Woodturning - Don't Try This At Home
In this woodworking and carpentry video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a cherry log into a risky natural edge platter. Please don't try this at home.

I'm not going to try this at home, my wife gets all edgy about wood chips in the dining room. But I will give it a go in the shop. Thanks Jack, Jack
Haha indeed jack.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

As a metal lathe machinist I have huge respect for wood lathe machinists. Machining is difficult in the best of times and these guys do everything by hand. Very impressive
Thanks dude glad you enjoyed it
Having used a metal lathe like 5 times and concluding it requires black magic this is fucking mad awesome
Agreed 100% absolutely
Thank you 😊👍🏻
Я тоже токарь по металлу,хочу научиться древесину обрабатывать,,если надо,я в гостиной станок поставлю,а жена будет опилки убирать если эта работа будут доход приносить
Gorgeous work! I’ll remember this the next time I need to make a propeller! :)
Will that be any time soon?
Or maybe a skateboard
@@jam2190 Ja Morant? 😄
@@jpzirngibl probly not
Better be sure you have it the right way, might have to run your lathe in reverse. Otherwise your plane or boat might always go backwards.
I'm sorry for my ignorance but what is it? An art piece or does it have a specific purpose? What I do know is that this channel is so addicting and amazing. Having complete nerve damage in my hands I'd never be able to do this but, I admire your skill. Really enjoy watching a master of their craft. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for the kind words, iv made countless versions of these and they all se extremely well, I don’t pigeon hole the use of the item but people often buy them as centre piece or for serving bread ect. It is what it is. 😊
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
My guess would have been a fruit bowl/holder. But, bread works too.
a skateboard ;-)
@@JackMackWoodturning I was picturing washcloths rolled up in one maybe towels.
@@JackMackWoodturning when I saw it I thought it was a swing seat 😂😅
Very cool seeing how they made maxi pads before cotton was discovered, great video
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Exactly what I was thinking 😆
Вещица типа: "Вот же классно! А зачем?"
И для ЧЕГО ??? Котодержалка ? )
Beautiful! Like someone else said….I won’t try this at home, I’ll try it in the shed instead
Glad you enjoyed it mate
I like how you make peace with risking your life and/of limbs for a tray. That’s commitment to this form of art.
There’s no risk here. What is it you feel is risky aka uncertain?
@@JackMackWoodturning It looks like the vane is about to come off. Given the length of the vane, the torn off tip would be a good way to jab into the soft parts of the body.
@@JackMackWoodturning lol you put 'don't try this at home' in the title, no risk my ass..
No risk for a professional who spends 50 hours a week at the lathe. The ‘don’t try this at home’ is for amateur turners. It is only dangerous if the correct safety protocols are not observed. Thanks for watching 😉😊👍🏻
Initially, I got mad at you for wasting so much wood. Then I saw what came out of that log, what a thing of beauty! I love wood. Its my Chinese element, and I have done years of wood refinishing bringing abandoned antiques back to life from the dead. I know the feeling when that layer of oil goes on, the wood turns golden, and you hear a golden shower of alleluias in your head. I'd like to know what oil you used, and wax.
Here is a trick I use. After oiling, wipe off excess and let dry 2-7 days depending on oil. Dilute polyurethane oil based interior clear satin type (Varethane) with Mineral Spirits in 40:60 mix in favor of the solvent. Brush the edges of the dish with this, letting it soak in. Wipe off excess in 15 mins before letting it dry so wood looks natural. When dry in 2 hrs, apply 1-2 more layers. Being very thinned out, it soaks into the wood, bonding the bark to the wood so no risk of falling out. It also strengthens the wood. You don't see it. The wood feels natural. You can coat the piece with this thinned out poly as well. 1-2 coats, wiping off excess. When dry, buff with wax. Much more durable, and no color change with time.
You really are a master craftsman. That was a very dangerous and difficult project going at the log from that angle. It could have broken off and hit you on the head like a projectile. Nice work!
Thanks for the advice MJ. I used microcrystalline wax and danish oil 👍🏻😊
Месье знает толк в извращениях...))
Im a simple man. I see "don't try this at home" and I click.
Best way to be Mat. You obviously like to live dangerously 👌🏻
Every single thing you make wood turning has some majestic way about it. Even if it's just a piece of wood.
😊👍🏻
Your project is very interesting
Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Could a reciprocating saw and some sanding not achieve this same product. God level skills on the lathe I'll give him that for sure.

There are any number of things that could create the same product. It seems a futile pursuit to begin to list them all.
My wife bought a piece like this years ago at a craft fair- waaaay before I ever imagined owning a lathe. It always intrigued me. Once I finally got a lathe, this was the VERY first thing I tried to turn from a peach tree limb. I was a total n00b, but somehow it all worked out. How I still have 2 functioning eyes and 10 fingers is a goddamn miracle....
I think I might have to give it another try and see if I've improved any.
Excellent work as always, Jack. Keep it up!
Thanks Aaron, appreciate you watching mate. Yeah definitely give it another go, there are so many potential variations of this bowl, great fun to turn.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Watching this made my toes furl for the safety of your hands and fingers. Beautiful piece of work.
Thanks M. Don’t worry it is all very safe! 😊👍🏻
Very cool work. As always, you do something that is very hard and make it look easy. Thanks.
I’m sure I couldn’t do what you do for a living Randy. It’s all about learnt skill gained over many many years of repartition 😊👍🏻
Such a beautiful piece Jack. Awesome skill in your turning. It's fascinating to see what turns out. Immaculate piece, perfect. Your skills with your tools are worthy of an award. You always produce quality, top respect from the South East
Cheers for the kind words as always Matt 😊👍🏻
And they lived happily ever after.
Man you could use that method to make some awesome skateboards.
Just need some tasty wheels 😉
Are you a skater?
I did a little when I was a kid
Think a kick flip was about as far as I ever got
Cmon Jack, what is that, a platter for apples etc? Seriously, some serious skills involved to turn that, I thought at first it was a propeller. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I use to sell lots of these as bread baskets ( for want of a better word) they make great centre pieces for a table.. as a decorative item or for serving foods like sushi or snacks.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Amazing skill and fun to watch! The last time I used a lathe was 8th grade woodshop class and that was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing.
No probs Glenn. You done any woodwork since?
@@JackMackWoodturning - No, not really... but I still enjoy watching. 😁 Keep up the great work!
Beautiful, lovely project, I’m going to try this on a smaller piece of wood.
Be careful Phil. 👍🏻😉
What a great piece but very daunting it came out so good I love cherry wood you have great skill
Regards
Steve UK London
Cheers steve. I’m glad you enjoyed it mate 👍🏻
The wood grain turned out to be perfect for this piece. Congratulations on such a gamble. This took some mad skill and strength!
Thanks for the kind words. No strength required in woodturning it’s all about subtle moment. And experience working with wood means you can all but know 90% of the time what the wood will look like when finished.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
That is most definately akin to "running with scisors" !!
The opportunities for things to go wrong are many 😆
He who dare’s Paul… 😂👍🏻😉
Absolutely amazing!!! If someone asked me, If this would be possible, I would deny every time.
Great Job, as always👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Christian. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
I still don't know what it is.
😆 what would you guess ?
I love the finished peice, but I reaaally loved it about half way through when it was a sort of wobbly wave shape. I'd use it for a tiered candle holder.
Thanks Frances. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻

Looking like a very difficult, dangerous turn!! Beautiful piece, well done, great finish and wood character!!
Thanks. It’s actually not as dangerous as it appears . But it is most certainly not a project for novice turners.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
It would have been a lot safer to do it with a saw and a sander. It's not like you have to turn a log in order to shape it like that.
Or you could just turn it on a lathe with far far better results
My balls are smaller than his. I will pass on the opportunity but good job on it.
@@JackMackWoodturning You say "Don't try this at home" in the title, then you go into the comments and try to convince people to do so. I hope you understand that a legal disclaimer is invalidated if you then put in writing that you don't think people should abide by it.
It looks like something toilet paper would go on to create the fanciest toilet paper ever! It looks awesome.
Thanks J. I might stick it in the loo 🚽
Very nice. I enjoy turning these as well. Makes for a lot of questions. You did a super job.
Nice one Doug. It was pretty fun to do! 👍🏻😉
This is the most dangerous silly thing I’ve seen done on a lathe in a while, fantastic work well done.
Struggling to decide if that is sarcasm or not 😂
It is actually very safe if approached correctly. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
@@JackMackWoodturningFor somebody with your high level of talent and knowledge that is certainly true. And for real no sarcasm, super impressed with all your work I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing your projects!
No problem Slice. Are you a fighter? 🥊
@@JackMackWoodturning 😂😂 No just a fan, I’m a 3D Printer-er
Seeing how much the tool flexed in slow motion was oddly satisfying
Nice one G. Glad you enjoyed it 😊😉👍🏻
Beautiful and scary, my heart was in my throat the entire time. Only a true Master could do such a fine piece of work !!!!
Thanks for the kind words Amber.
Appreciate you watching
Sorry if I scared you 😆
Great turn, Jack! I'm having a blast, working my way through your videos.
Nice one buddy. Hope you like ‘em. 👍🏻😉
@@JackMackWoodturning I most certainly do!

Lovely looking piece the grain is really beautiful and it’s awesome watching your work 👍👍👍♥️
Nice one Kelvin. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
The ultimate "turning air" test. Nice, steady hand. Cheers!
No problem Michael. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
Gotta say, I love your dedication to your craft man. Keep up the good work!
Thanks P. Much appreciated my friend 👍🏻😉
First time I saw the tease I imagined you were going to turn the log into a cross-grain toothpick or an eggcup, maybe using the UA-cam washing machine motor.
Absolutely beautiful work. I like watching your tool work and will work my way through your other videos.
The “less barky” reply made my day.
Happy new year.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Let me know what you think of the rest of my work. 😊
Ahhh the less barky reply.. 😆. I try to reply to every single comment, I think it polite and if someone’s taken the time to ask a question it’s fair to do my best to reply… that being said, if someone asks “what would it look like with less bark… I feel there really is only one answer 😆
Happy new year mate
All the best 👍🏻
Wowzer!
Comments are coming too fast to keep up. Did you say you play violin?
Muito bom
Legal as paradas pra mostrar a transformação
I follow many channels of turning, but never seen something like this! I'm sure it was very difficult to realise...can't imagin what strong vibrations you had to contrast. Only a perfect handler can do this. Be sure I'll NEVER try...too difficult! Thanks and keep on sharing please!
I appreciate you watching and your kind words. This was actually fairly easy, it’s all about balance and as with all wood Turing it doesn’t require strength. Just to understand the subtle movement needed to cut correctly 👍🏻😊
@@JackMackWoodturning Thanks Jack, see you soon!
Interesting... I thought I would never find the perfect bowl for that Very Large Banana
And now your search is over! 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning You are incredibly brave for turning this thing - I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
I love turning winged bowls!
Me too. Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Truly amazing. Such creative mind you have Jack
Thanks Cindee. Glad you enjoyed it ☺️👍🏻
I must be stupid but I read that as 'try this at home' Nice work man
I ain’t the boss of you gav, ‘‘twas only a recommendation. You do what you feel is right by you 😉
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Pretty wood color
It’s beautiful isn’t it 😊
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
You are truly an Artist. I admire your vision, creativity and talent. Thank you for sharing. I Never miss a new video!!!
Thanks Mary. I started this channel as a way to enjoy woodturning away from my day as a full time production bowl turner, but now my drive is to keep making enjoyable videos for all you guys who watch every one. Can’t thank you enough for following along. Hope I can continue to entertain you 😊👍🏻
It's a unique looking skateboard?🤔. Pretty cool looking whatchamacallit
It’s a snowboard 🏂
@@JackMackWoodturning oh yeah. It's about to snow here (Southern California), been waiting for a new board. Well it's sure badass looking. Just watch for splinters 😂-G
Good job Jack, I made a similar one in teak last year, very popular shape. Stay safe, John
Cheers John. Did you use the same method?
Your skills and knowledge are far beyond most woodturners. I can't believe you did it. But you have patience also which is important for this piece. Super well done. Tip of the cap !
Nice one Ralph. Much appreciated buddy 😉👍🏻
Initially I thought "you lunatic!" Hahaha but after seeing that..... Wow! 👍
I am a lunatic, all the best people are. 😉😂😊👍🏻
Amazing workmanship, that was crazy to see you turn that log like that.
Cheers Jeff. Much appreciated 👍🏻😉
Неординарное и пространственное творческое мышление в обработке древесины!!! Конечно, это не полностью ручная работа, но тоже впечатляет! Подписался, и нажал на колокольчик!.
"No, I'm not being ungrateful! I just wanted you to buy me a skateboard, Dad! The other kids are gonna make fun of me!"
(It really is a beautiful piece; that thought just popped into my head about 3/4 of the way through.)
Haha you are that guy. 😉👍🏻
I an not a turner. I watch these videos to be amazed. Consider me amazed! BTW, love the live edge
Thanks Gus. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😉☺️
Holy crap...that's a hell of a grip and a really sharp chisel.
Thanks Fox. Are you a woodturner?
@@JackMackWoodturning I am not bud. I only had woodshop in middle school that's about it 😄 I do have my grandfathers old baseball bat lathe but I never used it for any projects. I just recognized talent. To be able to hold that chisel. with a small log moving at that speed, is nuts. You handled that piece very well, as dangerous as that could be.
Cheers. I appreciate you watching. And glad your enjoying it. You should get that lathe running and have a go
Very beautiful sir ✌
Cheers cookie
Jack, I don’t think I will be trying this any time soon, but it sure looks neat.
Thanks Jack. Stay safe man 😉👍🏻
I love this platter. It looks fantastic.😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks Margaret 😊👍🏻
Ok 🤗❤️but man I was just anticipating the catch the entire time. Ugh lord have mercy. 👊👍❤️yes I have a lathe also 😊
Haha. I can’t remember the last time I got a catch while turning. It certainly isn’t a concern. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Woah that’s a scary project 😁 no way I could pull this off on my lathe lol
To jack mac good luck on your 🪵wood turning i hope it turns out
Nice in the end from paul chapman at east sheen
What is is it that you made jack mac
Please 🙏tell me interesting to know
Excellent work. I have done a few myself using a three pronged fork piece and quite large diameter.
I always use a face plate for the initial turning and prefer a mortice. Sanding is certainly interesting!
If you start the piece between centres you can manipulate the angle to achieve balance in the final piece. 😊👍🏻
Vc é muito Bom no Que Faz!!!Parabéns
I've said this before, everything made from cherry is awesome. This cherry skateboard looks amazing too. I bet a pile of ornately rolled up napkins would look good on it, or some artisan bread. Aside from the scary nature of turning something this shape, this was a size of wood that is very easy to find, so it is an obtainable object, instead of a unique burl, or a giant piece of wood. That is nice to see sometimes.
Thanks mate, I’m glad it was enjoyable and inspiring
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
"Don't try this at home"
Me, not even owning a lathe: *ok*
Go get one Now! Great tool and it’s lots of fun
It looks like you could do the same thing with a bandsaw in much less time with much less mess.
Where’s the fun in that
You finished yet Jack? Can I look now!!?? Ha ha that’s simply stunning mate, no other words needed!
Much appreciated Gaz. Glad you enjoyed it mate 😉👍🏻
OK, you convinced me. I won't try this at home. Firstly because I don't have a lathe but also because I'm not insane! Stunning job on something that I suspect is quite dangerous.
It isn’t dangerous when you know how. Thanks for watching Nick 👍🏻😉😊
How long does it take to get the hang of wood turning?? Seems like a lot of fun to have as a sort of side hobby and make projects with
Hard question. It depends how much effort you put in. I can do 50 hours at the lathe some weeks. I would think if you spent 2-4 hours a day you would be proficient in about 6 months. 😊👍🏻
On today’s episode of “Most inefficient ways to make a skateboard”
But I’m all truth the platter looks nice and has a cool pattern. The risk seems like it was worth it
Thanks. It’s not actually a risky thing to turn. It’s not a project for beginners either. 👍🏻
world's best hand-losing tutorial
Did you see me loose a hand ??
Браво за смелость. Хорошая работа. Смоленск.
Great work jack! A well produced video and finished product. Mad skills you have! May I ask what was the carving tool you used toward the end to remove the spigot? Thanks!
I believe you are referring to the dremel. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Julia 👍🏻😊😉
@@JackMackWoodturning Thanks for your response. What I was referring to looks like a power chisel, with a hand-piece at the end of a cable. Something other than a dremel?
Oh. That is a power chisel for the dremel.. it’s nifty but I think mine is faulty and spits black grease out the end every now and then.
Ну да, молодец. Получил бесполезный кусок древесины. Слишком много затрат. Можно быстрее, и проше
Вы ничего не поняли ! Это же скейт ! Тока без колесиков !)
i will try this the next time i'm at home, thanks for the great tutorial!
Haha. Be careful 👀
I just saw this video pop up on Facebook, and it reminded me to come post a comment.
I watched this video last year, about 2 hours after you posted it. I immediately went out to the shop and tried it with a chunk of Bradford Pear.
I couldn't feel my dang left arm for 2 weeks lol. The platter/thingy is still on my bathroom counter, holding my wifes makeup lol
Hahahahab.. this made me chuckle James..
You best get out there again and practice with that bowl gouge till it stops beating you up.. turning should be fluid and gentle..
would love to see a picture of it.. 😊👍🏻
Does the wood ever start getting that "toasty"/caramelized smell from the friction?
There is little to no friction involved in woodturning. Sharp tools cut through like butter.
Nice creation and beautiful grains. Very interesting and relaxing to watch! What did you put on at the end? Was that an oil like linseed or sesame?
No, it was an oil like danish 😉
Iv never heard of anyone using sesame oil for wood working.. fantastic in a stir fry mind 😉😉
Respect to you for doing this technique but also foolish for those who do it I understand that you’re very trained and I respect you for that
Nice one Roz. It’s all in the title 😉
Absolutely crazy, absolutely beautiful.
Nice one J. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊
I won"t try this at home but in the workshop.where the lathe is!
Still not recommended 😂
@@JackMackWoodturning The greatest things in life are not recommended 🙃!
I think I have to agree with you on that one 😂
Знаете как это называется?. Тянуть судьбу за**й.😂😂😂
Nothing like shaping an airplane propeller while it is running! 🤣
I bet you were super happy when you finally got to the center.
😆 Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
This was marvelous. Looked so nice after oiling.
Thanks JHF. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
What kind of oil do you use? Do you use the same oil on pretty much all your projects? What kind of finish do you use on your epoxy/wood projects?
after all that amazing work, hopefully someone doesn't come by and stem bend it into a twizzler. lol
I hope not. We’ll see ey
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Interesting piece 👍😎 Do you have info or link for your electric chisel?
This one isn’t actually very good. It spewes grease from the tip and gets all over your work piece. Typical bed product sold from Axminster tools. Il be investing in a real one soon and will b sure to let you know when I find one worth buying 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning Many thanks Jack. 👍😎
It's like the guy on Andy Griffith whittling in front of Floyd's barber shop and asked him I'll give ya 50 cents tell me what it is lol🤣😂🤣😁
What do you think it is Rog?
Didn't think about it but Now I wanna try this .... Thanks Alot
Be safe shorty. 👍🏻
As fun as this is to watch I can’t help but feel like there is a much simpler way to achieve the same goal without spinning it long ways like that and risking breaking things. Just a feeling
Like using a ban saw ? 😅😅
Twas a demonstration of technique fellaz, not a tutorial 😊👍🏻😂
Atleast you gave a response. Cheers 🍻
@@JackMackWoodturning I wasn’t judging. I promise. Just concerned about the safety of everything not metal in that room up to and including your very human body. Lmao. But as always it was a beautiful piece of art in the end.
It’s okay steve. There’s really nothing to worry about if the piece is mounted correctly. If it’s balanced then it’s almost exactly the same as turning a bowl of the same diameter. Obviously you don’t want to try to sand it by hand with the lathe running but it’s not AS dangerous or abstract as it appears.
Fairly sure I'd be chasing my lathe down the street if I tried this.
What about using an angle grinder for the wings and the lathe to finish the center?
Lovely, thanks so much.
Cheers John. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
The grain looks really cool on the finished product.
Nice one JM. Thanks for watching man 👍🏻😉
Make sure your machine is bolted to the floor. Or else it might take air ✈️
Fear not Simon. My setup is very safe 😉😊👍🏻
or have 500lbs of weight!

Thanks for the non click bait thumbnail, much appreciated
No problem at all Hippie 👍🏻😉
Oooo, I think I'll try this at home.😃
Nooooo! 😂
Great video, but wouldn't something similar be easier, faster, and most importantly safer to do with other tools. You could mark the desired shape on the side of the workpiece and then make vertical cuts of different depths with a saw. Then remove the resulting blocks with a chisel and clean up the whole thing. The last step could be done on the lathe to get more symmetry, but to remove so much material on the lathe as shown in the video does not seem to me the best solution.
Cheers mate. Yeah of course, there are many ways to skin a cat as they say. For me, the easiest way is to spin them on the lathe, the edits on the video make it appear some what labour-some but that’s just changing up camera angles and stopping the lathe a lot so the viewer can see what’s happening.
This type of bowl takes me about 20 mins the make from start to finish and for me this is a simple and safe method of working. I turn bowls all day 5 days a week and clock up around 60 hours per week at the lathe and have done for many years.. this definitely isn’t a beginners project. But It’s also not unsafe.. its actually exactly the same as turning a round bowl of the same diameter only you don’t want to sand this one with the lathe running.
The reason I dont remove wood before starting to turn the piece is simply that it gives you more scope. Firstly the piece needs to be aligned correctly between centres so the you get balance from the finished form (or lack of balance if that is the desired effect) to do that it useful to take a few cuts with a gouge and compare them end to end and see they both hit the same spot on either side. It’s important to note that although wood is removed in shavings it’s often the removal of this wood that tells the turners how to proceed, meaning the wood removed has function within the process.
Another reason is to be able to change the plan mid project. Although I make countless bowls to match the ones that have gone before there are times when a defect in the wood will cause you to need to change the plan or loose the whole bowl. This means you need to remove more wood than you’d planned. If you have already removed wood from the centre you have limited your ability to finish a piece and risk wasting the whole log.
While you are entirely correct that there are other ways to achieve the same form it is in my opinion fair to say this is the best and most effective way to create this particular piece.
I also return all shavings to the earth as nature intended by way of composting so getting one log per small section of branch is fine by me.
Or try bending a plank.
you could hammer a log into submission and lick it smooth ??
It would still be a different approach and a different finished piece
@@JackMackWoodturning I think it ultimately depends on what tools you have. The editing made it look a lot more time consuming than it actually is. I don't have a lathe, so I can't compare directly, but in the end there are thousands of ways to the same goal. What remains is a great video which inspires you to be creative yourself.
@@JackMackWoodturning Some great advice Mack
Max difficulty, excellent job 👌🏼👌🏼
Cheers Abu. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉
Theirs a song made about this type of work.... "Living on the edge" Great workout very dangerous work!!!
I laugh in the face of danger. Moo ha haha ha 😂👍🏻😎
This has to be the most unusual piece of wood turning I've ever seen and I've seen and even turned a few pieces in my time. He is a master.
Wow you think so.. you should watch more of my videos.. there are much better ones than this on my channel 👍🏻
