Beautiful work grandpa.
is Mr. Ernie Conover still going if so, Respect for your work and that toolbox in the corner. thank you sir. from west tn
Ernie that was a great video. I have been wanting to do some utensils for the wife and now I can give them a try. Keep up the good work.
I'm preparing to make some wood utensils so I watched this to see how other folks approach it. Great video, I definitely learned a few things.
Enjoyed this visit to your shop. Beautiful wood for the utensils.
They came from an exceptional plank of curly hard maple. In use the ones I made in the video are wearing like iron.
Nice tip with the square block for cutting with the bandsaw! Great way to avoid tipping over and kickback
Very good job, sir. Well done.
Thank you for the nice video! It was really helpful as I am about to try to make some spoons and spatulas on my new lathe!
Very nice project and video. Thank you.
Nicely done!
What finish oil did you use for those utensils?
Brilliant!
great video love it
I've made north of 100 spatulas and spoons because they sell well. Make them pretty much as you do with a few modifications I have learned. I dig the spoons out with "swing router" and can cut it out in three passes.
Cheers, Lee
Thanks, Lee. I have made many more spatulas than spoons, but since making the video I have thought about speeding up the spoon carving. The swing router is an excellent idea. I have though of drilling a cascade, big to small, of holes with Forstner bits. I think it would greatly reduce the grunt material removal that is just tiresome.
@@conoverworkshops1486 Look for a router that has the two handles come out level and not on an angle and unscrew the handles and use those threaded holes as the axis. I use a very large cove bit. I shape the bottom on a sander as you do.
@@Lee-qp6gf An easy sensible user made router station for speedy production. Thanks for sharing.
The sound of the video is very bad. Please what type of oil do you use? Happy watching your art 🌹
What a lovely man.
Really interesting, especially how tactile you are with the piece
Yes, lightly touching the surfaces tells me as much as my eyes. How smooth the surface is, if there is chatter and how accurate the taper of the handle is. Most good spindleturners do this but it should be done carefully at first, especially on an interrupted cut as in these treenware pieces.
Excellent information! Who makes that skew chisel? Ive never seen a dovetail shaped turning skew!
I want Ernie to be my friend. I know I could learn so much from him. What a great video, so much talent!
Show 👍
Excelente me gustan mucho sus máquinas y lo que hacen a propósito que marca de herramienta de tornería es buena?
Tengo dos Powermatics, una Oneway y una Robust que es el torno que utilizo en este video. No vaya barato en herramientas, compre acero de alta velocidad (M2 o M48). Las marcas inglesas (Sorby, Crown, Henry Taylor) son siempre fiables, pero hay algunos fabricantes norteamericanos que fabrican herramientas excepcionales: Doug Thompson, Carter & Son, Dway, Oneway y Robust. ¡Evite las herramientas de acero al carbono!
Well done it’s amazing ... who long it take real hours for tow units ?
many thanks in advance
I have had a lot of practice but I can do the turning in about 5 minutes. I spend much more time laying out and milling the blank and bandsawing and sanding off the lathe. I can make six sets in a couple of hours start to finish--then there is cleaning the shop.
Great video. You sure command the use of the lathe, it is fun to watch. For some reason I am intimidated by my lathe. I don’t use it much, I can’t sharpen my tools consequently there are always issues. Thanks again.
Sharp, good quality tools of the right shape are absolutely necessary. Most people find it hard to pick up turning from a book or even a video. A qualified instructor is really key, followed by a good amount of practice.
Thank you for this, want to be youtube friends?
I prefer that you subscribe, which has the benefit that you get an email when I post my American Woodworker Videos to the playlist on the Conover Workshop Video Chanel. You can also find many videos there that my wife Susan and i produce outside of WWJ.
I'm sorry . I wouldn't use them because they are works of art hanging on the wall.
