No woodworking this weekend due to surgery. So instead I share my thoughts on keeping a woodworking journal to help improve your skills. Keeping a woodworking journal allows the maker to record successes and failures, high points and low. We learn as much, or more, from our mistakes than from the flawless project. Keeping this record helps us analyze what might have been done better and sets us...

    As an amateur, I have always held that ignorance of others opinions on a subject can be a superpower. Having someone to rely on for help is wonderful, but attempting a project using a technique you have never tried before with no preconceived ideas about the difficulty involved can make your attempt a lot more successful. I own more reference books than I have internet forum bookmarks. I'd rather try unsuccessfully 100 times to do something, gaining information along the way, than have one person convince me that what I am attempting is impossible. Does my work suck? Yeah, some of it is horrible, but what I do well has been accomplished through perseverance and patience. I admire what others can accomplish, but I know for a fact I am capable if I put the effort into a project rather than convince myself I will never be able to gain the skills to make it work.

    I appreciate the video. My thoughts are these - basswood is a good place to start, or green wood, as you mentioned. Maple is a good green wood. Fruit tree woods sometimes have wavy grain that makes them hard to work. I also agree that sandpaper is good, especially for a begining woodworker. I think you could have sawed that blank in half, which goes along with your comments at the end of the video. I also think a longer sloyd knife would be better. Maybe you could have a few more types of cuts. My experience is limited and I have a lot more to grow. Thank you for sharing this. I think I'll try it, although I'll take into account what you said, especially regarding a thinner blank

      Thanks for the comment and observation. I do have a knife with a longer blade but tend to forget about it because it doesn't feel as good in my hand. I'll do another one with that knife and see how it goes. Choosing the thinner blank made a world of difference. Thanks again and thanks for sticking around to the end.

      Great question. Yes a dowel would be easier if you have the right size. But there are times where this is a better option such as chair legs. One of the things I love about woodworking is there is not just one way of doing anything. Many options work and work well.

    Thanks for sharing your process. I'm sure the handsome and talented Mr. Peace would be proud to know he inspired you. Question: To mark where you will be drilling the four 'windows' in the side of the lamp, did you consider using your lathe's indexing function? Once you've mounted the rounded blank in your chuck, it would seem you could lock the headstock and draw a line the length of the blank using your tool rest as a straight edge. Then, using your lathe's index function 1/4 rotation, lock the headstock and draw another line. Rinse, repeat. Your method worked, but it seems using the index function would be quicker and more accurate.

    if I can get a solid level hold on the piece, then i prefer the blockplane. i usually work on making even facets around the end and then cut the corners off the facets. make half an octagon, then plane the corners off to make half a hexadecagon(16 sided) and then just work on making it smooth fro there. i get much better results in terms of evenness and symetry when i do it that way.

      ​@@AncientCityCraftworks probably a few hundred times over ~30 years if i had to guess. these days my preferred method is to get it into rough shape, and then refine it with some custom moulding scrapers i've made out of old saw plates. it's the same process as making a scratchstock basically. just make the roundover you want, sharpen and roll a burr. then get 90% of the way there with a plane or spokeshave and let the moulding scraper finish it out. i did a set of shelves recently. ~600 inches of roundovers by hand took less than a day. everything ended up very consistent. if i didn't know better, i would have thought it was done with an electric router, just without the burning.

    It won't be as strong as a mortise and tenon joint because there is relatively less gluing face area, so the strain forces will be less distributed, but it will be still strong as it resists racking in all directions because of it's cylindrical shape. Using it at both ends of a stretcher would be fine.
