Hi Dean! I'm a beginner woodturner, and I was wondering, with the wood being so wet, how do you stabilize it after you turn it so it doesn't crack?

[@DeansWoodworking]

@@ryanakers1372 apply antique oil finish as soon as you finish turning

[@pierreklee8032]

So if you use dry wood can you drill 1 1/4 or 1 3/16? Thanks for sharing your trade secrets. I enjoy these videos.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Just make sure the Tea lights you use fit and are not tight. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@FridgeMagnetFred]

Fantastic teaching videos I'm so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work Dean Question: do the items you make using "green limbs" distort and crack when they dry out? Thanks Stevie, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DeansWoodworking]

Not much because I apply a coat of minwax antique oil or Danish oil as soon as I can after turning. This slows the drying process and virtually eliminates the cracking. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@DonFaulk0517]

Great job with the tea lights. My grandson wants to come up for a weekend and learn turning… I think your LED tea light would be a great way to start him. What size branch (OD) do you recommend starting with? Keep it going and I’ll send you a picture of his tea lights when he comes up in 3 weeks… Great Job… thanks! By the way, where do I send the pictures?

[@DeansWoodworking]

I would start off with something about 2.5 - 3 inches Have fun!! you can message me on facebook deans woodworking

[@michaellionart4841]

So depending on the audience no3 is either a tea light holder or a shot glass 🤭 Ps do you have a video of your texturing tool Thank You 🙏

[@DeansWoodworking]

Not yet but that will be coming. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@acornwheels2080]

Hello Dean, just watched the tea light video. What are u using for your textering tool? Lol just saw the part about the home made tool. Where do u purchase the bearing and what size Copper pipe? Thank you.

[@DeansWoodworking]

berings at an industrial supply and the copper pipe is 1/4" Thanks for Watching!!!

[@brianwaters8754]

One small word of warning. Do not use actual candle type tealights in any wooden holder without a glass or similar liner. (Available from woodturning supply shops) Ordinary tealights easily get hot enough to set light to wood when they burn down, especially if coated in oils and finishes.

[@DeansWoodworking]

I agree Thanks for watching!!

[@trurex007lee7]

Thanks again. I’ve made multiple styles of tea lights and candle stick holders. I can send pictures if you supply email.
