I really like your square chisel. I've made some of own, but I like the way it cuts ... not like the standard ones I see.
Yes it's very versatile and easy to use!!! You can use it as a parting tool or as a forming tool touching only the tip of it!!!👍👌🙂
Nice work, thanks for sharing. I’m a beginner turner, lot of practicing for me. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you Allen!!!!
Keep practicing!!! It's very satisfying when you can do anything that you imagine with your hand tools!!!👍🙂
Nice work 👌
Thank you very much!!!🙂
Wow! Beautiful!! Has this guy got Christmas wrapped up! LOL This has always been a part of arts and crafts I wanted to learn. Now I'd probably lop off a finger or two. So mesmerizing... Of course, having this at high speed dosn't hurt either. Thanks for sharing! Stay warm!!
Thank you very much!!! Yes.... Woodturning is an amazing art which is easy to learn but very difficult to master!!!
Go for it!!!!!👌🙂
That’s great outstanding
Thank you very much 🙏😊🙏

Ótimo trabalho.parabens.,🇧🇷🫡✌️
Muito obrigado meu amigo!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙂
Тор👌
Thank you Petro!!!👍🙂
Excellent work. I sold my large Jet lathe years ago because I had enough bowls, vases etc to last a life time. I’ve just a small 350 second hand - and, boy, have I lost any technique I ever had! I hope that practice will make adequate.
I would like to understand what tools you were using and switching to - and why. That would help us tremendously
Thank you very much!!! I bet that your technique is still inside you... you just need to get it out!!!👌🙂
I use the minimum of tools but I believe that anyone can do it with the tools that he likes to use!
I start with a roughing gouge and all other work is done with a custom tool that inherited from my father which is a straight square like parting tool but with the bevel just on one side -
It's very easy to use with great results - and last i use a small detail gouge just for the curvy top and bottom of the Christmas tree!!
I hope i am helpful!!!
Thanks for watching!!!!✌️🙂
@@MichaelBechlivanis I think the tool you're using might be called a "bedan". When I googled, I saw tools that look a lot like the one you used.
Watching you use it so effectively made me VERY interested to investigate further.
@@shaunhayward YES!!!!😁 You are so right! I just googled it and I can confirm!!! I didn't know that it existed in any brand!! Thank you for this !!!🌲🌲🌲
I love the finish on this, but how do you know that the number of sanded indents are going to be evenly spaced around the tree?
After making a couple of same sized trees.... you get the touch of it!!!😁👍
Very nice, I am new turner what kind of tool used in shaping? Thank you. And Merry Christmas
Thanks David! Anyone can do it with the tools that he prefers ...i am using a straight square hss tool -like a parting tool but with the bevel only in one side- that I make on my own...i have never seen any brand selling something like that!!!👍🙂
Is that a self made chisel? Never seen one like it that I’m aware of.
Yes this particular tool is self made... but there are commercially produced... search for "Bedan lathe tool" 🙂!!!
what size piece of wood do you start with?
It depends on the size of the tree that I want to make!!! 20 cm approximately is a the medium size!😊🙏😊
If you put a bit of green coloring on them couldn't we still see any of the woods grain. Otherwise these are awesome
I guess you could...if you just use not much colour!!!🙏🙂🙏
Perhaps I should know, but don't ... What species of wood are you turning ?
Don't worry Annie... it's beech but i use a coloured varnish at the end to make it look brownish!!!🙂🙏
What is that tool called?
To be honest i don't know the English word of this tool because i have never seen anyone sell it or use it the way i use it although older turners here in Greece used it a lot!!!!
It's a straight like parting tool but the bevel is just from one side of it!
I hope that helps!!!🙂👍
Please could you tell me the dimensions of the tree. Thank you.
I usually make three of them like a set with the big one at 21cm the second 20 cm and the third around 19cm!🙂👍
@@MichaelBechlivanis thank you.
Way too fast
Am i fast???🙂
