Sam Turns a Handwheel for his Scout Lathe (remake) with Sam Angelo

[@glencrandall7051]

Way to go Sam. No laughter from here. I only laugh at mistakes that I have never made. And I made that one on the wheel I made several years ago. This is a good project. I imagine every lathe can use one. Have a great day and stay safe.

Thanks Glen, it really is kind of funny. I’ve learned to laugh at myself because I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Thanks for watching Sam

Great idea, Sam. Lots of lathes can be improved by adding a handwheel. I keep 1 1/4" screws around for my occasional faceplate turning.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Well done Sam.

[@bernardfutter5327]

Sam, something you probably did not forget to do was to notch the wheel's circumference, which I routinely do, lest a smaller wheel jams on, or I need to make a reference mark. I simply take a larger diameter blank, describe a circle on which to drill the required number of chosen size holes, and then turn them down to just under a half hole profile, and sand smooth. I've found it worthwhile, and quite like the finished job. Bernard.

Very nice...dresses up the lathe!

[@JiggsysShed]

That looks great. I use screws as well that does not need pilot holes, but I have found that they work a lot better for turning if a pilot hole is made first. The pressures exerted during turning seems to make them more fragile if they did not go in a pilot hole. I still have to get round to making a hand wheel for my tailstock as the original is broken. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Sam. Great idea. I made one of these. Instead of taking up a precious faceplate, I bought a bag of 10, 1" x 8 tpi nuts and just embedded one into the center of the wood then turned it. The nuts make it easy to make accessories for the lathe

Sam, thanks for noting that the outboard spindle is also RIGHT HAND threaded AND has set screws to keep it from spinning off during normal turning activities.

[@jackthompson8019]

Great job Sam. I am surprised that both your inboard an outboard spindles have right hand threads. Mine which is a 50 year old Delta, has a right hand thread on the inboard and a left hand thread on the outboard spindles.

Now I can say, “Well done, Sam!”. 🤪😂❤️

[@leonardmandeville2062]

You are one of my favorite u-tube channels. Do you SWAP STICKERS

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

No I don't do the stickers.....Sam

[@robertnorthrup1914]

I have a Shop Fox W1758 wood lathe but it doesn’t have an outboard spindle or hand wheel thinking of adding a thin metal+wood disk to inboard spindle that will not interfere with faceplate or chuck.

Sam, I thought the saying was we " ain't building a piano". Good video.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

????? I have built China cabinets-never built a piano. (Just something I have always said). Thanks for watching my vids

[@tomcoker9882]

Better late than never Sam. I’m sure you would have caught that as soon as you had to remove one of your #2MT tools from the spindle 🤗 Nice recovery, it will be a lot easier now. Thanks for the videos (even the ones with little oops in them). Keep up the good work and keEp those videos/tips coming. Cheers, Tom

[@perleybowen7794]

I saw that you were waring a ring and watch. Remember hearing you say that is dangerous.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Perley, yep-you caught me. First I see nothing wrong with wearing a watch while turning. I have never said that is dangerous. I had to go back and add a few clips showing how I drilled a hole for the knock out bar. I only did a little drilling. This was footage that I failed to add in the original upload. But you are right to call me on this. Sam

[@daveb.misc.2589]

Good job Sam! B4 i could get a question typed about whether you had a need for a knockout bar hole, you had pulled the video! No criticism from me, I just wondered if maybe you didnt use one on that particular lathe!

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

👍👍😎😎

[@johnfritz3792]

Is the knockout bar long enough to reach through that block of wood??

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Yes, Sam
