This channel features woodturning tools I invented for removing the tenons on the forms I make. After losing 1 in 3 forms to nub breakage due to the old wood I use, and having a donut chuck collapse and cause an injury, I invented the Tail Stock Steady featured in most of these videos. Besides it being used for keeping the forms between centers during the tenon removal stage, it has allowed me to dress up the bottoms of all forms that come off my lathe. The first couple days after I made my first prototype I lost 3 pieces, but after that, it's been 100% success with over 300 pieces finished.
The other tool featured is my Chuck Plate designed in August, 2010. Simple plate with a tenon that is used in a chuck. It has 13 machined set screws that allow adjustment to secure odd shaped pieces for rough shaping and setting up a tenon to mount into a chuck. There is no need to have flat pieces as it's not necessary with the protruding screws.

@@Nubsnstubs great, ty and better late then never :)
Like you dowel rig and enjoyed your video. Thanks for putting this together and explaining everything so well.
Great Video! Really like the money saving hand drying idea.
Oh man I want one of those jigs. I have no metal turning equipment...
Thanks grandpa.
I'm not a 'elf'n'safety fan but some of those rest adjustments were "interesting"!
Peter, what rest adjustments are you talking about. It's been over 4 years since I did this, and haven't watched the vid to understand what your comment is about.
Thanks for sharing. I like your jig. will be making one . looks like a time saver making mills.
Nice idea! Thank you
Thanks for the tip . You are so funny 😂
Good demonstration Jerry
What is that tool called? The one that looks like a pencil sharpener……
Chris, it is a dowel making tool by Veritas. I made the post and slide that fits on the ways with the dowel maker attached at center. The head where the wood goes into is the Veritas Dowel Maker the you can purchase from the following link. www.leevalley.com/en-us/tools/brand/veritas This tool is designed to use with an electric drill, but I designed it to use on my lathe. ........... Jerry
It doesn't work for black walnut stains. What does?
thank you for this great tip, cleaned my hands and i’ll remember tip for the rest of my life. i can tell you’re a great dad 👍
Clicked like the moment you dried your hands on your shirt 😂 thank you, it helped a lot.
Thanks, mimithefifi. As I said, that's what shirts are for. Actually, I normally use a towel, butt it was behind me and I didn't see it. Thanks again....... Jerry (in Tucson)
Just use super glue! It's a Magee thing lol
Watch out for the ponytail. When it wraps around your turning you will be in pain.
yeah, that was what I noticed, too. Getting hair caught in a lathe can be deadly, especially on larger lathes and metal lathes. More horsepower or geard down more. But turning your back on the equipment when you have a ponytail is risky; tuck it into your shirt at least. And hair gets closer to machinery than you think it will. Also, long sleeves, watches, jewelry, drawstrings can get caught. Even pockets if you get too close (someone leaned over near the back end of the headstock). . And 3/4/6 jaw chucks and lathe dogs are really good and grabbing things. Sandpaper also can wind around the work and pull you in.
Pura mierda.
Wanna be a wood worker....well ignore the missing fingers. Let's talk about getting staind off your hands. Informative tho
Tyler, I could have made comments about my missing fingers, but I didn't want to gross you out. Now, if I was talking about why I lost them, all I can say is, If you like your fingers, DO NOT GET DISTRACTED. KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON THE JOB AT HAND.
Thanks!
Thanks. Have you subscribed to my channel. If you have, thanks again, if not please do. .............. Jerry www.woodturnerstools.com
Your video helped me a lot! Thanks.
Great video funny how you know when there going fly off
Nooooooooooooo
Oohhh Yesssss, it happened. If you go to the Explosion video, then your comment would be more appropriate there. Thanks for commenting, and please subscribe. I'll be putting a lot more videos on my channel. Stay turned....... Jerry (in Tucson)
I thought you were "only" going to remove the hump from the inside...? "We" know how to cauterize.......
That was my plan, Kevin. Check out the next video. Same piece of Cholla, but hours apart....
Glad no blood was shed!
Thanks, Gerry. I'm glad too. One thing to note is when you get about 3/16" thick on a piece of Cholla, it's pretty much weightless. The piece still in the chuck is where most of the weight is. I'm glad it stayed in. ........... Jerry
Why do people do these cores? I've never seen anyone make anything out of one.
Not making cores just to make cores. The blades were what the ancient peoples were getting from the cores. Instead of making one biface blade from the rock that was the core, I could make over 100 arrowheads, and several very sharp blades pulled from that core..
Zoes Dada also these blades can be used in things such as uniface arrows, macahuitl swords and simple scrapers
The jack is a good idea. But what a struggle you went through! I mount a face plate, drilling or chiseling if necessary to get it squared. Easier to slip it on to the head stock while jacked up, than trying to line up the center and screw in while on the jack. Your chuck place could be mounted first, then put in the chuck while on the jack.
Thanks for your reply, Valerie. What I should have done at the beginning in setting up for mounting was drill a hole at centers on each log. Then I should have unscrewed the center screw on the Chuck Plate, and bring out the center point on the live center to fit in the hole on the log. Once each end had a point into the holes one each end, just tighten the tailstock, and I would have been done... When I'm not explaining how to do something with my tools, I'm much faster than what the video portrayed. I made the jack a coup[le years ago, and certainly didn't have the issues I had in this video. Thanks for watching this video. Subscribe to my channel if you like.......... Jerry
Nubsnstubs Already a subscriber.
Jerry......some of us are too far away to take you to the E.R. in any convenient way...may want to learn how to cauterize yourself ! Just think....NEW SKILLS ! ! !
Thanks ole buddy. I'll keep that in mind next time I lose something............ Thanks for watching....... Jerry
I have some 100 year old juniper fence posts which are extremely gnarly. So much so that it's difficult to get large pieces out of it. I have spent the last week researching the best epoxy to use for deep voids.The are all too time consuming requiring multiple pours. Your solution is so obvious. I plan to carve pieces of either juniper or a contrasting wood and plug the voids making them smaller and using CA and ground coffee or small amounts of epoxy to fill around the plugs. Thanks for turning on the light bulb.
Interesting breeding tool Jerry! Finally getting around to watching 😁
Hey Lou, how you doin', Buddy..My breeding tool is kept away in a safe place, but my beading tool is open for public viewing.. I posted a video years ago on woodbarter when I first got my carbide version of it, or it's here on My Channel. You will have to look for it.. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
What RIck said! Love that Easy Wood Tools detailer but probably would have used their "finisher" for that application.
That tailstock holder is a great idea!
Thanks Rick. The TSS is my invention. It was invented in 2012, got the official Patent issued in 2016, and have a bunch on hand. I've done over 500 pieces so far, and lost only three in the first week of testing my prototype back in 2012.
Do you sell the TSS? I’m interested.
Yep, sure do. I sell them through my website www.woodturnerstools.com. You might be able to find my site listed in some of the other videos also. ............ Jerry
Can we make dinning chairs with mulberry wood
Nice use of the Easy Wood Hollower, too!
I am a fairly accomplished turner and I have just never thought of this. I use a lot of dried coffee grounds for black bark inclusions. I will surely use this technique. I love the natural results this will give. Thanks your efforts here
Thanks, ken. I just wish my videos weren't so long winded....... I've also been using dowels to span cracks lately, and have had pretty good success. There might be a video in my channel, but not sure. There will be one pretty soon, though............ ... Jerry
Jerry...how did the audio go out of sync? Or is it my computer?
Just out of curiosity,what would you charge for an iron wood pool cue? THANK YOU
Andrew, send me your contact info, and I need specifics. Size, length, weight. [email protected] is my email. ............ Jerry
Nubsnstubs sorry busy week. Ill get that too you as soon as i can.
Hey there, did you ever get my email?
Hello Nubsnstubs. I have not even finished the video yet but I can see for you to finish the dowel just turn it around in the chuck and leave the cutter on the dowel loose. Then tighten the chuck on the already turned end and pull the cutter away from the head stock finishing the turning on the dowel. Or you can turn the dowel around and cut the same way you do to start. Hope that helps. I got to get one of these.
Man, don't you just hate when that happens? I guess you just have to enjoy the journey, rather than the destination.
Great work! What size of Oneway banjo do you have on this lathe? (16 inch or 20 inch?)
Chris, I can't say as it came with the Powermatic when I got it used. The numbers on the side are 2048, but it must be obsolete as Oneway doesn't recognize it on their parts page. The height from the ways to the top of the post hole is 7 5/16 ". About 6 months after I got this lathe, I saw a video by a guy named Carl, can't remember the last name, but he highly recommended getting a Oneway banjo for any lathe you have. He also had a Powermatic using a Oneway banjo. It's a well engineered banjo, and well worth the price....... Thanks for watching my video. ............. Jerry
Jerry. Bruh. You're such a genius at figuring things out, inventing things, whatnot. How can you be such a putz about the Allen wrench? Hello. Bolt cutter + vise + visegrips = shorter Allen wrench. Maybe even a small T-handle, instead of bending it over after cutting it. All due respect. Really. You're an inspiration to me. I'm thinking about procuring one of your faceplates, and, mebbees, one of your skateboard wheel dealies. Trouble with that is that my old Shopsmith has all its movement in the headstock.
I hear you, Mark. And a sincere thanks for the kind words. My story and I'm gonna stick to it; I just got frustrated by how my suppliers work here in Tucson. Way back as far as 1978, when I first started my woodworking business, when ever I wanted something like a brad point drill bit, I'd drive out to the hardware store that specialized in providing these tools. When I told them what I needed, they would look in the book, (well before computers), and the most common response was, "We just sold the last one yesterday." Even the most common things were not available. Always had to order the parts/tools and have to wait a couple weeks, plus pay the cost of shipping for the "special order". Today, with all the computers available, it's the same thing. I go into the supplier, (I'm not talking Ace, Lowery's, H.D, or Loews), but a real industrial supplier and they have a few, but can't get anymore from "their" supplier. The screws on the Chuck Plate is a good example. I have to buy them, and then turn the points. Takes a bit of time, but turning points on 1300 1/4" diameter screws is time consuming and extremely boring. Every time I want something, it seems I have to make it or modify an existing tool. It frustrates me some, but common sense dictates I overcome my current issue..... Now, if I can get more long Allen wrenches, what I will do is heat them just below the bend and bend it to create a better handle much better than the 90 degree bend supplied. Gonna be in SoCal in November. Looking forward to a visit. .
...actually amazed that you haven't gotten your earpiece wrapped up in the turning.....yet........
Whitefolks, I was totally aware where that cord was at all times 'cept when I caught in it my banjo handle..... Yo buddy, Jerry
...remember jerry.....i'm too far away to take you to the hospital for the NEXT time.....kev
Thumped you pretty good but it works!
well......jerry......you could alway use the table saw....!
Is that you, Whitefolks???????
of course.....who else would know your proclivities that got you your screen name...! HA !
Sounds like you have some wind in Tucson today.
Put a strobe on it Jerry.
Hey jerry just want let you know your bowl looks great and where do you get your CA blue from thanks Mark
Jerry, very nice demonstration of the use of your Chuck Plate. I'll send you a photo of one of my uses of your Chuck Plate.
this video is of a piece of wood I turned a year ago or longer. I don't know why it didn't fit my chuck, but I'm demoing how I do this. It's definately different. After fitting the tenon, I go about reshaping the OD, and put a bead on the neck and body make that transition. If you like what you witnessed, please comment. If you hated it, please comment also. ...... Nubs
Hey , thanks Mad. I tried flint, and I can only make 2" long and 1/4" wide flakes. Pretty bad, but that's the way the flint flakes release. I'm not an expert by any means, just a lazy person looking for short cuts in making blades from cores...... The only times I've cut myself is when the platform gives before I'm ready, but you already know that flintknapping is a blood sport.... Give your professor my name, and I'll see what I can do....Jerry
You are really really good with that technique. Very interesting... Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!
