    Dude thank you so much for putting the name of each tool on the screen as you use it, I wish more woodturners would do this, makes it so much easier for a viewer to know what's happening! Great vid!

    ❤Nice tips thank you we just mounted a 180grit ceramic grinding wheel on our 2800 rpm single fase bench grinder and feels that it rotate a bit to fast question: do you use some kind off speed control on your grinder ❓

    Hopefully you’ll see this- I’m a funeral director in the US (Florida) and one of our most popular cremation urns was nearly identical to the vase, I’ve always been pretty crafty, so I’ve bought a laithe and making the vase/hollowing it out is working well- but I just can’t grasp the concept of making a lid for it? Is there any tips you’d have?

  • @MikeWaldt
    @MikeWaldt3 күн бұрын

    Hi Tyler, it's a matter of deciding on a design and measuring as accurate as possibke to get a snug fit. There is also the option of threading the body and lid. Lots of videos on turning urns on the Tube too. Cheers. Mike

    It's coming along quite well. A question for you to ponder... Do you prefer a Forstner bit or the Auger bit for bulk removal? I have never tried the Auger but do use them in my general wood working. Maybe a topic for a short video.

  • @MikeWaldt
    @MikeWaldt25 күн бұрын

    I like the Auger as its quick, and as I haven't hollowed for a while the smaller depth hole means I have more practice 🙂. However I do also use my large forstners too.
