Wood Turned Segmented Jingle Bell

[@JovemEverton]

You can tell the kids are just delighted to record the last bit of the video. Adolescence is pure excitement. Well, I know I've been there.

[@furtim1]

"Merry Christmas", take 36!

[@frankmakes]

@@furtim1 yup.

[@MrGtownjake]

I laughed. Now can since my kids are grown and out of the house but I remember those days. It's been my experience with all three of my kids that between the ages of 12 & 23 their mom and I were the most uncool dumb people that ever lived but then they realized around the age of 22-24 that mom and dad are smart and know things. It's a completely different relationship now and I love it.

[@JovemEverton]

@@MrGtownjake however no one could say Frank Howarth isnt the coolest dad around.

[@giulius7176]

I had to laugh as well....At 21 and in college out of state, Mine only remembers to call and say hello... and I need an extra 100 bucks....Oh Joy!! and nice work there!

[@bensimms7294]

I'm just impressed by your consistent ability to find the footage you made 2-5 years ago for videos like this.

[@marialiyubman]

This^

[@joshclark44]

I bet he just films everything just in case

[@ARCWoodCraft]

Aye, film EVERYTHING, delete NOTHING! Go through hard drives pretty quickly but it pays off every now an then 👍

[@TrevorDennis100]

Was it already on KZbin?

[@ericwhite5655]

I have no idea but if I was him I would label the wood with like the video date or something so it was easy today find looking through the archives of footage he has

[@hernancoronel]

At 2:29 Frank says: “I did a quick drawing”, and proceeds to overlay a NASA worthy diagram. You are awesome Frank, we love you!

[@bensthingsthoughts]

From an architect point of view, that is surely a very simple drawing, I guess...

[@RyanDraper]

@@bensthingsthoughts Can you tell if that is from AutoCAD?

[@bensthingsthoughts]

@@RyanDraper I would say no. It surely has the vibe and look (black background and colorful overlay) but I think dimension lines are not terminated with arrows but with a cross mark. I would say Frank made this drawing in Illustrator or equivalent. But I might be very wrong.

[@RyanDraper]

@@bensthingsthoughts Thanks for the reply. I'm still exploring the best way to get away from graph paper for my segmented projects but not sure I want to jump in the middle of those two PC programs that are frustratingly proprietary lol. Have a good one and thanks again.

[@bensthingsthoughts]

@@RyanDraper Take a look at Inkscape ! Setup in Inches or millimeters with the grid on it is pretty quick to draw simple plans. The software is open source and cross plateform. I use it for everything nowadays, it seems ugly and bad at start but I have grown to love it !

[@mattmacdonough7862]

Anyone else find this extremely therapeutic? Thanks Frank. Rock on man.

[@eatenkate]

I realize that i basically measure time by how big Calvin and Claire have gotten :D Merry Christmas to you all!

[@whgeek]

I just realized he named his children after the C&C machine

[@faamp]

It's very satisfying to see the piece start to shine when you are sanding it in the lathe.

[@JoanneFong]

The best part of December is Frank's ornament video! And the kids are getting so big! They probably hear that all the time now lol

[@Abrikosmanden]

The enthusiasm from your kids is PALPABLE!!!! He he he! Nice project!

[@9009matorres]

One of my favorite makers on KZbin. A real artist.

[@ssoucyj]

Oh the joy on your kids face!!! :D

[@vodiak]

That's about the most enthusiasm you can expect from teenagers. 😒

[@LockedenLoad]

Great Frank.......Your children must really love you!

[@Mike__B]

7:57 that moment when you realize frank didn't put any finish on the ball inside... and never will 😊

[@lacleman9394]

A work of art! What I appreciate most is how careful you are when you work, and how precise whatever you do is. Nothing is hurried. Everything is intelligently thought through, in advance. A pleasure to watch.

[@jgriffin9084]

I love how you have footage from 3 years ago of you harvesting the wood for your current project. That's dedication.

[@rickcimino5483]

it's like Frank's Christmas present to his subscribers.......every year a new ornament. Really cool Frank. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@rrrrrr8963]

Frank....thank you. you are a great individual. Good luck to you and your family.

[@1lof3]

I just loved your commenting, it makes everything more clear than visual information only with usually awful music in the background. You are the first page I subscribed to! Thank you for your work.

[@JolienBrebels]

It's always a joy to watch your videos Frank! Thanks!

[@Nadirleso]

How good is to hear your voice when explaining your woodworks..even if im italian i can cleary understand everything you say..thank you for sharing your skills..as always you are awesome man! Keep going 👍👍💪

[@yamaeraahdc821]

You did a great job Mr. Howarth 👍

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Standing a bit on a sphere to find center is a great tip. Thank you, Frank.

[@beanxlj]

Christmas is not complete without Frank's ornament and video!

[@TinoDeBiaso]

Frank, that shot at 8:39 litteraly left my mouth open. Great cinematography and woodworking.

[@DashDrones]

Yay, my Sunday just got soooooo much better ☺️ Your chuckles always make me smile!

[@danielleendswell9250]

I always smile when he chuckle's too!! I freaking adore him. My oldest daughter has a stutter, and my love for wood working brought us to Frank. He's just awesome and inspiring!

[@DashDrones]

@@danielleendswell9250 Yep, what an awesome dude!

[@crossbound]

I just love your ornament builds.. such a great tradition.

[@1954JDR]

That is a beautiful piece. It sure took a lot of patience to make. Great job.

[@PtrOBrn]

8:53 what about setting up a spot light over the work space and mount the round object over it. The shadow cast would let you cut while checking round at the same time... might have to turn out shop lights.

[@bryangatewood6749]

Watching your Christmas ornament videos have become one of our traditions of the holiday lol. We love it

[@MRrwmac]

Frank, Absolute Master Craftsmanship! As you know, I’ve been enjoying your videos from the beginning. I’ll Bet you didn’t think you would have gotten to this point where you imagine, design and build things such as this? I know that is what the shop was for, but the level of craftsmanship you have achieved is superb! Merry Christmas to your whole family!

[@kingfisherwoodturing5330]

Put you in the mood for the season! Great video!

[@OurFrenchHouseRenovation]

Always good to see your work process and filming, thanks for sharing.. Merry Christmas

[@papaspeleo]

A merry Christmas to you and your family And of course to al the viewers as well !

[@elisabethreeves1786]

I love the close-up shots on the lathe!!

[@nashvillain171]

*Frank, at the end of each year's Christmas ornament video, you should do a quick montage the kids saying, "Merry Christmas" from every year before.*

[@JoeyBryson]

Very nice work along with explaining. Very Talented

[@Carterandsontoolworks]

Yet another fun project, thanks for sharing, Frank!

[@anitawhang8260]

I love your holiday ornaments. This was beautiful.

[@167curly]

Beautiful, Frank.

[@rjtumble]

Happy Holidays to the Howarth family. Thanks for all your videos this year.

[@misterfixie6003]

Excellent close-in photography Frank! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@joshmeyer7384]

Your extreme close-up shots are brilliant! I have never turned a sphere, but I will one day, and I will heed your advice to cut half of the difference.

[@gregmislick1117]

Frank, if you do this again, throw a few handfuls of shavings into the bell with the ball before you glue that up, then the ball will be bounding around in a next of shavings, and when you make the slots at the end you can blow out the shavings

[@MrGeroth]

Your skills are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@abe7284]

The wood looked great, the result was amazing, and as always the photography and production top notch. I loved the extreme closeups of on the lathe and CNC work, and the sound of the bell.

[@CammiesGarage]

Festive! Very nicely done, Frank.

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

Amazing as always Frank

[@leksey7870]

It turned out beautifully! Good luck!

[@mytapoiss]

I loved the part with the level on the ball.

[@thanatos66613]

As much as I love the shop projects, the crafts are what drew me to the channel. Well done.

[@witr]

The closeup turning shots are really nice

[@CopyCatCo]

That close up shot of you turning the bell is really cool looking!

[@lntrlp4936]

Of course it looks cool.....it's cause you're so cool, Frank!

[@HazItMade]

Calvin is SO overjoyed! Reminds me of my own boys! Merry Christmas, Frank!

[@21mph12]

A brand new sanding disc or sanding belt is both a joy and a terror.

[@usernamempk]

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

[@gregj2647]

Always look forward to your Christmas ornament. 🎄🎄🎄

[@porthose2002]

Beautiful work as always, Frank!

[@AChi__]

Excellent work man

[@rogerparkington3837]

Thanks.Really good photography.

[@joelseymour6372]

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@kiwdwks]

Another awesome ornament!! Happy holidays...

[@missamo80]

It's not really the holiday season until Frank posts his annual ornament video. I look forward to this every year. Happy holidays to you and your family Frank!

[@joeandrew2473]

Always look forward to the Christmas ornament episode. As always it turned out great.

[@tamirerez2547]

Ingenious! Professional! Accurate work of ART!! Thank you for excellent video!

[@davidburke1524]

the piece looks great. when i get warm weather i'll try to make a couple to put on shelf with hand carved leaves and some acorns I turned already.T give it that holiday look.The problem you said about jingling while holding it . so what .I have family that like to pick up and look close at my pieces. Just the thought of a ball inside is what make it a jingle bell.

[@briardan9226]

I look forward to your Christmas project every year!

[@undeadarmy19]

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun, it is to watch, this video today, HEY!

[@pryere]

Always an inspiration - Thanks again Frank - It is beautiful.

[@ericvargas8152]

those kids said merry Christmas like they were at gun point

[@philipmark3343]

You're shirt sleeves with the lathe are freaking me out my friend.

[@MrJmak642]

I've been waiting so hard for this video. Its just not the holidays until Frank makes an ornament video

[@RogiervanReekum]

Thanks as always, Frank! Happy holidays.

[@leveljoe]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@schlenbea]

Another amazing project!! Your kids reluctantly saying merry Christmas just cracked me up 😂

[@Petertronic]

It's the thought that counts!

[@timothybaker8234]

I’m glad you able to put the small grinder to use.

[@undeadarmy19]

I wish I had a shop like yours. Its so amazing to see how much you can do with a shop like that, and the skills to go along with it. Merry Christmas!

[@joelongrid7625]

Fantastic. It always amazes me how your segmented parts hold so well with just glue when you turn them. I really appreciate your skill.

[@boatnanny]

can’t believe how your kids have grown merry christmas from Australia 🎄

[@paulkelly1702]

Once again awesome work Mr. Howarth :)

[@ltnthacker]

Another excellent video. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done Frank! Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well & stay safe.......

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Very enjoyable as always Frank!

[@davidspez7267]

Thank you Frank for all your awesome videos. Wishing you and your family a Happy Holidays and wonderful new year.

[@Rouverius]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@n3rdygrl]

This is amazing. I know you're enjoying the bell's sphericalness but you could add a really small wooden drawer pull to the top to mimic the little bump out on a metal jingle bell

[@GummadivalliShivaKumar]

It's truly lovely Frank. I've been watching you since 2012 (back when I was 19)... Apart from watching myself grow, I've seen Claire and Calvin grow too. Love the sassy (and somewhat apathetic) look on Calvin's face in the end

[@brucemartinez5343]

I love it , I have a big slab of Sugar maple and I will try to duplicate this, great going Frank ,and the grand kids sure are getting big.

[@ssoucyj]

I am pretty sure Frank is their father, not their granndpa.

[@brucemartinez5343]

@@ssoucyj Thank you

Fantastic Frank! Your son has your eyes! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
