wood turning a spintop by Philippe

[arminask]

wood turning is SICK!!!

[ThatFellazZz]

That is overly unsafe for your hand to be sitting on the piece & thumb resting on tool rest. Anyone watching this that is new to wood turning, PLEASE do NOT do that, Veterans become over-comfortable with their machines; But NO ONE should EVER do what he is doing there. A smaller wood lathe is mostly capable of taking fingers & in some serious cases, Hands. Just remember, SAFETY

hello shazam! it's not a jaw chuck, it's a "gobelet" chuck, which fits M33-3,5

it's in fact a cylinder here a 40mm diameter , in which you insert the wood,

it holds very firmly

a little more time consuming than a jaw chuck , but very securit

@b21tracer thanks i like it

[shazamking99]

what kind of a lathe chuck is Phillipe using?

[lordem4]

best woodturning video on youtube

[b21tracer]

this is not a string , it is a piece of wire of small diameter

you can use a copper or brass or iron thread to burn the wood

depending on the thickness of the mark you want

it's better to cut a groove first ...

@b21tracer how can he hold the piece of tree when its spinning without hurting himself?



[b21tracer]

@lordem4

when the piece of wood is already round and the speed of the lathe not too fast , under 2000rpm

it doesn't hurt at all ,! it's a way to "feel" the finish... all wood turners do that :--))

what is unusual is the one-hand manipulation of the spindle gouge

what is that string that burns the wood called?

looks like you don't like your hands..

[davepen31]

great turning . Can anyone tell me the name of this song i love it

[DLGaming]

the wood looks like wax 0.0

[NuDawgontheblock]

Cool, man.

[ducttaperulestheworl]

tops are easy to make

it's a fun woodwork for beginners

just need the tools and time :D

i wish i could make a top everyday for myself

[ledomira]

How can I contact him to purchase tops like that? I've been trying for years to find tops with a higher spinning point and lower center of gravity so that they won't fall over.

[b21tracer]

thanx for your comments

Philippe is NOT on the web,and his spintops are only sold from his little shop and workshop in the countryside of Burgundy ! but ,you can write to him,he will answer your questions about how to lower the gravity center...you can also purchase these tops at a cost of around 4.5 euro ..his adress :

Atelier de Tournage sur Bois

Le Bourg

71250 Sigy-Le-Chatel , FRANCE

Bien fait. Etrange toupie, je dois essayer en tourner.

[Aprenticewoodspoiler]

Very nice i must make some.

[sssssbooom]

I think that is the most one handed turning I have ever seen must be different in France

[misterinley]

did the turner in question happen to be in harrogate at a wood crafts and tool show this weekend? There was a french turner there called Phillipe.

[crsereda]

As a matter of fact he was.

[akselsson1]

[butkatrello]
