I built a lathe from random bits of wood and a cheap power drill. Just to clarify in case it wasn't clear, I am a complete beginner with using a lathe. #woodworking #woodturning #lathe PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard

Huge Wood Haul & Coffee By The Fire
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 3 měsíci
As winter starts coming to an end, collecting firewood becomes an essential task for those who rely on wood-burning stoves or fireplaces for warmth. The process involves selecting the right type of wood, which should be dry and seasoned to ensure it burns efficiently and safely. Hardwoods like birch are preferred for their long burn times and high heat output. It’s important to gather wood earl...
Building A Simple Shave Horse / Tools Of The Past
zhlédnutí 945Před 4 měsíci
A shave horse is a traditional woodworking tool that combines a vice and a workbench. It's primarily used for green woodworking tasks such as shaping chair legs or preparing wood for a pole lathe. The user operates the shave horse by sitting astride it and using a foot-operated clamp to secure the workpiece, allowing both hands to be free for tools like drawknives or spokeshaves. This setup pro...
Coppicing, Homemade Tools & Trading Time For Heat
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 4 měsíci
Hello all! Welcome back. If this video we head out on the snowmobile in search of some firewood. It's only small trees I'm collecting here but as we don't own our own forest yet I have to take what I can get! These trees overhang into the field which causes the tractors problems in the summer so will be cut down anyway. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #firewood #win...
A £30 Inspection Camera... Any Good?
zhlédnutí 657Před 4 měsíci
Bit of a random one today for you. I treated myself to an inspection camera which is something I've wanted for many years but never bothered as they were so expensive. I spotted this one for around £30 and thought it was worth a bash. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #inspection #camera #workshop
I Made A Huge Mistake...

Well what can I say? You live and you learn I guess. Do your research! In this video I discuss how I managed to break my new snow blower and probably damage my vintage Nuffield universal tractor in the process by using the wrong type of pto shaft.

Broken Husqvarna Chainsaw Left For Years. Can I Fix It?
zhlédnutí 954Před 5 měsíci
I was very kindly gifted an old Husqvarna 350 chainsaw recently that had been sitting broken in a garage for many years. The previous owner thought I would have some fun getting it running again so sent it over from England. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #husqvarna #chainsaw #willitrun
Organize Your Toolbox With Trash?

Welcome back all! In this video you join me in the workshop where I show you a simple but very effective toolbox organization solution made from foam that most people would throw away. At the end I also discuss wood carving and show my attempt at making a "kuksa", a traditional Nordic coffee cup made from birch wood.

Wow, you have things going on! 😀 It really is looking like a homestead now.
Brilliant this Mate…hopefully there will be more videos on the cabin 👌🏻💪🏻🤞🏻
3:00 mars rover has finally found life, as primitive as it may be 🤣
Looks good! Maybe invest in a more sturdy ladder😮 I keep worrying you would fall! 🤦♀️ old lady problems! 😂🤣
High summer in northern Sweden...enjoy it while it lasts.
Cinematography on point as always 👌
Brilliant bit of work Ash. Nice one 👍
That turned out truly excellent with no real plan and odds and sods. You now have your own holodeck, being whatever you want it to be and videos made inside it, with the out of town feel. It should take on a nice wooden odour too, making a joy of a place to unwind.
An awesome man cave ! Well done, absolutely brilliant!!! A worthy successor to am-bol- east !!!!
Oh ive always wanted a log cabin in the woods. ❤
Is it a bolt hole for you ash if you upset marie !!!! lol
Good job Ash That’ll be a great spot in the winter with the stove going maybe an old gas bottle stove like your Iveco van
good vid on channel nice build will nice ad of a build to the home stay thanks lee
The swedes makes soMe awesome axes. They last a lifetime 👍🏻
Where do u buy 30 watt solar panel for 30$?
This is not a restoration 😂rather a good clean
What's the difference?🤷♂
Brilliant that will become a well used machine as you develop it, and your skills, it's only downfall, it makes an awful mess! 👍
That's proper good young fella, ĺove your resourcefulness. Very inspirational...
Thanks 😊👍 Seems to be holding up well so far!
Brilliant! You could add a lock nut on the tail stock as a minor addition.
Yea that's not a bad shout 👍
Brilliant Ash - love the speed controller ha ha! Thanks for sharing, Ringo
Keeping it simple 😄 Cheers 👍
Well done Ash I have done things like that Cheap Lidl work mate with a bit of ply on to and a circular saw and router screwed under I like your style
I'm not afraid to try anything haha 😄
nice.
Great mygyver lathe
Cheers 👍
That wobbly wood needs a hole and peg in it haha
I thought that but then it wouldn't be adjustable. Think I will some some kind of slider with a screw to clamp it in place
Your so resourceful 😊
One of my least favorite things to do in life is spend money on things I could make myself😄
Way better to build one than buy one. A lot of the things you buy these days just break anyway. SO at least this way you can feel proud of it and fit it as and when it needs fixing. Good job!
They are relatively cheap to buy but even so, it's just more fun building stuff 😄
good vid on your lave you built thanks keep up the good vids on channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee👍
by far the best lathe video i've ever seen
Hopefully i can make some cool stuff with it in the future 😊👍
You're an incredibly talented person Ash. You come across a problem and find a solution. Love the homemade stuff. Thats engenuity
I do enjoy a challenge 😊 Even better when you can make something from scraps! Cheers👍
Absolutely marvellous creation with things that you already have. I like watching wood turning videos and the things made from logs. Good video and nice to see that you dressed for the occasion, like a woodsman.
Cheers! It's definitely a skill I want to try and get better at 😊
Cheers,, 🍻😎👍
So nice to see your friend using the sawmill. Looking forward to seeing some more sawing with the Bamsesåg 🤩
Sexy boy
I made it 1k likes 😁
As always a great video , your innovation shows no limits ! Thanks again for sharing!
If I remember correctly hydraulic fluid guns up around minus 10 I'm pretty sure we used to add atf when we were trawling to stop gumming up but was a good few years ago .Will get back to you bud

Good job Ash you made it look so easy good measuring makes for a good job. Not one of my strong points so appreciate seeing a job done right. Oh and that tune brings back memories of your earlier days😊
Marie you couldn't resist 😂😂 great bit of kit Ash could do with that to check my drains companies charge that much. Is it waterproof?
Snow in June that's crazy
This was a couple months ago. 😊
@ash.pollard oh okay then I see
good vid on channel keep up the good vid thanks lee
Forgive me because i know nothing about tractors or hydralics. Could it be an issue with bleeding after the oil change ? Still living the dream buddy - keep it up! Ringo
P r o m o s m
what holds the handle to the tang? there's no pommel, nothing
There's a small metal spring clip in the end of the handle which the tang slides into. Works very well, they are all like this 😊
Another way is to drill stand pipe into plastic jerry can an swap ot over with another full drumm when empty. Just an thought. Thats some pretty clear diesel you have over there lol. Take it heating oil or kerosene is too expensive in sweden to run on
So calmly spoken
Brilliant one Ash, love the sound of the axe slicing though the wood. Fabulous combination. That light one is amazing, so easy to swing. Definitely makes life easier. Great video Bud. Take Care 👍
Nice video, thank you.
The light splitting axe is perfect to handle with one hand, much more control also
Loving the kit! A video on how you sharpen them would be awesome as I can just never seem to get it right.
