I've always been fascinating by those hypnotizing woodturning videos. We wanted to create our own lathe with a drill and a waterjet. It turned out better than I expected. I thought the baseball bat turned out perfect, its better than I could have done on a real lathe.
What should we do next? Let us know in the comments.

Lathes will always be one of the most intimidating machines to me. Most "lathe accidents" have an end result spreading across a hemisphere surrounding it, and there usually isn't a body to recover if things go really wrong.
I work with a lathe it is not incredibly dangerous. If use right and respect it don’t get comfortable with it
Worked around lathes all my life, I've been hurt but honestly having respect for it never seriously. I am scared of laser machines though, I admit that
Look up “Oilfield Driveshaft Accidents”. That’s pure nightmare fuels that makes some lathe accidents look like nothing
@@jaythatguyyouknow5135 the difference is that you could be just walking by a machine shop when a workpiece comes through the wall (or roof) and vibechecks you
I work with them and the only real scary times are when you have a big piece spinning fast. I run small parts at 3000 rpm with no worries all the time.
The wobble you were getting was from removing too much material at the end. Typically you would want to put the head of the bat toward the drive side so there is more meat and then start cutting at the handle end. That will leave the bat stiffer and provide more support while removing material.
All I needed today was a brief construction montage
Very same
Agreed
Rest In Peace edd
That ad😂😂😂
What ad
6:06 is what he means
Dawn power wash dish spray?
@@Felix_Argyros then he should put a time stamp so people can understand easier
It was a good ad for sure
The more important question, how do I turn my lathe into a waterjet???
6:10 is that horizontal vertical video??? That's even worse than vertical video, makes me sick and gives horizontal vertical video syndrome!!!!!!
Put your water main into the lathe... then you'll figure it out from there
@Paradoxical Nightmare my guy actually gave a turorial
Man, I’m sitting here watching the brief construction montage thinking “wow, what an awesome way to use the water jet”... and then I realized that’s the main purpose of the water jet haha
"... The video nobody was asking for..."
You are correct. I didn't search for this, but I'm enjoying it.
6:33 The contract literally just lists like every different type of meat. 👍
Someone found the easter egg. One bagillion dollars of meat
@@WaterjetChannel I want to sign that contract
Beat me to it. Had to pause and look at what the contract was for.
Definitely could've been for a left nut with this channel 😂
it's a bacon ipsum 😂
@@WaterjetChannel My spidey senses tell me this was a Mitchell comment.
I love how the waterjet was used to make parts to mod itself. Its like 3d printing 3d printer mods.
Or lifting pallets of forks with a forklift.
The real miracle is that HF drill ran for 2+ hours!
With it being so close to the water it most likely cooled it down enough. But yea I'm surprised a drill was enough power to move that hard wood
HF tools are surprisingly good
@@Nicc93 - the required torque/power are more about the bearings and the waterjet than the mass of the wood itself
They won the HF lottery.
btw, I just bought a welder from them. Wish me luck...
@@GeneralChangOfDanang I would... but you almost certainly don't need it; that welder will probably be fine.
„This is the video no one is asking for“ WROOONG sooo many people want this I am sure 😂
If so, then sooo many people are idiots.
@@timhofstetter5654 happy curious creative idiots
But did someone asked for it?
I want it, just didnt know I wanted it. Sounds gay lol
Give the guy who actually works at the company the bat!!
I agree.
They of course don't have to but I think they should.
That'll take some time
1:09 those are the best welds I've ever seen on CZcams
@slapdatpuck88 i have not. just looking through that channel, i don't see anything that interest me.
i mean, i'm pretty sure that this is a metal fabrication shop. there are probably more people there that are competent welders than not. although the welds look a little cold to me. they should have been welded flat, so no reason to not run it hot.
@@iamzid and for what it was being used for, it is plenty strong
Those are bad welds, but it's not like they're selling them.
@@fartsoundeffect5013 Bad welds*
"Ha ha, a rookie, eh? A Swatter, my friend, is a Diamond City tradition. See it used to be that this whole place was a stadium. And two teams would meet and play a game called baseball. One team would beat the other team to death with things called Baseball Bats, and the best bats were called Swatters. True fact."
A man of culture I see
Baseball history never told better than Moe!
Love me some fallout
That ad is genius
It came to me one night when i couldn't sleep
It really is tho.
@@WaterjetChannel the link isn't loading
@@WaterjetChannel It perfectly encapsulates my germophobia about public bathrooms and monetizes it. Just brilliant
I like this youtube channel but this idea isn't original in any way, I've been seeing ads for the milspin covid key since like the beginning of quarantine and it's the same thing
That add is perfection 😂
Also I’d love to see that just turn the bat a hypersonic speeds 😃
Finally someone using "copper" and "fingers" in the same sentence without it referring to police
Meyah! You'll never get me copper!
Triggerfingers coppers?
@@ChrisD__ hey, that's pretty good!
😂😂😂
@@Gterr1971 You sure you don't want us to get you copper?
Water and electricity
Always great together 😂
Not gonna lie, you make a pretty damn persuasive sales-pitch for "The Copper Finger".
Cuz poop
I saw that product in a store a few days ago
All it needs is a bottle opener and you'll have the PERFECT TOOL
@@WaterjetChannel brilliant I bought it to supportt the guys with lots of kids to feed I have been ok my whole life with out it but you there are sometimes I wished I had something like this and would use my shirt as a barrier
I've just went to see how it cost and surprisingly 3,795$ or 36 payment of 105.42$ seriously? Is that a joke or what?
I love how freaking messy the shop is, makes me feel better about mine! 👌🏼
@1:08 Welp, guess there is no mistaking this for "Welding Channel"
Now that's some full pen if you ask me
Those were some $8 an hour welds lol.
Wow there, you actually used the waterjet for what's supposed to be used for almost a minute
That ad was flowlessly incorporated. Bravo.
Very cool idea, like that you guys never seem to run out of creative ideas for videos and most importantly are just having fun doing them. Great work!! 👍
good thing you guys know how to cut circles
Shoot... if i would have cut a circle it would have made a sphere... missed opportunity for sure
@@WaterjetChannel Wooden bowling ball, or bocci ball, or whatever Lawn Bowling is, anyways..
Wood bowling balls when?
I feel like the end product will eventually split , due to re-introducing water to the wood from the the water jet. Wood obsorbes water unlike plastic, and metal. and you sealed it while wet.
I was wondering the same thing....maybe use metal instead of wood??????
@@ericwilliams7374 we have to know if the machine cuts a piece of metal that thick.
@@ericwilliams7374 Aluminum bats are hollow, so any bat they could make from metal would be ludicrously heavy.
When the other guy in the shop says "what's that, can I have that" you know you nailed it
This is utterly inspired, i cannot believe they do not use this for roughing out castings/forgings on those massive lathes. you just see them slowing using a ceramic cutting tool slowly taking it down to the desired shape.
That was very cool! Using a waterjet to make a bat, who woulda thunk? 😂
*thought
This grammar hurts me
Who'd a thunk it? Is the only acceptable way to speak in a shop setting. Lol
Bruv
Do it with aluminum!!!!! Also that was the greatest commercial I’ve ever seen
I want to try with aluminum
You realize aluminum bats are hollow, right? I didn't think so. :-)
@@eingamel that is part of the funny bit
A water jet is like the most versatile tool ever
What amazing things water can do! Cool video, great work!
0:00 so basically every video ;)
Love you guys
You just KNOW there's someone out there who's water jetted themselves a wooden dild before
pretty sure that's the default CNC sketch that loads when you boot the machine up the first time
I actually do not know that
Not sure what i'm most chocked about. You having that idea, or it actually being true.
Either way, weird mindset xD
rule 34, so no.
@@pmcKANE what's a dild? 🤔
That advertisement was highly entertaining! 😂😎👍
That is thinking out of the box. GREAT JOB!
you guys should turn this channel into Waterjet wood-turning cause wood turning channels pull a hella a lot of views
I enjoyed this. The wooden bat wasn't the only wood present.
Not a waste of time at all!! I enjoyed it! Thank you! It was pretty relaxing for me
That was a very creative use of a waterjet. Next time, leave the deep end cuts out until the very last minute. It will improve the finish and rigidity. Oh, and I think you forgot to factor in, 2 guys standing around for 2 hours into your bat cost. Thats waaaay more than a $300 bat. But it was worth it.
This channel is still under a million subs?! I don’t know why, but I assumed there were at least 3 million 🤦♂️
I assumed the same thing
@@WaterjetChannel There will be after this video!
Great vid but why didn’t you guys flip the lathe so that it cut in the same direction as it span
Then it would just, spin. Like super incredibly fast and be a problem.
Because that tends to make the wood get all Explodey
Dr.J it wouldn’t cut anything then
Dr.J spun
It would be cool tho
Absolutely amazing. I struggle with a normal wood lathe. Awesome
I use that trick for machining foam, it's a pain in the butt on a regular lathe (too soft, it just warps all over the place as soon as the tool makes contact) so I turned a laser cutter into a lathe, same way they turned there waterjet into one, expect a bit less janky and a lot more effective. (the laser doesn't imply any force on the foam and melts straight trough it, even with relatively thick parts.)
it only works with foam tho, anything with a higher melting point and density and it does basically nothing.
That's the BEST AD EVER , THE COPPER FINGER. Super clear explanation jeje
Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
Would it not have worked having the water jet going with the spin of the wood like I understand it would penetrate less
It would probably spin at warp speed and explode like the fidget spinners and skateboard wheels they blew up.
@@Woogoo336 if the wood wasn't so expensive (based on their comments at the end) then I'd say that would've made for fantastic content, honestly.
"We exploded a massive fucking chunk of solid wood with our water jet."
@@randomnpc445 $30 in wood $300+ in cutting time.
God, you made such a show out of just waterjet, that soooo epic.
I have never seen one being used before. Thank you for sharing this.
"haha that's a funny advertisement parody"
"But they do it themselves?"
"Holy bananas they actually selling copper fingers."
🍌🍌
This old tony/ave/everyotherlathemaster: .... *thumbs up with a face of confusion.*
I've been wanting to do this for ages guys!! thanks for doing this. I may have to have Dan make me one in the lab... Don't be too hard on Craig or David with that bat guys!
I think you have jus revolutionised wood turning in one video pure genius
Could've just started on the other side, with the spin. (Edit: I guess that it would need a braking system though to limit spin speed.)
Finally found someone else that said to cut the other side... seems like common sense
The brake would be easy and better than the drill
New challenge: full size petrified wood baseball bat 🙃
You asked yourself "could I do it" instead of "should I do it" and that's what defines a true maker.
Finally. I asked for this vid back in 2018
As a woodturner, this hurts my soal
Try making one out of aluminium (aluminum).
That would take 19 hours
@@WaterjetChannel I'm glad I didn't suggest titanium! 😅
@@WaterjetChannel 19 hours or $2850 dollars that's an expensive bat! Plus wear and tear on the machine lets add another $200 to that. So $3000+ bat :)
Awesome DIY. Nice work guys!!!!
Best commercial Ad I've ever saw (in the last two weeks of course )LOL
@1:03 that bearing ''press' fit makes me puke
its not ideal
way more fun than i expected!
Great video and idea guys, thank you!
Thats freaking awesome!!!
Thank you I’ve been trying to find out how to do this!
Glad to see you have Benchmade quality!
Just found this channel. I don't think I've even seen a water jet in person. I love it.
Well done guys,WOW,imagine wat you guys can make from wood using the lathe system
The copper finger cutout was awesome!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't ask for this but the result is super amusing. Kudos
I especially love the adequate [and highly appropriate] use of the Wilhelm Scream in the Copper Finger pitch.
This is all I wanted this week
Ordered the copper finger. Great idea!
That's a nice looking bat. Great job guys.
That's pretty cool, I run waterjets for a living and have cut a ton of stuff but never thought of doing this
Easily the coolest thing I’ve seen on the channal
Surprisingly it was fascinating to see
This video is amazing, and i want more
Wow. Awesome tool
This is amazing
I like lathe comps so this is like a dream
Whoa! The end result of that first bat was surprising and unexpected!!!
Lol love the ad but the dollar shave club ad you guys did a while back is still my favorite
$300 solution to a $30 problem. Love it!!!
I have to say, this is the first time I've shared a video for the ad in the middle of it. That was hilarious.
I didnt know I needed to see this but I would like to see more
I normally find myself wanting to hit the like button during multiple points in your videos. This time I hit like at the concept conveyed in the title/thumbnail.
The electric drill hovering over a huge tub of water is the highlight here...
Holly cow, the most convincing promotion ever
your lads are crazy lol.. but i cant stop watching your vids !
The copper finger ad was brilliant 😂😂😂
That was pretty amazing.
That is one tasty contract.
That copper finger is a legit brilliant idea. Ordering one now...
Your guys production rate is through the roof
Best promo I've ever seen, lol
Finally ! getting lathe.
Combining two of my favorite things; the waterjet channel and lathes
Love the channel, was a garnet head back in the mid 90's and still miss it everyday!
I find waterjet operators to be....abrasive *finger guns*
LMAO!! I'm sold on the copper finger haha that was funny XD the Water jet Lathe aka made the impossible lickens baseball bat! Nice!! Amazing work guys!!
Great work
