Awsome Rod!...it was my sincere pleasure making that for you. Love your videos and they give me inspiration to make time to get turning on my new lathe. Thanks for all you do. (Handle and vase look great!)
"Meathooks" love it, my Dad used to say "Get your meathooks outa there" if ones of us kids would try to sneak a taste of something being prepared for a meal. Hearing you say that took me right back there. Made me smile and think of him. RIP Dad...thank you. I'll be making a handles for my carbides now.
That handle looks great. I must say that vase had some amazing grain. Both are really great in my opinion. I love watching your videos, thanks for your hard work creating these wonderful pieces. The raccoon was very cute!
The handle turned out great. A wonderful gift that is now complete. Love the creations from your subscribers, especially the vase. As I was admiring that vase, there you went and made one too, lol. Prayers for Helen. May God comfort and heal her. Love your visitor...Mr. Rocky Raccoon. Take care and God bless.
That is an awesome handle. My grandfather told me stories of his wood tools. All of which he had to make himself, while going through school, to be a "master craftsman". I still have most of those tools, today. Sadly, right now, they are stored in my father's garage. Always most gratifying to be using a tool that you have made, in all or part.. The raccoon was a great touch..
Thank you Bob. I can only imagine what a feeling it must be to use tools made by, and handed down by, family. I hope you have access to them. I never had that pleasure or honor... But hopefully I can pass mine on someday. If not to family, then to someone that appreciates them for what they are...

lol, I'm glad you felt spoiled by that! Things are going to slow down a bit for me really soon, necessary but only temporarily. I'll announce why in next weeks video.
Wow. Two for one. One video, two projects. Another winner. Very nice handle and I love the vase too. Great color and figure. For someone who doesn't do spindles you looked pretty good, except for the spot about 7:00 where you were cutting uphill. Although you appeared to get away with it nicely. Just goes to show that their are rules that don't always hold true. Thank you for sharing your viewers projects as well as yours..
Not only does Cap'n Eddie bring you philosophy, wisdom, and OB Shine Juice, he also sells carbide inserts at a fraction of the cost from retailers. Nice tool handle - I did the same with the bars I bought from Cap'n Eddie. I still prefer gouges to carbide inserts, but for those nasty pieces of wood where you get tearout no matter what gouge you use, the carbide tools usually tame it or at least keep you from blowing it up with a catch.
Hi Rod it is a nice handle you made fit for the king of turning. You are an amazing person I will put Helen on our prayer group for prayer. Semper Fi dear Rod.
Great handle Rod! Welcome to the carbide club. I started out using carbide and now I'm trying to get as much practice as I can with the gouges. I've got the exterior cuts down pretty well, but the interior is another story. More practice required. Thank you for sharing brother! - Ed
Sir you are absolutely awesome the tool handle is absolutely amazing and the vase is stunning beautiful I enjoy watching your videos my friend, take care my friend god bless from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦞🦞🐊🐊Cajun 🐊🐊🦞🦞🇺🇸🇺🇸. For the lady who is sick sending prayers to you.
Awesome piece of work. Some people don't realize the importance of having a good tool handle that fits your grip. Like making your own rock maple mallet instead of buying one. Kudos.
We thank you for sharing your talent with us!! Fantastic job!!! Did you have a good Easter?? My brother in law and his family hide 400 eggs at his house. It was a family reunion. Great fun and great food!!!😱😱😱😱
What a great guy making that cool tool. Great use you will make of it. Love your videos. More nature at the end that's such a good touch. That funny looking bear looks so cute.
Great video! I am making my own carbide tipped tools and your handle gave me a good idea of what to do! Not only are your videos fun to watch, they are educational too!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOSTANDING!!!!!!!
What perfect timing! I got a set of carbide tools for Christmas that came with only one handle, and I had just decided to make 2 handles so I don't have to change them out. Thanks for another great video, now I just need to find some 2 x 2 stock, all I have is box stores around, no real lumber companies.
Thank you brother...as I write this, I'm missing out on coffee and conversation. Sorry about that, but I've got to get ahead if I can, for reasons yet unannounced to the public.
Thank you, Rod, for another great video. Benjamin is really skilled to have made that tool and the handle is very appropriate. Carbide tipped tools are a real bonus to woodturners. My thoughts are with Helen, the cancer sufferer, at his time. I live in Ireland and I don't recognise the animal feeding on your peanuts. Is it one of them brown bears I've heard about? Delighted, but not surprised, that your subs continue to rise. Semper Fi.
No raccoons on the island? I didn't know that. This little fatty is pregnant, again, 4th year in a row we've had her visiting. She's become very friendly and trusting of me... As are a few other animals that will be making appearances. Thanks very much! I'm very happy with my channel growth! Amazing , really. Semper Fi my friend.
I knew you’d like carbide once you tried it. I’ve been using mine for a couple months now, and haven’t even needed to turn the cutter to the second edge. Beautiful handle. Beautiful vase, too. Keep using the carbide, and you might forget how to sharpen HSS tools.
Wonderful work as usual! Regarding the two pronunciations of "vase", the rule in Phonics is that if there is a vowel, and then a single consonant, and then an 'e' at the end of the word, the vowel sound is long. My mother used to tell me the 'e' at the end jumps back over the consonant and makes the preceding vowel say its name. Rip becomes ripe, man becomes mane, and so on. So you are correct when you say vase your way. The 'e' at the end makes the 'a' long. However, as is anything in life, there are exceptions! :-)
Rod, wicked cool! You are so appreciated and respected that people just can’t help but send stuff to you. 😊 The handle was definitely worthy of that very fine tool. The difference between a vase and a Vase is price. The Vase you made is adorable. If it was worth over $100.00 it would be called a Vase. So, all that said, I would call it a Vase because, I think it’s worth is over $100.00. 😉 Be blessed!
Ok, the spelling should have been Vaz. Not to be mistaken for the Vaz automobile. 😂 I do own a crystal Vas but insist on calling it a vase. I’m not a snob. 😂 Heck, if I put flowers in an old rubber tire, what do I call that? 😂 I would still pay $100.00 for your “vase” simply because you made it. Period! 😉
Thank you! Oh, don't misunderstand, it wasn't me being concerned or not understanding, that comment was directed at the grammar police that felt I needed a lesson on how to pronounce a word... I love England and the many accents of Great Britain 😊
Was really awesome of him to make and send you the tool. I have always pronounced vase the same way as you, was taught that way. The vase kinda looks like the bottom part of some hoofed animal's leg. Turned out great. And you know that raccoon is gonna tell his friends about the free peanuts, lol.
Nice handle, Rod. I'm glad you finally have a carbide tool and a handle that fits you. Pronunciation? You could pronounce it bowl and not worry about anyone else. Also it looks like the big tough marine is a softie.
Yeppers, that's the way I was taught to say it. That's just so cool and cute with your friendly neighbor raccoon. The one's I saw up at Ft. Lewis, WA were bigger than a full grown pit bull. We were told not to mess with them, because they might be rabid. I wouldn't want to mess with them when they were that big!!
funny, I've told people here in Indiana how big the raccoons get in N Cal, OR, & WA, and they don't believe me. I'd be a bit more hesitant as well, lol! This fat little momma is about as big as they get here. 🦝
@@RHumphrey, Maples are the best "ready-to-go" bats. When a player uses a birch bat and it breaks, they can't just grab another new birch bat. It has to be one that's hit at least 30 batting practice balls. A maple bat is ready to go immediately and the best consistency throughout it's life of use. :-) And like "vase," I'm sure I will be corrected by other's opinions. Hahaha
Hello from Alabama Rod , we say " vase " also ,😂 , the handle looks like it was made on the tool to begin with and the grain in the" vase " man the grain is unbelievable, I used to have a male and female raccoon I called Snoopy and Sara ,,,, they would eat dorritos out of my hand , nobody believed it until my wife at the time took photos ,,,we actually CAN all get along if we ALL simply try a little harder ,,, take care my friend
Good luck with the new carbide tool hope it goes well for you. As always great to see what other subscribers are doing. I've never turned my own tool handle either.!!!!!!! Vase vase I know what you mean it doesn't matter how you say it in my opinion anyway.
Amazing how many dialects there are in Indiana... I know brothers that grew up in the same house, one with a southern drawl, the other standard Midwest accent. I can't figure that out, lol...
Yeah, I've been resisting the urge for years, but Mike squared me away nicely! It does add a whole new aspect to my turning. I'm still addicted to my gouges of course, but This tool is amazing!
Really very nice looking handle Rod. My first handle was for a carbide tool as well and now that I think of it mine is made from cherry to. The bar for it my dad and I made and looks to be about the same size as that one. Beautiful work Rod as always. Oh and where would I send pictures of my work to to show you?
I really enjoy my carbide tools, they can really fill the bill! When they get dull give Capt. Eddie a call as he has the best price I've found, plus he has the bars as well. I have a bar for each of the basic shapes which makes it pretty easy to go from square to round to small round (hollowing). Anywho check it out.
Awsome Rod!...it was my sincere pleasure making that for you. Love your videos and they give me inspiration to make time to get turning on my new lathe. Thanks for all you do. (Handle and vase look great!)
💖
Mike Benjamin, very kind gift.
Thanks again Mike! A truly outstanding gift that I'll cherish for years to come! Semper Fi!
There still are people who genuinely show appreciation for just being a good person. Keep up the wonderful work guys
You did an awesome job. Thanks for helping out a brother Marine.
"Meathooks" love it, my Dad used to say "Get your meathooks outa there" if ones of us kids would try to sneak a taste of something being prepared for a meal. Hearing you say that took me right back there. Made me smile and think of him. RIP Dad...thank you. I'll be making a handles for my carbides now.
Great handle loved the vase
Thanks so much!😊
That handle looks great. I must say that vase had some amazing grain. Both are really great in my opinion. I love watching your videos, thanks for your hard work creating these wonderful pieces. The raccoon was very cute!
the animals feel great to people, that he came to you on the porch and calmly takes food - says a lot about you. good luck.
Thanks very much! I love my furry friends! 🦝
Mike proves there is still kindness in the world. The perfect gift that will contribute to making items of beauty. God Bless
He sure did, didn't he?! I'll use it often and be grateful every time! 😊
The handle turned out great. A wonderful gift that is now complete. Love the creations from your subscribers, especially the vase. As I was admiring that vase, there you went and made one too, lol.

Hi Rod, You're spoiling us with 2 projects in 1 video. A beautiful handle for a beautiful gift. The grain in the vase is amazing. Cheers, Huw
lol, I'm glad you felt spoiled by that! Things are going to slow down a bit for me really soon, necessary but only temporarily. I'll announce why in next weeks video.

Thank you Glen! I did get away with some uphill...sharp gouge fortunately 😊 otherwise I'd have been in for some tear out for sure...

Actually... and forgive me for failing to mention it, but this is a Cap'n Eddie carbide insert. Mike told me that, but I forgot until just now...
How lovely that you get to make something for yourself to use and hold which also includes a very thoughtful gift.
Truly amazing, and very unexpected! 😊
Hi Rod it is a nice handle you made fit for the king of turning. You are an amazing person I will put Helen on our prayer group for prayer. Semper Fi dear Rod.
Thank you Kobie! I am but a humble servant of the King. I appreciate that, Semper Fi
Beautiful Rod. What a tremendous gift. Yes, I will be praying for Helen. I am a prayer warrior, including praying for you and your family.
❤ Happy New Year in anticipation! 🎉❤😍🙏 Thank you for being you 🎉❤😍🙏
Great handle Rod! Welcome to the carbide club. I started out using carbide and now I'm trying to get as much practice as I can with the gouges. I've got the exterior cuts down pretty well, but the interior is another story. More practice required. Thank you for sharing brother! - Ed
Thanks Ed! I can already tell I need some practice with it... just what I needed, another excuse to turn! 😁
Sir you are absolutely awesome the tool handle is absolutely amazing and the vase is stunning beautiful I enjoy watching your videos my friend, take care my friend god bless from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦞🦞🐊🐊Cajun 🐊🐊🦞🦞🇺🇸🇺🇸. For the lady who is sick sending prayers to you.
Thank you so much Donald, much appreciated! Semper Fi
Gorgeous handle for your new tool! Custom handles make working more of a joy and comfortable.
Thank you very much!
Awesome piece of work. Some people don't realize the importance of having a good tool handle that fits your grip. Like making your own rock maple mallet instead of buying one. Kudos.
Thank you and I sure agree. Love how this one fits the meat hooks. 😊
@@RHumphrey I have the opposite problem, my hands are the same size as the average 8 year old.
We thank you for sharing your talent with us!! Fantastic job!!! Did you have a good Easter?? My brother in law and his family hide 400 eggs at his house. It was a family reunion. Great fun and great food!!!😱😱😱😱
Thank you LInda, yes we did! Low key, nice and quiet. Wow, that's a lot of eggs!
A very nice tool and cherry handle to hold it. Since I got hooked on bowls (thanks to you), I don't do much spindle turning anymore. I like that vase.
I have the same addiction, lol... Thank you!
The surprise little vase you made is awesome and stunning.
Thank you very much!
Nice vase and what a nice gift to receive a carbide tool!
Thank you! So nice!!!
What a great guy making that cool tool. Great use you will make of it. Love your videos. More nature at the end that's such a good touch. That funny looking bear looks so cute.
Thanks very much! 😊
Great video! I am making my own carbide tipped tools and your handle gave me a good idea of what to do! Not only are your videos fun to watch, they are educational too!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOSTANDING!!!!!!!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I do like the design of the tool handle and you're gong to like that carbide so well you'll have to have more. Good job Rod.
Thank you! I suspect you're right about that, lol... (it's a healthy addiction 😊)
Nicely crafted looks very nice , and the vase is cool also 👊😁🤙
Great job on the handle! I got a feeling you will be using that carbide quite a bit especially for the rough in. Cheers!
Thanks Gilbert, I have a feeling you're right my friend! Cheers! Love that rocking chair you just made!
That is one of the advantages of making your own handles. You can make them fit you.
exactly! perfect fit 😊
What perfect timing! I got a set of carbide tools for Christmas that came with only one handle, and I had just decided to make 2 handles so I don't have to change them out. Thanks for another great video, now I just need to find some 2 x 2 stock, all I have is box stores around, no real lumber companies.
Great Christmas presents! No doubt, you'll find a couple suitable chunks somewhere! Don't forget the firewood pile!
Awesome! Really enjoyed it on the big screen. The grain was really beautiful on that. Enjoyed our buddy at the end too. LOL
Thank you brother...as I write this, I'm missing out on coffee and conversation. Sorry about that, but I've got to get ahead if I can, for reasons yet unannounced to the public.
Nice work and thank you Rod for the videos you make. I love them. Keep them making.
Thank you very much, and will do! I'll have a forced slow down for a short time though, maybe a couple caps in weeks. Explanation coming soon.
That's an awesome gift! I just started turning all I have used is carbide. Traditional tools intimidated me for some reason lol
I cut my turning teeth on traditional tools, there is a learning curve to use and sharpening, no doubt. I'm enjoying this carbide too though... 😊
A tool and a war club!! Nicely done sir!!
Multi tasker! Thank you
What a great gift Mike!! Gorgeous vase too. All the creative audience members just amaze me. Wow. 💖💖
Thank you! I'm continuously amazed by this audience!!! wonderful!
Really nice job on the handle. I think it does justice to the tool.
Thank you very much!
As always, very nice.
I love your little buddy at the end too!😀

Beautiful handle befitting the new tool. The vase kind of looks like an elephant foot.
Thank you! I agree, it does look like a foot or hoof of some sort. Maybe the angle helps with that...
Terrific handle and tool. I have 4 handles to do and I really like your design. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much! 😊
your new handles reminded me of cane......you could makes canes for those who would love a customized stick. your work is unbelievably beautiful...

That would make a great blackjack! A great looking handle. God Bless, and as always, BE SAFE!! Anchors away.
Thank you! Semper Fi!
Really good looking tool handle, Top! I like the shape. It has a kind of organic shape.
Billy
Thanks Billy. It fits nicely and has a couple nice choke points
Great job Rod love my carbide tools and use them on all my work and always get great results 👍
Thank you! I'm sure I'll be using this one quite a bit as well 😊
Handle looks great, I need to rehandle a few old tools that were recently given to me, this will give me some ideas.
Thank you very much!
Another lovely piece of work mate and a visit from mother nature to. Love your work as i'v said be for cobber.
Thank you very much, mate! Cheers!

Thanks very much! 😊
Beautiful vase and a great tool.
Thank you very much!
Nice work, and very fitting first use for the new carbide. I'm still trying to get the hang of the carbide
Thank you, yep me too... I can see why they're so popular though!
Awesome. Thanks mr Humphrey
You're welcome Sony, and thank you!
That’s super funky! The vase and the handle! Love them. Bye bye!
Thank you Evan!
Nice handle, Rod. I'm glad you finally have a carbide tool and a handle that fits you. Pronunciation? You could pronounce it bowl and not worry about anyone else. Also it looks like the big tough marine is a softie.
Lol... I do have a soft spot here and there...don't tell anyone though, lest the archers take aim!
Good work on the lathe handle Rod! Thanks for sharing the video with us' Good capture of the Raccoon at the end.👌😎👍JP
Thank you JP! I'm glad you liked my little Raccoon friend 😊🦝
Your very welcome Rod! Have a great week!😎
Yeppers, that's the way I was taught to say it. That's just so cool and cute with your friendly neighbor raccoon. The one's I saw up at Ft. Lewis, WA were bigger than a full grown pit bull. We were told not to mess with them, because they might be rabid. I wouldn't want to mess with them when they were that big!!

That carbide tool is amazing. Very nice fit & finish work on the handle.
Thanks very much!
Great job on both, happy you have a tool that will compliment your future project. Look forward to seeing more. And yes, thanks Mike. 😁
Thanks very much! 😊
Good video Rod, your handle looks great and I like the vase. Super awesome of Mike.
Thank you very much Gary!
Great looking handle, nice work
Thank you very much!
Pool cues come to mind here as well.
I see what you mean!
"And for my next trick... an All-American Baseball Bat!" :-) Nice work, once again!
Maple, Ash, or Birch? Any thoughts? I'm not sure which is preferred but I know all three are used. Thanks!
@@RHumphrey, Maples are the best "ready-to-go" bats. When a player uses a birch bat and it breaks, they can't just grab another new birch bat. It has to be one that's hit at least 30 batting practice balls. A maple bat is ready to go immediately and the best consistency throughout it's life of use. :-) And like "vase," I'm sure I will be corrected by other's opinions. Hahaha
Great Tool from Mike
Great Handle from Rod
Nice to see your friend, Rocky
Thanks very much! 😊🦝
Very nice!! And thx for feeding our furry friends!!👍👍👍
Thank you! Our wildlife may be a bit pampered...lol 🦝
This is fantastic! I love this handle, great job!

Great work, that beautiful handle does the tool honor!
And I just love the small clips in the end.
You`re a good man!

Nice vase, mate. Nice handle too. Lol.
Thank you Cathy! 😊
Both pieces are awesome Rod. Once again thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Cool handle Rod. Looks like an old english nightstick. As for as feeding your masked friend, they also like pretzels and popsicles.
lol, they love leftovers of about any kind too... nothing wasted here, little oinkers!
Did you ever get my email? It would be titled dmenderski. I got something for you to turn.

Looks great Rod, cool handle!

Hello from Alabama Rod , we say " vase " also ,😂 , the handle looks like it was made on the tool to begin with and the grain in the" vase " man the grain is unbelievable, I used to have a male and female raccoon I called Snoopy and Sara ,,,, they would eat dorritos out of my hand , nobody believed it until my wife at the time took photos ,,,we actually CAN all get along if we ALL simply try a little harder ,,, take care my friend
I couldn't agree more, Jeff! Well said. (snoopy and sara, lol 🦝🦝)
You always do such an amazing job on everything you work on you're definitely an inspiration thank you
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great work, Rod! All of my carbide tools are DIY tools and they have served me well. It's also more economical.
Thank you! No doubt. this one will do the same for me 😊
What an amazing gift. :)
So amazing! 😊
Good luck with the new carbide tool hope it goes well for you. As always great to see what other subscribers are doing. I've never turned my own tool handle either.!!!!!!! Vase vase I know what you mean it doesn't matter how you say it in my opinion anyway.
Thank you very much! You're right...I probably shouldn't have mentioned it, lol...
Rod, Awesome video enjoyed all the content thanks for sharing and I hope your day is wonderful.!.!.!.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Interesting shape on the handle. As I get older I find I like a meatier handle. Good job Top.
Thank you! It gives me a couple nice options for holding points, and I'm with you there....
I used to say “vahs” when I lived in NY. I learned “vace” when I moved to Indiana. Now I use them both interchangeably.
Amazing how many dialects there are in Indiana... I know brothers that grew up in the same house, one with a southern drawl, the other standard Midwest accent. I can't figure that out, lol...
welle nice jobe rod love that handle tolls nice shape
Thank you very much!
Nice work Sir. Semper Fi
Thank you! Semper Fi!
Nice handle, pretty vase. I just got me a set of carbide tools. Unbelievable on how they cut. I am having to rethink on how I turn.
Yeah, I've been resisting the urge for years, but Mike squared me away nicely! It does add a whole new aspect to my turning. I'm still addicted to my gouges of course, but This tool is amazing!
Great tool. I've made a few myself but not quite as nice as yours. Enjoy using it, carbides are brilliant for lots of turnings. 🙂
Thank you Miss Tee, I'll enjoy getting to know this tool and I'm sure I'll use it frequently!
Great job thanks for sharing I love 💕 your videos
Thank you very much!

As I've seen the finished handle for the carbide, it put me in mind of gandalfs staff, soooh in that "none shall vase"😋 lol
lol, I like that comparison 😊
Really very nice looking handle Rod. My first handle was for a carbide tool as well and now that I think of it mine is made from cherry to. The bar for it my dad and I made and looks to be about the same size as that one. Beautiful work Rod as always. Oh and where would I send pictures of my work to to show you?
