Woodturning - 2021 Bloopers, Outtakes and Mistakes!

Firstly I want to say a massive thank you for everyone's support throughout 2021. It is crazy to think that the channel started the year on just 14 subscribers and we are now have well over 42,000!
I wanted to make this video to spread some laughs, teaching moments, and to show that no one is perfect. I try to make my videos as clean and easy to watch as possible which does mean I remove any mistakes. So sit back, relax and get ready to laugh, while I show you all of the bits you didn't get to see throughout 2021!

Let me know what you think, and if you spot your favourite project!

This video is intended for entertainment purposes only. I am still learning and like everyone I make mistakes. This is just to show my errors, mistakes and outtakes. Stay safe while turning and let me know if you can relate to any of these 👍

I started collecting these clips about half way through the year as I was having to delete raw footage before that due to a lack of space. But rest assured I will keep every mistake from 2022 and we can have a good laugh about them this time next year!

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

While it’s never good to be happy at the expense of others misfortune, seeing this happen to professionals makes me feel a little less terrible. Things like this are practically unavoidable. I’m glad that someone can share this with the rest of us and laugh a little. Thanks so much.

On the one hand it 's funny, but on the other it 's dangerous ! A flying part from the machine can injure . Well, nothing ! Failures strengthen our spirit and make us firmer and more purposeful . Good luck Harry !

[robertriley]

I have to laugh with you as I see your blunders and recall all of mine. Happy for you and that no injuries where received. Happy turning

[ricksambacht]

Harry I have the impression that it is not your best day.
But love that you also show things that can go wrong, and that not everyone is perfect.
Thank you so much for that.

Your bloopers would be my regular content if I had a channel. As a new turner it’s comforting to know these things happen to the experts out there. Having learned everything during the pandemic from YouTube and IG one can have unrealistic expectations about the process of creating through turning. Thanks for sharing!

I just started turning this year. . Am so glad experienced turners have these things happen to. Keep up the great work.

[LS-fmzt]

Man, we have all been there. Thanks for the humor and encouragement.

Just happened upon this episode Harry, As many others have said, this is one of the most honest videos I've seen for woodturning, to newbies like myself I must admit it is appeasing to realise it happens to others to throw wood out of the chuck and snap a project in the final stages. I've dropped my bottom lip and insulted the lathe a time or two, but love how you just get back up and carry on regardless even when things go tits up. An excellent idea to produce this video and share it for the world to see 10 out of 10 to you! You would probably ammazed as how many folk you've now given heart to, including me👍👍 You haven't spilled molyslip in those jaws have you?😂😂 If you have only been turning a year or so boy do you man up and take on some whoppers! kind regards Tony.

I'm sure none of that was the least bit funny at the time but pretty hilarious now. Thanks and glad none of that caused any injuries.

You deserve the Academy Award for 2021 wood turning bloopers. We’ve all had the same things happen to us yet yours were preserved on video and have been very busy. Thanks for the laughs, and hope no “safety police” comment.

[ColeTuininga]

Thanks for sharing this video. As somebody considering getting in to turning this year, it's nice to see that things can go wrong even for experienced folks like yourself. Keep making awesome videos!

[plecrown]

Awesome. Good on you for sharing the mishaps!

[pauloasantiago]

Many thanks for this video. If this happens to an experienced professional like you, I'm much calmer now!

[JohnT]

It's good to see the mishaps, had a good laugh at the resin leaking through and the cap coming off, shows that everyone has them weather your just starting or been doing it for a long time they happen.

[gizzymeows]
