Turning a bracelet with Fool4peppers

Turning a wood bracelet with Easy Wood Tools.

[@IBDaddyO]

How do you handle dealing with all the different size bracelets? Do you carry all those sizes at your shows or do you carry a few sizes and then offer to do a custom job for the customer?

[@fool4peppers]

Go to our Fool4peppers website. Under "Store", I have a bracelet size chart. I'd say a child would be 2.25 or smaller. More females wear a Medium Plus on my chart.

I think all that work can be avoided if you invested in a hole saw

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

Love these! Thanks!

[@jocloete0011]

why do you ''scrape'' the wood and not do the cuttingtecnique

[@fool4peppers]

I assuming you are asking why I didn't drill out the center with a large fostner bit. This is just a different technique. Some people might not want to spend $20 for a drill bit.

[@Josef_R]

fool4peppers Looks like you answered the wrong guy, he asked why you scraped instead of cut.

[@terry2346]

I saw that too and I think you can do either and you can also take that easy wood tool and put it on a 45 degree angle to the wood and get a very nice cutting action. But still not as clean as a skew and spindle gouge on the edges imho

How the heck did you film in 1080p in 2012???

I use two holesaws 2 3/4" and the other 3 1/2" I cut the larger out first then cut the smaller. I put it on my chuck tighten it by expanding chuck to the inside of blank. I turn the outside on one side then remount it to turn the other side.

His name is Rick Herrell. Great guy and quick shipping You might have to create a signon for the IAP website. Under the Vendor catalogs at the top of the page, open it and the title is "Custom Made". He has several items that I would recommend for turners. Tell him you saw it on my videos on KZbin. If you can't find it, go to my webpage and send me a message. I'll send you a direct link.

[@fool4peppers]

It is an after market tool rest made by Rick Herrell in Pilot Mtn, NC. You can contact him on the IAP website. Look under the vendor catalog at the top of the page. The title of his post is "Custom Made". He does great work.

[@DiveDiva2007]

Very helpful, not made one yet and your video gives me some good ideas of how to get going, thanks

[@whereisdave]

i like your work. im found your channel because im trying to make large earrings. (yes my girlfriend has those large ear holes 7/8" diam!!) the difficulty i have in making them for her, is the part that touching her skin is on the inside, which means the finish on the inside has to be very smooth 800+ grit do you have a trick for easily accessing the inside of you bracelets? the first earring i made, i used my chuck to hold from the inside, cleaned and shaped both sides and then i was just lucky enough to hold the earring around the outside (without swapping out the jaws on my chuck :) ) to sand the inside. the problem with this is, it leaves me very little room to get in there and make it nice, without hitting my chuck with the tool. do you have any suggestions???

[@rodericklevins2291]

Nice; do you think you could make a video on a how to turn an antique style peppermill.

[@Trees2Pens]

Very nice video. I have seen that expanding chuck in PSI catalogue but never saw the need for one but #cxc4 is now on my wish list. Thank you for sharing.

[@billymcclane7772]

I like your lathe 46-460. did that tool rest come with it or is it an after market?

[@FairviewBethelChurch]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful info. Wouldn't have been a little extra wisdom to pull up the tailstock while doing the outside roughing? I always make it a habit to, although it might be over-precaution.

[@tommyschutz9008]

Great job. Thanks for sharing your technique. I am going to attempt to make one or these, or actually several. I appreciate your input.Tommy

[@fool4peppers]

It is a 1-3/8" Expanding Collet Chuck with 1" x 8 tpi. If you go to Penn State Industries, it is part number Item #: CXC4

[@franktiahrt1173]

Please tell me about the "small" expandable chuck you use first thank you Frank Tiahrt

bonitos brazaletes, saludos desde Huelva España.

[@harveyleander9256]

Great demonstration thanks for uploading. How did you make the blue bracelet at the beginning of your vid? looks very ornate and skilfully done, best regards HL

[@fool4peppers]

Yes, it is a resin bracelet that was rough molded with a mold in one of my other videos.

[@fool4peppers]

Dan, I didn't feel that I needed it but it wouldn't hurt.

[@fool4peppers]

Maybe after Christmas I could turn one.

[@bonenfant96]

Neet trick to find the center.

[@jeffwagnon237]

What kind of camera/video system do you use to show the PIP?

[@fool4peppers]

Used two video cameras but the PIP was created by Corel VideoStudio x9

[@jeffwagnon237]

Banks in Georgia work and we'll be looking at some of your other things now
