Woodturning - This Was Totally Unexpected!

Yes, and don’t put your fingers inside the bowl

I know the problem. I tried to turn a huge vase from a cherry log... it ended up as a honey dipper. My wife asked if I could turn a large platter for Christmas treats... another honey dipper. Last month I started work on an oak desk... fortunately, it was for a friend who loves honey so it wasn't a total failure. By the way, does anyone need a honey dipper? Give me a call. I've got a few.

😂🤣 love it Ron!!! 🐝

[@CBPM_]

As someone interested in starting Turning I was wondering why you would turn a toothpick from a log... seemed like a massive waste when I first watched this however it makes sense if the wood is cracked etc!!

[@HarrySmithShorts]

Thanks Ron, there appears to be a saturation in the honey dibber Market at present, prices have hit rock bottom 😂🤣 Hope all is well? 😃🪵👍

[@HarrySmithShorts]

@@solidarityworkers6900 cheers Sol 😃🪵👍

[@cameljoe008]

amazing work with great results only thing i want to say is safety i have a metal lathe golden rule #1 no sleeves no jewlery no gloves or any thing that could get caught by the rotating stock or head stock of the machine

[@spudpud-T67]

Catch your glove and your widow gets to turn off the lathe. At least it would be quick.

[@DennisCorrea]

Gloves and turning spindles are a bad idea.Please be careful

[@evalee6708]

I have lost a finger by such an accident. Pls be careful!

[@wyattcorreia2803]

That is true but the tool rest ur hands should be on the opposite side of your work and chances are nothing will happen but it is still a good rule of thumb

[@user-bt6jy6qu7y]

It's not about getting caught by the stock it's about getting caught in ribbons of metal shavings. You'll know that not all metals come off as pieces on a lathe, some metals create ribbons that are sharp as razors just as in drilling metals. Wood will always come off the same in a lathe no matter weather hard or soft wood. But you're right as far as working with metals in lathing, drilling etc, you don't wear gloves, long sleeve shirts unbuttoned or jewelery cause you can lose fingers or even limbs that way.

[@BenGlass-n5b]

As a guy who's been turning for over a decade, all I can say is -- Wow.

[@Claudio10656]

I followed your work with great interest because I love these tutorials... but what makes me smile (if you allow me) is that you took a nice tree trunk to make a small honey tool... something comes to mind movie where someone like you had taken a huge tree trunk to make a single toothpick. please smile and don't be offended because I admire your work and truly appreciate it

[@aprildegele1510]

I absolutely love it when folks listen to the wood. It will always tell you what it wants to be.

[@timbirch4999]

One problem with this approach is that the other day I listened to a log, and it told me that it wants to be a serial killer! And now at night, I hear it calling to me... Forever calling...

[@bretteee]

Yes It wants to be sawdust.

[@raypeters4525]

GOOD AT MAKING WOOD CHIPS AND SAW DUST ! REALLY GOOD !

[@maryhokenson8253]

If I had the tools I would be playing with wood all the time, I love the smell! And I love wood made into artful objects. Just beautiful Harry!

[@janicehattaway5916]

Me too...I walk into furniture stores and just inhale the smell of wood...😂

[@maryhokenson8253]

@@janicehattaway5916 😁

[@johnwayne2103]

The smell yes but be very careful with some species of wood, you can develop a sensitivity to it so always use dust protection. Not those paper masks a good one like a respirator.

[@GackFinder]

I play with my wood all the time

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

That came out just beautiful. And it made me think of two artforms, one horizontal and one vertical, that are remarkably similar: I'll bet woodturners make GREAT potters.

[@nigelwylie01]

I can see what you mean by unexpected. You did well to salvage anything! At one point I thought you were going to have to turn away the whole log. But in the end you made excellent use of a piece of a species which is normally chipped or burnt. Credit to you as always for finding beauty and purpose in your chosen material. I love this channel.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you so much Nigel! Your comment truly means a lot to me. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍

[@bretteee]

Best video for making sawdust I've ever seen. Well done.

[@pearly872]

What a gorgeous vase you made.. splendid, absolutely splendid. You have an eye for beauty.

[@dawnapm]

It's a honey pot.

[@joedyson3074]

Good to see the measuring included

[@therealbahamut]

Gotta show some respect to the woodworkers. It's a blend of science and art and the world's richer for it.

[@scottchappell3193]

The sign of a true professional is when they hit a problem then work zround the problem but still make something amazingly beautiful

[@countrywoodproducts]

That turned out quite beautiful. I cant wait to get my wood shop rebuilt and get my lathe going. The lathe is my favorite tool of them all.

[@angieconley6501]

Beautiful piece of art.

[@timo4040]

What a great video. More entertaining than anything on the TV. Fantastic

[@Umberto.Goglia]

I always have faith in wood....when a project seems to go wrong, is wood that tells you what to do! Great job Harry....merry Christmas from Italy!

[@HarrySmithShorts]

Thanks Umberto you are correct, the wood will always be boss! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and New year 😃🪵👍

[@janesmith8831]

The shape of that honeypot is lovely!👏👏👏

[@mariankeller5852]

My husband made furniture.and I helped.....we used a template to make table legs..chair spindles etc. so all would be alike..goggles are a must and always make sure to use dried wood.. use a light touch...my young sons made small projects which I still have today..

[@ryananthony4840]

I thought it was gonna be a candleholder at first, turned out awesome!

[@DanoSlingz]

Very nice little project! Love the colors and shape of the container! 🙂

[@solidarityworkers6900]

Very inventive project considering it was going to be a Christmas tree 🤔. I love the walnut.

[@gregonline6506]

Ein Honigtöpfchen! Das ist echt süß. Und sehr schön geworden!

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

Honey I shrunk the log...lol... Nice piece.

[@thunderbirdsigns]

New viewer here. Never created anything on a lathe before. It is so mesmerizing. The cup sounded so thin when you put it down. Beautiful

[@Leviathan_013]

Awesome 👍

[@boblydecker5951]

Super classy!! I particularly like the lighter coloured wood used as contrast for the finial. I’m sure the satisfaction of a beautiful piece, only makes the honey held within, that much sweeter!!! Great work!!! 😃👍🐝🍯

[@mommyseastar5776]

Patience and the right tools plus skill and imagination. Beautiful results!

[@vijaytadphale1681]

Beautiful honey pot & dipper.

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Harry I was amazed at what you manged to make out of the wood considering it was being a pain,it has nice grain. I really like the honey dipper it is magnificent the lidded honey pot is gorgeous and ghe wood is lovely it's got nice grain. Well done you are marvellous as you always come up with something out of something people would of burnt., the finish touch really makes them shin. Thank you for another marvellous video can't wait for the next. Take carefrom Amanda x

[@HarrySmithShorts]

Thanks for your wonderful comments Amanda and your continued support. As you know my burn pile is my favourite go to for inspiration! Take care x 😃🪵👍

[@mdaley3102]

Very cool. I love the way the lid holds onto the tapered handle.

[@stephenbull8962]

Harry, I follow a number of wood turners but I have to say that you are right up there with the best. A man that can make something special out of an apparently ordinary piece of timber.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you so much Stephen! Your comment truly means a lot to me. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

I like it. Nice work.

[@RavensViewStudio]

I've recently used my spruce christmas trees from the last two years to make a set of tree decorations, didn't find them too fuzzy to work with. Perhaps using a sharp bowl gouge or skew would have helped. Carbide tips will always cause a lot of fuzz on softwoods. Also, not sure I'd use any of the christmas tree species for honey... their sap can stay sappy for years. :| Lovely looking pot though!

[@matthewjohnston1400]

I was impressed enough with the stick…but wait…there’s more. ;-)

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you so much, Matthew! I knew I couldn't just leave it at the dipper. Is this one of your favourite pieces? Hope you have a great Christmas, and a Happy new year! 😁👍
