​@@RcWoodturningi started with pine because thats what I had, and did a few 2x10 of construction lumber into platters and ashtrays and they came out awesome!!. specially when sanded out to like 2000 grit. (p.s. i love sanding on the lathe, it feels a bit like cheating for some reason tho lol)

@@RcWoodturning I've got to back him on that sand paper. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it isn't worth using. Their ceramic sand paper for my mouse sander is 2nd to none that I've used thus far when it comes to removing a lot of material quickly, and their sheets of paper do a great job for fine detail. Go there with that 20% off coupon whenever they do one of their holiday or clearance sales and you can rack up just about every grit they have for next to nothing.

Bought 2x6 from lowes cut to square mounted on wood worm used 5/8bowl gouge 2x6 chips and chopped pieces off of the edges finally got someyhing decent put in check and piece cracked in half turning gouge 40/40 grind where do you get 2 6 and id bowl gouge to big help
@RcWoodturning
@RcWoodturning 11 ай бұрын
I use wood found at construction sites. Could be from Lowe's, home depot, etc. I use a 1/2 bowl gouge. The bevel is around 45 degrees. When your turning with the corners you have to make light cuts. The more wood you remove the lighter the cuts. The 5/8 gouge should work fine. Try making lighter less aggressive cuts.

I am assuming this is southern yellow pine. I have bad tearout with it. Any suggestions?
@RcWoodturning
@RcWoodturning Жыл бұрын
Around here most of the construction lumber is Douglas fir, hemlock, and pine. But I don't think it's southern yellow pine because that doesn't grow in the Pacific Northwest. The problem with tearout. First of all make sure your tools are sharp. Other ways to reduce tearout is to apply shellac. That will harden the surface to reduce tearout. Also you can try coating the wood with a finish oil and let it soak in. That will soften the fibers and allow you to cut the fibers rather then rip them out. My last option for you is tool technique. You can do what is called a shear cut. Basically what you do is cut with the wing of the gouge. Lower the handle of the tool and cut with the wing what that does is slice the wood rather then cut it. That technique can give a very smooth surface. Good luck to you Thor. Thanks for watching.

Measure the depth of the dovetail on your chuck jaws. That's how deep you want to go. Most of the time I'm going about 3/16 of an inch. Thanks for the question Gary. Appreciate you watching!

Please all be aware that this can be a fire risk. If the candle is left unattended and the applied finish is wax or similar the whole lot can catch fire. Can even happen with tealights, which can get very hot.

What size drill do you use to mount your wood worm screw
@RcWoodturning
@RcWoodturning 11 ай бұрын
I have different sizes. Either 5/16 or 3/8. Best way to size is put the drill bit against the worm screw. All you want to see is the threads. That's how I do mine. Hope that helps.
