Woodturning Ice Cream Scooper Handle
Yes its been awhile. I have so many projects backed up. I got on the lathe and need some practice, so I thought a simple handle would get me back into the right frame of mind. I think its obvious I need to practice some more.

Maple Burl Shallow Hollow and Ack's Give Away

Cherry Bowl - on Laguna REVO 1216 wood lathe

For this weeks project I grabbed a piece of wood and set to make something from it. I put my hands on a round wood blank of dried cherry. My first thought was, yeah I haven’t turned a cherry bowl in a while. Of course, now I remember the lid or top of the Mushroom Nutcracker was cherry. Oh well. It’s kind of funny how you could have a whole plan or shape in your head and as you turn the wood di...

    Thanks so much for the demo of the outboard function! Seriously considering this lathe but the one thing that is still causing me to hesitate is there is no tail-stock support when going outboard. Seems to me the larger the piece you turn the greater the need for tail support, no? So I guess here is my question: Apparently there is a 20" bed extension available for this lathe, just wondering if it would fit on the outboard and therefore allow room for the tailstock to be moved over to that end too?? If so I think I'd be all in with no further hesitations on this lathe. (I could see how nice neat wood like you used wouldn't need tailstock, im just thinking of the larger less 'round' pieces). OH PS if you did read this far (sorry for being long-winded) Absolutely gorgeous bowl!! Why hadn't I thought of that chip-dip bowl turning project haha Great job man!

    • @movingchips
      @movingchips 4 місяці тому

      Thank you and hmmm.... interesting concern and I see your point. I have two projects (waiting on wood to dry, at least a little bit) that will require outboard turning. One is going to be very heavy and wonky, so it'll be interesting to see how the lathe handles it. As for answering your question, the 20" bed extension seems like a logical choice (which I may actually need for the one project). However, switching the tailstock around to the outboard side, it would be to low below center and would need something to lift it. The precision of alignment to center the tailstock could be an issue too. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. If you read this far, great question. ;)

      Yeah sometimes "nit picking" can be silly. However, for some people that one "nit" is just too much of an annoyance that it makes the person looking to buy the product realize they should go with the other machine. I don't know if you've seen my other videos, where I started my channel on a $150 WEN machine, before moving to the Laguna. I did a lot of research to replace the WEN and the nit picking by others helped me make my choice. I almost purchased a JET 1221, glad I didn't. I'm happy with this machine, even with the minor... "nits" LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Very nice video! Unfortunately I can't reference it in our monthly newsletter because at around 9:32 (and several other times) you are shown truing up a face grain blank using a SPINDLE ROUGHING GOUGE. This should never be done, and thus because of these unsafe techniques shown, we can't recommend the video. You may want to re-shoot, or remove the use of the spipndle roughing gouge segments and then re-post the majority of the video.

      Hello, I appreciate the feedback. In this video, and many others, the heavy 1 inch bowl gouge looks like a roughing gouge. At 3:24 in this video you should clearly see the profile. I really like the heavy 1 inch Hurricane bowl gouge for roughing. However, about 3 years ago when I first started out, I didn't know any better (what any of the tool names were) and I did use spindle roughing gouge on end grain. You bring up an interesting point, I was the one looking for feedback and instructions on what I was doing wrong... NOW... I can see how others might view my videos as instructional or insight on turning. I will have to go back and remove or as you say reshoot/remake the videos. Thanks for the advice

      ​@@movingchips I have known pieces of wood to move when being drilled when held as you held this piece. I think the noise was from the blank having moved very slightly so the live center wasn't seated properly in the hole. If I'm drilling something like that I slacken off the jaws put the live center in and push it home then retighten the jaws.

      Sorry to hear that. I have not had an issue with power or fuses (knock on wood). Sounds like a frustrating situation and if I were faced with the same problem, I might ask neighbors/friends if they know of an electrician that would check out my electrical feed from the main panel to the lathe and if they had a voltage meter to confirm.... for free (if its a friend) or low expense (if recommended). Electricity is one thing I don't mess with, for safety reasons. I don't want to get hurt myself or burn the house down. Good luck and let me know what you find out. Thanks

      Thank you. I want to say it started at about 2-1/2 inches. It currently stands about 2-1/4 and little over 11-1/4 inches wide

    Why did you quit?

      It certainly feels like I quit, but I have turned a little since the last video. Weather is getting warmer and I plan on filming a few projects very soon. If I remember how. LOL

    Nice video. I noticed you used OB Shine Juice on one of the stands. I think that is made from linseed oil if I'm correct. If so, I would caution not to use it for this type of project. Linseed oil can carry its smell for some time going forward. Often times cancer patients have enough problems and don't need these additional odors which for some can be offensive. I'm also making some wig stands along with our local club to donate. Thanks, Myles

      I think wig stands are a fantastic project and for a good cause. I agree with the linseed oil being amongst the smelly finishing solutions us turners use. I found that the OB Shine Juice (which is diluted with denatured alcohol and shellac) as well as Ack's Abrasive Paste are the best odorless finishes I have used so far. Although I save the Ack's for bowls, plates, etc because its food safe. Ack's would work fine for this project too. My cousin, (who is a cancer survivor) was very happy to receive one of these for her wig, at the time of her ordeal. I'd love to see your work, if you can send me a picture/link. Thank you for the comment.

    Just lop a few millimeters off the tool rest base (or banjo) with an angle grinder. How hard can it be? I've got many different and bigger issues with this machine, not the least the lowest spindle speed which is already a ridiculous 750 rpm, and the weak motor and the lack of mechanical speed reduction. The smallest cheapest lathe you can realistically get away with is "the" *Grizzly T25920,* or a version of that generic Chinese export pattern from any other vendor. But you need to make sure you get the _latest low speed version_ with the 300 rpm entry speed because older versions started out at 650 rpm as well.

      This lathe treated me well... until it died. I have a much better lathe now. Thanks
