Woodturning a Biscuit Cutter

[@stephenbaldwin8554]

Thank you, Jason, for sharing your turning skills. My wife fell in love with the biscuit cutter we got at the Farmer's Market. I can't wait to trying making one, following your example. Keep up the good work.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks Steve, it was so great to talk. I am glad your wife loves the biscuit cutter! I hope everything goes smoothly while you make this project!

I bought a chuck for my lathe a few years back, and it was a 1 inch 8tpi si I had to get an adapter to 1 1/4 8tpi. Ended up using it and bending my shaft on a catch. So I'm going to get a proper chuck for it soon.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Wow! That must have been some catch! I’ve been there before though😉! I guess everything is a learning experience.

[@billrobinson8939]

Another great idea. Made some French rolling pins.. I'll see if they sell at this weekends show. Concentrating on 5 charcuterie boards I want to have done for the show, but I can probably squeeze 1 or 2 of these in. Thanks

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Good! I try to have 2 to 4 of these at shows. They do pretty well. people think they are cute.

[@SouthDakotaBowHunter78]

This is an amazing idea

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks this is my take on an idea I saw someone make.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great idea

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks 😊

Hello Jason… I just found your channel and liked the way you explained how you were doing the end grain! 👍🏻 I’m working on a small piece and it’s end grain and as you know it can be a little tricky to cut! That cutter turned out nice and got me to subscribe! Thank you for sharing!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Hey Bill I’m glad you found my channel. I hope your end grain project goes well!

[@danhillam]

Jason, What a great demo of a great project! I'm looking forward to trying it.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks Dan, this is a fun project. Not too difficult. You should really try it!

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Jason the colour of the wood you used looks lovely and it has some nice grain in it. The biscit cutter was a awesome idea it come up really nice when you finished it well done

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thank you Amanda! It really is a fun project. The wood was black walnut harvested somewhere around Pocatello Idaho. I really like the way this one turned out.

[@amandatallis9875]

@@Geiserwoodturner it's the colour of the wood amazed me it's beautiful

[@keg1dog]

My name is Patrick and I make biscuits! Biscuit makers anonymous!;) really enjoyed your video and may give it a go!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Sounds like an addiction to me! I wish you luck! Happy tasting and turning!

[@keg1dog]

Quick question what size drill bit did you use for your air relief holes? It looks 1/4” ish but hard to tell. Thanks! P

[@Geiserwoodturner]

@@keg1dog yes it is 1/4” ish. Any thing right around that size would work.

[@keg1dog]

@@Geiserwoodturner thanks and thanks for being right there to answer my questions? Got the inside done ready to mark and drill!;)

[@marknelson5910]

You do amazing work and make it look effortless!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks I try to. even though it is effort!🤣

[@jamescarter8813]

good looking piece Jason. Well explained.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

You can’t beat the look of walnut!

[@Warpcox]

Wonderful

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thank you

[@moonwoodworks4607]

Great idea, can't wait to give this a try .

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks! I hope this helps!

[@jeffrosen8237]

Very nice! Another idea to make. Thanks for sharing.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Glad to share ideas 💡! Thanks

[@lauramoore8083]

Beautiful! And handy! I'm cheap and use either a cup or a canning ring. You're making me re-think this tho!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Most tell me they use an upside down glass. I’m glad you liked it!

[@amandatallis9875]

This is very nice I really like,e it well done

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thank you 😊 so much!

[@jimhoopes7842]

Totally freaking awesome!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks Jim! We will see when the biscuits are made!

[@normakers5632]

Beautiful!

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thank you! I thought this was particularly beautiful myself!

[@MattsWoodshop]

God job Jason 👍 biscuits and gravy are my favorite. I made a biscuit cutter not to long ago but with a twist, they are fun turn; but I guess everything is fun to turn 😀 (Liked and subscribed)

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Thanks, I guess your right. Everything is fun to turn. 😁

[@DonBradway]

What a great new CHRISTmas present project! I'm curious why you didn't use the Forstner bit to hog out the majority of the wood and then finish with your scraper.

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Great question! I absolutely could have done it that way. Two reasons… The first is when you get to know end-grain hollowing it’s can be just as fast to just grab a gouge and go for it. It takes time to set up a forsner bit. Secondly I don’t own a forsner bit that large and didn’t want to wait to order one. I don’t have any stores here in idaho where I can run out and buy individual sizes. Absolutely try it the way you described though and I’d like to hear about how it went!

[@DonBradway]

@@Geiserwoodturner I'm in north Idaho and I'll loan mine to you! BTW, your videos are very well done. Your voiceovers provide good descriptions of your progress and you don't have machine/shop noise to overcome.

[@markb8954]

Really great tool control. Nicely demo’d, but does it work? Where are the biscuits!?

[@Geiserwoodturner]

Sounds like a yummy idea for a short vid!

[@georgeadams4864]

Hi just watched your video for biscuit cutter . I really enjoyed it and I also like making them. Could you please tell me what a good selling price for them would be ..

[@Geiserwoodturner]

I sell them for $40. It could be more or less depending on your area, quality, how long it takes you to make, etc.

[@georgeadams4864]

Thank you for getting back to me .I really appreciate it.

[@sincerelyyours7538]

Nice! I was kinda hoping you'd show us how you make biscuits with the finished product. I know it's simple but I live outside the US in a country that doesn't eat biscuits except at KFC restaurants, and then only rarely. I actually thought you'd be talking about the biscuits used in woodworking. Have I been missing something? :>)

[@Geiserwoodturner]

I’m a not really much of baker, however I do really like eating 🍽. Hopefully I don’t have to eat the biscuits used for woodworking! 😉

[@theajthomas]

Tell me more about that brand! Did you make it yourself or order it from somewhere?

[@Geiserwoodturner]

I actually made it myself with a piece of 1” brass rod. It’s not something I’d do again though. It took many hours and I think now I would find someone to order it from.
