Id have to say my favorite wood so far to turn, is Olive Wood but it a close 2nd to Cherry. Olive wood smells like olives and that's just fun, bit it almost cuts like soap when using a sharp tool. Im sure ill find a new favorite, Iv only been turning for a year or so. I love my carter and sons tools, got them before I got the lathe and they were/are super helpful in emails giving me the benefit of their wisdom and experience. And you sir, make it look easy, 😅. Thx for the video, your a genuine artist.
Hello Mike. You are a great instructor. I am also left-handed and noticed you turn from the opposite side of the lathe. Do you have the motor in reverse when you do that? I was going to try it once at the Nevada Woodchucks club but they had a real fit.
If I wanted to make a box with a threaded lid, it seems intuitive that the tenon would need to be slightly larger than the mortise as opposed to using a suction fit…but by how much on the 16 TPI version. Would it be different in the 12 TPI version? 🤔
Great question! Like Mike mentioned at 12:09 and 13:09, you’re going to want to prep your male thread to be slightly larger in diameter than your female. Anywhere between .025” and .100” would be fine. But like Mike mentioned, there’s no real worry about an exact number. As you’re cutting the male threads, you’re going to be checking the fit with your already existing female thread. This would be the same approach for the 16 or the 12TPI! Happy turning!
This video fails as an instructional device in that VERY often the camera person placed the work off screen in favor of the face. I constantly wanted to pan over and down so I could see what was being done rather than the background!
@@KenWmo I’m not sure this was meant to be an instructional video since there were plenty of them on Mike’s personal page. I believe the intention of this video was more informative to let viewers know that his line of signature tools were available exclusively from Carter and Sons. Mike is a master bowl turner and possibly one of the top 5 in the world so there will be a lot of folks excited to see these high quality tools available again.
I appreciate your perspective, we’re always looking for ways to improve! We will keep this in mind for future videos especially when they’re geared more towards turning projects and techniques! Although this video dives a little bit into those topics, we mainly wanted to create a video to showcase the entire Mahoney signature line in one place and let Mike showcase each tool and demonstrate where they shine. Since the lineup covers such a variety of tools and types of turning, just for the sake of time in this video we’d be unable to really dive into the nitty-gritty of each project and tool. However, I’m hoping this is something we can do in individual videos in the near future! - Paul Carter
Thanks for watching! Have you had a chance to use one of Mike’s signature tools? If so, let us know which one is your favorite! Happy turning!😄

Perfect-Ish nothing is perfect but it looks Damn 👍 Good
The woodbeater gets used on pretty much everything that hits my lathe.

I bought one of their bowl turning kits! I have not regretted it! I turn mostly mesquite wood 🪵 and it it hard!
Glad to hear you're enjoying your tools! Thanks for watching!
