#woodturning #turning #carljacobson
Hi my name is Carl Jacobson,
I started woodworking with my grandfather as a young boy. I continued woodworking through high school, and started woodturning after seeing a turned project in a friends shop. Some of my fondest memories are working with my grandfather in his wood shop. Being able to share our passion for woodworking, ties it all together. We also do a lot of epoxy projects as well as woodturning.

[@TexasTurnings]

Shopping list: Niles offset jig,beading tool, and double sided tape. Great ideas Carl, and welcome to Texas we have four seasons, cedar, ragweed, grass, and hay fever.😏

[@CarlJacobson]

LOL Thank you Don!!

[@JimmyLee0757]

Thanks for sharing this Carl. These are pretty cool and just another reason why we don't have scrap wood.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jimmy!! I agree 100%

[@Oonagh72]

That is so pretty!! I hope you and Robin feel better soon!!!

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

[@SteelBladeWoodworks]

Awesome video Carl!!! Now that I have seen the jig in use, I can see the endless possibilities!!! Super cool.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you brother!! It really is awesome!

[@jlarts]

Something like this makes me rethink whether I want to invest in a lathe, I reckon even with a mini lathe this would work a treat

[@CarlJacobson]

You can do a lot with a mini lathe, it's a lot of fun!! I had one for years!

[@kris_kreations]

That is so neat, Carl. Love it. I hope you and Robin are feeling better. Get well soon. 💗

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Kris!! ❤

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

That's a beautiful pendant! Thanks for demonstrating the jig - very cool.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much!!

[@jackthompson5092]

Pretty neat Carl. More toys for the lathe and more things to do with wood scraps. Well done.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jack!! Definitely a lot of fun!

[@valborchardt3596]

[@CarlJacobson]

lol Thank you Bill!!

[@markv1027]

Great demo and beautiful pendant, Carl! Enjoying the new camera work, also.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Jay!! It's the same camera work, (Robin does all the filming) but maybe a different style? This video we wanted to show the whole prosses.

[@gpanizzolo6090]

Hola Carl! Gracias por compartir tan excelente trabajo! Felicitaciones! Un abrazo! Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay.

[@CarlJacobson]

¡Muchas gracias!

[@shastastan1935]

Great idea with the beading tool. I'll be using the Easy Wood beading cutters when I try this. Thanks

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! It's a fun project.

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks! That's an awesome jig!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Lewis!! It really is :)

[@jimneely4527]

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Doug!!

[@ConnieConnie824]

Love it 💜

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Connie!! 💜

[@rickgibson7876]

Looks good Carl. I bought that jig from Ruth several years ago but haven't used it much. If it's the same jig Ruth was selling years ago there is an excel spreadsheet program out there that will let you input the holes you are thinking of using, size of pendant and it will draw the the finished pendant for you. Saves guesswork as to what the finished pendant will look like. It also works with the open office spreadsheet and it's free for those who don't want to pay the big bucks Microsoft wants. Also works on my android tablet.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Rick!! With the link I put in the description the PDFs are on that page, but I should of mentioned that in the video! Yes it's the same jig Ruth has been selling :)

[@PerikovRemont]

👍👍👍

[@jerrystreeter4692]

Very nice, I’ll need to add that jig and the beading tool to my “need to buy” list. BTW, we spoke at SWAT about chucks and I did take your advice. Thanks, Hope you two get to feeling better sooner.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Jerry!! I'm glad I could help, you're going to love the chuck!

[@blumax413]

Loved your video. Thank you for the goose stopper that is what I am going to try and make first I have the stopper on display with Mike Mahoney plater and Stuart Batty’s bowl and Tod Raines miniature dish

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Rick! It was nice seeing you at the show!

[@dbeck717]

I have the older model. I like the upgraded version

[@CarlJacobson]

The older model is still really cool, but this gives you a few more options.

[@robertbetts101]

bless you!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Brilliant Carl. I have just bout the Robert Sorby Eccentric Chuck System so looking forward to trying something like this one it when I can pick it up from a friend of mine. Great video carl. Take care. Cheers, Huw

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy! That's great and you're going to love it! Have a good one!

[@wardwilson3216]

Interesting device, thanks for sharing. Hope ya'll feel well soon

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Ward!!

[@monophoto1]

If you drilled out the mounting hole using a brad-point bit before shaping the area around the hole, you could probably minimize the amount of sanding that you have to do while also managing the thickness of the wood immediately surrounding the hole. I've made lots of these - they make great zipper pulls for sweaters and fleece jackets.

[@CarlJacobson]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@ohadam9071]

Very cool

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!!

[@AndrewArndts]

The one issue I have with mrs. niles' jig is that it ain't safe to use if you have a midi or mini lathe. your robust beastie is good as it weighs what 700 or 800 pounds. using it on a 100 pound midi is just asking for trouble personally. I had one some 8 or so years ago, sold it before I actually used it. tested it out and it shook the (Expletive!) outta my lathe and I had it bolted down to a 250 pound bench too.

[@CarlJacobson]

I'm not sure what you were turning, but it sounds pretty heavy. She's sold hundreds of these to people with small lathes, and you're the first person that has said there was a problem. This jig is for pendants, bottle stoppers, and small boxes etc. We had someone demonstrating them at the last show on a Jet mini lathe just on a stand with no problems.

[@alexclark6777]

I love the fact it has some sort of fractal style to it, like a seashell made of burl. Is it my imagination or did I see a psychedelic Death Star in the other ones you did? Glad you're both back making videos!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Alex!! lol Maybe? Those are from our gallery on the Niles website.

[@kgwoodturning]

Bless you Robin at 5:51 😂😊

[@CarlJacobson]

❤ Thank you Kieran!!

[@TrevorDMcClung]

Have you ever heard of a "Saueracker Shell"? It's a similar technique but produces a much more interesting pattern. I've turned quite a few myself but unfortunately little information exists online about them.

[@CarlJacobson]

I've never turned one, but a friend of mine turned one a long time ago. Here's a link if you haven't seen it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6awm3SMqLaofac

[@brokenbranchwoodshop1873]

Wow! That turned out awesome! And those pictures of the others..insane! Can’t wait to use mine. #belikecarl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you brother!! The only limit is your imagination!

[@Ron_Radliff]

Super job just at the right time as I need to make a few. That new version of the off center gig looks really nice compared to the older model that I have. Must be something to do with that new big corporation that took over the Niles Bottle Stoppers company. LOL

[@CarlJacobson]

LOL Thank you Ron! I was at your shop earlier today but I didn't see you! 😉

[@Ron_Radliff]

@@CarlJacobson I guess I saw Robin's post too late and you'd already left. I know the garage door was locked, but you should have knocked. I was just inside, watching Cap'n Eddie youtubes. Really good stuff, you should watch them some time. He can teach you a lot. LOL

[@charleskallay5484]

Hi Carl Great demo! I'm assuming you can use the Niles tapered mandrel in this operation. Did I also correctly that everything you need to this pendant comes with the jig.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much Charles!! Yes everything comes in the kit, including the mandrel. The jig mandrel doesn't have the flute cut in it, so there's less chance of cross threading the jig.

[@MakingItOutOfTheWoods]

Carl! Awesome as always. Do you have a link to buy the off centre plate and bottle stopper mandrel please? Never seen them here in the UK 🇬🇧 hugs to Robin xx

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much Claire!! ❤ Here's a link :) nilesbottlestoppers.com/product-category/off-center-jig/

[@jlsuter91]

Very nice! What size beading tool are you using for this particular project?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!! It's the 3/16"

[@gtrudel7247]

Great video, the necklace with earings would make a great Christmas present.Where can I purchase an offset Mandrel.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!! Here's the link to the jig, and the mandrel comes with it. nilesbottlestoppers.com/product/joyner-off-set-complete-kit/

[@kgwoodturning]

Carl this turned out beautiful!! That heading tool looks much different than the ones I'm use to seeing. What size is that one? Another stunning piece for real!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy!! It's a D-Way 3/16" It's my favorite one!

[@kgwoodturning]

@@CarlJacobson thanks! I was looking at getting the two tool set. What other size would you recommend?

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

HI carl u r good infact very good.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you so much!!!

[@tamaraflanders5644]

What tool are you using when you make the bead cut?

[@CarlJacobson]

It's a D-Way beading tool
