I used to use a mug and brush years ago when I was younger and my skin was smoother lol. I'm old and lazy now lol. You had me at the scroll saw, lost me at the lathe, but got me back on track with the resin. But, I really liked the show because you showed us the possible pitfalls. That is a great thing! We all have them in our shops! That is what makes your shows worth watching! I have the Canada Goose whirligig all painted. I just have to apply 4 coats of Exterior Varathane Spar Urethane. Then I will mount the wings and it will be ready to go. If you like, I'll send you a couple of photos when I'm done in a couple of weeks.. The body is 41 or 42 inches long and the wingspan is 54 inches tip to tip. They will revolve slowly in the wind because of the span and probably not in a light breeze. But, that is ok. I just wanted to make one life-size and close to scale. It will give the passers-by something to gawk at lol! Take care!
I got your email with the pictures Michael but am a little behind this week. Went camping for 5 days and I'm still trying to catch up to things around here. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for sending the pics. I will get to them soon.
That's a lovely piece. There's one suggestion I would make - some ridges on the inside to make for a more rapid lather - but I understand that the walls were getting a bit thin for extra working.
I agree with you 100% and that is a fantastic suggestion. I may be remaking this one and I think I will have to incorporate your idea. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment.
Awesome! I too use a brush and a mug/soap. Just one more of many things we have in common. Your videos always make me smile and I always learn something new!
Kenny, although the very thin sides of the mug were more or less by mistake it sure looks nice. No doubt with so many coats of epoxy it will last for years. Nice project.
i would take this project on except, i am 70 years old and i can count on one hand the number of times i have used soap to shave, good variety of tools used
Doesn't have to be a shaving bowl Keith. Could be converted into a flower pot. Plenty of options. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Kenny, I use an electric shaver. Long, Long ago, I had a shaving cup and double edge razor. Never had a straight razor. Fun video, looking forward to the next one.
Glad that you liked it Jim. Kind of odd how our shaving patterns change over the years. It's seems I'm going backwards in time. LOL. thanks for tuning in.
Many people many not notice it, but I appreciate your verias apron. You use it consistently as an MD, where as I keep. Running my shirts and shorts. What is wrong with me? God help me, if there is one.
I prefer to wear an apron in the shop. It does help to protect my clothing and also gives me somewhere to keep my pencils and my tape measure etc. Get yourself a shop apron. You won't regret it. Thanks for tuning in this week.
Loosely related but it reminds me of the ring master. Contraption that cores bowl rings to do what you did with the scroll saw. It has its own motor for a blade or bit… I forget. They are neat anyway. They even cut the rings from the same piece so you’re waste is low.
The thinness of the bowl may have made it fragile, but it looks awesome. Whenever, I'm turning a bowl, I chicken out and leave it too thick and then regret it after. What was your new chisel and did you like it?
The chisel that I was trying out was an "easy turn" type of chisel that was from Amazon. Just a cheap set that I wanted to try out. Here's a link if you are interested Jim. www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BRXJRCZ3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Thanks for tuning in to the show.
FYI some thin CA glue would have sorted the crack out instantly ... but the epoxy did that and also provided a nice tough finish 👍 The only thing wrong with the project is the dependence on so many machines which most people won't have, but you'll always have that problem ... what I got from this project was how you started out with one idea which by the end of the project had completely changed in how you executed it ... a good lesson in how to adapt 👍 Other methods, requiring less tools ... a segmented version (leaving it flat or using sanders to round off), a rolled up veneer version and finally, the find a bigger mug version 🤣
This project definitely morphed over its duration Barry. You are 100% right that there are plenty of ways to make this project without the different machines. Maybe I need to produce a show to demonstrate on of those other methods. Thanks for tuning in this week.
The chisels aren't bad but they aren't perfect either. They are an "easy turn" style copy that I got for cheap on Amazon. Here's a link if you are interested Keith. www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BRXJRCZ3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Thanks for tuning in to the show.

That epoxy really goes a long way to making this one waterproof Paul. Thanks for tuning in this week and for taking the time to leave a comment.

Interesting. I'll have to look that one up. Thanks for tuning in this week.

I would suggest to learn how to quickly sharpen HSS chisels. I used those carbide, but Im back with HSS
