another fantastic video Zed!I love these long, detailed videos. A proper masterclass and an opportunity to watch a skilled crafts woman at work! Thank you again for your time and dedication, you are awesome my friend!

[@WildCraftedHome]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Really thrilled for the feedback. Masterclass really is a good word. I’ve been telling some folks that it’s much of what you’ll hear me say in a 1 to 2 day course… just missing the hands on help and practice!

[@georgeallen8781]

I really enjoyed your enthusiasm, and watching the skill is just perfect. I did my first turning on an electric lathe, but I really want to build a pole lathe

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you so much for your kind words and to hear you found this video useful, warms my heart immensely ~Peace~

[@josephstaup8868]

I think this video has been the best you have ever done. The amount of information has helped me immensely. Thanks so much.

[@WildCraftedHome]

Really high praise. I’m so glad it has come across this way and helps:) It’s a tricky thing to communicate and I work hard on figuring out how to do that! Would love to see what you make!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thats high praise and all testament to Raleighs amazing presence on camera! ~Peace~

[@curiousman1672]

Sniffles. Make me think of the fall that is approaching. Summer is dying and soon, there will be the unpleasant smell of pumpkin spice. BTW........very cool video. Very talented.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~

Amen to that Benoit, Raleigh was amazing to spend time with and to document her process ~Peace~

I need to write this on my wall. I feel seen and loved. Thank you:)

[@juliacamp6790]

This is so exciting. Now i want to build a pole lathe!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you kindly, I hope to be filming this year on how to build a pole lathe ~Peace~

[@howardnd9043]

I ABSOLUTELY love this. As a guy who grew up using electricity as my "friendly" enemy it's great to see you doing this old school. THANK YOU! The early usage of the treadmill, without the horse. Like I said, I love this.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed yes these techniques have been around for a very long time and it's wonderful seeing makes like Raleigh keep them alive ~Peace~

[@Henry-n7n8]

good looking bowl you made.. thanks for the information...

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you for the kind words and indeed, Raleigh is one talented maker ~Peace~

[@WildCraftedHome]

Hey everyone it’s me Raleigh in the video. I found a few mistakes in the video that I said… 1st - the drill bit needs to be slightly SMALLER than the tenon on the mandrel!! Sorry about that everyone. 1:02:43 2nd - I forgot to mention that the cord needs to be between you and the mandrel as you wrap it around, otherwise it will be rotating the wrong way!! I do mention this later in the video tho! 1:23:53 If I find other mistakes in what I said I’ll edit the comment here😅

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you Raleigh!

[@missbackwoods]

I was on your site, unfortunately I didn't see any tutorial or plans on how to build a foot lathe. Do u know when one will be up?

[@ronladmarsh]

When do you think you’ll have the pole lathe plans available?

[@Gunni1972]

Thank you very much. This has to be the most meticulous video on that topic i know. Nice bowl. And the intricacies of working on the pole lathe were explained very well. Really good stuff.

[@WildCraftedHome]

Hello, We are slowly working on them. We have applied for some funding and will be notified in a few weeks if we get it which would allow us to dedicate the time this year to plans. We are aiming to release them by the end of 2024. If you are eager please get in touch and I will be happy to chat about the basics of them!@@missbackwoods

[@saragartlan7250]

So happy to find this video. Super encouraging:) I've been turning on a pole lathe for about a year now and have hit a spot of frustration. This video has me back at it with enthusiasm. Such nice little insights! Thanks to you both.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words Sara and to hear this video has helped in some way, happy turning! ~Peace~

[@stantilton2191]

This was wonderful, very well explained in technique and differences between them. She is a treasure and an amazing artist. Thank you for bringing this to us.

Amen to that, Raleigh is wonderful on camera as well as off camera ~Peace~

Lovely to see your axe technique, last time I saw you axing (a few years back) it was good, but now it really has levelled up. Was delightful to watch.

I’m really happy to read this! Glad it comes across well:)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate the kind words and all testament to Raleighs demonstration in front of camera ~Peace~

[@OvelNick]

I'm a huge fan of using Cherry!! It's amazing. After using it I feel like I'm turning into a superhero. Cyclops to be exact, because merely looking at it and it burns. 😁

[@Zedoutdoors]

Ha! :) Cheery is awesome to carve and turn with ~Peace~

[@Hermessor]

Thanks for making the video Zed, and Raleigh, thanks for explaining your workflow and details on your method. This really helps me out fine tuning my method and it’s great to watch. Hope to be able to meet you, maybe at bowl gathering or Von hand next year?

[@WildCraftedHome]

I’m so glad it’s helpful! And we would love to have you at Von hand next year!!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate your kind words and i'll be at both next year so hopefully see you there! ~Peace~

Very beautiful bowl ,I would definitely cut myself finishing off clearing the core.Do you ever use any natural oils in the finishing process?

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed yes she covers oil in the video and it is timestamped in the description ~Peace~

[@burgzaza]

That's awesome! Loved the video and the turning of the bowl was great. I only used an electrical turning machine one time that someone lended to me, and without a teacher, I got quite scared by the whole thing. So I gave up... But this looks so damn cool ^^

[@WildCraftedHome]

Decorate give it a try, either yourself or at a course:) it’s an addicting craft once you get the basics! If you need any help let us know:)

[@burgzaza]

@@WildCraftedHome Thank you, I think for now I'll stick to knife and hand tools, I still have much to learn :p But I don't doubt that it gets addictive haha. Have a good day!

[@brendanmcgarry3725]

Lovely! Thanks for making this and sharing it! Also, the pear Raleigh mentions as a good wood in CA is almost certainly Bradford pear or Callery pear.

[@WildCraftedHome]

Yes Bradford pear! But I’ve also used a ‘usual’ fruit bearing pear too I was reminded:)

Appreciate the kind words and also for the heads up on the variety of pear tree ~Peace~

[@Readysettaste]

Thank you both for this video. Raleigh is a wonderful craftswoman and a wonderful teacher. Time watching flew by. Is there a Von Hand festival link?

[@WildCraftedHome]

It’s on the description:) glad you liked it

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sincerely appreciate the kind words and the link for Von hand is here - vonhandfestival.com

[@julenstubbova5639]

I built a lathe similar to this one, but I cannot figure out why mine is not carving and polishing the wood, instead it is chipping and chewing the wood. Thanks

[@Zedoutdoors]

Could you be more specific as to what is not carving/polishing? ~Peace~

[@WildCraftedHome]

Hey! There are so many factors but the most likely is technique, how secure and how sharp your tools are etc. Watch closely to the angle of my tools in how they apply to the wood and how the angle is maintained while turning. If it’s moving you have to anchor your body frame and grip more. Lots of little bits of muscle memory and tool application experience! Keep going!!! It will get better:)

@@Zedoutdoors Спасибо, здоровья, вдохновения и успехов вам.

[@MathieusChainsawCarvings]

correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure trees twist because of wind not because of following the sun?. thats why bottom part of trunk is always pretty much straight grain wood.

[@Zedoutdoors]

From what i understand I believe that to be the case, the twisting allows it to be more resilient against strong winds ~Peace~

Bradford Pear. Generally, all fruitwoods are nice for turning.

mark the drill for knowing the exact depth every time ;)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Appreciate the insight thank you ~Peace~

[@WildCraftedHome]

Each mandrel is different and we switch between them. We also use the drills for many different projects so we find this way to be the more efficient! But if you have a dedicated drill and one mandrel or many that are identical then yes that is a good idea=)

[@misacraft3714]

Klotzek might be translated as piece of wood, wooden stick or piece of branch

Yes we Love that it is our last name, though as we know it in Polish it is referring to Dice, which I suppose were made from wood at some point.

Make the foot taller and you have a Mazer.
