If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to press the *LIKE* button. It really helps me out!

[@jimwilliams2682]

Love the "bendy shaft " and the "slidey thing"! That is the sort of wood working jargon I can understand! :)

[@saramulry]

Beautiful work! Also, super satisfying to watch :)

[@Liberatedlandscapes]

Great result! You know? You'll save yourself a lot of time on the lathe (as well as not needing to sharpen the chisels so much) if you take the corners off the wood on a circular saw first.

[@howardmoots]

A pepper mill is a very easy and very useful piece to make, I’d like to see you do a pepper mill either segmented or solid!!!!

[@josephdarland7001]

Howard Moots I’d love to see that

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Another great job of turning. It looks like you’re really enjoying using the lathe.

[@benrudman3917]

This looks incredibly fun. I really want to try it .

[@justinrowe3100]

I think it would be cool to see you segment turn a classic coat hanger

[@barrynorman3906]

I love this series. I like your learn by experience attitude.

[@SeleckPlays]

1:40 "Bendy shaft on a slidy thing" Ease up on the technical terms, I'm having a hard time following.

[@tinabillmam4896]

Perfect wood scotch cup

[@boblob2003]

Lime = Basswood, for us blokes in the US! If you ask for lime at a lumberyard in the US, they'll ask you if you want a gin and tonic to go with it.

[@bensnyder5890]

Make it a double!

[@thomasdickson35]

boblob2003 The correct answer is yes though, isn't it?

[@richardgoebel226]

Or tequila and salt.

[@boblob2003]

My question for the Brits- what the hell is "service wood"?

[@dibblethwaite]

boblob2003 service wood would would be wood from the service tree. Sorbus domestica. It's related to rowan. In Germany they use the very bitter fruits in (hard) cider making. I've no idea what sort of properties the wood has.

[@ruperthartop7202]

Nice work Matt. Cheers

[@Sarrienne]

Another Matt Estlea video - Crank up the volume an' roll the intro!!!!!! I have to say, this turned (har har) out exceedingly well - I am very impressed and would love to have a go at this myself one day!

[@kodysimpson1]

Shine a light on the inside of the case so that you can see the transparency. It will show you if there are thick spots.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Looks great!

[@brianmoan]

With your woodworking skills and available offcuts, I'd love to see some segmented turning.Great work by the way. Picking it up very fast

[@ianchappell4199]

Well done Matt....

[@brendangrace1078]

Like all your other videos, fun to watch and very informative.

[@SilverBack.]

Great first try

[@coltonmorris7958]

Welcome back to another episode of "churning chooseday."

[@derekwilkinson7939]

That’s really good Matt. A lot better than I’m managing at the moment.

[@johnletham161]

Nice one mate im enjoying the series

[@ga5743]

Keep up the good work Matt, would suggest holding on to the Jacobs chuck when pulling it off of your work.

[@GuruMat8]

How did the extraction setup go? Looked like it wasn't picking up much of the medium to large stuff, but did is pick up the fine sawdust?

[@jimbo2629]

If you like Lime then you will love Sycamore

[@philcollins3839]

I don’t have as much experience as I would like with wood turning, but I would try putting a dowel in the chuck at the tail stock, and using that to catch the part. That way you’d have 2 hands for more control for a clean cut when you part off. And on the subject of Lime I’d love to see you doing some ornamental carving! (Plus another bass or guitar some day- maybe acoustic 👍)

[@kennymiller5837]

I saw in a couple of videos from turners on youtube where when they are parting the piece off, they used like a hacksaw blade instead of the parting tool.

[@woodworksbysnyder3456]

Call me Buddy I was reading through the comments looking for this. Yes, Matt, use a saw of some sort to part the piece.

[@johndcoffee632]

1:41 "Like a.. bendy shaft?"

[@stevebosun7410]

Hi Matt, another great video as always. Just one comment. When sizing the clamping diameters, you were using the calipers the wrong way round.

[@keithscrafts]

Nice job make. You could have made a jam-chuck to remount the piece and turn the bottom round to suit your form. That way it would just lay on its side and be able to roll around.

[@mikeswoodencreations5712]

I had to get that first like and no, I didn’t actually watch it first but it’s Matt, of course I’m going to like it!! 👍👍👍

[@MoisburgerBaumdienst]

I think you made a good choice to put your fingers not in the hole even there was enough space!!!! Be careful I would like to see more of your videos! Greetings from Hamburg Germany

[@pablosoler7634]

That is actually a vesel called Mate in Argentina, used to drink a kind of tea

[@macbilling6410]

How about a segmented bowl? By the way I liked how you used the hollowing tool on lime wood.

[@ed.walker]

Hi Matt. I'm new to all this like you. What chuck are you using in the tailstock for holding the forstner bit? I've inherited a vintage lathe with no instructions and I'm not sure what to get. The chuck it came with can only hold a max of 5mm

[@richardgoebel226]

And you still aren't wearing a ... Personally I think you are wearing those chips like your own personal "badge of honor" for learning to use a wood lathe. You were very well prepared for this bit of turning. Well done!

[@mikethompson6713]

Is it lime, as the green citrus fruit I love in my margarita, that you’re turning? Looks great.

[@sbooder]

No. It is one of the native lime trees in UK, either Small Leaved Lime (Tilia cordata) or Large Leaved Lime (Tilia platyphyllos).

[@MJ-nb1qn]

I like the concept of learning with you. Great job. The wood was “lime”? Is there a similar wood in the Colonies? Keep turning. I have the most trouble with the screw, so help with that would be nice. I have watched a number of videos on the screw, but the instructors are so good they go so fast and seem to take for granted I know more than I do. Thus, I miss a lot. Thanks.

[@syninys100]

European lime is in the Tila genus; the North American subspecies is basswood (and the Japanese one is shina). They are both subtly different from the European lime (tila x vulgaris for the common one), but really those differences are pretty tricky to spot, and certainly not relevant.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Thanks Syn Inys

[@stephengriffith1605]

Where did you get the hollowing tool. Can you send me the link please

[@robertmurray1833]

The use of lime got me thinking. A lot of people will try and start turning with very cheap timber that's hard to turn and achieve a good result and it puts them off from the start. Spend a little more and select a species that's beginner friendly.

[@watsonjesus6157]

Muito bom parabéns

[@colinhawkins8265]

What laser are you using for your saw? I thought it was one of the centrifugal hub lasers for the Glide, but now I'm not so sure. The shot @ 1:02 makes it look like the blade isn't spinning but the laser is on. Am I crazy? I'd like a laser for mine but am not wild about the centrifugal hub lasers because (as far as I know) the saw has to be running before it comes on.

[@mickleblade]

An alternative i a shadow line, this might workk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3mwaX5jf7hgjc0

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Matt, I've taken to watching a Russian car crash cam video before Turning Tuesday!

[@2YARD]

Bendy shaft XD

[@Kikilang60]

Better to safe than sorry.

[@velomolo]

Un Mate!

[@yalagaming8486]

Corner? Bandsaw? No?

[@DeDvaO]

Try polishing wood with wood chucks from turning...it make surface smooth and shiny:) Ps: be carefull ;)

[@DeDvaO]

Wood chips from turning not chucks haha...

[@C_L_Thomas]

Bendy shafts and slidey things . . . this is why I can't turn.

[@SeleckPlays]

Thanks for showing your mistakes. At least now I can believe you're human.

[@panzerstorm9016]

Why is it onion-shaped if it's turnip Tuesday.. Edit: I read the title wrong, proceed

[@clydedecker765]

Watching that skew chisel gouge I think you might find this video and the tips helpful .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIvPYaqfjtOho5I He does point you in the direction of other instructors too. I have nothing to gain but you might.
