Woodturning a long shoe horn

 


























Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Buffing kit

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Wire Burning Kit

Block plane

Spoon carving knives

Centre drill countersink bit


In this video I make really long shoe horn out of basswood. 


The inspiration for this project came from Mr Ernie Conover's video on turning long spindles with mortise & tenon joints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqTcYmoLtag


I begun by cutting my stock to square pieces on the table saw. 


I then started truing the pieces with a skew chisel. 


Obviously you can’t glue end grain and my lathe is too small to turn such a long piece. So I had to join the pieces with mortise and tenon joints. 


To make the mortises I attached the drill bit on the main spindle of the lathe. I used the tailstock to push the piece against the drill. This way I can achieve centred holes on both ends of the piece. 


To make the tenons I roughly turned them close to size and then I used sand paper to remove the rest of the material. This way I  achieved a pretty snug fit. 


I added beads on the places where two pieces join. This way I can hide the joint. 


Once I turned all the pieces, I glued them together. 


To make the horn I first turned the piece on the lathe. Then I removed most of the material on the bandsaw and used a spoon carving knife to finish the job. 


Once I glued everything together I buffed the piece on a buffing mop.


It came out really nice and works really well. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
