WT&S, I've learned as soon as something doesn't go as planned, put the tools down and walk away. 12 years ago working with quarters a an white oak board, me mind wondered just for a moment, to the next thing, and bang, kick back. The 12 inch wide, 1 inch thick, 9 foot long board caught my ribs and left hand. 3 ribs broken, swollen wrist for 2 months and an 8 month break from wood working. Scary as neck when I went back down to me shop. Dented duct work, some busted cabinet doors, I was lucky just the be nicked by the board. Now, I keep my mine right with what I'm doing at hand. If I start to go down stairs to the workshop, I am in a " frame of mind" to do what I want to do. If not, I don't make the trip, even if to just clean up. It's not worth what might come next. Heal up, get in " that frame of mind" go do what you set out to do safley. God Bless!

The Veritas saws will do all you ask of them. No need to “upgrade” unless you just want to.

Nice work. I’m looking forward to making some of these with my grandkids.

Great video. Well explained review.

Just came by, 3 days later, just to give you a thumbs up!

I am looking at upgrading from my 70-100 now, not sure I like Rikon's next step up because you still have belt ranges even with speed dial, I think 3 different ranges, but just starting to look, maybe they are all like that. I do like the Midi size lathes though. I have had this one for about 8 years now and ready start doing more. Thanks for the video.

The handle bracket on the headstock side is a mystery to me. They want people to lift it by this or is it for holding tools somehow if you have it hanging past the end of a bench. You can fold it down and that is all weird.

@53:02 I drove by and said hello!! lol

Whats the difference between a Midi lathe, and a Mini lathe

Nice job on them I'm relitivley new to turning but man you knocked them out would of taken me days to get something no were near as nice. Didn't notice properly are you carbide or traditional gouges?? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

As you know, I am looking for a lathe. Thanks for sharing, buddy. Bloopers are always a given, when creating content. Lol

good stuff

Thanks for the review. I know it was a while ago. Do you still use this jointer? I am new to woodworking and interested in buying one. I’m slightly concerned with the 1 hp motor and whether it is strong enough. I see another budget model Vevor has a 2hp motor about the same price.

Great video Mike. I love the new lathe! I think its great your teaching students about woodworking!

I do have a question... Which has a greater wingspan, and albatross, or a canadian goose? Actually, Penn State sells a variable speed motor, for around $150, that could make that lathe variable speed. Looks like a nice machine. Are you going to put a small layer of wax on it to make the tailstock and banjo slide easier and protect it from rusting? Rikon makes quality stuff.

I use carbide cutters almost all the time now, a lot more forgiving, you have to be quite determined to make a negative rake one to catch

I love my rikon 70-100. Its perfect for pen turning.

Cracking review i have basically the same machine here in the UK i paid £330 for mine($400 ish) looks identical in every way apart from i have yhe variable speed on mine. But the non ejecting tail stock the plastic tray holder all the rest identical apart from i only have 3 belts for different speed ratios.

Love the Bloopers they are great!!!

You gave a great reason to make GA-nomes... because it makes you laugh, & that gave me a big smile. Thanks!

This is the first video that pops up for you. Hanging things in the places matters, legit.

helpful video. I'm setting up my jig now

Very nice! I think I might try this. Just one constructive criticism, I'd bring down the music a bit in your videos... But great job

Trying to turn something with regular wood chisel is the stupidest thing I ever saw.

Never turn angry. You won't like it when you turn angry. Glad it wasn't too bad. I did see your problem tho. It was incorrectly labeled as Beech, instead of son of beech wood. :D

Never can have enough planes and backsaws so, you're good lol.

I just subscribe to you and can honestly say you my freind are most happy woodworker i have ever experienced and do great work. Thank you for being an inspiration to people ...keep it up.

I do wood crafts for shows myself but man those are not crafts those are art...awsome vid.

Too much sanding! Unsubscribe!

Those are beautiful! I love the design. They say Howard's butcher block conditioner is more food safe than the Feed n wax.

Well crap don't axe me, I don't know how to handle this. But nice Job Mikey B on filming such a difficult subject, and I don't mean the axe. :D

Great job Mike! I love how this turned out.. also , very impressed with your highly effective abuse of a drill bit !😄

Great video 🎉🎉

Brah-vough Mike! Looks lovely, and I believe it crosses something off of your resolution list. I've got a Pulaski with a broken handle that I'll mail you to try next.

Turned out beautiful. Don’t know how you saved it. Able to drill and cut out the wedge. Not too dramatic but it could have been a real pain.

Very nice, Mike! It looks great! Now, don't leave it outside anymore

nice

Great video. Glad you finally buried the hatchet on this one.

Great video Mike! I love the hatchet! Its ok you made some mistakes along the way but every project is unique!

Can’t say that I have ever seen anyone until now go through an unboxing like this guy.🙀

love the plane ! that veritas sh jig wasted so much of my time . always going off sq even if u tighten with pliers. u can get an add on part that grips the chisel / blade from the side. I got rid of mine and got the lie nielsen- designed right less knobs and weight cost more but always sq. no regrets

I assume at this point you figured out the stamped steel parts. My instructions did cover them, but it did not jump out at you. We might have different instruction versions,

just came across this site, love your excitement and enthusiasm. I just took a look at my very first segmented bowl, made in 2001. it all flooded back , what a wonderful accomplishment Congrats !!

Thanks for the video. Yes you will like the vari-grind attachment. You should use it right in the beginning because you will reduce the grinds without grinding half your tool away. It’s good for fingernail grind, bowl gouge and side or Irish grind. Vari-grind 2 is even better because it increases the ease of use. I’m surely going to enjoy sharpening my turning tools a lot more

Tyler is good buddy guy of mine We shared a dislike of a certain ggbo person and been friends since He’s a good bloke and a mad clint

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.

I know four years ago,but ouch on the regular chisel on a lathe, glad it wasn’t worse

Good job, but don't be Jay Batesing everything. :D

El Shoppo Touro....Ole.

I came here to learn about making a shooting board.
