Wood Turning: Wood Pendants

This week I made a simple, but effective, jig for turning wood pendants without a fancy eccentric chuck.

I have been making wooden pendents on a scroll saw for some time now to sell at craft shows. I will now be able to include some turned pendents as well. Thank you for the tutorial.

Thanks for watching! I hope everything made sense.

Hair dryer or heat gun can soften up the hot melt glue for easier removal w/o possibly tearing out the plywood.

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thanks for the tip.

Omgosh, these pendants are so beautiful!👏👏👏

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thanks! And thanks for watching and commenting!

Good project. I like the way you improvised your offset chuck. Nice work!

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thank you! It was an improvised version from something I saw on another wood turning channel.

@@PiedraDesigns I’ve been a carpenter for over 40 years. Very little of what I know did I invent. We take what we are shown and apply it the best way we can figure out. That is what an artisan is. Happy Turning

Well done, Wesley! Perfect wood for a pendant. 😃

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thank you! I had to find something to do with those off-cuts, just couldn't bring myself to throw them out.

[@GPDIY]

My hat off to you. Excellent work!

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thank you!

Nice job.

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thank you!

Neat idea, sometime a little thought goes a long way.

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thank you, although I can't take credit for the idea, I saw another turner do it.

Great video Wes. I'm planning on making some very soon so this video really helped. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thanks Huw! I look forward to seeing what you turn up. Wes

[@peterfabricius662]

Nice demo of improvising. I like DIY using any inspiration that comes your way. Comment, you should ways step to the side when turning a piece that is attached with tape or hot glue…. I hope you are wearing a face shield.

[@PiedraDesigns]

Thanks for watching!

[@Submanca]

Why don`t you cut the hole on your first side then use the drill to center the pendent on the other side.

[@PiedraDesigns]

Certainly could use the drill to line up for the second side, I just wasn't worried about it being 100% perfectly aligned. Thanks for watching!
