Woodturning - The Bowling Pin Part 2!

Thanks again to Bluetti for sponsoring today's video! bluettipower.co.uk/
I used their AC180 to power my lathe so I could turn with GREEN power created by the sun!
I thought it would be cool to make a small bowling pin bottle stopper with the remaining piece of bowling pin I had left over after my Christmas project. The pin has been sanded to 320 grit and finished with sanding sealer and a melamine spray. Let me know what you think, I think it is really cool and something that comes with a great story. #bowlingpin #woodturning #woodworking

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

Do you think there are any other sports-related items I could turn? Maybe an old tennis racket, or a bowling ball? 😉😂

[@wyldflwr]

A bowling ball would be interesting!!! Especially the kind with the cool swirls!

[@solidarityworkers6900]

Polo mallet ?

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks for watching! I was thinking the same thing, the colours could be awesome!

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

What a great idea Sol! Happy new year! 😉👍

Cute! I like the solar generator to run the lathe idea.

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Harry the generator was a really cool idea. I like how you made a mini bowling pin bottle stopper out of the top of the big bowling pin. Thank you for a magnificent video from Amanda xx

[@solidarityworkers6900]

Such a great idea Harry and who doesn't need a bottle stopper in their home bar??!! 😮🍷

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you Sol! My collection of turned bar items is really growing now! 😁😂👍

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

It’s like a paradox or something like making the top of a bowling pin into a mini bowling pin 😂

[@loisstump5990]

Neat idea!

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Good work Harry, how about an old baseball bat when they were made of wood, these days they are made out of Ally, or even a rounders bat, cricket stumps including the bails, croquet mallet, even combining more than one sport. Cheers

If you still have more bowling pins, I think it would be a great basis for a goblet. Just an idea.

[@simonmullins7044]

What about a cricket bat

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks for watching Simon! Great idea! Happy new year 😁👍
