Yep, that's right, I cut my finger on the bandsaw, luckily it was very minor. Just a reminder to me not to rush, and to think before I do things.
Today's project is a cookie/biscuit pot. I had to save this piece of Ash when we were cutting the firewood last year, the markings are so striking! The body of the piece has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with Danish Oil, Sanding sealer, and wood wax, the inside has been finished with a food-safe oil so my biscuits are safe 😉. The lid is made from Hard Maple and the handle is Snakewood (a first time turning on the channel!). Both parts of the lid were sanded to 10000 grit and finished with Danish oil, Sanding sealer and wood wax.
The piece is approximately 23 x 12cm
Let me know what you think about this piece! It is available on my website link below.

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

Mistakes and slip ups happen, which is why the safety measures exist. You probably saved a finger by having your hands relatively clear of the blade before the slip. Glad that you're okay, hearing/seeing the amount of force applied to cut that wood was worrying, but anyone who works with tools knows the desire to just finish a bandsaw job.

Hi Harry... I'd like to make a suggestion to you. If you're going to use a bandsaw for wood, Look into a different blade. The blade you're using looks like a metal or "fine finish". For doing what you're doing, you need a 3TPI type blade. Maybe look into a 1/2 inch 3TPI blade skip tooth blade. This will make your job much easier and more safe.

I love all the pieces you make they are all unique including this cookie jar, the lid is lovely with nice grain and the know on the lid to open it is lovely wood the colour is magnificent and the grain is nice.

@fretless05 Жыл бұрын

It's easy to get complacent and make careless mistakes. I'm glad it was minor and the lesson wasn't learned at greater cost! The grain on that wood is simple brilliant! It would have been a shame to burn that, for sure. Just curious, was the choice to use a different wood for the lid a design choice or were the pieces you cut off to round and shape the stump on the bandsaw not large enough to make a lid?

@outinthesticks1035 Жыл бұрын

I'm not much of a turner yet , but I've learned to spot nice grain from a long way back , and even just in the thumbnail that looked interesting and had to watch to see the results . Edit , very nice chatoyance. Did you have any more of this firewood, enough to make the plug out of sidegrain , and the lid with the same wood ?

@chrisstewart8259 11 ай бұрын

The blade is too fine and that makes you push the wood harder to try & make it cut faster. In turn, that makes you continue to keep that hard pushing going until right near the end of the cut. In turn, that makes your hand fly forward toward the blade when the blade breaks through at the end. Your hand then goes fwd onto the blade. I've done it myself but luckily still have all my digits. ALWAYS back off on the pushing near the end. The blade will cut through just as quick.
