I’m a young 65-year-old and I just got into Woodturning. I wanted to thank you for your great advice about “crying once”. I plan on taking you up on that idea. Besides, it will be great watching my kids fight over my tools, when I’m gone! Thanks again.
Awww cool, it’s a meat tenderizer. Love it. It’s beautiful. I don’t know nothing about carbide or traditional tools, but from listening to stuff that you have said, being ready to use right out of the box, I think that is a pretty cool place to start. Also, and this is just my observation, carbide is better when working with resin, but again, just an observation. Buy once cry once, is only a good idea for people that have the money and KNOW what to buy. But for people that have just stumbled on something new, and I think you mentioned this, getting tools when you come across an issue and have nothing to do the job, a necessity, if you will, then that is when you will go and purchase a new tool. Sometimes it’s good, and sometimes you learn that it isn’t. I think, knowledge of “good” tools comes with time, just like skill. And that’s all I got to say about that. 😉 🔥💚🔥💚🔥
Jake, I hear you on buying the tool you need for the job. I have a lot of tools that are used rarely, but when needed, they are worth their weight in gold!! I used to be on the Traditional turning tools side of the fence. I used to think carbide tools weren't wood turning, they were woodscraping. They kinda are, but they sure do have their place and od a great job. I haven't turned much "just wood" items lately and haven't used my traditional tools for a while. Carbide tools have been my go-to tools. Both have their place, but with all the resin and hybrid turning I have been doing (Thanks to you!! 🙂), I have discovered how good carbide tools are. That Meat Hammer looks amazing!! Great work, as always!!
Great rules to live by! That carbide tool and cutter really performed flawlessly. Carbide tools are my go-to tools now although I learned on traditional tools.
I am a new woodturner and I bought only carbide tools. I have the easy wood tools now but started with a cheap Amazon set to see if I even enjoyed turning.
Tis a beaut, sir! That burl's got some crazy nice figure, and the clear resin kinda makes it look like surrealist-esque cubes of trees falling from the sky or some such. My original approach to getting more stuff was the shop pays for the shop, in that if I wanted some fancy tool or some specific supplies, well I just had to make more stuff to sell to get it. Turns out I haven't sold anything I've made, I've just given them away, so that route doesn't seem to lead to more tools lol Maybe one of these days I'll actually start selling stuff!
Lord Skitcherton, what a fabulous interpretation of the whacker. Now when I look at it, I will see trees falling from the sky. Awesome! Thank you for that visual. 🥰
Great video and beautiful project! I love the ease of use that carbide tools provide. As for buying tools…If I can afford it, I buys what is best (depending on the research I have done). Of If I can’t afford the best, I wait or buy a lower quality tool in the interim. 💙💪🏼
Buy cheap tools to learn to sharpen (traditional tools) but when one has that down the expensive tools are usually better (I still use two HF scrapers I have repurposed the rest). I don't care carbide tools will always have a place in my shop and I use them often, even on wood projects not just for resin work. My 2 cents worth!
Yes, only one cutting tool was used. But you also needed the mandrel, the drill, the drill chuck, the Forstner bit, and the lathe. And a sanding/finishing system for resin. As to carbide vs traditional tools, carbides have the advantage for hollowing better in deeper hollow turnings. Much like a point and shoot camera vs a full featured camera, each has a different learning curve and a limit on what can be accomplished without additional training. I have yet to see advanced spindle turning done with carbide bit tools. Is it possible? I have used both, and find I can not get the same controlled cuts with the carbide that I can get with skew and gouge once I learned how to correctly use them.
Nice turn, Jake. Love how the clear looks. On another note, I know you like using Alumilite Clear Slow, and I was really big on it as well, based on seeing your success using it. However, the product of late seems to have changed. For years, I used it with great results. Now, over the past 6-9 months, the ACS I've been getting has been turning dark yellow! I'm really concerned. I used Alumilite for years, never having this problem. Are you experiencing this problem too? Thanks, V
Thank you.. I have noticed some of the .. I think B side comes a little yellow.. or turns yellow before use.. I don’t think it matters if you are using color.. maybe I should use some that has yellowed and pour a clear cast and see what the results are.. that being said I really haven’t went out of my way to use resin that hasn’t yellowed at all to do a clear cast. I just use the resin that is open and I haven’t had any bad or yellowed casts… of course I don’t have any resin sets that have yellowed terribly..
Good looking tenderizer Jake.
Thank you Paul 🦾
love the philosophy matched with the turning
Thank you Kimberly ❤️🦾
Man that is beautiful. I'm not a traditional tool guy personally. Don't care much for them. Just my opinion of course. Very nice work Jake.
Thank you Martin 🦾🦾🦾

@@JakeThompson Thank you, Jake. I will have fun with my meat whacker. 😂🤣

Sweet turning meat whacker, Love the way this video was produced!!!
Thanks Buddy 🦾🦾🦾🦾
Very good video Jake , you are right with the "buy once cry once " i seem to cry a lot along with my wallet, but its worth it 100%.
😂😂😂😂 Right 🦾

Thank you Robert.. well said 🦾🦾🦾
great video Jake, im off to check out that Glowing Instructional video now for sure after this one :)
Thanks Mate 🦾🦾🦾🦾

Thank you Lewis 👍👍
Great tutorial and tool buying guide-to-live-by. And the burl wood in clear resin looks AMAZING! 💯🔥🧡
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love that handle. Not the normal made from wood. That one can be washed and used.
Thank you.. glad you like it 👍
So cool! I really like that chuck!
I love it.. thank you Steve 🦾
Great piece. Love the tips for tool buying.🔥🔥
Thank you Joey 🦾🦾

Thank you Jonathan .. I’m glad I went down the path I have with turning.

I think we all suffer from the same problem.. we all like to give out stuff away 😀😂🦆

That's a great video Jake 👍👍👍

Nice
👍👍👍🦾
I started using carbide and have never learned to use regular tools.
Thank you John 👍👍
I like tools. Sometimes you need to go with the cheap one to figure out what you like and what you need. I’ve had some cheap tools save my butt.
Thank you John-Boy.. sometimes those cheap tools have to save some hide. 🦾🦾

You can sharpen your carbide bits. Get a diamond card and run a figure 8 with the bit facing down.
Thank you.., glad you enjoyed. 👍👍

I have the same rule. If I ever borrow something twice I need to buy it! I hate when people constantly ask to borrow the same tool from me.
It does get annoying and I didn’t want to be that guy..
