Big Log, BIG Lathe

I finally got a big lathe!! It's a Laguna Revo 18|36 and it's awesome! I've been wanting a full size lathe for a while, so I'm super excited to partner with Laguna for this big guy. It has so many features that I've always wanted, but check out this link to see for yourself bit.ly/3nxm1c3
The first thing I did was put this heavy, unbalanced log on it and tried to make the biggest vase I could. Roughing out of round logs on my small lathe was usually the worst part, but this time it was actually fun. I was able to go at a decent speed the whole time, and my body took much less of a beating. I have a lot more big projects that I've been waiting to do, so hit subscribe to see them all!

THAT WAS AMAZING!

[@cookiescoop6065]

Wow that turned out great 👍

[@michaelhofer9149]

I think you are now using a lathe worthy of your talent. Forget not from where you came on your journey of woodturning. It is a gorgeous lathe and I look forward to the projects you create with it! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll keep getting what you’re getting! Awesome!

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks so much! I’ll always have fond memories of my first lathe, but also super happy to finally move up

[@kreech68]

OK - that was an informative video about what you can do with a BIG SWING lathe !!! Liked and subscribed!!

[@LynnCindy]

WOW! That was a BIG log, and that new lathe didn't seem to wobble at all with it. That was pretty cool, and also very interesting to see how deep the cracks can run inside a log of that size. Nice finished product as always. Take care.

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks as always Lynn! I’m always hopeful cracks don’t go the whole depth, but in this case I think they looked ok when all was said and done

[@rumasaxena2684]

Fabulous!!!

[@GRIZZ357]

Sweet great job

[@sammiceli7645]

Awesome lathe and I love the way the vase came out, especially the popping grain with the finish. I use a 1953 Craftsman lathe, but it gets the job done. Sam from N E USA

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks Sam! I’m actually jealous of your lathe a bit, those old Craftsman machines were usually bulletproof and heavy

[@stephanie09.11]

I am always amazed how fast people can turn on a lathe. 🤣. I have the smaller Laguna and love it! I am a beginner. Videos like these are so inspirational.

[@carolriley8472]

I could tell it is brand-new...it's so much cleaner than mine. I've had mine for 2 years and I love it! Nice turning, too!

[@CookWoodworks]

I love this lathe too! Unfortunately it’s already very dirty haha

[@waynehillmannakapenncrafte9587]

Hey, you went out and got yourself a new lathe...NOT FARE!!!! GOOD FOR YOU Ill bet it was nice to be able to turn a log that size!!! Great Job

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks Wayne! It does feel like cheating to finally have an amazing lathe haha

[@ruffwoodworkshop449]

I got this Revo back in March. Love it. It was a nice upgrade from a HF bench top.

[@CookWoodworks]

Yeah it’s a great machine. You must know that exact feeling of seeing it spin smoothly something that would have made a bench lathe wobble right out of the room

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice work, great lathe, I bought a Harvey T-50, 2 years ago. I think they are very similar. Keep safe, John

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

DUDE!!!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you man! You’ve been doing full-size lathe projects on your little Jet for so long, I can’t wait to see what kind of crazy stuff you’ll be able to do with an actual full-size lathe! This vase is perfect example of that! It looks great! Just one suggestion, the Laguna LED lathe light is awesome! (If you don’t already have it, I may have missed it in the video)

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks Seth! That little Jet is a great lathe, but man working on this big Laguna is like playing on easy mode haha. I don’t have the light, but it’s on my long list of future upgrades. Any other suggestions?

[@DanielH]

That grain looks fantastic

[@YamabikoWoodArt]

Cool lathe! Amazing peace✨✨ Congratulations👏

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks man! Now I have two lathes like you do

[@michelehiggins1878]

Very nice work! And congratulations on the new machine. You really made that Jet sing. I can hardly wait to see what you can do with this new Laguna. That was an awful big log. Go big or go home. Way to go big! 👍👍👍

[@CookWoodworks]

Thank you! The Jet was great but this big Laguna is a whole other level. I already have an even heavier piece of wood I’m working on now haha

[@jackthompson8019]

Great turning and I do mean big.

[@Umberto.Goglia]

Fantastic!👏👏👏

[@CookWoodworks]

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

OMG, this 500 lb lathe makes your Jet look tiniy tiny Drew !! Way to go👍 Take care. -Mike😷

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks Mike!

[@doomusrlc]

[@CookWoodworks]

[@kreech68]

[@mostrico]

Very cool piece, I love the 18/36 man is an awesome machine, I have a question for you, what finish with you use on that piece? It look really nice!

[@CookWoodworks]

This one I used danish oil

[@TexasTurnings]

Congrats on the new lathe, gonna miss you in the small lathe club! Beautiful piece!

[@CookWoodworks]

I’ll still use the small one when I get another dumb idea to turn something messy ;)

[@rosangela3012]

😍😍😍 Linda 👏 👏 👏

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Nice lathe! It handles that log really easily! What is the wood?

[@CookWoodworks]

Thanks, it’s a big improvement for sure! I’m not actually sure what the wood is, it came from a firewood pile

[@elif.9695]

Did the center spur come with the lathe????

[@CookWoodworks]

Yep!

[@williampitts7646]

I'm interested in that BIG gouge you're using. Where ya get something like that? What size is it?

[@CookWoodworks]

It’s a Sorby 3/4”. Love it for roughing, it’s nice and heavy

[@williampitts7646]

Looks like it goes through that wood so smoothly. Gotta get one for myself.

[@armus550b]

How on earth did that g3 chuck handle that stump without a spindle steady? You still had a lot of wood left after the forstner.

[@CookWoodworks]

Part of the reason I have a huge vicmarc now haha

[@damienzinck2526]
