Thank You! Much appreciated. I've been bouncing around making some videos on saw milling and firewood but more woodturning to come. Thanks for commenting.
It was hard maple. My spoon template measures 14-1/4" long and the bowl portion is 2-5/16" wide. 3/4-1" material works fine, the material in the video is from a bandsaw mill approximately 7/8"
Looks like Arbortech also makes a ball gouge. Might be a bit safer for those new to carving. Love that you start on a lathe for the majority of your work. Very clever hold down clamp.
Thanks for bringing that up. I would like to get the Arbortech ball gouge, I think I could get some use out of it. The plus side to the wheel is I am using its diameter for the bowl portion with no overlap. The negative side is it could be extremely dangerous and not something for the inexperienced.
Fantastic job of tool control. I have been turning for 14 years and have not seen better. What was the tool you used on the handle? Spindle or bowl gouge or??
I like your no nonsense presentation style. Well done. Where did you get the1 inch post and plate to connect your hold down jig? I have never see this and I want one!
I am a bit of a steel worker too and obtained a length of 1" cold rolled steel and welded a piece of 1/4" plate to the top of it. Drill some holes for screws and screw it to a piece of (in this case) 2x4 lumber. Then I shaped it for the spoons I make. The hold down strap can apply lots of pressure, and works well for hand carving too. Thank you very much for commenting and subscribing. More to come, bear with me as I mix it up with saw milling and firewood gathering.
Very COOL, is your foot hold down clamp thingamagig inserted into the banjo via a dowl attached to the thingamagig or if not how is it held down to the Banjo. I think I want to make myself a "thingamagig" Also subscribed, thanks from a fello amature turner
Thanks for stopping by and yes, there is a 1" cold rolled steel pin welded to a small plate and screwed to the bottom of a 2x4. Locks in the banjo very solid wherever you want.
5:44...your camera is almost looking like the wood is warped and bowed...then I realized the one lathe bar was (at the top if you're looking at the video) was the same way. I didn't know if you knew that or not.
Very very nice. I really like the foot operated hold down clamp.❤
Thanks! I welded a piece of plate to the top of some 1" bar that fits the tool post. Really locks up well.
That’s a lot of work in each spoon. Glad you love working with wood.
Thank you for taking the time to make this ''inspiring video''!

Enjoyed the video. What type of wood was that? Maple? How thick was your blank 3/4" or 1" x 16" long? Thanks for sharing

A small spindle roughing gouge used as straight on as possible. Thanks for stopping by.
Well done. Easy to follow steps. I have lots of cut offs from the sawmill I could put to good use. Question, do you put any finish on the spoons?
I apply a coat of walnut oil. Thanks for taking the time.
Nice work. Really nice shop setup. If I can ask, what brand is that air fed hood you’re using? I really like that.
It is a 3m Versaflow. An expensive item that I don't regret buying. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice work and easy to follow, thanks. Do you soak them water then finish sand them? Do you put oil or any finish on them?
Yes, I fully wet them in an attempt to fully subjugate the grain raising, a final wipe with cloth backed paper, then walnut oil.
Great job and very inspiring!! This is on my must try list. What brand electric pen are you using?
My woodburner unit is a Burnmaster Eagle 2 port, and the pen was an old Detailmaster fine point, fixed tip. Thanks for stopping by!

I've never done food grade products before. But what kind of finish can you use on that spoon for liquid
I used walnut oil. Thanks for stopping by.

O I see you answered my question in one of the below comments, thanks

You didn’t mention what (food safe) finish you use or your opinion on the various options in that regard. Please let us know…
Thanks for bringing that up! I use walnut oil most of the time.
👏👏👏

I'm using a cheap go pro type camera that I think has some adjustments for that. I'm learning! Thanks for stopping by.
@@hayesrutherford9415 you bet..any time. You have a new subscriber...it's great to see people wanting feedback and learning from them.
Spatulas...can we see a video with that?
That's a great idea, I'll see what I can do.
If you get this reply, I made the spatula video!
@@hayesrutherford9415 OK, I'll look for it.
Hİ...GOOD JOB...
Thank you! I'm hoping to make more videos but building a house at present.
@@hayesrutherford9415 my canal is name koca baba ...tanks
And why would you want to do that?
Make a wood spoon?
