Use gloves

This is video meditation at its finest.

Go buy a new umbrella - >:( Make a new umbrella handle and attach it to the old umbrella - ;)

beautiful

It just smells wood and quality in here! I appreciate it man, it is way better than the original handle. Would love some gentleman accessories made by you.

Awesome! Could you tell me more about the CA finish? Is it like ... "super glue"? And if so, does it stick to the wood if it is applied after mineral oil (which BTW, is it like linseed oil? for example http://www.ikea.com/ro/ro/catalog/products/00046786/ )

Mulțumesc!

E superglue. Prefer pe cel de la bison, varianta "industrial", la sticluta de 20 ml. Dar cam orice superglue de calitate, varianta lichid, ar trebui sa fie ok. Nu am avut probleme cu el cu aplicarea dupa ulei mineral, am manere in uz de 2-3 ani cu finisajul asta si sunt ok. Skidd e ulei mineral si e foarte ok, e diferit de uleiul de in, nu polimerizeaza, deci nu poate fi considerat un finisaj in adevaratul sens al cuvantului, mai mult un tratament al lemnului. Eu il folosesc in special sa slefuiesc fara praf pe strung si ca sa dau lemnului o oarecare rezistenta la umezeala. Se gaseste si in farmacii daca nu ai drum la ikea, e putin mai lichid, mai rafinat, dar merge la fel de bine.

Your work is amazing 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥

I like the style of your work 😃😃😃

This was very soothing to watch, you're very generous to make him something with your own hands.

Thats what I will do next. Don't have a lathe though ))) Sander will doo What wood you used? Oak? Ah I see. Zebrano african thing...a little soft for the handle.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing

Totally fascinating watch! Hope the brother enjoyed it as well. 😉 Thanks.

awesome

Beautiful fix and upgrade

Just repaired my broken golf umbrella handle. I laminated 2 pieces of timber from an apricot tree I cut down about 10 years ago. Beautiful grain and character. Thank you so much for the great video. My umbrella is as good as new now!!

bloody clever! ;-))

Where do you get your semi exotic woods from? All the Home Depots and Aces near me only have pine!

The Small Workshop Cool good to know! I'm thinking they may also sell nice wood at wood working stores, I'm going to go visit one this weekend to see. Thanks!

Same here, even though I live in Eastern Europe. I get nice wood mostly online, some of it from knifemaking suplies, some from old furniture and some from model making websites. For example I've got ebony form a broken ashtray I bought used, it was cracked, unusable and ugly, so it was very cheap, but I only wanted it for the wood. It had a leg/stand like a small sidetable, so plenty of wood there. I've got some nice figured olive wood in the form of a cracked cutting board. A lot of cheap indian furniture is made from rosewood.

To good hendal

*And then one of the arms break*

Hehe, no problem it was just a joke. Nice work ;)

Yea, I know, it's a low quality umbrella but some company slapped a fancy logo on it so my snobby brother in law really cherishes it.

Really nice job, I'm going to break my umbrella handle just so I can try to do this; thank you for a great idea

Very cool, repairing so rewarding!

Nice ! At 2:22, why do you put your tool on the piece like that ? I've seen that done elsewhere, but I don"t understand why.... thanks !

fast way to check if you finished rounding the stock. if it still has bumps the tool will vibrate.

What the company is turning chisel to wood that you use.

Thank you

I use two turning tools in this videos. The round one is a generic "made in germany" tool from the hardware store. The small, square one, is part of a set of six miniature turning chisels from Proxxon.

Molto bravo!

Beautiful handle! and piece of zebra wood. >:)...JP

The repair looks so much better and a lot classier than the original. It looks like it has come from a top class shop, brilliant job.

Very nicely done!

What kind of wood are you using for turning?

thank you.

It's zebra wood.

Very nice job! and an awesome tip on enlarging a hole !

very nice job done

Nicely done! I agree, an improvement for sure.

Cracking good job well done.

good job...big like. what is the last cote you use.?

Brealiant idea.

CA? it's superglue.

in laws ... *rollseyes

I know, right!

Brilliant completely covering the handle with tape while gluing it on!

I can imagine myself getting the stuff all over the place.

Yea, I've made a mess with epoxy before, so wanted to be on the safe side.

super neat result!

Thank you!

Great instructionvideo. Learned from the makers of epoxy that heat makes the repair harden and last longer 50 or even up to a 100 C unleashes the magic. Old epoxy does not harden at all. The shops have no way of telling if there is no expiring date on the products

Great build Is there a little dimple in the bottom or did u fill it?

No, it's there. Might be weird, but I kinda like it, it gives them that "factory look".

Exactly the sort of thing we need more of in the world, I know I for one would have thrown that out in a heart beat.

LOL, yea, he's a tool!

You dont like your brother in law very much do you XD

Nice vid! The way you enlarged the hole was brilliant!

Caleb Allen That's what she... Ok, it's Thanksgiving, I won't.

Your channel inspired me to buy a lathe, thank you!

Happy to hear that, you'll never regret it!

what's a" CA FINISH" ?

superglue

Wow, very cool repair!

Nice, like the sandpaper reamer.

Hehe, looks like you really 'love' your brother-in-law :) Btw, it seems you've upgraded your shop from your last video. Good for you! Keep the videos coming.

LOL, yea, the guy's a real gem. We literally paid for his college, he lived on our couch for 4 years then we gave him a job. Ten years later he acts like some kind of nobility and only visits us to show off his latest purchases. And I'm not jealous, overall we are doing better than him, we just have different priorities in life. As for the shop, I needed to put a 50 gallon fish tank to host some koi carps for the winter. And since the shop is literally in a broom closet I had to completely gut the place to make room for it. That's what I did for the last month, so I had no way to make videos. As for the "new" tools (new to me, anyway), I got them during the summer renovation I did at my parents house. Thank you!

Very well done!

Interesting to cover everything in masking tape before epoxy glue up. (Somehow, I think you have done this before - maybe, without so much tape!)

LOL, yea, I made a mess with epoxy before, so I wanted to be on the safe side this time, especially since it wasn't my umbrella.

Wow -- so much awesome stuff in this video. Looks way better than the original. Plus I love the sandpaper trick and the CA finish. That stuff was new to me, but very cool to see.

Thank you!

Nice to see you back in the workshop.

Thank you, it's good to be back!

super glue as a finish and sand paper on the dowel are good ideas

Thanks! CA is a common finish among pen turners. As for the dowel, necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.

Looks beautiful! btw nice idea to make larger hole :)

Thanks! Wanted to include something interesting for those not into woodturning.

Great video's! Keep them up. Greetings from the netherlands

Thank you Kevin!

Beautiful and great value added to it! tot o sa mai vrea cumnatul sa-i stricati lucruri :-)

Multumesc Adrian! Daca nu'i de firma tot degeaba, banuiesc ca stiti genul de om :D

cool man

Thanks!

looks great man...;-p

Thanks!

Nice video! :)

Thank you!

Pretty cool upgrade!

Thank you!

Awesome!

Thanks!

Looks great i'd say improvement more than repair. Awesome tip on enlarging a hole as well.

Agreed. I can't believe I never thought of this solution before...

Thanks, I'm thinking to make a short tip clip about that.

3:30 what is??

+The Small Workshop very nice =D

Superglue

beautiful

Thanks!

Nice one. Does the CA sticks well after applying oil?

Seems so, I've been using this method for most of my handles and they held up just fine, some of them have been through years of abuse.

Upcycling! 🤘 I like it. Glad it broke. 😉

Thank you!

Good upgrade. Now the umbrella is worth more :-) Cheers Harold

Thank you Harold!

Love that lathe, would that be suitable for pen turning?

Only if space is a serious issue, else go for the "harbor freight" style one. It has some drawbacks that will make your life miserable in time.

grate video man ! were did you buy the lathe ?

Thanks

It's a Proxxon DB 250, can be found on amazon and other places.

Finally A new vid
