WOODTURNING: MAKING A BABY RATTLE

[@brentnoel5683]

Hello Ashley. I have been a wood worker for 40 years. Lately I have spent more time in my metal working shop. Now I have my first grandchild on the way and am excited about woodworking again. I really enjoyed your video on this rattle and your clear calm presentation. It is nice to see a younger person getting excited about the craft.

[@skitzxplods]

Never thought I'd find a video on making a baby rattle so interesting but I did. Every single part of this video can be applied to so many projects. Thank you Ashley for all of your wonderful videos☺

[@bradbyers7505]

I love that design. It's all about process and product.

[@fashionwoodwork4623]

Hello Ashley I rembering my childhood memories this so good your work of baby rattle again I want to go my childhood days you are amazing.

[@christopheramey6567]

Just one more beautiful project... my kids are not so young anymore but would be a marvellous gift for my future grandchildren💕 Thank You so much Ashley for giving us so much light in our eyes. Have a great year too. See U. Kind Regards from Switzerland

[@keithburch5506]

As usual I really enjoyed watching you work. Always a pleasure, no matter what you are doing. Keith here, 65, Hickory NC.

[@Tracker7266]

Hello Ashley. Recently starting watching your videos and absolutely love the work you do. The massive walnut table, the rattles, the sea urchin ornaments ... some simple and some complex. A good mix and you make it seem so effortless. Your breakdown and videos are clean and professional. Not a lot of chit chat or background music. If I may compliment you to ..... a beautiful lady.

[@garywarren2856]

Thanks for the idea. I mostly turn pens. Turned a couple of rattles this morning. Learned some new skills with this process.

[@chrisjohnston2449]

you never cease to amaze us. Awesome video

[@blunderbuss9927]

Really enjoy watching Ashley’s videos - great smile, gentle voice, and wonderful technique. Her teaching is bright and shiny with no condescension. A true pleasure of education prowess.

[@volkerpetersen2671]

Your camera and lighting is the best i have seen so far. Thx for your vids!

[@AshleyHarwood]

Glad you like them!

[@PBUCKY1969]

I’m a gonna be a grandad in June so I’m making one of these, thanks for the idea! ( love your workshop by the way, so jealous!) - nice work!

[@woutervanniekerk5499]

Holy balls you are a beautiful wood turner. Thank you for being such a skilled worker and taking the time to show us all.

[@norm5785]

Great project, well done, thank you for sharing this with us today, from Henrico County Virginia

[@grantfahlman1815]

Very nice! What a great model for production-line rattle assembly. And, at the same time, learning a few other ideas that can be applied to other items. Definitely worth watching!

[@pajosgarage]

One year later and you have made one for yourself! Congratulations and warm welcome to your future new family member!

[@dustman1218]

Perfect timing for this video! My wife and I just found out we're expecting. I was just looking for some different ways to turn a rattle or two. Thank you!

[@todddembsky8321]

I am sorry, but this is absolute magic !!!! Stunning control and concentration. For us from the 60's, the only thing to say is cool dude, that is boss.

[@dankrupp6584]

Absolutely excellent! You make it all look so easy. Thank you!

[@glencrandall7051]

Very nice Ashley. I made a bunch of rattles about 20 years ago that were very similar to yours. I used similar construction but the rattles were navy beans. I believe yours are proportioned a bit better than mine though. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2021 and stay healthy.

[@tonyburelle6633]

That was wonderful, always so enjoyable watching you create something out of nothing

[@anthonyroberts9034]

When I saw the Still photo in the preview, I was like, "What ? Ashley is wearing a Sparkling shirt ?" - should have known it was really wood chips !! As always, absolutely Beautiful piece ! Thank you.

[@joeywalker4392]

Interesting way of making them. Have made a few baby rattle but never thought of doing them this way. About to make one for a friend's baby. So think I'll try your way. Have a nice weekend.

[@pietromonfreda3232]

Love your way of doing these. I have made several myself but never use the chuck so I had 2 nubs that needed sanding. I will try your method. I

[@billyford7959]

I've been turning for 10 years and I've honestly learnt loads from this video thankyou very much for a great video :)

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Totally agree! Love the batch turning technique and the rubber tubing on the pen jaws!

[@ernestomartinezespinoza9596]

Aprecio mucho su trabajo. Muy delicado. Felicitaciones!!!

[@jppoisson5332]

I really like the choice of wood used, it's very beautiful! you can do whatever you want, even geisha balls or whatever ....

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Those are so cute Ashley. BTW.. I love the design on your wall. I'll be keeping this video for ideas.

[@tangobravowhiskey7771]

Very nice production. Love the music.

[@IndieKidness]

Great content - my closest friend has just announced his wife is 12-weeks pregnant, so very much looking forward to presenting them with one of these :)

[@kanapodfungsaichon5158]

Wow,. Ashley Harwood., You are good idea and awesome project .

[@richardabbott5601]

Beautiful project. I have a small lathe and been only turning pens. But was thinking about making 1 of these since my wife and I are going to be grandparents

[@tamastoemoeri4689]

I like the contrast of your finished product Ashley-I do also like the plan itself :"How it is made" baby rattle By Ashley-well done! :-)

[@simonr6793]

One pretty baby rattle made by one pretty lady!!!. As always 💯% 👍🇬🇧.

[@AJNicholls]

I tend to find myself watching your hands more than anything in your videos while turning. I find that we focus so much on tool presentation that we (I) neglect hand placement, and you do a wonderful job of modeling proper hand positioning.

[@Theoriginalchriskurc]

Agreed. I was stuck by how relaxed her hands were when doing the bead cuts.

[@BenNawrath]

That came out great! I made a rattle when my best friend had his kid (out of cherry from a tree in my parents yard in Vermont that he helped me cut down), except I split a block, drilled some holes in the split faces for the rattles, then glued it back together. You can’t even see the seams! I definitely broke thru once and had to redo 😇

[@juventusforlife8785]

You are very talented, a beatiful smille!

[@russmartin4189]

Beautiful little project! Those massive C clamps are great. Harbor Freight has some long throat ones cheap. I love your tools. I can only dream.

[@craighill1606]

beautiful project by a talented lady

[@فارسالجبوري-ظ9ز]

It's more than beautiful Thank you very much

[@SWBStX]

I've got a couple of nieces and/or nephews due later this year and this sounds like a great gift. Thanks for the idea and the video!

[@revtoyota]

Great work Ashley the rattles look wonderful.

[@neabud]

After your announcement, I had watch this video again. Maybe time to make a few. Again, congratulation👶

[@jageo48]

Ashley, a 3" paint roller works excellently to achieve the .0002 optimum glue thickness. It can be stored in a Ziploc and left in a cold place, even a fridge. No need to worry 'bout glue dropping on the beads.

[@jonathanbrowne8884]

Happy New Year! Those are so cool! Glad Pat is feeling better!

[@kylezilke4921]

I like your wood glittered shirt. I really love this project.

[@back-corner-turnings]

I’ve turned a couple of baby rattles. Both were in a lidded box style. I’m looking forward to trying to make a few like this.

[@WesleyRobinson]

Thank you Ashley! You have given me some good inspiration to make a rattle for my soon to be nephew

[@alsaffarstudios]

Lovely project 👍🏼

[@markfishburn8284]

That turned out really nice,Thank you for sharing your video.

[@kiwdwks]

Always learn something...thanks Ashley!

[@brentjackson5553]

That looks great. Nice gift idea.

[@kennethnuttle7251]

Like the video, one of your best The pin jaws with rubber is a great idea.

[@Striker9]

Oh wow I never would have thought of that. Very awesome.

[@crazybuckeye2315]

You’re work is as amazing and beautiful as you are

[@alcinosoares2229]

Beautiful job.

[@davidmatheson7036]

I can see from the finished product why you decided to thin the walnut a little. Great job!

[@benjohnson6248]

What a beautiful piece!

[@yassin7543]

A piece of art!! Don't the glued parts - in time - come apart?

[@eseabee1]

Thanks for showing this very nice work as always

[@wethreetums]

Very creative. Love it.

[@csabeszt]

Bravó Eszter! Mindig lenyűgöz mikor látom ahogy eggyé válsz a fával! 👍🏻

[@texashula2213]

Seriously love this.

[@aaronparmeter8329]

Not in any wierd way, but...I do love watching you make stuff, the processes are very cool. I am trying to start doing this stuff myself. So I am VERY interested.

[@jeffwerter365]

Awesome and inspiring video as always. You make it look so easy and effortless. I do have a question on your finish choice. Don't nut oils potentially go rancid and would mineral oil be a better choice for something likely to be in the mouth of a baby? Thanks for the much needed break from the real world.

[@kenburnette1121]

Nice job!

[@АндрейСафонов-п2с]

Ashley! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! Health, prosperity, success! It's very nice to see you and your smile!

[@MichaelBechlivanis]

Great video !!! It's nice to see a woman wood-turner!!!

[@vinesofoldmission]

Great project! Thanks

[@johngreystoneridge4813]

Really like your projects. I'm relatively new to turning about two years off and on. I have made a few rattles in and my wife made a suggestion that I would like to pass on. When making items for little ones she suggested to stay away from nut wood's and finishes. You never know about nut allergies. I use ash for my rattles and salad bowl oil for my finish. I also use wet dry sand paper with the salad bowl oil. 1200 is the last grit. The wet dry paper and the salad bowl oil make for a very smooth and soft type finish for little mouths. Keep up the great work......

[@UltraD52]

Mahoney's Oil is filtered and heat treated to deal with this problem.

[@seanthompson6720]

I made a rattle last week for my sister who is expecting, made it with solid mesquite and did a lap joint

[@grynsnapper]

Such a beautiful piece - you are so inspiring, Ashley. Happy Newyear . . .

[@loucinci3922]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ArtinSinger]

What a great idea and video 👍 Thanks for sharing!

[@jonnyglucose72]

Happy New Year and cheers to you!

[@lyleturner6964]

Awesome project.

[@joerash9020]

Long time fan love your work

[@petergwatts9037]

Lovely stuff Ash Wood.

[@jannitert6576]

Many thanks for this beautiful video, greetings from us in Holland🌷🌷

[@tonymontgomery1033]

Nice project. I did some a few years ago with captured rings that made the rattle. Never put anything inside though.

[@billhackley3540]

hadn't even heard of a vortex tool, Cindy Drozda thankfully had the info i needed

[@SteveC38]

That Came Out Awesome Ashley!

[@LOOMIS1638]

That was marvelous!

[@AJ-ln4sm]

Great little project! Happy new year ❗

[@ИгорьЗакервашевич]

Happy New year

[@ajmagic111]

Enjoyed the video Suggestion When using the bandsaw need to stress the importance of not cutting unsupported round stock and need to always lower the height of guide so minimum length of blade exposed

[@nava1uni]

Nice video Ashley

[@customcraftsbybruceslaton4872]

unique idea, love them

[@gadfly149]

I use MAHONEY’S on baby rattles and toys. No chemicals and food safe for babies. Plus, it gives a beautiful result!

[@Ricky16317]

Looks great! I love Mahoney's, I tend to steer away from it for items intended for infants/toddlers though. I'm not sure how much of a concern it really is, but nut allergies are common in little kids and I don't know how much of a reaction they might get from a walnut oil finish, so generally I steer toward just a mineral oil. It might need a touch up more often, but I know there's no risk of an allergic reaction

[@curtisbancroft4070]

Love the video and going to have to try this one out. Always look forward to your video

[@johnwoods6296]

Altogether very sweet

[@juanrt1100]

Es muy bonito!!!

[@richkeelan1312]

That's awesome great job

[@Grunt49]

Too cute!

[@rickwalker557]

Awesome project! My oldest son told me today they are expecting a baby! Now I have a mission, with a deadline.

[@Nano15151]

This is brilliant!

[@josesegovia1715]

Happy New Year. Great job. Un abraso de tejas
