#41 Woodturning a Spalted Oak Vase Part 1

[@alansimpson596]

Really interesting work Stephen and I always learn some new techniques from you. I'm keeping part two in reserve for sheer enjoyment later today. Many thanks, Alan.

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Alan, I hope you will enjoy part 2 also. Glad to know I can help.

[@MikeWaldt]

Beautiful wood and design Stephen, looking forward to part two. Take care Mike

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Mike, I hope you enjoy the finish on part 2.

[@devsvids]

Love your videos and your attitude to it all! I'm a new turner, just started out but the videos from you, Carl Jacobson, Mike Walt, Robbie and all the others really have helped me and inspired me to get to master this hobby.... gimme a few dozen years :)

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Thomas for commenting. Glad I can help in some way. Comments like yours are our inspiration for making these videos and they are greatly appreciated. thank you again for commenting and for supporting my channel.

[@devsvids]

You're very welcome! Honestly its lovely to see the selflessness that turners have in sharing techniques and designs!!

[@olancreel1491]

First woodturning video I've ever seen. Amazing craftsmanship and art. Seems we humans possess a natural affinity towards wood. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@StephenOgle]

olan creel Thank you Olan for commenting. Glad you enjoyed this video and hope you will enjoy some of my others.

[@thomazneto58]

Congratulations for the beautiful work, Stephen. You make it sound like it's the simplest thing than it really is. I'll try to do a close to this and you already give me satisfied. Big hug.

[@StephenOgle]

+thomazneto58 Thank you sir. I am really glad you enjoyed this project. Send me a pic of yours when you get it done, if you don't mind. I would love to see it.

[@darrellreed7044]

You can put a thick layer of glue on the end grain, let it dry and come back and glue on that mahogany. This allows the end grain to soak up the glue and not detract from the bonding of the mahogany. My dad made amazing furniture, much of which I still have in my home 45 years later! 😊

[@94hockeykid]

Great video, now I'm going to give it a shot and see if I can turn something half as nice!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed this project. Go give it a shot and have fun with it. I think you will like what you get in the end. Thanks for commenting and for supporting my channel.

[@tedspens]

A couple of truck loads.... what a score! Good haul!

[@StephenOgle]

Yes Sir, these were large and very old trees. I had past by them thousands of time going and coming to my house since I was a kid. I hated to see them being cut, but at least I got to keep some. Thanks for commenting and supporting my channel.

[@PhoenixForceTravelAgency]

@:59...that’s what she said 😂😂 Awesome video man!!!

[@StephenOgle]

LOL!! Really, I went back and checked that out! Got a good laugh. Take care.

[@armyscout92]

Beautiful wood! love the way it turned out.

[@wheat1buck]

Nice piece of wood and project! Question tho - rather than use a hack saw and then a band saw - have you tried/considered a bow saw?

[@StephenOgle]

Dumpster Diver Thank you sir for commenting. I never really thought of using a bow saw. I will have to try that. I have a bow saw. I guess I thought it may be too aggressive plus I wanted the thinnest kerf possible. I thank you for your comments and suggestions.

[@kevinkrull5483]

Wow, that was one wild ride you had with the hack saw! I normally loose my nerve when it starts bouncing like that. I'm happy to see that I can keep sawing without incident, thanks for showing that! Have a good one, Kevin

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Kevin for commenting. Yes, it does get a little wild. Just keep it moving and once the piece begins to flex you should finish with another saw and remove the tailstock pressure. It will pinch and could damage your piece. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@tomcanada3422]

Njce wood also nice design waiting on part two

[@johnmalan6802]

After reading other comments my questions was answered. Your wood was dry and stable before turning. Do you have your own kiln? How long did it take? Is there a practical way for a small operator like me to dry logs. Thanks again

[@gdaruda]

Well there you go again doing my fave kind of turning "vases" but I do mine a bit differently, I leave the piece round and drill a 1 /1/2 hole the whole length with an auger bit and work the piece from both ends. Some of my vases are 12" dia x 16" tall I don't determine what it looks like until I start cutting and have a look at the grain it saves brain power,cuz I don't have much left haha. I cut a big hole in the bottom and a smaller one in the top end and use the steady wheels while cutting from both ends. When I'm finished I cut a 5" cookie and plug the bottom. I soak the bottom end of the wet ones in methyl hydrate for a day and that helps to stop cracking while drying. I have tons of alder and western big leaf maple spalted and wet green so I can have screw ups galore.

[@StephenOgle]

George. I thank you for your comments again and really for the explanation of your methods. I really like the idea of turning from both ends but have not tried it. I too need all the brain power I can get and help from viewers is always welcome. Everyone reading your comments can learn and try these methods also. Thank you for sharing them with us on my channel. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[@gdaruda]

Stephen Ogle I find when I turn green wood and don't take the bottom out the bottoms tend to crack when drying because I dry them fast by wrapping the outer surface with plastic food wrap and setting the vase on a little box that I put an old computer fan in and dry it from the inside. I will run the fan for a while and let it sit for a while while I'm doing something else like maybe some refreshment haha. They can be dried at both ends. Have fun, I get my head stock for my electronic Lathe back tomorrow. Xmas is coming gotta get with it!!!

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks again George for sharing your methods. Most of the vases I turn are already seasoned wood and cut from the middle taking off the checking, so I usually do not worry too much about the curing. I too still have a lot to do for Christmas. Thanks again sir for commenting and suggesting new ways of doing things.

[@johnmalan6802]

Stunning vase!!! How do you keep the finished vase from cracking when it dries? Thanks, John

[@cherjenkins2006]

you have mentioned that you had to go work in your videos then come back to your wood work. This should be your main job, I can see how much you enjoy making your designs and you have so much talent... Thank You for sharing your talent with us... I would love to know how I can get one of your amazing pieces? and as before I have shared your video on my facebook.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you. It is comments like your's that inspire me to continue with my videos. This will be my main job in about 9.5 more years. Ha, I can always be contacted via email at [e-mail] Thanks again for all your support I am truly glad to hear that you like my work.

[@gunterschone8402]

Hello Stephen, interesting video. the method can also undermine a vase. The wood has a beautiful grain.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Gunter, and yes you are right. The glue joint should be the strongest part of the vase. If it is not, then the vase could possibly break later. Thank you for your insightful comments and support of my channel.

[@johnmay3266]

Nicely done Stephen. I just finished a spalted oak vase (my first) and it turned out really nice. I just used a series of increasing Forsner bits to hollow and then widened the mouth. Like to try your method of splitting and will try that next. I think Rather than trying to hide the seam perhaps accent lines like a vee on either side would be cool. can you give me any info on you stead rest. Now that I'm making longer turnings I need one. Also, I finish with gloss wipe on Polyurethane. Keep up the good work.

[@StephenOgle]

+John May Thank you John. I have a video of the steady rest and you can check it out here if you would like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4rdqninbJyFqpo I have made a couple of small modifications since the video. I now have wooden knobs on all the clamps and Roller blade wheels instead of the wooden ones. Hope you enjoy that project.

[@MrFishingfursnook]

I saw your Cartersville shirt in one of your videos and it made me think of that place Coconuts its an ice cream shop in downtown Cartersville GA.

[@StephenOgle]

MrFishingfursnook Thank you for commenting. I enjoy Coconuts. It is still here and they have very good ice cream.

[@bsneaky33]

Just watched this awesome video a second time, but with subtitles turned on, laughed my butt off. :D Gosh beautiful work.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I have never tried the subtitles. If it really gets a good laugh I should try it. LOL!! Glad you enjoyed this project my friend.

[@djar5562]

you're right - very funny!! LOL

[@bsneaky33]

I had it ticked 'on' by accident, and I had a proper giggle. Cheers :D

[@johnnydutcher208]

Man that’s pretty!

[@mikhail2400]

Another GA bay with a lathe! Very nice vase, i really like the slow lazy lines on it. What brand was that 1/4" round nose scrapper and handle

[@tstep522]

I think most men like that shape, haha. Nice work man!

[@StephenOgle]

Troy Stephens Ha Ha. I agree. Perhaps that is why so many of my vases at similar to this shape. Hey, Thanks for commenting.

[@davidman6024]

beautiful vase

[@boomfiziks]

When turning a whole log, do you have to be concerned with the pith? It has a very nice spalting and a great looking vase. Great job!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Dwight for commenting, Yes, you should try to figure out if the pith is going to cause problems or not. If the wood is cured there will be very minimal problems. Wet wood may cause problems with checking. The pith is very unstable. This piece has already shrank and should not cause any problems. Glad you liked the piece and thank you to supporting my channel.

[@Eroc.48]

I'm wanting to turn wood as a hobby and i am looking for a wood lathe. I want to buy a lathe but do not want to spend too much and do not want to buy crap at the same time. I have looked on craigslist and seen some decent used lathes but not totally bought on the ones i seen. I want something that i would be willing to keep over the years even i got much more involved or serious. Could you give me any suggestions as to where i should start looking? Your opinion on a lathe with a good length and diameter size would be helpful as well. Furthermore, I am assuming a chuck like the one you have is custom? Any information on these topics and attachments is greatly appreciated... Thanks

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Eric. My lathe is the Grizzly G0462 I have used it for 7 years. No problem yet. It cost about $600.00. 16 inch Dia capacity, 43 inches between centers, and 2 hp motor. You should look at them. The chuck is a standard 1x8tpi. Hope this helps.

[@Eroc.48]

+Stephen Ogle Yes it did, thanks! Great work by the way...

[@lolalalo2857]

What a beauty!

[@woodhog4154]

Stephen, I have a curious question. This is spalted oak, and spalting is caused by a fungus that attacked the tree. That being the case, why are you not wearing breathing protection to prevent inhaling the fungal spores into your lungs while turning your project? These spores could be the cause of some serious lungs conditions. Just want you to stay safe because we enjoy your videos.

[@enyafanjt]

thanks for another great video. this one will be good for me since I have a ton of wood for vases. one question if you don't mind. can one hand apply a lacquer finish? all I have ever done is a shellac mixture finish on the few bowls and pens and the ca finish I do for pens. thanks again.

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks James for commenting. Let me say first that your cutters work flawlessly and hold an edge far longer than most HSS I have used. Thanks again for them. Yes, you can apply laquer by hand. However; keep in mind that it cures extremely fast and so makes it difficult to get just right. If I were using a hand finish I would chose Polyurethane. It cures slower and will give you a chance to get it right. Either will give a very superior and durable finish on pieces you expect to be handled a good bit. Hope this helps.

[@enyafanjt]

Stephen Ogle Thanks for the reply, I have some defthane . You are welcome for the cutters, if you ever need anything just let me know.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you James, but truly you have done more than I could have asked. The cutters were a very fine gift. Oh yeah, Still working from the edge I originally ground. They are awesome.

[@stuartsullenbarger2471]

Just wandering, why would you cut it in half,and why would you carve out the inside,no one will even see it,,,,just a question,i,m making one myself out of spalted maple,,,,but live the video.

[@gdaruda]

What's the rattling noise in the lathe? What is your lowest RPM and the highest RPM with that type of drive? I have converted a variable drive one of mine back to v belt drive with multiple v pulleys which I turned out of hardwood. I burned out the controls in my electronic one and that POed me a bunch so I'm looking for something with more durability. Is that Grizzly heavy duty and well built?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you George for the comments and your questions. The speed range for my lathe is around 600 to 2400 give or take about 30 rpm with the condition of the belt. My lathe is the Grizzly G0462 and has been a workhorse for about six years now. Large or small diameter, with the 2hp it will turn with almost no significant loss of speed. I have found this lathe to be very reliable and powerful. That being said getting back to the rattle you asked about. It comes from the v-belt interacting with the variable transmission pulleys. I don't believe there is a fix for this. However it does not cause vibration and does not inhibit the functionality, but it is a little noisy at times. I hope you have found this short review helpful and I will be glad to try to answer any further questions you may have on this subject. Thank you for commenting and supporting my channel.

[@gdaruda]

Stephen Ogle I'll bet hat the movable part of the drive pulley is wearing and getting loose on the shaft, That's what mine did and all I was getting was a lot of belt slip.

[@StephenOgle]

Haven't had a problem with the belt slipping and the pulley is still tight. I maintenance the moving parts about once every two weeks. The rattle comes from the tension on the sides of the belt from the pulley under spring tension. The pulley actually grips the side of the belt and as the belt pulls through it creates a rattle. Thanks again for your suggestion. These discussions really help a lot of people.

[@esplorador1176]

It is a truly craftsmanship. Congratulations goes on, I have a question as the song is called the minute 11:53 please.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir for commenting. Glad you enjoyed this video. This is music KZbin allows people to use in their videos and can be downloaded for free to use. Hope this answers your question.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

When drilling, there are tapered lathe chucks that slide right in where your center normally goes, so you know the bit is perfectly in the center and level.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Sam. I have the Jacobs chuck you are speaking of and I use it very often except when I have to drill really deep. It just takes too much readjusting. However, When you bring a stationary bit to a spinning piece of wood it can not start any place but the dead center and can only drill straight through the center. The bit cannot run out the side like some people think. If the bit begins to drift out of center because of grain or something else it would not matter what type of chuck it was mounted in. It would break or spin out before that could happen.

[@JaCk-bj6hs]

Do you have any problem with the sprayer, 10 coats and drying time berween each? Your turnings have got me back in the shop. Thanks for these videos

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. Good question! I have not had problems with spraying this many coats as long as each coat is hardened before the next is applied. By hardened I mean if you rub it with steel wool or fine sandpaper you will generate dust from the layer, with no clumping or stickiness. I hope this is helpful. So glad you are enjoying my channel and finding it helpful.

[@JaCk-bj6hs]

thanks for the reply. Have another question about spraying. I haven't used my sprayer for 10 years or so and I'm wondering about when you set it down after each coat, does it, or could it, dry up? Seems to me like I always had to stick it in a bucket of thinner or clean it each time. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. And please drop the "sir". I was an enlisted swine......

[@MrPoppadog1955]

question for you I think I'm going to order the lathe you have from grizzly however there are several options for the chuck which one do you use. and do you think one is better than the other. thanks in advance.

[@StephenOgle]

+Michael Matthews Thank you Michael. I started with the Barracuda 2 from Penn State Industries. It is a good chuck and grips firmly. It comes with 4 sets of jaws including the smaller Jumbo jaws, also it has the wormwood screw and a drive center. Very good bang for the buck. I now use the Oneway Stronghold it is a larger chuck and only comes with the #2 jaw set. Everything else must be bought separately and that can get "Very" expensive. I now have more money in my Stronghold Chuck than my lathe.I hope this helps.

[@michaeljmcglade]

love your videos man!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Michael. Glad you are enjoying my channel sir. Take care.

[@coolcat9327]

Have ever considered hollowing from both ends and then putting a plug or base on the bottom rather than cutting the vase in half?

[@lawrencet.mcguilicutty7447]

Think that stabilizing with cactus juice might of helped?

[@wadehiers]

curious question... why not mount the long 1/2" bit into the drill chuck on the tail stock like you did with the forstner bit?

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Howard for the question. The main reason is just simplicity. If I use the tail stock with a Jacobs Chuck then I only get a couple of inches depth before I have to reset the tailstock. That is the only reason I usually do not use it. Thanks for the comments and question.

[@edejamircosta]

Stephen bom dia! Parabéns pela sua criatividade e qualidade do trabalho. Ficou indescritivelmente belo e exclusivo. Grande abraço!!

[@StephenOgle]

Edejamir Costa Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed this project my friend.

[@crackerjack3359]

What was the function of the 1/2' hole? It disappeared in the base as soon as you drilled out with the forstner bit?

[@jorgewilker2529]

Good evening, I wonder, what kind of wood do you use to make these parts? I'm from Brazil, and I'm searching the internet, and those studies found your video, and I was curious to know,, stop what type of wood that you use. Since I appreciate and look forward response.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Jorge for commenting. Greetings from Rockmart, Georgia. The wood I used in this video is Oak. It is porous wood but turns very well due to it's density. I hope I have answered your questions. Thank you for commenting and supporting my channel.

[@BeaulieuTodd]

Hi Stephen, looking for your opinion on Oak. Just got a number of large trunk sections last week from a freshly cut tree. Am about to get some Anchor Seal, but ... do you think I should try to encourage spalting on some of the pieces? I hadn't seen spalted oak, so I had assumed that it wasn't a species that spalts well. Thanks!

[@StephenOgle]

+Todd Beaulieu Thank you for commenting Todd. Brother you have a gold mine there. Oak does spalt well. Go ahead and seal a few and leave a few just on the ground out in the weather for spalting. Be careful to check within the first year as to not let it get to far gone. Just experiment and have fun with it. Hope this helps.

[@manuelgarza969]

Very nice vase what kind of lathe do you have.

[@StephenOgle]

+MANUEL GARZA Thank you Manuel. Glad you enjoyed this project. My lathe is a Grizzly G0462.

[@Antonsartor]

Very interesting project. Thank you. Was the wood fresh and wet?

[@StephenOgle]

Anthony Taylor Thank you Anthony. This wood had been kiln dried and was already stable. If you make one of these from wet wood it will probably warp on you as it dries. Thank you for your question and I really appreciate your support.

[@Masterfighterx]

Would love to get wood like this for free too! It looks stunning! Haven't seen all of your videoes, but have you ever gotten some nice figured wood?

[@StephenOgle]

Masterfighterx Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed this project. Yes I do get some nice figured wood. The curly or quilted look comes from compressed fibers on the underside of large branches on trees. This particular piece came from an oak tree being taken down at a Chuch and I took some of if with permission. Good pieces with nice figure can be found in almost all trees. I hope this answer helps and let me know if I can help with any questions.

[@Masterfighterx]

Stephen Ogle It even answer an unknown question! Didn't know how figuring in the wood came to be! Would love to just randomly find a nice piece of Flamed/quilted wood in the forest, or as a guy did, in a basket of firewood. He found some really nice quilted maple that he was using to warm his home. Is there anyway to tell from the outside of a tree that it has figuring?

[@StephenOgle]

Well, it is kind of like a box of chocolates. Look for the crotch or forks with large branches. Any unusual deformations of bark and things of that nature. Also the stumps (if you want to work for it) usually has really nice wood inside but you have to dig it up.

[@Masterfighterx]

Stephen Ogle Nice, thanks for sharing! :D Haha, yeah. Some work to get a nice piece :P

[@chrishachet8622]

Did you have any trouble with drying this?

[@SeeWhyMan]

What do you do if you find that your headstock and tailstock are not exactly aligned? Nice piece, by the way!

[@StephenOgle]

Curtis Wyman Thanks Curtis for your question. The height of the two should be the same and not adjustable. However, you should be able to manipulate one or the other side to side to align them. If height is the problem I don't know of a safe way to shim the head or tailstock. I hope I have been helpful. Thank you for supporting my channel.

[@kerriumeki3304]

i love ur sparkled oak vase. It is BEAUTIFUL. Do u have a web site to purchase ur work ?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. I do not have a website yet, but I have my domain name and working on a website now. I will post it on my videos once I get it up and running.

[@lucydennison9408]

Stephen Ogle

[@Misfit1026]

Any problems with the wood warping badly? I read that its limb wood. Limb wood is notorious for being bad structurally. It has a strong side and weak side. Since the limb is horizontal the bottom side of the wood is strong as it supports the weight of the branch, the top side isn't as strong as it doesn't hold the weight of the branch as much. Thats why timber companies never use limb wood, even off giant oaks that could be milled into lumber.

[@StephenOgle]

Misfit1026 Thank you sir for your question. Wood turnings from limb wood is not quite the same as they will not be supporting anything as lumber would. When this wood is green it will move a lot. Once it is cured there will be little movement at all. To answer your question. No this piece is still just as it was when I finished it. Thank you for this question and bringing up a good point. I appreciate the discussion.

[@marshallbrummel1860]

Nice work sir. Do you always turn without your face shield (9:00)?

[@bilbonanno4443]

Why boring by hand instead of using your drill chuck?

[@niklar55]

Question. Why dont you put you drill in a chuck in the tailstock?

[@StephenOgle]

+niklar55 Thank you sir. I use my tailstock Jacobs Chuck a lot. However, it was simply not needed in this project. The bit self centers so you do not have to worry about it coming out the side of the piece. It drills perfectly centered all the way down. I hope this helps.

[@niklar55]

Stephen Ogle OK tar!

[@Benwinch07]

Why did you drill the 1/2" hole by hand and not put the drill bit in the chuck?

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Ben for commenting. I generally use my drill chuck, but this time I used the drill bit with a handle just to show an alternative method for people who do not have a jacobs chuck. Thanks for your question and hope my answer helps.

[@Benwinch07]

Stephen Ogle Thanks, that does help. It was really confusing at first haha. Do you have to be extra sure to keep the bit straight when you run it in by hand to avoid runout?

[@StephenOgle]

No. The drill bit has no choice except to go straight up the center. Thanks again.

[@Benwinch07]

Stephen Ogle Thanks for the responses. I saw the finished product and it looks wonderful! Very nice job.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dondeere]

where are you get back on !!!!!!!!!

[@andrewwebber4623]

Hi how dry was the pice of wood to start with, lovely vase by the way

[@StephenOgle]

Thanks Andrew for commenting. This wood was around 8 to 10% moisture. At least it had stopped loosing weight from moisture. Glad you enjoyed this video.

[@lezlyyoung2217]

if i could make a vase like this i would be dirty on my wife for bringing rubbish home haha

[@hollisinman6989]

Where do you get your wood for projects like this?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Hollis for your question. I got this wood from a local tree service that was cutting it down on a Church ground. I just stopped and asked for it. Sometimes he will call me if he has some unusual wood to cut. It is free and they are happy to get rid of it. Hope you found this response helpful. Thanks for commenting.

[@Bertminator]

Very nice, but at 16:04, I would be a bit leery on drilling that hole freehand at that RPM. If the bit should catch or hook up, it'll tear your wrist up.....not to mention, if you used the tail stock, at least the bit would be centered. By hand boring it, you better be 100% straight with your eye / hand coordination.

[@StephenOgle]

Bertminator Thank you sir for commenting and I'm glad you liked this piece. The drill bit will self center and drive only straight through. I have had problems with green or wet wood though wanting to grip. I only use this method when I would have to do multiple resets on the tailstock. It really is quite safe and it does run straight down the center every time. Thank you for commenting and for your suggestions.

[@chainsaw5524]

Cartersville Fire Department.... As in Cartersville, GA? I am not far from you.

[@paul50pb]

How old was that piece of wood before you started turning it

[@StephenOgle]

+paul black Thank you Paul. It was dead on the tree and had just been cut by a tree service.

[@paul50pb]

Hi, Stephen I am just new to Woodturning. I live in Northern Ireland Due to my financial situation I cannot afford for lessons so I have had a lathe for nearly 7 months without using as I am being so confused with that many different ways in which way people go about using tools in different ways. And what they use them for. I have been very fortunate to have been left a lathe, and would have every possible tool going. I have a great excess to a lot of wood where I live and Spalted beech I reckon I could fill a lorry load with it.But the thing is I find as a Newbie it is great all these videos and I know you are restricted to a time scale but it would be lovely to actually see something made no matter how simple it was Just to be told which speed was being used and why that speed was being used throughout the whole video. Sorry about the rant but just love wood so much would someday like to get started LOL

[@timothymcswain6235]

Have u ever turned LIVE OAK?

[@StephenOgle]

timothy mcswain I think so but not sure.

[@timothymcswain6235]

Ok thanks

[@nicfilters4523]

does your shirt say campbellsville

[@StephenOgle]

It says Cartersville.

[@MrFishingfursnook]

Have you tried Coconuts?

[@StephenOgle]

MrFishingfursnook Not yet.

[@SUPERDAVE4EVER89]

where do you get the Chuck's at?

[@StephenOgle]

This particular chuck came from www.pennstateindustries.com although other chucks can be found at places like Woodcraft and Rockler.

[@StephenJoiner]

Good video, but were you dipping? Can't spit it out to speak on camera? :\

[@WolfLaxli]

Good color. What kind of wood.

[@StephenOgle]

+Wolf Laxli Glad you like it. The wood was Spalted Oak.

[@marsseeker6208]

+Wolf Laxli so you scrolled too fast away from the title before making a comment . no big deal .

[@bobeyang7010]

beautiful

[@StephenOgle]

+bobe yang Thank you sir. I am glad you enjoyed this project.

[@roughhands305]

Ogle is the man

[@hosseinhayati9820]

Thanks for sharing. But I can't hear anythign you say when playing laud music!

[@Malibu_Man]

wy would you not show the top being turned??? the most complicated part???

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Dennis. I did not show the Top half being turned mainly in th interest of time. The process is exactly the same as the bottom half until the tenon is removed and the top opened up, but that was shown. I hope this helps. Take care.

[@Malibu_Man]

@@StephenOgle with all do respect the process isnt the same because the shapes arent the same...would have just loved to see the top done...the bottom is a no brainer, but how was the top done???

[@narigasandroid]

very good

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.

[@jlyssagraywolf7503]

Nice

[@SUPERDAVE4EVER89]

I just don't wanna spend a whole lot of money on one and the ones I been seeing have been really expensive

[@StephenOgle]

I understand. The Barracuda 2 from PSI is a strong chuck and is priced very well. Just do not allow the teeth to start slipping when you tighten.

[@pagedeveloper]

The music is nice, but during the time that you are speaking, you have music running. So you can not be understood on what you are trying to say. You get the general idea, but it would be nice to totally understand. I am new to Turning, and would like to learn more about it. The vase is a really nice piece, I would like to find some like that...

Cartersville ga?

[@StephenOgle]

+Taco Online Yes.

[@jprest13]

Neat, do you ever sell anything at the farmer's markets?

[@StephenOgle]

I never have. I do not live in Cartersville just work there.

[@jprest13]

oh okay

You sure that is Oak? it looks like Poplar Spalted to me.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Mark for commenting. Yes this is Oak. It was from a dead branch. Thank you for watching.

I feel like that is a poor glue joint with tht cap. i guess its not going to see a lot of stress but end grain to face grain is not a glue joint. rule of thumb is you dont glue end grain.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Derek for your comments. I must disagree however. This is a glue join and it is strong also. I have turnings glued in the same manner that are many years old and have never had a problem with the glue joint between the face and endgrain. I used to share your concerns until I actually tested it myself. While not as strong as face to face grain joint the glue is still stronger than the wood itself and will almost never break along the glue joint itself. I really appreciate your comments and concerns and thank you for insight.

cool

ok thank you

The music is distracting in needs to be turned down several decibels. It is very hard to hear what you are saying.

[@StephenOgle]

I agree sir and thank you. I have finally gotten the hang of my video editor and can control that sort of thing now. These older videos were made with the editor that came with my computer and did not allow very much sound editing.

[@rplittle66]

I love wood working, just the artistry in the natural grains in the pieces of wood. Burl wood is my absolute favorite type of wood. I am definitely in need of a work shop LOL.

[@marsseeker6208]

why sawing it in half ? you can do without that .

[@StephenOgle]

+Mars Seeker Thank you sir and you are correct. However, at the time I did not have the heavy tools to hollow it all the way to the bottom. I do now and do not have to cut it anymore. Thank you for your insight.

[@marsseeker6208]

haha,, welcome . It looks very nice btw.

[@MaxSafeheaD]

They where going to put oak ... in landfill?!!! I can't think of anything much more senseless!!!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir. I could not agree more!

[@smnhpkns]

please turn the music off when your talking

[@StephenOgle]

Simon Hopkins Thank you for your suggestion. I have really been hammered on this subject and have made myself more mindful of this annoyance. My later videos are much better with the music "I think". I really appreciate your comments and suggestions. hopefully they will help me make my channel better. Thank you for your support.

[@coeneschamaun1735]

Why are you wearing your rings and watch? That was the first thing I was taught, was no loose clothing, or jewelry. Safe instead of sorry.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Coene for commenting. Thank you also for your observation. Fact is I just choose not to remove them. I am very careful to keep these items away from my equipment. If that is what you were taught and are comfortable with. That is the way you should work in your shop. This is just my way. I have never been hurt in the shop. Thank you for commenting and for supporting my channel.

Please don't chew tobacco, the incidence of mouth cancer through chewing tobacco or snuff is very high. You are too talented to waste your life this way. The vase is very nice.

[@deancamery5102]

You work in a very unsafe manner. Hope you survive

[@StephenOgle]

So far. So good.
