Hi, I’m Birch and I believe knowledge, skills and resourcefulness are a path to a better, easier life. To that end, I’ve been building & making things most of my life.
The majority of my content features woodturning and woodworking of all sorts. I also show some yard & garden projects because I enjoy the challenge and because the battle between gardeners and the rampaging hordes of rabbits, squirrels, deer and assorted vermin is never over. ;-D
In case you’re wondering where the name ‘Birch’ originates, the answer is simple. Out of the dozens of species of wood I’ve worked with, birch is my clear favorite wood to use when turning wooden bowls. Unfortunately, decent sized birch logs can be hard to obtain, which may be why most people’s experience with birch is via toothpicks and tongue depressors, but I digress. :-)

Woodlathe Banjo Maintenance | Fix that Sticking Banjo!
Make woodturning easier with a little work on your lathe banjo.
The banjo on a wood lathe is a critical part of the machine. They rarely if ever break, but with use a wood lathe banjo can become very hard to move and reposition. Having to fight with a sticking banjo every time you need to move your tool rest can be very aggravating. However, fixing a sticking banjo is actually quicker than constantly doing battle with it. Check out the solution in this video!

The grinder in this video has a 5/8-11 imperial thread. If you’re considering a purchase, check the specifications of the *exact* model you are looking at. Often the only difference from one model to the next is a single feature like the spindle thread or the type of switch. Good luck with your grinder and thanks for watching and commenting.
Would this be possible for steel too?
Definitely not! I wouldn’t even think about freehand turning any ferrous metals. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Turn the box upside-down, then press on to foam??
That wouldn’t work with these toolboxes. The inner profile is much more complicated than the top lip of the toolbox. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I use this to blow out my pool Plumbing and it works very well.
Very interesting! I would’ve guessed a compressor this size would not produce enough air to blow out any sort of piping system. Thanks for the tip and for watching & commenting.
How about some actual data. Most automotive style,paint guns run between 8-12 CFM. I’ve piggybacked 2 compressors to get away with spraying interlux 2-part Perfection on a 20 foot boat. Note: this paint like Awlgrip has to be sprayed at one go because whatever flow out you get is the gloss you get in a set time
You can find all the performance numbers for this compressor on the Makita website. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi is the one your putting the blade against different than the one you leverage on? I got one from a hard sale and only has one pin and it's straight
The fulcrum pin is a straight steel pin. The pins used to do the burnishing are solid carbide and are tapered. You can find the degree of taper on the Lee Valley website. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@CroakyOak thank you.
Drilling and tapping any metals, you need to lubricate the bit. Great video, though. It trashes our carbides, but it does work well. You would think a tool rest with X/Y dials that sits in the frog of a wood lathe for light metal turning would be a thing, lol.
I’m a female senior and I really appreciated this video. Thanks :)

How do you over winter them in the Pots? So you let them just stay outside? Or do you bring them in to a garage?
I don’t have any place to put my plants, so they all have to stay outside. If I don’t insulate the pots -the rest of the plant remains exposed- most of the varieties I’ve tried have not survived the winter. When I’ve grouped the potted plants together and surrounded the pots with mulched leaves, nearly everything survives. Protecting potted blueberry plants from the cold is only part of the deal. Varmints, especially rabbits, can decimate unprotected blueberry plants. I’ve had rabbits get past fencing and eat younger plants right down to the ground. Good luck with your blueberries and thanks for watching and commenting.
Beautiful goose

Thanks so much for demonstrating the recipe for fertilizing blueberries. What growing zone are you in?
USDA zone 4. Thanks for watching and commenting.

No. This mix calls specifically for pine bark nuggets. When I find chunks of wood in with the bark nuggets, I pull them out and put them in with my yard waste. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I just bought this based on the video but probably should've asked first: Can I use this to spray a bit of drywall texture through a hopper? The hopper says it needs at least 2.4 CFM. I only do patches in drywall, usually nothing bigger than 3 x 3 feet. Thank you
I’ve never used a texture sprayer. So unfortunately, I have no useful answer to this question. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Would you recommend it to spray small texture patches?
I’ve never used a texture sprayer, so I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job showing real use of tools not fake bull crap like a lot of the manufacturers do. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I'm new to turning and have been frustrated with every cup I've made being slightly off center. This fixed all my problems, you're awesome.
Thank you. I use this technique regularly, and I’m glad this video was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
great review. I’m also considering the Ridged model at $349.

The foam used in this video is called Kaizen Foam and is made by a company call FastCap. Thanks for watching and commenting.
File the other direction. Leaves no burr.
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Could you explain more what you mean please? I'm completely new to all of this😅
@astrid5870. Whenever you file, disc sand, belt sand or grind a new edge lt is usually better to have the edge towards you while use your tool of choice away from you. Otherwise you are rolling a thin section of metal over that has to be removed on the other side of the blade. That rolled metal is called a burr. This applies to knife sharpening too. With filing you may not get much of a burr but filing is only good for blades that have no stone nicks or damage. I usually grind my blades by clamping the blade in a vice so that the edge is pointed up and then grind with a 4 1/2" Harbor Freight electric grinder with sparks flying down. You can see the edge the whole time you are grinding and know immediately when to stop removing metal. Those grinders are as little as $15 and the stones are as little as $1 a piece. All the other methods I see on UA-cam are either harder to do or more costly. After 54 years at metal working in businesses and in my own auto repair shop I am not new to proper procedures on blade sharpening. I hope this helps.
Cats will love you and fish smell plus dogs want to roll in your clothes lol

Its not smoke, its water vapor...
Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great review, and thanks for the tips about the air hose and swivel.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you like this video. A quality and lightweight air hose and a swivel can make just about any compressor easier to deal with. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This was satisfying to watch. I especially liked when the curls of aluminum were flowing out of the drill bit sides.
I agree! Watching metal chips spiral off a drill bit *is* enjoyable to watch. Cleaning up the mess is less fun though. 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for getting right to the topic.
My pleasure! I’m not a fan of extended introductions either. Thanks for watching and commenting.

From what it sounds like - so long as you have a proper grip in the chuck, you can machine metal on a wood lathe. It just seems that you may want a different style of tool holder

You’re welcome. Good luck and thank you for watching and commenting.
on the second oil change, after 5 years, the oil is full of what seems like aluminum powder with some sparkly magnetic steel bits mixed in. still works, but there's a lot of blow-by escaping through the vent in the oil cap, and its days are probably numbered. my guess is old oil + cold weather = oil starvation. change your oil more often than I did, everybody.
Yikes! Thanks for the warning. I appreciate someone who is willing to share information like this. This is a highly useful maintenance reminder for us all. Thanks for watching and sharing a tip.
torture test!

I heat up my blade as I cut. Works well.
Cutting through the thick tool foam cut be a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!
Canadian Sphagnum peat moss makes a lower pH
Correct. Canadian sphagnum peat moss (usually the Premier brand) is what I use because that is what is available in my area. Thanks for watching and commenting.
