In this video I do a really useful upgrade for my gardening hoe, plus I make a planting tool on the woodturning lathe.
With this project I wanted to solve the eternal loose handle problem. So I decided to replace the wooden handle of the hoe by welding a metal pipe in it’s place.
I begun by cleaning the pipe with a wire brush.
I then re-establish a new bevel on the cutting edge of the hoe. I used my tormek jigs on my bench top grinder.
I then stick ended the two metal parts.
Using my rotary tool I cleaned the welds a little bit.
I then added a coat of primer and then a coat of black to keep rust away.
For the bottom I turned a small conical piece out of beech which I epoxied in place. This makes the tool a little bit easier to hold on an upright position and also prevents it from slipping from your hand.
I then used a piece of platani to turn a planting tool. This is basically a cone with a handle. You push it against the ground to make a hole and then you place your plant in the soil.
September is the month for my winter veggies garden. So I had to make these two tools.
But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

In this video I make a metal base on which you can mount your turning chuck. The base itself is mounted on your lathe's tool rest position. This way you can remove your turned item, carve it and then remount it on the lathe without losing centre. It is also pretty expensive to buy something like that ready made.
First of all I found a screw that matched the female threads of my chuck.
I then cut the screw to size with my grinder. I chamfered the threads by mounting the piece on my lathe and using the grinder.
I then cut a piece of tubing. I also made it a bit smaller so the screw fit nicely.
I then welded a nut on top of it. When I weld and have gaps I use a broken electrode or another piece of metal to fill the gap.
I then made a knob using a threaded rod.
Next I cut and welded the rest of the parts.
I primed and painted the parts and my vise was ready.
It worked better than I expected and it actually saved me a lot of money.
But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

In this video I make a router jig for woodturning projects. This jig helps you use the trim router while your project is still mounted on the lathe. It works really nicely if you also use a divider in woodturning.
I begun by cutting some scrap wood to size on the table saw.
I then used a hole saw to open up the holes for my trim router.
I sanded the holes to achieve a snug fit.
Next I glued and nailed all the pieces together.
I then made the jig’s rest for my lathe. I turned a dowel and glued it on a flat base.
It is important for the jig to can be aligned with the lathe’s centre.
After that it was ready to test it.
It worked really nicely. Especially along with a divider.
But that was it. See you soon witha new project video.

In this video I make a wooden carpenter's mallet out of beech wood. Beech is cheap but really hard. So it's an ideal wood for that kind of project.
I begun by preparing my mallet’s head. I cut a piece of wood in half, jointed the two pieces and then glued them together.
I then squared my block. At this point it was easier to drill the hole for the handle.
Next I mounted the piece between centres on the lathe and turned it.
This was mostly skew work. To clean the end grain I used a bowl gouge.
I like to leave a little bit of excess wood so I can later on get rid of the tailstock marks. I removed the excess wood with a sharp chisel and my random orbit sander.
Next I turned my handle. I first shaped the tenon and then continued on the rest of the piece. I also added some sweat lines with my wire burning tool.
Finally I glued the handle on the head and buffed my mallet with carnauba wax.
My mallet came out really nice. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.

In this video I use an old kitchen knife and a piece of mahogany wood, to make a marking tool for woodworking.
I begun by applying layout fluid on an old kitchen knife blade. After drawing my design I cut it using my rotary tool.
I then used a belt sander to establish my knife’s bevel. I decided to make a skew knife. Every now and then I dipped the knife in water to cool it down.
I then buffed the knife with small buffing wheels and honing compound.
Next I cut a piece of mahogany to size and used the router to make a pocket for the blade.
I then epoxied the handle with the blade together.
Finally I shaped the handle using my belt sander, a hand plane and hand sanding.
I buffed the handle on my buffing wheel with carnauba wax.
Finally I gave the knife a final sharpening on my Tormek system.
And my little knife come out razor sharp and works really fine. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
