Several folks asked about the size holes. 7/8" for the 2" blank.
I made a whole load of these for family and friends last Christmas, very popular. I fitted a mirror made from thin mirrored acyrlic, cheap and easy
Nice upgrade idea!
Thanks for the "Clarification" & tips video. Super job on this one and the overhead now answered my questions from your first video....THANKS!!
Glad it was helpful!
Cool project, between your ideas and Tomislav I am going to be busy!. I noticed Tomislav on his monthly project did 2 colours and then sanded back, that may be something that would work well on the textures.
painting them white or silver inside will add a nice reflective surface without adding to the weight or expense
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
After making half a dozen of these I find it is easier to make all the outside design BEFORE I drill out the middle. I can keep tail stock support, and this leaves only the final fit for the tea light that has a potential for some vibration. Then I can finish the top and copula. I have been turning the piece around and using my extended pen jaws for some techniques. My wife suggested adding a piece of clear acrylic on the inside to serve as a lens. This also adds some different options as this is available in a multitude of colors.
"Ask 10 woodturners and you will get 11 answers!"
very true....
Appreciate the follow-up video. Those reactive metal paints look like they really enhance the effect.
Yes they do
Thanks!
Thanks for your support, James!
Magique la lanterne.Du plus bel effet.👍
Merci!
Great video Mike! You do great videos. I'll have to work on catching up on them. Since I subscribe I get notice everytime you publish one. I've not kept up with you the past yr or more, as I've been gone dealing with health issues, and a passing in the family. But, getting back to my woodworking again now. Keep it coming! 👍👍
Thanks for the inspiration. I have several of these turned now, using some 2" square maple from a roadside find. I've been using 1" holes, but that takes careful layout.
That is awesome! I find 7/8" to work well for me.
Great job on the update Mike. I haven’t gone down the colouring rabbit hole “Yet” but may try some in the spring.
Go for it!
The extra detail is much appreciated. Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate the follow up. I like the embellishment tips. Very good.
Glad it was helpful!
Another great job Mike!!!! Thanks!!
You bet!
This is a fun and different project. Thanks for sharing. They would make good night lights too.
Great idea!
Very nice, Mike! That's a very creative project! Also, nice tips on the choice of paints.
Thanks a bunch!
Great follow-up video with great tips! Thanks Mike
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great project and video.. Just started making them, new addiction. Thank you.
They are addicting.
Thanks for the update Mike. I will definitely make some of these.
Have fun!
Fine job sir!
Thanks M.Peace for all the fabulous video you give us❤ andré dupuis terrebonne que ça.
Merci
Very nice Great Information thanks
Having made my first one with slightly undersized stock I found that I can hold the square stock in the chuck jaws and then part turn , I then add the mark out lines and as the stock still has flats its very easy to do the holes etc. The big mistake I make was not leaving enough wood to hold in the chuck for the top so had to hold from the turned base with a cork on my tailstock to support while I finished the top off. But great project and I know there will be a bunch more done before Christmas.
We learn something with each project, don't we?
Nice to see your addiction progress. Liked seeing all your coloring techniques. Motivates me to want to try something different as well. Colored epoxy comes to mind.I will see what I can do. Thanks again for your videos.
Go for it!
Thanks Mike.😊 good information. I'm maki g some soon.
Have fun!
Good info Mike , thanks for sharing
Take care my friend
Cheers
Harold
Thanks 👍
Nice work dude 👍👍
Thanks ✌
Mike,
I’ve turned a couple of the lanterns and they are fun! Thanks for the video. How much do you suggest to sell for?
Thanks KB
Depends. I would ask for $35- $40 around here.
Ok. That’s great to know!
Thanks again. KB
Nice work as usual Mike.. if you would, I’d appreciate the overall top to bottom dimensions. Thank you
1 7/8 x 3 3/8"
pretty lanterns, will you have a hand out for them on your website?
No
Mike, where and how do you sign your lanterns. I’ve been asked recipients of the ornaments to put a makers mark on my creations.
Good question I never stopped to think about on this project. I have always found a place to add name or at least initials (for example on the inside wall of an acorn box). I suppose I would put the date and initials on the bottom rim. I have a very fine tip pyrography pen but an archival ink pen would do well. I guess I may need to sand off some finish off the bottom and do that now. I was having so much fun turning I never gave it a thought which is unusual.
what kind of wood are you making those out of ? What is a good lathe for a beginner?
Most any dry hardwood. Watch this video re: lathe selection. czcams.com/video/s0YDgte_C7Q/video.html Lots of great lathes out there with quality and capacity and budget considerations. Good lathes are often available used. Join a club as many bargains are by word of mouth.
