How To Make A Wooden Spoon On The Lathe / Woodturning Project

[@jimholladay2383]

Thanks Alan. Had never seen a compression jig like that. Not a project you want to go to sleep on.

[@johnnydutcher208]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that and beautiful spoon!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Johnny!!

[@CipsWoodChips]

Great chuck idea, should be better that a simple jam chuck. Nice job! Cip

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Gunther

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Bill

[@MikeWaldt]

That's a great jig Carl, I am impressed how calm you stayed when it flew out, I'm with Brendan, the swearing would have been instant! Great job mate. Take care Mike

[@douglaspalmer9809]

love the new jig carl ,always nice to see a home made one as opposed to a shop bought one,,great looking spoon carl excellant as usual,,,,dougie....

[@slindsley1951]

Nice project Carl. It's always exciting when a project decides to disconnect itself from the lathe!

[@maciej7854]

Good job can be seen here Carl professionalism and experience

[@juliedembowski9039]

Great video. I used the video to show a student how spoons can be made. Really enjoyed it.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Julie!

[@ndshoreful1]

Did a good job on that one Carl. Desmond

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Philipe, I'm making a new jig if it don't work better I'll give that a try.

[@baconsoda]

I really admire your self-control when things go wrong...even with all the practice I've got in such situations I can still offend most people within 50 yards. Great project, I'll be trying this now that the garden season is closing and my woodturning season is beginning. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@TedAlexander24]

Very clever Carl. These spoons and scoops videos are very timely for me. Appreciate it.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alex, I think something like this could come in handy for a lot of projects. Take care, Carl

[@MichaelSouza_velhomirs]

hello! I am Brazilian and I still do my spoons with hand tools but the result of his work makes me rethink my technique. Thanks for the video!

[@dakusa_dave]

A Collette. Great idea, I will try it.

[@alansimpson596]

Hello Carl, It's always a great pleasure to log in KZbin and find a new video from you, one of the greatest gentlemen who shares his extensive knowledge. Thank you for introducing me to the compression jig. This was a great project and I'm grateful that my one-to-one tutorials on the use of the skew are paying off. My current pupil is Mike Waldt and he shows considerable promise with the skew. However, he has disappeared off to an English sea side resort which is famed for its oysters.

[@Bigcolestonia]

Thanks Carl , great video as always.

[@agib245]

Nice work. Good to see things going wrong, proves that your human.

[@cadaveramatore]

great job, I will try with a full circle as jig, I would do all cut by hand with a hand jig, and you take away 3 mm wood to close the plate that holds pressure so find it more efficient :3 Great idea.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you David, I found one that looks like it will work much better. I'll put the link in the description.

[@thiswoodwork]

Nice video! You taught me something new today, that compression chuck is great, definitely something for me to remember! Cheers, Alex.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan, the one-on-one tutorials are helping I'll get it someday :) Take care, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tim, I use Cloth backed sandpaper it holds up very well. Take care, Carl

[@timgates7816]

Carl I really appreciate the videos that you post. Can you please tell us what kind of sandpaper you use when you do the finish sanding? Thank you, Tim

[@VadimVadiS]

Unusual and excellent work, Carl!

[@oldmanhunter59]

Great looking project !!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Daniel Choate Thank you

[@Tim_Pollock]

Another great video Carl! I'm so glad that you leave in the trial and error parts so that we can learn along with you. Keep it turnin' buddy, Tim

[@wjneupe]

Thanks Carl for yet another informative video. Always enjoy watching you work.

[@uralmoto72]

You're welcome. Your videos are a great inspiration for me.

[@TheTinyTrailerWorkshop]

Hey Carl Another fine job... I like the compression jig idea and I really like the idea of a spoon. I will have to get out there and see what I can come up with...my coffee jar could use a new spoon! Larry

[@MiguelSancheztornoartesano]

Another very nice job Carl, a bit tricky and very interesting, thanks for sharing. Kind regards.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Cadaver

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Steve

[@JerryGiesler09]

I personally do like the 14-point spoon jig you fabricated later in another clip. It's a lot safer than the simpler one you have here. :)

[@Aleighton]

Hi Carl I make these but instead of the jig I take 2 of the chuck jaws out opposite ones so that you can put your square blank in and turn the hollow first and then put it between centres and turn the rest. Maybe give it a try

[@davidnarvaez8648]

Trabajo de calidad muy bueno y muy útil para el hogar sus técnicas son muy buenas gracias

[@CarlJacobson]

David Narvaez Thank you David

[@jarmstrong2843]

Outstanding, Carl!!!!!! I must have missed something when you made the jig. Will need to go back and look at the other video. This is something I will try to duplicate for myself.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! Yes I think I did a video making the jig.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Larry, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@minyongkim1355]

Very nice jig! It may better install some none-slip mat inside on it. Great Job!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Minyong Kim Thank you Minyong

[@beaustjohn2342]

nice work carl!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Desmond

[@ernieballard2621]

Great work Carl. You amaze me with your talent and brilliant ides. Thanks, Ernie

[@TheBrotherKnight]

Great project Carl. I was asked how a spoon could be turned on a lathe at a re-enactment show once and had no answer. If I am asked again at least I can look intelligent. On second thoughts maybe it would be wiser to direct them to your clip LOL. All the very best. David.

[@victordavilacortazar7533]

Bien arriesgado la forma de prensar la madera para tallar la cuchara, pero en todo caso es un excelente proyecto con un excelente acabado. Greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you,

[@CarlJacobson]

That makes two of us, Thank you

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Dougie

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Bartosz

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Andy, I'll give that a try.

[@CarlJacobson]

That one was close Brendan I almost offend half of Ireland :) The garden looks great you got quite a harvest. I think I try potatoes next year. I'm looking forward to your turning season :) Take care, Carl

[@errornosuchuser9196]

Great video Carl. Pretty clever little jig.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Abdul!

[@coololdtimer]

for food safe projects i love the way olive oil it looks and holds up really well at lest it has for me

[@frankorona1]

Congratulations, you have an amazing ability

[@CarlJacobson]

I could put together a feature film! lol I'll try to get something together by the end of the year.

[@philipekupferman878]

OK. hope it works... thanks for sharing all yours wonderfull work.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks Peter, yes it's amazing what a couple of Gs will do. Take care, Carl

[@CVCceo]

Carl, you must have enough footage to create a nice video blooper edit by now. If you have already one and I missed it, can you let me know how to find it? And if you haven't done one yet, I can't wait to see one. Maybe Halloween would be a good time to release one showing all the objects flying off the lathe? I think these "scoop" projects are among my favorites. Thanks for the great work.

[@FelishaWild]

You had me diving for cover on that one Carl. LOL Great project. Thank you for sharing. :)

nice job Carl.. keep go on.. thanks from turkey

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Ali

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

That was awesome, I am going to try one of those real soon

[@CarlJacobson]

+Maryke Dykhuizen Thank you!

[@gunterschone8402]

Hi Carl, the spoon is a very beautiful work. The idea of ​​the bracket where you've embedded the spoon and have then clamped into the lathe is not bad. just as you have kept the roughing gouge at the beginning and you cover it with the hand, so that the chips do not fly around.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Great video and jig illustration. I worry about that handle flying around. One moment of inattention and whack - a major hurt to a hand. :( Alan Stratton

[@CarlJacobson]

I use cloth backed sandpaper.I didn't on this one, but you can use rice to calculate the volume.

[@LinnIam]

Great work!!!!

[@sparky0288]

looks like a great coffee scoop too me...

[@BuildStuffwithAJ]

This is a great looking spoon, what size blank did you start with?

[@CarlJacobson]

It was about 2" by 8"

[@mrzik2269]

Love this channel

[@lsdeska186]

Привет Карл )) Я много смотрел Вашего видео и ждал когда же заготовка вылетит из станка . Мне кажется в некоторых видео Вы работаете на грани фола)) А так видео очень нравится )))) Спасибо )

[@alejandrovazquez2034]

very good me gusto mucho su idea es genial y muy profesional

[@CarlJacobson]

+Alejandro Vazquez Muchas gracias Alejandro

[@bobbieiler]

That is great! Thanks for sharing - you're an inspiration!

[@locke3141]

Great project. Just got my first lathe last week and have done two bowls and a few pens. I am definitely going to try to replicate some of the stuff i have seen you make. I find my problem is I dont exactly know which tools to use when. Do you have a video explaining this kind of thing? If not, that could be a very helpful thing for somebody like me. I also cant seem to get a good cut sometimes. Could be a function of cheap tools, or not sharp enough maybe...still playing around though.

[@ИльяФеникс-з2о]

Good time of day! I really liked the idea of fasteners...And I want to give You some advice...I'm not that good in English so that your comment will be my language))And what if in the mandrel do not big emphasis to detail has been fixed and rested against a recess in the pot...I think it will be easier and more reliable..

[@N5IWA]

I am sure you have answered this some ware but what sandpaper do you use? I am thinking about wet sanding so I don't keep the paper so long. I let it get too dull. How did you calculate the volume of the scoop?

[@davidkirkland6358]

Good job, Carl. Would you be so kind as to provide the link to the instruction on making this jig that you eluded to in the video, please? Thank you.

[@robertbrusellenglishguitarist]

Great video Carl. Would it help if you used a hosepipe clip (Jubliee clip) on the fixture? It would possibly bring a little more pressure on the spoon in the fixture. It's just a thought, that's all.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Robert! Good idea! I think that would work better!!

[@alpapounet]

superbe réalisation ,avec quelle produit faite vous vos finitions merci

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alain

[@MicSokol]

I am not a woodturner, but I couldn't help asking: why you don't cut the blank in half on a bandsaw which would result on having two spoons and less wood to remove on the lathe? BTW I enjoy watching your videos.

[@kenlor71]

+RrahimStruja The size of the bowl determines the size of the wood needed. On the lathe he turned the handle first then put it in a chuck to shape the bowl. Cutting the block of wood in half would only work if he was going to hand carve the handle.

[@MichaelLRitzi]

Very nice. Thanks, MikeR

[@CarlJacobson]

HI Chris, I have another channel where I talk about things like this. Just let me know if there is something specific you would like to see if I don't have a video already. Search Woodturning Q&A

[@todds4101]

Very nice work!!!! I think I'm going to have to try one of these in the near future. I made some salad forks for Christmas gifts this last holiday season. Turned out pretty nice, but I haven't tried a spoon like this. Thanks for the video!!! :)

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Todd! I'd like to see it when you're done, if you want to share. thewoodshop.tv

[@fredabellefleur5418]

good work for your first.

[@CarlJacobson]

+Freda Bellefleur Thank you Freda!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Steve, Yes it keeps you awake.

[@rodrigopemiranda]

Very good!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mike, I make so many mistakes it's old hat.....LOL Take care, Carl

[@crmusicproduction]

Very nice too! Question, what oil would you recommend to make this food safe, as this would make a really good soup spoon, although with my appetite I might need to make my one somewhat larger lol

[@CarlJacobson]

chris randell Thank you Chris, I would use Salad Bowl Finish. It's a great food safe, and durable finish.

[@crmusicproduction]

Thanks Carl. I will put that on my shopping list!

[@mr.e7201]

Bit late to the party here, but I'm wondering if it'd be worth bolting on some counterweight for the jig. You're effectively making a bowl with a handle, so would it be worth using a bowl gouge for hollowing out?

[@CarlJacobson]

With something this small you really don't need counterweight. A bowl gouge would work if you have a small one. The one I have is a little to big.

[@rp729]

looks great! what does the sanding with mineral oil do i've never seen that?

[@CarlJacobson]

Ryan Pierson Thank you Ryan, I sand with the Mineral oil to cut down on the sanding dust.

[@richardkunicki5684]

Thanks I gotta try it

[@philipekupferman878]

You could use hot melt glue... and after use some alcohol to break the melt glue... try it

[@Peet6644]

You could add an extra captive donut ring to the jig. But it would ruin the flying spoon trick.

[@megabigbear666]

Can you put a clamp behind it to help tighten it.

[@CarlJacobson]

yes a clamp would help. I made a jig with a clamp on it after this video.

[@ColinTonkasdad]

excellent..

[@CarlJacobson]

The Lathe turns the wood so you can shape it with the tools.

[@georgepostins5785]

Im a new turner . could you tell me if I put on a sanding sealer and then a salad bowl finish, is it still food safe/ Thanks george

[@CarlJacobson]

I believe so George, I don't use sanding sealer myself. Take care, Carl

[@johnwachter6975]

Carl how did you figure scoop size related to measurement example 1 or 2 tablespoons.

[@CarlJacobson]

I just eyeballed it, I'm sure it's not exact.
