[haydenHD]

@MrDeepwoodtickles Yes, they like to be in the woodshop with Dad. :)

[woodturningjohn]

Well, how did I miss this one. Love her giggle, had me going as well. Saw a ton of micro turnings this last weekend at the AAW show and can not wait to make some things for my daughters doll house (while she is still into that kind of thing)

[haydenHD]

Yes before you know it all they want is money and the car keys :)

[ChuckInOregon]

Nice miniature, something I'd like to do. Where can I find a pin chuck? I tried the usual sources and can't find one.

Chuck

[haydenHD]

I think I got it at Woodcraft.

[bradturbo44]

Nice job carl all the best john.

[haydenHD]

Thanks John,

[37zeus37]

Can you recommend a "food safe" sealing product trade name

[haydenHD]

Salad bowl oil is a good food safe finish. You can purchase this at Woodcraft.

Thanks,

Carl

Do u turn pens? There is a pen exchange getting started on Sawmill Creek Forums under the turners forum. Thanks for the excellent instructional videos. Don't stop:>)

[haydenHD]

No, I have not turned any pens. That sounds like a great exchange and forum.

And thank you for watching.

Carl

Love the background sound effects. Love your videos, keep them coming. Did she get the icecream?

[haydenHD]

No she got a popsicle instead. :) And was probably just as happy.

Thanks,

Carl

[Haskraft]

Good video, I just got my own Delta 46/460 for fathers day, and I love it.

I need a chuck, do you have any recommendations? Is yours the Nova?

Thanks

[haydenHD]

Yes Nova chucks are great. I have two of them.

Thanks,

Carl

[JMRTwins]

Great video Carl , I will have to make one for my daughters doll house. I made her several miniature lamps for her on the lathe, this will make a good addition .

[haydenHD]

Thanks, I'm Sure this is the first of many. The lamps are great idea.

[fullbloke]

Another good video Carl. Was that your apprentice chatting and giggling in the background? Ha ha!

Gerry.

[haydenHD]

Hi Gerry, Yes you need to start them young :)

Carl,

[drummingriffin]

Hi Carl, Great video & fine project. I was feeling a little down when I saw this latest vid. I thought, well, Carl always comes up with the goods. Then I heard your little one laughing in the background, she has a wonderful chuckle & made me feel so much better. Move over Carl, there's a new superstar waiting in the wings. Please give her a big hug from me for making me smile.

[haydenHD]

I'll let her know she was a nice addition:)

Take care,

Carl

[MrLeonard55]

Yep. I finally had the machinist come over so he can make a part for the tailstock. He said the collet i have is a 3/4" standard form and it's an R8. I have to pick up a new one tomorrow.He agreed that it's a really good machine. I'm going to find a bolt that will fit into the chuck i'm using and the slide into the collet. He can fine tune the threads on the bolt and the end that goes into the collet.

[haydenHD]

Glad to hear it's all coming together Leonard.

[haydenHD]

Thank you.

[djbs66]

great job as always Carl.

[haydenHD]

Thank you.

[Upcountryturner]

Beautiful piece as always . Sounds like your daughter was having a blast . Keep up the good work man i love it.

[haydenHD]

Thanks! She was having fun.

[thewooforfun]

That Myrtlewood is nice, thanks for the video Sir

[haydenHD]

Thank you.

[tkcenterline]

More good stuff!!!

[haydenHD]

Thanks Ted.

[amazonhippie]

With the music you use, I feel like I'm watching a lathe show on PBS. You should have a show on there.

[haydenHD]

Can you put in a good word for me? :)

[scoobydog411]

Do you still paint trucks? I painted houses for 15 years.

[haydenHD]

Still in the paint department, but not painting often working on other assignments.

[tahounez1]

i want 1

[leozadarguide]

You did it again, one more great video, I will use this tip for sure. Of course, it was easy to did it cos you had help. I bet it was her idea

[haydenHD]

Yes, it was all her idea. She needs to stock her doll house. :)

[Truefirech]

What beautiful wood Carl. If you don't mind me asking, "What type of finish in the pint jar were you using for your friction finish there?"

Also, a great way to enjoy time with your daughter?

Chris

[haydenHD]

Hi Chris,

It is paste wax and mineral oil.

Yes, we were having fun.

Thanks,

Carl

[MrLeonard55]

Really good video. Thats some really nice wood.

Leonard

[haydenHD]

Thanks, Leonard. I think I sent some of this to you.

[dudec007]

really cool just like all your other videos! must be nice to have little visitors once and a while! anyway great protect!

Colin

[haydenHD]

Thanks Colin. Yah, she keeps me on my toes.

[Larenzoid]

Nice little vase, Carl. Is that a 1/2" pin chuck, or 3/8"? Also good to hear and almost see your little visitor drop by. I just picked up a couple of morse taper collets for turning dowels for making spinning tops. We had a demo of doing them a little differently than I've done before. I might try to make a pin chuck to use with the collets, too.

Larry

[haydenHD]

It is a 3/8. Let me know how the collets work out.

Thanks,

Carl

[Larenzoid]

@haydenHD I tried the 1/2" collet yesterday and it worked real well, held the dowel tight. It's just a collet with 3/8"-16 threads. I used a piece of all-thread to go through the headstock and then put a wood block, washer and wing nut on to tighten it up. It held it very well. I think it would do well with a pin chuck of the right size. I've also got a 3/8" collet and they (The Little Machine Shop) carry a number of different sizes.

[haydenHD]

Hi Larry, I use the same setup with my collet chuck I ran a bolt through the head stock to keep it tight.

Carl

[drskip63]
