Beer tap handles

Thanks for keeping some finished ones in view of the camera while you were turning. It is helpful for me to see the finished item and then see how you approach each step. Another excellent video. Thanks.

Very cool. Great stamp handles.

Really nice production video. Thank you for sharing.

Well there Tom , subscribe to your channel last night - fine job you are doing - I like the way you show every one what an how you turn . Here in West Virginia at one time you could sell a lot of hand made things, it’s all most come to a full stop - I am a long time wood turner - changed an became a cooper, buckets,beer stines an all sizes of wash tubs - people just don’t buy the stuff anymore-also had to raise the price to pay for the wood - a board pine 8’ x 10” x 3/4 “ is now $ 45.00 -if you go to craft shows an sell - prices for a spot is so high -can’t make a profit to buy the wood an rent a spot to sell -watching you turn cool an good luck

Stoppers for your magnum champagne bottles 😆

I was getting a face full of shavings this morning and used my hand to block them the way you showed on video. It worked perfectly. Your instruction is full of little asides and comments that are SO helpful. Thank you!

My first thought upon seeing the thumbnail was: Stamp handles! But while watching the video I was thinking, no way that stamp handles are so big! It seems they are... :)

Would never have guessed that......but I can't imagine working in the shop without music playing also. 🎵🎶

I guessed wrong! I once made similar shaped, but much smaller items for lamp designer who used them to hold the lamp shade to the lamp bridle. I really enjoyed this video. The rhythm of repetitive work is very relaxing... especially when there is music playing in the background. As I have told you before, watching you turn as a production turner is truly poetry in motion!

Guessed wrong, I thought they were ornate bungs for wine or sherry barrels maybe for a tourist area. Once made 40 similar ones, far less ornate though, for olive brining barrels. Nice skew work too, glad you managed to find the time to make the video.

Here's my initial guesses in order: front knob for a hand plane, bottle stopper for a wine bottle, handle for a birdcage awl

Wine stoppers but it's wood so it may be for the barrels for plugs for future testing

These look like wine stoppers for large decanters?

My mom had food strainer an one of these wooden pieces to turn around inside strainer to push remaining food pulp through strainer holes.

I was thinking something goofy like a shifter know for manual transmission, but then I thought a tap handle for a bar. That would make more sense. I was wrong both times.

I make something similar for the deck drains on our local ferry that get these as a plug for said drains when fuelling the ship. In my case there is a hole bored the length for a small retaining rope that fixes to a retaining ring above the drain. The ring is sized to hold the plug when not in use.

Nice video. I was impressed with your eye in determining the roundness of the ball and the overall diameter of the stems. I noticed that you have a curved grind on your skew chisel. Mine came with a straight diagonal bevel edge. What kind of grinding wheel and grit do you use to sharpen your chisels? It is impressive to see your polished surfaces on your finished pieces. Thank you for making videos to help out us novices.

I have a cheap chinese lathe,( 1 " square tubing frame, 4 speeds) that has very little rigidity. Would it be possible for me to do work like you do with such a poor machine? I was goung to mount a circular saw to it, and use a tracer mechanism. I dont want to invest in lathe tools and all that constant sharpening, id rather scrape everything with carbide inserts, that i could make myself. At 70 years old, my hand strength is not half what it was. Thank you for your time.

My husband upgraded my lathe for my 80th birthday and I’ve been using the ‘beast’ as my friend calls it for over 2 years. I have multiple physical problems but the hour or two spent most days at my lathe are fun. Don’t let a few years and a little weakness stand in your way. 😊 If you really need to cut every corner, those carbide bits can be sharpened a bit by laying them flat and rubbing them on a diamond hone.

@DancingFox6

P.S. my first lathe could only change speeds by shifting belt and had no reverse. I’m on my 3rd now. I used to have to buy wood to turn but once people find out you’re a wooodturner they bring you all sorts of wood to turn.

Well, ofcourse you can use that lathe and tools, nothing wrong with it as long as you use it safely, but be aware of that better more stable lathe will be more Pleasureble to use, also using tradicional tools will help you be more efficient with less effort,once you learn how to use it... Again, nothing wrong using your chinese lathe, but I think very soon you'll out grown it...🤗
