@@CraigMackey222 Thank you! The worm screw is made by wen. It came with a chuck I bought. I saw they have it listed separately on their website. I'll check and see if I can find it again. Thanks for watching!
Cool use of construction scraps! You could cut the neck off a dark colored wine bottle and make a colorful shade for it, it'd probably up the resale value 100%! Interesting project 👍
My market people would say it is great work, however it is doubtful that they will fork over that kind of money. I will however try to add a few pieces of burnt wood on my table and see the reaction.
You have to have a market for rustic decor to be successful in this kind of market. The trend in my market is minimal living with natural wood crafts. If you don't have that it's hard to sell these kinds of products. The good news is people are trending to simpler ways of life so this type of products is trending up. My hope is that is the case in your area too.
I really like the videos! I have a question about the blow torch. Using the blow torch that close to all the wood shavings seems a little dangerous to me. Is that not a fire hazard? Not sure how flammable they would be to the torch haha
Yes you have to be careful when doing that. I try to clean around the area first. Always have a way to put out a fire. When I use the torch I make sure I will be in the shop at least 15 minutes or more afterward. That way I'm there if anything flares up.
Hello. I have a question. I am new o lathe turning and ordered 4x4 red pine. it came in today and it is very green. should I let it dry out before using it and if so, for how long. Thank you
@@Jimmolter761 It would be best to let it dry. Make sure the ends are sealed to minimize cracking. Depending how green it is, I would say at least 6 months.
Great vid, however on your links to the "chuck jaws" takes you to the chuck and not the jaws. Will you please correct the link, as I do want to order a set of the 2.75 jaws. Will they work on my Record Power chuck?

Nice work. I see you're from the same area as me. I live in Yelm and work on JBLM. I hate to ask but...i have an older Craftsman lathe i haven't used yet. My head stock and tail stock are slightly off from one another. Is that an issue as i see people using wood that isnt symmetrical when they start their project.
@@douglashaner6802 Yes it can cause problems with alignment. It depends on the type of projects you do. Most lathes can be adjusted somewhat. Make sure you check for any build up of dirt or rust on surfaces. That could cause things to be out of alignment.

Ditch the white wire. Totally does NOT go with it. Brown or black much better. Also if you really have a craftsman flair the wire should go down thru the wood and put a slot in the bottoms where it comes out and lock in in the slot with glue or whatever you decide.

On all these kinds of videos there someone is crying about the equipment used. Use a little ingenuity. People used to make stuff like this with simple hand tools. Save a bit of money, you can buy used equipment for reasonable prices. Shoot, you can get a wood lathe that is 80 years old that will do 90% what his modern lathe will do. You just gotta want it.
@@RcWoodturning Thanks for responding. If I can ask, where did you get your information from? Im not saying your wrong but I'd like to make a lamp to sell and I want to make sure it doesnt need to be UL certified or listed.
Well, you really need to work on your math skills, as that is definitely not $100/hr 😂 They would have to sell for $25 each since you can make 4 in an hour. That’s also not profit, as you have the lamp hardware to buy, too. But good for another small project to sell 👍🏻
So this is lying bull shit. Don't you have to go get the lumber? Don't you have to deliver the product? So you don't anywhere near make a 100.00 an hour.
