How to make a woodturner wooden toy

 


























Tools and materials I propose:

Silver solder

Belt sander

Flux

Propane torch

Tormek  honing compound

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Table saw

Drill press

Bandsaw

Angle grinder

Dowel center pin

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit


In this video I make a woodturner miniature toy, out of 15mm plywood, basswood and a few metal parts. 


First of all I cut the base’s parts on the table saw. I glued and nailed them together. 


To make the tailstock and the head of the lathe I cut all the pieces at once using carpet tape. 


I epoxied a couple of threaded rods in place. 


I then turned the pulleys of  the lathe.


I made a few other metal parts using a threaded rod, the angle grinder and silver solder. 


Next I made the tool rest. 


Using a small piece of zebrano wood I turned a test piece for the lathe. 


As a belt for the pulleys I used a piece of sandpaper. 


Next I shaped the woodturner on the lathe. This was mostly skew chisel work. I did the rest of shaping on the belt sander. I connected the leg and arm parts with 6mm dowels. 


I then turned a small roughing gouge for my turner. 


I assembled the turned with rubber bands. 


Finally I painted everything and did the final assembly of the piece. 


And that was it. My woodturner model toy was ready. I hope you liked it. See you soon with a new project video.
