering what you were using for your finish. I was very impressed with your turning. Keep turning, learning and enjoy.
Beautiful work
Thank you so much! 😊👍
Great Watch 💫⭐️💫⭐️💫
Thank you! 😄😊
@@HarrySmithWoodturning You’re more than welcome 😻♥️👍🏼
Nice work
Thanks very much Bernie! 😊👍
That was a huge hunk of wood used to make those small handles.
Thanks for watching! The client wanted Willow and this is the only piece I had. I've kept the other blanks for future projects 😁👍
Nice
Thanks Terry 😃👍
Em pouco tempo fez um monte de madeira. Parabéns tmj""
Obrigada Sergio! 👍😁
Ooooh. Those look good. Nice work Harry :-)
Thank you so much! 😁😄
Bien joué bravo 👍👍
Merci beaucoup Denis! 😊😁
Wow wow wow... Salam dari indonesia
Terima kasih! Senang Anda menikmati 😊👍
Very nice work! I'm wondering though, why so much wood to make such small items? Can you only make those two pieces with that amount of wood?
Hi CJEKT, no the log was cut and the pieces have been planned out for other projects. I hate wasting such a beautiful resource 😃👍

I misread the title of the video as "elephant" instead of "elegant". The result was surprising to me, but beautiful!!!
🤣😂 I can imagine the confusion, thanks Lucy ... 😃🪵👍
You really pulled a Bob Ross at 5:20
A 2kg log is turned into a very little 150gr gift.
Thanks for watching Luis! No need to worry, other blanks were cut from the log and will be saved for future projects 😊👍
Plz next time make a water bottle 😍 with beautiful lid
Thanks for watching Jhons! That's certainly a good idea for a future video 😁👍
I’ve always heard that it is dangerous to wear gloves while turning wood as the glove can get caught between the tool support and the project causing some irritating problems. I see you don’t worry about that. Nice project, thanks for sharing.
MOST dangerous!...
Yeah on a metal lathe you will lose fingers almost guaranteed.
Been a machinist for 20 years. Gloves around a lathe or mill is bad mojo. As well as rings.
@@mr.noneyabidness Good job he's not using a metal lathe then.
@@poppypalais3108 wow you're a sharp chisle aren't you. I'm fully aware that's a wood lathe buddy.
I said "on," learn to read if you want to be clever.
I own both wood and metal lathes, and I don't use gloves on either. Again that's right in the safety manuals of both tools, but you already proved to me you don't know how to read so there is that I guess.
Awesome! It's always nice and enjoyable to watch people who are very good at what they are doing. What kind of oil and wax do you use here?
Thank you Fish Dip 😃👍
I used Danish oil and wood wax.

В пятом классе на уроке труда изделия посложнее делали, жаль цифровых камер в 90-х не было.
Спасибо за просмотр Andrey! Это моя более простая вещь. Еще у меня есть много более сложных и интересных видео
