I feel better knowing that this still happens to the best. A great lesson for those of us that are just starting.
Your patience when that wood failed is admirable! Mistakes and or mishaps are sometimes more instructional than anything else.
Unfortunately, we do often learn best from our mistakes, don't we?
Videos like these are the only reason why we get better and smarter at anything. Can’t learn if we don’t mess up and look back at what happened. Loved the video sir, great work.
I appreciate that!
@@MikePeaceWoodturning of course man, I started wood turning for my first time last night and made a simple test piece and I was wondering what wood you would recommend for beginners? I used a piece from home depot and it worked ok it was just rough and scary at first since I had to make it round.
@@grimthoughts41 A local woodturning club is a great source for wood. Watching for wood that has been cut and left on the side of the road. See who sells firewood and go get a piece or two from them. Listen for the sound of a chain saw and go investigate. Woodturning vendors like Woodcraft and Rockler sell wood suitable for turning. The big box stores is not a good source. Check for sawmills in your area. Maybe a good topic for a video.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I appreciate the info, I got plenty of trees that could be chopped down so I’ll see what I can manage. In the mean time I need to learn about the different tools and how to properly use them, safety always comes first!
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I know this was. Year go and I’m gonna see if you did that video yet. If not it would be fantastic. Thanks Mike.
I spent many days making a bowl only for it to fly off the lathe and smash on me at the last stages of sanding. Was so incredibly depressed. Needed this video to uplift my spirits.
Ouch!
I don't know why I waited so long to watch this. It's uplifting.
I really enjoy watching the bloopers and catches. It is nice to know that I'm not the only one who has an exciting event every now and then. Steve
I think they say "Misery loves company" LOL.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Mike. I really feel like I get a lot out of watching the things that "don't go well". Having watched several examples, the one thing that keeps coming up is how quickly things go from normal to having pieces fling out of camera view. In every single case, the piece is gone before the turner even has a chance to have a reflex reaction.
Thanks for the reminder to be safe!
michael, thanks for the smiles, this is every day in my shop. if i were ever to be on youtube, it would be called ''wrongway hubie;s workshop''
thanks again,
hubie

You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Fair play to you mate.
You still done some fascinating pieces before they broke.
This is a talent and a skill.
You know your stuff.
Thanks for watching.
Cant win them all. This actually makes for quite an entertaining video.
hahahahahaha. I am so glad there are others out there. Not laughing at you Mike just the blooper . Its good to see that I am not the only one that make school boy erase .And they happen mostly when others are around.Thanks for you videos and your knowledge.
God Bless
Thanks for sharing your bloopers. When those kind of things happen to me, I feel like I'm the only turner who ever gets a catch!
Thanks Mike for sharing, Now i feel better. If it's happening to the master probably it will happen to me. Greeting from Saudi Arabia.
I hope so! Must be hard getting anything other than pallet wood in Saudi Arabia?
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Actually we have almost all kind of wood here. But sometime i think it's very expensive. For example, Walnut cost me last time i bought it (3112$) CBM (Cubic Meter). So, they always said measure twice and cut once. For me measure 10 times and cut once.
good on you for posting this video . were only human .
We're*
I believe I would have to try turning that split bowl, sanding it and turn it into a piece of art. Thanks for the videos Mike
Wow Mike, that plate failure was pretty spectacular. As is often the case it happened very fast and unexpected. Glad you were out of the line of fire!! I could hear glass breaking in the background, I figured that can't be good.
Thanks for sharing Mike. I can relate to most of these.
Our Snowman friend was a good one. Thanks
I started getting way more catches since I switched to carbide tools. That round one perplexes the hell out of me I seem to get a catch every time I use it no matter what.
Thanks for making me feel good.
Those things happens to all of us from time to time :) I've had a few airborne bowls and stuff happening to me ... like you said .. that was exciting .. hehehe .. keep up the good work Mike ..
Thanks Mike, I feel better now, so its not just me this happens to,
Take care, Harry
Making fails or mistakes is all part of learning .
Its all fun
Yes, unless you get smacked in the face by a bowl! Stay safe.
Been there many times :) Thanks for sharing. Marc
I love it!
With a left hand thread you run the spindle in REVERSE, tool upside down. I just used the method - it worked great any tool with out fear.
I guess I would have to see this. I am comfortable with the traditional way of using turning tools so having it come to me with right hand thread works just fine. After you finish turning know one knows but you so whatever works for you.
Wow that one with the big piece was really scary! What glass did it break? I know this will likely happen to me when I start turning... a lot. I just hope nothing hits me. :p

+BlackCat2
It shattered a 4 ft fluorescent tube.
Mike Peace damn! Better that than hitting you though. :)
Dam mike I thaught I was the only one that did that stuff lol
Catches happen!
4:20 thats why a pawn in chess looks like that
Too funny!
@@MikePeaceWoodturning yeah 😝. But On the other hand.. it's probably really the reason. In the start all the chess pieces where made by hand 😏
Wow, too bad. Only good thing about this video, is even the experts mess up on occasion. Plus, it always needs for us to wear a face shield. Excellent video.
Yup.....
Been there did that too! LOL!
as a new turner i can understand i have made a few can`t wait to get them all over with
When you don't get anymore, you have quit turning!
Don't give up your day job 👍🍷
This is my day job (... or hobby?)
Are catches dangerous?
(I have no clue about wood turning)
Generally not. Experienced turners generally don't get dangerous catches.
I am a woodworker, and not generally unless you catch your sleeve or finger or something then you're done xD
Thank's alot and greetings from germany 🖒
if a turner's not getting catches of some kind he's not turning... thank you.
The difference between advanced and beginner is how you handle mistakes
And how many mistakes you make.
Heard glass in the 3rd to fourth one
I appreciate you showing your mistakes so maybe we won't make them.
You are welcome! Safe turning.
I laugh because i know what it's like lol
Exploding rings are the worst lol
Now I don’t feel so bad
LOL 2:33 "shiiit"
I was looking into starting wood turning but man this scares the shit out of me :(
It really is safe when you take normal precautions and use common sense. Check it out by taking a class at a local wood working store or find a woodturner near you that will give you a few lessons and you will have a better feel for whether it is right for you. Let me know how it goes.
I've went to working in reverse with the tool upside down. NO CATCHES. The sub plate is pulled in. It works so far. On a wood lathe the spindle should have a left hand thread. I've been a machinist for 50 years.
Why a left hand thread? Seems like a chuck would un thread with a catch or under heavy pressure.
Thank God im not the only One. .... hahaha
Well, I'm glad this stuff happens to someone else too!
Yes, indeed. If you aren't making mistakes you aren't doing anything.
Oh yea, I sure can relate to this video.
Hmm. The CA repair job requires a coat of paint. Covers a lot of Ooops occurrences.
More than one way to deal with the issue, for sure.
:) why is that woodworkers and woodturners almost never cuss upon a failure (maybe like an hour later we do?)
+Jake Gevorgian
Lots of practice? LOL
I never thought about that. Lol usually after a failure I say "no problem, I'll make a new one" but of course I learn from failures too. Like, I would never over tighten a pice on a recess chucking. That's when it blows up. I would never go into high speeds when I know it's too thin and may just blow up from even a slight vibration. One thing for sure, sometimes we look like Neo from the movie Matrix who maneuvers so fast to escape the bullets lol
well....been there, done that.....and that....and that as well.
I could say none of that has ever happened here but momma raised me better.
Stuff happens.
hurts when a lot of time or your face is in it !!! LOL.
+John Fordham
True that. Cardinal rule of woodturning is don't get blood on the wood.
this thing seems so dangerous
A lathe is probably the safest tool in a workshop. Compare it to tablesaw, bandsaw, router accidents.
I could barely watch! Not because things broke, but because the catches seem like they would hurt and also release a lot of adrenaline.
A little adrenaline is not bad. I have had no real injuries since turning beyond the occasionaly scratch or partial fingernail catch.
This all looks very dangerous
It is really quite safe. And a lot of fun. Just because an airplane went down somewhere is not a good reason to not fly.
