Love the video and the camera work and production was perfect-but please dump the background music. The noise of the lathe and your talking is perfection… background music in UA-cam videos isn’t really a thing anymore and I don’t think it adds much
We won't dump the backgroundmusic, but I do agree that there was a bit too much of it in this video... Thanx for the comment.
If you must keep the music at least reduce the volume. I too like the music of the tools. Please don't drowned it out.🙂🙂
You made a very nice flask. When I saw you were doing one I assumed you were going to do it in two halves and then glue them together. I like your way. I may have to do it both ways. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Hi Ronald. I am new to your site. My name is Don Adams & I am a retired (at 47 yrs of age) former Senior Master of Art in the South Australian Education Dept, now 83 yrs of age. I love watching wood turning videos & am glad I stumbled across your site. I think your water bottle is fabulous & just love the way you went about it & also your lovely relaxed & informative commentary. I will follow with great interest now. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Your videos are always very entertaining. A bit of humour with a load of tuition.
Very nice there Ronald
From the U.S.A.
As I watch this, our black locust here in New Jersey in the US is in full bloom-- best smell of the entire year! Nice project!!
(and you can eat the blossoms: for the nectar... I once had to get rescued from one because I'd climbed too high for the flowers and couldn't get down. I was 4 years old. Silly munchkin.)
I love your work presentation which is has a human toucn to it i follow your choice of of tool especially. Robert in Sydney 😂 Ç
I found this video this morning, I really like your teaching style. So much so that I have spent 6 hours watching your videos....
Oops! I hope you didn't miss anything important in those 6 hours...
You two must have a lot of fun doing these videos.
I do! Glad it shows...😀
I've never seen a threading jig like this before. That is perfect for wood threads. Thanks for posting.
Very nice. I expect you do a lot of mountain walking in the Netherlands.
Haha! Yes! Very much! Very short walks btw 🙂
Just discovered the channel and immediately subscribed…..love stumbling upon new inspiration and always looking to learn/improve my own turning
Thank you for your kind words and subscribing!
Looks like a traditional Serbian brandy flask. Also the locust wood: grown in the old days along the Danube and Sava for ships nails because they didn't rot or corrode. AND when we were kids we used to eat the blossoms for the delicious nectar! Fabulous tree, tall and majestic, soft ferny foliage, masses of scented flowers, fine super-hard wood... just the best. And member of the pea family! (Ooh, but I think I remember short thorns... I could be wrong!)
Long thorns! They can stab you like h#ll! But fantastic wood indeed! 🙂
Wonderful!
Very nice, Ronald. I assume your biggest problem in this project is finding a mountain in the Netherlands to walk with your flask
We have one that is 300 meters high! Don't mess with our mountains! 🤣
Beautiful
Very nice love it
Great video, and tool control!
Incredible work
wonderful Project!
That’s a beautiful piece of spalted birch!!
Very nice another great video. Thanks
New subscriber, love your work!
Brilliant mate, thanks for sharing, definitely gonna have a go at this, love the videos👊
Hy! I love your videos! So relaxing...Thanks a lot Guy.
The spalted beech is beautiful .
My first video of yours, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Another great video and I love the flask. Once again thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Take care, stay healthy and safe!
You are great!
you're exaggerating

you are exaggerating...😅
You are an artist as well as a craftsman. Thank you. I love your work and your skill.
Gudd Arbecht, gudd gemach…(Luxemburg 🇱🇺) cheers from BeNeLux 😊😊❤
As far as the live center, I would go to the Robust one. They are American made. One Way does make a great product, but I always buy American first. Even if it costs me a little more. I believe that it's worth it to support our fellow Americans.
You did a great job on your vessel. I love the black walnut.
Very enjoyable video Ronald, love the threading tool, thanks for sharing, kind regards from will.👍👍
Fantastic project. This is going on my to do list without fail. I love the threads but I’ve never done them, so I’ll probably use a friction fit stopper. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Ronald, looks like a fun project. I don't have the threading jigs so I think I will try the smallest brass threaded rings from niles bottle stoppers for my threaded lid part. Love your levity and fun demeanor.
Enjoy your channel . Jim's wood shop. U .S. America 😊
Cool, I've made a few goblets and beer steins. I prefer to coat the inside with a clear epoxy. ( I have a food safe epoxy) so it's fine for alcohol.😊 I think I'd coat the inside before putting on the side caps and then use epoxy as a glue.
Awesome project! I'm going to be making one soon! And as a craftsman who has glued his fingers to things and together with "CA Glue" pure lemon essential oil will near instantly free your fingers. No pain, lemon scent.
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful and clever.
And what do you think about the flask? 😅
@@ronaldkanne I forgot witty
We have a lot of these wooden flasks in Serbia , we mainly use it when going outdoors to bring water or inside a home for decoration and to pour a guest a good old shot of Rakija , they are usually very very decorated
I think the one I showed in the beginning of the video was from that region somewere...
Excellent video. I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you. I am curious about your propolish. I do a lot of wood and epoxy combination turnings and was curious if this product would work for my pieces. I like a high shine to some of my pieces and am looking for better products that are also food safe. The water proof would be a bonus if it would work for vases to hold water. Also I live in the United States and was wondering if you ship to the US from your website and what that expense would be. Thanks so much. Vicki
I like it. Here are a couple of suggestions: If you had left about 1-2mm shoulder on the first insert (sized to the chuck jaws' diameter) then you could have glued it in and then mounted the workpiece on the chuck directly, so as to hollow and fit the other insert. The 1-2mm shoulder would be a 'design feature' with a function. For the neck closure, I think wooden screw threads might not be the best solution - they could swell or shrink. So why not use a cork with string to keep it from falling out?
het gemak waarmee je het doet mooi hoor en een wandeling in de bergen? je bedoelt in Bergen Noord Holland zeker LOL draaien is zeker nog iets dat ik erbij wil leren, al hebben we hier niet zoveel houtsoorten als in Nederland, en ja ik woon in de bergen, dus ga je wandelen in de bergen van noorwegen weet dat de koffie klaar staat.
Very very nice work. That threading machine looks like a fun tool but probably too expensive to purchase one for hobby work.
This is the threading jig...
dehoutdraaierij.nl/en/shop/accessories/hope-easy-set-threading-jig/
But if it is too expensive for a hobby that's what everybody has to decide on their own...🙂
I change the subject.
I don't know if that method is used by woodturners to remove a tenon instead of using an "adjustable jaws set".
I've made a concave cone (and a convexe cone) which can be fitted in a chuck as a driver.
I take the finished piece of wood between the cone (with a piece of cloth to protect it) and the tailstock with a fine tip.
So I can remove almost the whole tenon, the rest is removed easely afterward.
It works very well, no vibrations, no risk of ejection of the piece of wood, almost all pieces of wood can be fitted in a cone.
What methode do you mean Daniel?
@@ronaldkanne The explanation is at the bottom of the post... Ronald.
Great video! Can you show a little more on the center finder? Looks like a great tool... would like to know how it works on various sized wood.
This center finder is cool. Yep! 🙂
Here you can read more about it:

So you walk in the mountains of Netherlands? Haha…if your going to Switzerland bring me some nice wood 😂 I’ll trade for some walnut
Хотите иметь резец который не кидает вам стружку и опилки в лицо, а сливает их вниз? Причём ваш резец на первых минутах скоблит, а мой строгает )) И есть ограничитель глубины врезания, для того чтобы исключить удары.
Do you want to have a cutter that doesn't throw shavings and sawdust in your face, but drains them down? Moreover, your cutter scrapes in the first minutes, and mine is whittling)) And there is an embedding depth limiter in order to exclude impacts.
Ciao Ronald ora faccio parte dei tuoi iscritti. Il tuo è un gran progetto direi una borraccia integrale; ho tornito anch'io una borraccia creando due metà concave con relativo cordino per il tappo e una magnifica tracolla, purtroppo non possiedo lo strumento per filettare quindi il tappo è a pressione, ma sono soddisfatto del mio lavoro, del resto sono un hobbysta e non un professionista, ho imparato guardando gli artisti come te, Complimenti! Al prossimo video. P:S: prova a costruire una mongolfiera ti riuscirà perfettamente.
Thank you for subscribing Roberto. Show us your flask once. I am always curious!
I always learn something new to try from you Ronald! But not this time. Water? Really? What internal sealant do you have for wine?
If you come up with something, I'll start turning the flask tomorrow!! Great video, as always!
haha Dave! I have 2 products you can use for a flask filled with alcohol. Produced by Revivo. They are called Ecoat and Aquares. They'll be on my website soon...
I can see a definite difference in skill level compared to some of the hobby turners on youtube.
Beautiful work 😊 Gotta love new tools 😊 1 question was the inside thread “right handed” and the outside thread “left handed”? (Or there other way around) .. Or were they both the same “handed”?
both threads were right handed...
Fantastic. What was the product you used for the interior finish?
It is called Propolish...
Link to soundtrack playing at timeline 5:00 .....please .
what is the capacity of the canteen? when you were inserting the cap you could see the sides of the inside and it looked like it was quite narrow
I don't know, I guess not more than 0.7 liters...
Love your videos! What kind of wood would be good for this flask? I'm in the USA! Thanks!
Every kind of wood will do. As long as it is dry when you work with it. A dense wood would be the best of course.
What a fantastic video, and a lovely idea. Have to figure out another way for the opening and lid, because I don't own a thread tool. Maybe a cork stopper as in a wine bottle instead.
The inlays are spalted birch, but what are the bottle made from?
And what is the name of the alcohol based sealer for the inside please?
Thanks again for a great video!
😁🐾🇩🇰
The wood of the bottle is black locust. Robinia pseudo Acasia.
And the stuff i use on the inside is called Propolish. dehoutdraaierij.nl/de/shop/finishing-de/propolish-van-revivo/
Very cool project Ronald. Could I ask where you got the center finder jig?
Take care
Cheers
Harold
Thank you! The center jig i have in my shop:
dehoutdraaierij.nl/en/shop/other/meten-de-en/center-finder-pro-2/
What is that "Simon" thread-making device? Do you have a link where I could buy it?
It is the threading jig made by Simon Hope. I have it here: dehoutdraaierij.nl/en/shop/accessories/hope-easy-set-threading-jig/
But i don't think it is for sale in the USA...
What is the liquid to water seal inside of flask
It is called Propolish. It is made by revivo.
dehoutdraaierij.nl/en/shop/finishing/propolish/
How many litres will it hold ?
I have no idea... didn't measure. I guess about 0.7 liter...
Cool story, if it carrys water its called a canteen not a flask.
Thank you!
Loved your video but WAY too many ads
I agree...
@@ronaldkanne well you're in charge of your settings. You make the decisions!!!!!!
zeg Guus wij hebben geen bergen he ,3 keer een rondje verkeersplein oude rijn ??🤣🤣👍
we now know it's food safe and waterproof... but does it have an odor or taste? If I'm walking 10 hours up a mountain to get some fresh water from a creek I don't want to spoil the flavor 🤣
ehm well, i didn't taste the Propolish at least...
Schroefdraad...ik zie mogelijkheden!😉
Ja nu kun je je uitleven!
Nice job. I noticed that you combed yourself. Are you going to ask Liz and make her an honest woman ? :. I hate these emojis.
🤣
Turpentine and spalted wood in a drinking flask? Really? Well, each to their own I guess.
spalted wood is generally considered food-safe. There was a blurb about it in fine woodworking a few years back.
This is a different, natural product, which happens to also be called turpentine. Its perfectly food safe🙂
A very nie work, BUT I’m concerned by the fact that nothing is food safe. Spalted birch is made of microscopic mushroom that are dangerous for health, CA glue and activator are poisons, turpentine and oil too. So, you have a responsibility towards your viewers…
Viewers have a responsibility to do their own research. Pick something else to seal it with. CA glue was developed for wound closure during Vietnam. I think its safe
Dry spalted wood is dead, the fungus does not grow further and is also dead. Also, this is not the standard turpentine that you buy to clean paint or stuff, this is a different natural product just happens to have the same name. So please when you tell great woodturners to have responsibility to their viewers, start by researching what he is actually using before you write this negative comment
Just wondering…is ca glue food safe?
