All Things Woodturning – Live Streams …

Friday September 18th, 2026: It’s been a month since my last live stream. In part 2 of the twice turned box, I will work on the lid. The biggest concerns are the join between the lid/box and the lid shape because of the lid tenon interference. Join along for the design, reshaping and turning.

YouTube player

Friday August 7th, 2026: I am going to turn a small bud vase. This little bud vase holds a 10mm x 75mm test tube so that it can keep a small flower alive. These make great gifts and are easy to turn. I will also finish of the one I started last time with a little splash of color.

YouTube player

YouTube player

Friday June 12th, 2026: I got a few replies to my ‘spindle gouge’ article in the newsletter last week and so I thought I would try and help a few folks out by looking at how the spindle gouge operates.

YouTube player

Friday May 29th, 2026: I have finished turning two smaller vessels, so what is next? I have a few more to finish turning.

I am looking for inspiration…

YouTube player
