First!! 😁 Drew, thank you for hosting me in your shop, I had a blast! You did a fantastic job on your first turning and I look forward to your future creations.
As a mechanic, I have found that a triangular handle fits my hand best. Have you ever done that? After watching machinists turning metal, I have an idea on how it could be done, but I don't know if it would work in wood.
@@timothyball3144 Offset turning is absolutely possible on a wood lathe. To make a "triangular" handle you adjust where the tail stock meets the end of the handle to 3 different locations and turn down part of the handle in each position. With the piece offset a bit, only a portion of the outside will be cut in each position. Definitely not a beginner skill but definitely possible.
@Jacob-5949 Thanks. I have seen similar done in metal, but I wasn't sure if wood would hold up to it. You would have to get the three points exactly opposite each other. Or would you? You would want a close to perfect triangle for sure, so the grip feels right, but actually, I think you could offset the points to get a different grain look. Hmm. Now I want to look up if anyone has done that.
It also helps if you build a podium for Peter’s friend the pastor and then deliver it to the other side of your state. 😉 this may be my favorite collaboration I’ve seen in years.
Came over from Peter's channel, and dang, clearly Peter's a great teacher. Only things I'd mention is to remember that the EXACT things you go for will vary based on material, intended shape, tools, and even your personal preference. Anyone can look at things and go 'That's spinning too fast' or 'That tool rest is too close', but the exact RPMs and distance and things like that, you just feel out eventually. The extremes on either end, anyone can tell, the exact specifics, you sort out over time. Aside from that, never get into the lazy habit of skipping face protection and/or gloves when needed. Nobody wants a chip out hitting them and hurting them, and you'd be surprised how even the seemingly softest materials can seriously hurt you if they get flung off fast enough. Lots of folks get comfortable turning, and they get lazy about actually protecting themselves, and then they end up with fun new scars because a piece of material came off, bounced erratically, and slapped 'em hard enough to draw blood. My old shop teacher used to show us his hands, and they looked like some lunatic spent a couple days stabbing him with toothpicks, because he never bothered with gloves properly when turning nastier stuff, so he had a flood of tiny scars all over 'em from metal shavings bouncing and hard wood chip outs and what not. Then he'd tell us he was lucky, and start showing us pictures of more probematic injuries. Turning is awesome, and very safe... Unless you get lazy about BEING safe, then it's an issue.
@@PeansINbetweens You should not wear *LOOSE* gloves while using a lathe. You SHOULD wear gloves if you're dealing with anything that will cause your problems when little bits of it hit your hands at high speed. Fiberglass, for example. Metals, for another.
Drew Fisher and Peter Brown in a single video was like winning the lottery. Seriously wish i could have given two thumbs up. Both of you are favorites of mine for not just the projects, but for the presentations and the humor you both bring to your videos. You two are the best of You Tube.
@@alandahlstrom7213 Fun fact: You **can** give two thumbs up! Since both Peter & Drew made a vid each and ya can thumb up each vid; ergo two thumbs up!
As a chemist, I really liked the capillary action with the CA glue. Watching those chips fly as you turned the handle was oddly satisfying and made me want to get into woodturning as well. I had to keep telling myself, "you do not need another hobby/tool" Thanks for sharing this, Drew.
Oh wow, they actually sent you your own Peter Brown! Talk about a great deal!! I love that even in a different channel, we still hear Peter Brown telling us about the wonders of MicroMesh and how it's its own grit system.
Very nice large. I have the Jet 1221 large myself, and love turning. The best thing is there are so many things that you can make with it. Great job as always!
They turned out beautifully!!! Welcome to the lathe. Thank you Peter Brown for helping him out and I’d like to tell you that you both are my favorite UA-cam stars. One love to all!!!
What a great collaboration by two of my favorite UA-cam makers! Not only was it fun to watch Peter teach Drew how to turn on a lathe, but clearly the two of you were enjoying your time together.
Having the two of you together like this fills me with such joy. If I was deluding myself, I'd say it's like coming home to your dad(s?) after a long time away. Realistically, it's like seeing my (slightly) older brothers. Great job, both of you ❤
I've been watching Peter Brown for years. One of the first woodworking UA-cam channels I subscribed to. Never a let down. As a matter of Fact, neither are you Drew. I'm going to lie and say that you were the 2nd woodworking channel I subscribed to. LoL! Been a subscriber to you for 5 or more years. Thank you for sharing your journey of learning the lathe in this video. I too am wanting to learn and this is definitely going in my Lathe Playlist. Lots of good tips for beginners in this one. Thank you and God bless.
This was a fun video to watch. I found you through Peter Brown, and I love what you’ve done with your first turning. The “delivery” shot of Peter in the box is priceless. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Another tip for anyone else interested, but nervous as I was, the Rockler stores offer one-day classes that teach the basics to turn a bowl or a pen. It's super helpful if you can't get your own Peter Brown delivered.
I learned most of my DIY skills from my dad, who learned from a man who was old in the 1970s, so my knowledge tends to skew low-tech. That said, I have never seen a digital angle gauge before and that's such an awesome tool!
That is an awesome collaboration. Drew is think you will love to turn. I know I do. Those screwdriver blanks are amazing and represent you and your family of wood workers perfectly. Nice work on your first turning. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Having @peterbrownwastaken as your instructor right out of the gate was a massive boon. He's got an impressive history of turning projects and some *really* novel problem-solving going on over on his channel. Congratulations on your first turning! Fantastic outcome and I like the novelty of grandpa's brass screws as the embellishments.
Congrats on a wonderful "not-so-first" turning AND as a turner, welcome to our world, a world of major expenses and experimentation and art/engineering. Carpe flat-head!!!
That turned out AWESOME and what a fantastic tribute to your grandfather!!! I know the screwdriver you made will always hold a special place in your heart. You'll have to make a nice tool holder for it, maybe lined with the Suede Tex fibers that look like velvet) to display it on your tool wall.
Drew, just what I didn’t need an inspiration to get a lathe! I have wanted to get one for years and actually use it. Thanks. Peter was a great addition!!!!
Fantastic! I absolutely loved this video! I have always been fascinated with turning but have only had the opportunity to do it a few times. Very tool that you have a new tool at your disposal and a new skill to learn!
Hi, I loved your plumber comment. I will say it was correct as my husband used to be a plumber and he does not watch woodworking videos. I watch your videos for your sense of humor and I don't do woodwork either but your videos are fun to watch anyway.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a video that's felt more like the first clip in a future cautionary tale video about addiction. 😅 Peter's a great teacher and could probably get anybody hooked on turning!
I am now really jealous. I just had our stuff shipped from Australia to where we live now in the UAE and this included my Coronet No. 3 lathe. The lathe turned up minus the head stock. Lots more of our stuff is missing as well but no headstock was really upsetting.
Welcome to the deep end Drew. Turning is a lot of fun. Been a fan of yours for many years and thrilled to see you branching into new techniques. Please feel free to incorporate the lathe into some of your other projects and show us an update on how you progress with your skills. Combining turning with "flat" woodworking always leads to more interesting final products. It would be fun to see you recreate some of the pins from your Skittles game. You could compare your new lathe to the one you built with your CNC and drill. Imagine hybrid blanks that represent different point values depending on what is in them: not only embedded flatheads, but tilted triangles or bees. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I started out on a 12" midi lathe about three years ago. I had no idea what I was getting into and scared to commit as I didn't know if I could do it. I started with carbide tools and quickly learned HHS. I almost only use the HHS now. I think they work much better. But, my carbide do have it's purposes. This summer I got my 24" Harvey! I love turning and it will be something I can still do when I'm an old lady all bent over! LOL BTW - I had a 550w motor and was able to turn 11" bowls just fine!
Nice piece of work. Excellent first turning. Boy it sure must be nice having one on one instruction in your own shop. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. Remember, when the wood goes around, the face shield comes down.🙂🙂
Perfect timing. I just got me a midi lathe. It's sitting in the shop still in the box! The Rockler lather looks a lot like the Rikon that I got. It's probably the same lathe just rebranded for Rockler.
Ok, thanks for making this video... I've been wanting to get a lathe but the whole variable speed swirly objects of death sort of kept me in check. So now I guess it's time to get a lathe. That handle turned out really great, you both did a great job. Can't wait to see what else you make Drew !!!
Drew, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I hope you will incorporate some turning in your future videos as well. I purchased a mini lathe but still have yet to try it, and this is inspiring and encouraging to want to give it a try.
I hope you do a new mitre saw station with built in hidden lathe. Wow I learned so much about lathe turning which is something I really want to learn. Ik Micheal Alm recently got one similar from Rockler model Xcaliber but they’ve stopped selling it so it’s neat to see this one and to learn about all the scraping tools to get started on and how to hold the tools, the names of the lathe parts, etc. Very educational and hopefully sometime I’ll find a way to make room for this model. Love the flathead screwdriver, a nice way to commemorate your Grandfather!!!
Darn it, now I want to try turning. 😂 You make it look so fun. I have a lot of other projects to complete before I start that. However it’s such a great video.
Wow, Drew, I can't believe just how easy you made that look, let alone how cool it turned out. That's one screwdriver handle i would end up displaying and never actually use as it's way too nice to drop and risk damaging😳😃. Awesome job on the turning, it looked like you've been doing it for years!!!. As alway's buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Looks great! Now I want to see you do the same thing with a Skew! Scraping tools are level one, skew's are level 10! Time to level up! (all joking aside, I love your videos and your humor! Well done on a first turning!)
I'm a machinist (my job is to machine mostly metal on lathes and CNC's) I never realised how different the lathes we use are to Peter brown's until this video. Like theres no banjo or tool rest. It's a centre stock, tool head and saddle
Well, this was great. I just got me a lathe too and will soon start using it. Glad to have come across this video. However I have regular tools not those carbon things they were out of my budget.
As a seventy year old lifelong woodworker, I still have a sizeable collection of slot head wood screws. My late father-in-law refinished furniture for decades, and I inherited his collection of often needed SH screws when he passed. I just can seem to part with them.
Hi Drew... Really great video.. very enjoyable... Welcome to the world of woodturning.. I wish that my 1st turning looked half as good as yours... Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
Wonderful starting video for many of us. Please consider a lathe cart video. So many designs. I think WMA Woodworks shows his in a shop tour. Good starting point for ideas because his homogenizes many popular designs nicely.

How do i get the bonus deal from Rockler where theyll send me a Peter Brown?!?!
Ask Drew's neighbour.
I’m wanting to start my journey down the wood turning world! How do I get Rockler to send me a free lathe and tools?!?!?
It's easy... just start a YT channel and work hard at it for 8yrs.
@@FishersShop Sounds like a lot of hard work; pass : P
It also helps if you build a podium for Peter’s friend the pastor and then deliver it to the other side of your state. 😉 this may be my favorite collaboration I’ve seen in years.
I can't wait to hear another youtube channel explain to me the micro-mesh system every time it is used!!
I can't do it like Peter does. I'll just copy-paste him doing it.
@@FishersShop honestly, keeping a running gag of Peter saying the micromesh bit whenever you use Micromesh would be pretty funny
as someone who has no knowledge of a lathe, and owns a lathe (used one I got a year or so ago) THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Having Peter brown as your teacher looks like one of the best ways to learn this skill.

Absolutely beautiful Drew!
Thanks so much. :)
What a fun project and video too! Thanks guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great addition to the shop! And the lathe is going to be useful too. - Chris
It sure will be!
I did a ton of turning in HS woodshop. I want one.
They're fun!
You guys worked together so well! I want Peter to teach me to how to do this!!
He's a great teacher!
What a great job from both of you guys, loved it and hope to see more from you two. Now, the next time, try some NEGATIVE Rack tools.
Great video - now we need a walnut trimmed lathe stand with some drawers and tool holders to go along with it!! I'd be in-line for those plans!! 😉
Yup. I'll definitely be making something along those lines.
Great job Drew, you look like a pro on your first try. I would love to try it too and with the two of you together it sure looks like fun!

Very jealous of that workshop, compared to my tiny 1.5m x 2m shed 👍
It's been fun building it out over the years
20:02 Ahhhh, the moment this whole vid was buildin up to; Peter Brown describin MicroMesh in the way only PB can :3
Haha, I told him that I know his routine by heart but I still wanted him to say it.
What's in the BOX?! great intro, and an awesome first turning!
Plus, I'm a spitting image of Brad Pitt, right?
That was an awesome video, showcasing excellent questions and answers. A++
Glad it was helpful!
Kudos for the, "Nah, we don't need a practice piece to turn, we'll jump right in with the good stuff". Nicely done.
Haha, I thought we'd turn all 8 but Peter was like, "We'll be lucky to finish 1... trust me"
The handle turned out great! I think this video has inched me that little bit closer to wanting to learn myself :)
Right on! Thanks for watching

Stunning screwdriver, Drew! Truly amazing work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! Will do!
Well done.
Thanks!
Awesome collab!
Thanks! It was fun!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a machinist (my job is to machine mostly metal on lathes and CNC's) I never realised how different the lathes we use are to Peter brown's until this video. Like theres no banjo or tool rest. It's a centre stock, tool head and saddle
Yeah, very different indeed! And there's really nothing precise about a woodworking lathe where as a machinist, you require it.
I loved the bit where you unboxed a Peter Brown.
It's like Christmas!
UA-cam did not Notify me when this video was published! How dare them! I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks! At least you still got to see it. :)
Well, this was great. I just got me a lathe too and will soon start using it. Glad to have come across this video. However I have regular tools not those carbon things they were out of my budget.
Glad it was helpful! I have some older tools too from my Grandfather. I look forward to using the old ones as well
As a seventy year old lifelong woodworker, I still have a sizeable collection of slot head wood screws. My late father-in-law refinished furniture for decades, and I inherited his collection of often needed SH screws when he passed. I just can seem to part with them.
Sounds like they all need to be cast in resin and turned into a large "screw" bowl!
Looks great
Thanks!
We love drew! Can't wait to add more coins to my walnut holder!!
Right on! We're designing this year's as we speak
Hi Drew...
Really great video.. very enjoyable...
Welcome to the world of woodturning..
I wish that my 1st turning looked half as good as yours...
Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
Thanks a bunch, Andy! I appreciate it
Congratulations, Drew. That looks great. I noticed Peter was wearing a Carl Jacobson shirt.

Another fantastic turner
Wonderful starting video for many of us. Please consider a lathe cart video. So many designs. I think WMA Woodworks shows his in a shop tour. Good starting point for ideas because his homogenizes many popular designs nicely.
I will check it out
