Celtic Knot Ornament.jpg

This is an ornament I made. It has 3 celtic knots. The main knot on the globe is a 6 strand knot and the two knots on the finials are three strand knots. If you interested in how I made it, I have also made a youtube video. You might also really enjoy the video if you're into ridiculously bad camera angles. :biggrin:

I'm generally better at acomplishing the second statement than I am the first statement!:biggrin:
 
Nicely done, Derek. The only comment I have is you need to work on the audio; I couldn't hear a word you were saying.:biggrin::rolleyes::biggrin:

So we can go with one of two stories on that. Either A.) Terrible camera work or B.) I simply didn't want the world to see my super secret method for applying horseradish mustard.:biggrin:

I promise if there is a next video, it will be better. To tell the truth it was harder making and editing the video than it was making the ornament.:redface:
 
Nice job Derek. I kept watching to see if thumbnail clippings (or other stuff :eek:) was flying out in the bandsaw scenes. I didn't see anything and it looked like you still had your thumb tips while turning.....

I really expected to see your smiling face at the end of the video. I'm more than a little disappointed that you chose remain anonymous (although we did get a brief glimpse of your profile during the drilling scenes, but not enough that anybody could match it to a poster at the post office or anything :biggrin:).

That wore me out! And who's your sound man? I didn't hear a word you said :biggrin:

Awesome ornament and, thanks for the video Derek!
 
Thanks Derek. I saw the video earlier. I was just BS ing. I forgot to put haha on the end. Sorry about that. It was interesting.
 
So the secret to those knots is to use horseradish? No wonder I have been having problems. I have been using Mayonnaise!

Peter Brown has always advocated ranch dressing, but I like my turnings to have a little more kick!:biggrin:
 
My wife saw the CSUSA catalog yesterday that has ornaments on the cover......she says it would be nice for me to make ornaments for our whole tree:eek:

There's no way I'm letting her see this one.:biggrin: Nice job!
