Making a Bowl On a DIY Foot Powered Pole* Lathe - Dee Synnott
Dee Synnott is a traditional green wood worker based in Tipperary in Ireland. He hand crafts bowls and cups on a foot powered spring lathe that he built himself out of scrap pieces of wood. He shows us how to make a bowl and tells us all about the lathe and associated chisels, most of which he also made!

Young Blacksmith Revives 270 Year Old Irish Forge - Saul Forged
Переглядів 27 тис.11 місяців тому
I travelled down to a 270 year old forge in Mountshannon, County Clare, Ireland, to spend the day with Reece from Saul Forged. Reece is a newly qualified blacksmith having completed a course from the College of Further Education and Training in Cappamore in Limerick. Reece was extremely generous with his time and let me hang out for the day while he made several items including a horse head bot...

The workshop was built in the 1890's and still contains many things from when it was originally set up, including the original bellows and anvils. Peter makes a mix of things including some beautiful sculpture work as can be ...
Learning to weld in the west of Ireland (Common Knowledge)
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
In early June 2022 I loaded up my trusty Honda FTR223 and headed off on a 250km journey across Ireland from Dublin to Ennistymon in Co. Clare. I spent the weekend camping at Common Knowledge doing a beginners welding course. Our fantastic teacher Deirdre taught us the basics of stick/ arc welding, mig welding, and tig welding. This video shows what we got up to on the second day of the course, ...
I WISH my forge looked like THAT!
Hello I been a blacksmith for around 30 yrs or so,,,and you approach to blacksmithing is dead on,,Hope you do well and never stop learning,,
Hope he start a UA-cam channel id follow
Lovely explanation, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of you turning!
I'm welder form India how can apply for welder job...
An other outstanding video
Cheers Joe!
This was in my feed and so happy I watched. I've been working with wood for +10 years and I always feel I produce better things using the old fashioned ways. Power tools are amazing and can't be beat when mass producing something but there's something relaxing and therapeutic(honestly lol) when your the machine shaping nature to your liking. I would highly recommend any "crafter" to at least learn the way our ancestors produced some amazing things.
Ye its super nice to fully immerse yourself into a project without the pressure of time/ productivity. The power tools will always be there waiting for when you need to get shit done!
It's remarkable how a little bit of scrap can be turned into anything with the right ingenuity
Nice for you to share this! Always good to see fellow turners telling how they do it.
Thanks! Your setup looks pretty similar. Do you use a pole or elastic for the power?
My forge does not look anything like this. Awesome vibes from your forge. Something to be said about old world forges. Great to see a new blacksmith taking over.
Thanks, it was like stepping back in time👍
Nicely edited, would like to see more of these
Cheers Glen, more on the way
Just an idea: attach a little knob into the hole would turn the bowl into a lid for pans and pots. Great video, support! 🫶🏻
Great idea, thanks! And thanks for the support! 🙌
Amazing explanation and also amazing asmr triggers😅❤🎉 thank u!!!
Ye the carving is really good for asmr! I could have probably made a full video with it!
An other great video bud, Is there much of a market for wooden spoons?
Cheers Joe. I think there probably is ye. Sure wooden spoons have always been used in cooking as they don't get hot or scratch pots and pans. I'd say the market for others uses might be increasing as people look to have practical hand made items that they can actually use on a daily basis. Makes eating a bit of porridge feel a little bit special!
Three tools and you're away. It can get out of hand pretty quickly too!! Which is not a bad thing. But then i am fairly biased! Thanks for the vid you pair!
Absolutely, if it's something you enjoy, down the rabbit hole you go! There's certainly worse things to spend your money on. But nice that you can dip the toe without too much cost or pressure. Glad you enjoyed it Dee!
So what do we think, does spoon carving have the lowest barrier to entry or any kind of woodwork or is there something else? As Bren says, 3 tools and a bit of firewood and off you go!
OI AMIGO ACABO DE ME INSCREVER E DEIXAR AQUELE LIKE
Obrigado!
👍
How do those brackets attach to the wall? Nice shop this fellow has, thank you for showing us.
No prob. He drilled 2 holes in the back of them for screws. Think you can see them in some clips.
@@makewithmitch Ah good, that makes sense. I always have a problem making brackets, half the time the support angle part blocks where your screwdriver would go.
Same here sir 12 years in the restaurant business and a few others in construction a mental break down now off to be a blacksmith. Best of luck.
Is there any recommendations on what someone beginning on the journey should start making to hone their skill that sells to help subsidize the cost of starting off?
I think in general probably smaller stuff initially and then get bigger or more specialised as you gain more experience. As Reece says in the video, he makes a lot of jewellery, bottle openers, and similar stuff that is probably on the simpler end of things, and also not too difficult to sell at markets. People might have a few quid in their pocket and would be more inclined to spontaneously buy something if it was relatively affordable. From a honing you skill point of view, i think smaller is probably better too. Less material used first of all. But more importantly, you'd probably be better off making 10 small things as opposed to one big thing to hone the skill and develop muscle memory. Lots of repetition. Reece has posted lots of what he's made over the last year on instagram if you're looking for some inspiration.
@@makewithmitch thanks lad, we went to a forge in Tipp for a stag and me and the buddy loved it, we're putting serious thought into setting something up.
@@joeofnotrades What was the name of the place you went to? There seems to be a really strong growing community of blacksmiths in Ireland at the moment. Regular events and meet ups and stuff. Think theres a facebook page where they all hang out and organise stuff. Give it a go I say, looks like great craic!
@@makewithmitch Triscele Forge I think 🤔 A lad ironically with the surname Smith
@@joeofnotradesoh ye very good. Haha he must have been a natural
Please tell that fellow to put a magnet on that anvil to quiet the ring. That way he will still have his hearing when he's 50
I don't remember it being loud in person but perhaps over time it could be bad for the ears! Thanks
@@makewithmitchit is lol trust me
How bit of a bellow is that I want to build a forge on some land probably
It's a grand old shop ,wishing you A.T.V.B. great selection of hand made tools.
Wow, this is something that I've been wanting to learn for a long time. I watch every video that I can on UA-cam. I really enjoyed this video, I think we need more young lad's like Reece, he's an inspiration to us all. At the end I almost fell off my chair when you gave out the course details, the reason that I was so surprised is that Cappamore is a local village to me, about 35 minutes away so I will be checking that out. For all that, Thanks.
Definitely check it out, he couldn't have given it a higher praise! They have a new set of courses starting in September I believe.
Very cool 👍 beautiful shop . All the best mate
He's a lucky man!
I have to say i am green with green with envy about that beautiful work space you have to occupy. Im coming to I reland in ,about 7-8 weeks and would love to call in if my journey takes me by you. I will endeavor to contact you through "Insta"and will obviously follow your story. cheers Christo
wishing you all the success in the world! Would love to come to your forge and take a blacksmithing class if you offer them!
I don't believe he does classes at the moment but is planning to in the future. It'd be such a great location for them!
A man after my own heart. Do you have a wants list, I would like to help.
Very cool. Co. Clare is where im told my ancestors are from. Greetings from ontario canada
Cool old shop and a very handy smith! Hats off to him working in a dark shop, I need my lights!
Ye it was fairly dark but seemed to brighten up as the sun came around later in the day. He's only been in it a few months so not sure if he'll manage the winter with no light. I believe the is some wiring in it though an it was previously connected to the grid so he may be able to get some lights in action relatively easily.
Dont you turn the lights out when watching tempering temperature?
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 No I do not, I have trained my eyes because when I'm working out of my mobile shop you can't turn off the sun.

Ye would be great to do some others! It's currently August craft month with lots going on so will try do something.
Love it! The welding is great but I particularly enjoyed your video and narrator skills 😜🙌🏼
Thanks Sinead! But don't get me started on the narrating😅😅
Looks cool, be nice to incorporate ur leather creations with some metal work.
Absolutely, maybe even some wood too if I was feeling particularly adventurous.
