 Do you want me to talk on it? Do you want me to talk on it? Yeah, I think I'll use it. Okay, I'll tell you what. Come on in. We probably should be doing this, it's quite late at night, it's probably, I don't know, it's like 11 o'clock. We, I've got this piece of wood and I was just thinking it'd be great to turn it into a bowl, it's a piece of ash. So a nice piece of ash, yes I have bought it from a shop, it's been seasoned, it's got a coat of wax around the outside, so that way when it's been seasoned it hasn't cracked. Now we want to turn it into a bowl, how are we gonna do it? We've got to find the center so we can put that plate on it, once we put the plate on it, we can then put it on the lathe, start turning it down to a bowl. But we need to put the plate on before that find the center. The way I do it is I put that down, I take my ruler out and I measure and it is quite late, I'm not sure about numbers right now, but it says 13.5, what's half of that? What, 6.75? 7.8. If it was four, no it's 14, actually look, it's 14, let's call it, so we go seven, it's just sort of, so it's just sort of seven, let's go roughly, roughly there, then I'm gonna take this, there's probably better ways of working this out. And what would you call this tool that you're using here? I think they're called a protractor aren't they? So I'll measure this protractor right up to the seven mark, and I'm gonna use this a couple of times, put it right on the edge, just to try and find the center of my, what is hopefully soon to be a bowl. So I've done two, let's do a third, no it's kind of not really working though well, but the idea is that you keep going and eventually, Don't meet in the middle. Eventually you should meet in the middle, but I've just stretched it I think. Yeah, you've gone to eight half there. Yeah, I've stretched it way too much though. And that is the trouble with having a loose protractor. There you go. So let's just do that again, oh in fact, which way do we want the bottom here? Let's do that. Do that one there, one there, one there, one there, it's about right there. So we've got a few lines, but it's roughly there. And just to double check it, we can always use a ruler. Seven. Yeah, that's how I do it, if I was paving and stuff, just do. So we know we are within a few millimeters of it. Now we need to get the base plate, which I'm bringing over right here. That's what we're gonna get on. Using our electric drill, electric screwdriver, whatever you call it. We keep that right there in the center and then we just eyeball it. Yeah, we good, yeah, let's make sure that's straight up. And then, yeah, get that down. And then we can change the drill bit eventually. Ask us if you're using a screw bit. I don't know, probably just some cheap being key here. Not tight here anymore. And then we'll just reach over, grab the screwdriver from the wall and make sure it's super tight.

Interact with it, give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. It doesn't really matter. It all comes down to interaction, boosting that position in the algorithm. Block him. Key word, algorithm. Right, there we go. We've got this on, let's go to the lathe. Cancel him, cancel him. Cancel, game canceled. Lathe wise, I'm just gonna use this tool. So if you look there, as I adjust this, what'll happen is these teeth, whatever they're called, they'll open up. And as I open up, you're right there. He's trying to take his jacket off. He's taking my jacket off, mate. It's nice and warm in here. We've created a nice little microclimate with our body warmth, the North and South divide coming together to bring you amazing content. So I'm turning this, by the way. It's gonna be my bowl. This is it. Which I will treasure, but I might give away. You can take back with you up North. Make it hard. Toughen it up a bit. Have you gravy and chips out of it, whatever you Northerners eat? Careful. A little, mate. Got a lot of Northerners watching here. Hey, Northerners up North is watching and then the Greeks from the South. No, no, he's already, he's dug his grave, lads. All right, there we go. So the next thing we wanna do is grab the first tool we want. However, safety first, ladies and gentlemen. We're gonna put that down. We're gonna grab maybe a glove for the left hand and goggles. I don't need goggles, man. Goggles as well. Let's just call it one of these. What is it? Mask. COVID mask, yeah. COVID mask. Let's go for, so double check this. So back to this, we're making sure that yes, this cross section by tightening this. Yes, it's nice and tight. It's not gonna move anywhere. That is nice and secure. Let's double check this to make sure it's super tight. Oh, wrong way. Yep, super tight. So we know that wood is gripped on. All we've got to do now is turn the lathe on. And I think I've left it in high speed, so let's drop it down to low speed. There we are, low speed lathe. This is it. This is the business end of it now. Here we go. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, is it? Do I get any safety gear off? I'll just rely on being not, oh no, he's getting the silence of the lamb's gear on now. First of all, you're in trouble. I just wanna let you all know that I do also cut diesel or repair shoes and handbags, but only if they're crocodile leather. So if anyone's got anything, please send it to me. Comment below, send it to Hayes, not forward it to me. Didn't you also have a nephew called the Nerf yet? One point in your life. Ha ha ha! Right. That's real, real nice. Right, hold on. There we go. So if I hold my tool, my chisel to it, you're gonna hear it suddenly bounce, go da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, because that we can already see if I look at it. Why even is it? We can see it's not even. So listen to this. It's gonna go da, da, da, da, because it's not even. We're gonna shave it down to get this thing even, nice and round. And that way when we put it on, it'll be a smooth, shh. Right, let's go. Yeah. A little bit at a time, it's really messy. Hold on. Are you filming me using me for content for your YouTube channel? No, because if I was using it for content for your YouTube channel, it would be this. Right, come on. Right, so we're gonna just continue. Let's speed it up a little bit. So that there, that's the gearing, that's the speed. I'm just speeding it up, I'm just speeding it up a little bit, ain't I right? I'm just shaving it. In fact, you know what? Let's quickly sharpen this. So if you've got to hold that, is there a resistance there? If you've got to hold that quite tight. My left hand is actually, I'm pressing down onto it and I'm pushing down with pressure. Because I don't want this to suddenly go all over the face, because it could create a big problem. Yeah. Before you get a lot smoother, now let's try that test again. By putting this on there, by the way, your lens is really dirty. Test these test these. Try that again, let's see if it's any smoother. Won't it? Won't be this time. I think it's starting for another millimetre or two. Okay. I'm pretty happy, this is now smooth. And look at the grain on that. This is ashes, by the way. See, it's smooth. Remember, it's going to be smoother once it's polished down, as in once we pull out the sandpaper, take it right down to maybe a six, that we're an 800 grit. And then we're going to add a finish to it. It says we, but me. Oh, your battery's dead. Oh, fuck. My first bold lading turning kit. Yeah, that's all right, maybe move your left hand up a bit more and just maybe. A lot of power down. I mean just with your finger, come in contact with that, that tool rest. So you kind of know where you are. And don't let it, just go slowly in, don't let it jump in. Woo, don't do that. Yeah, just shave it. Shave it all the way that way. Just shave it. All right, that'll do. Gonna turn it off. And lifting that up, press the red button. I've just gone up to 15% more manly. Shave it down. And start on the outside. Remember, we're going to leave quite a thick wall because before we finish the wall later on, we want to take the majority of the inside out to hollow it out. So slowly start on one edge, all the way down. Are you all satisfying that look? Oh, satisfying. It's so, like, it's like, very. Not here, look. It's not a serial killer, right? Let's let it go in. Try and put a little bit more, kind of like 10% more pressure on it. And you're gonna see, you're gonna start to take out more and more chunks. She's rough. I mean, I'd call up north that'd be finished. But apparently down here, we've got to make it look a lot more beautiful. So what stage are we at now, Dustin? I think let's just sort out the bottom of the bowl, get the inside finished. Then we're gonna come back to the outside and make the outside look like a bowl. Okay. Sorry. Don't say chlamydia, don't say chlamydia. Cut that. So as there's probably lots of dust in the air, I might just put my mask on. I'm leaving that in. I might cut the bit about chlamydia out and all that. I'll rest-sustaining. So we're at this stage now. We've just de-nippled it, because it did have a little timber nipple in the middle of it, but that's been D. We've surgically removed that. Right, so it's starting to take shape. It's starting to look a little bit bolly. It is, yeah. So what's the next stage? Let's go back to the outside. In fact, there's a little bit of air. Right, we've got a little bit of, yeah. You see that little bit there? I'm gonna turn it on, and I'm gonna use another tool. Which one should we go for? This one. I'm just gonna round off the step on that little ledge. That little ridge, what do you call it? We call it a ledge, stick with ledge. So just get on with it. Get on with it. Yeah. No, just take it, right, go. I need my visor. Yeah, safety first, isn't it? Our 32nd, base first. Right, I'm gonna dab out of this now. We're just gonna work from the outside in and clean this edge up, you see? Ever so gently. See, the little changes in the wood as you're going along. Like with the chisel, it's blatant, but with this. It's ever so slight, you can see. The grain changing, you can follow it along. It's so slight, it's fine, man. Already it's getting quite shiny. Yeah, you see that grain's popping now, look. That's lovely. So there's a few lines, see those lines there? Yeah. If we keep going with that, because it's pretty good, it's rough sandpaper. I think keep going on that lower third, maybe lower half. Keep going for another 30 seconds on there. And then we're gonna change the sandpaper for a different grade. We're now gonna move on to a 150. Here we go. Which is a lot finer for the people that don't know. And is this our final grit? I know, we're going further, we're going further, of course we are. Yeah, I've inadvertently stuck a feature on this bowl by holding it in one place and then it burns. And it's like- Just the rich in the build, is that the heat that just burns it? Made a lovely little feature of it though, so. We'll try and do that again at the end if we ended up sandpapering that bit off. Oh, I already feel so good. Look at that, look at that grain, man. How tight it is. Lovely bit of grain. Lovely. Nice, very nice. Wow, look at that. Wow, that looks good. I think we'll do that a double. That's a nice bowl. The thing is, what I normally do is I do that, burn right at the end. Once I've sanded everything down to how I want it, I then put the burn in. The problem is because we're still moving down in grade of sandpaper. Not too early. We've done it too early, exactly. We've peaked too early, I nearly said came, but we've peaked too early. Let's just do that again. I mean, let's sand it all down the next grade. Like, there's like, maybe what, I think two more grades to go. And there we are, that's our, look at that. That's our final grain. You can see the light reflecting off it. Stunning. Right, it just needs a bit of oil rubbed into it. You don't rub that right, it's turning now. You just keep it as is. Yeah, go on then. Boil her up. Now, what do you want to use? You want to use a bit of linseed oil. It's going to be eaten out of there. You use that for cricket bats and shit. I might use that for a cat pulp. Do you want to use this sesame and honey? Linseed makes it look better, so let's go with linseed. Let's have it as an ornament. We're just going to use some raw, I assume it's raw linseed oil. Yeah. Yeah, just raw linseed oil. Boiled linseed oil. Boiled. Right, now watch this. Watch this pop. Look at that. Would you give it a double one though? Would you like dry off and then do it again? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Two or three. Because this would absorb straight into it. I'm just going to keep boiling it, yeah. Because it's a little bit warm as well, so that'll help it look a bit more porous. So that's it outside done. Let's move that out of the way. Oh, you can really see that burnt bit popping out there, that's lovely. So now we are done. And now let's take it off. It's like an award ceremony in many ways, isn't it? I've earned my, there you go, look. I've made it. I've made it in life. I've made it. There you go. But look at that beautiful grain. Beautiful grain. So tight in place. Look at that, look at this bit here. Like a little life thingy on it, that'll spill. That's great. Look at that. There you go. I've made me a bowl, I'm proud of that. Thank you, Dustin, for letting me turn my own bowl. It sort of held my hand, but after about five minutes you could tell that I was a professional and look at this. Because I didn't even know about it, but I've put a little bit of burntness around there to make it a bit of uniqueness to your bowl. Yeah, uniqueness to my bowl. So thanks for watching. I'll leave links to Dustin's YouTube shenanigans downstairs and I'll catch you soon.
