Woodworking Youtube Channel

[kingchristo]

Hi everyone in the last couple of months I have started a woodworking youtube channel I have uploaded 3 videos upto yet and hoping to do another one this weekend. Just wondering what kind of videos people on here would like to see of people woodworking e.g. scroll saw work, routing things like that. Hopefully I can make some good videos and help people get into the woodworking hobby.

Stick the link on and you'll probably get feedback, (if you want it, that is)

I'm not an experienced wood turner but I did flinch a little watching you polish your mushroom with the cloth wrapped around you fingers.

I have a friend who was cleaning the chain on a motorbike with the engine running and in gear with a rag wrapped around his fingers like in your video. I know it's stupid but it dragged his fingers into the sprocket and he now has one finger less.

if I suggest you should be careful it don't happen to you am I being over cautious?

Woah......got to be a safer way to sand and polish! Sorry buddy but methods like that shouldn't really be available for people to see.

Good luck with the channel. Be safe.

I will may close attention to safety in my future videos going to be going a scroll saw video tomorrow thank you for your feedback sometimes Ive just get used to doing something and it not always the right way. I hope people enjoyed the videos WIthough the scary safety issues but I will try and correct the in the future.

I have not found a better way of polishing yet and that was the way I was shown how to polish by a guy at a stall at a woodwork show a few years ago now. I am Always abit worried about it catching on something

Chris.

May I suggest:

Remove the turning rest. Hold the paper in the crook of your fingers, with your thumb nipping the paper. Support your wrist with the other hand, and apply the paper from underneath the work. If the paper catches , the worst that will happen is the paper will be snatched from your hand, with no danger to fingers.

Polishing, just the same, with the rag folded into a pad.

That's how my grandfather showed me, and that's the way I've always sanded on the lathe. I'll just check my digits.... 8

Yes, a full compliment, by the grace of the man upstairs.

Here's a tool for polishing bowls, and perhaps other stuff on a lathe

Sorry I wasn't trying to be clever. I liked the overall presentation of your video and I did watch it from beginning to end.

I do have a lathe and have just started a little turning, four chisel handles last week was my first real attampt.

Can I ask why you used that pointed tool over a bowl gouge or a roughing gouge?

A thread from the top of the Safety notes Rotating objects and the use of woven materials. in the Turning section Help Sticky,

 

[Monkey Mark]

Watched your videos. If your wanting feedback, then here's mine.

No sign of PPE anywhere. Nor was it mentioned. If for no other reason than to cover your own ass, put something in there about safety.

 

[n0legs]

I watched all three. You seem keen to have a go at anything, which is good.
Maybe watch some of the other videos that are about.
I suggest for wood turning:-

General:-

There's loads and loads to see, but from them you'll learn the sort of stuff people want to see and how to present it.
As said by others, safety is at the top of the list.
If you are not doing it safely, and you're putting your videos up there as some kind of tutorial, how do you expect anyone else to learn?
Maybe hold off on posting anymore videos until you've taken an inward look at your own working practices.

Thanks everyone for the advice I am going to take it all on board and have a look at some other videos and also have a look at my safety in general. It takes someone else I think sometimes to have a look as you don't always notice and can get abit lazy I suppose. I really do want to continue to make videos as its not just my hobby its also therapy for my health and I hope that someone can get some ideas and take up woodworking themselves as it is a great hobby but I must make sure that I am more careful with my safety.

 

[kingchristo]

I have also added a safety notice to my videos now and on the about page.

 

[custard]

Good for you. =D> You look like you're enjoying yourself and that's pretty much all that counts!

Hi Chris,
I have looked at your videos and I agree with the others comments and I am pleased that you have taken them on board ,I would also remove the ring.
