Hello and welcome to Donald Vlogsifys Wood Shop.
I'm your host, Donald Matthews.
First, let me apologize for my voice.
I've had something for the past couple weeks. I think it's allergies and...
sinus infection, and that sort of thing.
And I'm just now starting to get my voice back a little bit.
Which is why my video is a little bit late.
And I had a pen order. Didn't....
Wasn't out in the shop much except for doing that.
And, also, that's why this is just kind of a shop update.
To let you know what I've been doing. Which is pretty much just coughing and hacking.
And you know what comes along with that sort of stuff.
I came out here for a little while, every other day or so; when I felt like it, and turned a pen for that order.
And making... ummm... sorry. Hang on...
And making....
It's still doing it. Just one second.
And making plans for my next couple of little deals.
Videos.. whatever you want to call em. Projects.
I think the first one's gonna be.... umm....
Awhile back. I actually believe it's been a couple years, three years... something like that.
It's when I was staying in Fayetteville.
My buddy Robert sent me this......
uhhh... pen blank. I believe it's acrylic. Maybe alumilte....but I believe it's acrylic.
And... at that point in time I was just getting into pen turning and....
Really wasn't sure if I could turn it... how to turn it... or anything and I been....
And I've been kind of putting it off cause it's this uhh....
Honey comb type stuff.
I'm not really sure of what it is. It looks like honey comb.
I'm not sure. But anyway, it's cast in acrylic or alumilte or whatever this is.
And I got a pen kit.
Which is another reason I've put it off cause....
When I was first getting into turning pens.
The prices of.....
these larger pen kits kind of threw me off. I kinda like the idea of....
ya know.....
Getting 10 or 15....
slimline pen kits for one lump sum, and lower price.
And when I looked at these and saw that one of these cost as much as getting a few slimlines....
That just kind of threw me off.
But, I caught these on sale at Exotic Blanks...
And I ordered a couple of them.
I'm gonna turn one out of this. And probably turn one...
out of that.... uhhhh......
uhhh... some of... uhhh.... uhhh uhhh uhhh
Some spalted... I believe it was huckle berry... Mullbery?
My friend Stan sent me.
I need to do something with that stuff too.
That's some pretty wood. I got to do something with that.
(Phone ringing)
Excuse me.
Anyway......
So I think that's going to be my next video. Me trying to turn this.
I'm not going to make a video of me....
putting... uhh, setting it up and, ya know... putting the
tubes and drilling and all that stuff. I'm just going to...
Make a video of me turning it. Cause...
I think you've seen enough of all that stuff.
And on that one, the turning will be fun enough.
Me trying to figure that out.
I haven't turned many... I've turned acrylic blanks.....
and alumilite blanks. And boy I love alumilite blanks.
But I've never turned.. I haven't turned...
Other than the coffee bean pen....
I haven't real turned anything that was cast in alumilite or acrylic.
So.... that should be interesting.
Then... I've kinda been thinking....
I'm trying to build some things along to try and organize my shop a little bit better.
(message alert)
Get things up off the floor.
(another message alert)
Kind of organize my shop a little bit better some cabinets.. (another message alert)
We'll fix that right now.
(sound of phone turning off)
On that note. Let me have a little rant.
Whoever allowed, opened up and allowed....
these telemarketers and stuff to have cell phone numbers...
should be shot, along with the telemarketers.
I'm just saying... that's my personal opinion.
I've been trying to get some things together. Build some cabinets,
Like the work bench and stuff like that.
To get my shop a little bit better organized, instead of having stuff...
strewn and in tool boxes and here and there... ya know.
So my next project in that aspect....
I need a place where I can sharpen my gouges and turning tools....
on the grinder.. The bench grinder.
I'm kinda getting tired of having to do it by hand.
Eventually I'm going to have to set them up on the bench grinder anyway because....
All I can do by hand is just touch them up. To get the proper...
curves and angles and all that, I need to do them on the bench grinder.
So that's going to be my next build.
This is something that I have an idea of what I'm going to build.
While I was sick I just sat there and in my 3d modeling program, playing with it....
the idea I had in my head.
This is probably going to be close, but it's not going to come out exactly like this.
This is about the extent of how I make plans.
I get an idea.....
I might try to build it a little bit in a 3d modeling program.....
I haven't quite learned sketchup yet.
But just to get an idea of how it's going to go together.
I don't really put any exact measurements on it. I.....
tend to let that be a thing that comes...
along as I'm building the project.
That kind of works out sometimes, cause even if you make plans you have to adjust them sometimes.
But, it's also a detriment at times.
Just because I'm too lazy to...
learn the sketchup so I can kind see how it comes together with the measurements I have in my head.
uhhh... so that should be interesting too.
I know it'll be interesting to build. Everything's interesting to build.
Anyway...
uhh ummmm
The whirligig wars are over. Uhh....
I'll leave a link to.....
Russ' show where he announced the winners up top...
and if it'll allow me to, I'll put a link to the playlist.
Up in that little "I" thing up there.
To the uhh.... playlist.
Either way, down below in the description I'll put...
a link to the live show Russ did...
Let's talk shop with Russ.
Where he did the live drawing and announced the winners.
What it was, the first three winners where chosen by judge,
and the prizes that were left after that were raffled off to the entries that remained.
I won a $25 gift card from BPway.
And they got some cool stuff there.
I'll put a link down below in the description to them.
They got a lot of good stuff. It's gonna be hard to figure out what to spend that gift card on.
But I won a gift card from them.
I want to thank Russel Claridy for putting on the whirligig contest.
And thank all the sponsors, of course, for putting up all the prizes.
And say congrats to all the entrants, cause evrybody won on that one. It was a fun build.
Especially to the winners. hahahaha
Anyway, I believe that's about it for this one.
My voice is about to give out. I can feel it. I can feel it back there.
