Here is another great project for Easter! Turn a cross from a branch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2O8ZZaNlp5ledk

[@paintilludrop]

Enjoyed all the technique explaining, id of tools, easy to learn from video

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.

[@mr.mickles]

I imagine that a bottle stopper chuck would be great for these.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Umm. Never thought of that, probably because I have not turned an egg since I got a bottle stopper mandrel. I will have to try that.

[@andythenurse67]

Love them

[@bexarwood5614]

I really appreciate the work you share and enjoy learning from you. Thank you

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

So nice of you

[@kenharper616]

Guess what??? I decided to turn an egg so I came looking to you site. Your videos are the "go too" before starting a new turn. Thanks

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Ken.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Only thing missing is the wooden chicken that laid the wooden eggs.🐔 A good video for those who may want to turn wooden eggs for kaleidoscopes. 👍 Thanks for sharing! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It was busy crossing the road....

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good call!

[@jimvonmeier8071]

Coffee grounds and CA glue. That's a new one for me. I guess they won't all be going in the garden from now on. Thanks Mike

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sometimes an old trick for one is a new trick for another.

[@jimvonmeier8071]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I'll bet it would work really well with spalted maple. Would you suggest regular ground or dried used?

[@diydarkmatter]

always enjoy watching you turn mike . eggs are always fun to turn . hope you are well my friend take care .

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, you too!

[@tomcoker9882]

Hi Mike, I’m glad the egg didn’t crack! Thanks for the tips. Stay safe and well to keep the videos coming. Cheers, Tom

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@glencrandall7051]

Mike, you're a good egg, err you turn a good egg. Nice template / story stick. As you said no two eggs are alike but that stick gets you a good start. The more I see of texturing the more interested I become. I know a lady that likes to paint wood objects. I guess I'll have to make a few eggs for her to work on. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Glen. Eggs can make a great canvas for an artist.

[@trurex007lee7]

Great idea for small pieces of wood. Thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You bet!

[@ronmirrell9483]

Hello Mike Truly appreciate and enjoy your sharing of talent and expertise. Thank You!! Fairly new to turning and you videos have helped my skill level immensely. Stay Safe and Well!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks and welcome

[@michaelmorris1451]

Hey Mike, thanks for the inspiration, a great Easter gift. Great video. Good job!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

My pleasure, Mike!

[@kenharper616]

I enjoy your videos very much. You have helped me a great deal. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You are so welcome. Thanks for your continued support, Ken.

[@thomasjohnson3586]

Thanks Mike template is good idea

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you like it. It has helpfed my eggs become a bit more uniform.

[@peacefulpandascreations8785]

Thank you for this great video. It inspired me to have a go at making an egg. I turned mine out of a 2x2 piece of purple heart. It turned out beautiful!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Wonderful!

[@josephwise485]

Wow, seemed funny seeing this. I just turned a few eggs 2 days ago, using your jig from a previous video you did. They came out nice, I like the size. I used my skew as much as possible, so it was good practice for me.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Very cool! Eggs are great skill builders for using a skew. So now try the jam chuck.

[@briansinclair3967]

I like using my collette chuck to hold my sanding arbours.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Me too. I figured I would show what most new turners might have or could use next.

[@kenjoe]

"Close enough for government work" made me choke, and I'm STILL gasping and laughing. Thank you for the best new line I've heard in ages. :) Nice egg, too! Love the template.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it. When I started working for the Federal govt many years ago and said that, the lady I worked for was pretty annoyed.

[@cobberpete1]

Ditto. I think it is universal around the world ( Oz). Made an egg a couple of years ago from your earlier video. maybe time to make another one 😎

[@cobberpete1]

I'm sure it was one of your videos Mike, where you drilled a hole through the the back of the jam chuck to 'Facilitate' removing the piece on a tight fit . Time for me to make a few eggs

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You are correct. And I will do that next time I use it!
