Hi there...

@AndysCornishCreations Hello I have really enjoyed your videos and will be watching more in the future
Good idea. My wife like little piggies, particularly flying ones. I think I may breed her a little passel of flying pigs. (Had to look up a group of pigs.). Figure out something for the wings. Maybe some lighter colored leather for the wings.
Hi Rob...
Thank you very much...
Its funny how so many people seem to love little Piggies...
I had never heard of a passel of pigs either...
I hope that you have fun making your flying Piggies...
Perhaps goggles and a white scarf. Haha...

Another great and simple little project Mr P. I can't wait to get back into woodturning, this'll be one of the first.
Hi Andrew...
Thank you very much...
I hope that you can get back into woodturning soon...
This project would be ideal to get back into the swing of things and is great fun...
People do seem to love Piggies and this is by far my most popular video...

Love the project Andy, when I worked on a farm I used to take my wife to see the new litters of piglets, she loves them .So, now inspired by your video I will make one for her .
Cheers and take care Bram

Thank you...
There are a lot of pig lovers and collectors out there...

This is the first project I turned. You make it easy for a beginner to learn. Thank you.
Hi John...
That's fantastic !!!
It really does give me such great pleasure to think that someone has started woodturning and that their 1st project is one of my little Piggies...
I hope that it went well but the main thing is that you enjoyed making it...
My 1st attempts at woodturning were really not very good and it does take time to develop the skills, confidence and knowledge needed...
I hope that you continue to enjoy what I think is a great hobby...
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any advice...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Another great idea. We both got a good chuckle at the finished piggy!

A great idea for someone like me who is just learning. Budget is tight so I’m turning mostly firewood, a lot of red oak. Some of it does have a slight red/pink/brown and all has some spalting that would only add to the piggy. The bark on the red oak is thicker and I don’t think it would stay on though. Thanks for the video, an everyturners item, not an intricate project which would take a limited shop and time guy like me too long to prep and turn.
Hi Kevin...
I'm glad that you liked it and found it useful...
It's difficult when you are starting in this hobby as there are so many things that you would like to have but when your budget is tight you have to pick them carefully...
Saving money on not buying timber is a great way of getting the other stuff quicker...
I have seen these Piggies done without bark on so don't be afraid to experiment...
I also have limited shop time and do try to keep my projects simple, quick and inexpensive...
I hope that you continue to enjoy your new hobby...
Take care...All the best.....Andy

FYI, 70% rubbing alcohol removes Sharpie really well when you slip. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it would remove that part of your finish. Acrylic craft paint might work for the bottom of the noses. You can cut to the inside of the line of the ears and no sharpie will show. I think that’s such a cute project!
Hi Kitterz...
I'm glad that you liked it... it was fun to make...
Good tip with the rubbing alcohol... I didn't know that...
And the tip on cutting to the inside of the line ... why didn't I think of that... Haha
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy! Lovely little piggy 🐷 and well solved with all the different body parts 👍🏻 I first thought you might carve a curly tail type of thing into the bottom, just to give the illusion of a tail and to prevent it from being torn out and swallowed if it’s being played with… You see, in my mind I already picture Rexli play with « Andy’s Animal Farm » 🐷🐑🐔 A wooden barn with lots of animals is just the greatest thing for the little ones to play with, so he will love it, I am sure 😊 For the piggy, you could easily make a couple of smaller ones, like piglets, and if you make the hind legs shorter, it would create the illusion of the pig sitting… I think I would love to play with your animal farm myself, if I come to think of it, ha ha 😂 Anyway, lovely idea, and as usual you give prove of your great eye for shapes and proportions 👍🏻👍🏻 I thought at the end, you would offer a small audio « oink oink » but this will have to wait for next time, I suppose 😉 I am being cheeky, please forgive me, but I will tell you that I made the « oink oink » sound myself when you played with it in front of the camera and had a good laugh with it 😂🐷 Anyway… I will call him Herman… For some reason, I have a feeling that this is a male pig… and he looks a bit like the post office guy in our village, ha ha… So I hope you have enjoyed your weekend, Andy, be safe and have a lovely week! Thank you 🙏🏻 Byeeee 👋🏻👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
I'm glad that you liked it... I really enjoy making these types of projects...
Well done remembering Rex's name... I'm hopeless at remembering.. names..numbers... dates... what I was going to say next... Haha
I would love to make a barn and have all the farmyard animals with it... perhaps in a couple of years when Rexli isn't going to eat everything... I do remember that you have a barn for the kids to play with though...
You have a lot of ideas about ways to make things... have you thought about getting a little lathe and giving it a go.... it is really good fun...
Now I am imagining you laughing and making an oinking noise... Haha...
From now on he is officially named ... Herman....
Haha the post guy... they say that everyone has a double somewhere...
My weekend was too short as always...
I hope that you had a lovely relaxing weekend and have an enjoyable week ahead...
Good to hear from you Jude...
Take care...All the best.....Andy ... 🐷👋👋👋
@@AndysCornishCreations Hi Andy! So Herman it is then 👍🏻😂 I think we already have a cute little lot of creatures for Rexli’s farm… With Herman the pig, hens Erna and Bertha and the two Highland sisters 🐑🐑 (for whom I have already got names too but I won’t tell you yet, I will comment on the video, ha ha)… all we need now for a decent farm is a dog and a couple of cows, and a cat or two, of course 😎 As for the « little lathe »… I so wish to try it out… but where could I put it? The barn is full of bee stuff, the basement of the house would mean dust everywhere, and the old bandsaw space, which is where I do my sanding and stuff, is not a closed space, so freezing cold… I will have to wait for the 🛸 😉 Well, we will see… Who knows, one day… Have a good run towards the weekend, Andy, take care 🙏🏻 So long, bye for now 👋🏻👋🏻 Jude
Great idea Andy, looks great and I'm sure lots of fun for the kids! All the best. Ray

Hi Roger...

Take care...All the best.....Andy
Loving the videos ….. could you advise me of the “log” condition when turning ? We have a small wood with some Sycamores that need felling … how soon could I use the wood ? Does it need drying , I have heard of people using microwaves … my father used PEG to stabilise, don’t think that is available now … but your pig blank looked quite green. Any advise gratefully received as I am new to the hobby …
Hi David...
Thank you very much...
Firstly... welcome to what I think is a great hobby... I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do...
This was a Hazel branch that I cut down probably about a year ago...
It was about 6 foot long and I just leaned it up in the back of my workshop ...
So its not completely dry but it's not wet either...
You could turn freshly cut timber into this little piggy but you may get some cracks appearing as it dries...
Applying a wax finish on the project would help to slow down the drying process...
Or if possible you could try to find some fallen branches in your wood that have been down for a while...
This would save having to wait for it to dry or turning wet wood...
If a branch has been down for longer.. it may have some Spalting in the wood which looks great...
There are videos on CZcams about how to make a wood drying kiln... which dries the timber much quicker...
These are made from old fridges and even cardboard boxes... one of these is on my to do list...
I have never tried the microwave method so can't advise on that...
Sycamore is nice wood to turn... much like Maple ...
One thing is for sure... the wood isn't costing you anything so just give it a go... nothing to loose ... gain experience and have fun...
I hope that this helps...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Heyup Andy - this was a great fun project thanks for sharing the pigs really cute - could do similar for a hedgehog or a haggis!
