+Laura Thompson thank you very much !!! Olive is a very precious wood with a lot of history for us here in Greece!! You need to try woodturning I guarantee that you will find it very enjoyable
Those happy moments!!!! Another work of art! Loving the camera angles, and showing the preparation! Really helps to see what you are doing! Thanks for sharing your talent!
thanks you very much !! i was very lucky i find on the rubbish a microphone tripod and i make for it a bas for my camera !! need some fixes but in few days will be perfect !!!
thanks for try to speak Greek my friend i really appreciate this !! i take a fast look to your channel you have some very interesting videos ! i subscribe !!! so we can speak more !!! thanks again !
That turned out great. I appreciated hearing your thoughts as you were working, especially how you adjusted to the flaws in the wood. The wood can tell us what it needs, if we're wise enough to listen [and you obviously are ;) ] Thanks for sharing!
thanks a lot Barry for your kind words ! I really appreciate your words because every time I say to someone I speak with the wood I hear it and tell me what is need they laugh with me ha ha ha !
Another stunning piece. Well done with the crack! A liytle nerve wracking. The grain in the olive wood amazes me each time. Sadly its difficult to buy and expensive here. Think i should emigrate!
if you ever pass from Greece i am stay at Kefalonia island so you can turn on my workshop !!! finished products are lighter than a blank !!! if you came here my wood and workshop are yours to make as much you like !!!! and all of this for free!!
Kostas! I'll go pack!!!!Hahaha Thats a generous offer & very much appreciated. It would be awesome just to watch you work in person. Perhaps one day, when I am not such a beginner, i will take you up on this. Thank you. And you can teach me how to work the begleri too 😆
Its such a wonderful craft. Something I have wanted to do for longer than you have been alive!!!! Finally I am able to indulge myself. I am slow (to teach myself by watching others like yourself), but am more pleased with my results
+Markos Mavris σε ευχαριστώ πολύ παλικάρι για την υποστήριξη!!! Πραγματικά είναι ένα μαγικό ξύλο και όλοι εμείς πολύ λίγοι μπροστά του για να μπορέσουμε να το δαμασουμε !!!
That is beautiful. I only found you because of the comment you left on my video. I decided to see if you had any videos and, here, I find lots and lots. I am going to enjoy watching them all because, from what I've seen on the screen shots of the videos, you do beautiful work Just got yoursself another sub. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Hey Brendan you have a bit confuse me with your two channels ! but now is everything clear !!! men you make me have very serious problem i don't know what i will do with my addiction to the miniatures !! ha ha ha ah ! thanks a lot for your kind words my friend !!!
thats so cool u did this piece and that its made of olive wood!! i have a small log thats like 12"L x id guess and say 6"in diameter that i got from a subscriber last yr and i didnt want to turn it into just anything. i cut the ends yesterday and theres no cracks so i wanna attempt this one with it today. after o watch your video a few more times too..lol thanks for shari g this beautiful piece!
Impressive Turning Kostas and excellent camera & commentary. I like your comment about decorative pieces. Your use of a soft pad on the tail stock live centre is very innovative. Does that minimize vibration?
Hmmm dont lought at me but is so long ago that I make this video that I cant remember ! Probably was better than to be free !!! Sorry for that I have not a respond ! But you can try a tennis ball on smaller this work perfectly!!!
σε ευχαριστώ πολύ ρε φίλε και εγώ ανχωθηκα ! πίστευα ότι θα είναι μόνο πάνω η ρογμη αλλά δυστιχως ήταν κατά μήκος σε όλο το ξύλο ! αύξησε η προσπάθεια και πέρασα και καλά !
hey Gus thanks for subscribe to my channel !!!! i post a new video ever Sunday and when i have an extra video upload it in the middle of the week! everything you need feel free and ask me i will very happy to help you also if you have any suggestions i will be also happy to know them !!!
thanks you very much Lee !!! but i think i am just to the beginning ! wood turning needs experience more than 20 years to master it !!! thanks you very very much for you comment !!!
Μπράβο και πάλι Κώστα. Όντως είχες δύο δυσκολίες μέσα στη κούπα και στη βάση. Έχω δει ότι βάζουν μια κόλλα όχι εποξικη c glue νομίζω.Ωραίο ξύλο η ελια και η αμυγδαλια αλλά έχουν άγχος μέχρι να το τελειώσεις.
CA glue ! ειναι κυανοακρυλικη κολα κοινος ως λογκο ! το ξερω οτι βαζουν αλλα ειμαι λιγο ξεροκεφαλος και θελω να δουλευω μονο φυσικα υλικα ! καποια στηγμη θα ανεβασω βιντεο με την χρηση τους και με βαψιμο τον εργων αλλα δεν ειναι κατι που συνιθυζω και ετσι πρεπει να το βαλω στο προγραμμα χα χα α αχ χα !!! σε ευχαριστω πολυ για το σχολιο σου να σαι καλα αδελφε μου !!!
Thank you again Scott ! no i haven't a website yet but i prepere it !!! if you like you can find me on Facebook so i can send you photos from what i have !!!
thanks a lot my friend you make me very happy when you make me feel that I inspire you ! you are very good in metal work maybe you can start to make one by yourself!
Δεν είσαι καλλιτέχνης ρε φιλε.........κασκαντέρ είσαι.......μας πήγε η ψυχή στην κούλουρη......όμως είσαι τοσο σταθερός στα μαγικά σου που απλά μας αποστομώνεις για άλλη μια φορά.......μπράβο ρε Αννικα
I wish i had more time. Im trying to get a video entered in the birdhouse contest, not sure if i get it done in time. My aim is one video per month, but its hard to achieve
o i don't have time to participate to this contest i will travel to Athens 21 of the month for some demos and i try to have some video for the next 3 weeks !! ha ha ha h a
I run into cracks like that all of the time and I treat them with CA to stabilize the sides then use painter's tape (which will release cleanly) and system 3 epoxy and charcoal dust to fill......the charcoal fills up the void and gives the epoxy a grain like appearance but will polish to a high luster with your finer grits and oil finish.....I used to use ebony dust and CA but at $ 52 US for a 1" x 2" x 24" in length......sanding these down to dust was a sin.......Kingsford brand charcoal is $ 5 per 20Lb bag I officially have "hair Envy"......being just bout bald right now.......going back through your channel now Jed Taylor
The problem with greece is that is really hard to find really good .CA glue! We have bison and logo but I find out that they are not good foe wood turning!!! Thanks a lot for the tips brother !!
thanks a lot my friend !! the knot of olive is the reason of a lot of cracks !!! also are very harder than the normal wood !! so as you turn the wood some times the tools stack on the begin of the knot and if is a sescitive piece like that maybe you break it !! sorry for my english my friend !!!
I usually go very slowly and sharpen the tool frequently or use coarse sandpaper around delicate areas to keep them. Another approach is to stabilize them with lacquer or cyanoacrylate. I think they give a lot more character to the piece. I learned that losing up to half of the high risk projects just makes the successful ones twice as valuable. However - this is just a suggestion. You do very nice work and are lucky to have a good source of olive. It is still very pretty without the knots.
i also have good sharpen tools ! bud i don't like to use glues !! i don't know is not my style i prefer the wood as natural possible can be !!! for all this time that i am turning wood the second time that i use CA glue is the video of the next weeks ! it was a so beautiful piece of wood and i don't like to loose it !!! thanks for sharing all those thoughts with me ! do you have any picture or video or fb or instagram account to see your work ??
I am sorry but I don't. I usually give things away since I usually make them with a person in mind. My wife has a few that I can photograph, but I'd have to email them. I started turning green wood about 30 years ago when I was poor and couldn't afford good wood. I used mesquite, southern live oak and some other very hard woods. The knots of the live oak have rays that look like spiders. I just got hold of some desert ironwood and look forward to lots of tool sharpening. I still prefer green hardwoods for turning. I also avoid glue and have never used CA glue. One thought about gluing is to use a temporary stabilizer such as hot glue or even CA and remove it afterward. Another idea is to highlight the crack. I gave a friend some malachite stone to fill a crack in a project and it looks beautiful. Right now I am looking at building a set of turning tools with carbide inserts and the others with tool steel.
30 years of turning Wow i am 28 years old ha ha ha ha !!! i like to try feel cracks with dust of rocks ! but i never try it because the epoxy in greece are very very expensive !!! so i put this idea at the list of '' one day '' ha ha ha !! the sharpen of the tools are really hard !! i have found my way ! and i don't know if you have try it but i will tell you this .... at the grinder you can put some soap ... before you sharpen your tools you put some soap and you don't care to watering the metal because the soap keep the steel cold as you sharpening !!! i know that for 30 years of experience that you have maybe this make you laugh but i find this and i like to share with you !! some friend that i have they get for making the tools with the inserts with meta that they found on the cars springs if you have a car garage you can ask thee for them ! they have some that people change and maybe they give you for free ! if you can't find just asked me to find some for you !!!
Καλό θα ήταν αν παράλληλα με την κατασκευή κάθε έργου να έλεγες και κάποιες πληροφορίες τεχνικές, πώς δουλεύει ο τόρνος , τι είδος σκαρπέλου χρησιμοποιούμε για το ανάλογο σκάψιμο ,τι πρέπει να προσέχει κανείς για την ασφάλεια του τι ξύλα διαλέγουμε .Πληροφορίες χρήσιμες από ένα ειδικό για κάποιους επίδοξους ερασιτέχνες .Μένω εντυπωσιασμένος με τα έργα κάνεις, να έχεις πάντα όρεξη να μας δείχνεις και είσαι καλά.
Έχεις δίκιο αδελφέ αλλά δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχει πάντα ο χρόνος έχω σκοπό να κάνω μια σειρά από βίντεο για να απαντάω στα ερωτήματα!!! Αλλά ο χρόνος μου είναι ακόμα πιεσμένος ! Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις ιδέες!!! Ελπίζω να καταφέρω να το εφαρμόσω!!!
Καλημερα Κωστα .Οταν θες πολυ κατι, το συμπαν (και οι ρωγμες!!!) συνωμοτουν για να το καταφερεις.Ενα εκατοστο πιο διπλα και θα το ειχες χασει ,αλλα αυτη περασε απο το σωστο σημειο.
εκπληκτικα νερα και κομματι,πιστευω εαν το εκανες μπολ δεν θα εβγαινε οσο ωραιο βγηκε σαν πατηρι,αν και.....οτι και να φτιαξεις,κουκλι ειναι οποτε τα λογια ειναι περιττα....
εχω και τις ατυχίες μου μην νομίζεις ετοιμαζόμουν να βάλω ένα βίντεο με ένα ονόματι που έσπασε αλλά κατα λάθος το έσβησα γαμωτο ειμαι λίγο πεισμένος και τα έχω χάσει λίγο γιατί ετοιμάζω την παρουσίαση στην Αθήνα !
Kostas Annikas Deftereos ε ναι ενταξει λογικο ειναι να υπαρχουν και αποτυχιες,καλη τυχη!!! δυστηχως ομως δεν μενω αθηνα ή στερεα Ελλαδα,αλλιως θα ερχομουν.....
Καλή η προσπάθεια, αλλά για να κάνεις επίδειξη-μαθήματα, ιδιαίτερα από ένα μέσο που παρακολουθούν πολλοί, μάθε πρώτα να τορνίρεις. Και ξέρεις...... υπάρχουν κι άλλα εργαλεία για τόρνευση. Ανακάλυψέ τα.
You are definitely a wizard. Keep up the good work,young man.
Thanks so much for your kind words ! I am so happy that you like it !!

Amazingly Beautiful Piece!! And You too!! LOL. Do you have this piece for sale? Was wondering.
yes bro is for sale !!! it was a bit scary to turn it but comes out great !!! thanks a lot for your support and your comments !!!
Very cool
Thank you Jason !
Love this piece! I am a huge fan of natural edged pieces and this is just beautiful! Is olive wood pretty common over there? it's hard to come by here
Thanks again brother !!! yes is kind of common but because the temperatures in Greece are crazy the greek olive wood splits !!! where are you from !?
I am from the US and live in Pennsylvania. Keep making those shavings!! Really beautiful stuff
thanks man !!! if you ever pass by greece you now where you will find free olive wood !!! ;)

Πώς καθαρίζεις μετά;
Μεγάλη ιστορία ! Έχω σκούπα Φαράσι πιεστικό αέρα και ηλεκτρική σκούπα για πριονίδι αλλά πάλι τίποτα !
I run into cracks like that all of the time and I treat them with CA to stabilize the sides then use painter's tape (which will release cleanly) and system 3 epoxy and charcoal dust to fill......the charcoal fills up the void and gives the epoxy a grain like appearance but will polish to a high luster with your finer grits and oil finish.....I used to use ebony dust and CA but at $ 52 US for a 1" x 2" x 24" in length......sanding these down to dust was a sin.......Kingsford brand charcoal is $ 5 per 20Lb bag
I officially have "hair Envy"......being just bout bald right now.......going back through your channel now

The problem with greece is that is really hard to find really good .CA glue! We have bison and logo but I find out that they are not good foe wood turning!!! Thanks a lot for the tips brother !!

Complimenti! Lavoro semplicemente meraviglioso, cercherò di crearne uno simile. Un grande abbraccio dal Brasile!
Qual è il tuo paese e lingua?
Hello my brother ! Happy new year from beautiful Greece! Best wishes to you and your family !
Olive wood is beautiful. What is wrong with leaving a knot in the base (unless it makes it too wide)? Nice work and I also appreciate the subtitles.
thanks a lot my friend !! the knot of olive is the reason of a lot of cracks !!! also are very harder than the normal wood !! so as you turn the wood some times the tools stack on the begin of the knot and if is a sescitive piece like that maybe you break it !! sorry for my english my friend !!!
I usually go very slowly and sharpen the tool frequently or use coarse sandpaper around delicate areas to keep them. Another approach is to stabilize them with lacquer or cyanoacrylate. I think they give a lot more character to the piece. I learned that losing up to half of the high risk projects just makes the successful ones twice as valuable. However - this is just a suggestion. You do very nice work and are lucky to have a good source of olive. It is still very pretty without the knots.
i also have good sharpen tools ! bud i don't like to use glues !! i don't know is not my style i prefer the wood as natural possible can be !!! for all this time that i am turning wood the second time that i use CA glue is the video of the next weeks ! it was a so beautiful piece of wood and i don't like to loose it !!! thanks for sharing all those thoughts with me ! do you have any picture or video or fb or instagram account to see your work ??
I am sorry but I don't. I usually give things away since I usually make them with a person in mind. My wife has a few that I can photograph, but I'd have to email them. I started turning green wood about 30 years ago when I was poor and couldn't afford good wood. I used mesquite, southern live oak and some other very hard woods. The knots of the live oak have rays that look like spiders. I just got hold of some desert ironwood and look forward to lots of tool sharpening. I still prefer green hardwoods for turning. I also avoid glue and have never used CA glue. One thought about gluing is to use a temporary stabilizer such as hot glue or even CA and remove it afterward. Another idea is to highlight the crack. I gave a friend some malachite stone to fill a crack in a project and it looks beautiful. Right now I am looking at building a set of turning tools with carbide inserts and the others with tool steel.
30 years of turning Wow i am 28 years old ha ha ha ha !!! i like to try feel cracks with dust of rocks ! but i never try it because the epoxy in greece are very very expensive !!! so i put this idea at the list of '' one day '' ha ha ha !! the sharpen of the tools are really hard !! i have found my way ! and i don't know if you have try it but i will tell you this .... at the grinder you can put some soap ... before you sharpen your tools you put some soap and you don't care to watering the metal because the soap keep the steel cold as you sharpening !!! i know that for 30 years of experience that you have maybe this make you laugh but i find this and i like to share with you !! some friend that i have they get for making the tools with the inserts with meta that they found on the cars springs if you have a car garage you can ask thee for them ! they have some that people change and maybe they give you for free ! if you can't find just asked me to find some for you !!!
Καλό θα ήταν αν παράλληλα με την κατασκευή κάθε έργου να έλεγες και κάποιες πληροφορίες τεχνικές, πώς δουλεύει
ο τόρνος , τι είδος σκαρπέλου χρησιμοποιούμε για το ανάλογο σκάψιμο ,τι πρέπει να προσέχει κανείς για την ασφάλεια του
τι ξύλα διαλέγουμε .Πληροφορίες χρήσιμες από ένα ειδικό για κάποιους επίδοξους ερασιτέχνες .Μένω εντυπωσιασμένος με τα έργα κάνεις, να έχεις πάντα όρεξη να μας δείχνεις και είσαι καλά.
Έχεις δίκιο αδελφέ αλλά δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχει πάντα ο χρόνος έχω σκοπό να κάνω μια σειρά από βίντεο για να απαντάω στα ερωτήματα!!! Αλλά ο χρόνος μου είναι ακόμα πιεσμένος ! Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις ιδέες!!! Ελπίζω να καταφέρω να το εφαρμόσω!!!
Ξέχασα να σου πω σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά σου λόγια!!!
Καλημερα Κωστα .Οταν θες πολυ κατι, το συμπαν (και οι ρωγμες!!!) συνωμοτουν για να το καταφερεις.Ενα εκατοστο πιο διπλα και θα το ειχες χασει ,αλλα αυτη περασε απο το σωστο σημειο.
ακριβώς Φώτη έπαιζα με τα χιλιοστά ! αλλά άξιζε τον κόπο !
Try using a tennis ball or a small soccer ball it works great instead of a rag

Καλή η προσπάθεια, αλλά για να κάνεις επίδειξη-μαθήματα, ιδιαίτερα από ένα μέσο που παρακολουθούν πολλοί, μάθε πρώτα να τορνίρεις. Και ξέρεις...... υπάρχουν κι άλλα εργαλεία για τόρνευση. Ανακάλυψέ τα.
+Ξύλο Ελιάς σεβαστή η γνώμη σου αδελφέ μου ! Ίσως να έχεις και δίκιο απλά δεν μαθαίνω σε κανέναν κάτι απλά μοιράζομε την αγάπη μου γι'αυτό που κάνω!!!
