beautiful, enjoy watching this lovely creation. makes me think I should upgrade from my rolling pin wine bottle! LOL

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Kathryn! Upgrades are always good!

[@jeaniedyer282]

Wow, that was really interesting! Very nicely done. I said a couple of ‘choice’ words on your behalf when the skew chisel skated though! 🤭.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Jeanie! I was surprisingly calm haha.

[@jameymikels1886]

That is NOT a Celtic Knot...... that is an INFINITE LOOP!!!! Fantastic...... Dad trained me in woodworking and Mom trained me in MATH! I need to make this! Mind blowing!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Have fun with it, thanks for watching!

Really neat and practical wood turning project. Your chill explanation and instruction style is perfect. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Tony, I appreciate you watching!

[@slyfox7429]

Wow, outstanding work on this project. Not being a geography wizard, I had to watch the video twice to figure out how the Celtic knot curves work out. great work

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you! Not as complicated as it looks huh. Thanks for watching!

[@rogermartin7346]

A great design done by a master craftsman

You are too kind Roger, thank you!

Very pretty! Thank you for showing us how you corrected your first attempt.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you for watching Clayton!

[@vickiejenkinson2468]

Lewis, I've watched only one person do the Celtic knots before. Huw at Wooden-it-be-nice. But he was doing pens! He struggled with the small size for sure. Watching this larger one, now it actually makes sense 😆 to me. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Vickie! It isn’t complicated, just requires precision. I appreciate you watching as always!

[@jeffdeluca1153]

As I watched this unfold during the turning it was almost magical! Excellent tutorial and I will borrow the idea! Thank you very very much!

Thanks Art, they are quite easy once you have the sled. Thanks for watching!

Ooops’ happen for a reason. The ends look more “stylish “ for lack of a better word. Looks awesome!

Hello, thanks for the great and detailled explanation! I'm making a yarn holder for my mother. I thought it would be a nice experiment to make it with a Celtic knot. I'am following your steps and I think the result will be very nice. Again thanks for charing and greetings from the Netherlands!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you for watching! I’d love to see the result you get!

[@JiggsysShed]

That is beautiful Lewis and the knot came out really well.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Jiggsy!

[@stevem268]

nicely done, made lots of celtic knots myself. my favourite is a 6 loop in a pen. the six loop knot is done the same way but with a hexagonal blank. for a pen blank i use my bandsaw to cut the kerfs

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

6 loop would be nice. I should make one. Thanks for watching!

[@stevem268]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman the only tricky part is getting a perfect hexagon, but a decent tablesaw makes that easy. are you in new brunswick?

Well done on many fronts. The rolling pin is amazing! The jig you came up with was amazing, too. Thanks for sharing that one, it was very entertaining and educational!

Lewis.....I wish i could like and subscribe more than once! That rolling pin is just gorgeous....WAY to beautiful to use! My hat is off to you for leaving the boo boos in the video. I have to wonder.....how many youtube turners wouldve edited those out? In my opinion, those things add honesty, and integrity to your work. Well done sir! Bruce....you are one lucky individual to be recieving this piece! Congrats!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Lewis, That is a beautiful rolling pin and I'm sure Bruce will love it. I have followed Bruce for a very long time and his is a great person. You are the firs person I have seen make a rolling pin this way in not cutting all the way through. It is the only way to make sure the alignment is true in the rings and it is how I make my Celtic Knot pens. Great way of making the sled as well. I will probably have a go at making one of these in the future. Take care Lewis. Cheers, Huw PS The tip for starting the cut, at the same end, is so important. Please don't ask how I found that out for myself. LOL.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Huw! Yes I can’t believe I just said to mark the lead end and then I did it wrong! Sometimes……! I appreciate you watching !

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Lewis, I absolutely love that rolling pin!! I am honored my friend! Thank you very much for the gift and the shoutout! Man, that came out beautiful! Can’t wait to use it, thanks again Lewis!👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice sir

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@markskellet6870]

Very nice 👍 question: have you experienced any problems with wood movement? I know that it is not 100 % opposite, but it is not running in the same direction either. But perhaps it doesn't matter ?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Any movement is so minor that it doesn’t affect use. You cannot let them stay wet. Thank you for watching!

Hello, GREAT rolling Pin, One question, Where do you get that Hut Wax? I looked on Amazon and at Woodcraft, but can not find it. Thank you Ron

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

I get it online from hut products. Thanks for watching Ron!

[@wesleymast673]

Well done. I wasn't sure about the jig...to start the kerf, did you use your mark or have the piece against a block? I like the glue up, having the blank bigger than the cut. Is your plan available on paper, or article?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Hi Wesley. Sorry I don’t have anything on paper. I do have the piece against a stop. Thanks for watching!

[@wesleymast673]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thanks. I made 2 rolling pins and they look good, except I don't know why the ends of the knots are not perfectly aligned. Still, friends who see the pins don't seem to notice. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@FrankC76]

Couldn’t you have knocked out 2 cuts at a time had you left the saw kerf intact on the same side?

[@FrankC76]

Never mind, I think I’ve detected the flaw in my logic. I think you’d need an X shaped cradle to alternate angles, but am I wrong in thinking that would cut the build time down significantly?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

I cut one at a time to eliminate any movement that could occur in the second cut as there is only 1/4 holding it together. Also the insert wouldn’t slide past rash other. It really isn’t a long wait time between cuts especially if you are doing a few at a time. Thanks for watching Frank!

[@FrankC76]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thanks for replying! I’m going to try making one of these as a last minute Christmas gift so I appreciate your feedback.

Watching from above, you ought to see how close your hair gets to that spindle. Accident waiting to happen.

I appreciate the concern but watching from above might make it look close when in fact it is no where near the spindle. The spindle is lower than my elbows and my hair is above my shoulders. Thanks for watching!

If you and your partner are engaging in playful or humorous behavior, such as putting a lampshade on your head, it could be seen as a lighthearted moment between the two of you. However, if your wife's reaction of chasing you with a rolling pin causes you discomfort or distress, it is important to address your feelings and concerns with her in a calm and honest manner.

No one is being chased with a rolling pin here but great advice
