Fun little back to school woodturning project, pencil pot made out of some beautiful black cherry.

I used my traditional HSS tools to work the outside of the pot and carbide cutters to hollow the inside. The spindle blank was 3x3x4 rough sawn and kiln dried. These seem like they would be great little sellers at local craft shows, especially if I can increase my turning times more. I friction burned a few lines in as decoration with a wire burner. BLO or boiled linseed oil was used as a sanding sealer. I used my homemade abrasive paste for the final finish.

Enjoyed your video. As much as I love watching talented people, sometimes you can get somewhat discouraged by seeing experts craft perfectly every time, so your honest struggles are a bit of light relief!

Thanks bud. Yeah that's kind of what my aim is. There's a thousand turning channels from amazing turners with perfectly edited videos. I'm just a guy teaching myself to turn and yall are welcome to follow me on my journey. I hope my videos will help newer turners to not get discouraged and stick with it because they're not the only ones out there having a few hiccups too.

Nice job! Stay with it. Practice makes almost perfect. One tip I'll give you . when your cutting the grooves for the burn lines lower your handle a little more. Keep at it! Your doing great!

Thanks bud I really appreciate it! The skew seems fun and I really need to practice with it more. I need to start doing alot of crafty stuff like you do and learn that thing lol!

@@DACATimberworksWoodturning With the skew just remember to always keep the bevel on the wood.

I’m at about the same level with using a skew. I found Richard Raffan’s video really helpful. He uses a right hand grip in both directions instead of trying to switch to left.

Yeah, I almost need to bring a laptop out to the shop. My problem is I'll watch a video at work or whatever and not retain enough of it when I get to the lathe. Richard and Tomislav are both great to watch and I have learned much from both of them. Thanks for the recommendation Bud.
