Watch me turn this massive piece of Birch! It took me over 12 months to make this piece due to a long drying period in the middle; what do you think? The piece was sanded to 1000 grit and finished with 5 coats of Danish oil. I couldn't do it without all of my wonderful tools, I have linked the most important ones below, check Axminster out if you're interested in using the best woodturning equipment: My SK100 Lathe Chuck: https://www.tagserve.com/clickServlet?AID=3396&MID=485&PID=691&SID=4175&CID=1965&LID=1276&SUBID=&TARGETURL=https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-woodturning-evolution-sk100-chuck-package-m33-x-3-5mm-108565 The Best Bandsaw in the business: https://www.tagserve.com/clickServlet?AID=3396&MID=485&PID=691&SID=4175&CID=1965&LID=1276&SUBID=&TARGETURL=https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-professional-ap3352b-bandsaw-230v-107644 My most important tool (AP508WL Lathe): https://www.tagserve.com/clickServlet?AID=3396&MID=485&PID=691&SID=4175&CID=1965&LID=1276&SUBID=&TARGETURL=https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-professional-ap508wl-woodturning-lathe-230v-107657 ________________________________________________________________ Social Media: Instagram: harrysmith_woodturning TikTok: @harrysmithwoodturning Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/HarrySmithShorts Designed By HS Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS Email for quotes and queries: [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ Starbond: Use the code: HarrySmith , for 10% OFF Site-Wide - https://starbond.com/ __________________________________________________________________________ Axminster: This channel is supported by Axminster.

Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first. And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
