The vinegar/steel wool worked out nice, knew it would. interesting project, my wife loves elephants I guess ill have to turn her one. Very nice video, see you in the coffee hour. Harold
Those are cute indeed. And every step clearly explained. Did you end up having to sand the grey one back? Many thanks for an educational and amusing video.
Timely for an August birthday! My youngest granddaughter loves elephants. Mike: did I miss you tightening the set screw on the chuck? Where did you get the odd parting tool...thin end and thicker shank? Thanks for the video. I agree that the coarser grain stands out on the small turning.
I like that you used sketches for us. I appreciated that. Now, considering political correctness, are you going to turn a donkey on your next video? LOL.
Well done Mike. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Excellent Mike
Cute project.
Cool project! This one and the owl would make great gifts for kids!
Great idea!
My mother-in-law’s mother gifted me a bunch of wood and she loves elephants. I must make her one or two of these using some of that wood!
Excellent!
Many thanks for the shout-out Mike. Lovely elephants, the grey one is brilliant!
Thanks again for the inspiration!
Love it!
Thanks!!

I decided to leave as is and spray a coat of shellac for a shiney finish.

I do not use a set screw on a chuck. You have to be cautious with larger projects though.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Had a chuck decide to take flying lessons.
Instead of hitting the off switch you have to turn the speed down. Otherwise the electrical brake can slow down and the chuck can unwind.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning No electric brake but I have to reach the headstock to slow it. Anyway...lesson learned.
That thin parting tool is a Carter and Sons.
