New Turners Start Here

[@mrlong12u1]

We like your vids because they are great learning tools and funny because you are down to earth, not afraid to show mistakes!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks for watching!

[@tobedetermined4180]

That toy with the ball, has anyone ever got it! It seems impossible to accomplish, however, watching it makes me want to try 🤣

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Haha it's kind of addictive

[@CharlesReiche]

If you dont have a chuck, you can use a glue block between the piece and the face plate. A sacrificial piece. The side towards the faceplate is the bottom and can be carefully parted off at the end, or near parted off and the nub can be sanded down.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Ah nice, that's another great idea! Much better than my approach.

[@Rebel9668]

I gotta get me one of those face plates for bowls. I did one of those dovetail holes so my chuck would hold it for my first bowl...and while it came out okay, I bet it'd be a whole lot easier with one of those large faceplates. I have a set of carbide tools coming. Right now all I have is an HSS set and no jig to set them in on my grinder for when they get dull. I just have a regular speed 8" grinder, but I can lower its speed by simply plugging it into a variac (Variable voltage transformer) and lowering its speed by lowering the voltage to whatever I want. You have a nice shop! I have a few shop tools, but most are a bit old, but work fine. Rockwell 9" contractor table saw, Master Mechanic miter/chop saw, Wen tabletop belt/disc sander, Skil tabletop bandsaw, Central Machinery mini lathe, Campbell Hausfeld 60 gallon 2 stage compressor, etc. but I have to keep it kinda small as my shop is a one-car garage built in about 1940. I did upgrade to a breaker box from the old fuse box in there when I added the compressor and then ran new 12/3 wire on 4 more circuits for 4 more outlets than the single outlet it started with, lol. Have it lit with a lot of 4' florescent tubes as it was a year after I installed them that the LED tubes came out. First thing I ever did to that garage though was paint the cinderblock walls and plywood ceiling white so it is well lit in there.

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

I would be very impressed to visit your shop. Table saw, lathe, CNC machine, band saw, drill press, dust collection system. So many great tools. Can I borrow your compass? 🤣

[@robertgabel3451]

You made the bowl in reverse from the norm (work on base first then the hollowing). The faceplate connection would be hollowed out eliminating the screw holes.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Oooooh, yeah! That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the tip!

[@calleeharris4182]

Watching the lathe is so satisfying!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Camera guy did a great job too

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Not intentionally :D

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic video, Caleb! Thanks a bunch for the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Gregbrowning94]

What brand carbide tools would you recommend

[@TotalBoat]

Great tips - these pieces are awesome!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, it was a lot of fun! And much love for the wood honey!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks for watching!

[@kreech68]

hmmm, no compass... but you have CNC... and you suggest that using a CNC could save time.... including programming and uploading and .......

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Obviously one wouldn’t do that every time. Make a variety once and have them forever. Make your tools instead of buying tools. Use what you have. If you’d rather buy and use a compass, do that.

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks!

[@DavidSmith-jc4yk]

Interesting....I picked up a lathe a couple months ago and I work on my skills as time allows (yes, I suck). I have some 1' material (cherry) but no thicker material. Is it possible to glue (laminate the material to make 2" thick blanks or is that a recipe for disaster?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

You can absolutely glue up pieces to turn. There’s a whole speciality in turning called segmented turnings where folks laminate different species to get cool effects

[@DavidSmith-jc4yk]

[@NYBwilk]

Why can’t you use it for cereal

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I’d rather a film finish than oil if liquid is going in a bowl

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

Get a compass.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

They're handy

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo you can get one real cheap too

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

all those "expensive" tools in your shop you really should get a compass. It's sort of embarrassing you don't have one. Just funning with you.

[@eealice9328]

We like your video very much, would you like to accept the cooperation? We do not see your email on the web, hope to receive your reply.

[@OldMtnGeezer]

You lost me when the music started. 👎

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

No worries man, plenty others stayed, I’m doing fine. Hope you find videos with music you can stand.
