I like to make stuff, mostly on the lathe and with resin. It's a hobby that brings me so much joy I wanted to start sharing with everyone. I am one of the date night pen turning instructors at The Workshop, LLC in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I am not sponsored by any of the brands I use, they are all just products I picked up along the way and I liked the price point or the product itself. If you like what you see please subscribe, hit the bell, comment, and share. You can also find me on Instagram @chrisgiftshop2018. Thanks for stopping by and happy turning!

Walnut Bowl Fix or Walnut Cigar Ashtray
I was taught never wear gloves turning on a lathe!
You are correct. You shouldn't wear gloves. I do, but it isn't something you should do.
Hello, I really admire your work. The talented craftsmanship has created a beautiful product. Please tell me what wood it is. Thank you. @davidquang
Thank you. The wood is Sapele.
New starter lathe .know very little/have lathe without chuck. I can buy a chuck but need to know if it is what I need .? Help ?
Like many tool these days, it wouldn't surprise me if these Bauer chucks were made in the same factory as some of the bigger named brands' chucks. They seem to be quality chucks and should last, so I see no need to replace them. If anything, use the low price and HF's sales to buy several to keep various size jaw sets on them because it does get old taking jaws off and pitting others on for projects.
@fretless05 oh I have seen many companies using the same factories to make different products for different companies. My old HF lathe is the exact model as one of Grizzly's lathes only difference is the name on it.
Nice looking pen. I was worried that the CA would fix the bushings to the blank, but they look to have come out just fine. I assume you wanted to moss to show more. 2 ideas for you. 1. Don’t use such solid colors. Make your resin more translucent. 2. Use more moss. In fact, I would suggest mixing the moss/resin before you put it into the mold. Should probably seem more like moss coated resin than resin with some moss. Just something to think about. Nicely done.
@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound thank you. Yea with the moss I'd hoped it would show like cactus does. If I do this again maybe I'll only do a single pen blank and not a block. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Chris i like the pen but i do agree about the spanish moss i dont like it but anyway u take care of yourself ok? Just remember, God loves u, God bless. Chris W
@chriswalters5936 thank you. I thought the Spanish Moss would show up like cactus does in a pen blank. The moss could have still floated too. I'll have to turn another one at some point to see if there was a difference or if it has the same effect.
But thanks for watching and commenting
@@chrisgiftshop3127 right but i love the glow in the dark effect though. Chris W
Screw chuck was that odd looking screw with round end on it. The round end gets held in the 4 jaw chuck. Then the wood blank with appropriate hole in it will get screwed onto and held by the threaded end of the screw chuck
Yea I'm just used to having one I can screw into the blank and then grab with the Chuck.
Wow! How long have you been turning!
Record Power and Nova jaws are compatible
@@darrellreed7044 I've been turning since 2018.
More understanding of all the parts
@patricksanchez3917 not sure if you're saying you understand better or you asking for more details.
bought a qt. of tried and true every pcs i make comes out same color. new at turning at like 4months found a small lathe have a pile of wood. i want to get new colors like you did
Cheapest I've found is the Rit. I watched a few others use it and liked the result on the ash. Need to try it on other woods now. Tried unicorn spit and wasn't as impressed, but may try watering it down some and see how that works. Good luck with the woodturning. It gets addictive.
the dye was that from like Walmart dye for laundry?
Yea I got mine from Micheal's, but the same stuff.
The coloring looks pretty good. The bowl as a whole is very nice. I’ve used a couple cans of that Krylon finish and do not like it. I would suggest allowing the embellishing wax to dry over night then applying your high gloss wax over it. That tool you showed and called your nobly bowl gouge I’m not so sure it’s not actually a spindle gouge. The square nose you have on it is not a good thing either. Maybe after my car is repaired we can arrange a day or 2 for me to come over and help you out a bit. Your on a good path. I just think you need some hands on coaching. We can talk about it in a few weeks after the car is fixed.
Doug thank you. I always appreciate your advice. My shop/garage is a mess at the moment as I am trying to focus on organizing it around work and my videos so maybe down the road we can work something out. Would be cool to meet you either way. As for the chisel, I only called it a bowl gouge because when I bought the set it came in that's what they had labeler it. I need to resharpen some of my tools so last time I tried sharpening it I may have goofed it up some and ended up with a square end. I think giving the wax more time to dry may have been a better way to go as well. I did like that high gloss look the clear coat gave it, maybe I can find something other than krylon next time that will work well. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciate your feedback.
Nice bowl. Just a tip. Don't spin your bowl and spray. Fast dry finishes don't like that. Spray from the foot to the top edge of the bowl then rotate by hand. Over lap as you go. End up with much better results.
Thank you! I'll have to try that. Just so used to having it spin due to runs and drips didn't think there would be much of a difference. Thanks again!
Hey Chris, that is a very nice bowl and a great finish
Thank you. I'm wanting to do a couple more, just have to get more ash (I only had 2 blanks and only have 1 left). I also need to figure out a better finish, thinking a brush on but after I carve out the inside this time 😄
I've been using one for several months. No complaints so far.
I'm thinking about getting another one now.
I would suggest you put a not on it stating what the problem is and sticking it on a shelf for a while. It may resolve itself with time. Good for you attempting the experiment. You might want to try it again with some clear resin to make sure it wasn’t the tinting agents that caused the issue.
Thanks Doug! I already poured a new block, did not use the same colors. After talking to some people locally, I'm wondering if I didn't mix it right, since I was pouring multiple colors. I've sat this outside in the sun hoping the heat will "help" get the rest of the uncured resin out. If I do a bowl next I may do the clear with it. I think that might be a nice effect.
HF has really stepped up their woodturning game. The Bauer lathe is awesome for the price, the chuck is great quality, and the new chisels are as good as Benjamin's Best. Well done review! It's great to know that RP jaws can fit the Bauer body... What series RP chuck did they come from?
I want to say the 3 or 4. I have a 2 (smaller) but didn't think to try those and the Chuck body was so much smaller.
Ted Barrus?
went to hf Sunday bought my first lathe tools i picked the Bauer 8 pcs set .89.00 looked nicer than the other 2 sets they were small steel nice handles 39.00 and 49.00 icut a small bowl out with the set on my grizzly 12x 36 i just got i was happy with the Bauer set cant find anyone that doing reviews on the set. do you have that set?
Didn't even know Bauer was making the tool sets. I'm still using the other brand HF sells that I got in 2018 and slowly upgrading those. May have to look into that set and do a review on them. Thanks for the heads up and be on the lookout for a review!
Chris nice pen my friend, sorry that the cap half of the pen broke but glad u got it fixed and i finally found your blank u gave me ha! take care of yourself ok? just remember, God loves u, God bless. Chris W
Chris I think the blank breaking was due to the tool I was using and how aggressive I went with it. When I glued it back together and used a different tool things went so much better. Looking forward to seeing your video now.
@@chrisgiftshop3127 i am getting close to getting it prepped, do u know what type of resin u used for my blank so i can mention it in my video? Chris W
@@chriswalters5936 I think I used Liquid Diamond.
Chris’ blanks made for a good looking pen.
I was questionable due to the area with no pigment. He mentioned that when he sent it too. But yes over all I think it made for a gorgeous pen.
I can maybe even make a blank to swap. Let’s talk
Send me a message on FB or IG.
I hear ya, Man! I am in the SAME BOAT, different zip code.
I didn't realize how much wood and stuff I had accumulated over the years. And since it's also the garage, it's regular storage too. Finally getting some progress though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Can you share the link to Monster Trunk?
It's in the description. Right now he uses his Facebook page.
I think there is enough resin there to do something other than a slim.
Not sure but we will see.
i hope you can use them glad u finally got it take care Chris ok brother? just remember, God loves u, God bless. Chris W
I'm going to have to figure out what I want to do with them. Thanks again and looking forward to some new woodturning videos from you.
@@chrisgiftshop3127 i hope u can man if i had a keychain kit i would send that to u for the smaller blank. Chris
Take your time drilling and turning.
Will do.
Be careful now !!! Black locust is very poisonous
Sorry I am just seeing this. I'm not turning a lot of Black Locust at the moment. Trying to clean up the shop and get my air filtration up so I'm not having to worry as much about that. Thank you for the heads up though. Not many know the dangers of working with some materials.
I bought one as a back up chuck. I found that the holes do not line up with any of my chuck jaws from another standard chuck (not sure why they are different) Also the jaw that comes with it is smooth, no dovetail grip on inside and it also does not hold the lathe screw well in the middle. I tried to use the worm screw and it kept sliding back into the chuck when I was trying to push on the wood. Kind of mostly useless except for a recess tenon.
Sorry, you got a dud mine even in the. Review I said I didn't like the design of the worm screw. I didn't have any other issues other than the worm screw. Mine seemed to work fine. I was able to line it up with some record power jaws. As well as some Nova jaws. And neither one of the jaws that came with it. Have I had any real issues with as of right now? I also got mine as a backup however. Again, the design has changed since I bought mine. I noticed that the adapter screw. That was originally pictured when I bought. Mine is no longer pictured on the website. So you may have got an older model. However, if I had such issues that you were having, I probably would have exchanged it or just returned it instead of trying to make it work
Good job of recovering yourself. Did you take the time to see why you tossed the blank? Sounded like you broke something as well. Good job of getting it completed. Very nice pendant and necklace.
Nothing broke this time lol. I need to go back, but thinking my chisel caught. Wait I think I was parting the piece when it flew off. I think I just put to much pressure. I'll have to go back and look. Thanks for watching and commenting. Means a lor.
As I lifted up on my parting tool I put too much pressure into it. I came up and saw the wood lift with ir.
I’ve made some lanturns lots of fun
I enjoyed it. Worth having a few on hand.
Hey Chris. If you don’t want the world to see this post, feel free to delete it. I see in the video a few things that contributed and caused this catastrophe. 1. For half to fly up and out through the window, you were turning entirely too fast. 2. The tool you were using is a spindle gouge. This particular style spindle gouge has 2 issues when turning bowls. First, the tang, where the blade goes into the handle, is a simple flat piece instead of a round bar. It is a weekends that has caused breakage of tools, bowls, body when they break. Second, the outer edge of the wing sticks out abruptly making it easier to get a catch. 3. You were cutting “up hill” or against the grain. You are cutting into unsupported end grain which is easier to catch. When you watch the replay of that moment you can clearly see that indeed you had a catch with the edge of the spindle gouge as you were cutting toward the rim at high speed. I am not the final authority on much of anything. But I have learned a few things over the last 25+ years of turning and learning. I am happy to help any way you’d like my help. BTW, you had a very nice bowl going.
I appreciate any all constructive criticism. I figured I had a catch. I need a bigger bowl gouge I have a small 1/4 inch and I guess I'm kinda scared to use it because of how small it is. I have other rouges not as big or wide as this one and I just need to sharpen those a little better too. As for turning too fast when I turn something to slow I end up with small holes. I always call them tear outs. I told myself to stop when I flipped it and I thought I can push through and finish it. I guess had I stopped I would have a finished bowl or at least a better idea on how I should have moved forward. As always Doug thank you.
@@chrisgiftshop3127 we need to chat privately some time. I have an idea that you may be interested in.
The bowl looked good, up to the point it didn't want to be a bowl anymore and took off running.
Lol. Yea I hate when that happens. Just means it wanted to be something else I guess. Future project in the works now.
When you find the other half, let us know.
@@georgeplatzer6288 will do!
That has happened too many times to me. Glad you are ok. Keep safe.
Thanks for watching and nice to know I'm not the only one breaking stuff. Next bowl I turn, I'll hopefully have my bowl core system set up and won't have to worry so much about this.
That was a big chunk of wood that flew through your workshop and out the window, I'm glad you're okay Chris
I've had so much fly off that thing in the past. One been hit once. I guess I could say I've been lucky. Thanks for watching.
chris where do u wnt me to get a hold of u at? i sent my address on facebook. Chris
Thanks Chris, got it out today.
I believe record power and Nova jaws are interchangeable.
I was unaware of that, but after seeing they are interchangeable with the Bauer, I could see that.
very nice necklace there Chris! hope u r doing well brother? i still have your blanks here bud i'll get them to u wen i can and when i remember ha! u take care of yourself ok? just remember, God loves u, God bless. Chris
Thanks Chris. I have you yours as well. Going to see if I can find something else to throw in there for ya too.
Nice medallion. Turn them round then do some off center turning to decorate them. Loads of fun. Well done.
Thanks Doug! I have some ideas for a few and just hope they all turn out as well. Thanks for watching and the suggestion.
Bowl looks awesome
Thanks George! I'll bring it in so you can really see it.
Happy you were able to save this one. There are 2 things I would have coached you to do slightly differently. 1. You could have cleaned up and finished the bottom before you reversed it. It may not have come off the chuck if the recess had been sharpened up and a slight dovetail turn into it. 2. The resin in the bottom looks like it could be turned just a touch deeper. It’s a personal opinion, but I’d like to see a little bit more of the wood in the bottom. You did a pretty good job with this save. For sure one to be proud of. The touch of purple in the resin was a great choice. Well done.
After going through the bottom twice I wasn't going to push my luck on taking more out the bottom. I too would like to have seen more of the wood on the bottom. As for the dovetail I alway forget to put those on my mortise. Over all was happy to finally finish this one. Have a bunch of others I need to finish now lol. Thanks for the tips and watching.
This is something my son would LOVE. He is much better than I at making pens. He has an under 7 year old, that keeps him busy. This is a great way for him to get back turning!
Then I guess that makes you number 4. Thanks again.
I am glad to see that my son and I are not the only members of the “funnel” club.
Lol. Yea it just took me 3 tries on this one lol
Omg I want one of the quads!!!
Robert you are #3 and I just got some plugs in so I'm sure we can figure something out.
hey there Chris i would i like to get a mold from u to do a tube in casting. Chris
Thanks Chris I guess that makes you #2 in the drawing. Good luck!
There is a release agent to help get silicone molds out of their mold. Sorry I can’t remember who makes it. Maybe Alumilite? For your first molds these look great. Go thicker on your printed walls and I believe you’ll have the breaking issue solved. Well done.
Thanks Doug. I've always heard everyone use Stoner as a release agent. I'll have to look into it more. I'm going to redesign the mold if I decide to make more of these. Thanks for watching and I guess you're #1 for the giveaway.

Sometimes a hobby is how it starts. Glad you found my video useful.
I too bought one. It is my second chuck. It is so nice having two. So far, I have no complaints. I have made several bowls and handles using it on well dried White Oak. It has just held. It almost holds better than my OneWay Talon!
That's awesome. I debated getting another one, I have 3 (2 record power, and the Bauer). Only had a chance to use this a couple times, but no complaints.
