127 - To Kill a Vampire

[nosloppyagape]

Rule number 1never leave the key handle in the chuck u may forget it is there and when u turn on ur lathe u will get a nasty supprise :o

[PotatoGunsRule]

Wow...that was neat to watch...thanks. Such a long point though mau be prone to breakage if the hammering goes awry.

[ca68cowboy]

@xar0mir as has been stated, a ring can catch to cause injury, or exacerbate an injury. But rings can also heat up via induction from a large electrical or magnetic source if in close proximity for an extended period. Welders know well not to wear rings. They can cause a burn and be slow enough that you don't even notice.

Good stuff Woody .. :)

Marc I'm 25 and started my workshop at age 20 in my two car garage. I just discovered your show on here and have been hooked ever since. I just wanted to know when you first started getting a passion for woodworking? I'm in Floor Covering I do HardWood Flooring among other floors but my main passion is carpentry and cabinent making. Just wanna say thanks for the inspiration that if you work hard it pays off in your trade. I'm currently setting up a new shop and looking to expand my knowledge.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@deleetmeeh Thanks man. Glad you are enjoying the content. I got started about 10 years ago when my wife and I bought our first house. Installing flooring and baseboards led to making a small night stand. Then it was all downhill from there. :)

Good luck with your career!

Marc,

If I turn this out of silver, do you know if it would efficiently kill a Warewolf too?

[Buzzsawman]

oh come on Marc...everyone knows when you make a stake that will KEEP the vamire in the grave...you have to use willow.

[edt47150]

What else was in the Vampire kit?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@edt47150 Some holy water and garlic I believe.

[dyreek1]

And a silver steak, and a hammer and a pair of leather gloves.

[dyreek1]

holy water, a silver stake, a hammer, a crusifix, garlic cloves, and a set of gloves so u don't get ur hands that dirty

[Sodabowski]

Now what kind of BBQ sauce do you recommend for a vampire steack? ;p

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Sodabowski Dave's BBQ :)

[vitaminzinc]

I am a little disappointed there was no demonstration on staking methods. =P

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@vitaminzinc haha, we'll have to do a sequel. :)

[yosoymemo]

Mr Spagnuolo, my best regards from Mexico, we are wating from more episodes... EXCELENT SHOW!!!

[fenderpaman16]

Have you done any bowl turning at all?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@fenderpaman16 A little here and there. But its been a couple years since my last bowl.

[fenderpaman16]

@TheWoodWhisperer Thats cool tho man I love it. I can go down in my shop and turn all night. It really relaxes me.

[Xar0mir]

Why removing rings? I can see how a full hand of big bling or longer chains could compromise security, but i just don't see the danger with just a wedding ring. I'm not criticizing, you are the guy with the experience, i'm not - but i just don't understand that part.

Nice looking piece btw. :)

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Xar0mir Many people believe that wearing a ring in the shop at all is dangerous, let along around any spinning piece of machinery. As you can see by my statement that I don't always follow this rule, I am pretty much in agreement with you. But if I didn't address it in the video, I would have receive a crap ton of comment from people telling me how dangerous it is to wear a ring.

[Mestara]

@Xar0mir Marc answered the reason for it being in the video, as a professional advising of possible safety concerns, even if you personally choose not to is always best course.

But from a medical perspective. If you break or sever a finger in the work shop a ring can cause significant problems later on down the track. Hopefully your safety practises prevent an accident from even happening but its always worth considering.

[haydenHD]

Great vid! A vampire stake is a fun project. Hope it auction well for MS

Association.

Thanks for sharing your great tips. Love your show.

Carl

[nejcmeister]

You missed a ring.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@nejcmeister You missed the part where I said I frequently break that rule. :)

[t0umart0u]

You run a great channel Mr Spagnuolo. Thanks for the fun and instructional vids :)

Matthieu

[tagi3d]

love it... do another turning vid

[neddie58]

very cool

[MisterFIXXX]

I like most of your videos! But this one is pretty darn special! Thanks!

[RajaofNYandPGH]

Finally something that will be useful in 2012!

[sozialeisolation]

very nice vampire-killing-tool! i especially like how it comes to life, while applying the finish!

but i´d rather use some wooden bulleds and a handgun to finish the vampire-job, than making contact with that brutal thing!

[Tagmation]

great video! want to try it:)

[pernell1974]

Was a good one ...thanks Mr. Whisperer Dude :)

[mersyturning]

eventually a turning vid but a stake is traditionally made of oak

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@mersyturning that depends on who's version of vampire lore you choose to believe. ;)

[cliffpizarro]

@mersyturning it schould be more of an aspen three couse thats the three where judas hang himsel after betraying judas but like the wood whisperer said it depend on who's version

[mersyturning]

eventually a turning vid hooray !!!

[WLucas07]

Dating yourself a little using the term "teeny bopper"; but still a very useful project and approachable too.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@WLucas07 Hmm....what's the current phrase for "teeny bopper" then?

[davenbmx]

@TheWoodWhisperer haha no way teeny bopper is definately the currant term. well at least in australia

[WLucas07]

@TheWoodWhisperer I can't think of a contemporary equivalent. I mean the term "teeny bopper" fits, it just seems dated; no offense meant.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@WLucas07 well according to Wikipedia, haha, it was started in the 50's. So it was dated even back when I was a kid in the 80's. I guess since many people still use it, it stays alive.

[tibris]

yes

[psychodelicdragon]

how long in real time did it take to make this?

any one seen BLADE?

10 stars!

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@psychodelicdragon The turning itself was done in an evening. Finishing took a little longer though because I was waiting for the finish to dry.

[designerunderpants]

You wont believe this but I just finished a design for a t shirt and i came on youtube and this was the first video i watched, the funny part is the graphic says "Vampires Dont Sparkle"

[hydynryk]

 That was great..

[wakeboarderblunt]

A pretty one of a kind woodwoorking video Mark, should get alot of views.

[cstaley39]

By far your most important and informative video, thank you Marc, you have now given me the ability to defend my family using my dusty lathe in the corner of my shop!

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@cstaley39 Then mission accomplished!  ;)

[ImposingSumo]

More turning! More turning! The more turning I see the better.

[bigkasey]

teeny bopper glittery ones... haha yeah kill em all :D
