Who doesn't like the waffling? That is part of your charm. Can't wait to see what you can come up with the brass shavings. It will be interesting to see if brass reacts to resin.

Brass is soft enough you can use wood working tools on it without damaging them if you go easy and don't take heavy cuts... Aluminum is too...

Yes. We boys actually had those available to use in "shop class" in the late '50s when we were in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Sadly, today's parents would probably freak out if their early teen boys had access to powerful machines.

Next time try using carbide tip tools. And it's always a good thing to add a little bit of lubricant (wd-40) to help with the cutting process. Other than that this piece turned out amazing!

Slow the speed down too. Metal on metal, even soft metal creates a lot of heat which because of the workpiece mass, is only felt by your tools.

Hey all, hope you like this video , tell me what you think I should do with the savings?

I’m not sure about in the UK, but in the USA you can go to a local tool or steel supplier and buy sticks of high speed steel. If you decide to do more project like this, and I hope you do because it’s beautiful. You could make your own tools for these kind of projects that will hold up to cutting the brass a lot better. I love your videos. Keep them coming.

Love your videos! I bought a lathe and started turning because of your videos! First thing I made was a pen out of resin and it turned out amazing! You are the one who taught me how to turn! By the way, my first lathe is the same size as yours and everyone thought I was crazy 😂 also, I have a seizure disorder and turning is what relieves my stress. It’s part of what saves my life! Thank you for sharing yourself with us and teaching us! One thing I have always wanted to see though is a beginners video. Just one for beginners with rules of the trade and tips for success! Again, thank you for sharing and keep them coming! I love watching from start to finish, something about it is so relaxing!

Enjoyed this,did not realize you could ‘turn’ brass. Wow, it turned out gorgeous

I've had to hand turn small brass components in the past, so I am very aware of how difficult it is to "wood turn" brass, my hat off to you for such an impressive result Nick!

Watching at 4:17am Saturday in the US. I had to pull a 11 hr work day. But I'm always a follower and waffle on!!! 💯💯💯

I'm thrilled you went from almost leaving us to starting a second channel. ❤😊

Nick, I can’t speak for everybody but I am really impressed with that one. I’d like to have two of them made for jewelry boxes they would be great. Sincerely, Chuck.

This is stunning! You made a good decision to cut the finial down. The wood and milliput bands enhance the piece beautifully. I can't wait for a project with the shavings. Something with an internal light, perhaps?

Oooooh, shiny! I love shiny things 😍 I was acutally waiting for the whole thing to just fly off the lathe - glad it did not. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Would be a perfect jewel box if you put in some red or purple felt... Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend yourself. We are getting snowed in right now - everything is white including the sky 😆

That’s awesome. I’ve made similar but with a metal lathe. The problem is it’s not as fluid with the movements as you can be by hand.

I think you can get specific metal.turning tools. Also, they're often turned in enclosed lathes which spray an oily liquid to cool and lubricate. However you've done a fantastic job there. I think some finer grade wet and dry for getting a perfect mirror finish is all thats really needed, oh and dont use Brasso, use Peek as it's less abrasive than Brasso (which peversely scratches the metal). Excellent as ever, and bonkersly entertaining.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my metal shop teacher about how he thought artists don’t use these techniques correctly. Mr. Beam was a gruff old guy who punished us by making us sit in the class and play with a gigantic nut and bolt because that was all we were good for 😂 Love that old Dude. That is how I got interested in the metal lathe, playing with the bolt. 😂

I like the waffle. Don't change the weird, you be you. Love the piece ❤🎉

The most beautiful and hardest to turn creation. Thanks for showing us your protection and how difficult this was. I'd love to see you do some turning with copper..my favorite metal. Love the waffle, Nick! 💜💜💜

Your waffling is art!!! Never stop! Love Love Love it!!! Odd? Never!!!

Looks heavy but love it!

It was a crazy idea, Nick, turning metal on a wood lathe but the result is outstanding. My favourite part was at 15.15 when the wood was transformed with the addition of a coat of finish. Have a good weekend yourself 🌞

Best protection I've seen 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely gorgeous work and I hope that the tools weren't too ruined!

That looks amazing!! 👏👏👏 I think making a chalice with the remaining piece of brass would be nice. 🙌

Also, I personally think waffling videos are the best❤ I've watched a couple without and it just wasn't the same. I absolutely love the gems you make Nick!!

Work smarter not harder is my mantra for basically everything now.

Love that you are using such a variety of materials. Another great project. Your waffling and personality are a great addition to your projects.

That is absolutely gorgeous! It shined up so well. I can only imagine how satisfying the weight and heft of the piece feels

Mr.Zammeti that was a beautiful piece you made sir!!! If you are going to turn metal with wood tools try Aluminum next time waaaaay softer. Keep the projects coming sir!!! Absolutely love your stuff, i have been watching for along time enjoy everything!!

If you could add black and silver to it 🤤 lol all those colors plus the wood would look devastatingly beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hand whittling a chungus of brass that big is pretty ballsy, man. Hats off!

Completely amazing. I love your waffling about! You could try using the shavings in making those drop pot thingies. Just a little idea.😉 Anyway whatever you come up with will be cool.

I could watch brass being turned for hours. (I have watched brass being turned for hours.) Loved this. I bet after the brass, turning the finial felt like cutting butter!

Such an elegant piece Nick, absolutely love it!❤️❤️❤️

Brass work hardens i believe, so you need to anneal it to make it soft

I must say, as a retired metal worker, (Welder, Machinist, and Fabricator) that you are pretty brave to cut metal with wood turning tools. For me, anything less than carbide tooling would be so time consuming that it would never be worth the effort. Kudos on this project. It takes skill to combine metal of any sort with wood to create. and, it takes a very wild imagination. Well done.

Wow that turned out amazing I wasn’t sure what to expect that’s a heavy piece of brass I love this channel and all the waffling

It's beautiful. That's for the person who has everything. Good job 💜

If you plan to try and turn more metal, please look into getting metal cutting tools. That way you can save your woodworking tools from the wear and tear. Also, if you wax the brass, it won't oxidize keeping it beautiful. Another thing I have asked many times if you have ever used beading tools? If you get good enough you can make rings that will leave people wondering how you got them on the piece.

That came out beautiful!! I love it!! Great job!!😊🎉❤

Nick, this is so beautiful. I absolutely love it. It's always a good day when I see that you have uploaded a new video. Waffle on my friend

The brass pot really looks good, loved the long spire but the smaller one is better proportioned. Looking forward to how you use the brass shavings. And what you are going to do with the rest of the brass.

Geezers, from the thumbnail, I thought you were working with a piece hollow brass tube. Silly me, I forgot what a mad lad you are, Nick😅. It is beautiful, great contrast between the wood and polished brass. I'd suggest that you look into a small metal lathe if you want to continue working with metals.

Love it and keep waffling. 🎉

Nick , Absolutely gorgeous project as usual. You're so talented. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Much appreciation and love from the US. Stay safe and waffle on my friend

You should use the solid brass as 'fillers' for your pours. Then you wouldn't waste so much material and resins when turning them. And yes, keep the waffling. That is true 'Nick' and we love Nick!

Really nice project. Two blows on the trumpet at least!

I prefer the waffles, personally. I find you to be quite entertaining and educational. I want to learn how to turn stuff and I first found that interest from your videos. So, you've helped inspire me. Waffling on has taught me and made me chuckle on more than one occasion!! Keep up the good work!

I'll take you're waffling any time! Awesome project!

Lovely job, Nick - and you're absolutely right about the finial! ❤

I love it when it gets shiny! It’s one of those things where I can hear the little Elf of Anxiety in my brain sigh of relief. I swear your videos are mental health medication ♥️

This piece is beautiful!! And yes, I love your unique personality and your waffling!!

Haven't seen you turn a finial in years. Gorgeous piece.

Another entertaining video. The perfect mix of waffle and performance.

Very nice brass box

I love your neon sign!

Now why would people think you're weird? 🤪😂 That turned out so beautiful😍 glad you kept it straight and minimalistic. And every time you show the lathe spinning in slow motion my heart stops😂❤

I love the waffle! I'll always watch till the end! Great video, as always! I look forward to the next one! 😁

Good call on the finial-it was definitely too tall at first. The jar is lovely! Really like the wood with the brass. Great job, Nick!

Another great project! So nice to not see any resin for a change. Woud love to see more pure wood and non-resin projects.

You could try an get, for future you, some carbide inserts for metal to use on your woodworking tools. I noticed that some of them have insert cutters....great waffle and excellent skillz, yes with a z. For Zametti.

Beautiful ashtray. 😍

Incredible piece of work! That took a jumble amount of patience 🎉

It’s so shiny 🤩 Love your videos, they always make me smile when I need it the most! 😊
