Holy Cow! Absolutely beautiful job. As fun as it is to restore tools making your own is even better! 😃👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks for the fun challenge ScoutCrafter! You were right - everyone should make one of these!

[@ToolsandTime]

Wow!! Masterfully done MagDad! That came out gorgeous.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It was a fun project!

[@wayneo7307]

Another Nice Job Magdad ! With An Assist From Mrs. Magdad. You Know You Could Make Many Projects With That Lathe. Toy Spinning Tops , Standard and Slip Bobbers , Fishing Lures , etc.

[@357magdad]

I just made a darning egg for Mrs Magdad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKVeqKPrKZgfbc

[@patjohnson3100]

That scraper is beautiful. Repurposing old tools by using your own resources, skills and imagination in your own shop is an all American tradition to me. I can't imagine using that beautiful scraper it to scrape off old dirty gaskets from car parts, but it has lots of uses and is a wonderful heirloom type tool. The angle guide looks like the perfect tool for a project like this in order to get an accurate and consistent angle. Great job as usual.

[@357magdad]

No offense Scout Crafter, however yours looks like a scraper from a dollar store. MagDad yours looks like a tool from a fine woodworking store. Absolutely beautiful. You’re the only guy on YT that can make a tool look like a piece of art.

Great video. Learned a lot. When you used the calipers to check your farrow diameter with the farrow on other side, was the 1st time I had seen that technique used. Nice job!❤😊

Hey !bonjour Magdad l'outil fabriqué est vraiment superbe, tout en finesse et une belle couleur pour le manche. La tourneuse sur bois et toi même vous faites du beau travail. J'ai bien aimé le rechercheur d'angle que tu as utilisé sur la ponceuse, tout le monde devrait avoir ça, c'est superbe. ❤

Hi there. Great job on that scraper. Looks fantastic. Have a great day. 👍👍❤.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry! I hope you have a great day too!

[@johngalanes5264]

Nice job! Just fyi, if you can find a Jacobs chuck with the correct Morse taper for your lathe you use it drill accurately into the handle while it's still in the lathe.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching John! Unfortunately my tiny $40 lathe does not have that capability.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice video. 30 minutes ago I was asking a friend for advice about ScoutCrafter's screwdriver challenge.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I was working on my screwdriver this afternoon!

[@Dalesworkshop]

looks great Magdad. You are getting quite good on the little lathe.

[@357magdad]

[@garydillon3960]

Beautiful.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gary!

[@gordon7005]

Lovely job there. The brass and tha9t Bombay mahogany stain are a match made in aesthetic heaven. I have those conditioning belts but can only use the brown one as fir some reason my sander won't turn with them on. I think they catch a bolt. Great video and well done Chuck on an excellent polishing job.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gordon! I had to modify my machine to make clearance for the conditioning belts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6XbhImFfcyjqqM

[@TheCleric42]

Nice job. You should try switching from Poplar to boxwood handles. Hi to Chuck.

[@357magdad]

I can get poplar dowels for cheap at the local big box hardware store. Chuck says hi!

[@Sawtooth70]

Great work, it really turned out beautifully. On the Wood by Wright channel he demonstrates how you can use a wedding ring or other on the shaft of the drill bit to make sure your running level, just in case Mrs Magdad isn’t available next time.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

Yay! Bombay Mahogany

[@357magdad]

It had been a while since I used my favorite color on a project!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

I love the scraper. Very well done. Your turning skills are improving fast. You may get more use of the spade bit as a scraper than a drill bit. Dave.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dave! I pretty much exclusively use forstner bits anymore.

[@stewartew]

Fantastic, it's so good looking you almost dn't want to use it.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Stewart!

[@jdubya7139]

Seeing this project makes me wonder if you could use spade bits to make lathe tools for your mini-lathe.

[@357magdad]

I definitely could!

[@GuntersGarage]

Boy you cant beat that Bombay Mahogany, wood, brass & steel! The angle guide is pretty slick. Is that an aftermarket or factory ad on? It dawned on me the old spade bits would make nice screw driver blanks too.

[@357magdad]

I included an Amazon link for the angle guide in the description. It had been a while since I used my favorite color on a project!

[@GuntersGarage]

@@357magdad good deal, I must have missed that in the video, thanks. Thatl be a handy addition to my sander!

[@vanislescotty]

As always, I enjoyed the video. Love the Bombay Mohagony color too. Had to search a little, but I found it at a local Lowes. Now I'll have to search for a new product. Lol. It's probably from the Big Orange.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! Yes, the Behr poly stain is from Home Depot.

[@bereadyeveryday6764]

Beautiful

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@robertlevine2152]

Magdad Your scraper turned out really nice. Have you considered using the same process for making a set of lathe tools? Bob

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bob! Someday when I get a "real" lathe, maybe I'll make some tools for it.

[@alpine1600s]

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching!

[@billwest7274]

WOW that scraper is over the top! Great job. Where did you get the Ajustible angle guild for your sander?

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bill! I included an Amazon link for the angle guide in the description.

[@joesteffens613]

Gonna be getting me one of the angle guides for my 1x30. Never seen them before. Better than my current set up for sure and ah yes… the Bombay mahogany, love that stain. Just looks deep and warm. Might have been the camera, but the new stain looked different somehow. What do you think of the new brand? Turned out great though, nice job. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

I included an Amazon link for the angle guide in the description. The water based Behr Bombay Mahogany dries way quicker than the Minwax making multiple coats a lot easier,

[@timeflysintheshop]

Well what do ya know, another project that "turned" out great! Does the chuck come off the Lathe easy enough? Maybe you could add a heavy steel disk between the housing and the chuck, or on the other end of the spindle shaft to function as a flywheel? That should help the lath run more smoothly and not lose speed so easily when you are turning a work piece with a bit larger diameter. Maybe even a larger drill chuck would help if you can find one with the same thread? I have had this thought before, but I don't remember if I actually suggested it before. If I have, sorry. I don't mean to sound like a broken record. I am just getting too old to remember what I do with all my thoughts!

[@357magdad]

The next mod for my tiny lathe is to replace it with a "real" lathe (when I have room...)

[@timeflysintheshop]

@@357magdad I have seen enough of your basement to know that you have room for a nice old Craftsman wood lathe. My father in-law has a nice older one all set up nice, but he has not used it in at least 20 years. I tried to convince him to go out and make some chips so he can get excited to use it again, but to no avail. ☹️

Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!

[@357magdad]

Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@staceygandy2009]

If you don't mind could you give me info on the mini lathe? I'd like to get one mainly for making handles. Thanks. That turned out really nice.

[@357magdad]

I included an Amazon link in the description. Make sure you watch my mini lathe bit driver handle video to see the improvements I've made to mine. I included a link at the end of the video.

[@mraamohamed]

I see that you are using that small lathe; I have seen that and was thinking of getting it as my first lathe; what is your opinion? Is it worth it for a beginner?

[@357magdad]

If you have the room and the money I suggest getting a "real" lathe. There are a lot of good midi lathes under $600. I think my tiny lathe would frustrate a beginner. I had to make modifications and replace the tools to get good results.

[@aprilhoover3481]

Beautiful! But isn't this tool now actually a wood chisel? It looks like the razor sharp chisels master wood carvers hold in their fingers to slice off the tiniest sliver of wood to make a perfect edge. It's too beautiful to just be a scraper!

[@357magdad]

It would definitely be good for wood carving!

[@rawbacon]

What did you think of that stain? To my eyes the color doesn't look as rich as the other.

[@357magdad]

The Behr is water based, no odor and dries super fast making multiple coats very easy.

[@gordon7005]

How did you manage that ?

[@357magdad]

That is what the video is all about!
