wood turning the leftovers

[@joeyjrob]

At least it's nice to see someone turning left-handed like me, always looking to pick up some tips from our side.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks, I do a lot of things different because I'm left handed.

[@Danseadorf]

Hey Rus, great idea. Haven't seen this one before. Thanks for the video, I'll give it a try ...Dan

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks Dan! It's my alternative to tea lights.

Smart little lamp

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you Doug!

[@raydriver7300]

You do come up with some clever ideas, and I love to see the ease at which you work 🌞

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it!

[@Larry-v6j]

Like your work !! More !!!!

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! I'll do my best!

Russ, where did you aquire your worm screw from? Thank you John

[@RcWoodturning]

It's from wen. Part# la4444-008

[@richardbryant7972]

I really like this idea for sure

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! I thought it would be a good alternative to tea lights.

[@jamesrockne8671]

Again, you have shown us talent. Nice work. By the way Rus, what brand is the Chuck you’re using on this. I like the looks of it.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@jamesrockne8671 Thank you! I appreciate that! The chuck is made by wen and I added the shark jaws. I think there are links in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesrockne8671]

@@RcWoodturning thanks, I love the looks of the shark jaws, I’m going to order mine with a wen Chuck. It looks like the way to grip without marking the tenon full of grooves.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@jamesrockne8671 You can also make a wider tenon for a better grip.

[@indianatone218]

Gr8 idea .nice one .

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@kezzatries]

Nice! You could use the wood lathe, make a little bell shaped end on a dowel, cut a circle of brass and spin up some candle snuffs. Buy a dozen tea lite get a snuff at cost?

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks! That's a good idea. Although the one I have came from the dollar store. Thanks for watching!

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

What type of finish do you use?

[@RcWoodturning]

Friction polish. Made with shellac.

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...cool idea...👍...thanks for this... I still don't have a bowl gouge as I use my belt/disc sander to sharpen what I do have, and I worry about destroying it on the sander. Maybe if you can show me how you get such a clean edge on yours, I could give it a shot???... Matt

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks! I sharpen on a belt sander too. I showed a little bit a couple videos ago. You need the wolverine jig to hold the gouge. I think I paid around 30 bucks for it. That was more then my bowl gouge. Lol. I made a homemade base to set it in. I'll show some more in another video.

@@RcWoodturning ...thanks...that would be much appreciated...👍

[@allendavis2144]

Awesome I am going to try it. One question. What finish do you put on?

[@RcWoodturning]

Have fun! I use friction polish made with shellac.

[@allendavis2144]

@@RcWoodturning is it a receipe you came up with?

[@RcWoodturning]

@@allendavis2144 Sort of. I mix it different then the way it's mixed online. I plan on doing a video on it soon. Basically I use the can of shellac from the hardware store and I mix a little bit of finish oil to it. If you pour the shellac into a 12 oz container you would add about 1 oz of finish oil. That's my approximate mixture.

[@allendavis2144]

@@RcWoodturningthank you sir much appreciated

[@allendavis2144]

@@RcWoodturninglooking forward to the video also

[@flowerstone]

I’ve been looking for a wood turning lathe. Yours looks interesting. Can you tell me the make and model of it? 😊 Please. 🙂

[@RcWoodturning]

It's the 12 x 36 harbor freight model. It doesn't have much for bells and whistles but it's been a good one.

[@flowerstone]

Thanks! I’ll check it out. I like Harbor Freight. 😊

[@issacbennett5707]

Thank you!

[@grahamevans9673]

Are you using a beeswax rub plus a liquid of what?

[@RcWoodturning]

No. If your referring to the yellow thing. It's a foam holder for sand paper. I use a friction polish made with shellac after sanding.

[@grahamevans9673]

@@RcWoodturning What do you dissolve your shellac in?

[@RcWoodturning]

@@grahamevans9673 I use the premixed shellac in the can. I would use denatured alcohol to dissolve the flakes if I was doing it.
