Yes, and don’t put your fingers inside the bowl

I know the problem. I tried to turn a huge vase from a cherry log... it ended up as a honey dipper. My wife asked if I could turn a large platter for Christmas treats... another honey dipper. Last month I started work on an oak desk... fortunately, it was for a friend who loves honey so it wasn't a total failure. By the way, does anyone need a honey dipper? Give me a call. I've got a few.

As someone interested in starting Turning I was wondering why you would turn a toothpick from a log... seemed like a massive waste when I first watched this however it makes sense if the wood is cracked etc!!

Catch your glove and your widow gets to turn off the lathe. At least it would be quick.

That is true but the tool rest ur hands should be on the opposite side of your work and chances are nothing will happen but it is still a good rule of thumb

It's not about getting caught by the stock it's about getting caught in ribbons of metal shavings. You'll know that not all metals come off as pieces on a lathe, some metals create ribbons that are sharp as razors just as in drilling metals. Wood will always come off the same in a lathe no matter weather hard or soft wood. But you're right as far as working with metals in lathing, drilling etc, you don't wear gloves, long sleeve shirts unbuttoned or jewelery cause you can lose fingers or even limbs that way.

That came out just beautiful. And it made me think of two artforms, one horizontal and one vertical, that are remarkably similar: I'll bet woodturners make GREAT potters.

Beautiful Harry, and practical! Love the different woods.

As a guy who's been turning for over a decade, all I can say is -- Wow.

I absolutely love it when folks listen to the wood. It will always tell you what it wants to be.

That turned out quite beautiful. I cant wait to get my wood shop rebuilt and get my lathe going. The lathe is my favorite tool of them all.

Very cool. I love the way the lid holds onto the tapered handle.

If I had the tools I would be playing with wood all the time, I love the smell! And I love wood made into artful objects. Just beautiful Harry!

The smell yes but be very careful with some species of wood, you can develop a sensitivity to it so always use dust protection. Not those paper masks a good one like a respirator.

I can see what you mean by unexpected. You did well to salvage anything! At one point I thought you were going to have to turn away the whole log. But in the end you made excellent use of a piece of a species which is normally chipped or burnt. Credit to you as always for finding beauty and purpose in your chosen material. I love this channel.

What a beautiful piece of wood for the honey pot and lid! Good job on the dipper. That turned out really pretty

New viewer here. Never created anything on a lathe before. It is so mesmerizing. The cup sounded so thin when you put it down. Beautiful

Hello and good evening. If you want to have fun with your fingers for a long time you shouldnt wear gloves while you are doing such a work.

Gotta show some respect to the woodworkers. It's a blend of science and art and the world's richer for it.

The sign of a true professional is when they hit a problem then work zround the problem but still make something amazingly beautiful

That's a nice piece! Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful and functional. A work of art.

This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks goodness for your explanation. I was thinking you could have started with a thinner piece of material. I enjoy these videos because I sell the cutters, milling and turning tools, but I don't get to see them at work.

Very inventive project considering it was going to be a Christmas tree 🤔. I love the walnut.

Beautiful piece of art.

Well done ! Especially the lead up to the culmination ! Thanks

Thank you. I've heard chest sets are started on the lath. They just need some shaping up later.

Nice honey jar. I really like it

Very nice work. I like how you left the forstner bit in chuck inside the pot for stability. Will remember this technique for future projects. Just subscribed.... Thanks for sharing

Super classy!! I particularly like the lighter coloured wood used as contrast for the finial. I’m sure the satisfaction of a beautiful piece, only makes the honey held within, that much sweeter!!! Great work!!! 😃👍🐝🍯

I don’t think people realize the years of experienced skill you used to create this.

I followed your work with great interest because I love these tutorials... but what makes me smile (if you allow me) is that you took a nice tree trunk to make a small honey tool... something comes to mind movie where someone like you had taken a huge tree trunk to make a single toothpick. please smile and don't be offended because I admire your work and truly appreciate it

I've recently used my spruce christmas trees from the last two years to make a set of tree decorations, didn't find them too fuzzy to work with. Perhaps using a sharp bowl gouge or skew would have helped. Carbide tips will always cause a lot of fuzz on softwoods. Also, not sure I'd use any of the christmas tree species for honey... their sap can stay sappy for years. :| Lovely looking pot though!

I absolutely love it! This is by far one of your best pieces! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Now that's a real honey pot. 🍯 Looks pretty sweet too.

Very clever idea with the lid! Merry Christmas!

Oh my nice job

BEAUTIFUL!!

OH YES, I LOVE FRESH HONEY MIXED WITH A RANGE OF WOODWORKING CHEMICALS, GLUES AND VARNISHES.... I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE 'TASTE' .... AWESOME JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband made furniture.and I helped.....we used a template to make table legs..chair spindles etc. so all would be alike..goggles are a must and always make sure to use dried wood.. use a light touch...my young sons made small projects which I still have today..

Really beautiful!!
