Thank you Mike, your demonstration and explanation of this technique was VERY helpful. Sometimes it's the little things that you say and do that promote safety in addition to technique that I appreciate the most. Please keep the videos coming because they make a world of difference.

Hi, I am from Huntsville, Texas. I aquired a lathe and am going to learn how to turn wood. I came across your channel and like what I see so decided to subscribe to you.

Thanks! Safe turning my friend.

This video just answered all of my questions Mike. Thank you for sharing

I think this is magic, so very nice and educational. Thanks.

Thank you Mike for a very informative video. I've turned quite a few twig pots but they've all been in line. I've been curious on how to make them off centre and your video helps a lot. I include a plastic or glass test tube in the straight up and down pots to retain some water to help preserve something like a rose bud. Keep turning and I look forward to more uploads.

Harry’s Woodcraft what is the method to use two chucks. I have a real problem putting the small off center tenon on. Thanks

@MikePeaceWoodturning

7 жыл бұрын

What kind of problem are you having? After turning the larger tenon and rounding off the blank, you put the blank between centers but offset from center on each end by perhaps 10mm. Then with it off center, turn the smaller tenon so it will fit entirely within the larger tenon. The larger tenon must be about 7/16" long to allow the second tenon to be cut . The smaller tenon is much shorter. This will allow the use of either the larger or smaller tenon. Look at the picture at 2:13.

My problem is cutting the second tenon. When trying to cut second tenon I get a really bouncing of parting tool. It bounces so much I tear up first tenon and second one is pretty rough. Did get it cut but wanted to see if you had any suggestions. Thanks for your time.

Speed faster then 1200. Sharpen your PT. Slow your tool feed rate and make sure you are doing a peeling cut.

Great job Mike!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Mauro

What you have there is not a Jacobs chuck, which uses a key to lock/unlock, it is a keyless Albrecht chuck named after its German designer, Albrecht, in the 1930’s.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning-Hi Mike of the "Fab Four", which I christened the group of four with their new project each month. A brilliant concept and I enjoy seeing what you all make. I recently did the same with Richard Raffan-he, like most would assume drill chucks are all Jacobs, but the differences are quite significant, one needs a key to lock/unlock and one does not. The Albrecht chuck is in extensive use throughout industry. I am a retired medic with many hobbies, including a metal machinist, with extensive metal working equipment, which I use for building large astronomical telescopes, cameras, observatories and various equipment, and I raided my supply of Albrecht drill chucks to use on the two wood lathes I purchased over the past three years. I have extended my hobbies to include wood turning as we have some fantastic timbers in Tasmania, some grown on our own 5-acre property, eucalyptus, wattle, blackwood, Casuarina (she-oak) and others. lots of dead stuff around the place so I don'thave to buy wood. Just bought the Vicmarc Eccentric chuck system, not cheap, so I hope I can master its use!. I recently bought a Carbatec 'Wobble Chuck', the off centre and eccentric turning really looks a challenge, and I like doing things that are a little 'off beat'. I love your off centre twig pots as well as the many other items you make. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 42 South.

Enjoyed the education on the twig pot. How did you lock the spindle?

+Bent Tree The 3520 B has a spindle lock. Mine has a little sliding cover to keep it locked.

couldn't it be turned between centers with a hollow live center and a long drill bit..?

@MikePeaceWoodturning

+SkunkTreeCarvings That is an idea. I have never tried to drill thru my live center. My Nova system has a pretty large opening. The only problem is you are not able to face off or shape the very top around the hole without chucking the base.

Hey Mike, I was wondering if it's possible to really take this idea to a different level. What if you were to mount the base in the chuck so that the resulting drilled out stem is more about 15 or 20 degrees to the base, rather than basically perpendicular. What you have is really nice but having a similar item with the vertical stem pointing off on an angle of 15 or 20 or 30 degrees would look quite weird. I cant test this idea myself at this time, but you're the perfect guy to try tweaking this twig pot and do something really off the wall with it.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning There is a video on youtube of a fellow turning some birds using 3 axis turning so that the neck of the bird is on an angle, and off set to the axis of the base. I've seen a few that were just offset but for this one the neck and head were at an angle relative to the base. It was quite unique.
