[@markduggan3451]

Really glad i found your site, it's great to see the Welsh Dragon, and the honey pot has given me an idea.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Mark much appreciated.

[@SouthDakotaBowHunter78]

I've been binge watching your channel all night beautiful work on everything

[@MikeWaldt]

Lol ... thank you much appreciated.

[@alanandkarenrouse747]

It is always inspiring to watch you turn. I gain a lot from your videos.. Thanks.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Alan much appreciated.

[@Mriya6]

Dude thank you so much for putting the name of each tool on the screen as you use it, I wish more woodturners would do this, makes it so much easier for a viewer to know what's happening! Great vid!

[@MikeWaldt]

Glad you found the video useful and thanks for watching.

[@GaryGlass-DriftwoodTurner]

Very nice little honey pot Mike, good to see you back again.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Gary.

[@rodneymiller5141]

Great project Mike. I really enjoy watching you turn small items like this. You are a true inspiration for someone who only has a midi lathe.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Rodney very much appreciated.

The man, the myth, the legend, the international colorist, the master of all things tape, so good to see you on the channel again. This is a very good looking honey pot and dipper. Hope all is going well with you.

[@MikeWaldt]

😅😅😅 thanks Doug.

[@bernardfutter5327]

Glad to find you back, Mike, and sorry you were bad over Christmas. So were we; dinner still in the freezer. This is the sort of topic and length of video I enjoy from you and has given me a useful idea for early teen grandchildren to do and take away. I must have needlessly rejected a lot of cracked wood over the years, having been ridiculed at school for turning up with a cracked length of fence post for a table lamp.(1951). Many thanks. Bernard.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks gor for watching Bernard, glad you're all good now. Great story too 🙂

[@nigeloram3524]

Thanks Mike. Nice job

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for watching Nigel Cheers Mike

[@glencrandall7051]

Very well done Mike. You handled that crack quite nicely. Also just the right amount of embellishment. And you are right about the color of the milliput. Terracotta would have been better. But the black works OK. 👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.😀😀

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Glen, I must order some Terracotta in 🙂

[@oaksho]

SWEET :) All the best Tony

Love it Mike

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Ron.

[@davidbaulch3223]

Good one, Mike. Quick and easy, especially for someone just beginning. (Sold quite a few of just the dippers - might have to incorporate the pot as well.) Thanks!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks David ... sounds like a plan mate 🙂

[@207crafts]

Awesome job!! Another project looking forward to doing.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you very much.

[@dougbennett1275]

Nice one Mike. I've always been put off by making honey dippers because of actually using them. i.e. cleaning them, presumably same as washing up and then wrecking the finish. I always advise don't put my items near water - decorative or dry use only! However that Howard's Butchers Block Conditioner you used might open up many more items I can make - I'll have to try it. - thanks.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Doug for both commenting and watching mate.

[@steveashlearnerturner]

Lovely little pot Mike and something I'm definitely gonna have a go at

[@jamesgolden7317]

Very nice dude! I still haven't figured how to set up the gouge part on the back end. Also don't know what to get if I need a part to set that.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks James ... not sure what you mean mate.

[@jamesgolden7317]

You're welcome Mike. Sorry about the vague description. It's the piece that holds the part you used to hollow a hole into the wood. I've tried carving it out with a normal gouge, but I'm not that good yet. So I've tried to figure out how to put a drill bit into the right side, to hollow out pieces. It always spins instead of locking in place, and I'm not sure what to do.

[@bernardfutter5327]

@@jamesgolden7317 James, the right side you appear to refer to is the sliding tailstock, and in all but the most basic lathes is bored through. The motor end is the headstock and may similarly be drilled. The facing ends of these bores are slightly tapered to accept tools with friction fit shanks. A Jacobs chuck, as on your hand held drill but with tapered shank, is slipped into the bore and fitted with a twist drill, preferably with "Brad" point, to slide or wind into the end of your workpiece to commence hollowing. The taper is a Morse Taper (about 1degree 26 mins only) designated MT1 or MT2 according to the bore. If the opening measures approx. 12mm you need an MT1 Jacobs chuck, or if approx. 18mm an MT 2 Cheap ones can be had for around £25. The motor torque may cause the chuck to twist ,so it must be held with a gloved left hand, and removed every 1/2" of penetration to remove swarf. After drilling the tool rest is placed across the lathe bed to continue with a spindle gouge, moving outwards from the drilled hole but NOT a spindle roughing gouge, which is not strong enough. Experienced turners can hollow just with the gouge. Hope this helps. Bernard.

Nice job Mike. Gives me an idea...🤔 Wes @ Piedra Designs

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Wesley much appreciated.

[@DavidMains-pf6zo]

Would like to know which tools you used

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi David ... to make the beads I used an old spindle gouge reshaped. I have a video on it : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4uTZKFuq9llodk Cheers Mike

[@DavidMains-pf6zo]

I was inquiring about the tools used for the honey dipper and the honey pot,and the lid.and which way to use the pointed scraper

[@bobevans9955]

What is the name of the stuff you filled the crack with thank you

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Bob ... the "stuff" is Milliput 🙂. Thanks for watching.

[@Mutrino]

How did you create the hole for the honey dipper? Router? Drill?

[@MikeWaldt]

Cut a "V" with a small saw then rounded it with a half round file.

[@Mutrino]

@@MikeWaldt awesome, thanks for the reply. I ended up using a forstner bit and a dremel :)

[@MikeWaldt]

@@Mutrino Any time 🙂

[@marmitaa8619]

Hello Mike i have a few questions i was hoping you or someone else could help me with. Could i hollow a piece with just a bowl gouge as i don't own carbide tools yet? I saw a hollowing carbide tool with a bend at the end for 40€ but don't know if it is worth getting. I'm really into spindle turning, don't really do bowls but want to get into cups and pots.

[@MikeWaldt]

I tend to use a 3/8" spindle gouge to hollow up to 3" depth, then use a bowl gouge for anything deeper to about 5 - 6" deep. Then I go to my carbide for deeper pieces. You can get "mini hollowers" which will do the same job as the spindle gouges. What is the make of the Swan neck you are considering? Cheers. Mike
