In this video, I demonstrate the step-by-step process of carving a barley twist on a lathe. This video covers how to carve three different styles of Barley Twist. This traditional woodworking technique requires skill and precision, but with practice and patience, you too can create a beautiful and unique piece.

I just made a unicorn wand using a tapered barley twist... allllll by hand. I like the idea of using a saw to put the twist into the wood first. 😊 I may need to do that

Nice! It’s important to know how to do it by hand. Especially when most things these days are routed or CNC’d.

Man I must say I have gouge envy. I am all about high speed steel over the carbide and I can free hand sharpen almost as fast as a person can change a carbide. You know if you are just maintaining a good edge opposed to grinding a new edge. That gouge is a beast! Pretty cool way of turning.

@JShawFurniture 8 ай бұрын

Yea, the 2” roughing gouge is a monster. It’s fast and makes it easier to control where the shavings go.

@samuelsmith5773 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I’ve only done a few hollow barley twists. I lay it out as you did. Drew a dark, center line between two, lighter lines. Then use a drill bit smaller than the distance between the light lines to drill consecutive holes ½+ depth past the center point. Where holes overlap, the wood interior disappears. Then just a rasp to start evening up the light lines. Then sandpaper grits to fine-tune the line....using sandpaper on the backside of the wrap to ease the surface. For tables, you must make two, left-, and two, right-twisting twists so not all four legs turn the same direction. Your way is great if you have super-sharp chisels to make the cuts. Most of my time doing this was in the craft center at Army posts: we were lucky to have a lathe, let alone chisels with sharp cutting edges! Excellent video. Thnx! Tchuss!!

@JShawFurniture 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Sam. Yeah, the chisel does need to be sharp! I’m currently carving a mahogany Pepper Mill with 4 Twists and 1” thick wall. Half way there and I’ve already had to sharpen twice and keep a strop close by. The drilling out method is a good one too.

Any reason why you use a drill instead of a jacobs chuck?

@JShawFurniture 3 жыл бұрын

Good question, there are a few reasons. If using a chuck there would need to be a short tenon at the end to hold the piece of pine. It also gets in the way when sawing and carving the flutes.

What’s the Smallest stock you can use? I’ve got some 19mm hardwood stock. I was wondering if that is too small?

@JShawFurniture 3 жыл бұрын

19mm is cutting it close but should be fine for a standard twist.

@MrTrickydick33 3 жыл бұрын

@@JShawFurniture I was also wondering how you could Truro square stock into a wand? Like dumbledores wand lol!! I have table saws and band saws and pillar drills, routers, trimmers, and a host of tools and other machines I failed to mention, but they are in storage what with the VIRUS!!! So I’ve bought a dremel and whole host of attachments, I’m thinking with patience I can gradually grind away the bits I don’t want and leave a finished wand! Is this way too complex for my first try at this?

@JShawFurniture 3 жыл бұрын

@@MrTrickydick33 A lathe would make the job much easier. The tricky part will be rounding it but if you have a spokeshave, block plane or chisel you should be fine. Carving the barley twist with a dremel will work well especially with a good carving bit. Make sure to layout the grid first to see what it will look like.

This vid was in my list because I do woodworking. I gotta say I cringed at that chisel work where your hand was in front of the iron. I've got a nice scar from when I was dumber. That said, great video.

@jesseshaw2569 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Ron. It may look a little dangerous because it’s sped up but I’m not pushing the chisel toward the wood. The cut comes from rotating the wood into the chisel which is planted firmly on the toolrest. My thumb holds the chisel down at all times so it can’t go anywhere.

@vinceearl4240 3 жыл бұрын

I have the indexing plate on my lathe, which makes layout much easier. But if I didn't, would turning the tapered twist work if you turned to a cylinder, put in the twist, and then turned the taper in, going back to deepen the flutes where needed?

@@8360365 Thanks for your condescension! I found it so super helpful. The specific suggestions your comment contained were exactly what I was looking for. I don't know what I'd have done without the insight that provided. To answer your question, because in my mind the method I was asking about seemed simpler, and I was wondering if there was a reason I wasn't seeing why my method *wasn't* simpler. Maybe in the future make constructive comments instead of implying that other people are stupid.
