Who doesn't like the waffling? That is part of your charm. Can't wait to see what you can come up with the brass shavings. It will be interesting to see if brass reacts to resin.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Without the waffling, it might as well be a slide show that last about 20 seconds.

[@teariana1]

I've seen his earliest shows before he got comfortable to waffle, Zzz zzz. I'm kind of glad I came late to his videos, I might have given up.

[@DJMarcO138]

His second channel is really great though - while the waffling is missing, he still puts out great content. I am enjoying both styles of video.

[@catbarts]

I love the waffle. I watched one video on his second channel by accident, and was disappointed. To each their own, though!

[@WaiferThyme]

I love the waffles!

First thought: Are you trying to destroy your wood tools? Final thoughts: Stunning! I can't wait to see what you do with the shavings.

[@nickzammeti]

Pretty much! 😂

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Brass is soft enough you can use wood working tools on it without damaging them if you go easy and don't take heavy cuts... Aluminum is too...

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan the lathes bearing weren't meant for such loading... if you watch carefully, you can see the chuck (& therefore your lathe spindle ) deflecting when you plunge cut... 🙄😂

So glad you stuck with it brother. I have 2 year old twins. Your pumpkin video popped up in the recommended feed, they saw it and they had to watch it. You are now our calm down the twins videos.

[@aliciaclark8957]

Absolutely gorgeous! Those that don't enjoy the waffling are soulless. I understand appreciating the art in what you do, but hearing your thought process during creation is a huge bonus. Keep Waffling On!

[@cynthiat6505]

Your waffling is art!!! Never stop! Love Love Love it!!! Odd? Never!!!

[@Hortonscakes]

Watching at 4:17am Saturday in the US. I had to pull a 11 hr work day. But I'm always a follower and waffle on!!! 💯💯💯

[@Done975]

Next episode : we watch as Nick attempts to go through a metal detector at the airport….. 😂. Another great piece of art!

[@amyfitch3005]

😂😂😂

[@MrDopey32]

Also, I personally think waffling videos are the best❤ I've watched a couple without and it just wasn't the same. I absolutely love the gems you make Nick!!

[@GaisaSanktejo]

I've had to hand turn small brass components in the past, so I am very aware of how difficult it is to "wood turn" brass, my hat off to you for such an impressive result Nick!

[@GrandmaLoves2Scuba]

I'm thrilled you went from almost leaving us to starting a second channel. ❤😊

[@karzee358]

Nick, this is the most beautiful turned piece I have ever seen! Thanks for sticking with it!

[@donaldlembo1263]

What a gorgeous project. Absolutely beautiful. Your skills are unmatched by anyone I’ve seen. Please continue in this format. Your personality is just as important as your presentation. Thank You

[@user-sx2wt9qq7u]

Love it and keep waffling. 🎉

[@krystalleonard6733]

Love your videos! I bought a lathe and started turning because of your videos! First thing I made was a pen out of resin and it turned out amazing! You are the one who taught me how to turn! By the way, my first lathe is the same size as yours and everyone thought I was crazy 😂 also, I have a seizure disorder and turning is what relieves my stress. It’s part of what saves my life! Thank you for sharing yourself with us and teaching us! One thing I have always wanted to see though is a beginners video. Just one for beginners with rules of the trade and tips for success! Again, thank you for sharing and keep them coming! I love watching from start to finish, something about it is so relaxing!

[@clarewillison9379]

I could watch brass being turned for hours. (I have watched brass being turned for hours.) Loved this. I bet after the brass, turning the finial felt like cutting butter!

[@meganwalker27]

You've outdone yourself, Sir, that was not an easy project and it's amazing! Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ConnyLandes]

Oooooh, shiny! I love shiny things 😍 I was acutally waiting for the whole thing to just fly off the lathe - glad it did not. It is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Would be a perfect jewel box if you put in some red or purple felt... Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend yourself. We are getting snowed in right now - everything is white including the sky 😆

[@lisaclay3137]

I like the waffle. Don't change the weird, you be you. Love the piece ❤🎉

[@amyfitch3005]

The most beautiful and hardest to turn creation. Thanks for showing us your protection and how difficult this was. I'd love to see you do some turning with copper..my favorite metal. Love the waffle, Nick! 💜💜💜

[@overloadedoutdoors7582]

Wow that turned out amazing I wasn’t sure what to expect that’s a heavy piece of brass I love this channel and all the waffling

[@nickzammeti]

Hey all, hope you like this video , tell me what you think I should do with the savings?

[@lindamae6296]

This is stunning! You made a good decision to cut the finial down. The wood and milliput bands enhance the piece beautifully. I can't wait for a project with the shavings. Something with an internal light, perhaps?

[@Santrial]

That is absolutely gorgeous! It shined up so well. I can only imagine how satisfying the weight and heft of the piece feels

[@elixabethcaudill2831]

Love that you are using such a variety of materials. Another great project. Your waffling and personality are a great addition to your projects.

[@kayleighjones8161]

It’s so shiny 🤩 Love your videos, they always make me smile when I need it the most! 😊

[@arthurcroom4302]

I must say, as a retired metal worker, (Welder, Machinist, and Fabricator) that you are pretty brave to cut metal with wood turning tools. For me, anything less than carbide tooling would be so time consuming that it would never be worth the effort. Kudos on this project. It takes skill to combine metal of any sort with wood to create. and, it takes a very wild imagination. Well done.

[@raydriver7300]

It was a crazy idea, Nick, turning metal on a wood lathe but the result is outstanding. My favourite part was at 15.15 when the wood was transformed with the addition of a coat of finish. Have a good weekend yourself 🌞

[@chuckclark9464]

Nick, I can’t speak for everybody but I am really impressed with that one. I’d like to have two of them made for jewelry boxes they would be great. Sincerely, Chuck.

[@lma0483]

That looks amazing!! 👏👏👏 I think making a chalice with the remaining piece of brass would be nice. 🙌

[@jeanoliveras4853]

Such an elegant piece Nick, absolutely love it!❤️❤️❤️

[@julieketchum9551]

Ooooo! Shiny!!! 😍 Such a Beautiful, classy piece. Amazing job! So Glad it did not fly off! Looking forward to what you do with the shavings.

[@Frostyblu]

It's beautiful. That's for the person who has everything. Good job 💜

[@margarethall1625]

Completely amazing. I love your waffling about! You could try using the shavings in making those drop pot thingies. Just a little idea.😉 Anyway whatever you come up with will be cool.

[@IAMMEDUSA]

Work smarter not harder is my mantra for basically everything now.

[@Lisa_The_Norwegian]

I love it when it gets shiny! It’s one of those things where I can hear the little Elf of Anxiety in my brain sigh of relief. I swear your videos are mental health medication ♥️

[@thehopeforlifecommunitychr9774]

I prefer the waffles, personally. I find you to be quite entertaining and educational. I want to learn how to turn stuff and I first found that interest from your videos. So, you've helped inspire me. Waffling on has taught me and made me chuckle on more than one occasion!! Keep up the good work!

[@marciak9826]

Good call on the finial-it was definitely too tall at first. The jar is lovely! Really like the wood with the brass. Great job, Nick!

[@Janderson-AppalachianCreative]

I’m not sure about in the UK, but in the USA you can go to a local tool or steel supplier and buy sticks of high speed steel. If you decide to do more project like this, and I hope you do because it’s beautiful. You could make your own tools for these kind of projects that will hold up to cutting the brass a lot better. I love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@BrancoWorks]

I would love to have this kind of option in Portugal (or Europe) been looking for several days a place to buy rods and blocks of brass to try to make some custom tools and marking stamps an can’t find anywhere….

[@Janderson-AppalachianCreative]

@@BrancoWorks option here are not as good as it used to be. It used to be that even the small hardware stores carried stuff like that back when mining was big. They don’t anymore. We can still get it but you have to drive a good distance to find the metal these days.

Two words good sir...machinist lathe! Seriously though, well done sir!!

[@AtlantaTerry]

Yes. We boys actually had those available to use in "shop class" in the late '50s when we were in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Sadly, today's parents would probably freak out if their early teen boys had access to powerful machines.

[@chuckmeister6518]

Turning metal! Let’s see more metal projects. Cheers, Nick!

[@thesalopgardener]

I think you can get specific metal.turning tools. Also, they're often turned in enclosed lathes which spray an oily liquid to cool and lubricate. However you've done a fantastic job there. I think some finer grade wet and dry for getting a perfect mirror finish is all thats really needed, oh and dont use Brasso, use Peek as it's less abrasive than Brasso (which peversely scratches the metal). Excellent as ever, and bonkersly entertaining.

[@shampoovta]

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my metal shop teacher about how he thought artists don’t use these techniques correctly. Mr. Beam was a gruff old guy who punished us by making us sit in the class and play with a gigantic nut and bolt because that was all we were good for 😂 Love that old Dude. That is how I got interested in the metal lathe, playing with the bolt. 😂

[@karenwilladsen8760]

You should use the solid brass as 'fillers' for your pours. Then you wouldn't waste so much material and resins when turning them. And yes, keep the waffling. That is true 'Nick' and we love Nick!
