You are the first turner that I have subscribed to. I have watched many on u-tube. I am 78 years old and just bought my first lathe. When I was 13 my grandfather had me turning out legs and supprt pieces for his straight back and latter back rocking chairs. I have decided to try again, being a teenager I should have paid more attention. I am really interested to know the contents of your conditioner. and one other question. How do I keep my tenon of the piece I am working on in the chuck. No matter how hard I tighten it it comes out. Than you in advance. Great work by the way.
Well thank you Tommy! I feel honored! I appreciate that! The bottle is my mix of friction polish. I mix 2 parts shellac, and 1 part each of denatured alcohol and either mineral oil or boiled linseed oil. You can also use other oils like walnut oil. On the jaws of your chuck there is a dovetail angle. You want to make that same angle on the tenon of the wood so they match. Also close your jaws then open them slightly so there is a little space between the jaws. No more then 1/4 inch. That's the diameter you want the tenon. I make my tenons about 3/8 of an inch long. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for the sub and watching.🙏
Was that mineral oil that mineral oil that gave it a shiny look? I just bought a lathe and made a goblet, but the mineral oil just looks dull with no shine to it and I wanted to know what would be safe to use and give it the shine? Great work and it look beautiful!
It looks like you and the skew are old friends, while I am still getting to know mine. Your goblet looks great. Do you have any suggestions for food safe finishes that are durable? I am still trying to find something other than walnut oil and wax. Keep well, Rob
Thank you Rob. I had my problems with the skew until I understood how to use it. Learning the skew is all about using the bevel. As far as a durable food safe finish, I use shellac. I mix it as a friction polish. Equal parts of shellac, mineral oil, and denatured alcohol. You could use walnut oil if you want a darker finish. It's quick and easy and leaves a nice finish. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Rus.
Thank you. Most of what I sell is local. I sell to a restaurant and a floral shop. I've been getting special requests from some of their customers. I'm not trying to sell to much because I don't have that much time to commit at the moment. Thanks for watching. Rc.
The wood you are turning, you call it construction lumber, does that mean the lumber is Pressured treated? I was advised to never use pressure treated lumber. Is your wood pressured treated?
Superb, and the first one of these I've seen where the inside wasn't drilled, but you did use my nemesis... the skew.
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you Glen!
Appreciate you watching!

Beautiful goblet!
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Excelente trabajo 👌 saludos
Thank you. I appreciate that 🙏.
I really love watching spindle turning! Great skew work!
Thank you. I used to hate the skew. Now I love it.
Nice work. I have done several end grain grain vases. They are easier foe me with ez tools hollower.
Thanks. That's a good tool to use.
Beautiful! Nice job!
Thank you Norm 🙏. I appreciate that.
Beautiful shape! I definitely need practice with the end grain! I might just have to make one of them too!
Thank you Heather. There's lots of videos on turning end grain. I may do one sometime. Thank you.
Nice one
Thanks Doug. I appreciate that.
Question, why do you put stain on the inside before it’s all finished why not finish it then stain it all?
It can be done either way. I've just always done it this way.
@@RcWoodturning huh interesting I’ve just never seen it done this way before
Lovely goblet mate well done 👏
Thanks Barry. I appreciate that. 🙏

Thank you. I use mineral oil mixed with shellac and denatured alcohol. The shellac give it the shine.
Cool
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Hi Rus, Lovely looking goblet and from FOG Wood as well. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw. I've been meaning to ask. What is the meaning of FOG wood?
@@RcWoodturning Found On the Ground
Thanks. Now I don't feel so dumb.
@@RcWoodturning I did as well when I asked. LOL
I have some driftwood. I guess that would be FOB wood?
nice
Thank you Glenn.

What’s the stuff in the bottle?
Friction polish.
@@RcWoodturning thanks I use beeswax’s
@@denvermiller3780 beeswax is good. I use it over the friction polish on some of my projects.
That looks very nice! Especially for a 4x4! Great job, Rc. Where do you sell your pieces?

@@RcWoodturning I may have already asked you that before, it's getting harder to keep track. lol
I know what you mean. I keep going to my shop because I can't remember if I locked the door. LOL
What do you use to burn your groove
@@stevewest8308 I use bailing wire.

It's regular wood. Not pressure treated.
Perfect!!
Thank you.
