I’ve never been to Yorkshire but I really should go. It’s a beautiful part of the country so I’ve heard. I’m really glad you are enjoying my little channel and happy it’s inspiring you 😀😀 I did make a mould and cast a gonk with it though it was definitely a difficult process 😂😂 I will link the video at the bottom 😊 Love the add on body parts idea 👍 I might do that in the future 😀😀 Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ It’s very much appreciated 👍❤️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZuppM2etKicYnk.html

@@Toonpish you are most welcome dear Wendy! Yes, Yorkishire is a gorgeous area… my family’s estate was on the easternmost boundaries… it was sold back in 2000 after my gran moved here to the states to live with my mum and dad… the man she had married, after divorcing my biological grandfather, had passed away and the only family there were his kids… so, she moved to the states to be with us… I’m glad she did but man I missed going to the UK in the summers for visits… I always came back home with a weird sort of British accent mixed in to my normal everyday speech… it drove my mum nuts… and even today if I say something like, "bloody hell" or that "bloody thing" or just "bloody," my dad will pop off, "why does it have to be "bloody"? Is it injured or something ?" lol But anyway, yes… thank you so much for doing what you do! If you ever make a gonk mold complete with Icees for the arms and legs, shield, hammer, axes etc, I better get one of them since I did give you the idea…. 🤣 🤣 🤣 I’m only joking…. Or am I? 🤔 🤔 🤔

😂😂😂😂

@@Toonpish 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much Sharon 👍

Thank you Bruce 😀😀😀 sounds adorable 😀❤️👍

Thank you so much Wayne 😀👍❤️

I thought that until I tried it 😀😀😀 took me ages to pluck up the courage then one try and I was hooked 😀😀😀💜

@@Toonpish that’s the trouble dare not try it as if I get hooked it would mean more cost and I’d need a bigger craft room which is already stuffed to the brim. lol.

😂😂😂 I totally know where you are coming from 😂😂

Thank you Sharon 😀😀😀

Thank you so much Daphne 😀👍🤗

@@Toonpish you’re very welcome 😉

Thanks Brian 😀👍

Thanks for the tip! 😀😀😀 happy holidays 👍💜

It’s in the making 😀😀😀 I’m looking forward to it 😀👍

@@Toonpish that’s great . I’m looking forward seeing it and your beautiful creation .

Thank you so much Jim 😊😀 Very kind of you indeed 👍😀

Oh sounds like you had fun Roys 😀😀 well done 👍❤️

Thank you Kim 😀 I love them too lol 👍😀

Thanks for this information Gary 😀😀 it’s always good to know what others do 😀 I like the all in one idea too 😀

Making them in 2 or 3 pieces ,unless making them from different woods is kind of fiddly

True 😀😀❤️

Thank you so much Dawn. 😀 I’m glad you like them 👍

Thank you so much Sandra 😀👍😊

Thank you so much Alison 😀😀😀👍❤️

Thank you so much Gulma 😀😀😀 Have a great weekend and happy crafting 😀👍👍

They are on their way 😀😀😀 had a couple of disasters 😂😂 but will leave them in I think so others can learn from my mistakes 🤔😀👍

Disasters happen - it's all part of the process 😉 I had loads when I first got into resin (started off beading & making jewellery) & am experiencing a few now as I've just started to play with polymer clay 😆 I love watching you turn wood, but with beads, resin & clay I think I have enough crafts on the go. 😊

Me too Peggy 😀😀😀👍❤️

Aww thank you Diane 😀😀😀 I do love a challenge 😂😂😂 you are very kind 🤗😊😀

Great turning ur Gonk to save time I turn mine all in one piece except for the nose happy turning and for turning the tenon the tenor or spicket I use a 1/4 wrench sharped on the bottom side and push it on to the spicket and it will cut perfect size to fit ur drill size

@jimbrock8928 thank you 👍😀

Thank you Kevin 😀👍❤️

Fellow gonk lover 😀😀😀 thanks Patricia 😀👍

Thank you so much Kathy 😀😀😀 Learning all the time 😀😀👍❤️

Thank you Fred 😀😀💜

I am working on moulds 😀😀 Happy crafting and thanks for watching 😀👍❤️

I am trying them out right now 😀😀😀 had a couple of disasters 😂😂 but will leave them in to help others 😂😂😂

Thank you so much Lisa 😀😀 I am in the process 😀 so watch this space 😂😂😂

lol Thanks Vivienne 😀 when we was young all we had was action man lol😂

I do do have a video up of the resin gnome 😀😀😀 but I am not a good enough mould maker to sell moulds atm 😣 I am still learning 😀😀👍

So I’ve looked for the video of the resin gnomes an for the life of me I can’t find it…lol I don’t know if I’ve over looked it or if I just didn’t go back far enough? Is it possible to post a link for it?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZuppM2etKicYnk.html I don’t think it is obvious 👍❤️

That is exactly the way I was was hun 😀😀 I ended up asking for one for my birthday 😂😂 my husband was like are you sure?? 😂😂😂 I was Definitely!! 😂😂😂😂😂

@@Toonpish Your husband is a gem! I saw a rather small lathe you could screw to a table for about £80 a few months ago but felt that would probably not be enough. I live in a flat so I don't really have room for a large one either. Earlier I wanted one to make miniatures, now I want to make bowls, eggs and gonks!

😂😂 it’s an additive hobby 😀😀 You could start small and see how it goes though 😀👍

That’s a great name and as it’s going to my grandson who is also my husband’s first grandchild then I think it’s got to be 😀😀👍❤️ That’s named him 😀 I am not an expert mould maker by any means but I do know a company that is 😀😀 I think I need to have a chat with them 😀😀 I am making a mould but it’s not economic to sell as it is so much silicone. But I can work out the price and if people want it then so be it 😀😀 Thanks so much for your comment 😀👍❤️😊

🤭🤭 thank you 😊

I know 😂😂😂 but so cute 😀😀😀 Thanks Shirley 👍

@@Toonpish can’t wait for resin one and home made mould 😉💕

Oh I’m doing my best 😂😂😂

I’m making it now so let’s see how it comes out 😀😀 I do wish silicone was cheeper 🤔😪 Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍❤️

Yes I did a couple of weeks later 😀😀💜 Thanks Ian 😀💜👍

@Toonpish Crafts I'll have a look, thanks Wendy!

😀😀

Noone has actually taught me 😂😂 I have picked up what I know from watching KZfaq and talking to other turners 🤷‍♀️😀 It’s definitely a big learning curve but I’m loving it 😀 I’m glad you do too 😀👍❤️ Thanks Laura 👍🤗

Thank you so much Funo I will check them out. Thanks for letting me know about them 😀

I LOVE Andy Phillips and the work he does… I especially love his colored pencil turned art…

@@ZippedUpKitz Andy Phillip does gorgeous work. David Adamsen did a video 2 yrs. ago called ‘Not enough corners! The way he turned that piece just seemed impossible. I don’t know how he could even see what or where he was cutting/shaving. With both of them it’s often a mystery where they’re going with a piece. I like trying to figure out what they’re making, usually I don’t know until the end.😆

Usually I don’t know know until the end 😂😂😂😂

@@funo6581 when I started on a lathe, I was going backwards… I’m a southpaw… so, I would look at something and go to recreate it and do it completely backwards! I wish I had my own lathe! I use a friend of mine's… he is an assistant scout masters in my kid's BSA troop and teaches the woodworking merit badge… he always has the kids over to his garage where all his woodworking tools are… but anyway I digress too much lol… he was trying to teach me how to make a simple Christmas tree and I was doing it in a mirror image of what he was doing cuz that is how I saw it! But, it came out! The first time I ever made was supposed to be a Christmas tree, but I ended up turning it into a little,bell complete with the little ball that knocks against the sides to make the bell ring… I did get the Christmas tree made though! lol… I want to go over to his place and try to make one of these little bonks!!!!

Thanks Steve 😀😀 and welcome to my little channel 😀😀😀 I will check out Colwin Way 👍 If only I can remember spigot and scotch brite names 😣 When you are dyslexic names of anything just elude you and they definitely won’t nothing to do with me 😂😂😂🥹 Thanks for your comment and subbing 😀😀 really appreciated

Oh they are great names 😊🤗😀👍 Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏

Does sound good 🤔🧐 it’s a contender 😀😀 Thanks Steve 👍❤️

I don't have anything to compare to as its my first lathe. But I am very happy with it 😀 and the after care seems great. 👍

@@Toonpish yea i got one there a short while ago i think they are a great wee lathe. Thanks for messaging back

Oh very cleaver 😂😂😂 That took me a while 😀😀👏👍

@@Toonpish I couldn't resist lol x

Angela I hear you and hopefully someone on here from Australian might know. As I’m in the UK I have no idea. But your question is out there now so someone might have the answer. Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it 😀👍

@@Toonpish awww thank you very much,, its realy funny really something such a little thing can be difficult just finding the mame. Name of it. Thankyou 💐

@@Tiger804 The name for a German gnome is zwerge…. Or so it’s says when I googled it 😉. Not sure if that could be the name of your childhood gnome….

@@kellyjean4981 it wasn't a gnome at all, but was like a mascote of some kind and if I remember it was green with mabey bits of blue in it ,and was like plush or fur fabric and was native to Australia. And considered very lucky.

Again 😂😂

That does sound very cool 😀😀 Thank you so much 😊

You can but getting it clean sanded and looking straight is a lot harder and I’m definitely a novice 😀😀💜

lololol. no Idea but it would be fitting lol Thanks Lisa 😀

😂😂😂😂😂 Really??? Are you sure?? 😂😂😂 Happy crafting Virginia 😂😀👍

Buy a lathe, buy a lathe! 😂

@@tfturning 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂 well I’m glad it’s not just me that does things like that 😂😂

@@Toonpish yeah, I need to pay more attention to things like that… LOL… it could really get me into trouble otherwise!
