Woodturning - The Trash Can | A very mundane object that’s a true challenge to make

[@DancingFox6]

When turning in reverse, be sure to anchor your jaws or faceplate with set screws in the holes provided. Talon Oneway jaws don’t include the screws, but Packard Woodworking stocks them. Or take your jaws to your local hardware store to get fitted. Check that the screws are good and snug to keep your jaws from unscrewing while spinning. Also, remember to loosen them before trying to take the jaws off the lathe. Absent mindedness will not be your friend here.

@Lois, thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a useful comment about this very salient point that did not make it into the video. ***This is something everyone needs to know before attempting to turn in reverse.*** Oneway lathes have a groove in the spindle for specifically for engaging set screws and keeping any compatible accessory from coming unscrewed when turning in reverse. The faceplate I used for holding the trash can body has set screws. The Supernova Chuck I used later in the video for holding the bottom of the trash can does not have any set screws, nor does it have any provision for them. I agree that any accessories mounted on the spindle threads need to be secured before doing any woodturning in reverse. Doing otherwise is DANGEROUS!

Nice work. I also enjoyed your Applewood jobs. Where I live (Bowmanville, On, Canada) They grow a lot of apples and they are replacing dwarf apple trees with smaller trees closer together so I can pick up the replaced small dwarf apple logs for a dollar each at a country store affiliated with the area's orchards. Applewood is a challenge but the finished results are superb. I recently made tapered staves from applewood and used them to cover a Tim Horton's coffee cup - thus making the world's cheapest travel mug kit @ 10 cents ea

Tapered staves from a salvaged log is a challenging project. Nice job and congrats on your success! Keep up the good work. I’m glad you liked the content on this channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This is the third one of your videos I've watched and they have all been very cool , like I said in bottle stopper video comments this is cool as well I wish I had the tools to do this sort of thing ,was just thinking you or others should offer classes and or workshop for people to make things like this who don't have their own workshop or wanted to give it a go before investing . like whatblack smiths do with making knives day classes ,a angel for you might be getting home brewers who like myself would like to turn a barrel for ageing there spirit's ( if it's legal where you are) . Or yeah you could make barrels for Homebrewers as a side hustle I know they are pretty expensive usually .even an idea for another video

There actually a few woodworking schools here in the U.S. that offer multi-day turning workshops. Years ago I took a couple of night classes at from a local pro who specialized in teaching. I’m not sure how many specialty schools made it through the past two years though. COVID has not been kind to in-person anything. For what it’s worth, wooden barrels are not turned on a lathe. A cooper (someone who makes barrels) uses heat to bend the wood staves into place. Check out some barrel making videos, the process is amazing! Watching an experienced cooper work is a sight to behold. Thanks for watching and commenting on multiple videos.

What kind of wood? Looks like Ipe.

The wood used in this video is Jatoba. This wood was very hard and very dense and not particularly pleasant to turn. Thanks for asking.
