Thanks Brendan, the pencil lines are a life saver you can barely see the piece with out them. Take care, Carl

Thats pretty cool Carl.

It is 10 parts paste wax and 1 part mineral that I dip the sand paper in. Thanks, Carl

Thanks, only about 20min

Thanks Robbie, Yes it's a handy little jig. Take care, Carl

Thanks Leonard,

Yes it will darken depending on the light. Thanks, Carl

Thank you, I just drilled different sized forstner bits into it. I turned the pendants to fit it.

Thanks Andy, yes I did a video on making the jig I will add it as a video response to this one.

Hi Guy, Yes, I like the round one better. I still need the flat one though to get into some tight spots. Sorry, I have not called you back. I have been swamped and I will try to reach you this weekend and we cannot talk about a run to the beach for wood. Thanks, Carl

simple yet very nice. This is the kind of project I like. Great job Carl.

Lovely work! That's a great tip about the pencil lines because I was trying to cut a pendant on a sliding chuck and couldn't see it so made a real mess. I'll make a jig like yours because the time invested would be quickly saved. Best Wishes, Brendan.

Thank you,

Very nice pendant, it's a pity it will lose its colour over time. I made one last week with double sided tape and it's difficult to get the sticky tape off the pendant. Thanks James

Thanks you,

Thanks Tom, I trying to remember but some times forget.

As always,nice work. I like the jig you made to turn the pendant. I'm still learning what the different tools are used for so thanks telling us which ones you use. Also how to use them. I need that. Tom

Thank you

Another great video and turning Carl! I REALLY enjoy your videos and projects...gives me inspiration to try something new and different... Keep up the great work and safe turning to you!

Brilliant yet again Carl, thanks for the inspiration. Have you made a video on how to make the jig used in the video? Cheers, Andy.

Hello Carl, I was just wondering where you think the best place to find purpleheart wod would be! PLEASE REPLY! THANKS!

I have used this method for 8+ years & the same saw blade. I started using this method when I made a box & didn't want to sacrificy any wood. I have never had it catch, I simply place the blade on & apply light pressure & slowly move back & forth so as not over heat. I do use a parting tool as well, but with releaf cuts, it takes out alot of material & sometimes I don't want to waste the material. If there is anything in the video you are not comfortable with, please do not attempt it. Carl

good job from France

Thank you Georges!

You might want to use a Big Fat Gold chain for it. Nice.

I used salad bowl oil to finish it.

I found your videos when a friend recommended I look into using purple heart (I use antlers, and one is a bit purple!) and I have a question about the sanding you did. What grit is it and what is in that can that you are dabbing the sand paper into?

Carl, Like you,I use a hack saw and have never had a problem. Actually got the idea from watching one of your videos. I use to use a flush trim saw, but found it flimsy.

It was about 2 1/4"

What size is the piece

Great Video Carl.... this is my next week end project :~)

@tempoxx LOL, the type of wood is called purple heart!!

Hi Chris, I would try "Woodcraft".com

You use a wet sandpaper. What product?

Hey Jeff, Sure here's my email, jacobson68@yahoo.com Please just remind me...I get quite a few a day :)

@haydenHD Can you explain that to me in a little more detail, please?

Two things: one, you should totally be wearing gloves when carving the wood- my sources say the sawdust can irritate skin. Two, where can I buy a small amount of Purple Heart wood? I have a jewelry project in mind.

HauntedShadowsLegacy Wearing gloves while working on the lathe is extremely unsafe! You might try Woodcraft.

There is a certain amount of danger involved in everything, "safe turning" included. It's about risk vs reward. The risk from using a hacksaw is minimal at best. Not for nothing, but it's people like you that discourage me from making a video.

Super, super dangerous using a hacksaw on a spinning lathe, if that blade snaps you could lose an eye , finger or have a a serious laceration, I would recommend all viewers DO NOT USE THIS METHOD!!!!, that is what parting tools are for.
