Woodturning: A Pair of Candlesticks

[@MikeWaldt]

Lovely simple and very effective design John. Your skew work is a joy to behold my friend, a great lesson on the right way to use it. Take care Mike

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Mike! Thanks for watching! :-)

[@jimholladay2383]

You inspired me to try something new. Haven't tried much spindle work. But guess it's time. Thank you for taking the time to make and edit the video.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. Your comment means a lot to me. :-)

[@rbollard1]

New subscriber Bob here. Enjoyed the part about candle hole drilling . A not-so-minor detail to be sure! Thanks! As a new turner, I am 'soaking it all in' and thanks for the quality advice.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I'm glad I could help, Bob. :) Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@bertiewooster9222]

the difference between the two shows a man made them not a machine, be proud they are that way. thanks for the video.

[@suesmith9202]

Enjoyed the video, lovely candle sticks.

[@levismadore556]

Five thousand and one. Loved the video, liked the use of large gouge for delicate turning, you’re good, bro. Levis

[@darylreinke8621]

Pushed the wrong button before finishing my comment. I liked that you used different tools and was amazed how fast you cut wood.

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

Despite the "fatal flaw" in the candle sticks, they turned out beautiful. You've got yourself another subscriber.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you. :)

[@ronhough8632]

Fascinating watching

[@jacquesleclerc4262]

I am new in turning wood and I like you a lot, you do good job. Take good care Jacques

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Jacques. :)

[@susanprior6908]

Very impressed with your skill

[@roberthornwoodturner]

Nice sticks and motivating demonstration of proper use of the skew.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Robert. :-)

[@jimstools3937]

Hey guy I just added you .YOU DO AWESOME WORK. THE WAY YOU LAY OUT THE PROJECT IS INTENSE.

[@kennethbong9903]

I like your candle sticks going to try to make them. Enjoyed your video

[@petermitchell10]

Very nice pair of candlestick holders! I bought some Burchwood firewood logs from my local shop i was trying to think what to make from them you have given me a idea now. Thank you for sharing . Pete

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I'm glad I could help. :-)

[@atoka]

I'm gonna try some candlestick holders but leave out all the complicated math for finding centers! I think I enjoy your videos so much because your demeanor is so much like my own. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I need to make a poster with my center-finding formula on it. It would be a big dot just slightly off center. The caption would say "close enough". :-)

[@darylreinke8621]

Thank you for this video. I just bought a lathe and have been practicing before turning legs for a coffee table.

[@The_Wandering_Woodster]

thoroughly enjoyed it...beautiful skew work...might have to get mine out of the bin!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Definitely. :)

[@DL-wm8ub]

I enjoyed your video and thanks ..good job.. I will get busy ..you inspired me .. cheers

[@gordonthorpe17]

Nice project, I enjoyed the video & look forward to seeing some more.... cool beard....Subscribed

[@Barrysworkshop]

Nice work on the candlesticks. FWIW, I share your affection for the skew, although I am still developing some of the finer skills that you demonstrate in your videos.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Barry. :-)

[@valborchardt3596]

Hi there, you just got a new subscriber, from south africa. Those candlesticks were great. Thank you

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you very much. :)

[@miguelmontano8761]

[@phantm24]

love watching you turn, when I first saw the drawing you did I thought "how boring", but after seeing the finished product, I like .And something for the camera, as a viewer, I find the best posi is behind the lathe and a bit above the work piece. cheers

[@petercarr744]

Great video, i will try and i will adapt what i have seen. Will try some of what you did but will also adapt some to the way i feel ok with.. Thanks

[@artfulgloves]

Beautiful! It's simple shape but very impressive. I need try it!:)

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you. :)

[@Bramsshed1913]

Hello John, I like them very much! its a very well demonstrated video on making them.Congratulations on 5K plus subscribers ,it is richly deserved my friend,I am not keen on video editing either, I tend to forget how I did certain bits and it usually takes me quite a few hours to get it somewhere how I like it.Many thanks for sharing ,All the best Bram

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thanks, Bram. I need a camera operator and video editor that I can pay with candlesticks... or shavings. :-) After a few hours of editing I still don't like the finished video most of the time.

[@miketobish5387]

Great video like your style easy to learn from

[@leewardleworth3225]

I'm a new subscriber. Very enjoyable. Cheers Lee

[@plumbbomb77]

Its good to see turning tools used [skew work ,great ] not scraping then 1/2 an hour of edited sanding out the torn grain..Regards Alf

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Alf. :) I hate sanding. :)

[@wildwoodturns]

Nice candle stick holders and video but most of all that beard is getting to be something else! :) Happy New Year John and congrats on the 5k+ subs! Hope to see more from you in the coming year, best regards, Rick

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thanks, Rick. Yeah, the beard is starting to complicate my videos. It's getting tough to shoot around it... and I can't shoot through it! :-) Happy New Year to you too.

[@mrgroovestring]

"Awesome beard = blocked camera" ..... LOLOL!!!! ..... my awesome beard used to get in my mouth at 60 mph ridin' in the wind listening to 2 drag pipes on the blacktop, .. good times. I felt better in those days, and I pray that God will continue to bless all of us, my friend. Another winner! Kent

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

:-) Thanks, Kent. My beard blocks my wife's view on the bike. I tell as long as I can see what's in front we're okay. :-)

[@mrgroovestring]

Roundabout Woodworks LOLOL!!! Yeah man... !! I gotcha. I appreciate the hints concerning the grinds on the tools very much. I had wanted something to help me do finish work on little beads and coves so I picked up an 8 mil. spindle gouge with those other tools for small stuff, now that was ironic, (just in time to see you turn these holders, I think that they are going to be really nice. The wood for the handles turned out to be "Red Maple" and hard as a rock, I turned 1 of them yesterday, they are beautiful. Keep filming pal, anyone that doesn't like your videos is crazy. ;-) !!! Thanks again man, Kent

[@MuninWoodturning]

Lovely!

[@milandockery7357]

Enjoyed this video and his ease of using the tools. I am a beginner and still a little tense when using the skew! Just wondering if he turns everything at one speed? LOL

[@billastell3753]

The nice thing about wooden candlesticks is once the candle burns to the bottom the wooden candlestick can light up and keep on burning. LOL!

[@mauiharward7897]

Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

[@TheSpiritsoulbody]

you are amazing, cool video!

[@carlowesterhof]

First thought: WOW, cool beard!!!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you. :)

[@MonteTurner]

You are way to hard on yourself, we all are, and I think we should be. I find a great deal of inspiration from your videos. I hope I can turn as well as you one day.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Monte. :-)

[@andaby84]

that's very helpful but my concern is how much the increase your power bill for doing those 2 candle steaks.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Can't be much. I could do the math, but I don't want to. :-)

[@Redthumb45]

I would be terrified to go near a lathe with a beard like that. Don't know how you do it. Beautiful job on the work though. SUBSCRIBED

[@trevormorgan912]

I've been interested in making a small self defense club... could you possibly make a tutorial on that? thanks in advance

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Like this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXSf2qGd5p0rJI

[@jackmaravola2496]

Good job John, actually I like when two items of the same are slightly different. Shows home made instead of mass produced.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Jack. :)

[@rolandeouellette7861]

I have a tip for you, tell your clients to put foil wrap where you put the candle.

[@judebandstra3169]

I’ve been turning for 7 years, and whenever I am trying something new, I always practice on oak

[@willemkossen]

I dont like editing video either. My daughter enjoys it, sp i recruited her to help. Nice candle sticks!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you, Willem.

[@leegar1537]

Good work is a pleasure to see '"Moises" work, good skill with the tools, and remember some die caught by the ass, and others caught by the beards

[@pointer2null]

Have a section in your store called "seconds - almost perfect but not quite" and sell them at 1/2 or 1/3 price. Means you still get some return on the time.

[@dirtybird4528]

For duplicating would it work to turn one that you like and then use a pin gauge to make a pattern for additional pieces?

[@sethwarner2540]

nice sharp blade...

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Sharp tools make for a good surface and less sanding. :)

[@sethwarner2540]

now do you have a brake on your lathe? I haven't seen that before.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I grab the handwheel. A foot operated brake would be awesome, but I don't have one.

[@sethwarner2540]

wow how much travel do you HAVE? My little mini lathe goes 2"!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I have four inches of quill travel on my tailstock. Sometimes I wish it had more. :)

[@spectrumwiz]

6,513 now....like your work "because it's close enough"

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you. :)

[@steveng6269]

Nice shape! Maybe I missed it. Did you say how long the candlesticks are? I did not see this in your sketch.

[@GryphonXCIX]

Love the candle sticks. I do have a question for you. Have you ever caught your beard in the lathe? I couldn't help but to sit here and wait for it to get just a little too close.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

There's nothing to catch it on. I don't let it wrap around anything as long as it doesn't get closed up in the chuck when I'm mounting a blank. I haven't done that yet, but I've come close. :) I wear a bandana now to keep it out of the way.

[@sethwarner2540]

Your'e right; hand-turned should look that way.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

I aim for perfection, but I'm not crushed when I miss. :)

[@andaby84]

it is nice

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Thank you. :-)

[@robertbuchanan9759]

use a 3/4" copper plumbing cap for insert

[@rolandeouellette7861]

I am scared for you that your beard will get caught in the wheel ... lol

[@jgalloway2407]

Would some type of fire-retardant coating be possible?

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Maybe. I don't know if there's a chemical that would work, but I wouldn't rely on it. Better safe than sorry. I extinguish candles before leaving the room.

[@Argomil]

your beard is a nice catcher for chips :) hope you dont get caught with it in the spindle

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

Yes it is. :)

[@Deviant9125]

hey hey hey Safety man! That beard came too close!

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

It just looks close on camera. :)

[@spudpud-T67]

Hey you're safe, mate you're in your chair on the other side of the internet.

[@gregdagg9305]

Two words I would never use in the same sentence are, "fir" and "firewood".

[@timbirch4999]

Liked for awesome beard! :-)

[@sethwarner2540]

Hey, bro, time to review your sound system; I can't hear you.

[@ilyessaeq2]

Bloke. You just a new one.

[@RoundaboutWoodworks1]

?

[@ВладиславБаланов-я5з]

Привет! А как же техника безопасности? Бороду так подхватит на болванку и оторвет бошку(((( а кто точить будет?

[@speedklown]

Less boring when you speed up... 15min to see you turning while it could be only 3, pffff...

[@niklar55]

Liked your video, your philosophy is similar to my own, BUT you should really get a hairnet for your beard. History is littered with people who have had their hair and skin ripped off by rotating machinery, usually women. The rotation produces a vortex of moving air that can and will suck any loose material into it, and if it does, it will grab, and wind your face off! Getting your face pulled into a rotating piece, is likely to do more than give you a just rosy complexion. Be safe, not sorry. Sorry is too late already!

[@bobbygilbert1831]

Nice enough work but less chat and speeding up would relieve the boredom

[@lyndalanthony635]

Some good technique, some not........

[@31Sparrow]

it's got to hurt when yr beard gets into that lathe
