Turning Baby Rattles from Maple wood - quick woodturning project

A baby rattle can be a pretty quick and simple project - you don't need any real hollowing skills and it can be made with small scraps of wood, some glue, and some rice. It's a pretty straightforward process; the only part that's at all tricky is getting a good fit when you attach the handle to the bulb. Aside from a tiny bit of rough hollowing, the turning is mostly just spindle turning and you can embellish the rattle as much or as little as you like. You could also make a bigger version as maracas and try something other than rice inside to get different sounds.
Still no commentary (yet), but I did include some subtitles with a little extra info about what I'm doing in certain parts. Maybe you'll actually hear me speak in the next one (my first attempt was a disaster, so you won't be seeing that one).

  • I see so many KZheadrs with Robust toolrests on non-Robust lathes. I also use them on my Jet lathe, and there are none better. Why doesn’t every lathe maker learn from this and copy the best??

  • Chad, you do nice work, but I would love to hear you comment on what you are, and maybe give us some measurements, so we can give it a try. Thanks for sharing & see you next time

    • Hi Barb! Thanks for the kind words! If you want to give it a try, just do it... I don't measure anything. If I need two parts to fit, I just use calipers or trial-and-error to make them fit - their nominal size is inconsequential. Make a comically gigantic version. Make the tiniest one you can. Make any size in between. Mess one up and start over - or improvise a way to make it work. It's YOUR vision and YOUR work that matters. You might find a way that works better for you. That said, I do plan to actually start adding commentary as I go. My first attempt at it was not particularly great, but I'll be trying again for the next video. Hopefully, it will go better. Thanks so much for watching!

  • Looks great, what you had used to give a finish? Polish, wax or something else?

    • I'd probably go with chicken fried rice, just in case someone has a shellfish allergy.

  • Why use epoxy when you could easily use something less toxic. Nice rattle though

    @ingerastrup154@ingerastrup154 Жыл бұрын
    • Epoxy is faster, better in this case, and isn’t toxic when cured.
