Hi Mike, looked for you at the AAW show but didn't run into you. Spent some time with your buddy Ken at Woodturners Wonders, and picked up his Inertial sander. Spent a bunch of time watching Stewart Batty turn bowls! That guy is quite talented. Hope your show was good too! I had a blast.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sorry we were not able to connect. Lots of people so easy to miss folks. I really enjoyed the symposium.

[@1954JDR]

Wow, those are beautiful.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@timvillwock8887]

I am new to wood turning so I love how well you narrate as you go. You make me think I can actually do this turning thing. LOL

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You CAN. It is not Rocket surgery.

[@jeanlong5965]

Love the tiny bird house.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you, Jean.

[@georged1209]

Good info as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Any time!

[@LewisKauffman]

Cool little ornament, Mike, Thanks!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you like it, Lewis! These birdhouses are one of my favorite turning projects. The birds are fun too.

[@kengunnell6398]

Love how you make it look simple and make the simple look fancy. I always like how you narrate your hand tool use. I know to us experienced turners it is second nature but it never hurts to hear it said as there are beginners out there and I sure like the reminders. Have a great holiday to you and your family.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you very much, Ken! Ye, floating the bevel is second nature when you have been turning a whil but it is something you have to keep reminding students in a workshop. God bless.

[@paintilludrop]

You really are teaching...I will understand more when i am in class. What would you suggest for beginner teaching project??

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Start with a mallet. Check out this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLG3S-gdoXeXUAIr-bwZGdjeidiN-mUxqJ

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Good video, we make these much the same way. Sam

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Sam. I figured I would take advantage of seasonal popularity of ornament videos. I needed to turn a few for Christmas and enjoy these. This was the first time I textured them after watching one of your earlier birdhouse ornament videos.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Mike, I am loving the tub buddy....It pops up all over and is a big help. I am really close to upgrading. What do you think. Happy Christmas. did you get your new lathe. Sam

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Merry Christmas to you and Cheryl, Sam. Tube Buddy saves me a lot of time. Still waiting on my new lathe.

[@MarklTucson]

Piece is really nice. Which Hunter tool were you using? It looks interesting. Do you know how it performs for acrylics?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Do not remember the name but it was the small one for ornaments and such. I have nevr used it for acrylics. Because it slices I doubt if it would work as well as a flat carbide scraper.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Nice ornament. Did you finish the body of the house? Have you tried the negative rake version of the round carbide tool bit? Also, D-Way Tools has some very nice negative rake double ended tools designed specifically for boxes and small spindle projects that really work well and I don’t have to have 20 years of turning experience to use successfully. Have a great holiday season and stay safe!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I used a shellace based friciton polish. I have several HSS negative rake scrapers so do no plan to buy a carbide one. The Hunter tool slices and leaves a superior finish to a NRS, especially on a soft wood like box elder that is more prone to tearout.
