I married my wife in 1994 and one of our wedding gifts was an ornament like the beautiful one you just made. It still hangs in our window today. I know yours will be someone’s heirlooms for decades to come. Thanks
Thanks for turning a very nice ornament. It is just beautiful. Where can I find the bird that you put in the cage and what were the dimensions of the piece you turned for the finial, then what were the finial dimensions of the finial. Thanks for demonstrating this good piece
The bird is called a mushroom bird. Can be purchased from Amazon. The dimensions of the cube are approximately 2.25x 2.35x2.25” the finial is about 4 to 5”.
Thank you for a lovely step by step video , i have a block in my chuck thinking what to make next . A small hemostat called a mosquito clamp works great to hold and position little fiddly bits Off to building center for bigger forstner bit . I have a 1 inch , and 1 5/16 and 1 1/2 speed bore bits
The holes are moving so fast that the gouge skips over the surface and doesn’t enter the inside space. use a light touch and let the tool do the work.😅
sir, may I offer the recommendation that you position your camera to either a more overhead position or directly facing you from the other side of the lathe. it was frequently difficult to see what you were doing due to your hands, arms, and/or shoulders obstructing the camera. I offer this because I really wanted to see your beautiful work as you were doing it.
@@waltwager When will your works of art be available and how can I obtain them? That sounded pretty anxious, sorry, but I would love to have some of your delicious ornaments and those Xmas trees! Looking forward to doing business with you!! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
Very observant - you may have noticed I was getting a jam chuck to insert in the scroll chuck so I wasn’t about to turn the lathe back on until I had removed the key from the chuck.
I finally saw this after it being here for two years. Thank you so much for sharing and all of the great information.

A freakin open end wrench... that's awesome! I'm gonna make me several sizes of those as I have lots of extra wrenches. Great tool for the lathe.
Thank you for showing this. It's just delightful.

Great video Walt! Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you for showing this
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I always wondered what to do with those little birds!
9:39. I am confusing. How is the gouge not going inside the workpieces holds and breaking the 4 corners?
The holes are moving so fast that the gouge skips over the surface and doesn’t enter the inside space. use a light touch and let the tool do the work.😅
Thank you I enjoyed your video tremendously and I learned a lot and I'm grateful to you.
That is a great idea. Thanks for the video
Hi Walt, great video, I have done a similar project with a tree in the hole but the bird makes a nice change. All the best for the festival season.
Best of everything in the holidays.
Fantastic job 👏 👍 👌

very nice i like this alot
beautiful well done
Where did you get the bird from? I really like it
What did he call the 1 3/8” Forstner type bit ?
Walt could lessen that square-edged occlusion before the hs turning …imo
Very nice thanks for the training.
Very, very NICE!!
Are they available for purchase?
Thanks, I sold all I made this year. I’ll start making them again next year.

where did you get the bird?
Which wood did you use?🤔🤔🤔
Probably maple -cherry, walnut, all work well
@@waltwager Make's sence = fine grain🐺
We wood monkeys do like to injure ourselves. How did you do that one. It’s in an odd place
It had nothing to do with woodturning. I did it mowing the yard when I ran into a low lying tree limb.
NICE/BUT CSNNOT (UNDERSTSND) WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND NO CLOSED CAPTIONS
What is your source for the "bird?"
Google miniature mushroom birds -
Hi where do you get these tiny birds
I have some miniature KOI I think I’ll use….
Very nice Walt! Where do you get the birds?

You really need to be more aware of your camera positioning so we viewers can see what you’re doing.
Can't believe that you left the chuck key in the chuck. BIG NO NO, no matter how good you are.
