Beginner with lathe, free woodshop in my Library. I made a pen, birdhouse Christmas ornament,...I find your video interesting, very educational, great tips. I watch to learn, then practice in workshop. Volunteer woodmakers. Oh going to make your angel next!!

A perfect complement to the previous ornament video! Thanks a lot, Mike. …..Gord

So beautiful

Thank you for always adding the little tips as you go along. There are so many little things as we learn that is it hard to remember them all so your videos are always informative. Thank you

I appreciate your feedback, Kenneth. I enjoy sharing.

Mike one of the things I do on hollowed ornaments and urchins I use spray foam insulation on the inside. It adds no weight to speak off and makes the hollow form very strong if dropped also helps with glueing the top and finial. Nice job!👍🇺🇸. I should add not the expanding foam.

I'm already one step ahead Mike. After your earlier video last week, I have already started with the Tree Ornaments. Although maybe I should have waited to hear about the proportions for the Finials. I've used Paulownia (like Balsa) for the Globe, and a dark hard wood (Acacia) for the Finials. 4 done and maybe another 4 to keep all the ladies in my life happy. :D Thanks Mike. P.S. I told a friend about your Angels and now he is in full production :D

Excellent!

Good video and good tip on fitting the top. I haven't tried that method, I have used a small dowel glued into both top and icicle, the tapered top and icicle center on the globe and when the glued dowel sets up it holds the pieces nicely.

I do that on sea urchins but carpenters glue is plenty strong for these.

I didn't want to let this Christmas season end without saying thanks for the inspiration, Mike. After viewing this, I pulled up Part 1 and some other ornament videos and then, in a moment of insanity, decided to make some for gifts. Twenty-five, to be exact! I started on December 2 and finished the glue-ups at 4:30 pm, Christmas Eve. We had a dozen or so family over on Christmas day and everyone got to pick out their favorite to take home. I also made 25 display stands. I think my next Christmas project will start a little earlier in the year. Along the way I viewed your video on two-part bleach and gave that a try, too. The globes were locally harvested sycamore, seasoned for a year. The caps and icicles were mahogany. I bleached 2/3 of the globes. I ebonized 2/3 of the caps and icicles with leather dye (probably got that idea from you, too). I settled on about four designs for caps and icicles and made a half dozen or so of each. Great practice! So, there were three basic combinations... bleached globes with ebonized finials, natural globes with ebonized finials, and bleached globes with natural finials. I also had to make two "allen wrench hollowing tools" (straight and 90 degree), again relying on your video guidance and additional help from Sam Angelo. The same sycamore for the handles, copper for the ferrules. They worked great, with only one "scary" catch in the whole batch of globes. Keep up the good work, Mike. You're a terrific resource. I've actually been turning longer than you, I think. However, after the first couple of years I lapsed and turned nothing for nearly 14 years, picking up where I left off, just last year, by finish turning a segmented vase that I had glued up in 2003! So, I'm a veteran newbie, I guess, and your videos remind me of tricks and techniques I've forgotten and introduce much needed new material to consider. Happy New Year!

There sure is a lot of information here. I have used water with a glue mix to swell wood when needed. Then after drying, I glue in place with carptener's glue. BEAUTIFUL finals SAFE TURNING, John

I stay busy but still have large blocks of time to devote to whatever I am doing, like getting up to speed on tax law changes. But you can do some of this in bits, like selecting the wood and roughing round and adding a tenon. Next time you can turn. Another time add finish, another time assemble.

them are really pretty mike . you know i dont know how hard it would be for you to do but it would be cool if you could thread the finial then you could fill the ornament with candy or maybe a nice small gift for that beautiful lady in your life . you know what im talking about . another awesome video my friend be waiting on the next one and more then likely be watching the older ones to lol . god bless brother

Thanks for all the great tips. I'm hoping to make some ornaments to sell at a craft fair to support my "addiction" 🤣 The hollowing will be tricky. I'm going to try to make an Allen wrench hollowed because... well it's currently affordable for me. Appreciate your videos.

Make it a thick one and cut the tip back to reduce the torque. Better yet is a 1/2" x 1/4 HSS flat tool (old skew or scraper) that you can reshape into a hooked nose scraper like a Dale Nish style scraper.

I might have to try that wooden collet idea. That's clever. Been wondering how to hold small stuff. Have you tried the really small jaws on that nova? Need to upgrade from my psi chuck. The screws keep stripping out.

@MikePeaceWoodturning

4 жыл бұрын

I have heard that before on the PSI chuck screws being a bit soft. Nova has several small jaws. I used their 25 and 35mm bowl jaws. I rarely used them because they closed too small, a bit less then 3/8". I find the Record Power jaws that fit a Nova a much more useful set. Watch my video on jaws.

Love your work. I watch all your videos. Can you tell me about your collet and chuck? What is the brand? Does chuck and collets come as a set? Where did you acquire them? I want to get those tools but I don't know a good one from a bad one. From one veteran to another best of luck in the future..
