Yep, that's right, I cut my finger on the bandsaw, luckily it was very minor. Just a reminder to me not to rush, and to think before I do things. Silly me 🙄😯
Mistakes and slip ups happen, which is why the safety measures exist. You probably saved a finger by having your hands relatively clear of the blade before the slip. Glad that you're okay, hearing/seeing the amount of force applied to cut that wood was worrying, but anyone who works with tools knows the desire to just finish a bandsaw job.
Hi Harry... I'd like to make a suggestion to you. If you're going to use a bandsaw for wood, Look into a different blade. The blade you're using looks like a metal or "fine finish". For doing what you're doing, you need a 3TPI type blade. Maybe look into a 1/2 inch 3TPI blade skip tooth blade. This will make your job much easier and more safe.
That is a nice looking piece, simple, but nicer for it, even better it has a use. They look very much like Hob-Nobs and that scores 10 from the Southend judge!🏆
Harry, despite the "almost tragic accident with your finger..." That turned out very very pretty, beautiful piece! And for the record, I am glad that it was just a minor incident, just remember when you start getting overconfident back the boat up and remember safety first.
You're not a turner if you never had a little injurie! Glad it's minor, two years ago I had a serious injueri on my left thumb using chainsaw...lesson learned and keep on working...howevver you maee a perfect job, as usual. Thanks for sharing!
It's easy to get complacent and make careless mistakes. I'm glad it was minor and the lesson wasn't learned at greater cost! The grain on that wood is simple brilliant! It would have been a shame to burn that, for sure. Just curious, was the choice to use a different wood for the lid a design choice or were the pieces you cut off to round and shape the stump on the bandsaw not large enough to make a lid?
I like all your work, I to like playing with the odd piece of wood. I liked the way you handled the core, A question: what wood the core plug was made from?
I'm not much of a turner yet , but I've learned to spot nice grain from a long way back , and even just in the thumbnail that looked interesting and had to watch to see the results . Edit , very nice chatoyance. Did you have any more of this firewood, enough to make the plug out of sidegrain , and the lid with the same wood ?
Hi Harry hope your finger is OK. What are you going to do with the pieces you cut of on the bandsaw of this fire wood? The wood has some really nice grain and colour I really love the cookie jar you really are a masterwoodturner you haveca brilliant imagination. I love all the pieces you make they are all unique including this cookie jar, the lid is lovely with nice grain and the know on the lid to open it is lovely wood the colour is magnificent and the grain is nice. Thanks for an awesome video can't wait for your next one. Take dare if yourself Amandaxx
The blade is too fine and that makes you push the wood harder to try & make it cut faster. In turn, that makes you continue to keep that hard pushing going until right near the end of the cut. In turn, that makes your hand fly forward toward the blade when the blade breaks through at the end. Your hand then goes fwd onto the blade. I've done it myself but luckily still have all my digits. ALWAYS back off on the pushing near the end. The blade will cut through just as quick.
Omg Harry. Please be careful. It looked like the front of the woods fibres where tighter than the back, causing the quick release and pushing you towards the blade with your own weight.
Yep. Shop Safety 101. One of our machinists at work learned the hard way last year. Lathe caught the glove while he was turning a piece of stainless rod, and RIPPED HIS THUMB OFF OF HIS HAND. Surgeons were able to reattach it, but he’ll never be the same. Looks horrific as well. 😬
What a privileged schooling you had. You have a great deal to be thankful for. Not many schools have access to lathes, skilled woodwork teachers, and sufficient seasoned wood to enable each pupil to make large projects like this! How wonderful.

Really suprised that the 'Gloves Brigade' haven't had a go!!!!!
They will be here soon enough. I am sure the glove helped to save a chunk of my finger. Thank you for the support Sol
Yikes!
@@HarrySmithWoodturning if not the whole of your finger!!!! 🩸

Glad it was only a minor cut Harry. It shows just how quick things can happen
Thank you Deno! So was I. I just have to stop rushing 👍 Did you like the piece?
@@HarrySmithWoodturning the piece turned out beautiful Harry. The grain and colour contrast was very effective.

Did that with my thumb, straight into the blade. The project looks great.
Does your thumb still work properly? Could have been a dull blade causing you to shove the wood into the cut. Best regards. 😵💫
Lovely pot and Choccie biscuits too !!
Thank you very much, Luciano! I love a chocolate biscuit! What would you put in the pot? 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning 👍Choccie biscuits of course - though they don't seem to stay there long!
You continue to educate and amaze..😮
Damn guess I need to start digging through the burn pile!!
Wonderful piece! As a potter I know how difficult it is to make a perfectly fitting lid. Well done, young fella.
Love the grain.
The grain is stunning, glad it was just minot cut
Thank you Angela! So was I. I just have to stop rushing 😁👍

Thank you Chris! Hob-nobs and Digestives, a great combo😁👍
That is a very pretty sweet container!
Thank you very much Chris! It'll keep my cookies safe 😁👍
Love the cookie jar. You didn’t even have you hand in it and it got smacked by the bandsaw.
This piece and many others are available on my website! Visit it here: www.harrysmithwoodturning.com/
...I really like it when wood is saved from the fireplace and turned into something useful...well done, Harry...👍

very nice looks alot better than fire wood
Nice one Harry

Wear chain mail gloves. Love your videos 🤩

well done in the end

Glad you are ok. The piece came out amazing.
Thank you very much, Len! Just a small cut, and a valuable lesson learned. What would you put in the pot? 😁👍

Would love to raid that buscuit barrel, especially the choccy bickies, lovely grain by the way. Cheers
Very nice job. It looks really good.
Lovely work!
Ouch! Nice plug, and beautiful work!

@@HarrySmithWoodturning It looked good as a cookie jar (with a slice of bread added). 🍪

Rule #1. LET THE TOOL DO THE WORK.
Glad your finger is still where it belongs, but let that scar be a constant reminder.
Thank you, Dave. Just a small cut, and a valuable lesson learned. On a lighter note, what would you put in the pot? 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning I was thinking that the pot might make a good coffee canister. But who doesn't love cookies, right?

You need to be a little gentiler with the band saw! It appears like it let you know that!
Wrong blade as well.
Nice. Push stick???
What's up harru

Why did younot cut off the corners of the lid at the band saw?
Was wondering the same.
Glad you were not hurt too bad. Way too many commercials in your video. Still love your work though.
What kind of wood did you use?
Looks like butchers chain-link gloves would be more appropriate!
What kind of gloves?
The blade is too fine and that makes you push the wood harder to try & make it cut faster. In turn, that makes you continue to keep that hard pushing going until right near the end of the cut.

@@HarrySmithWoodturning it was fantastic. Really beautiful grain
Gloves and rotating tools are an absolute no-go. So please keep a better look on work safety when you make videos.
Tools or workpieces

great project, but, you wasted a lot of the log this wa made from.
Did that in 8th grade wood shop
What a privileged schooling you had. You have a great deal to be thankful for. Not many schools have access to lathes, skilled woodwork teachers, and sufficient seasoned wood to enable each pupil to make large projects like this! How wonderful.
Wow 8th grade, you must have been a slow learner !
Running a lathe while wearing gloves. 🤦🏻♂️
Amazing transformation. 😉👍👏👏👏
Be careful with mechanical tools 🤨
