Those ribbed nails are the worst! I 'attempted' to break apart a pallet with those nails using a pallet breaker just like yours over the weekend. All I managed to do was pull the nails through the pallet boards causing massive tear-out on the back of the boards and splitting most of them. The nails just stayed put in the stretchers. If the nails aren't ribbed, the breaker works a treat. Those ribbed nails hang on so hard that I couldn't even extract them from the stretchers afterward without the heads pulling off the nails. I even tried to extract them with proper pincer-type nail pullers only to have the nails actually break off from the tensile force applied before they would let go of the timber!

Shit, or bollocks for my English friends. I was hoping that I could use a diamond stone or a whetstone to sharpen these like I sharpen my razor sharp chisels and kitchen knives as a grinder costs two months worth of mortgage. The cheapest, good, grinder in America is a Baldor, which is $2,000+. Update! I found that if I put my belt sander in a bench vise this works perfectly! All I needed was a magnetic angle finder that I mounted on my gouges to ensure I was at the proper angle. Awesome.

Glad you have found something that works for you 👍😁 I picked up the grinder in the video for £15 or roughly £18 from gumtree (i think it's called Craig's list in the USA) it's worth keeping an eye out for second hand stuff as it can safe you a bunch of money 👍 I hope you have a great day 😁

after 4 yrs wold you every go carbide tools
@thewelshwoodman6494 ай бұрын
Thanks for your question it's a great one, I think carbide tools have their place for certain tasks and situations. I only tend to use them when I'm creating the inside of hollow forms. I love using traditional tools and the challenge of developing the skills to use them proficiently, it's certainly a big learning curve and it's far easier to learn to use traditional tools with a tutor or some professional lessons but once mastered they can be far quicker to use than carbide tools and give you a nicer finish. But ultimately use whatever you feel more confident with and you feel is safest to use. if the piece is sanded and finished well the end user would find it hard to tell what tool has been used to turn it. I think this would be a good video topic in the future 😁 I hope you have lots of fun turning 👍

Thanks for your comment I really appreciate it 😁 commercial sharpening jigs/ brands I have used and I would recommend, would be the wolverine system by one-way, the woodcut sharpening system, Tormek and sorby pro edge. There are lots of off brand versions of these systems also available. If you are in the UK Simon Hope -Hope tools has some brilliant grinders and sharpening jigs available. I think this topic would be a great video to explore in the future, going through the pros and cons of each system 👍 thanks for the idea 💡

It’s all a matter of taste, I suppose. I’m pleased that you sell well, but my own experience is that people didn’t really go for that shape - ergonomically not very comfortable, they tell me. Slimlines are a bit of a problem I think, in that by their nature there’s not a lot of real estate for showing off interesting figuring, so exaggerated shapes can be tempting. Just my four penn’rth! All the best!

@thewelshwoodman6495 ай бұрын
Thanks Michael, as wood is porous the sanding sealer helps fill some of the porous areas like the end grain cells of the wood, after it has set and been sanded back this provides a better surface to apply certain finishes as they do not absorb as much into the cells of the wood which will give you a more even looking finish across the side grain and end grain when light is refracted off the piece 👍I hope that makes sense and is helpful for you 😁

Hi TWW - I've just retired and starting a woodwork hobby. Got a lathe now as well and today got a load of pen turning stuff from a friend whos BIL passed away. So now I've just been binge watching pen making videos. Yours is so simple and easy to follow - thank you. What sort of price do you sell on markets for? I know different woods are different prices but in general pricing I need. I havce a load of skinny and bigger blanks as well as a pile of pen sets. We have a local monthly market and is massive with a huge footfall. I used to make South African biltong and sausage etc and did really well. Now I've done a few with kitchen boards etc and will go into the pens along with other stuff turned and general wood things. .

Thank you so much for your comment Gavin, I'm glad to hear you have taken up woodturning as a hobby.

Best off luck at your markets I hope they sell well.

@@michaelwillson6847 with wormwood screws you predrill a hole in the blank normally in the part that will be hollowed out/turned away in the bowl. The hole size will be determined by the size of the wormwood screws (normally the diameter on the inside of the threads) and the depth of the screw. Normally they fit in the chuck then you lock the headstock and rotate the piece on with the lathe off, the blank should be touching the face of the jaws for a strong hold.
