Kevin is so lucky he gets to apprentice with Tom on so many projects.

I wish Tom was my uncle or neighbor I would hang out with him all the time

I remember Norm doing all the woodworking in the past with all the regular carpentry and such that Mr. Silva does I find it really special to see him enjoy woodworking projects just as it seems he does his regular work.

why would this or any this old house segment get a thumbs down? these guys are the best! I’ve been a fan since the very beginning and what better way to spend an hour on the weekend, then to watch these guys.

Love this old house, i just love working with my hands and fixing or making things. I know very little about everything TOH does professionally but going into home stores excites me

Never wear ties or loose clothing around a lathe. Learned that from Tool Time.

Tom saying the first time he used a lathe was “in high school, 15 or 16” my brain filled in “years ago” instead of “years old”

Did Tommy laugh after Kevin said how easy sanding was? Or was that Kevin's nervous laugh?

“Not much of a lathe guy” ... builds amazing bowl!

@Mixwell1983 3 жыл бұрын

I made a shallow change bowl in 8th grade woodshop on a lathe.. I remember carving a shallow groove on the side and using a coat hanger attached to 2 blocks (like a garrote) to burn into the groove for design. I wonder if my jr high offers woodshop, I am surprised they let us use band saw, routers, jigsaws etc as like 13-14 year olds. This was back in 96-97

People give Kevin a lot of flack, but he is the intermediary for us, the viewers. He asks the questions we would ask and actually tries new skills.

Can you create a video showing how to create a wooden picture frame? Please include how to find and cut the glass for it

@Mixwell1983 3 жыл бұрын

Just go on youtube and lookup "how to build a wooden picture frame"

LOL at Kevin's face @ 8:13. With a bit more practice, he'll learn to relax and breath. Gotta love the focus face, though.

This is single handedly the most dangerous project I've seen on TOH. Imagine a run of the mill homeowner who has trouble using a wrench do this....

@I’m no expert, but this is how I do it Umm... Have you ever been to high school?

@sorrygunsathome 3 жыл бұрын

I work with metal lathes and milling machines, i dont really consider wood lathes to be that dangerous in comparison since they are made to be smooth cause they know that you will be using your hands and not a carbide on a tool post

@Mixwell1983 3 жыл бұрын

We all did fine in 8th grade woodshop using a lathe in 1996 and we were far from pros... I also wouldnt think a run of the mill homeowner would own a lathe and if they did they would probably be somewhat informed about using a lathe.

Good afternoon, I'm in need of help. I have a wardrobe that I would like to turn into an entertainment center, my problem is it has Soss hinges but i would like to use an Accuride system or something like it, so the doors will slide into the cabinet . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hmm I seem to remember no long sleeves or accessories allowed when using a lathe, first thing you learn lol

@Wroom90 4 жыл бұрын

Dang it. Good observation. I was told the same, or to cover the sleeves with wearing a thick leather-glove to cover the sleeve. The most important thing with lathes tho I think would be to not wear clothing that doesn't tear easily. Most horror-stories evolving lathe-accidents in this category is when people wear clothing made out of strong textiles.
