Woodturning - A Little Something Different
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a slab of kiln dried oak into a small three legged stool for my son.
When woodturning a piece like i find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl (little bowl) but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

Perfect. A bloke in his workshop making something and no music. Most enjoyable.
Much appreciated Jeff. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Refreshing isn’t it. Great work
Even when there's music, it's not music.More like junk that can distort your concentration.
How about the Doors, Break on Through to the Other Side? Which he shouldn't have done. How daft.
@@johnbishop5316 John, please cope harder.
I still can’t imagine turning a square without cutting off the corners first. Amazing
I shouted NOOO! when I saw that!
Same thought.
For the life of me, I cannot grasp why folks ever do this. There are zero good reasons. Time? Much much quicker chopping corners off. In fact cutting, and even sanding to even more round I’d still way faster. Skill? Nah, no skills needed to work extremely unsafe. Easier? In no way is it easier bearing down on tool rest while feathering in tools just to stay away from the hospital.
Please for the love of god!!! Someone give me a good reason.
😂
I’v gone into depth on this topic a number of times so for this ones il keep it brief.. Bandsaws (the likely choice for that cut), take setting up for particular types of cuts.. Mine is set up for rip (long straight) cuts 90% of the time. My lathe which is the machine I use all day every day, about 60 hours per week is designed for making wooden things round.. For me it takes around 45 seconds to take this small piece of wood from square to round. It’s safe, efficient and is the best use of my time. When you consider that no matter what I did to prep this blank I’d still have to mount the piece on the lathe to true it up.. It makes no sense to do an action before that to save time unless that action took me less than say 30 seconds.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Great video, best part.... no unpleasant music, just that great sound of woodworking.
Exactly! Music is far too subjective, you can listen to whatever you want while you watch. 👍🏻😉👍🏻
great
In junior high and high school I absolutely LOVED woodworking. Took every class available,plus a self study to build a. Major project. The lathe was, by far, my favorite shop tool. I could turn things for hours. Great stuff.
Do you still get chance to do much turning now Bryan? Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning no, I haven’t done any in decades. It’s fun ti live vicariously thru you, here though.
wow
Endlessly you can look at how water flows, fire burns and another person works))
😊😊👍🏻👍🏻🙌🙌👌🏻👌🏻
I'm just a person who UA-cam has directed to your channel, I have no skills with wood, but I do very much appreciate watching an expert at his craft.
The darker wood for wedges was a nice touch.
I would love to learn this skill, but at 66 and recovering from a broken wrist, I'll just stick to watching you videos. Thanks.
How did you break your wrist T?
@@JackMackWoodturning walking the dog, 5.15am, beautiful morning and admiring the star's, no breeze.
Not paying attention to the dog, he dashed away, I held onto the lead. Got swung around, landed on wrist.
Still holding on to lead.
No one's fault, but carried on with walk, holding a torch in damaged hand, dog lead in other.
Finished another 5km over dangerous terrain, then had to wait 2 hour's for the local a&e to open.
I love it. As soon as you made the marks for the holes, i knew what it was going to be.
OMG!
I never thought to live long enough to see a woodturning video that was not a bowl or vase.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Cosmo. If you liked the stool, I think you will love this one:

Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning indeed I loved it.
Thanks.
I love watching sawdust fly, especially in slomo! It’s like snow without the cold! 😉
What a nice image. Sure there is an idea for a video in there somewhere 😉👍🏻
Finally! A wood turner who concentrates on the imbalance of the piece, before the form!
My son was in the orchestra and played base. I made him a stool once like that back about 20 years ago. Lathes are super cool tools. I used to make baseball bats for the kids. I made one 40 inches long once. Called it the Babe Ruth. Thanks.
This is lovely. I love the face that we can make things for our kids. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Great to see someone who shows that he really can turn by not using those xxx carbide tools continuously - and agree, no irritating, monotonous music.
Are there people calling themselves woodturners who use those awful things ?
I have done this. After I draw my target circle I cut the corners off in the bandsaw. Much faster and easier on the equipment.

@@JackMackWoodturning I have to admit I was thinking like Will, but your explanation makes perfect sense when you think about time. Great channel and inspirational work.
@@JackMackWoodturning this brief explain a lot, thanks 😀
If that way makes sense for your situation, great, but Ill continue to either spend 30 seconds on a band saw cutting the circle close (Im lucky enough to have a table saw for ripping, my band saw is for curves.) or at least cutting off the corners into a hexagon. Yes, it's an extra step, A. I hate interrupted cuts on the lathe, it just feels unpleasant. B. I like variety I'd rather do 2 steps for 5 minutes each than one for 10 minutes C. I really do not enjoy sharpening lathe tools. Not really a right or wrong just what works for a person.
You can still cut the corners off with just any bandsaw blade no matter what it’s setup for. Just laziness and unsafe practices.
Great job! It's almost hypnotizing watching someone woodwork. Just watching is what originally got me in to the craft/trade.
I couldn’t agree more TJ. It is hypnotic isn’t it. Glad you liked it man. 😁👍🏻
I cannot watch anything without doing something with my hands at the same time. But when I watch these videos, especially well made ones with no yapping and music, then I don’t need to do anything else… just enjoy it.
Glad to hear it P. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
That is a very cool quartersaw white oak stool💪💪💪🪑🚪🪚🔨📐🇺🇸🙏👨🏻🦯👨🏻🦯
Nice one Scott! 😁👍🏻😉
11:17 That's a good technique for wiping your stool!
He he he 😂👍🏻😉
I love the nice little details. Like making sure the wedges were perpendicular to the grain for strength. And the way you get that polish finish when turning!
Well spotted Chris. You know your wood. Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
What a cute little table for a cute little kid.
😊👍🏻
I started the video to check it out... 12 minutes later and im still here. Good stuff
Well, happy days.. glad you enjoyed it my friend
4 bits of wood can make something so simple and elegant. 👌🏻
😊
This is exactly why I am interested in beginning wood turning, to be able to make things for my future grandkids. I figure if I start now I may at least have some idea of what I'm doing when they are born. My kids are only 16(son) and 14(girl) so hopefully I have plenty of time to learn. 😉
Cheers Rick. I appreciate you watching.
I love this comment.. it sounds to me like THE most perfect reason to get into wood turning.
I can’t recommend it more as a hobby, you get instant results,, but the path of learning woodturing is a fascinating one too.. it’s very more’ish. In the next 10 years you could be a master at the craft. There’s no time like the present.
Feel free to fire any questions at me as you start your journey.
Enjoy 😊👍🏻

I subbed just because of this comment.
Fickle, please listen up, you need to be VERY GLAD you will have grandkids because my only blood son went down that damn gay road. I wish you all the best sir, but please be grateful.
It’s lovely to here your sons so happy Chuck. 😊
I learned more from your non-verbal video than I have from many verbal ones. You have amazing techniques. I love how you handle your lathe tools.
Much appreciated FKP. Glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
I like the trick of burnishing the wood with the shavings
That looks like such a great footrest, or stool for a child. The oil really made the grain pop. Lovely.
I made it for my son but he is outgrowing it already! I think I will buy a cow and use it for milking. 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning There ya go! Always have a backup plan.
I would have never dared turning down a square. Masterful work. Love it.
Thanks PF. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😉
I really loved the part where you used the wood shavings to smooth out and polish the legs. I’ve not seen that done before. It was really effective! Thanks for the great video 😀
Thank you. That process is referred to as burnishing. It can also be done with fine wire wool if the shaving are not suitable.
I appreciate you watching.
came here for this comment and the response. i assumed it was called burnishing, but wasn't sure if there might be a separate term due to the method. absolutely brilliant
@@JackMackWoodturning so that is just a handful of the shavings from the pile? Or is it a mixture from several different pieces?
My dad, who is approaching 86, used to do that all the time when using his lathe. Maybe an older skill. However, I learnt from my dad, so I do it as well.......
Nice stool. A design feature I like is to taper the legs from some point along their length down to where they touch the floor. This gives the stool a graceful look.
UA-cam ( our Pekingese in lots of snow ) is a delightful video Take care
Thanks C. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻☺️😉
Fabricating made hand items for the little ones always brings such joy. Great video even better item for the little man
😍👍🏻
I can really feel the chips in my eyes. 3:08 points for the immersive experience.
Haha thanks SE. Make sure you always wear your safety glasses. Thanks for 😁👍🏻
Hi Jack, thank you to remember us that wood turning was first an utilitarian use. 😉👍
No problem Jean-Louis. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😉
Certainly a level of ability to aspire to!
Always amazing to see craftsmen creating art and functional pieces!
Cheers Buckshot. Glad you enjoyed it man ☺️👍🏻
Учите русский язык мы вас научим делать лучше этого дуралея. Шипов на видимой части изделия быть не должно.
Inspiring little step stool! Can’t wait to try this on my own. Thanks for posting it.
No problem Nick. Let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
I can't even imagine the delicate touch and years of experience that you'd have to have to turn a piece that has holes in it without fucking it up. incredible video! thanks!
Haha nice one man. What is septic sauce? 😂
Very nice, anyway fun to see somebody take raw material and make something with it. It's amazing how the varnish brings out the inherent beauty of the material in the end
Much appreciated Nochtczar. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Beautiful piece! A child's heirloom stool built by Dad. Nice to see it still being done. The video was very satisfying to watch. Thank you for no music.
Don't waste oak trim. Cut off corners and use as pen blanks or with resin.
Thanks for the kind words. I don’t make pens. I find them to be the most boring and simple things anyone could ever make on a lathe. It bores the arse off me just thinking about turning a pen.
I don’t cut corners off one off pieces because iv been turning for more years than I care to say and iv learnt that “saving” little scraps of wood is utterly pointless and leads to a very messy workshop. Shavings on the other hand have so many uses. I do absolutely keep off cuts from nice wood, but I’d absolutely not ever turn two simple pipes to attach to a pre made pen body kit. I literally can’t think of anything less rewarding and more boring 😆
I am learning as much from your responses to comments as from the original video. Thank you for responding to comments with sincerity and patience!
Thanks Barry, I try to most the time but sometimes I loose my cool a little. Where possible I try to share my years of experience with those who want to learn.
Always happy to answer any questions you might have
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
You show a level of casual comfort with your machines that makes me fear for your safety.
Probs best not to watch my videos then ?
@@JackMackWoodturning Why? It's not like you're going to post the one where you lose a hand.
I've never seen that sanding with the woods own shavings technique before that's pretty cool
That process is called burnishing, it can be done with fine wire wool or shavings from the same piece of wood. It has to be done after the correct sanding steps but In essence it gives the last polish/shine to the wood before applying finish.
@@JackMackWoodturning that's very interesting! Thanks for the tip
Very pleased to see you still have fingers .
👋🏻👍🏻😊
Beautiful! It's amazing how a craftsman can look at some assorted wood and see a beautiful piece of furniture.
Cheers Michael. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 😉👍🏻
Beautiful work, fabulous explanations to Qs in comments. May your son get much use & pleasure from the stool. Made with 🧡.
Thank you JHF, that means a lot. 😊👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant - boy would I like a little workshop like that. Above all I’d like his skill to even do anything!
Nice one RP. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😊😉
Really nice! Picked up a wood lathe yesterday 2nd hand with a crap ton of tools. Also, I wish he would have turn all the wedges in the top of legs to where they are all pointing inward towards the center of stool. Would have added just that tiny extra custom touch of detail
Cheers Matt.. lots of people say that about the wedges but if you were
To put a wedge into a wood In any way other than perpendicular to the grain of the seat you risk splitting the top, worse still wood compresses when force is applied to side grain, meaning over time that joint would definitely fail.
The extra touches of detail in wood working come from knowledge my friend.. not style over substance 🤙🏻
Imagine going to a physician for an appointment with this. "Ok Doc, I brought you a stool sample".
😂😂
Doctor: “your stool is so smooth and shiny” 😂
😂😂😂
Man that'd be a crap joke
He'd say lay off the fiber.
I didn't expect that he would turn square into round amazing 👍
❣️🥰 Love from India 🇮🇳🥰❣️
Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Cool! Jack ROOOOLS!
Haha thanks T. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful result. Liked the thumbnail too, made me think "what could possibly go wrong"
Thanks Dan. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😁
As a machinist, this terrified me when I saw him put the chisel to the turning corners with his hand, big no-no when working with metal, especially with those corners so far out from the center. But I guess with wood it's fine, as this guy's hand isn't missing like it would be with metal. 😅
Just as well it is oak and not steel 😁👍🏻😉
No, it's not okay even though it's wood. Bad habits make for bad injuries.
It’s not a bad habit matey. It’s a completely safe practice. Stick to what you know eh 👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning yeah, I figured as much if you were doing it, it just scared me at first is all I'm saying
@@gabrielp1306 understandable mate. But I assure you it’s not dangerous, it is if you pop your finger in there but it goes with out saying that you don’t cross the line of the toolrest.
Turning a square this size is not different than a circle of a larger size.
Check out this video to see what I mean.

Cheers 😊👍🏻
There's that stool sample my Dr. wants!!
He he he
Hopefully that will be a piece that will be passed down from generation to generation and also the skill set along the way!
Me too, I’m sure the stool will but I can’t say for sure my son will want to turn wood. It would be nice if he did 😊
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
I love how this is really all just a virtual object in the worker's head, slowly coming out of thought and into the real world. I'm amazed at the precision just from freehanding. :-)
Thanks NR. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
I didn't know what I was signing up for when I clicked this video but I'm really glad I did. It was fascinating watching the piece come together and eventually figuring out what you were making! Really great work.
Nice one TCC. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching ☺️👍🏻
That’s so wholesome man.
Tank you my friend jacka 😘 ilvoe 💕and very good 👍 and very nice 👏 and Quality 👌 and clean
😁
Главное чтобы маленький заказчик был доволен! 🙂
Simply beautiful. Love the quarter sawn wood.
Thanks, I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
My 6 year old daughter loved watching this haha.
That’s awesome, all my kids will watch on UA-cam is this
ua-cam.com/video/nnxctcYoYsc/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching guys 👍🏻
I can’t stop watching this stuff.
Well that’s good to hear! Glad you enjoyed it matey 😂👍🏻
Piece of hand made furniture that looks just amazing. Great job!
Nice one Chris. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
So glad we have woodturning as a class, so fun.
That is amazing. My school had Design Tech but it mostly consisted of people standing over sinks, having competitions who could make the biggest ball of solder. 🤣
@@JackMackWoodturning haha that's hilarious. Our school doesn't have much cool stuff going for it but we got a wood shop teacher that has 12 lathes and an alcohol addiction. He's an awesome guy, doesn't drink like he used to. Completely random 😂
Gut, daß mal die Arbeit aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven gezeigt wird. 👍
Sorry I have no way of translating this
Wow, a three legged stool. Amazing. How has mankind survived without this?. My life was incomplete. I'm soooo glad this was not a complete waste of time!
Awesome man me too. It would be awful if you had don’t something that was a waste of time.
3 legged stools are about the oldest piece of furniture going.. so there another thing you gained from this..
Happy days eh 😘
Great idea and design. I really liked how you used the ebony shims for decoration and strength. I will try this one out. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Ralph, much appreciated, 😁👍🏻
WHAT A PERFECTION, CRAFTSMANSHIP !!
👌👌👍👍 WOW.
😊👍🏻 thanks for watching
The way that wood grain shines at opposite angles is mesmerizing.
Thanks Gregory. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁👍🏻
Thats called chatoyance if i remember correctly.
Whew! After a rough start, it 'turned' out nice!
What rough start ?
@@JackMackWoodturning : Started off sounding like B-R-R-R-R-T before it rounded off and the sound smoothed out!
Expert hands...! Fine result, too!
Oh the sound. Cheers bud. Glad you enjoyed watching
@@JackMackWoodturning : Same here- glad I watched... Just subbed, and now I have some catching up to do!
Keep doing what you love!
That was very interesting to watch, thats a stool which will last a very long time. beautifully done. I would say you have mastered it.
Thanks Maxine. That was the plan, hopefully my grandkids, grandkids, grandkids will sit on it one day. 😁👍🏻😉
Somebody's going to be happy with that present
Yeah he loved it. 😊
Thanks for watching Judith
That's a beautiful Tuffet! 😊
Good looking stool. Wasn't what the thumb nail showed. Thought i might learn something new. Good looking stool none the less.
Glad you like the stool Sheldon, sorry you didn’t learn anything. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Love the finished touch with the dark pieces for wedges, sets it off beautifully. Cheers from NZ👍
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it man 👍🏻😉
Great work and design that respects the natural beauty of the wood.
Nice one BB. I’m glad you think so. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
Playback Speed 1x: Chill 😎
Playback Speed 2x: Intense 🤯
Haha. Hope you enjoyed it CT. Thanks for watching 😉😊👍🏻
I love the fact you turning the entire stool💯💯💯
Nice one Sappho. What do you design?
2:20 this has to be one of the coolest sounds I've herd this week.
This would look great in our nursery.
Thanks Jane. 🤔 😜
The Arc of Promise at the end is a great visual, straight from God. Amen
Peace be with you and good will to all men 🙏🙌👍🏻😁
Wow, everyone is a critic! I think you are an amazing craftsman!
Beautiful! Next time you might point the wedges diagonally in toward the center so they are symmetrical.
Seriously. All that work and just one detail missing.
This would create a weak stool James. I built it to last. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning hello, not a wood worker here, how would that affect the strength of the chair? Grain structures not lining up?
@@madhattermd1 you have to put the wedges in going perpendicular to the grain so it won’t force the grain apart over time
there’s gotta be better words to describe it but i can’t word right now, too early
@@mikieswart made sense to me!
I liked a lot this project. Exelent made!
Thanks. I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
I thought the video was complete, until I seen the sweet sweet baby.
Congratulations!
I did wood work toys for my children that they plan in handing down to their children (when they have some)
I do counted cross stitching as well to keep the fingers working.
I will still do wooden toys for when I do have grand babies, but until then, cross stitch’s for my adult kids👍🏼🙂
Thats great to hear DJ. No better feeling than building something for your family that you know will last many lifetimes. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Three legs never stood so proudly!
Thanks Lou. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😊😉
The craftsmanship and attention to detail are so impressive. Beautiful work!
Nice one B. Love the tux!
Masterpiece!❤
Thanks Ye! Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
Ну да мастерство не пропьешь... ... здоровья!!!!
Ahhhhh you made a "Luca széke"! Greetings from Hungary!
Hi Drake, I can only assume that translates to little stool? Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Absolutely lovely. An heirloom that should last generations.
And here I thought you had cows to milk. :) (But that would typically be a one-legged stool.)
Thanks Jim, I appreciate you watching. 😊👍🏻
hahaha...c'est ce que j'ai aussi pensé...cela s'appelle dans mon pays un botte-cul
Your attention to detail is refreshing to watch. Thank you for your quality workmanship!
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it

Nice seeing someone using more traditional lathe tools. Most videos these days are all about carbide cutters. I can’t remember the last time I saw a skew being used. (Although it’s one of my favorite tools) Well done
Much appreciated Mark. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻😉😊
Hey, this is a good stool sample!
Wow. your that first to say that .. 😆
Уважаемый автор, будь осторожен, все же не стоит так доталкивать пальцами между пилой, на счет этого я даже по ту сторону экрана был в ужасе. Это же очень опасно.
I so enjoy your channel. That finish you added by using the wood shavings I had no idea that was done. Oh, and thanks for not saying in the title what you’re making. I really enjoy figuring it out as you go. 👍
Cheers Sandy. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
Молодець! Навіть якось відчувається теплий запах дерева і тирси!
That will be the future. Smellevision 🤣👍🏻
This is like visual ASMR to me.
That’s good. Have you watched my other videos? You’ll love them
Good job! Ignore all the wannabes trying to critique your methods, it was a great project done well.
Cheers fella. I often make the mistake of trying to correct them or explain why the suggestion they made was a thought I’d had and decided against.
Id like to think there is room to educate but i can tell there are a small number of people who are just out to disagree with anything that is said. It’s quite sad really.
Aaaaaany way. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Beautiful it is getting hard to get quarter sawn lumber without paying an arm and a leg for it you made good use of the small piece y you had 👍
Iv got tons of it bill. Generally I cut and dry it myself and they tend to be short boards. But it’s also readily available from suppliers round here too.
Seems all timber is shooting up in price at the moment too, but isn’t it always 🙄
Cheers for watching 😊👍🏻
a pleasure to look at!
Nice one Book. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
