Really great work Tim. This is the first video I’ve seen that does a good job of showing and explaining how to dye wood. You make this so fun and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing your time.
Tim watching this video was impressive - definitely will try the color system technique. Also liked the hole saw ! What is the make of the hole saw - does it come in a set ( with and without center bit) thank you for your post - still working on Christmas gift list - this will give the pendents a step up.
your channel has now become my favorite turning channel. you make it simple to understand, yet you are fun enough to not make it boring. keep up the great work,
I have watched a lot of turning videos trying to get as many tips as I can get as a new turner, your videos have helped me more than all of the others on UA-cam. You provide a lot of very helpful tips in a very entertaining fashion. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks a billion...great explanations and visuals...I usually fall fast asleep on most video how to's...still wide awake and my woodworking abilities just went up 10 fold!
This is a very informative video and well done, too. I especially like explanations on how the grain and colors inter-relate. I acquired a big batch of 2" x 2" corian samples that make great pendants. I also use wipe-on poly for a finish.
Hi Tim, thank you for this excellent video. Although I've been turning for years, the tips that you gave us about using the hole drill and how to safely use it on the drill press is so important for me personally. I also appreciate the tips on using the hot air dryer and so many other items that you explained. You always do such an excellent job on your instruction videos. Thanks
Some days I regret that my English is so bad, your videos are so awesome, but even if I do not always understand everything you say, I can not get enough of it. Best greetings from Germany
Wow this is truly beautiful! I love watching your videos they're very interesting to watch and your commentary is very entertaining . Greetings from a German fan :)
best diy video i have seen i expected you to go to the end and not finish like so many do but you showed start to finish all i can say i THANK YOU i dont have a lathe but great video and you are a great guy for sharing may god bless you for being so cool
I use India ink from hobby lobby or Amazon it too comes in dozens of colors and is premixed. Great for tops too. Thanks Tim love your videos and the hole saw procedure is genius.
Love the video, and thank you for the instruction about how to approach the cuts with the woodgrain and so on. As a novice this type of information is so vital to me and others like me. Also, thanks for keeping your sense of humor :)
Great video Tim :) I'm in the middle of making a checkerboard set and this is just what I was thinking about doing for the checkers. Thanks for the How-To
Very nice pieces here, and I really like Bruce's pieces, especially that bowl/plate. This technique is commonly used by luthiers, especially for electric guitars. I'd recommend looking there on YT if you want more examples of using dyes and multi-layered finishes like this.
I love your videos. You're so much fun to watch and I also learn something new every time that I can put into practice in the workshop! These are beautiful, I'll be giving them a go for sure!
Such a beautiful I idea. I love the colours of the green one at the end! I love watching your videos, you're funny and I find the art of wood turning absolutely intriguing and beautiful, I always end up on your videos when I'm YT. You make some amazing pieces, keep at it :D
Very cool project. Wondering if it would be practical to finish the back as well if it’s going to be in contact with skin for some period of time? Sorry this is a comment on an old video!
Love your videos. Question for you - the dyes you use appear to be Mixol-based. What do you add the color pigment to for the undercoat (you say something about alcohol-based for that layer), and for the upper coats (water-based)? Is it just denatured alcohol, and water? Or is it something else?
Hi Tim, with the holidays coming up, this could be a great gift item. I appreciate your generous sharing post. I do have a question - what is the product name of the whole saw ? it has no center bit. ? - where did you purchase it.? Oops, That's three questions...
ah gosh absolutely stunning work! i'm no wood turner (although i dream to be one some day!) but it's so calming to watch you work and even joke around. you clearly enjoy your work and i love watching that enthusiasm! by chance, have you considered making a few batches of those pendants and selling them online? i'm so in love with the way these turned out and would like to wear your work! if not, i understand, this is a tutorial. i just don't have the tools to be making these myself as much as i would like! anyways, keep up the fantastic work!
wouldnt it be easier to turn a rod of sorts, round/bevel the edge, and cut that off in a thin disc for a pendant. in stead of using sticky tape to mount a small thing?
Hello Tim, I'm Nicolas from France, I love your videos! I was wondering if the other objects you presented were all finished with Wipe on Poly? I can't find it in France. Are there other alternatives for a nice shine? Thanks
Hi Tim, loved the video, but where do you get the hole saws from. The only ones I can find have a drill bit in the center which obviously leaves a hole in the center of the pendant.
@@duallygsd Thank you Tim, I am English but live on a holiday isle called Lanzarote off the coast of Africa in the Canary Isles, and everything is so difficult to buy as everything has to be imported, but is so expensive. I will try to get one. Many thanks Keith.
Awesome demo... I have loved your videos for such a long time on pbs.. sooo... back to the project... I'm thinking... Chess pieces.. and board........ hmmmm... wheels turning (pun intended)...
Hi Tim ! Many thanks for spending your precious time for making all these vids (which contains many advices for wood working), and also for sharing your precious expertise !! I'm a Belgian fan ... and sometimes I don't understand all what you (and all english speakers) are saying ... SO, I didn't understood what kind of wood you do use for making these pendants ... Can you tell me please ?
This was a great video and very informative. Regarding the bowls your friend Bruce provided: when dyeing the top rims of the bowls are there any issues with the dye bleeding down the sides? Or ways to limit the bleeding? Thanks again for the great videos!
excelente amigo tremendo video gracias me diste una buena entrada de dinero eso se vende mucho aqui la ente le gusta lo brillante gracias saludos desde venezuela
Tim, did Bruce use a resin to make his tinted items glow like they do, or was it a very hi-gloss urethane? I love your pendants and how you sanded back the black so it didn’t dominate the item! Excellent work my friend. Cheers, Sean
I am pretty sure it was hi-gloss. He might have even buffed them to finish the shine up. It was a few years ago so the old memory is a little lacking :^)
I've got an idea when you're cutting out blank just cut 3" wide strips on a table saw then run them thru a planer on both sides. Hot glue as many strips as you can cut with the hole saw in non cut areas just a few spots will do. I do it this way and turn out a couple hundred in a very short time. Works for me! If you want to know how I do the rest ask me hahaha.
To avoid sanding off fingernails against the sanding disk, try wrapping tape around the fingers, sticky side out. Or, use hotmelt glue to stick on a knob. (Oh, and when I went to school, red and yellow make orange, not green.)
Love your sense of humour. Pendants are beautiful, Thanks for sharing.
Really great work Tim. This is the first video I’ve seen that does a good job of showing and explaining how to dye wood. You make this so fun and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing your time.

Boy that was a while ago. I think it was a Milwaukee hole cutter. The drill bit is removable.
Thanks again Tim. Love your videos. Keep 'em comin'!
Spot on! This is how I stained guitars for a major company. Excellent information and humorous delivery!
your channel has now become my favorite turning channel. you make it simple to understand, yet you are fun enough to not make it boring. keep up the great work,

Totally agree
I love the finish on them.
Dirk van Straaten i agree.
Others just rush through and you have no idea how they got to the finish. Great vids.
Thanks, entertaining, informative and a pleasure to watch and listen to.
Thanks a billion...great explanations and visuals...I usually fall fast asleep on most video how to's...still wide awake and my woodworking abilities just went up 10 fold!
I've missed your show and am glad i found it again
Red & Yellow.. orange.. Yellow & Blue ... green. They would make great Christmas Ornaments !! As usual EXCELLET !!
This is a very informative video and well done, too. I especially like explanations on how the grain and colors inter-relate. I acquired a big batch of 2" x 2" corian samples that make great pendants. I also use wipe-on poly for a finish.
Thanks Tim. I've been trying to make some coloured wooden cabachons to go in the eye of sauraker shells and this technique worked out perfectly.
I love your passion Tim

Very cool project. Wondering if it would be practical to finish the back as well if it’s going to be in contact with skin for some period of time? Sorry this is a comment on an old video!

Great video as usual, all I need to do is find some suitable smalted timber then I can have a go. Thanks for the details.

Hi Tim, with the holidays coming up, this could be a great gift item.
I appreciate your generous sharing post.
I do have a question - what is the product name of the whole saw ? it has no center bit. ? - where did you purchase it.?
Oops, That's three questions...
Congratulations! Lazzarini from Brazil
nice video Tim. I tried some with normal food colouring and it turned out amazingly good.
ah gosh absolutely stunning work! i'm no wood turner (although i dream to be one some day!) but it's so calming to watch you work and even joke around. you clearly enjoy your work and i love watching that enthusiasm! by chance, have you considered making a few batches of those pendants and selling them online? i'm so in love with the way these turned out and would like to wear your work! if not, i understand, this is a tutorial. i just don't have the tools to be making these myself as much as i would like! anyways, keep up the fantastic work!
I really enjoy your jokes... You should have a TV show.. Natural born for the camera... Really...
Great channel, and I like your haircut too! Just subscribed. 😀
wouldnt it be easier to turn a rod of sorts, round/bevel the edge, and cut that off in a thin disc for a pendant. in stead of using sticky tape to mount a small thing?
Like your hair !!
Thanks for sharing
That's amazing... Question?what kind of color is that at 17.54.....?
in your video on turning pendants why do you start the base black with alcohol base dye and finish with water base? just starting turning pendants.
Hello, what is your finish product and the producer
Thank you for this video
Marc
I love it gonna make some
Hello Tim, I'm Nicolas from France, I love your videos! I was wondering if the other objects you presented were all finished with Wipe on Poly? I can't find it in France. Are there other alternatives for a nice shine? Thanks
Wipe on poly is regular polyurethane thinned down with mineral spirits. You should be able to make your own😊
Hi Tim, loved the video, but where do you get the hole saws from. The only ones I can find have a drill bit in the center which obviously leaves a hole in the center of the pendant.
Boy that was a while ago. I think that was a Milwaukee hole saw.

What's the outcome if all your dyes are alcohol based, does it make a difference?
Hi Pat. It makes no difference in the end. The only advantage of water-based dyes is a wider range of color choices.
Love the Pendants. Where did you get the double sided tape at and what is the name brand of the tape.
I can't remember the brand but I got it at Woodcraft
So It's just the wipe on poly that makes it so shiny? Thank you. Please say what is this poly exactly. Thanks
Nice job as always Tim! What do you think about mounting them off center and cutting grooves on the front of the pendant? Keep up the great work!
Something small very nice
Muy bonito compañero ideal para un regalo
Hi Tim !
Many thanks for spending your precious time for making all these vids (which contains many advices for wood working), and also for sharing your precious expertise !!
I'm a Belgian fan ... and sometimes I don't understand all what you (and all english speakers) are saying ...
SO, I didn't understood what kind of wood you do use for making these pendants ...
Can you tell me please ?
It is figured maple. Another name for it is quilted maple. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this fastier answer ! ;)
Also known as Tiger Maple as well?
How did that green turn out? More like orange i bet 😝😝 great video
This was a great video and very informative. Regarding the bowls your friend Bruce provided: when dyeing the top rims of the bowls are there any issues with the dye bleeding down the sides? Or ways to limit the bleeding? Thanks again for the great videos!
Wonderful.
Bellissime ,complimenti ! Mi Sa dire dove posso trovare codesta vernice lucida , che cos'è uns cera ? Grazie!
very nice
red and yellow makes orange
i got confused for a quick second.. haha
What grit is he taking the black off?
Fill the crack with a carrier and gilt. It will look beautiful. You can use a wax or some other medium. Bruce will still have a beautiful burl.
excelente amigo tremendo video gracias me diste una buena entrada de dinero eso se vende mucho aqui la ente le gusta lo brillante gracias saludos desde venezuela
wow, really pretty! :U
Love it
COOL!!!
What finish is Bob using to finish his work. I love the high gloss finish but have no idea how they do it
Tim, did Bruce use a resin to make his tinted items glow like they do, or was it a very hi-gloss urethane? I love your pendants and how you sanded back the black so it didn’t dominate the item! Excellent work my friend. Cheers, Sean
I am pretty sure it was hi-gloss. He might have even buffed them to finish the shine up. It was a few years ago so the old memory is a little lacking :^)
Is a dye better than a stain for some reason?
Are the calipers actually cutting or just used for measuring? I know some people use calipers for marking as well.
Hello Tim, great video! Can you give the part numbers from Rio Grand for the bails and magnetic necklace? Thank you.
What's the name of that pigments ??
Como e o nome desse produto exposto no video?
I've got an idea when you're cutting out blank just cut 3" wide strips on a table saw then run them thru a planer on both sides. Hot glue as many strips as you can cut with the hole saw in non cut areas just a few spots will do. I do it this way and turn out a couple hundred in a very short time. Works for me! If you want to know how I do the rest ask me hahaha.
something I plan to try
Great idea, I checked out the link, but could not find the rope with the magnet...are the assembled or is there one part no. For it??

What does M mean
How do you make them so shiny
To avoid sanding off fingernails against the sanding disk, try wrapping tape around the fingers, sticky side out. Or, use hotmelt glue to stick on a knob. (Oh, and when I went to school, red and yellow make orange, not green.)
where would I go to purchase those dyes? Is there a brand name?
Transtint from Woodcraft
did you ever make a salt and pepper shaker
