Little late with this project, was supposed to be last weeks. The project is turning a pinecone into two coffee measuring spoons. The cone was dried fully in the oven before casting into epoxy.
My website - mjturning.com
Mostly watched this to see what a coffee spoon is
Same
Shame
Really??
Same
Same
"Why didn't you sleep last night?" "I was watching someone microwave a pinecone"
Not like it a bad thing 🤷🏻♂️
And what an exquisite thing it became
pinecones are awesome
You pinecone
There wasn’t even a microwave in the video.
Had so many "wtf" and "dafuq is he doing now" moments... This was very fascinating and ended in a beautiful masterpiece. Well done man!
Humble pinecone to works of art! Truly collectors pieces revealing the beauty of the pinecone in a way that would be impossible to see otherwise. A great job!
Can I just say how nice it is that you don’t talk during these videos. It’s so relaxing, so fun to kind of guess how things are gonna come out instead of being told, just letting the work and expertise speak for itself.
I could not agree more
Music - NO, talking for the sake of talking - NO, I look at KZhead videos as an educational experience. How do you add a pine cone to resin? How thick should the walls of a wooden coffee scoop be? I would have preferred to have audio teaching me. For those who don't want audio simply set the volume to mute.
@@jessetutterrow4320 I take your point, but I like the sound of the tools; all that stuff can go in the description. I do a lot of woodworking myself (nothing this complex); so I see the value of more specific instructions. But I also value these videos as relaxing experiences -- as someone who loves woodworking and art and the quietly personal aspect of creating something. And I'd hate for that to be ruined, even by more specific instructions or specs.
Are you new to KZhead? Nobody talks during these build / make / destroy vids, it's always talk free. All I watch is these types of vids, this is not unique at all.
@KingSchwarzenegger nobody talks during build videos? Mmm nah definitely not true lol regardless they didn't say anything about it being unique they said they appreciate it. Something doesn't have to be one of a kind to be good...?
Man i enjoy those video formats : no talk, no faces, just straight to the point.
No explanation at all whatsoever
and no music of questionable taste blaring over everything at 10,000 db

I’m so thankful there are people in this world with this kind of talent! 💜
That was a LOT of time, energy and effort to make two spoons. A labor of love, most definitely.
I hear you. After whittling spoons I now know the reason why we do this work. 1 labor on love 2 there is something very special about giving yourself to an object of that you’ll use and admire every day (coffee spoon). You get to smile at it and admire your time well spent every single day... in a weird way it is an expression of you and your soul. On a side note, you also start to look differently at mass produced goods. Mass produced and engineered with thought and care is different then mass produced and engineered with little thought or care.

@@aceofspades6986 That's on another comment thread. Done already.
I can't even wrap my head around how you come up with an idea like this or put it into action! Extreme talent and artistry/craftmanship. Thanks for a cool video!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
The attention to detail and craftmanship is remarkable. You made an heirloom quality piece out of a pinecone.
I've been using a regular steel spoon for my coffee this whole time like an idiot
😂😂☠️
Steel spoons are only supposed to be used when you’re preparing a hot cup of steel in the morning. It’s literally in the name
Lol

This is an extremely good mix between Chemistry, Machinery and Masonry. Well Done!
Thank you very much!
I swear I'm starting to watch woodturning videos as meditation; they're just SO SATISFYING! And calming, except when things fly off the lathe. These came out so beautiful and functional-- gorgeous idea!
I'm watching this video at 3 in the morning, and when he cut the orb in half I thought he was ruining a door handle
door handle +1
It’s in the tittle LOL plus door handles in that shape would be a nuisance
@@eclipses1003 I’ve seen many with that shape before
😅
@@jacobfang4029 I’ve seen some with similar shape but flatter. Wouldn’t the round shape make terrible grip?
Every time I watch videos like this all I can think about is how hellish the cleanup must be.
it actually doesn''t take that much, just a hand sized broom should take about 30-60 minutes if the project was really messy and got to hard to reach places it will take more. also note that he does these projects in a workshop not where he lives of course
Perhaps an idea for a future video... wood turned vacuum cleaner?
when ever i start projects all i do is clean on the go after stages so its not one big one at the end
Riiight
Shot vacs exist btw
I am in AWE of anyone who actually knows how to use all that equipment, not to mention who has that kind of imagination and skill.
I watched because I saw a Pinecone on a Lathe!! VERY Creative and beautiful
Came to see what a coffee spoon was, stayed because he put a pine cone in the microwave
You can't even tell a pine cone from a fir cone, let alone coffee spoon 😸
@@elenaherwagen3529 wow you seem really smart
Tomato Ketchup Md. 😌
@@krkrbbr smart? That's a weird way to spell asshole lol
I would have attached the pine cone to a stick and use it for a back scratcher... but there you go. (My cat would loved the back scratcher for sure.)
*looks at pinecone* "Yeah i think this will make great coffee spoons."
No... he's not really that bright. 😂
I was disappointed when I saw he gave epoxy to it...
@@TheSebastarus it doesn’t look epoxy to me 😅
Thats a scoop. Not a spoon. Americans really are something else.. Yall dont even know that liquid is not gas
@@dislikebutton966 They don't even know that firs are not pines. :-)
Those are definitely fantastic coffee ☕ spoons Matt, you did an amazing job and you're extremely creative in thinking and producing the same extreme creativeness! Well done 👏, keep up your great work Matt 👍🙂🤩!
Hola! No entiendo de herramientas ni de torneado; pero me encanta la madera, quizás porque mi papá era carpintero, y me gusta mucho lo que haces. Te felicito! Un saludo desde Argentina.
When the shavings were flying off dramatically, it reminded me of the 80s and 90s when they would show a tape or recording reel suddenly coming unwound into a big mess of black streamer.
Or that silly string stuff you get out that aerosol can 😊
All I kept thinking was, “are those resign shavings, toxic to animals and humans, ending up in a landfill?”
@@margorgogo No. They aren’t.
@@margorgogo , or coffee ?!
@@margorgogo They don't end up in landfill, they end up being ground down and used as fillers on future resin pours. And they are not toxic, they are inert.
I saw the thumbnail, and I was like “excuse me sir that is a pine cone” Beautiful outcome, though. Would definitely buy
Very cool.
Ahahahah, I was confused as well! That's actually what motivated to click the vid!
@Sweat Vortex yeah, me too
@@nerpiiisbored1472 yeah same and not complaining
Me too 😂
Very pleasantly surprised. I'm getting tired of resin everywhere, but those spoons are beautiful, and a huge upgade to the plastic ones most people have.
Exactly
Yeah, I look for wood turning videos and they are all about resin turning.
Coming out of these vids is like coming out of a hour of meditation. Life is that much more....beautiful. Wow!
It's impressive all these woodturning channels are getting recommended, lots of people viewing new things. And tons of great projects, this one is really beautiful.
Really they are doing new things
Thanks
"hey honey, wanna spoon tonight?" "Yes" "Great! I'll get my lathe."
"Well, fork off then" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are off the chain man! I can honestly say, watching these, is almost therapeutic!
He got me with the thumbnail of the pine cone in the lathe. That’s why I clicked! Interesting video!
"Dude, whatya eatin'?" *"Epoxy noodles"*
KZhead: You wanna watch a spinning pinecone? Procrastinating me: Yay, bring it!
Same I should really be doing school work right now
I feel tricked! 🤨
I didn't know what I was until I read your comment and searched for that word... Nailed me
I need to stop procrastinating, but I’ll do that tomorrow. . . *Oh wait*
It's a spruce cone.... Not pine
The world does not appreciate people like you enough! Liked and subscribed! 🙂
Holy sh*t. So much effort for a simple tool, but damn if that isn't something special. Well done!!
These are excellent, beautiful measuring spoons. When I saw the title "coffee spoons", I thought of spoons for stirring coffee, not measuring spoons. That may be a good project idea. Develop these spoons into ones with long handles.
That’s what I was thinking, too! I might call these “coffee measures.” But whatever you call them, they are beautiful! :)
Not a very good idea to use epoxy spoons in a hot beverage unless you like to flavor your coffee with molten plastic. But it would certainly work if they were made out of wood.
Yeah, I thought so too. Like, a teaspoon small enough to fit into an espresso cup comfortably. But these turned out to be really cool measuring spoons :)
Are they? The main thing about measuring is accuracy. And these dont looks like they've been craft for precise measurements. They are excellent, beautiful spoons, but you gotta cut the measuring part. They indeed are beautiful, but as someone who's profession involves "Selling stuff to baristas" I gotta say those folk are crazy when it comes to coffee. if you sell them a spoon thats supposed to have 7g and then they try it and its like 7,1g instead they get angry. You wouldnt believe what kind of sience some people can make of coffee.
@@obuw1 They're not meant to be put into the beverage - they're for measuring coffee into a coffee machine.
Damn this is just sickening... I am 65++ and I own a custom wood fabrication shop and I find it hard to imagine my employees making something this nice. I know I cannot do this as I was an electrical engineer before I retired, I have some very talented folks working for me and I cannot find faults with anything that they do but this is another level beyond the custom walnut hutch of cabinet set. Much respect to this creator. I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
I'm confused on why he used a lathe it seems like it would be quicker and easier to not use one
@@TheAdvisor6440 a lathe is very effective at making round curves
Had no idea what you were gonna make going in, but I love the end result. Your wood turning skills are inspiring!
Thank you very much!
I was looking at the thumbnail thinking "That'll be a splinter hazard if he tries to lathe it". Thank god he actually put it in resin xD
Awesome! It’s incredible to me that an artist looks at a pine cone and sees a coffee scoop. It’s even more incredible when it becomes a reality.

exactly - step 1.... perfect
Most KZheadrs would’ve made me sit through 20 minutes so I genuinely appreciate you for knowing what makes good content
I've seen several of your videos, and I've been amazed at the creativity of each thing you make. But this takes the cake!!
After all that work that went into this beautiful amazing spoon.. I Instantly knew.. I could not afford one. Lol
Legitimately one of the most creative uses of resign I've seen with a lathe.
Thanks

Sold out at the moment and I haven't made anymore for a while now, will do again in the future but not sure when
@@MattJordanWoodturning your coffee spoon is beautiful! Would love one!
I love the copper color of the resin it's super pretty 💗
When he cut the expensive pinecone doorknob in half I went 😵🥺😯
Me too 😅😊
Sane here lol
Totally!
But the spoons are pretty cool...
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Probably about 95% of this video I'm saying "how is THAT going to get us to a coffee spoon?" Probably the most asymmetrical turning I've seen on any of the projects I've seen thus far. Fascinating and creative!
Great ideas that are turned into wonderful, functional pieces. Huge respect for what you do - A true American Craftsman.
I have no clue why I just watched someone make coffee spoons for almost 7 minutes but it was pretty cool.
Honestly had no idea how you were going to get from pinecone to coffee spoon. Excellent creativity!
Him working on that block of wood in the middle felt like a story point of view jumping to a side character
WOW. The invention AND the artistry! I would love to see a whole bed frame made out of pine cones! Too gorgeous!
That is one of the most beautiful creations I’ve seen. Wow! What an imagination and skill! Thank you for inviting us along!!!
Wow! They are incredibly beautiful. Never in a million years, would I have thought of how to create that. Thank you. You have a new subscriber.
I don’t know why I’m watching this at 4:20 am when I don’t know anything about wood turning or wood crafting but I find this amazingly fascinating 😬
Lol,,me too,,had insomnia and stumbled on this at 5a.m. :))) Now I REALLY want one !!
1.31 am here...nice spoons tho.

@@MattJordanWoodturning do you sell these? I would love to buy them.
@@loismaddux4800 You probably could not afford them, considering how much work and time has been put into their manufacturing.
@@FTStratLP and how would you know that he can't afford them?
Two things: 1) Beautiful work! Really stunning! And from a pine cone!! Amazing! 2) The second time you started the off-center work on the holder for the cone-cutting, I almost had to look away. I could so easily picture myself trying that, and ending up busting my face open when I jam the tools in the piece of wood.
I'm not going to lie. At first, I was wondering what the point of the pine cone was. Wow. Blown away. Functional and beautiful.
Beautiful didn’t expect that. Great craftsmanship
OMG! I couldn't imagine how you you were going to end up with that finished product, but those were freaking incredible... And the most unique creation I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
That’s what i love about art. There’s limitless possibilities to use the ordinary and make it into something extraordinary.
Jeez, I thought coffee spoons were like teaspoons, but small - to fit comfortably into an espresso cup. But nope, apparently he meant coffee measuring spoons. And they are gorgeous :)
Those are beautiful!!!!! 😍 I Love watching you create your items. They are all such amazing pieces of art.
It was really weird seeing a drill bit “drill” into something without actually moving, lol
👉👍
It’s because the wood was moving instead of the drill. Pretty cool.
Yeah it’s kinda weird to see something like that for the first time. I’m getting my machinist certs so when we first started on the lathes I was impressed
Every day life in a machine shop..
@@sebastiencomeau3048 the experience of seeing this for the first time was weird is what he is saying... But you wouldn't know since you were born sitting and spinning on a drill bit obviously
I can't even comprehend how you look at an acorn and think that would make a really nice coffee spoon 🤯 well done Matt, amazing as always.
psst, pinecone. it's a pinecone.
Wrong tree...
Omg. Awesome job. I don't think he learned this from school, it's just plain innate talent, special gift from his Maker👍👏👏👏
Sooooo beautiful! I was a bit sceptical when I saw the pine cone at the beginning and then I was like… “OK, some commentary would be good…” after a few minutes I was so busy being fascinated by the process. The end result was worth watching. Great job!
Who in the world would have "disliked" such an ingenious and careful project design and execution? This is clever and unexpected. Well done!
Thanks Randy

Wow. Just thinking at 3:21 how this would make an incredible shifter knob for a classic car resto mod!
😆
Oooh great idea!👀 I'll mod my first car to have one like this. Imagine it in the Honda E?! Then switch up the colour of the seats
@@potatopotatoeOG Does the E have a knob? Was just thinking "Cool shifter knob, too bad my next car will be an EV." :D

I'm going to make one, great idea, merry Christmas
This may be the coolest this I've ever seen!
Brilliant mr. Jordan. Simply brilliant!
As a person who has never seen a coffee spoon, I was confused as to why it was so big. Now I know why.

It was a dildo first and he changed his mind.
The resulting pattern from the pine cone was really very stunning!..
I had no idea what a coffee spoon was. Those are gorgeous! Now I want some! Beautiful!
From the minute you put that pine cone in the epoxy I couldn't believe it. Incredible. That's some serious art there dude.

As a whole it could have been used as a door knob!

Wow. If I had a 10th of this guy's skill and passion... I would still have to drive my kids to soccer and cheer and stuff.
The wood block being turned around like on some kind catapult made me anxious. I did try twice word turning and this already made me a bit careful about turning 😄 Deepest respects and thanks to the KZhead algorithm, i guess 😂
And I thought I was cool for making a small square table out of 2x4's. Lmao. Edit: Wow, so many supportive people here. I should stop by more often :D

You are cool. It's good to be proud of completing a project especially if it's something you haven't done before. I always feel pretty accomplished after taking on a new challenge!
You’re cool in my book
😂😂😂 please know we love your video...we are just a little "stir crazy" these days
No lie that was one of the most entertaining things I have seen in a long time,, wow from a pine cone vary cool good job
the result is amazing! but it took so much effort to do such a "simple" thing, it's praiseworthy
WOW, talk about a lot of precision work and time!!! I hope the price he gets for them is worth the effort!!! 😉👍Beautiful work and outcome!💖👏🤗
I thought I would enjoy this, but that outcome was about six times cooler than I expected.
Never looked at a pine cone before and said, “I bet that would make a good spoon!”
I agreed with you!
HA! This!
😂
Lots of work but excellent ideas. Very nice project 👍
By doing this without music or commentary, we have more of the maker's experience. Very satisfying to watch, with a beautiful end product.
Looks beautiful. Prettiest coffee spoon I’ve ever seen 😊
