Wood turning Bracelets

[@oaksho]

love the expansion chuck and using the live centre to open it enough to grip the bangle. You have a great understanding of your craft Hendrik. All the best Tony

+TarasDoesDIY Thanks for your kind wordsTake care

[@tarasdoesdiy1999]

Hendrik van Taak No problem :).

[@101boertjie]

Baie dankie vir die waardevolle raad wat jy gegee het. Ek het so paar idees gesien oor hoe om my proses om armbande te draai te verbeter. En Afrikaans bly darem 'n lekker taal om te kan praat.

Hello Hendrik! Keep making videos! You are enjoyable to watch and a good teacher.

[@HendrikvanTaak]

Nice Bangle Hendrik well done interesting the setup you have woodturning Thanks,Robbie

[@HendrikvanTaak]

Thanks for your comment Robbie. Yes I've two lathes. one is a HW Ward Turret lathe - that's for drilling only. The other one is a Mini Max Italian copier lathe as I make a lot of salt & pepper mills. It's got a mean chuck. Some time ago I was busy with an Irish wedding cup. I wanted to rest my left hand on the head stock. I inadvertendly put my hand on the fast turning chuck - the jaws were sticking out - it ripped my hand open - finger nails were gone too. Well that's life at the lathe. Kind regards

[@eugenegiesberts2924]

Great idea of the sanding gig,. Thank you

[@HendrikvanTaak]

Glad to hear you find it useful :)

[@johnmatthews1959]

Hi Hendrik, what kind of wax and polish are you using ? Bonus points if you tell me Brights or Penny Pinchers sell it.

[@HendrikvanTaak]

Hahaha no bonus points!. EEE Ultra Shine followed up with Hut Friction Polish and sometimes Traditional Wax. All obtainable from Mrwoodturner.co.za (I take it you're from SA)Take care

[@johnmatthews1959]

Hi Hendrik, yes I'm from Cape Town. Thanks for the response, will go check them out now. Happy turning meneer.

[@JoelElder2013]

Great video Hendrik, could you not just notch out on either side that crack with the bandsaw about 15 mm, sand it up and call it a bracelet? Just a thought, it is a lovely turning.

[@helenschultz6658]

Ons lief die blou kopdoek! Waar koop ons in RSA die EEE Abrasive Wax? Dankie vir al die raad aan beginners .

[@HendrikvanTaak]

More Helen, heerlik om Afrikaans oor KZbin te praat. Probeer www.mrwoodturner. kyk onder Finishing. Veilig draai

[@helenschultz6658]

EEE-Ultra Shine Paste Wax Shellawax Cream Friction Polish Shellawax Friction Polish Hendrik, jammer ek pla weer: watter van bg. sou jy aanbeveel vir gladmaak van servetringe en deurhandvatsels (dis waarmee ek besig is - 'n totale beginner met draaiwerk)? Ek soek vir die EEE Abrasive Wax maar dit lyk nie of dit so beskikbaar is nie. dankie solank.

[@HendrikvanTaak]

Dis die Ultra shine paste wat 'm abrasive wax is. Dan gebruik ek of die Traditional wax wat ook 'n foodsave produk is of die Hut Crystal Coat wat 'n friction polish is. Ek ken nie die Shellawax friction polish nie. Vir die deurhandvatsels sal ek Woodoc 10 Polywax Sealer aanbeveel. Twee site wat jy later kan bekyk is Hardwarecentre en Strandhardware.Groete

[@richardcarlson3723]

Iike the jigs very basic but works great thanks

[@daveklein2826]

Can you make a video on how you made that chuck to hold the bracelet Thank you your videos are great

[@HendrikvanTaak]

It's so easy Dave, round a blank, drill a hole and cut 4 to 6 slits on the bandsaw. Once the centre point engages the hole the wood will expand and grip your bracelets, ring or napkin ring. Should the hole be larger in diameter than the centre point, another project awaits you. Again another blank - rounded, make a hole on one side to fit the centre point. Taper the opposite side. Turn safely

[@moodyharvey1309]
