Woodturning: My First Christmas Ornament! (2019)
Ойын-сауық
A huge THANK YOU to all my subsribers and viewers! This is my 12th filmed project, and I finally got around to making something Christmas related! This is my first Christmas ornament, and I'm pretty happy with it! Let me know what you think!
I want to thank Frogblanks.com for sending me these samples! I was very impressed with the quality of the pieces, the vivid colors, and the workability. Since these are laminated veneer sheets, you'll find that tools dull fairly quickly, similar to turning exotic wood species with high silica content. However, these blanks have potential for a natural high polish without adding any finishing polish. Altogether, I am very impressed with these blanks, and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone interested in engineered wood.
I really like how this ornament design turned out, since the ribbon is held with a knot at the bottom of the hole to keep the snowman centered and free floating. The ribbon itself is adjustable in the hole and can be twisted to accommodate any hanging angle. I did have trouble installing the eyelit in the top hat. Given the hardness of the katalox, I had to drill a 1/16 inch hole in the hat and then CA glue the eyelit in order to get it to work, but it turned out ok in the end. Let me know what you think!
I really appreciate all of the comments and feedback. I am always willing to learn. I'm also trying to become more efficient with my finishing techniques. If you'd like to help me out, feel free to comment and let me know how I'm doing! Also, let me know what you'd like me to make next!

Thanks Jeff! The tape is purely to prevent the two pieces from flying apart. To some degree this was superfluous given the even contact from the steb center and the tail stock. It was a safety precaution at least...
I love it!

Your 1st video for me to see - totally impressed by not only your skill & techniques, but also by your video production, topped off by the smooth soundtrack which completed the experience. Have not started turning yet (tho I did a vase form in wood about 50 years ago to mold a copper spinning projuct), I have been learning via these many videos. As a retired jeweler/metalsmith, thought I only wanted to now do larger pieces - bowls, etc., but this may draw me back to smaller sculptural pieces, especially for Christmas. Many Blessings.
Well done, David. I love everything about this channel.

Very cool, never tried an inside out with only 2 pieces, going to definitely have to give this a try. I think I have some laminate pieces in reds that would look great. Thanks for sharing.
As always with your videos, I am transported and transfixed. Perfectly suited music. Great angles for your recording and no missed steps that I could see. A delightful creation says it all. Arty and still practical. Merry Christmas sir. 👍🤗🎄🎅🎄🤗👍

This was a beautiful turning. one of the things I learned from another turner is when using the Yorkshire grit is to use the sanding sealer after the Yorkshire grit . This helps on the overall shine. Just thought I'd let you know. Have a wonderful new year.
@DavidAdamsen
4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Richard for your comment and feedback! I haven’t heard of sanding sealer being used after sanding grit. In my mind the sanding sealer makes the grain stiff enough to smooth evenly and then a wax or shine process begins. I guess the possibilities are endless though...
