Wood Turned Segmented Jingle Bell
For this year’s Christmas ornament project, I have made a wooden jingle bell. I made this jingle bell out of a maple tree that was cut down in front of my father-in-law’s house in 2017. This wood is now dry and it is a very striking, very clear, very light colored maple. It cuts and turns beautifully. I built a segmented sphere out of two half segmented bowls. I turned the inside of these separately. I made a small maple ball to go on the inside of this bigger sphere. I then glued the two halves together with the ball inside. I turned the whole object into a 6 inch sphere on the lathe. Finally, I cut an “X” pattern into this sphere on the CNC machine and this formed the jingle bell. It jingles with a very deep woody sound.

Ayyyyyy
Hey frank. So glad to see you. Plus I’m first ?
I was looking forward to this year’s video 🙂
Yea… more ornaments.
I wish I had a shop like yours. Its so amazing to see how much you can do with a shop like that, and the skills to go along with it.
Merry Christmas!
Yay, my Sunday just got soooooo much better ☺️ Your chuckles always make me smile!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun, it is to watch, this video today, HEY!
Simply amazing
Merry Christmas ?
Great video Frank. I like your channel ?
Disney prop maker: "Guys, I've found the coolest design for the next Death Star!"
The best part of December is Frank's ornament video! And the kids are getting so big! They probably hear that all the time now lol
I love it , I have a big slab of Sugar maple and I will try to duplicate this, great going Frank ,and the grand kids sure are getting big.
Amazing wor ??
Beautiful, creative and clever work, as usual! And boy do I know that 'this next step can screw up all the work I've done so far' pressure. I suppose a drill press and a back saw could cut the slots if one doesn't own a CNC. Hello from Bend!
6:47 is that the first few notes of jingle bells i can hear
Excellent work man
Once again awesome work Mr. Howarth 🙂
?
Oh the joy on your kids face!!! 😀
Yap, you have some teenagers! Nice bell!
I'm just impressed by your consistent ability to find the footage you made 2-5 years ago for videos like this.
Really neat, Frank.
Turned out beautiful, Frank! Thanks for sharing the process.
I'll take a dozen….Happy Holidays Frank !

Hello, but what exactly is this toy for? sorry is that this is the first time I see something like this ..,!
Another ornament done! WOW Frank how many years I've watched your videos and your kids grew SO MUCH! (I say that every time I see them haha) Happy holidays!
One year has passed again….time just flys by it seems….
❤️❤️ it!!!!
7:57 that moment when you realize frank didn't put any finish on the ball inside… and never will ?
Frank, are these also a way to documemt how your kids grow up year by year?
Wow, looks like X-Box logo! Nice! ;))
I’m glad you able to put the small grinder to use.
Tres cool.
A merry Christmas to you and your family

Beautiful! I am asking myself, "Why was I expecting a bell shape?"
The closeup turning shots are really nice
As much as I love the shop projects, the crafts are what drew me to the channel. Well done.
Thank you, Frank… Merry Christmas…
Happy Holidays to the Howarth family. Thanks for all your videos this year.
