Woodturning - The BIG One !!

Рік тому

Welcome to this weeks woodturning video:
Woodturning - The BIGGEST Log I Have Ever Turned (I needed A Crane!!)
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a gigantic spalted beech log into a snowman with a yew carrot nose. This is the biggest log I have ever turned, so big I used a crane to mount it! I feel this video falls into the ASMR and entertainment categories.
If you find these video’s a good source of entertainment, I’d appreciate you like, share and subscribe.
Thanks for watching.

@stevedoolanTacoma Рік тому

The scarf was a nice touch. When you pushed the button to start your lathe, I was surprised that you didn't burn out the motor.

@JackMackWoodturning Рік тому

It probably would have if it was the original motor that came on this 💩 Axminster lathe. But that gave up after a year of bowl turning so I replaced it with a much more powerful and well built motor. 👍🏻 He needs a scarf… we can’t have him getting cold can we 😉😉

@jimgill1105 Рік тому

A testament for Axminster lathes ............... enjoyed the video

@JackMackWoodturning Рік тому

I don’t think so.. the bearings and motor that this lathe came with couldn’t handle a log half this size. The body is a lathe sold by Axminster but I have modified it drastically. It took very little to kill the original motor around 1 year of full time bowl turning and the bearings were shot in less than 18 months from new. That is the reality of lathes sold by Axminster. Or any of their branded machines for that matter.

@duaneheadworth6275 Рік тому

What did you do to upgrade the lathe? What size motor and is it direct drive or belt driven? Just curious, because that is truly amazing.

@thehampshirewoodturner Рік тому

@@JackMackWoodturning Making the poor thing turn half a tree, you said yourself you thought you had maxed it out when you made that four part vase, and yet here you are turning something even bigger. On a slightly serious note i do have a trunk of a cherry tree about 600mm dia, and would love to turn something large with it but am worried about damaging my lathe, did you just chuck it on there and go for it or is there some sort of formula

@MEGQuilts Рік тому

That's really cute! The details especially made me smile- loved the carrot polishing. Going to make a turned ornament display? Could do the main parts of a Christmas tree, angel, candle (or angel holding a candle, maybe). Maybe even a 'stained glass' resin star inside a log section, like those cookies made with crushed hard candies? Just daydreaming...
