Wood Turning

small round vase

This is a copy of a similar vase Carl made and showed the video on YouTube. This is my 3rd or 4th project I made since buying my lathe in December ’13. I had an old piece of curly maple in my shop and thought it would be perfect for something like this. Two coats of tung oil helped develop a nice shine.
Still developing my skills and have lots more to learn so I’ll keep watching!! Carl thanks for all your help!!!

Gearshift Knob

Just watched you video on making a gearshift knob. My son and I made one for his truck, which is a standard. We made it in two pieces. One is like a base piece that we threaded and screwed onto the shifter shaft, that also had a pocket for a locking nut. Then we made a cap that included the brass parts of some .410 shotgun shells that he shot some stuff with. The we used CA glue to secure the cap that holds the shells. We made it all out of the same piece and made sure we matched the grain. Surprisingly, it actually feels better than the factory knob and makes the truck easier to shift. He goes to a small 1A Texas school and all the guys there drive trucks, and his is the coolest with the ONLY handmade 6 shooter shifter knob. I’ll send more pics on how we made it if you’d like to see that. Oh, and I really enjoy watching your videos. I started with stumbling across your paint chip videos and I’ve gone back and watched everyone, and I keep a look out all the time for more.

Sea Urchin Mushroom

Went to the local shell store to pick up a few sea biscuit shells you used for the mushrooms, also found these sea urchin shells which come in a variety of colors. Note these are very thin and fragile shells.

Also a note of thanks, I’m a newbie been tuning about a year and have learned a lot from your videos. Just moved up from a Harbor Freight bench top special to a Nova 1624, this was the first project on the new lathe.
