DIY Turned Sofa Legs

AD: I’ve partnered with @MinwaxUSA in this video to show how you can make an easy upgrade to your sofa by adding custom turned wooden legs. This is a simple turning project that can be made on a midi or a mini lathe. If you’re not comfortable turning your own sofa legs, there are many options online for sofa legs that are already turned. I show how I use and layer Minwax Color Stain and Design Series products to create a unique custom look that complements the color of my sofa and the décor of my room. These products are quick and easy to apply, come in an extensive range of colors, and result in a beautiful and durable finish! #keeponfinishing

Min-wax, You are using a great product. I have had good finishes on all my products with Min-wax for 50 years. Glad to see you back on your channel.

[@tjkoker]

The smile that launched a 1000 DIY projects. Great to see you back at work. Cheers!

[@updxgreg]

No handle required. I too find myself picking up a tool and using it, not bothering to attach a handle. Great project Ashley, well done! Enjoyed the “design process” and the stain play.

[@aaronparmeter8329]

I'm glad to see another video, and very glad to see Minwax was smart enough to partner with you. Your a gorgeous and smart woman, quite talented wood turner, with whom I am proud to say is teaching me alot. Keep up the great work!!

[@brunomckay1875]

Good to see you back and thanks.

[@apoallaith1975]

Good to see you back

[@JamesSmith-ji6yx]

Really glad to see you again, your you-tube presence has been missed. I always chuckle when you are wearing your black shirt/sweater and end up covered in white wood shavings. Thank you for an interesting topic.

[@stoneyblack6905]

Great to see you back, we missed you! Cheers Stoney...🇦🇺

[@Николай-щ2к4ц]

Ashley, you are a beautiful needlewoman! We wish you success and good health!

[@francescastevens3777]

Wow you made that look so easy! Also what great tools you have in your workshop! I’d be like a kid in a sweet shop if that was my workshop😛😍😁

[@BradPow]

Wonderful display of tool sharpness and geometry Ashley. Very soothing to watch.

[@michaelhofer9149]

Absolutely gorgeous! The woodturning looks good as well! 😇

[@Evel1847]

This is so great thank you. I turn from time to time as part of my woodworking. And I love it. But I also know that I overlook some of these more practical things like dressing up existing furniture. I’m inspired!

[@OriginalMomo]

👏 came out great! Never would have thought of the black over blue. Nice results.

[@МихалИваныч-щ1е]

Ashley, I can't stop admiring you! You and your hands!

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Wooohooo!! A new video! Made my entire day special. Thank you so much Ashley !! 😊 Charleston’s only superstar!!

[@jimgeelan5949]

Another lovely job ! Your definitely the Nigella Lawson of wood turning.

[@tonyburelle6633]

Missed this, don't know why I'm not getting the notification, anyways, great project, I wasn't sure I'd like the color, but that was spot on also, as always, great watching you create

[@dddube12]

That’s Great Ashley!!!

[@Wuschel081966]

It is always a great pleasure to watch you. Keep it up and greetings from Germany

[@carpeinferi]

You make turning look so smooth and effortless compared to most others that youtube pops up in recommendations.

[@terry2346]

A good project for carbide tools too!

[@craigb2366]

I live in Wilmington, I’ve gotta come visit your store! Love your work and videos! Ty

[@Firemandave911]

Finally some content worth watching!!!

[@diycentral]

Color combo turned out great. Especially with the hardware 👍

[@d.jayconley2353]

A drill bits called vix bits will do the job as self centering drill prior drive the screws into wood. Maybe you would reconsider them. I have been used them for years and you would love them!

[@douglasfoster1461]

Great to see you again!

[@donheckert5404]

Lovely work as always keep smilin Ashley😎😎😎

[@FredMcIntyre]

Turned out great Ashley! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@johnwilliamson7081]

OMG it has been a bit. Hey was getting worried. Glad to see ya back.

[@jenniferbassett3001]

I'm new to your channel Ashley! It's nice to see ANOTHER female woodworker😉 When I took my first woodworking class back in 2007 the lathe always scared the Dickens out of me so I never practice on it or made a project with with the one we had. I remember of my church he was getting rid of some of his big tools and he offered me, if I remember correctly, a full size lathe that he was just going to give me but there wasn't enough room in our garage and so he gave it to somebody else cuz I just kept avoiding him. Anyway watching you do this makes me think of one thing, and that is how do you keep your hands moisturized? What product do you use to keep your hands moisturized? Keep up the good work Ashley and I'm just curious are you doing your woodworking in Oregon, cuz that's where I'm at? Keep up the good work!

[@douglassiemens4245]

Thanks! I always learns something from your videos.

[@luizzahome]

I congratulate you been pretty adept at doing upholstery work I turkey👍🏻🇹🇷

[@glennrivers5258]

Ashley I hope your doing well. Love your work and videos. Hope you will continue posting more in the near future.

[@alanmilner629]

Hi Ashley love your video's question what's the best angle for wood turning tools uk Regards Alan

[@vitoriomartinez5955]

Hello Ashley. Good video and well explained. I would also like to know your protective helmet that you use in this video, where did you buy it or what manufacturer is it from? Thank you very much, greetings from Asturias, Spain. Vitoria

[@DeathSong]

@Ashely is that conditioner kinda like a sanding sealer or no? Love that black on the blue to bring out the grain. Looks awesome!

[@AshleyHarwood]

Yes, it is kinda

[@DeathSong]

@@AshleyHarwood awesome!! Thank you so much, I'll have to give it a try. You're a huge inspiration to me and an amazing person. Love seeing your work.. and hope to meet you someday :)

[@carolriley8472]

Definitely an upgrade to your sofa!

[@disorganizedorg]

The ability to vacuum or sweep under it is also an important consideration in determining leg length that I didn't hear mentioned.

[@cliffordfender1159]

Thank You !!

[@gabyrich4623]

Hello from Buenos Aires Argentina !!!!

[@yakbranson]

I actually did this few months ago. Same reasons you mentioned.👍

I'm sure this is a FAQ but what brand respirator do you wear? I work with aluminum and really don't want to breathe the airborne particles...

[@mehdinorouziacademy4758]

Hi dear Ashley, Could I ask you to do favor & prepare online classes for foreign students who don't have the chance to come to USA?? Thanks a million

[@johngrace199]

Question for you regarding your Vicmarc. Does your lathe have the 3 HP motor and if so, do you do 'coring' with it? I'll be getting my 'retirement' lathe in a few years and am curious how the Vicmarc is with respects to coring...thanks.

[@pambozkurt5277]

Missed your videos.

[@georgecuyler7563]

Just a curiousity question, how tall are you. You said once you had to build up the base of your machines.

[@gianlucamaccioni6876]

Complimenti 👍🔝🔝

[@scottmedori1437]

Some black shoe polish would also work to bring out the grain.

[@davidheidbrink1135]

Really nice, just don't nick them up with your Hoover! Good night from Indiana.

[@fredwienbarg5051]

That’s really a too simple of a project for a lady with your talents.

[@beneditoalvesdasilva]

De mais 👏👏👏👍🤗😘

[@0ohoaxo0]

Colab with april wilkerson would be awesome

[@deanlittle9090]

Hi Ashley, I have a couple questions about the SD Taper Lock turning chisels/handles. I live in Canada and not sure if you ship here, do you have an email address where I could contact you. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Dean

[@Stillnapie]

I love coming here for the videos, I always learn something even after 40 years of turning... but reading these guys comments gives me the creeps.....

[@troy9327]

Yeah it is definitely creepy and pathetic, but for some reason I can't stop reading them, it's like a train wreck you can't look away from.

[@jamesklove9629]

Some animals evolve more slowly, I say be respectful maybe some young girls are watching

[@outlawshedcreations5303]

Rather remind her of the good comments

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

With the follow on from a rattle now being a tapered leg for a sofa, 🤦‍♂️ (especially one she said was awkward to get up from due to the foot being too low, before she decided to buy it) I wonder if Ashley is running out of ideas!

[@noonesbusiness3951]

What did she do stop making videos....oh well I'll watch someone else
