Good stuff, Stephen! Billy

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Billy. Glad you enjoyed this project.

[@CharlesEllis-c6x]

Do you have any details for your glue up blocks and what glue do you use?

[@knothead5]

What finish did you use? Saw an amber liquid but you didn't say what it was. Went back with CC to see if I missed something. Nice; flame box elder is my wife's favorite wood. Thanks for the video.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this project. The amber liquid was DEFT Lacquer based sanding sealer just for prepping the surface. I finished the pieces with Gloss Lacquer. I hope this helps and have a Merry Christmas.

[@knothead5]

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and yours!@@StephenOgle

[@mitchellmanning7887]

Thanks for sharing

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Mitchell. Glad you are enjoying this project so far. Take care brother.

[@marklarkin7751]

Hi Stephen. That is going to be a beautiful ornament. Can you tell me what solution you applied right after you finished your sanding?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Mark. Yes I used Sanding sealer. It doesn't matter what brand but I used DEFT lacquer based sanding sealer. I hope this helps.

[@gamtnroadie1181]

Can you explain how to do the glue up mounts for the balls?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir and good question. I use my glue blocks over and over again. They start as a piece of scrap and I turn them to about 2 inch dia. and true the face dead flat and slightly concave the very center. I then use wood glue between the block and the blank with good tailstock pressure. Then I will use hot glue around the joint to hold everything together. That way I can take it off the lathe and set up for the next. Allow at least over night for the glue to cure. I hope this helps. I may try to cover this in another video. Take care.

[@terryboyd9875]

Nice Man

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Terry. Glad you enjoyed this part of the project.

[@DeA2875]

That wood is gorgeous. What species is it

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. The wood used in this video was Box Elder. I hope this helps.

[@Vigalman1]

@@StephenOgle It looks a lot like Mulberry wood

[@pgroan]

Which carbide shaping tools do you use?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Peter. I use a round carbide cutter just smaller than 3/4ths inch on a 1/2" mild steel bar that I bent and shaped to hold the cutter. I hope this helps.

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Those look awesome Stephen!! Nice work. How is the lathe performing? You have had it a while, curious how it is holding up. I am looking to purchase a new lathe first of the year, considering a Grizzly.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Jeff. Glad you enjoyed this project. The G0766 is holding up fantastic. No problems in the first two years. I have not even replaced the belt. Strong, Smooth running and Quiet. Hope this helps.

[@woodrat1952]

Stephen what glue do you use, glue block to ornament?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I glue the blanks with Titebond II. I also cut a chamfer onto the glue block and fill that with hot glue. I hope this helps.

[@woodrat1952]

@@StephenOgle, I Thought it looked like hot glue on the outside. Thanks for the reply!

[@jameslansberry5583]

Looks awesome. How long does it take to make one.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you James. I usually do not make them individually but you could complete a single project within a couple of hours from blank prep to glue up. I hope this helps. Take care.

[@fierceflyer5]

Stephen, when hollowing where is your tool, Center, above center or below center?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you and good question. I use the carbide scraper on the center and with a slight downward tilt of the cutter for a negative rake. I hope this helps.

[@fierceflyer5]

Thanks Stephen, you helped a lot, I appreciate your answer.

[@kensurratt2729]

👍 👍 Can't wait for part two.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Ken. Part 2 will be up soon. Glad you are enjoying this project.
