Woodturning Projects Coffee Cup

[@CarlJacobson]

Glad to help, It's great to see so many people interested in turning. Thanks, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Where ever I can :) I've been turning a long time and friends are always on the lookout for me. I also get a lot off the beach.

[@CarlJacobson]

I've been turning for about 20 years. This is a pretty easy project you just need the right tool.

[@CarlJacobson]

That's great I'm glad your enjoying it.

[@CarlJacobson]

I had the insert but Woodcraft has inserts that are shorter I ordered some there $9.99 each. This is a great gift idea. Thanks, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Brenden, You can't have to many hobbies! Your garden looks great and like a big job. love the spuds on the GO:) Thanks Carl

[@FrenchyvisionHQ]

[@TomorrowsWoodworks]

Daamn... I'm a 13 year old and im so interested in woodworking and wooodturning I want a lathe Goood Job i love how the the coffe cup looks

[@thetitaniumman00]

Awesome. I couldn't find the black plastic one, but did find the stainless insert. Awesome video, and a little inspiration to get another project underway. Thanks.

[@keverc]

ohhh how i want a Lathe. i think that is what i will be getting myself for christmas. i carve tikis and love working with wood. i have always wanted to try turning wood.

[@CarlJacobson]

It's a Nova chuck I have two I have the other one on my big lathe. Thanks, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Metin, Thanks, hope you get a lathe soon. Take care, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Brandon, Most woodworking stores will have Paste wax. You can find mineral oil at a pharmacy.

[@TarotLadyLissa]

I'd live to have all those wood shavings for my camping tinder!!

[@CarlJacobson]

I would recommend salad bowl oil as a good food safe finish. It can be found at Woodcraft.

[@carr869]

Thats a nice coffee cup. I'm still getting all my tools and lathe parts together. Hope to be trying a few projects soon. Well I have turned a couple of pens. They turned out OK. Turned out, no pun intended. Gonna go for a walk in my woods tomorrow and see if I can find a burl or something. Got a big Pear tree that has to come down. I'll try some of that. Tom

[@baconsoda]

That's a good job. I have to get back to the lathe. I have a piece of Laurel sitting in the chuck since the start of January and it hasn't moved a turn. I was very sick for 2 months back then but the garden has taken over my life recently. Maybe I'll get something done next week. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@CarlJacobson]

I was using Paste wax and Mineral oil but yes Bees wax is food safe. Thank you, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks, Probably a good idea or maybe just a spot of hot glue. I got the large round nose scraper at Woodcraft. My lathe is a Delta.

[@LeJerome]

Great idea! I think I'm gonna try one! thank Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Yes I can make you one. it's going to be a few weeks though I'm right in the middle of moving my shop. Take care, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Anthony,

[@anthonysalyer7857]

ths is the best video ive ever seen GREAT JOB!!!!!

[@stewartneala]

Getting my first lathe soon along with others your videos have been great to get me started :) thank you

[@CarlJacobson]

Your welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. There are a lot of great turners here.

[@CarlJacobson]

You need to wash them by hand. Thank you, Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

They should be up on my website soon :)

[@andyrosado2990]

Great wood turning awesome

[@CarlJacobson]

It's a Delta, I got a new one last Christmas. I got the Delta 46-460

[@blifftc]

Hi Carl, I'm 18 and have a lathe and some tools. Problem is that they are cheap and chip and don't stay sharp. Can you recommend any places or specific brands of tools that aren't outrageous? Thanks, Brock.

[@alexmade8434]

That is so cool, im gonna make one....thanks for inspiring : )

[@FrenchyvisionHQ]

Bees wax is natural and food safe, used for centuries, and mineral oil is safe as well as it is even sold on the shelf as a laxative. Why is it not food safe if mixed? I speak of mineral oil, not mineral spirits which are not food safe. I have been using mineral oil for decades on cutting boards and wood utensils. Walnut oil is so tasty in a vinaigrette I save it for my salads, but I am sure it makes a great food safe finish on wood. Again, this is one of the best overall channels on youtube!

[@CarlJacobson]

No matter how long you have been turning in my experience you are going to catch a chisel sometimes. The bowl gouge is more prone to catch. I would go from the outside in, to have less of a chance of catching. Thanks, Carl

[@weldmama]

hi carl, i think i would actually just leave the coffee holder loose without using glue..just have it as a wooden sleeve...the reason being is that i've had more than one of those thermos things start leaking so it would be nice to be able to throw it away and just slip another one in if needed...but then maybe glue would solve this problem???dont know.... also out of curiousity...what is the name of that big gouge.scraper you use and what wood lathe do you use???...great video yet again!!

[@bbd1254]

what type of stores would i get mineral oil and paste wax locally? (anywhere)

[@CalvinBauer844]

what kind food safe finish? do you have any suggestions?

[@CarlJacobson]

No you would need to use a food safe finish, but yes then you would not need to put in the plastic insert.

[@CarlJacobson]

Pearwood should be nice and hard I'd like to see that finished. I've never turn pearwood.

[@ronandouse]

Hi im 13 i have been turning for 5 years and never really found a good supplyer for tools what maje are your tools?

[@thetitaniumman00]

Where did you get the insert from? I've been trying to find one a over the Internet.

[@robertstern7130]

Sir, I very much enjoy your videos. I learn something new on every one. Please could you share with me where you got the heavy box scraper used in the coffee cup demo? Thank You, Bob

[@xboxrules112]

did u turn that out of greenwood or was it dry and what kind of wood was that?

[@CarlJacobson]

No, I would use walnut oil or salad bowl finish.

[@LivingArtsCo]

Hello, I just posted a video response about my wood hunt. You know you are responsible for me getting into this! God bless you. Any input on what I think was a good hunt? Got all of them waxed. Remember my first turning was on Oct 7, 2012 so whqt I show might not be the best. Making progress, learning everyday. My shop is a cold place, but it is heaven!

[@lawl114]

Hey carl, What brand/model of lathe do you use?

[@diablothe2nd]

from someone new to turning, it's reassuring to see an experienced turner still gets catches with a skew chisel (06:15). At least I know, no matter how much practise I have, I've still got to be wary with that particular tool! :D Question though, the fella that taught me, told me that when i'm carving out the inside, to go from the outside in... and not the inside out (as you've shown).... and never use the bowl gouge in reverse. I'm curious as to why this is?

[@LRCswansea]

where do you get your wood?

[@CarlJacobson]

I have a Delta 46-460

[@WhoStanLeee]

Just a suggestion, when you're cutting out the inside, would you mind changing the camera angle, so that we see what you' re doing???

[@aquariumdude23]

Love your videos!!!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you

[@CarlJacobson]

It was dry and I used Maple.

[@hogw1ld]

I have used both the inserts form Craft Supply USA and Woodcraft, (same product manufacturer) and am not too happy with with them the stainless is nice but the lid is sub standard. the slider after a few uses will not lock open or closed. I contacted both suppliers but neither has a fix. Looking for an alternate insert supply if anyone knows of any.

[@FrenchyvisionHQ]

Found a Food Safe Finish Recipe: Beeswax is the most basic and commonly used is for butcher block or wood salad bowls etc. where the polish needs to be food grade. In a double boiler add 40% beeswax to 60% food grade mineral oil like what you find at the pharmacy. You can just reheat and add more mineral oil to make the paste smoother. For non food safe finish use a double boiler again add 1 lb Beeswax (1 pint melted) 1 pint turpentine (odorless preferably) and 1 pint boiled linseed oil.

[@FrenchyvisionHQ]

beeswax and mineral oil are food safe no???

[@CarlJacobson]

Got it at Woodcraft

[@CarlJacobson]

Hi Ronan, I get most of my tools at "Woodcraft" I use Robert Sorby

[@maggotpudding]

Funny how people do same things differently. I prefer the very high speed when sanding.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Bob, I got it at "Woodcraft"

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks Alex, Love to see some pictures you can upload them to my website. "thewoodshop tv"

[@CarlJacobson]

I got it at "woodcraft"

[@CarlJacobson]

I've heard good things about Benjamin's best.

[@CalvinBauer844]

Could you just turn the wood like you did in the video, but not add the plastic cup? I kinda like just the wood cup. Would you be able to drink out of it if you just used the paste wax and mineral oil or would you have to use something else?

[@NodNarbsGaming]

i always think the same thing
