I'm really impressed at how well they turned out, having been made on a drill press with only a chisel and sandpaper. I will definitely watch your other video on how you made the lathe setup.
Thanks - genuinely let me know how it goes or if you wanna shoot me an email through my website you could attach some pictures - ✌🏼
I think those came out better than alright, you did a great job Nick.
April Wilkerson Thanks April, I appreciate it very much!
Great stuff!
Donald Fugitt Thank you
Robbiethewoodturner The way you have your settings set I cannot reply to your comments - I just wanted to let you know I appreciated your comment and coming from you on this project means a lot!
I just re-watched your first video, because I had seen another about turning shaker style knobs on the drill press ( I don't own a lathe) Cool to see another project on the drill press. Thanks, Nick
Paul Meyette No problem Paul - they were fun to do
Nice job Nick! Is that a slab of wood beside you? :)
Matthew Cremona Yeah man thanks for the slab - it's going to make a great table! - I am going to comment about it in your shop tour because you showed it in that vid - I got to finish watching it now, lol
I like the pieces.
That hand made feeling of high end, character, sets..
GUY HILLIS Thanks Guy, I like how they ended up.
Your a natural man, you turned it upside down because that is the correct way to turn something, you want the wide end of the object closer to the chuck ;)
***** Thanks Dema - it makes sense now, but at the time of editing I guess it looked funny to me
Nick I think it was fine job. In a pinch I have chucked up brass ferrels in the drill press and taken a old file to make a pipe for tobacco of coarse, and things work out just fine then some emery cloth to finish up and all went well. And out of 1/4 inch brass rod I made a bunch of cribbage pegs. Any way my point is the ol drill press can be quit handy for some odd ball stuff and do a fine job.
And thank for all you share you have some great stuff on your channel... =O)
Reed Kay Thank you, those are some great ideas too - the more usage you can get out of a tool the better
good job Nick!
That drill press is probably better than some of the crappy lathes on the market :)
Robbiethewoodturner thanks Robbie - I hope to get a lathe soon - any lathe recommendations for a beginner? - I want something that will handle slightly bigger projects and not be too underpowered - and yes, I saw this comment 6 months late, lol
Hey Nick, I think they turned out nice. I just may give that a try till I get a lathe.
Saw Dust Maker It was pretty fun - I just took my time and didn't rush it - my name and winning a race rarely go together, haha
Cool project, another eaxample that a drill is one of the most important tools to have. I am starting to believe that nothing is impossible to make starting with a drill!
Scrap wood City Thanks, I appreciate it. It was a fun project to try.
meh... don't worry about them being identical! We all are not identical so why does everyone want their things like this to be? :) I like character in things like this and identicalness (Is that a word?) is really not important! While I have a lathe and I am so thankful as I love to use it.... I could see myself, if I did not, have one doing this kind of thing with the drill press! :)
Chris
Chris Pine Thanks Chris - that's a good point - I can't wait to get a lathe eventually
Good point, Chris. If you want something 'identical' all the time, get a CNC... otherwise, expect individualistic craftsmanship.
KSFWG haha - my CNC will be here tomorrow
Nick Ferry Did you see that big "I" word? You can blame Jay Bates latest video for that.... lol
Excellent job Nick,
Regards,
Bob
RJBWoodTurner Thank you Bob, I appreciate it!
I like!
homesy135 Thank you
Very impressive work! I don't know if anyone could have done better using a lathe and lathe tools. Thanks for showing us this Nick!
GuysWoodshop Thank you for the kind words - they weren't to shabby for being only my 3rd or 4th "lathe" project
Etwas mehr zum schleifen, aber sehr cool!
Gute Arbeit ;-)
Tiroler
Tiroler Drechsler Thank you so much
Wow! I never would have guessed those were turned on a drill press. Great work on them, and really awesome tip for people who need to knock something out in the round without having to drop the cash on a lathe!
Zac Higgins Thanks man, I don't know how practical it is, but it works
hell of a job there Nick, sure glad you were doing the dark side since you used Walnut, lol upside down was im sure because you always want the thicker side to the motor ( head stock) part. I cant show the wife this video, she will wonder why I need that $150 tool when I have a few old chisels laying around...
Rich McNatt Thanks man, your secret is safe with me
Nicely done! I tried the chisel and it didn't work at all for me. I'll have to make a tool rest and sharpen the chisel and see if I can get to work. Thanks for the video!
sharpshooterjd I did sharpen my chisel right before doing this and the steel in my chisels seems to hold an edge rather nicely
That's good. Mine is just one I had laying in a drawer somewhere so I don't know if it's any good or not.
sharpshooterjd give it a go - I would only guess sharper is better though - you might just need to re-sharpen mid way through
Yep will do. Maybe in a month or so when I get all the videos I'm working on now out of the way, I'll put up a project video using it. And I'll make sure to mention you as the inspiration :)
I thought your bishops turned out great. Thanks for sharing this additional footage. Very cool.
CMR Woodworks | Chris McDowell Thanks Chris, I'm glad you liked it - I really debated putting it out being it was a bit incomplete
Hey they turned out nice for not having a lathe.
Backyard Woodworking Now I have to convince the boss a lathe is worth the money, lol
chess pieces are on my todolist. i like your bishops a lot.
its just typical you turned them upside down. its kinda fitting. but maybe deep down you dont like bishops and a bit of dark side surfaced
Willem Kossen haha dark side, I'm all rainbows and butterflies, lol
And the 'paint it black' song is all about those butterflies... I mean door handles...
I think alot of people over look this option for turning small things it works great.
The ShavingWood Workshop Thanks Tommy, I think it works great for small pieces.
Great job with the pieces Nick! They look great, you proving that to make something nice most important is the maker and not the tools.
For tight corners you can try my method that I showed in one of the videos, sandpaper folded over hacksaw blade, works great.
It was nice to talk to you and Patrick this morning (for you it was lat night) :D
Take care
Karol
***** I might have to try that, thanks Karol, it was nice meeting you too!
Pretty slick Bishops Nick!
AdventuresInDIY Thanks Chris, I was happy with them
Those bishops are not identical at all. I would like to see you make a replicating system for your drill press lathe. Then so you can make all the pawns identical, and then return one bishop to make it identical to one of the bishops you already turned. Choose which bishop you like the most.
tittensmitten Thank you
Cool..! Thats pretty trick turning them on the drill press. Keep up the good work sir!
Jacob Ambuehl Thank you much appreciated - I'm having fun with the videos so chances are I'll be making more.
You did it upside down because then you have a wider (and stronger) base is the drill chuck!
Julius Jahn That does sound right - no idea why I didn't remember that.
Those are nice Nick. Really nice finish.
Ted Alexander Thanks Ted - walnut is one of my favorites
Hard to believe you can do that fairly intricate piece on the drill press - and with only one too also. Wow! Great job, Nick!
Kathy Dillenbeck Thank you - I had my doubts about it - I'm just glad it ended up the way it did
Wow! If you can do that on a drill press, I think its time to unleash your potential on a lathe. That's impressive!
Robert Mazzitelli Thank you, I am really anxious to get one, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun on it
Holy crap! I just wasted a lot of money at Woodcraft.
Nice work Nick.
JimE
blackemmons If you ended up buying more tools or wood it can't be all that wasteful, haha
Nick Ferry
After 40" years of square stuff I bought a lathe. That was just the start. I have now doubled that amount.
JimE
Very creative, Nick. I saw the video of the entire chess set that Steve put out and all the pieces came out superbly.
Ricky Walden Yeah everyone involved really made beautiful pieces - it was fun to take part
Good work. I think I'll have a go at that at some point.
Symon Fobbester Thanks, it was fun
Very Cool!
Michael R Thanks
I think it "turned" out great Nick
Rock-n H Woodshop haha, thanks Drew!
Making it on a drill press…… I think they turned out good.
Luis Figueroa Thank you, much appreciated!
Hey Joe, why did u stop making music? your hit "lean back" was good. The one featuring the terror squad remember? I loved your new era cap.
Fat Joe rocks a smooth tan - any whiter, and I'd be clear - I don't see it - he can't touch my dance moves though
lol 😂my father loves your channel , you indirectly improved a lot of houses around the world , thank you for your videos and keep up the good work!
Thanks much!
Perfect opportunity to make something purple for Steve...I guess you could have at least made them out of purpleheart. :)
patriotsriot I was tempted to paint it, lol.
Outstanding, Nick! I haven't had a need to turn anything in the last couple of months, but have your video for drill press turning marked and plan to use this method when I do. Thanks
Steve Collins No problem Steve, thanks for watching.
wow that's amazing. I didn't think they would turn out like that.
fair play to you
Thanks man I was pretty happy with them considering the methodology
Very cool Nick, very cool! Hey you're always welcome at the Woodsconsin shop to play on my lathe and make something cool. Well great video as always. Thanks Jeff
Woodconsin Thanks. Very cool, where in WI?
Nick Ferry I'm in Watertown Wisconsin. 1/2 hour east of Madison
Woodconsin Very cool I'll have to remember that!
Good Video, Wondering where did you get your wooden cylinders at the beginning of the video.
+Az Ker great question - I show it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/oGu0SLWoayY/v-deo.html
A result depends more on the craftsmans skills than the tools used - great result.
norm1124 Thank you, I liked how they turned out, no pun intended.
Surprisingly good, Great work Nick!
Sebastian ocaño Thanks, I appreciate that!
Groovy.
stephen dickinson Thank you
Glad to see this! I've been hoping for this one since Steve posted the chess set.
Mike R Very cool to hear - apparently I was one of only a couple to video any of it - I'm glad I did though - now I have more credit in the drill press turning arena, lol
Not bad at all, this is exactly what I would love to do myself.
Give it a shot
awesome!
thanks!
great job!
WoodWorkingTAO Thank you so much
Very cool!
Thanks - I’ve since gotten a lathe but this works pretty good in a pinch
