Woodturning - Holly and Walnut Pitcher

[@CarlJacobson]

I turned this pitcher out of Holly wood, and the handle is Walnut. I used Lyle Jameson's hollowing rig to hollow out the inside. The flutes are made with the Flute Master. I finished the pitcher with Howard beeswax and orange oil.

[@ronaustin7090]

[@anovozhilov]

Great job! The author, as always at a high level! I really liked it! I do not understand people who put down cons. Probably it's envy.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!

[@mariab.e.2182]

Woooow, muchas gracias, que hermoso. Mis felicitaciones por tu talento, me da curiosidad como quedó el agujero de dentro de la jarra.

[@CarlJacobson]

¡Muchas gracias Maria!

[@justiceblackwolf369]

💖love it, truly beautiful

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!

[@JLo7575]

Very nice pitcher carl🍺🍶 Flûte Master is a strange tool but efficient ! Wanna see more of it ! Cheers 🍻 Take care

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much! I'll do a follow-up on the Flute Master.

[@JLo7575]

Carl, Happy to read it 😁

[@JorgePerez-bz4sj]

Hermoso Trabajo!!!! Felicitaciones !!!!

[@CarlJacobson]

¡Muchas gracias Jorge!

[@alansimpson596]

Thank you, Carl, for another great video. Thanks also to Robin for the music. I'm very interested in the fluting device so I hope you can let us know where to get one. That's an amazing piece of holly. I have a friend who is a tree surgeon and he often brings me freshly cut holly but it often cracks before I even get to seal the ends. Best... Alan.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan! That's awesome I wish I could get my hands on more of it. It's a really hard wood and start's cracking almost immediately after it's cut. Here's the link to Dick's website too, www.flutemasters.com/ Take care, Carl

[@donlyons8964]

stunning

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Don!

[@leratonbricoleur]

Wow! it's wonderfull. My English is not very good and I don't understand all that you speak, but is your pitcher makes with green wood or dry wood? I like very much all of your videos. Thank's.

[@Approx_99]

I'm pretty sure it was green wood

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Ginette! Yes the wood was green

[@johnmay3266]

You really are an innovative inspiration. Wondered how the pitcher mouth would be made ... easy peasey; remove everything that doesn't look like the mouth.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much John!

[@Edwin-fw4jp]

Really nice wow!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!!

[@tompritch56]

I may have shaped the handle a little bit different, but that looks awesome too.If you were to pour from it, that might be better? Thanks for posting. Always love your stuff.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tom! Ya I looked up a few different styles, and decided to go with this one.

[@robertocoiante1981]

Bravo, semplicemente meraviglioso

[@CarlJacobson]

Grazie mille!

[@richardcross9123]

Carl, a beautiful piece. I've put it on my "must try" list (I'd say "must do" list but my skills aren't as reliable as yours).

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Richard! Maybe start out with a smaller one.

[@Rachel-ls3ln]

it's beautiful

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Ryan!!

[@barbarahill7605]

I like the pitcher

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Barbara!!

[@FrostyIcarus]

So, I have been on Peter Brown's channel and been subscribed for quite some time; I saw the collab you made with the hair pieces, and loved that, but the thing about this video is I have been wondering how to make something like a pitcher, or something which you pour from, so, because I learned how to do that with this, (and because I enjoy your videos,) I am subscribing. That said: Thank you!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks Jack! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@glenmckelvey5952]

I don't even want to think about the incident again . I can still hear the screams lol . Cool project ,take care .

[@richardcross9123]

and the media speculating wildly about the loyalty of the bowl, was it properly vetted... Bowlphobia run amok.

[@CarlJacobson]

Wow!! I'm never going to live this one down :) Thanks Glen :)

[@LuisSilva-tq9sj]

Hi Carl. The incident is on video??? Witch one is it? Cheers

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Tree,man The vid. is called danger zone I think . If you look under Carls vids. and danger zone you should find it .

[@LuisSilva-tq9sj]

Thank you. Cheers

[@Approx_99]

Fantastic project! Quick question; why did you pack it full of shavings between turning sessions? Does that have something to do with the wood being green?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Ethan! Yes if green wood drys to fast it will crack, by packing it with the wet shavings it slows it down.

[@tobyhurd9244]

Amazing project. Where did you get the indexing jig and the router setup?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Toby! The jig is from www.flutemasters.com/

[@SnackAttackGaming]

How was the hollowing accomplished? With curved vase cutters, or with straight bowl/carbide cutters?

[@CarlJacobson]

I used Lyle Jamieson's hollower, here's the link.. lylejamieson.com/

[@morganloftus1333]

I don't know how to make cuts like that with the Gouge, but that is a really cool project

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Morgan!

[@justanuthaguy8080]

Nice piece, Carl. As always. my question is how do you keep the vessel from cracking around the pith when it dries? Did I notice the bottom is cored and plugged, or is it a risk you take. I have a love I really want to make into a vessel but want to kjnow She may to do about the pith left in the base. Thanks, Tim

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tim! Cleaning out the inside really reduces a lot of the stress. The thinner you can get it the less likely it will crack. If you put it in a paper bag with the shavings it will help slow down the drying process too.

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent...!! Cheers...

[@CarlJacobson]

+Adam Quincey Thank you Adam!!

[@dax6988]

it's beautiful, is it waterproof?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Beverly! It's just for display I didn't seal the inside.

[@ClintRoseCarving]

That looks gorgeous! It was worth watching the video to see the wax go on the handle alone. Do you have to avoid putting the centres into the pith when turning a log? I was told once that its too soft for the centres to keep it firmly held in place. - Clint

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Clint! I think it depends on the wood, but I haven't had much problem with doing that.

[@ClintRoseCarving]

Carl Jacobson No worries Carl, thank you for the info!

[@gnorts]

First video uploaded since I subscribed

bela peça parabéns

[@CarlJacobson]

Muito obrigado!

[@ronaustin7090]

What is the formula you use for your paste wax and mineral oil? Thank you!

[@CarlJacobson]

I use Howard now it's cheaper and works better. amzn.to/2zAv185

[@thestonefairy]

Is that american Holly or English when I turned it - Am Holly- it was a delight such tight grain and buttery texture.

[@CarlJacobson]

It's american Holly! It's a pleasure to turn!

[@Capitalism_Skeleton]

For the spindle sander, what is the substance you seemed to be sanding onto it? It looks like some sort of polishing wax. Love the videos!

[@donvanco3078]

That's a giant rubber "eraser" used to keep the sanding medium clean

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Marcus! Yes it's kind of like a giant eraser :) It cleans the sandpaper. astore.amazon.com/wood01-20/detail/B00U21SC4S

[@Capitalism_Skeleton]

Thank you both for the quick reply. I'm not a woodworker myself, much more mechanically minded, but it's just so satisfying to watch, and you present/explain it well.

[@ArkansasVapergmailcom]

Hey Carl, how'd you keep it from warping????

[@CarlJacobson]

I put the shavings inside for a for day, but it really didn't warp at all.

[@azzo123456ful]

Hai le mani e la fantasia d'oro bellissima!

[@CarlJacobson]

Grazie mille Rita!

[@Freefallpilot65]

Nice! Was that an air powered little jigsaw you used to trim the spout? Cool tool.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! Yes here's the link, amzn.to/2hpZjyy

[@VENKOwood]

Than you process emery?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@noahspence1104]

This is awesome! What was the tool you were using to get the deeper part of the pitcher? And can you use this as an actual pitcher or is it just a display piece?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Noah! I used Lyle Jamieson hollowing system to hollow it out. It's just for display I didn't seal the inside. lylejamieson.com/

[@sigguy1361]

Very nice, Carl! I must have missed the intro video, but when did you get a Robust lathe?? Those things are amazing!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! I got it about a year ago.

[@kubarga1]

Hello. Maybe it is a stupid question, but is a pitcher made of wood usable? I mean can you put some water or juice in it? What do you use to finish it inside?

[@CarlJacobson]

Yes you can make it usable I would finish the inside with epoxy to waterproof it.

[@kubarga1]

Carl Jacobson thanks

[@summerswoodworking]

ooh nice

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Brian!

[@robynmoss5986]

I have a possibly strange question for you Carl. I'm getting together all the safety equipment I'll need for learning to turn. I've got the RZMask and filter and the safety glasses. What kind of face shield do I need? Is there any other equipment I'll need to get? TIA for your help and I love your videos! I've watched all your beginning turning and your Q&A videos. They are so helpful.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Robyn!! This is a great face shield astore.amazon.com/thewood0c-20/detail/B001VXXUWK I can't think of anything else as far as safety goes.

[@robynmoss5986]

Carl Jacobson Thank you so much! I love all your videos again! I can't wait to start making little boxes.

[@cakebombs]

What's the second piece of music (playing at 3:29) called? I hear it everywhere.

[@CarlJacobson]

It's called Parasail for YT Audio Library

[@LovelyCasauay]

WOW. That looks stunning! Nice music, too. This video made me smile, especially the heart-shaped cutout you made Haha Cute. Where did you use the other half tho?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!! I haven't used the other half yet :)

[@demarioreis7607]

muito bom cara parabéns

[@CarlJacobson]

Muito obrigado Demario!

[@traceyosterlind14]

Carl, I love you work, admire your craftsmanship & dedication to you medium! The body of this vessel has a beautiful Hellenic quality to it, classical elegance. I am afraid the handle spoils the effect, IMHO. Proportion seems off to me. I was really loving it until that handle came along.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Tracy! I really liked the shape of it just as a vase, but I've never made a pitcher and wanted to give it a try.

[@traceyosterlind14]

Yes, its a really good cool idea and a beautiful shape to work with. I love how you shaped the lip. I learn more every time I watch your projects! The thickness & shape of handle just aren't working. If you google Grecian pitcher you'll see ideas for next time.

[@marknienstadt6963]

I was wondering why you don't use face plates for hollowing. Much less chance of the piece flying off.

[@CarlJacobson]

Face plates are dangerous with ingrain like this piece.

[@revrjackson]

What is the brand of the steady rest?

[@CarlJacobson]

It's made by Paul Crabtree toolsbycrabtree.com/

Can you try making a nice wooden headphone?

[@CarlJacobson]

I can give it a shot, can you send me a pic of what you are thinking about. [e-mail]

Explain how each each step is being done and kill the music.

[@chiskiewoodcreations9575]

Like the pitcher, but not so much the handle. Just my opinion. You know what they say about opinions.

:) Thank you Patrick!
