I appreciate that

Very nice Mike....! The stain gives it a bit of patina...! Once again I thank you for your well edited video show.....! May you and your loved ones have a great safe day....!

Great project! Now I have to find that old piece of oak I stashed for a rainy day. Thanks for your videos!

Nice job. I like these simple projects Mike. Thanks

That's an interesting turning. My wife would like one (several) of these, I think. Using a piece of rough cut lumber makes a nice contrast with the turned part. I don't care for the green color but this is just a personal preference. Staining or coloring different parts certainly adds interest. Thanks for the idea. I've made several items you've shown and they are real useful and a timesaver for me.

Go for it! The green was a metallic wax. I have a copper wax that might have looked nice.

Nice little project Mike. Thanks as usual for sharing your Video. Kind Regards Col

Inspirational M. Mike. I have a piece of oak in the garage... ready for some twig pots. Thanks for sharing. Marc

Thanks again for your well thought out and demonstrated video. I look forward every week for your new effort!

Thanks, Peter. Hope all is well with you and Lucy.

Looks great Mike.

Nice little project Mike. I think I will give one a go.

That's a real nice idea good job

Beautifully done 😆

nice idea Mike

Mike, I just happen to have an old 4x4 from the lumber yard. They make them there and utilize them for air drying the huge counter top slabs. I’m told they sell squares from 2” up to 8” oak. Interestingly enough , many of these Culling sticks are sold for a buck a piece. My son makes snowmen from them,,, now I have a lathe, lol so I can turn a few of these small pots myself. Well done once again Mike. Happy turning !!

Excellent! A rectangular shape looks best in my opinion.

nice job I think I will give it a try

As I said in Atlanta when I met you, I really enjoy the teaching you do. I think this is a little beyond my skills yet but will definitely give it a show in the future.

Twig pots are great skill builder, Scott. Go back to my earlier video on a regular twig pot and you will be doing multi axis pots in no time.

Great idea - thanks especially useful about coming in first with a gauge before the parting tool on straight/square pieces.

Thanks for that comment, Richard. All comments are appreciated but specific comments, like yours, provide reinforcement on what I am doing right or the need to change what needs improvement.

I will shurely try that one. thanks Mike, Jùlíus

Thanks Mike I will have a go at that. Bess ya

Hi Mike,Tried out the square bottom twig pot today. It started out as a "clear out the lathe shop" day and I found a piece of 60x60x800mm oak with a very knotty end that I cut off and almost threw away,so on the lathe it went, and it turned out [play on words there] quite well, and the knots look great. Thanks for the idea and happy turning.

Cool project Mike. I think it's bold leaving the mill finish. And you sure do enjoy your bowl gouge!

Thanks. Tools are like your children. They are each different and you love 'em all. Some are more of a challenge, like the skew!

You make it look so easy Mike!!! Tom

No Mike it's not rocket surgery but me being 73 and in the learning stages it's more like building my first soap box racer,,,,,out of cement!!! LOL Thanks for all your videos,,,,I learn a lot from them! Tom

Nice little project,not to sure about that patina shade though and a nice spalted handle on that wide parting tool. Thanks Mike

good job

Nice little Twig Pot Mike. I agree with your comment that the green was a little too much until some came up with the Antique Oil. Very nice looking finished product. The first question I get when I gift one of these is "Can you put water inside?". I think I'll experiment with some thinned down epoxy to see if I can make a sort of liner to hold water. The Wood Whirler uses denatured alcohol to thin his epoxy. That might be the answer I need. No big loss if it doesn't work.

Some folks make them big enough to put in a plastic insert like a small test tube. But these would generally be called a bud vase whereas a twig pot is designed to hold a few dried twigs or weeds.

Mike, Thanks for this vid. on band saw blades. I've had trouble with the blades I've been getting from Woodcraft. Just a few cuts and there dull or break. After watching this vid. I understand what to look or ask for. Thanks a lot

I don't think WC sells a blade like I recommend.

Really interesting project. I think this is the first video I've seen with leaving some of the blank square, apart from Steve Jones Woodturner21, but then he is a production turner. I like the rough rustic look on the square wood, but as you've done two would be interesting to see how they compare with one planed and sanded up all smooth. Well done!

Thanks, Paul. I did one other project leaving part of the turning square. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6Ogrc-qd9rMcbw.html

Every Friday a neat surprise! Thanks Mike. Hope your dust collection is on just out of sight? Bummer how the tailstock handle blocked the camera from showing the tool angle in the first shots, gotta try this too!

Thanks for commenting. Yes, I will have to pay more attention to that knob: )

Hi Mike: I was in bearings and power transmission for over 10 years. In this video, your band saw is "chirping" and that is representative of one or more bearings starting to fail. Bearing don't get enough lubricant and chirping is caused by the balls seizing in the raceways. Mine is a jet and failed on the lower wheel. Jim.

I hope you are wrong. That sound is not a regular occurrence and I think it was the sound of the blade rubbing on the thrust bearing which I have to adjust every time I raise or lower the blade guard.
