Moving Slabbing and Woodturning a Large Piece of Walnut.

[@The42Joker]

To watch this in the morning, in a quiet house, with a good cup of coffee, and the dulcet quiet tones of Frank, is like therapy I didn’t know I needed. I can’t wait for those turning projects in a couple years!

[@mariaanmo]

This is me right now! Haha

[@DavesShed]

Wait, Can you see into my house? This is me right now also.

[@dcurry7287]

I found Frank's videos at a very tumultuous and difficult time in my life. Hearing this guy so calmly and patiently mention projects taking years, and being completely okay with it, was so alien to me while trying to survive week to week and day to day. It feels a little embarrassing to say, but the way he approaches his art was a huge reminder to me that things can be okay, that things will be okay. These videos really are something special.

[@rednasneevylel]

Literally me at this very moment😂

[@Wingman4l7]

Frank Makes Coffee Club reporting in!

[@NorthernChev]

My favorite part of turning is the first few revolutions where I'm only hacking off a few hits every revolution. Hit hit hit hit hit hit hit. ...love it.

[@BillieBee_]

I’ve been watching you for years, and one of my favorite things is watching your kids grow up. It takes me back to the times when my dad asked me to help with projects. Those are some of my favorite memories

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Your the best !!! I love your channel ❤ Thanks also to your handsome son for helping. Blessings to your whole family for Florida.

[@maryoleary2037]

I am a 70+ woman, who has never used a power towel. However, I find these videos to be fascinating. I am so impressed with your work.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

That was a massive piece before turning. Always great to see where a piece originally comes from.

[@StephenBoyd21]

I’ll remember to catch-up in a couple of years. That last bowl looked super interesting. It could make a brilliant bowl. Especially if you can keep the bark attached.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Wow Frank that is interesting and wonderful to see. Remember to show us all the awesome things you are going to do with all the wood.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

I love your videos! The little touches like the BANJO and barking...the production value, along with your voice-over details, makes it a pleasure to watch each of your projects! Can't wait to see those bowls work in a year! And most important, unlike some, you actually give some thanks at the end, in credits, to your son and Ben. Kudos to you, Frank!

[@piledriver141]

Hey Frank👍, the wood we all love is black walnut but English walnuts make the best fruits. Calvin helping you 😃 awesome !! I’ve watched him grow up. Enjoy your kids my friend, they grow up fast. Great video

[@kenc2257]

Beautiful hunk of walnut; nice prequel to next year's 2nd-part of the project. [Also, your video production values are excellent; the little touches of whimsy really add to the enjoyment/entertainment factor]

[@DankDadReviews]

Great video. All of my turnings come from wood I harvest and process the same way. I just got a huge beechwood tree. Almost 36 inches across. About twenty feet in length. I had to cut it into three pieces to get it home. Free wood is awesome.

[@myksbox]

excellent utilization of that piece as a whole. Those slabs looked beautiful and of course the turning pieces as well. Techniques were very cool too, from lifting and the alaskan mill to the turning stuff. I'm very partial to walnut, and making use of the shape as provided is part of the ride. Great video and some very well earned prizes there

[@chrisraatz6672]

Looks like they are going to be 2 very attractive pieces. The waiting begins...

[@sapelesteve]

Nice work Frank & Walnut is one of my favorite woods! 👍👍😉😉

[@Joshleslie871]

At the end of this video (as with most of your videos) I hear the squeaky clamp and I think yeah sure we gotta let the bowl blank dry but surely there is something lying around the shop we could scrape up and make something out of. It always feels like a weekend hanging out in the shop while watching your videos

[@drewkey1661]

Lovely to see you get back to some wood turning Frank

[@indie825]

Love all the character in the wood grain and the raw edge it awesome too.

[@erikziak1249]

I am willing to wait even 5 years for part 2. Some things just need their time. Thank you for yet another nice video.

[@elisabethreeves1786]

Thanks for lots of really good tips about turning or theory about turning. In all my KZbin wood working viewing I'd never heard that about the difficulty turning the center because it's not moving or the speed on larger pieces not needing to be as high because of the diameter of the piece. :)

[@robertbourke7935]

Fantastic work, both the slabs and the turning.

[@horacioguerrero8522]

Awesome work. I admire the patience to wait a couple of years to finish the piece!

[@SAOS451316]

those are really beautiful pieces of wood. i'm glad they'll be made good use of.

[@aaronbaird3533]

Cool chunk of wood. Now we wait while for it to dry. Looking forward to the final results.

[@HaraldFinster]

Fascinating what you can make of a chunk of "scrap". The grain pattern looks beautiful, indeed!

[@mandyleeson1]

Aww that walnut is so beautiful. Thanks Frank.

[@Chickenandfriends-dj4vt]

Great job and great yield from a difficult piece of lumber. Well done!

[@gordonclark7632]

I am glad that the holes were still in the same place in the carport :)

[@nickyork8901]

'The big bandsaw'...that's an understatement, one of the biggest I've ever seen!

[@ADBBuild]

How about this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWndq2ioiddqebM&ab_channel=FireballTool

[@PanicAtTheBen]

Enjoyed watching the process of acquiring the material

[@MJ-nb1qn]

I hope I live long enough for these blanks to dry so I can see then finished. Nice Work!

[@johnszpak1512]

As I’ve gotten older I’ve been become more at peace with the idea of waiting years for a project to be ready. When I was younger the idea of waiting for wood to dry seemed somehow impossible, though I had far more time to wait back then. Look forward to seeing the bowls in a fewest years...or so.

[@ScottTilYouDrop]

The banjo stuff really had me laughing thank you for the effort you put in for the little things. Did feel like I was going mad when I first heard it though!

[@linda83nilsson]

.....and the dog barking. Love it. 😂

[@doctorbobstone]

I also really enjoyed it. Not sure I really understand what the banjo *is*in this context, though...

[@tinkls57]

Absolutely none of my business. But I love seeing your son out helping you with this work. Some of my favorite memories are out with dad while a curses up a storm

[@ladykay8]

Your white truck is a littermate to my old truck. I passed her to a new person at 455K miles. I love my new van, but I miss my old truck. Stick shift for the win!

[@Docstantinople]

That’s some good looking wood there Franky boy!

[@JTMakesIt]

Your videos are like a therapy :) I really like your style.

[@DaveBowman345]

Cutting slabs off that monster piece of wood ... impressive. 👍

[@JoanneFong]

I’m really looking forward to part 2 in 2023!

[@MoYvStarkey]

Gorgeous grain. Nice walnut.

[@karlklein2966]

Black Walnut is used as the rootstock. Better root system but makes small nuts with very hard shells. English Walnut is Grafted on (ok, "spliced" works too) makes larger better tasting nuts with thinner shells. I had one of those in my yard and it died several years ago and I slabbed the black walnut burl as well. Beautiful wood!

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Those are some cool patterns on those slabs.

[@ShaeSandybanks]

Wow that is some gorgeous wood. I love the added puns. Puns are always great

[@gregmislick1117]

Amazing piece of wood Frank, the challenge of size is an amazing thing, especially when you finally see it in motion. Can't wait for 2023/24 to see these finish up

[@zifnab6824]

English Walnut trees make the super hard shell walnuts with no real meat in them (root stock) the Black walnut makes the thinner shelled walnuts with way more meat (grafted stock) If you ever get a chance to get ahold of some grafted Pecan the grain / color swirl at the graft is fantastic.

[@andrewv5104]

I was going to just watch 3 min of this and then come back. Didn't realize how much time had past until the usual ending came... exciting to the end!

[@frankbusuttil2572]

“The holes in the carport beam were still in the same place.” Imagine that. Love your work Frank.

[@craigscabinets2131]

Thanks Frank Always a good source of inspiration and very enjoyable to watch your work.

[@macedindu829]

Wow, Matt Cremona would be proud of those slabs!

[@Brian18741]

Great to see you back on the lathe, looking forward to seeing what comes out of those pieces 👍

[@RookieLock]

Amazing work Frank !

[@donnecheli2721]

Love these videos

[@alexpettigrew583]

A great adventure and some really nice wood. Thanks for sharing!

[@timmymartin317]

I look forward to seeing the second bowl finished. Well done as always.

[@syncRamon]

the slabs look stunning 😍

[@lukebenji4228]

Nice work on the chainsaw mill. Cant wait to see the finished bowls

[@theor.9219]

Hmm delicious, walnut fettuccini. Walnut has to be one of my favorite wood species. Really beautiful work Frank, thanks.

[@bobweiram6321]

It's also fun to work with and is like slicing chocolate.

[@jacquesgaudet47]

JUST AWESOME. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@horatiohornblower868]

Turning wood used to be a hobby of kings in 19th century Germany. Some were quite good at it. Frank Howarth follows in their tracks.

[@erikziak1249]

He certainly is a King in what he does.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Cool stuff Frank...as always!

[@narcisoespinosa7598]

Bark Bark was great Mr. Frank!!

[@paulsmyers203]

Nice seven point turn positioning the truck to hoist out the log ;) I think you might have gotten a little bit lucky maneuvering the log. It looks like there were a couple moments where it could have gone very badly. Those will all be really neat projects when the wood is ready. It's amazing to me how much future planning and patience is part of advanced woodworking.

[@jasonturner1045]

those are some beautiful pieces of wood.

[@sylyjoly]

Nice job Frank

[@abrenning2499]

Beautiful piece(s) of wood. Look forward to your creation 👍🏻

[@jeffjackson2871]

Is there a way, through the magic of film making to fast forward 2 years and see what happens to these peices??? So beautiful!

[@torrimac]

This is the ultimate tease. Amazing video like always.

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

Grafted walnut can be amazing, some guitar builders use it and the defined line between the two is usually very striking. That bowl is going to be a centerpiece for sure 👌

[@MordecaiV]

Bark and Banjo. Brilliant.

[@jacksparrow011]

When the time comes to finish the bowlblank with the rim in bark, I would 100% love to purchase it!

[@garyjaffe9845]

oh my goodness I cannot wait to see that second bowl get formed

[@shadowscribe]

2:05 happiness is remembering you already have the exact the device for a task.

[@rgnszeb123]

I loved this video so much, especially the beginning

[@maverag0]

i advise soaking the joint between the bark and sapwood with CA glue to stop it separating from the bowl while drying

[@RadioFaceWoodWorks]

Hi Frank...although I might not be here when those pieces dry I'm looking forward to part 2...can I offer a possibly stupid suggestion to make a piece coming straight out from the bed ways to attach the banjo to so you can turn full diameter pieces without cutting them smaller...just a thought...stay safe...press on 😎 Joe

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Just beautiful!

[@mountainviewturning5319]

That's some great looking walnut

[@gandjboyd7872]

Going to look awesome when finished in a few years .

[@chodgson]

Wow. Frank isn't usually the kind of guy to cut corners... ;)

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!!

[@MrMarkraffaele]

love the banjo add ins

[@tongresa77]

Incredible work 👍!

[@johnmanning4577]

Way to go, Calvin!!

[@ForeverMasterless]

Can't wait to see how that bowl turns out. Shame we have to wait so long lol.

[@mariuskreuder]

14:28 "which started as bark" Very punny! :D

[@calebloewenberg5319]

I came to the comments hoping to find this comment 🙏

[@mitzibud6908]

Looking forward to the reveal in a couple years!!

[@DanielBishop04022]

Frank Howarth, the Bob Ross of woodworking.

[@TheMaxwellee]

Thanks Frank, Franks.

[@lylet100]

The banjo was good but the barking dog was the best, took my wife four times through it t to finely but the two barks together Putting CA glue on the exposed bark will help to hold it together. Soaking it with the CA glue at least couple of times is the best. The English walnut is the root, black walnut root does not like it’s feet in a high water table situation. That’s why they graft the two types of trees. LT

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏

[@5656eric]

Aaaaah the banjo... What a deliverance ... ;-)

[@donniebeall8152]

Those slabs look amazing 👏 can't wait to too see them used

[@DragonGateDesign]

i'm glad the holes in the beam had not moved over the years, ..dang wandering holes

[@oedhelsetren]

When you attach a growth bud from on tree on another its called grafting and the bud added is referred to as the graft. It is a common practice with fruit trees.

[@jeffgreagrey4585]

Super cool thanks for sharing.

[@ponyboyjl13]

Been missing these videos (I love the house stuff). But these are always my favorite

[@mynameiscool18]

Frank, I never appreciated the subtle sound effects that you put in your videos. Great job! A love these videos more and more. Can't wait for the next one

[@SUROBLEDEKchannel]

great sharing

[@tjkendall48176]

What an awesome cliffhanger. Can’t wait to see the sequel.

[@jiiniasmith7880]

I always love seeing Calvin and Claire working with you in the videos. Not just working on a project you are making for them, but working with you on something for the family or someone else. Reminds me of working with my own dad on the old house.
