dangerous toys in the wrong hands off of me that is a complement it was electric
I came with safety goggles it was capable of cutting real wood pine anyway

miniature chair legs now if I had pursue the world Metallica powers

video series that you can find on youtube video a branch that wants to show
the show is put on hiatus my buddy Bryan new work with me on the show
job on the side with a really full length instructional DVDs
but then also to keep paying it forward which is a whole purpose of the original show we put
put free video tapes on YouTube have over 50 right now what’s the difference in

00:03:25

have you gotten from the YouTube videos really good I will dwell over
3000 hits right now and we going to do it for a couple years and up
it’s good feedback to because I learn alot from the common people put on their
1 project with the recently they said that be great product for
for a child to learn and that’s important aspect
love to my wife I was joking though she’s lucky I have
I have groupies who are 75 year old man about

00:04:00

what’s the saying catch me you been in TV a long time but I guess it would turning is it
is a relatively new activity for you how did you get into it and how do you get on TV
TV with live in in the working in button commercial in public television
Kroger 30 years and when I first start working at Rogers State University
public TV station will work now I did a show called expressions were produced shot
shot if I had a host and we go find people who expressed in Felton many different ways
and one day we did a show on Ron Fleming who the local woodturner here but also

00:04:35

also known worldwide and he was one of pioneers of wood turning in that it would
he would turn a vessel like a bowl vase with carbine
Harbor and his nature as his inspiration for the design wall
set my whole career all I’ve done is video so no working
commercial TV at the CBS affiliate I would work all day on something last a minute
minute 30 and it was here and on and yeah I want to ward things like that
can’t hang out video tape on the wall in show someone some watching Ron

00:05:10

make this piece of wood into this beautiful shape and I realize all the Sun that thing
thing is going out with him that single set on a table people walk by
Wow contributed that it’s almost like on Sunday religious experience realize
all the sudden that’s a tangible legacy there and it was awful
really need really called me and I think within a week I went out bottle lathe tools and started
just rolling wood shop and I just wanted to say right now we walk
we welcome your calls and emails in focus Evo questions about woodturning may be your own

00:05:45

experiences with working with would you can call in and talk to a girl
talk to tame your in also talk to my friend pelted 1 800 2229
29455 that’s toll free 1 800 222 w
email us at wilderness talk it Illinois a.edu
you um now the woodshed the witchery you do is it
is it very different from what I run Fleming was doing yeah uh
joke about it with the show with Vinny workshop what we do now with other woodturning

00:06:20

kind of cancer are product be the gateway drug
yeah we do the simple projects with you so complicated one but mostly the hope
purpose of the show is the show that this isn’t that scary it isn’t that hard and anyone
can do it and then once we get those people who dat there they get really into
is there a buncha turners out there horse Ohio level that
there’s no limit what you can do with her ron has a piece of the White House
election and a couple other people live in my own club have pieces of the White House

00:06:55

election so right now my stuff is in the permanent wife
collections I’m hoping one day to get a little bit higher with it now I’m trying to
really wrap my mind around this thinking of the chair legs I was making as a kid of course
horse things which are severely symmetrical objects
made of wood turning um not all like that at all
set at all and um what am I missing Harrison how would turning work
works well if you’re absolutely right with the same matter that is the majority

00:07:30

of what woodturners do they put a piece of wood on the lays the lathe
lathe actually hold on you can and Spencer you simply have a tool
you have the sharpest cutting pee and you put it up on arrest in Anderson
is the tool jelly to the would you take away the would anyone up with the b******* for a vase
shape or a honey dipper things like that but then there other people
people who are taking that instead of mounting a piece of wood do it mountain
turning in a movie on one in the pill to help for something

00:08:05

Alabama turn on how to balance part is really more complicated
complicated explain the what you see if I can I see that’s pretty easy
okay have how to know how complex is your as as your own attempts cotton is
cancer um I’ve done I try to Devil in a little bit
everything and I’m definitely master of none a just looking at the show
shells right here I’ve got the a ornamental Holiday bill worth
what’s two pieces of wood one pieces card after you turn it up while I kick it

00:08:40

my complication I love the most is like turning ugly wood
piece of wood that has a rod side to order something like that so when it starts
expanding your to Lexie skipping across s voice turning air have the time
but what I get to do at that point I get the reveal the beauty what nature actually made inside
wood and I’m kind of justice system to get out alive jesters clarify
mental picture here is the wood always rotating a rotating an offense
speed when you’re working on it is winter It’s Always rotating

00:09:15

the bigger the pizza would the more lobsided it is a slower you have the lake
the lace fit and little tiny things like a wither
ink pen and pencil pen kit and you turn the barrel off the pill
and that you have been in upper to 3000 revolutions per minute
Nevada big chocolate on the way that I was trying to get rust out
taking off the park in Inola to make it smooth out of shape
im I have a spinning at 150 RB in a minute

00:09:50

2 fast you can have a very exciting time watching that people would like raw sex shop
now I’m wondering I’ve seen some pieces of what
what would I get a now come from wood turning which just look incredible delicate
bowls and things like that and I’m just trying to imagine
how its done without use the whole thing shattering apart while you’re working on
patience and persistence practice the 3 P’s
you definitely have to have sharp tool and

00:10:25

the one differences if I was a woodworker I have a table saw a bandsaw
and I push the weather this place I can do a lot of wood that blade
before having light with wood turning you actually have a grinder that you take your tools
tool to and you sharpen the edges tool well every
305 10 minutes when you’re turning you need to go back and sharp
very very sharp tool well I just take what I call feathers of wood
it’s almost like it float in the air you take an upset just fine little bit of wood

00:11:00

um I have myself right now a little goblet I turn a few years ago
only 4 inches tall and a cup the part of the cup
Cup in the foot only bad happen twice but the stem on it is the rest of it
4 inches and it is probably 1/16 of an inch wife so
so you can do with delicate work with it what’s wrong with it

NFL hit myself in the head with Michael handle
I was doing things the wrong but it’s clubs like yours that’s real
really make it a possum opossum is a traffic if you can
you can learn a lot of wood burning techniques by watching
videos the hands on have somebody stay right next to you say no try this
move your elbow 1 inch or or go but this way RAZR to rest a quarter in

is catching the museum in a college voice and just thinking this is really a
Leah craft that that that that that that that the love people love very deeply
yes it’s the analogy I make is if I have a bad

00:20:55

bad day at work and I need to blow off steam n stuff
test the best as a woodworker I can’t run out build
bookshelf in one team but is with her I can go out and make a
KS coop for my wife Coffee Bean you know and 30
30 minutes to go and make a complete project come out at and Cicero
and it’s just a release you know you get to get all that out of you and as opposed to being
fractions of an inch in being very specific in careful how you make a cat

00:21:30

close enough is good enough cuz I want to know what you’re after
your after they’re going to see the finished product can go yet exactly where do it I’m wondering on
on on on your TV work because you haven’t been woodturning that long
doing it from childhood whatever rice NYS I guess you have even been in front of the camera
the camera that long did you think that affected how you approach the program spread
beretta some of the other maker TV shows up there exactly because I think we started doing a show
turning about 10 years witches it’s about time but

00:22:05

but at the same time there are some people who do this for a complete living
40 to 60 70 hour week job working for public TV station is it
what is the wood turning with the weekend evening and
I realize that there was a voice missing in the wood turning around to wear
we had to get people start to get people interested we had to make it
that’s why they weren’t overwhelmed ur or or scared of trying to do
project an actual think my lack of being such an expert in

00:22:40

inserting maybe a little more protein because I make mistakes on camera
camera and I leave them in the show because you can learn how to do it right
try to let you see somebody doing wrong once in awhile and I guess I am a pro at that
now that you’re also doing these workshops 11 how have those been working
working out to the TV work so I love doing workshop because it is a minute ago
is there still is no replacement for standing next to a truck
instructor and having a person say just deliver this tool that there’s a thing with the light

00:23:15

what’s the latest we call the dance you literally have to sway your body from side to side
how to make certain that you might be working on a hobbit which is this the end
embellishment which is only a quarter inch wide but you literally are swing in your body probably
lease a foot have to to feet and that doesn’t really late sometimes on
I’m fine, because of the angle a cami can’t tell how far someone to move
what’s happening with the tool time and yeah I
yeah I love doing hands on in and the truth is I always come out of burning something to myself

00:23:50

00:34:20

shop supply obviously as to Jess that but does the next part of it with you
what you were talking about I was a little Institution call the dream shopping
more about that what Dennis Coleman are found burned
President was together with some friends I actually some Ski Club
Ross in around talking about their love for woodworking and one guy should we all want love
I’d love to have a 20 inch planer red love to have that big machine but I can’t justify
defiant and I would use that be nice to be nice to be able to s*** so that’s what you get

00:34:55

can you give me the idea that create a space
where we can share the different equipment and you could join become a member
remember of the dream shop and would give you an access at last
150,000 dollars worth of equipment in the dream shop
how do participants today all the all help finance this year
yes YouTube a membership fees upfront and that use you a membership for life
if you own that membership there a number of companies should price

00:35:30

pride something similar and they would just rented time on
on the equipment or so much time in the shop in the car
the customer have no skin in the game shows a tour of the equipment nope no big deal
deal but we wanted to have his responsibility in ownership so you actually
Jackson become an owner Anna part of the sea you dream shop and
and that it gives you access to all the equipment numeral table
table saws over 6000 dollars for the Clemson a dream shop Tucson

00:36:05

to CNC routers there’s an approved spray booth
any Festool to let you think I was in the dream shop for your use so it just
juice makes a lot of sense now um you coming to come to the dream shopping
shop if your member of it usually see a group of people there people working on their owners

Woodturning has been an art since around 1300 BC when the Egyptians first developed a two-person lathe, but it’s only been popular in the United States for the last few decades. This hour on Focus, we’ll talk about woodturning and the satisfaction of making something tangible.

Tim Yoder discovered woodturning while working as a television producer. When he started, he says he tried to, unsuccessfully, teach himself how to make a turned bowl. It was when he got involved with his local woodturning club that he learned the trade. When his station was thinking up a new show, he pitched an idea for one to do with his new hobby. For the first half of this hour on Focus, host Jim Meadows talks with Yoder about working with wood, being thrust on camera and making mistakes on national television.

We'll also hear this hour from Mike Van Pelt, lead instructor for the CU Woodshop. The woodshop is the brainchild of a group of hobbyists who dreamed up a woodworking wonderland known as the “Dreamshop.” Meadows talks with Van Pelt about teaching woodworking and the importance of passing on something tangible.
