wood turning 100 bucks an hour with scrap 2x6

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate all of you! I'm almost done with the video of my friction polish. I promise it will post soon. Thank you for being patient with me.

[@robertbabb5111]

I would love how to do this where did you learn how to use a lath and how do you make stuff

[@robertbabb5111]

also where did you get your lath

[@RcWoodturning]

@@robertbabb5111 I taught myself by watching KZbin videos.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@robertbabb5111 One lathe is from harbor freight tools. The other I got from Facebook market place.

I've learned more from your videos than any other 5 combined. No long winded intros, lame humor or incessant commentary, just down to business with great skill and creativity. Thanks for posting !! 👍👍

[@RcWoodturning]

@@TramJizzle Thank you! I appreciate that! I know some videos are hard to watch. I'm glad my videos are helpful.

[@HealthyHearts]

What would make that lamp even better would be to drill a hole in the side of the base and take the cord in that way and take the cord up through the center.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@HealthyHearts A lot of people do it that way. Some have on and off switches as well. But then your getting into the $100 price range.

[@sk13ppy]

Um, for any videos that don't state what is being made, I just skip everything and only watch the last 2 minutes to see if I want to make it. Saves me precious time! I much prefer to choose what to watch rather than having to watch something with no description about the end product. Needs a dome over it, perhaps?

[@RcWoodturning]

@@sk13ppy That would defeat the purpose. The decorative bulb is the main point of the design. Also you could skip the video and read the description. All the info is there.

[@bluediabolo1]

@sk13ppy First : watching a Woodturning Video is not a waste of time , Second : ever thought about reading the Description ? 🙄 Making a Video is a lot of Work you cant see, so please don’t comment that infantile. If you don’t want to write some nice Comment, do not comment .@

[@bobboyer9440]

My market people would say it is great work, however it is doubtful that they will fork over that kind of money. I will however try to add a few pieces of burnt wood on my table and see the reaction.

[@RcWoodturning]

You have to have a market for rustic decor to be successful in this kind of market. The trend in my market is minimal living with natural wood crafts. If you don't have that it's hard to sell these kinds of products. The good news is people are trending to simpler ways of life so this type of products is trending up. My hope is that is the case in your area too.

[@Bill-g9u]

Nice job - but I would need to make/sell a bunch of these. Components aside, I just don’t turn fast enough and the market for these where I live just isn’t strong enough. Well done and thanks.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@griner65]

I really like the videos! I have a question about the blow torch. Using the blow torch that close to all the wood shavings seems a little dangerous to me. Is that not a fire hazard? Not sure how flammable they would be to the torch haha

[@RcWoodturning]

Yes you have to be careful when doing that. I try to clean around the area first. Always have a way to put out a fire. When I use the torch I make sure I will be in the shop at least 15 minutes or more afterward. That way I'm there if anything flares up.

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Hello. I have a question. I am new o lathe turning and ordered 4x4 red pine. it came in today and it is very green. should I let it dry out before using it and if so, for how long. Thank you

[@RcWoodturning]

@@Jimmolter761 It would be best to let it dry. Make sure the ends are sealed to minimize cracking. Depending how green it is, I would say at least 6 months.

Nice work. I see you're from the same area as me. I live in Yelm and work on JBLM. I hate to ask but...i have an older Craftsman lathe i haven't used yet. My head stock and tail stock are slightly off from one another. Is that an issue as i see people using wood that isnt symmetrical when they start their project.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@douglashaner6802 Yes it can cause problems with alignment. It depends on the type of projects you do. Most lathes can be adjusted somewhat. Make sure you check for any build up of dirt or rust on surfaces. That could cause things to be out of alignment.

@@RcWoodturning ….good for you. I’m in Texas and people don’t understand the beauty of these items so I was highly discouraged to sell my creations.

@@6xflowerranch890 I'm sorry to hear that. I've never sold anywhere but around here. I know a lot of people sell on etsy and eBay. You have to know S.E.O pretty good to get your stuff found online.

On all these kinds of videos there someone is crying about the equipment used. Use a little ingenuity. People used to make stuff like this with simple hand tools. Save a bit of money, you can buy used equipment for reasonable prices. Shoot, you can get a wood lathe that is 80 years old that will do 90% what his modern lathe will do. You just gotta want it.

[@kristilbilyeu7682]

Well, you really need to work on your math skills, as that is definitely not $100/hr 😂 They would have to sell for $25 each since you can make 4 in an hour. That’s also not profit, as you have the lamp hardware to buy, too. But good for another small project to sell 👍🏻
