Looking sharp, Mike! Thanks for the support and the kind words, it means a lot to me :)
Great rundown on the fine turning, too.
John Heisz Thanks John, I think my youthful good looks and fine physique compliment the fine garment that is the T shirt.
Take care mate
Mike
1 thumb up as usual.
I have an unlimited supply of persimmon saplings I use for this purpose. I just have to hurry to beat the buggies.
Good lord, I'm honored to be on the same page as all these other wellwishers.
thanks mike for passing your knowledge to all of us.
you are a great teacher and everyone seems to appreciate it.
all the best

I have always been a bit leery of making very small finials. I see now that it requires the proper technique and the proper tools to get excellent results. I think I can tackle these small finials, after seeing your post. Thank you for demonstrating this method.
First class video, Beautiful result, very well filmed.
Thank you Merlin, much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Well you made that look easy. You are a talented gentleman and good teacher too. If it wasn't for you turners on You tube the industry wouldn't be where it is today, this is a good thing. Thank You very much for all your videos and effort it takes to produce these gems for us out here in Video Land. The music is excellent too! From Texas to England? have great day.
Thank you Don, your kind words are very much appreciated my friend.
Take care
Mike
very informative never done one before i will have a go we moveing house on saturday thats open plan so i can get round in my wheelchair so the lathe all packed away also thes new house comes with a brand new 8x10 work shop so will be lovely for my turning keep up the good work i get alot out of your channel thanks mike
Andy Rowley Thanks Andy, and enjoy your new home, and workshop.
Take care
Mike
only have a cheap craftsman lathe but I have turned small bowls, boxes and even a goblet. love learning from you.
Haven't watched so little TV in years, can't keep away from the lathe.
Lol...thanks for the kind words Bill, and as Capn. Eddie says...."Keep Makin' Shavings" :)
Cheers
Mike
Great job as always Mike, I can't believe you got that soft wood so thin.
Take care,
Carl
Carl Jacobson Thanks Carl - it was actually bleached Ebony ;)
Take care my friend
Mike
That's very good Mike. The turning club Alan and I go to has access to lots of pallet wood which we use to make Christmas trees, ducks, snowmen etc for the childrens' hospital. The wood is crap but it makes you work hard to get a good finish from the tool and you demonstrated that it is possible to do so. And, as you said, mistakes mean only that you learned something with no financial or stock loss.
Nice t-shirt, it's just a pity you will never look as elegant and sophisticated as me.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
baconsoda Thanks Brendan, I do so hate to waste "good" wood on practice with anything, and it also disciplines you with your tool control.......well, that's the theory anyway....lol
I absolutely will not be drawn into a discussion about good looks and poise with you Sir.......as you are most probably right ;)
Take care
Mike
Good job as always Mike,
cheers Colin.
Colin Chalmers Thanks for the support and kind comment Colin.

Mike,
Fantastic job and even better tool control. Thank you for all you do. I do have one request as someone who is very hard of hearing, please consider doing a voice over as you are very hard to hear when you are talking while the lathe is running and your tool is working. I have watched every one of your videos and enjoy what you are teaching those of us who can only hope someday to reach your level of artistry. Again, thank you for giving to all of us.
Mike
Edward Duhamel Thanks Edward, and I will take what you have said on board, however I cannot say I will "voice over" regularly, but will keep you in mind when I speak. Thanks for your continued support, I really appreciate it mate.
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike
Capt Eddie's idea of grinding an old spanner down to cut tenons works really well. I tried it with a 10 mm spanner in conjunction with a 10 mm forstner and it makes for a fantastic fit. A very satisfying plop when pulling apart! I think a brilliant idea for finials. Thanks for all the vids. Mike
Mike Fricker Thanks for the reminder about Eddie's tip Mike, I keep meaning to do it. Thanks for watching.
Take care
Mike
+Mike Waldt There are so many good tips all over UA-cam. Trouble is I can't imagine you have an old spanner in that immaculate looking workshop of yours! Happy turning. Mike
Mike Fricker Absolutely - No Comment - Mike ;)
Another great video Mike, make it look so easy. Can't wait to get started.
Kevin Newman Thank you Kevin...what are you waiting for!.....;)
Cheers
Mike
Promised Mrs Newman a new bathroom and new kitchen before starting my new project.
Another gem of a video, Mike. Thanks very much for that!
Dwight Rahl Thank you Dwight
Take care
Mike
Mike as usual a very practical video, I have shied away from finials as I am afraid of mucking up a good piece. Your idea of practicing on a bit of scrap is a good one, someone once told me the three words to becoming a master turner, practice, practice, practice. I think you are there.
Stephen McFadyen Thank you Stephen, all I can say is thank goodness for scrap wood....as I am a slow learner ;)
Take care
Mike
Thank you for this demonstration, I have finished an Urn and wanting to add a finial..
Nice video Mike. I have not tried any finials yet, but this basic tutorial has given me a good place to start if I do. I look forward to part 2. Thanks for taking the time to share this!
Rick Stonewood Arts Thank you Rick, our kind and supportive words, are much appreciated.
Take care
Mike
Your teaching skills amaze me!
+Steve Muise You are too kind Steve, but many thanks, I really appreciate it.
Take care
Mike
You know what I hate Mike? the fact that when you reach a point a lot of people follow you and your work, you have to start explaining in advance, or while you're turning, how this is not supposed to be the perfect finial, or that your way is your way, by all means it's not "The" way or the only way. Something that is supposed to obvious, but still you have to state it or else you will get a lot of wind blowing your way for all the "mistakes" you made... well, that off my chest, thanks you for the lesson, it's just nice to sit quietly now the kids are sleeping, and watch you turn with some nice background music. Thank you mate.
Yuval Lahav Lol......Yuval......goes with the territory my friend, but it does need to said from time to time :)
Enjoy your "you time".....could have thought of something better than an old Welshman butchering some scrap bit of wood!
Thanks as always for your support mate.
Take care
Mike
A lot of old Welshman would disagree with you, don't put your kind down Mike ;)
Yuval.
you make it look so easy Mike. . but I know it's not. but inspired to try now..
Thanks for the videos..
Graeme Taylor Thank you Graeme, give them a go, they're fun to turn.......and snap from time to time ;)
Take care
Mike
I know its a couple of years old Mike. But it goes to show, that I will watch anything you make a video of. Just joking mate. Very instructive as usual. Loved it.
Lol Paul, thanks my friend, really do appreciate it :)
Cheers
Mike
Looking forward to the follow up video. I think you are right, find some scrap and practice, practice, practice. Cheers. Take care.
broadsideguy Thanks Mr. Broadside! Trouble is I sometimes spend more time practicing, than putting my practice into practice.....if you see what I mean ;)
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike, Great tutorial mate, I have kept this one in my reference library, Best wishes Harry,
The Little Garden Shed Workshop Thanks Harry, always great to see you comments.

I have a tea chest full of 1" x 1" white oak. Now I know what I can use it for. Thanks Mike. :)
Phil Cooke I forsee a lot of white oak finials on the horizon Phil ;)
Thanks for watching

I have yet to use a finial on any of my projects. ... Now I feel I must try. :) Thanks for the inspiration Mike!
Cheers!
Jerry Paul Thanks Jerry, pleased to have inspired you a little. Also thanks for your support my friend.

Thank you Yiannis.
Thank you Mike for an introduction to finial turning.
You're looking swell in your new T Shirt.
Just one more thing and you'll be ready for the catwalk and that is to get a hairstyle similar to Baconsoda's.
Many thanks,
Alan.
Alan Simpson Thanks for watching Alan, and your kind words and support.
The thing about the hair is that Brendan has many, many years on me, and I fear I will never reach is extremely mature status, hence I'll never make a Supermodel like him ;)
Take care mate
Mike
Very nice. Thanks for the lesson. Motivates me to make some.
+David Peters
Thanks David
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike,
Another good video as always. I recently turned a few finials for a box I was making. I used the skew for any I have turned so far. Looks like the small spindle gouge might be easier for defining details on the finial.
Thanks for sharing.
Martin.
Martin Boyle Thanks Martin, I think they both do a great job, but with me it depends which tool is working best for me on a particular day. I also have a 6mm spindle gouge, which really lets me go "fine"....sometimes ;)
Take care
Mike
Thank you for that very informative video mike. I watched this a few times then I attempted one my self which turned out fantastic. I have tried before in the past and with watching this, this morning, it gave me confidence to have another go at it, and I'm glad I did! I was practising on some wood which I got from home base (which I use for practice) and I was surprised how thin I was able to get it and add detail to with out it spiting. Thanks again and have a nice weekend!
stuart w My pleasure Stuart, and thank you for your kind words. I'm really well pleased that you found it useful, and got some good results after watching, that's the aim of this type of video....to pass on what I've learnt from others....and practice.
Take care
Mike
As always a well presented informative video Mike, now I need to come up with a box design to put one to good use. Definitely food for thought.
Cheers
Johnny
John Cornell Thanks John, i appreciate your kind words.
Cheers
Mike
Beautiful finial and excellent instruction, Mike!
Braxton Wirthlin Thanks Braxton.
Take care
Mike
Wow, as usual I anxious to try to do these, but being that I just started turning last year I still only have limited tools available. I need to buy a spindle gouge that I can turn into a fingernail grind and maybe a skew. Then I'll have to teach myself how to use each.( your vids and all the other fantastic turners sure help) Right now I do just about everything I turn with a couple of bowl gauges and scrapers. Oh well, can't wait. Take care.
+chris Pyefinch
It all takes time a practice Chris, you certainly sound as if you're enjoying yourself :)
Take care
Mike
Beautiful video Mike I hope mine come out half as nice even with select wood Thanks
Al Furtado Thanks Al, I have no doubt they will, if not better :)
Take care
Mike
No way my friend I have a long ways to go
Hi Mike !!
Thanks for the insight into finial work.It didn't seem too difficult......I wonder....Hmmmm !!
Take care ,Love to Mu.
Chris and Family !!
Christopher Fisher Thank you Chris, for a man of your outstanding ability, no sweat mate.
Take care, and love to your lot too :)
Mike
Excellent Mike, thanks. This is definitely on my list of things to do. I have quite a bit of soft wood to practice on. Thanks for the info, as always, demonstrated with aplomb :)
Ian Maude Thanks for your very kind words Ian, appreciate it matey.
Take care
Mike
Thank you.
Wonderful video Mike,
Great suggestion for using packing crate timber as practice wood. I've only turned a few finials but with the recent purchase of a larger lathe, I hope to turn some bigger projects and some finials to finish them off.
Regards,
Bob
RJBWoodTurner Thanks Bob, scrap is a great practice wood, as you can experiment, and mess up, and no loss....but gain experience on the technique.
Take care
Mike
Greatly appreciated, thanks
beesncheese Likewise to you :)
take care
Mike
It was fun watching you turn the finial, as you supported it with your finger. Looking forward to the next instruction. Would you describe the chuck jaws please? Also, I still chuckle about your shop clean up video. Thank you so much!
Torvig Johnson Glad you enjoyed it Torvig.
They are O'Donnell jaws from Axminster Tools, here in the UK.
Take care, and keep cleaning!
Mike
Thanks Mike, looking forward to your follow up!
Peter Gawle Thanks for your support Peter
Take care
Mike
Great job!!!
Justin Fiaschetti Thanks Justin
Cheers
Mike
Very nice how-to Mike!
Peter Brown Thanks Peter, appreciate it my friend.
Take care
Mike
Very helpful! Thank you.
You're welcome Kathy and thanks for watching.
Hi Mike! Nice video my friend! For being a practice round, that turned out to be a very nice finial! I need to do some of that practice! In preparation for the next Christmas Ornament Challenge :). I look forward to the next lesson on finials, cheers! Daniel
Daniel Vilarino Thanks Daniel, that's kind of you to say so, they don't always stay in one piece I must admit :)
Take care
Mike
Hey Mike: Now you need to make the vessel that will receive that finial out of the same wood! It looks pretty good to me! A coat of shellac and we are good to go! ;>) I watched with great interest as I have a project coming up which will require one of these I may have to do a little refining on my gouge... that one looked really efficient! ;>) Thanks for sharing Larry
The Tiny Trailer Workshop Lol Larry....you and your shellac ;). with your skill a finial pf any design would be "easy meat" my friend. Thanks for your comments and support mate.
Take care
Mike
Hey Mike - I love it. Very nice detail work :) I wish I were more comfortable with the skew LOL - but I'm gonna try. Great introduction for doing finials.
Janice Kneule Thanks Janice, I appreciate your kind words......the skew takes practice, and I still need lots believe me, but so gratifying when it behaves :)
Take care
Mike
Brilliant work Mike. A lot of great info sound advice.
You know the shirt is awesome too. Perhaps you'd like to join Brenda's and I's modeling team. Believe it or not we haven't gotten any work
Lol
Take care and do a kindness my friend
Mark
MARK Baid Thanks Mark.......I think my astounding good looks and fine physique would be an asset to your current team ;). We would be known as the Dynamic Trio....or maybe the Un Dynamic Trio would be nearer the truth....lol
Take care mate
Mike
Interesting concept to do one section at a time. Art teachers usually teach working "in, around and through", meaning don't concentrate on one area of a painting, for example. I've always tried to adhere to that in a lot of things. I will try your method for finials, at least.
The reason for this method John is that you are working toward the "meat" of the blank were you get more support. If you go back and work on the top (end), you have little or no support as it is so thin.
Hope I explained this adequately
Take care
Mike
Yes, I understand completely. I try to keep the meat toward the headstock, but I'm never sure where I'm going. You seemed to know at the start what you were looking for. Thanks again.
Very nice; i might have a go myself
icespeckledhens Thank you, do, you'll enjoy turning them
Cheers
Mike
Nice work, Mike. I bet that that spindle gouge you use is razor sharp.
Cheers
Bill
Bill Wells Thanks Bill, fresh from the "fine" CBN wheel ;)
Take care
Mike
Very nice.
MrLeonard55 Thanks Leonard, appreciate it.
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike for this nice introduction into making finials.
I wonder if you could also use the spindle gouge instead of the scew. I love the 'irish grind' I got from Robbie the wings are about 15 mm long on the 10 mm gouge. I think that's enough for using it like the scew?
Greetings from Good Old Germany
Peter
***** Thank you Pete, the gouge is as good as the skew, I just like the skew sometimes :)
Thanks for watching
Take care
Mike
Thanks for a great basic review.
I'd add only one concern. It is so easy to sand out the fine detail that more attention must be on careful sanding. But sanding is always so boring. :)
Alan Stratton
As Wood Turns Thanks Alan. I completely agree with you regarding the sanding of detailed finials.
As this was just a basic "no frills" piece, it wasn't that critical, but on the next I will be sure to emphasise the very valid point you are making. Thanks for watching, and your input, it's much appreciated my friend.
Take care
Mike
mike very interesting video. bob
Robert Kutz Thanks Bob, glad you liked it.
Take care
Mike
Awesome!!!!
Thank you Sandie.
A good introduction, will presented. Cheers Mike
Tom
p.s. I bet you were expecting a little cheek... I'll leave that for John!
Tom Stratton Thank you Tom.....I was wondering where the Tom I know and love was......lol
Take care my friend
Mike
ill have to try one of those. that was pretty thin nice
Dale Marsh They're fun to turn Dale, give them a try mate.
Take care
Mike
Its a thing im going to try. But i think i'll use a piece of beech as pine/fir really doesnt love me.
Willem Kossen They are very addictive, once you get started Willem, beech will make a nice finial.
Thanks for watchng.
Take care
Mike
Very instructive video, Mike.
The tail does not look bad, and looked very simple.
Does your spindle gouge a special grinding or is it the fingernail grind?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings from Germany
Günter Schöne Thanks Gunter, the whole idea of this video was to keep everything plain and simple. The grind on this is my own fingernail grind, just a slight variation on the standard one.
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your quick response. -D
hi Mike are you using a gouge that you ground yourself or one over the counter,really enjoyed the vid as ever best wishes,Malcolm
malcolm minshull Thanks Malcolm, I normally don't keep the "shop bought" grinds, as I like to try different ones, but always put swept back wings on all, except one bowl gouge which has a straight over grind and a 60° bevel for bowl bottoms :)
Take care
Mike
Was the chisel used to finish a commercial or a custom grind? Great job.
Most of my chisels have a slight alteration to the factory grind Tony ... some more than others
Hope this helps
Cheers
Mike
Wow, very nice. That's basic?
So you like John Heinz? Lol
lol ... whatever makes you think that Doug ;)
Cheers
Mike
