I’m binge watching your channel and I’m seriously very impressed by your skills and the way you present different things to us and not just the cookie cutter videos of which there is hundreds of channels of different people doing the same things…. Much respect had to comment again im just very impressed and interested in what you make
It's impressive how you can avoid inevitable mistakes when you working on wood lathe without samples? It's a bit painful to watch step by step slow approaching to the desirable shape of the barrel of workpiece. But you managed to do it perfectly! And why don't you use protection gloves? Some people can learn bad habits with sad consequences... Nonetheless it's quiet obvious you've come through many own mistakes and got that high level of mastery due to your love to the woodworking and commitment to gain perfection. Huge respect to you!
It’s rare to find such great content on you tube. You really know your craft and how to teach and your videos are excellently done showing all the important information so that we can copy your work without any fluff or wasted time. What a gem of a channel this is!
Very happy that I found your Chanel, I love working with wood, I’m looking forward to getting a lot of ideas from you. Thank you. By the way I’m also Nick. Take care and hope you have a great weekend.
Honestly, I just had the best time watching you make that rolling pin. Kudos to you and your mad skills, but also to the camera person/s and editing person/s. I was smiling through the entire video. Nick, I've watched and learned from you for many years. Some of those early Shopsmith videos are just painful to sit through, but your presentation skills have grown a thousand fold since then. Always though, offering so much knowledge. Thanks for continuing to entertain and educate us.
Your pins are lovely! I have found short rolling pins (no end handles, both with and without a taper to the ends) that i made from "scraps" to be very useful in our kitchen.
Each time I watch such woodworking videos and the Hi-Tech generation tools I regret why I didn't go for such a skilling subject back in high school. I opted Fine Art for Woodwork since you had you select one.
I took woodshop and i love being a woodworker. I can make almost anything out of wood, and its thanks to my great woodshop teachers, its not just a skill they passed down, it's peace and tranquility, and a sense of accomplishment on the daily. You can always learn, its never too late.
I wish to heck that I could have been your granddaughter, and I would have got to sit in your workshop every day and learn everything you had to teach! Me and your dog would both sit and look up at you with big admiring eyes thinking you're just a real-life magician making amazing stuff!
Thats bloody mint! I reckon that will be my mums birthday gift this year with Jarrah, Sheoak and Tassie Oak👌 Just need to borrow my mates lathe for a day...
wow!!! impressive what a talent step by step how he brings it all together is pretty cool 😎 carpenters are half artist half chemist or mathematicians got to have knowledge to do this !!!kudos
FNG HERE! This is the best old school woodworking channel! Wow, how did I miss this? O'l Nick and I have have scheduled many dates this month. Fantastic!
Just found your channel. Really nice work. I have a bunch of projects I'm currently working on ( canoe paddle). But as I finish I will give the rolling pin a shot. Love to use up scrap wood! Also very impressed that most of the work was done with a Shopsmith. Thanks
Hey Nick! Glad to see you are using ShopSmith tools still. I was hoping you would be using a 520 system instead of a "real" tablesaw LOL, but loved the SS Proplaner and bandsaw. As usual, nice work. Glad to see you are still sharing your mastery!
You're talking about Liberty, I presume. She's a gentle old border collie, and we've been stuck together like Velcro since my wife and I rescued her 12 years ago.
@@WorkshopCompanion Well I have built it. I didnt follow your instructions exactly. I found someone who was selling scrap hardwood and glued them together to fit the same dimensions as yours. Its a good first effort but no doubt I will be back at it again next weekend. after rewatching this video.
@@timheffernan4519 I always tell my students to please not follow my instructions exactly. One of the most most wonderful things about woodworking is that there are always dozens of good solutions to any woodworking problems, a thousand good designs for any one wooden object. The very process begs for creativity.
That must have been a marathon. And thank you for the kind words. But I can't take all the credit -- it was the Rudy Osolnik (the late head of the School of Woodworking Arts at Berea College) that showed me how to make these decades ago, when I first started writing about woodworking.
I have a Shopsmith Mark 5 as well as a whole shop full of other machines, but I never see You Tube videos of folks using their Mark 5. Nice to see it in use. Can't believe you didn't have some dust collection going on during the turning and sanding.
You're kind. But I've got to give credit where credit is due. It was the late Rudy O'solnik that showed me how to turn these almost 40 years ago -- we featured the pins in one of my early books. Rudy was the head of the School of Woodworking Arts at Berea University in Kentucky, a world-class turner, and an effective and beloved teacher.
Rudy O'solnik, the gentleman and teacher who showed me how to make these many years ago, would have been happy to hear you say that -- he did a good job too.
👏👏👏 BRAVO!!! Excelente trabajo!. Trataré de realizar unos similares pues tengo un torno a pedal y se demora un poco en realizar los trabajos. Gracias por subir el video 👍. Saludos cordiales desde aquí Buenos Aires. 👍🖖🍀🐯🇦🇷
Hi Nick. I've recently subscribed to your channel. And love everything you do. I've been a carpenter since 1968. But now retired. I'm a self-taught woodturner. I've had very good success at laminating alternate types of timber. And when gluing the timber together. I used your method of just adding a small amount of grit sprinkled into the glue, to stop the wood sliding during the clamping up process. Which works so well!! However, I've noticed a small drawback of using this method. I cut the laminated block diagonally, on my table saw, into 2"x 2"x 12" lengths. So that I can turn them into what's known here in the UK, As a 'Narrowboat Tiller handle'. I guess you may have never heard of a Narrowboat? I soon noticed how quick my turning chisels lost their edge. Also, previously On my circular saw, and Band saw. I want to have a go at turning a bowl, from a flat board. But I don't want to use the grit method anymore. So would you have an alternative method, instead of grit? I have myself thought of an alternative, other than real grit. How about using salt or sugar, Have you thought of that? because possible that type of "Grit" would be more forgiving to my tools. Finally one other question. Are you sponsored by a glue company? the reason I ask is that you do seem to use an awful lot of it. Which looks so wasteful. Yes, I agree with applying glue to both surfaces. But it looks like 90% squeezes out, onto your bench. Anyway Nick. Keep uploading your excellently presented videos. And Have a happy new year. Best regards Dave. From Suffolk in the UK.

I just love to watch this man work with wood. He makes it look so easy! Great video.
Thanks.

A true Craftsman. Nick is on par with Norm Abraham.
These are absolutely amazing and so beautiful the workmanship is so amazing!
Thank you for you kind words.
Using the 12 inch sanding disk was brilliant. And those wedge shaped cut offs can be glued up for random rolling pins also. Great video.
We tried gluing up the waste wedges and turning another pin; didn't turn out as well as we hoped. No clear or attractive geometric pattern emerged.
Fascinating process that works beautifully ... a real pleasure to watch!! Cheers ...

It makes me happy to see him happy while woodworking
Yeah, been contemplating doing a rolling pin and this video convinced me! It's on the to do-list now! Thanks!
Most welcome.
Your pins are lovely!
I have found short rolling pins (no end handles, both with and without a taper to the ends) that i made from "scraps" to be very useful in our kitchen.
What a Excellent project and looks fantastic. Thank you 👌👌👌👌
Thank you and please see my response to Chris Perry. This is not my design, but the work of a late, great turner and dear friend.
Each time I watch such woodworking videos and the Hi-Tech generation tools I regret why I didn't go for such a skilling subject back in high school. I opted Fine Art for Woodwork since you had you select one.
It's never too late. And the feeling of having made something both useful and beautiful is well worth the effort.

This man's videos will teach generations. It's amazing craftsmanship. You can see the skill in his hands and movements. Cute dog!
My dog says thanks!
Insanely ingenious project , great creativity !!!!!
Thank you.
Beautiful work. You are truly a craftsman 👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻
I try. Thanks.
It would be great to have some of the attachments you have for my own shop smith. Love the videos and the production. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for showing this. I learnt some really helpful tips and tricks.
For some more tips, be sure to see this: ua-cam.com/video/9g_7-9LRNEE/v-deo.html .

We could talk adoption -- as long as you're fixed and have all of your shots. ;-)
@@WorkshopCompanion😂😂😂😂😂❤
@@WorkshopCompanion I am fixed and have all my shots!!
It's nice to see that old shop Smith spinning spindles. I use a greenie and love it.
Makes a great lathe, agreed.
Wow!!!😄 videos like this makes me happy!
Glad to be of service.
What a work of art!
Can't take credit -- as I mentioned in another thread, it was the late Rudy Osolnik who showed me this procedure.
Amazing design...I love it
thank you for the downloaded plans
they are very good.best wishes from UK
Thanks for you kind words.
I really like that! Looks like a wonderful future project. Nifty holder, too. Well done.

This is with out a doubt the nicest ones I have seen in 8 hours of watching youtube today on rolling pins

Sir for what purpose these pins are used
I really want that roller ! lol What a great looking tool.
Thanks for saying.
That was awesome. Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching.

We have an overhead dust collector/air scrubber. But we turn it off when we're shooting.
That is real nice.. Classy!
