I TURNED a Simple Globe Ornament into a Masterpiece!

I show you how to How to Turn a Simple Globe Ornament. It is a Christmas ornament which is attractive but simple and elegant turned from a single piece of wood. I show how to turn, finish and more. These make quick and easy gifts for Christmas.

MR. PEACE.You and MR.WALDT are the most informative turners on You Tube. While many are artistic, and turn beautiful pieces, they lack information that is CRUCIAL to new bees such as myself. We need to know DETAIL, in the tennons, and the morteses, the use of tools and what tools to use, etc. Not just for beginners to end with a nice piece, but more over for their SAFETY in doing so. This is ONLY accomplished by verbal instruction as well as visual. Keep on being you, obviously talented, but a master of instruction! Thank you.

Thanks for being part of this community.

As always, beautiful work. Being a new turner. I watch as many videos as possible. Thank you Mike.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pathardage1880]

Mike, it is always a joy to watch your turning. Thank you.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@BillKibby1]

I like the little stand Mike, great way to keep enjoying a piece that would otherwise be banished to a box in the closet for 11 months out of the year. Thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Appreciate you comment, Bill. Thanks for watching.

[@MikeWaldt]

Great little project Mike, nice and easy...and no hollowing required! Thanks for taking us through your methods to achieve this beautiful ornament. Cheers Mike

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Appreciate your comment, Mike.

[@TheDistur]

Cool project. Between this and the trees I think have some gifts sorted for this year. 👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

These are so much faster than hollow globe ornaments. Just do not make them too big or they are heavy!

[@monopinion8799]

I loved it. Great work. Thank you so much. Be safe. Take care. Have a good Holliday.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you! You too!

[@PBUCKY1969]

Great idea Mike and nicely presented, many thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@teresas683]

Thanks! I’m going to try this today!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Have fun!

The second in my Christmas ornament project video view!! If you didn't have a master ornament to start with, I certainly don't, what or how would you plan out the project? Secondly, you use a LOT of different tools for this project. Did you really need them all or did you use them to show all the different tools that could be used? If you were doing this on your own, which tool or tools would you use, just curious here. Thanks for the video, take care and stay safe!!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I could have skipped the 1/2 spindle gouge. But I would generally rough with a spindle roughing gouge, chuck tenon with a beading and parting tool, details with a spindle gouge, and part off with a parting tool so I would say 4 for a typical spindle project.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Where would have a skew played a part if at all? Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

[@exotictones1054]

Nice job .I haven't gotten into the same finials yet.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

This is a nice finial starter project.

[@mgorrow]

Mike, that is a very attractive Christmas tree ornament. Simple and very quick.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, that was my reaction when I saw it at a club meeting a couple of weeks ago by Hal Simmons.

[@rbollard1]

Very much enjoyed watching the finesse with which you created the ornament. So delicate & refined compared to 'hogging out' a bowl. A great reminder to get started on all those Christmas Presents, also. Thanks Mike

[@whatsthat5482]

hi mike, ive just bought a lathe, many years after I last used one. wow, I have so much to learn!!! thanks for your videos.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You are in for a lot of fun. Go to woodturner.org to see if there is a club nearby.

[@toonybrain]

Thank you, Mike. Yesterday I stood in front of my lathe hoping to make an ornament out of a birch branch similar in size to yours, but I hadn’t any idea how to hold it in the lathe. I’m ready to go today. Good information here. Merry Christmas!

[@rgoodleaf]

Nice project Mike. I like the 'no hollowing' aspect!!! Well done and very well explained. Cheers, Rich

[@jackmaravola2496]

Very nice Mike....!Thank you for reminding us it's that time of the year again...!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Time flies when you are having fun turning!

[@Lyle]

Nice work Mike, great timing for the upcoming Christmas season.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, more coming.

[@rogerratze83]

Nice project. Thanks for posting for our enjoyment and knowledge.

[@williampeak8851]

Enjoy watching your video

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks so much

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Great little project Mike, Cheers, Harry

[@briansinclair3967]

Nice work Mike. Always an inspiration. You could have held that ball against a scrap piece of wood to prevent a blow out. Our club challenge this fall is to decorate a 6' Christmas tree for charity. Will definitely try your technique. Thanks

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for that reminder. I will have to take the time to do that next time I drill.

[@muziqjazz]

Nice project M. Mike. Inspiring.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Marc. Looking forward to more box videos on your channel.

[@leksey7870]

Beautiful work! Like! Good luck!!!

[@DKWalser]

It's that time of year! (Already?)

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Some folks need an early start!

[@TimKollat]

whats the reason for not cutting "uphill"?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Cutting uphill means you cut into end grain, a poor quality cut that lifts the fibers. Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJStgIF8Z76Abrs&lc=UgwFLa3ub56m7lgwqeR4AaABAg
