I really enjoy watching you make your magic.
Hi Dave...
I'm glad that you enjoyed it...
Thank you so much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Andy that's the best giraffe I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Albert...
That is very kind of you to say so.. I'm glad that you liked it...
My pleasure...
Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I made a second one. As I was turning the neck, it snapped. I continued on and finished the piece. Now much smaller. I installed the head, and now it is a beautiful little sea horse. Keep them coming Andy
Haha... it's true what they say..
There's no such thing as a mistake, only an opportunity for a design change...
I bet it's cute ...
Take care my friend and all the best from Andy
Ooops, missed this one somehow.
What a lovely Giraffe and I'm sure Lexy has loved it for the last 11 months and will continue to do so.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw...
Haha... not quite 1st to comment then...
I liked this project and so did Lexy...
I'm struggling to keep up with answering comments.. hence the late reply...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Really really great giraffe we'll done
Hi Amanda...
Thank you so much...
I'm glad that you liked it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
New to woodturning
Gonna give this a try for my granddaughter😀👍👍👍
Hi Act Mountain Ash 8...
Welcome to what I think is a great hobby...
I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have...
I don't give many things as presents but I have given 2 Giraffes as gifts and they loved them...
I'm sore that your Granddaughter will love yours...
I would suggest that you make the groove for the legs while it is still mounted on the lathe...
I had trouble gripping it in the vice without damaging it...
Have fun making it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
amazing beautiful giraffe, greetings from Indonesia
Hi Rumah...
Thank you for your kind words...
You are my 1st comment from Indonesia... a beautiful place...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
awesome video, very neat trick using the spanner, makes it much easier, thanks for sharing.
Hi Rob...
Thank you so much...
I'm glad that you liked the spanner trick... I use it all the time...
Just remember.. light cuts and don't get the head jammed between the toolrest and the piece...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Andy fun turning. Your animal 🦒 turning’s are unique and inspiring 🧐
Hi David...
Thank you so much for your kind words...
I did have fun making this one...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice giraffe
Hi Chris...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
I've only made the chicken so far. I have the dimensions for the giraffe and will be turning that soon. I've got to get to the craft store for some craft leather for ears for some of the other critters. I really enjoy your videos and then trying to make them myself. Keep it up!
Hi Jack...
Ahhh the Chicken is my favourite...
I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos and that you're making them as well...
I would like to see some pictures...
Happy New Year...
Take care my friend and all the best...Andy
Just like all your animal turnings, this one is very clever and life-like, Andy! I just don't have that kind of imagination but appreciate that you do! 😊
Phil
Hi Phil...
Thank you so much.. I'm glad that you liked it...
Actually I get most of my ideas from other people and modify them ...
Thank you for watching...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Another great video from Andy the Cornish Zookeeper's menagerie! lol nice 'raffe buddy.
Hi Dave...
Glad that you enjoyed the video and liked the "raffe"...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice job Andy!
Hi Jim...
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
And your menagerie grows. Pretty soon you will be able to open a turned animal zoo. Let me know when it opens, and I am there. Thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video. Once I get things situated, I will begin my menagerie and share the pics with you. take care!
Hi James...
It is certainly growing and no signs of stopping... I still have a few project ideas left..
Indeed I am working on one at the moment with a sting in the tail !!
When the zoo opens .. you can have a guest pass...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video...
Please let me know when you start making your own.. I would love to see them...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I will let you know how it goes. Share pics and all that.
Seems these 20 minute turnings are becoming your most popular vids, Andy!
Keep’em coming ol’ boy!
TU for taking the time to shoot these, explain, & edit!👏👏👍👍👌👌😊😊🤗🤗
Hi Roy...
Yes they do seem to be popular and I enjoy making them...
And less of the Ol' boy ... I'm a lot younger than I look .. Haha..
My pleasure.. I hope that you continue to enjoy them...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Like that Andy. Will give it a go.
Hi Barry...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it...
I hope that you enjoy making yours...
When you do the groove for the legs I would suggest doing it while the body is still mounted on the lathe... much easier...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
really nice Andy great project
Hey Lawrence...
Thank you very much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
The compass to equalise the drill points was a game changer for me. Thanks Andy.
Hi Anthony...
Thank you...
I hope that you found it useful...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Hi Andy. I made the chicken from a previous video and my grandkids love it. I also made a worm, loads of beads and a snout and planed at the bottom to make it rest flat. They love them and I enjoy turning them.
happy Birthday Lexie
Hi Snobear41...
Thank you very much...

GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, TELL ALL HELLO...
Hi Catfish...
Thank you very much...
Hi to all in Arkansas...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
I can imagine using a bowling pin for this. My uncle would get pins from bowling alleys that could not use them anymore for free. He would then turn them down and make wooden soldiers. Very nicely done Andy.
Hi Brian...
Yes.. I turned a bowling pin a while ago and it was almost identical...
That sounds like a great idea making soldiers from old bowling pins... I bet the wood is good too..
Thank you very much...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
My dad turned the paint off old bowling pins and made them into lamp bases. Those lamps never tipped over, they were so heavy!
He's good fun, I like that he has his head slightly on one side. Thanks Andy, very useful and educational, as always.
Hi Mark...
Thank you.. I had fun making him...
I'm glad that you noticed the head slightly to one side... I think that it gives them more character...
Thank you for your kind words...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great video dear friend. Keep supporting us. Have a good day 💞💞
Hi Gurkirat...
Thank you so much my dear friend...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
He is beautiful 👍
My favourite animal, would purchase him in a heartbeat
Enjoyable video as always ☺ 👍
Hi Silverlady...
Thank you very much...
I can see why you would have a Giraffe as your favourite animal.. they are beautiful creatures...
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video too...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice and clever little project Andi, it's nice to have something different than all the bowls and Vases. Great one mate
Hi Japie...
Thank you very much...
I'm glad that you enjoy these little projects...
I find the bowls and vases a bit of a chore and I don't have much workshop time to do them...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations well, i really enjoyed it. As for workshop time, feeling is mutual. Take care
Love the Giraffe, most definitely will make some. Thanks again for a great video.
Hi Gerda...
Thank you.. I'm glad that you liked it and that you enjoyed the video...
I hope that you enjoy making yours... I would recommend working on the groove for the legs while the body is still on the lathe rather than the way that I did it using the vice...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Love your sense of humor. You make these look so easy. Thank you Andy
Hi Denise...
Thank you... I do try to keep it light hearted...
These are simple projects when you break it down to single parts...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Fun turn. Happy birthday Lexy! I miss the rain on the roof, but bet you are not missing it right now.
Hi Valerie...
I had fun making this one...
Thank you for the birthday wish...
Haha.. you are quite correct... I'm not missing the rain... it's clear, bright, Very cold and windy here ...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great project Andy! I'm sure Lexy will love it! Happy Birthday Lexy! Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Hi Stephen...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it..
Lexy did love it ... thank you for the birthday wish...
God bless you and yours...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Love him...so cute, thank you for mentioning the tools for me 😀
Hi Jenny...
Thank you so much.. I'm glad that you think that he's cute...
My pleasure... I will try to keep mentioning tools etc in future too...
Take care...All the best.....Andy

I do like to keep these videos light hearted ...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Another great turning Andy. Thanks for taking the time to share. 👍🏻
Hi Ian...
Thank you so much... I'm glad that you liked it...
My pleasure...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
You are definitely creating quite a bunch of animals 👍
Your going to have to make an arc next😀
Great vid as always and glad that you were able to enjoy some Sun ☀️
Hi Luie...
Yes I have quite a lot now... and more to come.. Haha..
An Ark would be a nice thing to display them in...
Thank you.. and it has been nice to see a bit of sunshine for a change...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
I just avoided asking that question..lol
Hi Andy, I've only been turning since July but I really enjoy your videos and keep trying to recreate your creations. I want to have a go at the giraffe next but I'm unsure of size. Can you give me a rough guide to the height of the body and the length of the head please. Thanks
Hi user-du...
Thank you so much for your kind words...
I hope that you are enjoying your new hobby... I just love it...
This Giraffe is one of my favourite projects...
I have just uploaded a short video with all the sizes of the Giraffe...
I hope that this will help you to make yours and I would love to see a picture of it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thanks for that, will try and have a go, keep up the good work. Very inspirational to turners, especially new ones like me 👍👍👍
Hi Stuart...
Thank you so much for your kind words...
I hope that you will have a go at making one...
It's fairly simple when you break it down to individual parts...
I would suggest that you put the leg groove in the body when the body is still mounted on the lathe..
I found it difficult to get a good grip in the vice...
I hope that you have fun making it...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Great fun this one Andy, really nice result too - all the best!
Hi Paully...
Thank you very much...
I had great fun making this one...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations I've just finished setting up my workshop - wouldn't mind a video on how you do your content videos, what cameras, software etc!?
Hi Paully...
I will see what I can do 👍👍
@@AndysCornishCreations Thanks Andy!
That is cute. Nice work Andy. Will have to add this to my list of ones to make.
Hi John...
Thank you very much...
I hope that you can get round to making one...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Really neat, Andy. The menagerie is growing even though this one won't be joining the others. Nice pun, too (tall order). Enjoy tne clear weather while it lasts.
Bill
Hi Bill...
Thank you... yes my animal collection is growing...
I will have to make another Giraffe to keep myself as this one has gone to Lexy for her birthday...
I do like to try and add a bit of "Dad" humour whenever I can... Haha..
Its been bitter cold here today but I'm definitely not missing the rain... I hope that you are enjoying fine weather in Ohio...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thoroughly enjoy your vids,thanks,Andy. Loving the animals. All the best,Dave in ( for once ), sunny Wales!
Hi Dave...
Thank you so much for your kind words... I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos...
It must be as rare to have sunshine in Wales as it is to have it in Cornwall... Haha...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Ain't that the truth! Cheers,mate,Dave.
Nicely done Andy! I’m looking forward to trying all these animals. If ever I get to a craft market again, they will be excellent impulse buys.
Cheers, Rick
Hi Rick...
Thank you very much...
I'm glad to hear that you are going to give them all a go ...
I think that craft markets will be back this year...and yes these are great impulse buy items...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Nice little project Andy! Especially like the skew information for the sharp edges.
Hi Rockin R...
Thank you very much...
The skew does a great job of taking out the uneven surfaces... use a round nosed scraper for the internal curves...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
That's really cute, Andy!
Hi Billy...
Haha... thank you very much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
It's a wonderful giraffe and a cute birthday gift!
You're just a few steps away from creating my favorite animal, the moose! I have a set of wooden salad spoons that have moose heads on them and thought about you just the other day. I wanted to send you a photo of them as the antlers are very stylized and simple. Maybe a future project?
Thank you for sharing this adorable giraffe and bringing a smile to my face! 😊
Hi Gwynn...
Thank you very much...
That's a cool favourite animal...
Strangely I saw a moose head on a wall in a stately home that we visited today...
I'm assuming that you have them in Oregon...
I will add it to my to-do list and you never know...
If you would like to send a photo.. you could e- mail me .... andy.paramore@btinternet.com
I'm glad that it made you smile...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Yes, there are moose in Oregon, but just in the very northeastern corner of the state, and only about 60 of them. The first moose sited there was in 1960 and it's believed that they wandered in from neighboring states to the north. When I was younger and living in Idaho, I was fortunate to see two moose in the back country while hiking with a friend. We stayed very quiet and out of their way!
Another fun project Andy. Well done 👏
Hi Joseph...
Thank you so much...I'm glad that you liked it...
I do try to keep my videos simple and fun...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
The zoo is getting bigger 😁
Nice job Andy!
Hey Wiktor...
Haha.. you are quite correct.. and more to come...
Thank you very much...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Greetings from Humboldt County Ca.first I thought it was a wine bottle till you cut the “cap” off. Then a bowling pin.never saw the animal coming.
Hi Bob...
Great to hear from Humboldt County California... it looks like a beautiful place to live...
Haha.. I kept you guessing then with this project...
I hope that you enjoyed the video...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Ahh! Beat me to it. Saw these a few months ago and fancied having a go, but too technical for me, you did a great job!! Nice to see you back in the workshop. It’s been ages since I got out to mine 😬😥 keep up the good work, Andy x
Hi Claire...
Haha... well you have to be on the ball to beat this Yorkshire lad...
And I doubt very much that this is too technical for you... easy peasy...
Actually... you are the one that got me started on these little guys with your Highland cattle video...
I hope that you can get some workshop time soon.. I always look forward to seeing your videos...
Take care...All the best.....Andy x
@@AndysCornishCreations yeah, you Yorkshire fellas are a right bunch 🤣🥰 you make it look too easy, Andy!! I mostly Just hack at it until I get something I want 🤣 you inspire me every day. Can’t wait to get back in the workshop. Not too long I hope. Happy wood whirling 🥰 might have to try one of these now you say I could do it! 🤣🌲🦊🌲
Perhaps cut the leg groove while still chucked with a rotary tool (Dremel)
Hi Timothy...
I couldn't agree more... I wished that I had done the groove whilst it was chucked up too...
I have a dremmel but never think of using it until it's too late... Haha..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Another fun project Andy, keep up the good work 😊
Hi Steve...
Thank you very much...
It was good fun to make this one...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Super cool! I like him very much. I wish I’d thought of using the compass for marking out the eyes and ears evenly when I did my mice! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it but when I saw you do it the lightbulb went off, so thanks for that! Always enjoy watching your videos Andy. Best wishes from 🇨🇦 and it’s snowing here!
Hi Jeanie...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked him...
Haha... this is the 1st time that I have used a compass to mark the eyes etc...
I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier either...
I think that because there are 6 holes in the head .. precision was more important...
I hope that you find it useful...
I'm so pleased that you enjoy watching my videos...
Great to hear from Canada... hope that it's not too cold in Ontario... enjoy the snow... we rarely get any..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
The giraffe looks amazing you make it look so easy
Toward the end of video you had a different set of chuck jaw I’d never saw before just wondering what brand they are
Thanks for sharing
Hi KE4YAL...
Thank you... I'm glad that you liked it...
The chuck is a Record Power sc2 with a set of Dome jaws in...
They are great for small pieces where you need to work close to the jaws...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
@@AndysCornishCreations Thanks I had never saw the dome jaws before I might have get some
Creative wood turning, and we get a bit of bonus humor at the end! Nice job Andy. What’s next up from the menagerie?
Hi Todd...
Thank you very much...
I do like a bit of "Dad" humour Haha...
Ahhh what's next... I have been asked to do a dog and a turtle but I have been working on a project with a sting in the tail .... watch this space..
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Good job . Can you make a moose ?
Hi Franklin...
Thank you very much...
I will put it on my to do list...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy 👋🏻 What a lovely tall little creature 😊👍🏻 He looks so good-hearted, our Gerry the Giraffe, one is tempted to get one 😉 Must be the first giraffe in Cornwall! I remember having seen giraffes in Paignton Zoo some thirty years ago… I wonder if they still have them… Anyway, we really must start to think of making a wooden barn big enough to provide room for all the critters you are creating… and I suspect we are not through yet… more to come 😎 That will be great fun for Rexli to play with, can you imagine… Indeed I would like to play with them myself 😊👍🏻 Keep’em coming, Andy… Now that Cornwall seems to be drying up, how about a camel 😉 Glad you are having a dry spell, even though somewhat cold still… Same here, dry but still quite cold 🥶 Take care, Andy, have a lovely week! Byeeee 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
I'm glad that you like Gerry...
He was the only Giraffe in Cornwall until I sent her up to Stockport to my Niece...
I've just had a quick look and there is a herd of Giraffes at Paignton zoo...
I will have to make another while I can remember how to do it for my collection...
Perhaps an Ark would be good, then I could make 2 of each to live in it...
By the time I could finish it Rexli would probably be grown up Haha...
I have got more planned.. I have had requests for a dog, a turtle, a moose, and I have started working on a Bumble Bee.... but it's proving to be difficult...
Remind me in case you have already told me and I have forgotten... what is your favourite animal..?.
Haha... Cornwall drying up ... we have just had such a wet and windy week.. everything is soaked again..
A Camel would probably get foot rot Haha...
I'm glad that it's dry for you, if a little cold... summer is coming...
Have a lovely weekend Jude...
Take care...All the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations What??!! Gerry has already left Cornwall!!?? Well, this is a bit of a shock, disappointing even 😤 A replacement must be organised at once… You best make two while you are at it, Andy… Loyalty does not seem to be these giraffes‘ strong suit 😬 Why not make a big one and a small one as well… Father and son… Chuck and Charlie, 2nd and 3rd giraffes in Cornwall 😃👍🏻 I would also have a great name up my sleeve for a camel… Larry (from Lawrence 😉), 1st camel with webs on the hooves in Cornwall… but maybe this is a tricky one… like the bumble bee… I wonder how you get to turn the wings on a lathe… Well, let‘s see 😎🤞🏻As for my favourite animal, mmmhhh 🤔 I find hedgehogs very cute, and we have had dogs and pigs and cows and peacocks and pigeons and bees and trout and even two desert spring mice, but I guess I would have to say CAT 🐈 for my most favourite animal 😊😁 Looking forward to Bill the bloated bumble bee then 😉😂 Just kidding, I am sure it will look great 👍🏻🐝 Have a great and hopefully dry and sunny Sunday, Andy, take care 🙏🏻 Bye for now 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Hi Jude...
Blimey... Sunday morning already...
I agree... these Giraffes are fickle creatures and he was off like a shot at the 1st opportunity...
The two sizes is a great idea and I will name them Chuck and Charlie...
Larry the webbed footed Camel in Cornwall... hmmmm.. and I do live in Camelford..
It could be tricky to make.. and I would get the hump if it went wrong... Haha..
I will look into making a Cat ... that's going to be interesting...
I'm still struggling with Bill...
I hope that you have had a good week and that you have a lovely day today...
Take care Jude... all the best.....Andy 👋😉👋
@@AndysCornishCreations Hey Andy 👋🏻 Crazy how time flies, I know… Right, the hump will be on you… But as you live in Camelford, I wonder how come Larry (like in Lawrence of Arabia, by the way) is not keeping company to Erna and Bertha and all the rest of them in the notorious storage cupboard already… 🤔 So Bill is being a bit of a diva you’re saying? Well, I am afraid that is what those male bumble bees are all about… I know, I should have told you before… but you’ll see the better of him, I am certain 🤞🏻😉 Looking forward to the cat 🐈 👍🏻😎 and to Bill, of course 😁🐝 Have a great week, Andy, stay safe 🙏🏻 So long 👋🏻😉👋🏻 Jude
Another lovely creature! Being a traditionalist I´m a bit disappointed the eyes aren´t close together looking straight forward...hehe. Take care! Claes.
Hi Den...
Thank you very much.. I'm glad that you liked it...
With regards to the eyes... it's no good just looking forward when there is a ruddy great big Lion coming up from behind !!! ... Haha...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
I like it but his spots are missing.😊
Hi Judith...
Thank you very much...
Ahhhhhh ... well SPOTTED.. or not... Haha..

What were you using to get the 5mm width on the ears and horns please
Hi user-du....
I am using a spanner with a sharpened tip...
I have a video from about a year ago .. look for the video with a spanner on the thumbnail... it explains how to make it and use it...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hello Andy
What is the name of the sanding paste and wax please Thanks
Hi Mark...
The sanding sealer is my own mix of...
1part diatomaceous earth
1 part beeswax
5 parts mineral oil
By weight...
The wax was woodwax 22...
