Turning Two Scoops on the Lathe - 2015 Kitchen Utensil Build Challenge

[@sigguy1361]

Nicely done! That spoon chuck holder is awesome! Great idea!

[@gordroberts53]

creative idea and well executed. This is why I spend a few minutes on KZbin everyday. Not sure that I'll ever make kitchen spoons, but I learned some good techniques, read some helpful comments and will be a better turner as a consequence. Many thanks, for sharing. Cheers, Gord

[@deemstyle]

As a new wood turner, I absolutely laughed out loud at your "at least they didn't end up in the fire pit" comment. Man, I can relate. Nice video; nice project. I think if you were to upsize these spoons, they'd make really beautiful self supporting soup bowls!

[@NickFerry]

I think those turned a beautifully! Well done!

[@cdhodg7104]

That chuck is genius!

[@frankmakes]

Nice Grady, I like your spoon chuck.

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Really cool looking scoops Grady!

[@mr.charleshunt394]

JUST TO HELP YOU OUT USE SOME RED OR BLUE TAPE AROUND THE HANDLE WHILE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE BOWL AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE HANDLE IS SPINNING

[@MooseyGoosey_]

+Charless Hunt WHY ARE WE YELLING

[@mr.charleshunt394]

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SEE LITTLE LETTERS NOT YELLING

[@Chadgwhite]

You can hit ctrl and the + key on your keyboard to magnify your browser if that helps... or cmd + on a mac I believe

[@tjja7321]

CHADGWHITE SAID YOU CAN HIT CONTROL AND + ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO ZOOM OR COMMAND AND + ON A MAC

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Great work! I think they look very elegant!

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

They really look great. I loved your technique

[@stevesteves8915]

Nice spoons - not too clunky at all! That wood combination / angle looks great

[@McGinnsWoodShop]

Really cool with the off center setup. I'm going to have to watch it.. Yet another great content provider found through this contest! Thanks!

[@mhaz49]

Grady, I think they are beautiful. Taking the time is the key to a good turning. This is well thought out and executed. Good job.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Great video, they turned out beautiful.

[@DIYTyler]

Turned (ha) out beautiful Gary, well done.

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

those came out great Grady, the turning looked scary, but for some reason, I want to try it now lol, Thanks for sharing in this challenge, Neat stuff

[@Crewman2770]

Nice scoops and also I really like the chucking idea.

[@treesandclay]

Grady, A well done video on a well done project. I just discovered your videos and am enjoying them. Your craftsman chisels led me to comment. Those are the chisels I learned on and I think they have a valuable learning curve. They are unlike other spindle gouges in their shallow profile. I think of the chisel I see you using as a hybrid skew/spindle gouge/roughing gouge and by mastering roughing and finishing cuts with it you gain valuable insight into skew, roughing, and spindle gouge concepts that others may miss. Keep up the good work. Good wood selection, project planning, and design sense

[@aarondcmedia9585]

They look great!

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

I was watching some of your engineering videos and looked back to find your woodworking videos. These are awesome and glad I found them. Great channel you have and just subscribed. Keep up the good work!

[@JackWinn]

Great video. Thanks for showing your process.

[@mfwoodshop]

That turned out great, I can see just a smaller scale and make great coffee scoops

[@saidchoucair9247]

Great video, better still relate several other authors on the subject. This shows his quality as a Person, that is, recognition of the competence of other people. I wish success and a big hug from Brazil. Thanks Said Choucair

[@bobbyplatt7654]

Great looking spoons and a fine video thanks for teaching us..

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Great job Grady, i really like the way they turned out.

[@civilengineerrajkumar7428]

Salute from India 🙏🙏

[@tomprickett6985]

nice job ! I make coffee canisters & sometimes use Paduk & Walnut. Those would match up well ! Thanks for the tips.

[@randyallaway4085]

Wow, those look beautiful.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Beautiful job!

[@MarkChristopherpens]

Very classy scoops Grady !

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Great idea, I love that you did the multi access turning. I have subscribed and will be checking out your other videos. Regards, Bob

[@locohombre79]

They turned out beautiful. You could make salad utensils like this by cutting one scoop into a fork too.

[@BobBlarneystone]

For the first operation (to avoid bandsawing), instead of gluing the wood pieces directly together, place a piece of kraft paper (a brown paper bag) between the pieces. Then turn the piece, and when it's done place a sharp chisel at the paper layer and strike it with a mallet. The turning will split perfectly in two.

[@RichMcNatt]

I dont find them " clunky " at all, They look great ! nice job

[@timsanders9197]

Good job Grady

[@johngurney7087]

Very impressed thanks for showing how to. Have subscribed.

[@CysCorner]

Yep, scary with the invisible handle flying around! But excellent job! I think they look cool and could be used for measuring....:)

[@dart70ca]

You can get a better idea of a more graceful spoon by taping two pleasing shapes together at the point where bowl meets handle. Arrange them to be symmetrical when viewed from the side, trace that onto a template. Turn your blanks to that profile and saw them apart as you did here, but add cuts in the bowl area to remove wedge shaped bits like what came from your handle. This will make for a more swoopy shape. Augmenting them with some hand carving will make a huge difference. I second the comment about off axis turning, though I think you will still end up finishing with knives and chisels to get what you want. Inspiring video. Thanks!

[@vedanta190]

Looks good!

[@girliedog]

I love the spoons. You might think of expanding them into salad bowls with handles,

[@turnintoo7887]

Thought they turned out great! I am looking forward to making some soon. This helped. Thanks!

[@bickleg465]

+Derek Hassell Guys i am learning secret woodworking techniques at *TopFineWoodworking .Com* all you guys should try it.........//////

[@DarkSerena]

They do look a little clunky, but are beautiful! They would make great spoon rests with a less deep bowl.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Excellent!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I think you did excellent Grady! I've made coffee scoops in the method,and 3 out of 4 come flying out of the jamb chuck. I really like band clamp solution!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

This one time... at band clamp... Oh wait... I think they look great! Not clunky at all. And I agree - the walnut/padauk combo looks fantastic together. I might have to try a guitar neck with that combo.

[@CJRains]

This was an amazing video watching experience. Thank you.

[@DirectorsCut25]

fantastic work

[@stv0248]

really cool project, i appreciate all the instruction you give, saving up for a lathe and seeing these type of videos is very helpful/exciting

[@KkmakeUkv]

Great looking spoons Grady, good idea with the collaboration build, if only I know that earlier :D Can't wait to see what everybody else build. I found your channel thanks to Mark Christopher Take care Karol

[@cwhussey5432]

great looking spoon... check the videos for a "Donut Chuck" and you can see other chucking methods....

[@giovanniroffo2731]

ottimo lavoro complimenti

[@nickjan67]

Very nice video of a very nice project. Thanks also for listing the participants in the Kitchen Utility Challenge. Was there also a 'challenge' in 2016?

[@beverleypears7782]

I don't think they're clunky at all. I think they are just great.

[@scottyj6226]

I'm not much of a woodworker, but I think the problem with your band saw, is too much pressure being applied when you're cutting a piece. Our shop Teacher taught us that an easy way to tell if you're pushing too hard is if the blade twists or warps while cutting. the smoke can also be caused by pushing too hard, because the more pressure you apply the more friction you create. I think if you just go slower and let the saw do the work, things should work much better for you. Great video and nice spoons, I especially like the color contrasts.

beautiful

[@rickeynoelmitchell2661]

Nicely done, What glue did you use?

[@Yannique1]

Very nice

[@edhorsegolfer4784]

I think that your spoons are awesome. I have been watching a lot of turned bowls and such. I notice none are coated beyond oil of some type. I would think an epoxy seal or something to seal the project would be nice. Any insight as to why I don't see that done?

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

+walter mccue I just don't think epoxy looks that nice. There is a small concern about food safety. Generally if you buy a wooden utensil from the store, it will only have an oil finish, if any finish at all.

[@edhorsegolfer4784]

Your right, thank you

[@alejandrovazquez2034]

very ⛳ good

[@ابوعمر-ذ2ع]

very great

[@mr.charleshunt394]

LIKE THIS VERY WELL ... JUST AN IDEA PUT SOME RED OR BRIGHT COLOR TAPE ON THE HANDLE OF THE SPOON WHEN YOU ARE TURNING THE INSIDE OF THE BOWL PART OF THE SPOON AND YOU WILL SEE THE END OF THE HANDLE BETTER ..GOD BLESS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@metroplexchl]

What kind of Tried & True finish did you use? Love the spoons!

[@awptickes]

Have you considered turning the "scoop" a bit more off-axis to give you a oval shaped cavity?

[@Kirnor78]

i loved it, please tell me what oil did you use to finish it so elegantly?

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

+Kirnor78 Thank you. It's tried and true Danish Oil.

[@Kirnor78]

+Practical Engineering thanks, I'm new to wood working and I'm still buying tools, but videos such as yours are very helpful for beginners like me, thanks

[@jamescoen2598]

Two Scoops!!!! Two Scoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@antmallett6065]

Hi. From what I can see, you have the same (or very similar) bandsaw that I have. Taiwanese, branded 'elephant' here in South Africa. Mine cuts very well (after some tweaking.) Perhaps I can help you with some of its idiosyncrasies.

[@Sorenzo]

This may be a bit of a profane question, but have you and the other KZbin woodworkers thought of creating a marketplace for selling items like those showcased in videos? I always end up thinking "I want one, but I don't have money or space for a woodworking workshop". Obviously the pieces would be expensive, especially in cases where people only make one of a kind. But maybe some KZbinrs would be interested in making several with the intent to sell them. And yeah, I guess you can use eBay, but I've never seen a woodworker on KZbin plug his eBay page ;)

[@PracticalEngineeringChannel]

Good question. Most of my projects are gifts for others, but I do know a few youtubers who also have Etsy pages where they sell their projects.

[@coburnlowman]

You had some good ideas in this video. Any lady "should" be proud to show them off. A side note. Wander if a piece of flagging ribbon would show up being tied to the handle? That would be a legitimate reason to get a roll of (Police Investigation Do Not Cross) ribbon. Always wanted a roll.

[@nicolagregson6054]

I like that they are chunky

[@ابوحمودالمطيري-ف9ح]

you are a great person I want to get what you do I want you to Answer
