I second James' recommendation of Woodturners Wonders. They have the best prices I've found on high-quality CBN wheels, sanding supplies, pneumatic sanders, etc. Plus, the customer service is amazing. Ken (the owner) usually responds to questions himself.
And, good video!
Bravo this video was very useful for me thank you very much God bless you
Holy crap. I've had a Jacobs chuck for a while, but only ever used it for drill bits in the tailstock. it never occurred to me to use it to hold small workpieces. Thanks!
Perfect. Clear. Inspiring. Off to complete my 6 cupboard knobs now.
Nice!
You can also make a kerf with a saw in the tenon of the pull and put a wedge in from the inside of the drawer. Just make sure your wedge is perpendicular with drawer grain.
I have made pulls like that and I haven't seen anyone doing it. I can tell you, however, they hold after 3 years of multiple daily use.
I also used just serrated dowel with glue and it holds well so far.
Good ideas and tips again. Thank you
Every time I watch a video of yours I feel flexed on with that collection of planes behind you. Lol. Seriously. Great collection.
I like the idea of using a wrench as a gauge
Nice video James with as always some great tips and advice. I love the fact you take into account that not everyone will have all the tools so give an alternative way to get the job done. Cheers, Huw
Great tutorial
I just love your videos James, even when the task is a simple one for the relatively skilled, I always learn something new or I hadn't given much thought to before! Outstanding stuff!
Thanks for the video. I'm now heading out to my workshop to turn some knobs for my tool cabinet. I subscribed and "rang the bell"! Scott
Great video James. One little hint for tenons. You can use an open end wrench of the appropriate size as calipers. I frequently make finials for various turned items and put 1/4” tenons on them, using a 1/4” wrench as the caliper. It works great.
I used one in the video.
I was watching your turning technique so closely that I didn’t notice! 🙂
Those pulls are exactly what I want to make. I really like your idea of turning several at one time. Thanks.
Four was the max for me. Any more and the center ones vibrate too much because of the flex in the wood once you thin it out with all those tenons.
Stumpy Nubs thanks for the additional information.
Thanks for the great video James!
Yeah my ancient lathe is a one trick pony, it was free so I can't complain and it can turn chair legs so it does function well enough. For smaller items like knobs I patiently dremel them near size then sand which works but takes a long time.
Thanks for sharing very good advice you have a blessed day
I'm a little shy. I'll stick to the gouge and scraper :D Great stuff as always James
Looks like good practice. I have some shop cabinets in my future anyway.
Great video. It's nice how you made it simple and easy it follow.
It was my understanding that you shouldn’t turn with a Jacob’s chuck since the side loading would loosen the Morse taper and it may fly off. How did you get it tight enough to stay out?
Great video! Thanks
I always use a junior hacksaw to separate pieces when turning a whole row like that. Introducing it on the lathe itself, while it's spinning, only takes a little practice to get right (too much pressure will bow the blade or snap the spindle) & really speeds things up. It also means you can stay at the lathe, which means less wasteful exercise.
That works for the first cut. But then you lose your connection between centers so you still have to take the rest of them to the bench to separate the other three pulls.
@@StumpyNubs Not necessarily. Since, at this point, you've already smoothed things out, you can support things with your other hand & provide enough resistance to the saw that it won't go all wrong. Actually trying to remove any stock that way is a bridge too far though.
Edit: I should add that I never saw back & forth with the saw as you would with a static piece of wood, since the spin takes care of that. Just gentle downward pressure and a single (gradual) forward stroke is all that's required.
Good Stuff, Going to try this
I dig it.
You can wedge tenon, and not use glue or screw at all
Nice job
Always the best info, thanks!!
You mentioned tapered knobs. What tool do you think or know the Shakers used to make a matching tapered hole on drawer fronts or cabinet doors?
They used a tapered reamer. There are different forms of them. Chairmakers and coopers use them too.
Thanks for sharing that
Thank you for the video. I am new to these level of wood working do you have any suggestions for cheap lathe? Thank you as all ways.
The Harbor Freight lathe is not bad for the price. Lots of folks use them.
Buy the best lathe you can afford. Variable speed is a huge benefit.
Look at woodturning clubs in your area. Also look at woodturning groups on Facebook. There is so much to consider before you spend any money. Good luck 👍
In the intro on the table saw. What is that thing in the foreground? All I can think is it's supposed to be a steak.
@Call Me Ninj You're right, it's pork.
Great now I'm hungry ;-)
Thoughts on using wedges to hold the tenons?
Are you talking behind the inner face of the drawer or from the top/bottom? I guess that would be another mortise/tenon. Taking complexity to the next level... hmmm.....
It would be mildly fanatical, but you could install a wedge slightly proud in the tenon, then drill a flat-bottomed hole very slightly deeper than the length of the tenon. This way, when you pound in the pull the wedge will lock the pull as it bottoms in the hole. I clicked "like" to crush a troll.
Yes, you can wedge them .
This might sound stupid, but would it work to use a wedge to attach the pulls, like with an axe head (assuming that you widen the diameter of the hole on the inside of the drawer, first)?
Not stupid at all, it would work just fine.
Great video but need the to link to the Jacob chuck

at 4:15 it looks like one knob got broken (the far left one). What happened?
It just split on me.
👍
The book you showed, is it still available to purchase?

Great video. What was the book you referenced at 0:48? Hey thanks!
The book is " Shop Drawings of Shaker Furniture & Woodenware" volumes 1, 2 & 3 by Ejner Handberg published by the Countryman Press in Woodstock, Vermont.

Nice work,,, what size is that1/2 inch wrench you used for wood working?.😏
It's 1/2 inch.
What? A mortise and tenon joint weaken over time? Don't say that to loud, the purists will get ya lol
From where did you get the hard-cover book "Shop Drawings of Shaker Furniture and woodenware" by Ejner Handberg Volumes 1,2 &3? I did a quick search and all I found were used, soft cover copies of the individual volumes. The publisher or book seller may not be a sponsor but I'm one potential customer that you have steered their way.
Meant to also say: great subject, a good video and well done. Keep up the good work.
There's a link in the notes below the video
Thanks, I missed that link.
