Great job with the woodturning, but I have to say, wearing gloves while working with a lathe is VERY dangerous. I see where other have warned you. I just want to say, it takes only one snag to break a finger or even lose one. Please be careful man! -From a fellow wood turner
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!
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? ;-)
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.

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?

take care about your security
Woodchips on your skin are much better than a hand, pulled into your lathe.
