  • Thank you for the upload!!

  • The glue in the block is pretty hard on your tools I guess by the fact you wear the glove because it gets really hot? What kind of glue, just plain old wood (carpenter's) glue? I want to glue up thin sheets dyed with RIT various colors and make rifle stocks with the same glue up (of course not on a lathe for a gun stock, maybe the front grip). I know people do it as Remington sold .22 rifles retail in the late 80's with a multi color layered stock.

  • some poeple just wear gloves because they dont like getting hit by the wood shavings, they can have a bit of a bite at sometimes, personally they dont bother me, but i can understand some people not likeing it

  • I imagine all that glue hurts a lot more than simple wood chips do, know when I cut plywood compared to sheet wood on a saw there's a big difference in what it feels like hitting hands and face. I tried one of these glue ups with carpenter's yellow glue and here was a definite difference in wear on the tool and the chips hitting your hand. I normally go bare hands because I get to feel the tool heat up, vibrations, etc but the glued wood hurts the top of my hand. Looks nice when done though.

  • this is cool, can you tell me how to make identical projects on the lathe? is there any way besides just using the gauge thing? when school starts up i want to make 2 lamps... i got a pic of one i took at the store and want to copy it.

  • All you need to do is glue up a block as big as you need for your finished project. To make a lamp, first drill a hole in the middle of each layer and line them up during the glue-up for the wire to go up the middle. You don't need to use a gouge, I just prefer it. Just remember that the "grain" of the wood is perpendicular to the axis, not like normal spindle turning, more like the grain on a bowl. I have made lamps and they look great made from plywood. good luck!

  • really nice job..so beautiful and no one would know its only ply

  • Yeah, thanks for that. I will try it. It has inspired me.

  • Thats so cool. I cant believe that is just simple plywood. Very nice work. I am going to glue up some pieces tomorrow...looks like my weeknights a full for a while. Thanks again!

  • Great demo and I'm certainly thankful that you posted it, but safety is most important and in addition to the comments already posted, I'd like to see a cover on that switchplate. By the way, why is there a hole in the drywall? ;-)

  • why the glove what do you need that for? why not rough the wood out with a roughing out gouge it would be quicker than a spindal gouge.

  • I see you wearing a chainmaille looking bit there. Have you ever caught your hand on a project?

  • ha ha ha, no, it is just a regular gardening type glove. The glues in the plywood get really hot and would burn my hand if I didn't wear it. I think it looks like I get the glove closer to the wood in the video than I really do. I have never had any problems with it but you are not the first person to mention it so I am thinking it may not be the best practice.

    Thanks for watching!

  • good work

  • very nice

  • take care about your security

    Woodchips on your skin are much better than a hand, pulled into your lathe.

  • are you hiding a finger cut like me , so do i , i feel shame

  • Tight fitting shirt and gloves ;)

  • Nice, but gloves and long sleeves at the lathe? tsk tsk.
