Lovely little project, i like the little dark dowels it just goes to show that even on a simple, title vase there is something to be learned keep up the good work and keep posting
I'm just a beginner & boy do I appreciate your easy explanation of everything!! I'm just this week trying some of these little guys and they look like a lot of fun!!
Nice job. I am often looking to do something with those odd pieces, and this looks like an option. One thing that you might want to show, is what you do to actually finish the bottom after parting. I work with several younger turners and that is a question that they always ask. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for commenting, Raymond, and thanks for the suggestion. On weedpots, I don't do any real finishing on the bottom...just remove the nub and rub some finish on the raw wood. I'll include that in later videos, though.
Very nice design. My wife likes these also, and we have given them away as gifts. I have been making them using glass inserts so that she can keep the bud alive longer with a little water - I purchase ordinary glass test tubes at a surplus store (Marine Specialities, Provincetown, MA). The other thing I do is use a jam chuck to hold the finished vase to finish the bottom. The jam chuck is just a block of wood (mine is threaded to fit on my spindle, but it could also be mounted in a scroll chuck) and with a turned dowel that fits inside the hole in the vase.
Thanks, Pearl. I love turning weedpots....that don't take much material, and they're.quick and easy to make. And my wife loves to give them away to friends and family.
Hi, Jeff. It’s been so long ago that I made this video, that I’ve forgotten. But oil finishes like this are usually wiped on, let sit for 10 minutes, then wiped off. Hope that helps.
Why do you all work with the Imperial measurement system? ...... you bang on about the Boston Tea Party ..... so why on earth do ya alllllll work in fractions ??
lovely idea putting the pegs in 😊
Beautiful work Rick, the purple heart is the finishing touch.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks, Mike!
Nice little project - I've got to turn one for my wife..... thanks for the great instruction and for putting it up on the tube, Doug.
Thanks, Doug.
Very nice Rick! Great, simple yet elegant design.... I've never used a plug cutter. Really appreciate your mentioning them.
Thanks for commenting, Charlie!

Weed pots are fun and easy! Thanks for watching, Jim.
Just caught this lovely touch to fun project thanks for sharing this
Excellent video. Like the mirror behind the lathe. Lets us see what is going on. Also like that there is no music like so many videos have. Good work
Thank you, Joe. I don't like the music added to a lot of woodturning videos either....I'd rather hear the machine noise (muted somewhat).
Great work!
Thank you, Robert.

Thank you, Carl.

I've often thought about using glass inserts, but have considered it too expensive. Where do you get your inserts from?
Very nice, I made one with similar shape just two weeks ago. Thanks for sharing.
mauro
Thanks, Mauro. Did you make a video on your weedpot? I am subscribed to your channel, but I may have missed it.
