Woodturning - Watch Me Make This 8 Ball!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Video number 1 of my Epic Summer playlist. Let me know if you are excited for the other videos to come!
In this video I make an 8 ball using American Walnut, Holly, and African blackwood. It was surprisingly a lot more difficult than expected, and took a lot of measuring and double checking to make sure the 8 was in the correct place.
I'm really please with how it turned out. Its been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with Danish oil. I may go back and put a coat of wax on it at some point, but I'm not sure how I will achieve my normal mirror finish as the wood pieces used to hold it kept making the wood.
Let me know what you think, and if I should try it on a larger scale next time.

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

@@HarrySmithWoodturning I apprecuate you gave the wood types but I wish we learned how you came to the measurements so we could do our own math with the stock we have. I guess I am asking for technique here. Your turning is very fine and it is evident that you must have clear wood with no blemishes or other voids.

ARE YOU AWARE NO ONE CAN SAVE THIS VIDEO? I have no idea why, but setting your video or channel to "Content created for kids" bars anyone, even adults, from saving it to their favorites list or watch later list. I'd love to save this for later because of some of the techniques and I cant. Any video or channel that uses the "created for kids" setting is unusable for a lot of us unless we want to manually book mark it in a separate place not using KZread's tools, and lets face it, we're just going to go to another similar channel.
