Just wanted to let you know that you do an excellent job of teaching. I have been making things with my hands for a long time and it has been great to see a young man such as yourself doing what you do. Cary on this great tradition. By the way well done on the ornament. 🖒
Man this Video was just what I needed!!! Given the task of making Christmas ornaments this year. I like the way you walk through the steps. Making it easy to return the demonstration on my own ornaments.
Liked the suggestion about gluing! As a relative newbie, its the little hints that seem to hit home. I suppose most experienced turners would have known that...but not me LOL! Great job...beautiful work.
Beautiful. Very inspiring and reminds me there are a thousand great projects you never think of when you try to think of one. Especially when it comes to projects for gifts.
That's a great video and some real quality workmanship, exactly what I needed as that's what I'm working on today. Thank you! Now I'm off to watch the rest of your videos!!
Very nice ornament. A great family heirloom too. Was that a Cindy Drozda gouge? Looked like one. I consider Cindy to be the Finial Queen. She is amazing. Thanks for the seasonal inspiration buddy.
Thank you Charlie! No it isn't a Cindy Drozda gouge. I am using a Robert Sorry 3/8" spindle gouge that I converted to a detail gouge (or my version of one). I actually happened upon the profile by accident before I learned how to sharpen my tools properly. Cindy does a fantastic job and I have used the drawing that she has in her feed for proportioning of finials during my finial turning journey. Thanks for watching.
Amazing job and I swear I have never watched this video and I swear I just made an ornament this year that looks the exact same as yours even the spalted maple
Darryl man thanks for this! after you doing all those Christmas ornament experiments I actually went on UA-cam today to try and find tutorials. Now I don't have to anymore!
I decided to try to turn my ornaments like you did I always do it a different way and found it very easy the way you do it thanks the only problem I make mine smaller and the Chuck jaws don’t go small enough
Hi man, Really enjoyed watching your video - thanks. How do you get the fabulous shine of your globe? I don't always like to rich shine, but on this item, the high shine is fab. What do you use to get such a rich shine? Thanks. Phil in South West England.
nice. well done with the finials also. too many that I see are "fat" and visually heavy. my only comment would be to bake the globe just a hair less flat on the top and bottom. You typically still want a bit of a squashed sphere. keep it up
Wow! Great work... very instructional!
Thank you!
Great video Darryl. always enjoy watching and learning from you. Beautiful ornament.
Thank you Justin!

Lovely piece of work. Top marks
Thank you!
Gorgeous ornament! You make it look so easy! (though I already know how easy it is to lose footage!)
Beautiful. Very inspiring and reminds me there are a thousand great projects you never think of when you try to think of one. Especially when it comes to projects for gifts.
nice work and a lot of good tips - thanks Darryl, ornament came out very nice
Absolutely beautiful. Thx
Excellent, beautiful ornament...!
Cheers...
Really nicely done!
Great Job Darryl! I made one similar last Christmas, but didn't hollow it out enough and it was almost to heavy to hang on the tree.
Nice job. Good use of the chuck to expand into the center hole.
Ok! Wow! That was great! What is the finish on the final hollow form? Great shine! I bet the lights on the tree will really make it pop.🎄
Beautiful work
Great work!!! I need to try these

Wow! Beautiful ornament and great presentation!
Thanks Darryl
Excellent video. Hadn't thought of gluing the top and finial in like that, but it makes sense, and something I'll take away. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had a way to show you a picture of it
Looks awesome!
This looks really nice. I am horrible at finials, but you made it look pretty easy. I just need to get back out there and try.
Thanks. You definitely gott keep trying #dreadknotandmakesomething =)
Very Very Nice Hollow form.What happend to your 1624?Thanks for sharing

Amazing job and I swear I have never watched this video and I swear I just made an ornament this year that looks the exact same as yours even the spalted maple
Awesome video. I’m going to try making a ornament this way. Less waste on the body. 👍
Good job nice work 👍
I really enjoy your videos. I'm curious as to why you use CA glue for finish. Thank you.
Just found your video, best one I have seen showing how to do the globe ornament. Thanks for sharing….👍👍
Great video. I have been interested in doing hollow form ornaments but, I find them to be intimidating. You make them look easy. Thank you.
Good Video. Nice turning
Beautiful ornament, thanks for sharing. I’m a beginner turner, lot of work to get this skilled. Full View and Like 👍

Darryl man thanks for this! after you doing all those Christmas ornament experiments I actually went on UA-cam today to try and find tutorials. Now I don't have to anymore!
I had meant to have gotten this out earlier but..... life happens.
@@DreadKnotWoodshop You don't have to tell me about that! I'm definitely going to give this a try.
Nice work.
Great job. Very inspiring
Beautiful work! I love doing hollow forms and have gotten into finials as well. You have encouraged me to give it a shot!
I decided to try to turn my ornaments like you did I always do it a different way and found it very easy the way you do it thanks the only problem I make mine smaller and the Chuck jaws don’t go small enough
Very cool!
Really well explained and demonstrated. How do you finish your ornaments?
Thanks
Welcome
Great work.
That is beautiful. What did you finish it with??
Someone asked below, but got no answer. I would really like to know what finish you used and how you applied it.
Looks great
Excellent
Beautiful work!
Really like your final and hollow globe. Have you turned any bird house ornaments ?
Hi man, Really enjoyed watching your video - thanks. How do you get the fabulous shine of your globe? I don't always like to rich shine, but on this item, the high shine is fab. What do you use to get such a rich shine? Thanks. Phil in South West England.
I’m the opposite, I have made many finials, but yet to turn a hollow form. Thank You for sharing
Thank you!
NIce ornament. Well done. I love the high gloss finish on an ornament what did you finish with?
nice job. I like it
The patience...
Thats Awesome Bro!!!
Nice video! Do you encounter any problems hitting the chuck jaws while hollowing?
NICE !
That is so cool Darryl. I really enjoyed this video and what jaws are those for the G3 Chuck?
Thanks Ramone. I used 20mm jaws
How did you finish it? What did you use? Very nice, I use to make them about 15 yrs ago and am just getting back into it.
Just found this gem. Get video and finished peace sir.
tremendous
Nice job. What is the finish?
Thank you. The globe is finished with several carts of thin ca and the finial is finished with friction polish and hampshire sheen.
Nice...
The artistic part is where I have a problem I have no artistic vision
nice. well done with the finials also. too many that I see are "fat" and visually heavy. my only comment would be to bake the globe just a hair less flat on the top and bottom. You typically still want a bit of a squashed sphere. keep it up
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback.
Looks awesome.
