You can make your own small lathe tools from old worn-out screwdrivers. They are hard tool steel and work well. Grind any shape on the end; keep the steel cool as you grind.

I remember someone said the harder wood spins longer than the softer. That shop of your sawdust pile reminds me of my cat using a sawdust pile like that my dad had in the garage as a litterbox. Dad did not appreciate that much, but then he chuckled. We didn't know about her doing that till we started cleaning up his mess. So...

Thank-you so much for making this video. I am brand new to turning and am really enjoying it. I've made a few tops but the wood really shows what type is best. The 2x2's are handy but the grain just keeps exploding on me. I made a really nice one yesterday from a piece of apple wood, what a difference. With your encouragement and tips, I'll keep going!!

Maple is great for tops.

Hardwoods are easier to turn. They also take much finer details. Use some firewood - that's usually hardwoods. Keep at it.

Very nice video. I'm in a club and I've turned over 70 tops - we sell them and donate to a children's hospital (over $4000 last year!).

How do you keep the pen coloes frim running? I like to wax or spray lacquer my tops for that extra shine and durability. Pat Harris

You were talking about rods made out of high speed steel. A wore out or broken drill bit is high speed steel.

What speed are you using the chatter tool, at

The higher the rpm the larger the spacing is between bumps when using a chatter tool. Chuck up some maple, turn the end smooth and play with a chatter tool. That's the only way to get a feel for the tool. The other embossing tools I run at 500 rpm.
