Another class 'A' video, Mike. Golly, but it's fun to watch you turn. Stay safe & healthy my friend.
Thanks, Bob. Get off the PC and back into your shop and turn!
You make the most informative wood turning videos. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Cool idea Mike. Got to try that.
I am going to make one today!
Thanks. Your flying saucer is definitely a better option than turning two knobs on a blank and then trying to cut the blank diagonally to create 2 doorstops out of one timber blank. I'm an intermediate woodturner. Worst part of turning is tool sharpening. Need a Tormek! The trick is to have a longer blank than you think you need to allow for waste wood as well as the knob handles, otherwise the gradient of the timber will be too high to go under the door.
Good point!
Mike, I'm a subscriber and enjoy so many of your videos. You asked for suggestions and I have one. At 67 I'm new at woodturning and befuddled on which speeds are used for turning, sanding, application of stains and stuff like that. A downloadable chart that I can post on the wall near my lathe would be ideal.
This video covers some of that ua-cam.com/video/8lq78dWdwH4/v-deo.html
Is it missing enough to warrant a redo do you think?
pretty cool mike . i think as a fairly new wood turner my biggest issue is sharpening and learning the grinds . i dont have a jig and well i dont want to tear up a good tool trying to learn the hard way . but hey them door stops look cool my wife used to work at the school and she wanted me to make her some for the teachers . i never got around to it as she dint stay there long enough . but looks like a good project .thanks mike stay safe my friend
There are on line plans for making jigs if you feel that would help your sharpening. The key though is knowing what the dege should look like. Then make it happen.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning thanks mike
You mention in your comment: other ideas for videos. I would like to see one explaining the difference in bowl gouges. For instance, what is Irish grind compared to regular bowl gouges/ is one better or not? Are they used different?and why. Does size make a difference? Your way of sharing bowl gouges, etc.
I like it, Mike. Thanks for sharing! Beach,NC
hi mike i'm from qld Australia i'm new to this love your vid's watch every one of them thank you for giveing so much info helps a lot i watch your vid's over and over great info .
Glad you like them!
Nice product, Mike; especially with the ornamentation. Your comment on CA glue is timely, as I recently had a bad experience. CA glue can migrate very rapidly, and despite my frugality, I had some travel along to my chuck, and jam it up faster than I could react. The jaws stuck fast, and gave me 90 anxious minutes releasing them from the scroll. Fortunately the scroll survived and I finished up with a clean and well serviced chuck! Bernard.
I bet that was annoying. I have had CA leak out the ottom of something as well.
NZ'ers have a nice simple design - thanks for importing the idea Mike. Uh, shouldn't you relabel it 'I'm a Chew Toy' ? -Mike
Thanks Mike for another great instructional video!
That is the style they use in Australia also. Most have a very thin rubber layer on the bottom to help prevent sliding.
That is where the shelf liner comes in. I did try spraying some black liquid rubber I had on hand but edited out of the video to keep the time down.
Great idea Mike, liked the enhancement. Thanks, Mike.
That's an interesting idea for a turning Mike... gonna have to try this one myself.
I love this video. Something that everyone can use and easy to make.
Very interesting idea - thanks. By the way I do like the added text clarifications. Also, though you've been trying the green screen I think it looks better, for me at least, to see you in your natural surroundings. Not a beginner but my biggest challenges I still find come from turning very soft wood - anything you'd feel like saying / demonstrating in that regard would be great. :-)
Poplar is about as soft as I want to turn. I do have students use pine squares to learn basic tool control turning beads and coves sticks. I avoid punky wood. Life is too short to turn crappy wood.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Yes, I know what you mean. The wood called poplar in the UK is very soft and marks very easily. I was thinking more of hardwoods that look great but have become a bit soft from water and time.
I like the concept of this doorstop. Iwill add this to my project list. Mike, I am new to wood turning (7 months now) and am loving it immensely, as I have recently retired. You asked about frustrations encountered by new turners,and my biggest frustrations have been the lack of a turning club in my area, the nearest being about 40 miles away and the expense of exotic woods in Australia. I had to resort to buying a couple of loads of firewood to get some ironbark and mahogany to turn. Otherwise I'm able to source free offcuts from a local joined, which is mostly Oregon softwood. A single 8 inch bowl blank sells for around 40 dollars, which is too much for my skill level to risk. Love your channel, your tips and passion are inspiring.
Thanks for commenting. I never thought about challenges of getting wood in Australia. I guess that is true in parts of the USA but not where I live. Wood from down trees is readily available. I suspect you can find some treasures in your firewood.
I use all the failed turnings I have done as door stops or to warm the house during cold weather.
Great and unique idea from down under. It seems to be a better idea than the wedge type since it can be placed under the door from any angle.
Funny where ideas come from some time. We just have to be observant.
I know a friend that is a janitor and I am gonna make him a couple of those as he uses them at work all the time and he was telling me that they disappear frequently the wedge style he uses. That one you made you will have to crossover door stop and write dog chew now lol 😝
Hi Mike, An interesting topic would be how to prevent catches while hollowing a bowl.
Great idea, I will add to my list. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mike, the most difficult thing I experience, is getting end grain smooth on a bowl. Sometimes no matter what I do, I can not get it smooth, especially inside the bowl.
Ripples and tool marks in the bottom 1/3? I think I should do a video on that, thanks.
I enjoy your video. Since you asked. I would like more instruction and demonstrations on using the bowl gouge. When I try to make end round, it tears fibers, bounce, and dig in.
I am indeed a rank amateur and any thing you can offer in terms of using the various tools will be greatly appreciated. ie, bowl gouge, skew, etc.
Thanks for your suggestion. I do plan on some tool useage videos soon.
So do you have any books or anything that makes this hobby easier?
@@joehardy6417 This is my favorite amzn.to/34BHPJZ Join a woodturning club and join the AAW. Details at the AAW site woodturner.org.
Something a bit different, non traditional, but interesting. I liked the embellishment. Apparently your dog did too. LOL. Certainly easy to make.
Supperfast and does not take much wood.
Pretty interesting, dude! 😃
I love hot glue, it's really useful for many things! My hot glue gun is a strong one, it's 150w I guess, because I use it to make rc airplanes from foam board (FliteTest's way). 😊
I sometimes forget my hot melt glue gun. It can be useful.
Mike I have difficulty removing the nib (slow moving wood) at the center of my bowl turnings. Any advise? Thank you for all your efforts.
Slow down the feed rate of your tool. As MPH in the center slows down so does your tool travel need to slow down. A lot!
Great use for all those cut-offs in the corner of my shop. Thanks for sharing. I noticed a tool rack in the video that I don't recall seeing before. Did you do a video on how to design and make it? If so can you share the link. If not can you share some pics of the entire rack? I'd like to make one and put it on wheels--I have three lathes and this would be a great addition.
Thanks. Looking forward to our May demo!
Thanks for the suggestion, Tom. I will add it to my short list.
Mike, you are going to have to give the dog reading lessons...... It was marked clearly on there what it was. :) :)
Especially liked the drawer liner anti slip map on the bottom. I live in Spain so most of the floors are tiled so that should work a treat.
Yet another thing to pop on the list of "Things that need to be turned"
Thanks for posting.
Hola!. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mike, I love to turn but I have trouble with dimension. I turn a lidded box and want to put a finial on top but it always seems to be to small or I watch lots of things on you tube and I can copy most of them but I would like a pattern to give me ideas and sizes Thanks for asking the question
Do some research on Pinterest for finials or turned wooden boxes and evaluate the ones you like. Ask yourself why?
Nice project Mike, just call it a dog toy.LOL
I wwould hate to get hit by a woodent frisbee! Thanks for watching, Lyle.
Just a note; if you hot glue pieces together and want to disassemble them, put them in the microwave. 45 seconds to a minute will have the parts falling apart.
Umm. I don't have a microwave in my shop and my wife hangs around the kitchen a lot. If I got caught I would be in trouble!
Can you use Walnut oil that they sell at Walmart? Seems like it would be a food safe finish but not sure if it would dry. Any thoughts?
Maybe on your salad. I guess it would dry eventually but would take a very long time. Some salad oils can go rancid.
Where did you get the 1" X 8 tpi to 1 1/4" X 8 tpi adapter you are using on the Laguna 1216?
Crafts Supplies USA or Penn State. It also comes with the Apprentice collet chuck from CSUSA,
Mr. Peace I hate to ask and I have been going through old videos all morning. Would you please tell me what and where you got your turning jacket?
Which one? My camoflage ACU from eBay. The others from the American Association of Woodturners. I picked up at symposiums for demonstrating in recent years. I had to buy them earlier.
Mike Peace Woodturning I am interested in the camouflage one. Regular turners jackets seem to me to be way over priced. Thanks for replying.
Really beautiful job, dude! 😃
Too bad the dog did that, but well... Those things happens. 😕
So it is a dog chew toy as well as a door stop. Better to let the dog chew that than the furniture legs!
Double sided tape would have worked and you don't have the glue clean up.
I almost reached for that but thought I would show the use of a glue gun.
Don't bring the dog to church !
Certainly not for the rest of the month as the Bishop requested all of the churches cancel services for the rest of the month due to the Covid 19 virus!
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Glad you took my comment in jest.Sad and difficult times to come I fear Have followed you from the start,keep up the good work.ll
