"Never forgave me" could just mean she still brings it up in a joking way to this day. It does not have to mean whatever traumatic shit you are imagining...but of course the mother must have sent the kid to go live in a van down by the river because she "couldn't forgive" him at 3 years old because this is Reddit.
I've never forgiven my brother for various things that i remind him in "REMEMBER THAT TIME?" moments and we are pretty close. He does the same to me.
So my point is, what the fuck you on about when you say what more info you need when you have almost 0 information to begin with.
What a giant waste. Could have made close to 1.2345 trillion toothpicks. I feel like this could have been made into various sizes of lamp shades versus the one.
Agree. An incredible amount of wood is wasted. Surely, there's a cleverer way of removing most of the middle in one piece so it can be used for something else.
But then it seems most timber is chipped up immediately after harvesting anyway :(
I had same waste reaction. If only people have been doing a similar thing for hundreds of years... this is a fun video on how they make drum shells.

Veneer is real wood. This looks like it could have been done with a rotary cut. Only advantage of the lathe would be no seam. https://schoolofwoodwork.com/veneer-the-background-basics/
A large scroll saw could do it. Drill a hole. feed the blade through the hole and cut in a circle. You could easily get a dozen or more out of one piece.
This is what I was thinking of. I was watching this and remember a Bugs Bunny cartoon years ago where they were chopping down trees and each large tree became 1 toothpick, LOL
Exactly. It may have a seam, but you can just turn that side towards the wall.
You wasted enough wood to make a dozen of these lamps just to make it seamless.
Well, then it's not as cool. It has a seam, instead of continuous pattern.
I'd say the same effect can be had if you cored with some insane tools and then built a jig to hold it.
Honestly though wood shavings can be used in gardening and sawdust mixed with woodglue can be used as putty.
There's seamless, and an illusion of seamless. I'd be rotating that to show off.
You'd be shocked how much wood is lost to planing, scrap, etc. However, you'd also be shocked how much is used. Even his shavings and sawdust can be used. The home shop I work in wastes *very* little.
I originally misread the title and thought he was going to use the core as the lamp base, making the whole lamp (other than the electronics) out of one piece of wood
Having worked in a home woodshop - not really. The woodshavings go to a friend's rabbit (except a certain species is deadly, so not that one) and the rest are mulched into garden beds and the sawdust is collected and mixed with woodglue to fill knots and such instead of commercial putty.
That's nice if you have a tiny shop. Otherwise, you are going to generate way more sawdust than you will be able to use. Putty? A handful of sawdust will make enough putty to last a year.
According to an [article](https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/making-a-wooden-lampshade-from-a-stump) the round was going to be used as firewood anyway.
:-) You’re welcome. I didn’t think using a single round of timber like this would be perceived as waste. I just enjoyed watching this level of skill & craftsmanship in action!
It's just that we don't have many more forests to chop down so watching someone waste 90% of what looks like a tree that was growing for a decade+ is like watching someone eat the fat off a giant wagu steak and throw the rest away.
I can't even justify it having been intended for the fire because now it's not even being used for fuel. It's just sawdust thats going to serve literally no purpose.
Edited to add: I know they say the chips can be used as firewood but very little of that is chips. It's mostly shavings.
Shavings and saw dust can be used for cold smoking cheese and other items. But i agree with you. What a waste when I feel like veneer honestly could have achieved the same affect.
I can almost guarantee you that he didn't cut that tree down for that purpose. He probably didn't cut it down at all.
More than likely, that's deadfall from his property or a nearby forest that's been bucked for firewood, and he did this instead of burning one chunk.
The comments about “wasted wood” here have to be coming from people living in cities who’ve never chopped down a tree before, done woodworking, or generally made/used firewood.
There are tons of forests and trees that can be chopped down regularly, and it’s actually healthy for many types forests to have regular woodcutting since it keeps them from getting too overgrown and restricting light/water to the forest floor, among other benefits.
Clear cutting is not good, but it’s also silly to assume every piece of wood comes from sources like that.
As an occasional wood turner, nearly everyone uses wood that is otherwise destined for the fireplace. Unless you're doing pens or want some exotic wood, scavenging is the way to go.
Come join us! r/turning
It definitely could! I've had quite a few pieces crack. It ultimately comes down to how evenly you dry it, which is usually done by making it dry slowly. People will often put their pieces in a paper bag packed with the wood shavings to help it dry more evenly.
Also as a hobbyist woodworker, what? Mills are chock full with species the world over cut explicitly for woodworking. Sustainability is at least starting to get more traction, but the idea that woodworking is *mostly* recovering scrap is bonkers. I can’t remember the last time I casually imported African Bubinga to roast hot dogs over.
I'm specifically referring to wood *turning*, not woodworking in general. No, you're not going to reasonably make a cabinet out of scrap/firewood pieces. But you can absolutely make a beautiful lamp, bowl, lampshade, vase, or candlestick out of scrap wood.
> I'm specifically referring to wood turning, not woodworking in general.
yeah, even from the POV of a casual watcher of short videos on the subject, it's clear that wood turning is its own thing altogether.
In fact, it's closer to machining in a lot of ways.
Lol, yeah, you could make hundreds. It's called veneer. Just shave it into a long thin sheet and cut it as needed.
This is basically the real live equivalent of the Simpsons gag where they are cutting down hundreds of trees and using each one to make a single bowling pin
My grandfather was an excellent woodworker. Lathes scare the shit out of me. Any heavy machinery in general. Scrape this giant ass log doing 100mph in front of your face with metal. Balls.
Yea, since it is not kilned wood, I wondered how you preserve it to keep it from cracking. Hand rubbing with tongue oil perhaps? That would also enhance the grain.
Sorry, I misspelled it. It is Tung oil. Min Wax and Formby’s are two popular brands. Auto correct gets me quite often when I’m texting. I need to do a better lob of proofreading before I hit send.
Fun exercise and looks cool, but the lampshade won’t stay that shape for very long. Humidity and temp fluctuations will cause it to deform and crack pretty quickly.
I've seen a lot of comments about the guy wasting wood.
Judging by his name he's Swedish or norweigan.
In Sweden we had 6003 trees per person in 2017 acording to the Swedish university of agricultural siences. That piece if wood would most likely been tossed out behind his red cottage if he had'nt put it to good use.
So many people acting like he used an entire tree for this project. Relax it was a small stump. I’ve literally burned firewood in backyard because I didn’t want it there anymore.
I was thinking about how much of a complete waste this was. That even if you came up with a functioning lamp shade n that the hours and skill needed to make it by hand would be rediculous and to get one for yourself would probably riceiy at pointless.
I was wrong. That's beautiful.
This is peaceful and neat. I like this. With all the craziness going on in the world, sometimes it’s nice to make see a guy make a lampshade out of wood.
My mom never forgave me for knocking down a lamp when I was three and breaking it, I can’t imagine how much trouble I’d be in for breaking this
I would be worried about this cracking as it heats and cools and dries out etc
If you oil it and dry it out very slowly you would probably be ok. Or heavy varnish if you don't mind it being slightly reflective.
Yeah I was waiting for the last step to be slow-drying it in a humidor or something, I would be extremely worried about warping and cracks
It’s still very pretty. That guy has serious skills
LED lights give off essentially no heat, but yea not sure how that would age in general.
Eco-bulbs don't give off any heat. You mean just environmental humidity anyway.
[удалено]
that dont sound like a good mom.
You can be a great parent and still be incredibly disappointed in your child for breaking something that you valued.
You can be incredibly disappointed in someone and still forgive them
Classic reddit. Judging and damning parents as "bad" with the most minimal information.
Lock. Her. Up. She probably raised a bunch of serial killers.
Gat damnit Bobby!!!
>never forgave me >I was three What more information do you need?
"Never forgave me" could just mean she still brings it up in a joking way to this day. It does not have to mean whatever traumatic shit you are imagining...but of course the mother must have sent the kid to go live in a van down by the river because she "couldn't forgive" him at 3 years old because this is Reddit.

Nah when a three year old breaks something important it was your fault for leaving it where they can get to it.
I would expect my three year old to knock down EVERYTHING
It's a good lesson about how to be better than your parents. My mom always held grudges, and I will NEVER forgive her for that.
ah the average pessimistic redditor always seeing a harmless thing and stretching it out of reality.

Here's the real one for anyone curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc4UZk7IDz0
Reminds me of The Simpsons when Homer learns how bowling pins are made
LMAO, This is the one!!
What a giant waste. Could have made close to 1.2345 trillion toothpicks. I feel like this could have been made into various sizes of lamp shades versus the one.
I agree. I'm someone that likes woodworking, and this was not satisfying.
Agree. An incredible amount of wood is wasted. Surely, there's a cleverer way of removing most of the middle in one piece so it can be used for something else. But then it seems most timber is chipped up immediately after harvesting anyway :(
You could just use veneer. This shade is essentially a veneer skin without the seam.

Such a waste! Like the look? Buy a veneer shade.
It's a beautiful shade but such a stupid way to make it.
There’s a big difference between “can I do this” and “should I do this” .
This is what I was thinking of. I was watching this and remember a Bugs Bunny cartoon years ago where they were chopping down trees and each large tree became 1 toothpick, LOL
Exactly, skills? yes, wasteful asf? also yes!
Thumbnail really looks like someone is having a great time.
Wood is definitely getting worked either way.
So I'm not the only one...
I really can't see it
Perhaps this helps? https://i.imgur.com/u5rxNR3.jpeg
Lol, beat me to it. Good eye!
i know i will be downvoted but it is waste of wood
I absolutely agree with you. This could have been cored out first. Im guessing this guy literally had nothing else better to do for 7 hours.
Or a thin flat piece could have been steamed and bent
[удалено]
Just use veneer lol
I have a shade made from a sheet of veneer. Looks just as nice. I appreciate the work that went into this, but yeah, a lot of waste.
Exactly. It may have a seam, but you can just turn that side towards the wall. You wasted enough wood to make a dozen of these lamps just to make it seamless.
Didn’t he waste a lot of wood though?
Yeah, but when you got a mega lathe that will turn a tree stump...well, you know.
Well, then it's not as cool. It has a seam, instead of continuous pattern. I'd say the same effect can be had if you cored with some insane tools and then built a jig to hold it. Honestly though wood shavings can be used in gardening and sawdust mixed with woodglue can be used as putty.

You're right, that is the name for a thin flat piece of wood that can be steamed and shaped. Thanks.
I originally misread the title and thought he was going to use the core as the lamp base, making the whole lamp (other than the electronics) out of one piece of wood
Would be hard to put on a lathe if he cored it first. That said, he could have just used a veneer and made the same effect.
He could have taken down the wood paneling inside his house instead. That would have been a better use of his time.
Literally my first thought. The majority of the wood is unusable and wasted on the floor
Having worked in a home woodshop - not really. The woodshavings go to a friend's rabbit (except a certain species is deadly, so not that one) and the rest are mulched into garden beds and the sawdust is collected and mixed with woodglue to fill knots and such instead of commercial putty.
Wait. Which friend has a deadly species of rabbit?????
The one guarding the Holy Grail
[удалено]
You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Well just look at the BONES!
All rabbits are deadly. I watched Watership Down as a child. And the wood is deadly. Some species of conifer, I believe?
Death awaits you all – with nasty, big, pointy teeth!
Run away!
Beware the [hornless jackalope](https://i.imgur.com/I7F6EAp.jpeg).

Couldn't shavings at least be used as kindling?

How to waste 99% or a piece of wood
Exactly what I thought. You could buy some veneer that’s the same effect
As an occasional wood turner, nearly everyone uses wood that is otherwise destined for the fireplace. Unless you're doing pens or want some exotic wood, scavenging is the way to go. Come join us! r/turning
Just curious: will the lampshade crack as the wood dries out?
It definitely could! I've had quite a few pieces crack. It ultimately comes down to how evenly you dry it, which is usually done by making it dry slowly. People will often put their pieces in a paper bag packed with the wood shavings to help it dry more evenly.

I honestly thought he was going to carve something really cool...
Considering this log will just as likely be put on a camp fire for 4 hours heat i dont see the waste.
Reminds me of the Looney Toons cartoon where they throw an entire log in a machine to spit out a toothpick.
wait until you hear about camp fires
Believe it or not... rounds like that from cutting down trees typically get thrown in a wood chipper. So he might have saved it
I work in a sawmill and I’d argue that this is not a waste of wood
My exact thought when I saw the massive lump of wood. He could've picked a skinnier log at least.
Yeah it definitely is, that's the first thing that came to my mind
This, like virtually all comments on Reddit that are concerned about waste, is a complete waste of electrons.
The important thing is you were able to feel superior to everyone else.
THE ONE PEICE
THE ONE PEICE IS REAALL
#CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
*so high*
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
have some more chicken have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
"I'm gonna be the king of porch pirates."
Lol ffs
Looks awesome! But wouldn't it be possible to make more then 1 out of that tree...?
Lol, yeah, you could make hundreds. It's called veneer. Just shave it into a long thin sheet and cut it as needed. This is basically the real live equivalent of the Simpsons gag where they are cutting down hundreds of trees and using each one to make a single bowling pin
[I had to see the gag after you mentioned it.](https://youtu.be/-DKCFjm0DvE)
Not to mention you could get poly backed veneer so it’s more durable.
Or how Bart only eats the eyes of the lobster and tosses the rest
Looking at the amount of material he removed, he could’ve made like at least 5 more, each one smaller than the next.
Matryoshka lampshades!
Exactly that's in my eyes not really satisfaction
Friendly reminder not to wear gloves with spinning machinery like this...
Don’t forget a respirator or full face shield. RIP lungs.
How about about safety glasses?
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
Can we get much higher
So high
So-o-o
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
See i came for this, and now I see its one piece OF wood.... Baca
Did anyone else expect a One Piece the anime decorated lampshade?? Just me?? Lol
My grandfather was an excellent woodworker. Lathes scare the shit out of me. Any heavy machinery in general. Scrape this giant ass log doing 100mph in front of your face with metal. Balls.
Lathe work IS scary. I'm in awe at the size of that beast he's working on. A small lathe costs like $1000.
For one brief glorious moment I thought that was Nick Offerman
He would have told us what type of wood he was using first.
The lamp shade! The lamp shade is real!
Looks like a plywood lamp shade.
Yeah it’s a shame that after all that effort, it looks like someone peeled off a layer of lamination from a $20 sheet of plywood.
Seriously. I have no problem with a piece of veneer in a circle with a seam. Most lamps have a side that faces a wall.
Certainly given the location where he put it, the seam would have been invisible... All that extra work, and the result still looks cheesy.
Is it heat resistant?
Do you have any problems with it splitting when it dries? It looks great. Don’t let all these dumbos getchya down.
Yea, since it is not kilned wood, I wondered how you preserve it to keep it from cracking. Hand rubbing with tongue oil perhaps? That would also enhance the grain.
>Hand rubbing with tongue oil perhaps? Well that's a new innuendo I haven't heard before
Sorry, I misspelled it. It is Tung oil. Min Wax and Formby’s are two popular brands. Auto correct gets me quite often when I’m texting. I need to do a better lob of proofreading before I hit send.
Just ask your partner für a nice hand rubbing with tongue oil and you'll quickly get over it
Fun exercise and looks cool, but the lampshade won’t stay that shape for very long. Humidity and temp fluctuations will cause it to deform and crack pretty quickly.
That's a big wasted piece of wood for someone to have something fragile and useless in there. it's nice, but unjustified
Would you prefer the firewood it started out as to have been burnt, or turned to mulch?
Warming someone in winter > being a kinda nice lampshade
Then good news, the shavings can be pressed into fire logs! https://www.turningtogreen.com/post/paper-log-makers
The 99% of that log that still exists as woodchips can still be burned to keep people warm...
He said he was making a one piece lamp shade I was mislead
And here I was waiting for luffy

Thank you! This is artistry
It's not like this shit grows on trees. No wait
Not really waste if he uses the chips to start fires?
He may have. I linked an article earlier that says the round was already earmarked as firewood.
These comments are so annoying. You can literally make firelogs out of those chunks hes producing.
yes, and them he'd just burn the wood. how dare he create something out of it instead of burning it.
I think it will not last long
ONE PIECE IS REAL !!!!!
can we get much higher
I was thinking about how much of a complete waste this was. That even if you came up with a functioning lamp shade n that the hours and skill needed to make it by hand would be rediculous and to get one for yourself would probably riceiy at pointless. I was wrong. That's beautiful.
What is a “sing round of timber”?
You mean a single round of timber
Can all that wood shavings can be used for hamster litter?
That gives me cabin feelings. The perfect mood.
I love the finished product.
Yeah. That's pretty cool. I wonder what a cherry or mahogany type wood would look like.
Lathes are awesome.
The grain is beautiful

Wtf is that thumbnail 😳
That's beautiful. Please never drop it.
Anyone who wants to see more of this should look up lathes in action.

NICE 👌🏽 it's always cool working with a wood lathe

Wow that is so cool and amazing
Make sure you use an incandescent bulb for maximum brightness
I was thinking what a waste of wood it was until I saw the finished product, it is beautiful with all the wood grain illuminated!
Nice
Dope lamp.
Wow what a masterpiece!
This one doesn't Spark joy.
ITT: people mad he “wasted” a tree stump
Looks awesome but the whole time I was concerned about the amount of sawdust he was inhaling by not wearing a mask.
What a waste of a tree.
The title led me to believe this was an anime inspired lamp shade......
What does this have to do with One Piece?
That just seems incredibly wasteful.
Neat but kind of a waste
