I injured my finger on similar operation. It's my dads fault though, as I wasn't experienced with the spindle moulder enough to do shaping with the ring. All he said was "hold it very strong", and then the cutterhead ripped the piece from my hands, pulling my left hand into the cutter. I felt a slap on my fingers, looked at my hand - luckily all of the fingers were on my hand. One deep clean cut through the whole fingernail lengthwise - a scar and disfigured fingernail for life, to remind me to respect spindle moulder. I used that spindle moulder many times since then, and still love that machine. Probably my favourite.
Thanks Tony. I've been working these machines for 36 years but still find them nurvey. The spindle moulder is the most dangerous machine and commands a lot of respect but it is such a versatile machine and one of my favourites.
Geeeeeeez. It doesn’t matter how many times you run big cutters on big jigs against the grain on a curve it still makes you cringe. Great work! Treat your fingers and hands to a manicure and hand massage while you still have them.
Very well done. Can I ask what you are making I initially thought the 1st peice was a bull nose stair thread. But the other pieces suggested something else. Great work by the way. I feared that the tight radius peice would shatter or blow out as you neared the final straight. But I was well imressed👍
Hi, the larger piece is indeed a bottom tread. The other 2 pieces are mouldings for the same staircase. I was overlaying the original staircase entirely with oak. I will add photos of the before and after pictures when I get round to it.
I would be scared too, look at this piece of metal spinning! Im scared even when i use it with the guard on but without feeder! The shaper is a hand eater
Shouldn’t even be publishing them practices !!! can see in him how uncomfotable he is machining that ! No attemp at all to even guard that cutter head ! Idiot
@@laius6047 Hello mate ,check out the Aigner Bowmaster Ring Fence guard If not at least mock up some sort of box to cover the majority of the shaft and cutterhead ! You are Obviously into woodmaching, to be doing what your doing , you cant do any of it without hands 👍
@@davegill8634 well I didn't expect to get an answer. I thought about some sort of box. But what about the concave part he was milling? I think the guard would be in the way. Anyway, I'm no machinist, just a guy trying to make a living by woodworking. I guess sometimes there's no other way except to minimise risk as much as possible and go for it.
Always a huge relief when you finish your job at the spindle moulder with no incidents lol
My old man and I did this stuff together for 40 years, I miss him, but I’m thankful for the knowledge and skills he has passed to me.
I like your work holding, going to have to store those ideas away for later.

Hi Mark. Just found you. Like me old school wood machining. Great content, really enjoyed. Tony
Thanks Tony.

It takes balls to freehand radius work with that big head on there!! Good job well done
A real workshop where somebody actually makes something instead of just videos of themselves waffling.
Geeeeeeez. It doesn’t matter how many times you run big cutters on big jigs against the grain on a curve it still makes you cringe. Great work! Treat your fingers and hands to a manicure and hand massage while you still have them.
Impressive machinery. Impressive workmanship.
Круто! Я такого ещё не видел. Возьму на заметку. Спасибо
I like that ring guide.
Nice work. A shaper is capable of many complex things. I've got several shapers and find my heavy tilt to be the most versatile.
Didn't realise I could hold my breath for 4 minutes 33 secs.........wow
Imagine him, when i do dangerous stuff i hold my breath, stop, breath and keep on doing
put out more content! this is amazing!
How are you keeping that straight? Like how is the bite your taking perfectly consistent with no guide?
Very nice!
Scary as hell! But a nice result!

You should have a cage guard over the cutter block no ifs no buts 😮 you would have been dismissed working like that in my day
where can I buy this spindle machine
Ну так оно и делается. Молодец!!!
Svaka čast majstore !
how many passes did it take.
Hi Sean, in total it took 7 passes taking between 3 and 4 mm off each time.
@@mickeytaker71 Thanks for the video Mark, I'm guessing you have multiple ring collars it varying diameters?
@@bengrg2 yes I used 4 different sized collars but added a 2mm strip of plastic to each collar first then removed it so basically 7 reductions.
About a 9 on the puck-O-meter
Holly courage
Interesting how many underware he changed before finishing such a job.I can see clearly he is scared ....But result is great))))))
I would be scared too, look at this piece of metal spinning! Im scared even when i use it with the guard on but without feeder! The shaper is a hand eater
fear is a healthy response in this situation. i would not want to work next to someone who wasn't afraid of performing this cut.
Gotta watch the grain of the oak. Could lead to a blow up.
Superman. Still ball...
That's terrifying
I'd rather spent hours doing it by hand as i'd be too scared to use that.
Mai lavorare senza protezioni
Way, way, way too dangerous!
Scary doing ring work :/
slightest bit of kickback and its game over looks like your nut just pinching the threads aswell🥴
I’ve been a wood machinist for 27 years and seeing this guy working that spindle like that makes me cringe 🥴👍
Shouldn’t even be publishing them practices !!! can see in him how uncomfotable he is machining that ! No attemp at all to even guard that cutter head ! Idiot
@@davegill8634 How would you even guard the cutter head in this instance?
