Woodturning | Basket Illusion

[@MarklTucson]

Very cool idea for storing a bottle stopper that won't stand up. Those basket illusions are really impressive.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mark!

[@markchoitz443]

cool project Carl, always enjoy the basket illusions that you create!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy!

[@davidmorgan7522]

Great little project Carl. Really enjoy doing basket illusion also. Matter of fact I built a holder and platform after watching one of your videos about 6 or 7 years ago. Still using the holder with dedicated burner but have changed the platform a few times as my lathes got larger. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos! Take care, Dave

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Dave! It is a great tool for doing this sort of thing.

Carl you do beautiful work. Hi, I grew up across the street from your Grandma Katie. 👋

[@CarlJacobson]

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I bet those basket illusion pieces smell great!

[@CarlJacobson]

Yes they do 🙂

[@glencrandall7051]

Cool project Carl. I am happy that you enjoy this type of work. Me, I hate doing more than one of anything. Way too many beads and lines for me to handle. Even though you make it look so easy, I'll pass on this one. Still, thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Glen, it can be a bit tedious 😐

[@laceyhansen1815]

I always enjoy your videos. I made a platform (copying you)) for basket illusions - works well and I thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@CarlJacobson]

That's awesome, thank you Lacey.

Excellent form, Carl! Never thought of a stopper for a box or vessel. Great job.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jay!

[@SoCoMOwoodwork]

Beautiful piece Carl.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy!

[@williamellis8993]

Nice, Carl. Great way to store the stopper after the bottle is empty, too. Hopefully often lol. Bill

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Steve!

[@antonio.zanella]

I love the bottle stopper!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Like what you did, great job

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you 🙂

[@randypenney6413]

The beads really look great. I really wondered about sanding after using the beading tool. Surely sanding is required but that would ruin the beads???

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! Yes sanding will ruin the beads, I don't do any sanding.

[@jackthompson5092]

Neat Carl.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jack!

[@alanneel2749]

Another great project! You use easy wood tools, how do these cutters compare to the on line bargain cutters ? Can you provide some commentary with out getting in trouble 🙏

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan! I would stay away from the cheep cutters. They aren't very sharp even new.

[@terryreed1421]

This just my opinion but I think lowering the temperature of the pyrography tool would have helped the final look.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks for the tip Terry!

[@alancole6912]

Carl, when you're sanding the recess, what is the material you're using? It doesn't look like regular sandpaper. It looks like a sort of mesh. Thx.

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Alan, It's Mirka mesh sandpaper. Here's the link www.turningwood.com/ It works great!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Looks amazing Carl. What tool are you using to do the horizontal burning lines please? Take care Carl. Cheers, Huw

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Huw! It's a wood burner here's the link. www.amazon.com/shop/thewoodshoptv

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@CarlJacobson Thanks Carl. Appreciate it

[@lVl1GGL3]

What kind of wood did you use for this? Seems like it turned like butter 😊

[@CarlJacobson]

It's Maple

[@nancybrennemann2203]

Carl, what speed are you turning when you use the cards to burn? I have t had much success with that technique. Thanks!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Nancy, I run it at 2000 rpm for the burning.

[@woodbutcherjc]

Great job. What burner are you using?

[@CarlJacobson]

Here's the link www.amazon.com/shop/thewoodshoptv
