Thank you! Working with skateboard wood is super fun. Most are of high quality and turn really well to reveal unusual color patterns. Michael

I am not aware of any tutorials using digital calipers to make the segments. Best thing to do is to create some kind of a jig so you have more control over each cut. Another workaround when gluing up the rings is to just glue halves of the ring and then use either a drum sander or jig on the table saw to cut the edges square. That way when going the ring halves together, you’ll have a perfect match

What’s a turbo planer? Have any pictures?

Yes, I cut the wedgie on my own CNC. Works perfectly (most of the time) and thanks for the compliment

Glad to hear vise grips have worked for you! I usually just have the exposed screw break off. Cheers, Michael

Thanks 🙏

Thank you very much!

That’s works too, I’ve occasionally used a tack cloth as well. Cheers and have a great day! Michael

DM me! My email and numbers are the same. M

I sure do and have before. I love to experiment with different tools and techniques. Have a great day, Michael

I never have! I want the wood pores open as much as possible to allow more wax penetration. Although I’d be willing to give it a try sometime! Thanks for watching, Michael

The chef currently using it finds the bowl just perfect. Thanks for the kind comment

Thank you! You too!

Wow, thank you! 🙏

Mindy, I’m so happy you like to bowl. And thanks for taking the time to comment. Michael

Wayne, Well thanks! I really appreciate the comment! Michael

You’re welcome and thanks for watching. Outdoors would be a good idea. I had sawdust flying everywhere.

Yes, for a 15/32 shaft you would want to drill a 1/2 inch hole. Epoxy is a bit stronger when it has more “room“ in the joint. I also roughed up the end of the shaft a bit with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper. That will allow the epoxy a little extra bite on the metal. Good luck and thanks for watching. Michael.

Agreed 👍🏻

Looking forward to the announced move back……….

👍

Brad, thank you! Michael

Ken, if you're referring the metal medallions on the bottom. This is where I got them: Gary Anderson SignatureMedallions.com 619-303-2876 Cheers, Michael

Dennis, I didn't have any plans to follow. I just started with how large I wanted the opening to be and worked to the back where the 4" hose was attached. It was originally built for a smaller lathe so it was modified with some spacers to make it taller for my Harvey lathe (12" swing). If you send a message to sapperwoodworking@ G M A I L . C O M, (without the spaces in GMAIL.COM) I can send you some better pictures.

Cassandra, you obviously have a great eye for art! 😉 😉 thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful day! Michael

Bob, thanks for the compliment amd taking the time to comment. Have a great day, Michael.

Being my first carving project, I decided to go with the cheapie discs which were three different shapes for about 20 bucks total. The carbide ones I saw were $60 each. Kuzall does look like a great brand should I ever choose a better, longer lasting disc. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you! Cheers!

I really didn't need to leave that much of the center "tailstock" portion inside the bowl. This was green turned and if I remember I was just curious how much that piece might warp as the bowl dried out. Really nothing more than that! Appreciate the question and happy turnings.

@@SapperWoodworking Thank you very much for the answer! I like the idea! It really gives a great sense for the warping!

Why thank you!

Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comment! So glad you liked the project art! Michael

Go for it! And you’re welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks! Time to Level Up the Woodturning

Thanks! Michael

Thanks for taking the time to comment & you’re welcome.

Thanks and I appreciate the comment!

Why thank you very much!

Thank you

Sure thing! Here's my guide: Step 1: Find a magical bowling ball tree and pluck your desired ball shape from its branches. Step 2: Capture a unicorn to assist with core selection - their expertise in magical spheres is unparalleled. Step 3: Seek out the most elusive dragon for coverstock selection; they hoard the rarest and most potent bowling ball materials. Step 4: Convince a wizard to drill the perfect holes using their mystical precision. Step 5: Merge all components under a full moon while chanting ancient bowling alley incantations. Step 6: Dip the ball in liquid stardust for the ultimate finishing touch. Step 7: Test it out by challenging a genie to a bowling match - their cosmic insights will determine if your ball is truly custom made! Remember, the more fantastical the process, the more legendary your custom bowling ball will be! Great, Best, Today: Michael

Semi retired! And Sapper is actually my given surname! How are you familiar with the term Sapper?

@@SapperWoodworking I was a 12/21B in the military that is the Sapper I was referring to never heard that name outside of the military. Certainly never heard it as a proper name. Pretty cool.

@@adamsoutdoors Thank you for your service!

@@SapperWoodworking my pleasure, thank you!!

Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind words. Cheers, Michael

Stephanie, smiles all around! Thanks for the compliment and taking the time to comment! Michael

Not a combat engineer! Sapper is actually my given surname. Thanks for the compliment. Take care, Michael.

@@SapperWoodworking Ah, okay! Cool name then.

Agreed! I had mixed six different test combinations to find a color that I like best. I debated going with a more royal blue, but ended up choosing aqua. Definitely want to try more of a red color next time. Cheers, Michael

Thank you! It’s one of my favorites. Happy New Year! Michael
