Nice to see a lathe video about something other than another bloody vase. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's fun making wood handles for tools.

[@larrynelson734]

Hi magdad. That is a really beautiful al. I'm truly amazed at how well that little lathe can do things. Great job. 👍👍❤...

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry! My tiny lathe is a blast!

[@briansworkshop01]

Wood steel and brass fantastic Fantastic job and video love the colour thanks for sharing your time and skill ☕☕👍👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Brian! Its hard to go wrong with wood, steel, and brass!

[@larrydemaar409]

That kit makes a great awl, must be strong, since it is square. Love the Bombay Mahogany, of course, and the shape of the handle. Well done!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@oldguyknots]

Very nice project. You're mastering that mini lathe and like you, I'm really loving that Bombay Mahogany color too. Keep 'em coming.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! Fooling around with the tiny lathe is fun!

[@patjohnson3100]

That square awl is beautiful. The term "heirloom quality" comes to my mind. I only have the round awls, and I can see why the square awl would be useful. The work you do with the mini lathe is very good. It may be small but it's very capable. The drill press vice looks vintage. I don't blame Chuck for avoiding the cage. He has a nice wooden vehicle, and that means freedom to go where he wants, when he wants.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Pat! I just got that vise this fall at Jacktown. I plan to clean it up this weekend. There are a couple KZbin videos showing how to modify a round pokey thing into a square one.

[@choppermike3329]

That's a beautiful yet functional tool. Great video Magdad. Gotta get one.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike!

[@rollerbald]

Very nice! I love the design and finish of the handle.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bill! It's fun making my own handles with my tiny lathe!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Beautiful! Great handle shape.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@terryrogers1025]

Stay out of bird cages Chuck, some body might lock you in! The handle came out beautifully, love stain color, that tool is handy around the shop. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Terry! I think Chuck is gonna make me throw that cage in the trash!

[@Uwannawatch]

That came out fantastic! It really goes nice with the rest of the tools.

"The Bombay collection by Magdad...."

[@donemmerton9720]

Recently inherited my father in laws wood lathe been learning how to use it on my own. Loved watching you turn that handle. Looks great! Back away from the cage Chuck

[@357magdad]

Ask Santa for a set of carbide lathe tools for Christmas.

[@johnmclaurin]

She’s beautiful! You’re becoming quite good with that little lathe. I’d like to see more about that drill press vise! Great video!

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! I plan to clean up that vise this weekend.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Looks awesome! Very useful too! 😃👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks ScoutCrafter!

[@scoobydoobysue]

Thanks for another source of Bombay Mahogany Stain! That square awl will come in handy.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Sue! I'm getting used to the water based Behr.

[@DrAlbozUSA]

you look like a young chuck , mr magdad

[@357magdad]

I guess young is relative...

[@bobhart1155]

Awesome job, Magdad! That awl came out great. If I didn't have one already, I'd be making one right now thanks to you. Square awls are indispensable in the woodworker's shop and prove their value time and again as you show here. Those handles you make look like they came straight from Millers Falls. Beautiful!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bob! Bombay Mahogany is my favorite color!

[@asafoetidajones8181]

​@@357magdadnever tried Bombay mahogany but I used to really like Bombay Sapphire. Beautiful blue color. Disappears quickly though

[@noads1035]

Very nice work. Beautiful tool

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Very impressive Magdad! The handle looks great and that color really shows off the brass. 👏👍🇺🇸

[@357magdad]

Thanks Roger! Bombay Mahogany is my favorite color!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

Very handy little tool, I'll be buying one of these as well lol. Also, a video of you cleaning up that cool drill press vise would be worth watching 😎

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I plan to work on that vise this weekend.

[@ericchase5421]

You play that tiny lathe like a piano.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Eric! It is fun to use!

[@larryborkstrom3580]

That looked great project to do

[@357magdad]

It was a lot of fun Larry!

[@Resto-Rob]

Hey Magdad, The awl looks amazing. Great job!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!

[@johnkelley9877]

Beautiful work Magdad! It is nice to see the lathe turning a handle for the awl. Thanks for sharing this.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! It was a fun project!

[@setdown2]

Nice job...like the color and especially the shape of the handle...good lathe work...I think I'll stick to a drill bit for drilling holes though...some needed rain tonight thunder and lightning was a added attraction...🖖

[@357magdad]

Thanks! We might get a little snow on Friday!

[@bigpete4227]

I like the idea of a kit

[@357magdad]

It was fun making the handle!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Magdad, you made a beautiful job of that Awl on your tiny lathe, the handle is a pleasing and practical design and of course it's always a pleasure to see it finished in Bombay Mahogany, I think Narex would do well to adopt your design for their handle ! It certainly is a useful tool, as much for reaming out existing pilot holes as making new ones ! I'm off to watch the Paul Sellers video (again) now to remind me what he said about it !

[@357magdad]

Thanks Andy! It was a fun project!

[@unwired1281]

Absolutely beautiful ‼️

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@patrickrhin9152]

Hey !Bonjour Magdad vraiment du très beau travail, la pointe est superbe et le manche d'une très belle couleur. ❤

[@357magdad]

Thanks Patrick! Bombay Mahogany is my favorite color!

[@frankg3072]

I never heard of a bird cage awl. It seems it could be very useful in certain situations. You did an over the top modification!! Great job! 👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Frank! Make sure you check out Paul Seller's video.

[@lv_woodturner3899]

The awl looks terrific, very well done. I was expecting to see the Bombay Mahogany stain. Looks very good. The poplar needs some colour. I did not know Narex sold this kit. Interesting. Dave.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dave! You should make one!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

The return of the Mr Magdads World Famous Bombay Mahogany .. Nice job on the Birdcage Awl . I have seen Square Awls before but never knew it was called a Birdcage Awl well I learned something new today on Mr Magdad YT Show .. It looks like Mr Chuck was not very happy sitting in the Birdcage He looked a little hung over LOL .. Take care enjoy your Wednesday See you Sunday morning

[@357magdad]

Thanks Roger! Chuck was not happy about the cage!

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

I hope you’re enjoying your lathe they are a great tool for anyone, I might recommend learning how to sharpen your tools properly or even getting a small set of spindle gouges and it will greatly improve your experience and make it more enjoyable! Right now you are using tools more along the lines of scrapers and if you learn to put a proper burr on them it will really speed up operations! The key is enjoying what you do!

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! I guess I made a pretty nice handle with the wrong dull tools....

[@stevewalker7822]

As always you hit it out of the park

[@357magdad]

Thanks Steve!

[@barryrankin587]

Nice job! Your skills are getting better on the mini lathe as mine are. Sharp tools make all the difference. They do make a mess though. I’ve been working on Christmas ornaments again this year. Will have to send you some pics when done. Thanks for sharing.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Barry! I'm looking forward to seeing your ornaments!

[@timwhite9255]

You are getting really good with the tiny lathe. It looks great and if you do alot of wood working you will learn to love using it. I made one about 10 years ago out of an old triangular file and i use it all the time.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Tim! My tiny lathe is a blast!

[@Dardrum]

Always enjoyable and educational with your videos. A very excellent build.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@rickcentore2801]

You have become a master of the mini-lathe Magdad. Let's see more lathe projects in the future. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Rick! That tiny lathe is a lot of fun!

[@805ROADKING]

Nice work Bud!! The success or failure of that Project came down to the Trained Eye of Mrs. Mag, Brilliant!!☻

[@357magdad]

Thanks RoadKing! She has a good eye - she picked me out!

[@tonyn3123]

Beautiful job and outcome. I am not familiar with a square awl at all. I'll look further. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! Make sure you watch Paul Sellers video.

[@drivesalot0063]

Thank goodness Mrs. Magdad was on the scene to keep you squared away. Excellent work! The Bombay Mahogony is the perfect stain for that. Well done! 😀👍

Wow that Birdcage Awl came out fantastic. Your lathe work is getting really good. I really love the Bombay Mahogany color.. I hope Chuck got a raise. Last episode no Flitzing. Now being put in a cage. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice job on the handle and the video. The finish is perfect for this tool! Funny, I reference Paul Sellers in my video tomorrow as well! He is a wealth of knowledge.

He's like the Yoda of woodworking.

[@jackthompson2132]

What a great show today!! I can appreciate Chuck not wanting to go back into the cage 😂. Nice handle!! Thank You for sharing 😃

It's definitely my favorite stain it has such a rich color. You have proven you don't have to have a big lathe to do beautiful work. You have turned out some great stuff on that lathe. I appreciate your talent and for sharing with all of us. Thanks Magdad

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael! My tiny lathe is a blast!

[@TheKidFromYTown]

The handle looks great and I like the way you cleaned up the awl too. The Bombay Mahogany looks good. Nice project.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It was a fun project!

[@gregarrell6132]

Nice job. Simple hand tools are very effective and feel nice to use. Much more relaxing and therapeutic than quickly using a drill.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Greg! I can see how it would be handy for making a birdcage.

[@chriholt]

You are quite the artist with your little lathe! Plus, Bombay Mahogany is always a great choice.

I couldn't help but notice but your drill press vise seems to be rusty and somewhat unsightly. I think it's project time for it. 🤔😁👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I'm glad you like how it turned out!

[@rolandharrison5651]

This seems to be another exercise for the exercise itself. There are other more effective and efficient tools to do those tasks. Anyway, most of us have too many tools we don’t use. In my shop, it would get buried and lost in the useless tools box.

[@357magdad]

Accomplished woodworkers like Paul Sellers would disagree with you...

[@MrDoeboy356]

Of course Chuck wasn’t going back in the cage. There’s no peanuts in there.

[@357magdad]

Chuck felt claustrophobic in that cage!

[@altonbarbee8864]

How dare you lock Chuck in a cage! I like the sqare shank awl. I may try and make one..

[@357magdad]

There was no lock - Chuck could get out anytime he wanted to. He was a trooper for posing for me!
