Finally, another brother who uses easy wood tools to turn! Nice job on the bowl!
Love them, i dont understand all the hate, Use what you like lol Thanks so much for watching and sharing
I would have never thought to glue of some wood. Here I am buying good wood to practice my bowl turning when I can glue up wood to practice on. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for checking it out
Super idea for starting out. Even these projects can become a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out
I love the bowl,i,'ve made these in the beggining,and I make it easy on myself, and use a mortis bit to cut into the center,less to cut out,and a 1-1/8 inch mortis bit as a mortis,and a scew chisel to match my nova chuck jaws....
Great input, would definitely reduce cut out with the bit, Thanks for watching and sharing
Dear Sir; i have enjoyed your video on tuning a bowl. And so far I have turned four, however, only two made to the finishing stage and beyond. two of them were the victim of a snag. Thankfully no one but the bowls and pride were injured. Once again thanks for the video, it has been a great help.
Thanks for sharing Harry, appreciate you checking out my video and hope the turnings get easier and better for you, All The Best
Well done, you know my lathe once helped me rescue a family of snowmen from a fallen branch in my yard. They liked it so much they come each Christmas and hang around my house.
+Aaron Miller lol, I am looking forward to turning some of those this year as well, thanks for checking it out
Most videos show just the turning and never the initial set up. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Appreciate the kind words, glad it helped, All the Best Colby
Very nice. I enjoyed this and I have never turned wood before. Thanks for posting. Douglas
+RetroWeld Thanks Doug, Greatly appreciate you checking it out
I'm a beginner and it is not as easy as I thought, however I am very stubborn and don't plan on quitting. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Never give up, and thanks for this, I apologize for the late response but appreciate your comment and Kindness
great way to refine the skills while working with inexpensive materials. I will use this for certain.
Go for it! thanks so much for watching
My friend turns and sells yarn bowls made from 2x6" timber put together exactly the same as you made your bowl. It is the only stuff he makes them from. Great semi-tutorial my friend, wish I had half your skill 😎
Thanks so much for your kindness, and support, I am sure you have awesome skills, Appreciate the view
Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t tuned my first bowl yet. Practice Practice
Appreciate your support by watching
With you cutting so much off one end to square the blank, if you had looked at the pieces of wood before gluing them together you could have left the knots and other defects on the waste end, and avoided having to work around them when deciding which end to hollow out. Being a frugal Englishman though I might even have tried to make up four layers instead of three by checking the overall length before cutting the plank. You might have ended up with a bowl only 6.3/4" or even 6.1/2" diameter, but nearly 2" deeper! I was surprised how clean these carbide tools cut such a soft wood however, with no obvious tear out, so well done!
So great tips and advice Tony, thanks so much for sharing , I appreciate the feed back
This was exactly what I needed to get started. Thanks!
Glad it would help you, would love to see your work if you share on social media please share your social media so we could check out your work, thanks again for watching all the best
Thank you for this tutorial. I am not a turner but appreciate a good tutorial.
+Tony Banner Thanks for checking it out Tony, I am Not a Turner either , lol, Scroll Sawing is my thing, but trying to expand a little, and learn all I can, I ain't getting any younger, Thanks for checking it out
I enjoyed watching your video and I like the way you explained everything so easily.
Glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for your kindness, all the best
Nice video. I just got my first lathe today, got it set up and put a piece of bass wood on and just tested several different cutting tools to see how the work. I was a little nervous just because lathes can be dangerous, but I still had fun turning something square into something round. I've done a lot of wood working, but I think this will make it more fun. Thanks for the tips, I'll try them out on my next piece.
Thanks for checking it out and happy turning, I would love to see some of your work if you would like to share on my FB or other social Medias
Terrific instructions.
Thanks so much for watching
That is a nice simple and helpful video. I bought a lathe years ago and am starting to play around with it during the lockdown.
Thanks so much, appreciate the feed back
That pine bowl came out great Sterling. And you did a great job explaining each step. Great videography as usual.
+Ted Alexander Thanks Ted, hoping someone out there may get some use from it
Nice video. I'm nervous to buy my first lathe but videos like this make me really want to go grab one.
+BaronZombie Thanks for checking it out and the kind words, Just take your time, and watch a lot of videos, It's helps, Carl Jacobson is on of the Best
thank you sir for your time and sharing. I am new to wood turning with some experience in high school shop and now 50 and truly want to learn and enjoy my new lathe I got for Christmas. I turned a few pens and wanted to turn a bowl. I cut and glued ash wood for blank and becoming very frustrated with catches and such. ( I am also now scared to death of the scew chisel.) I am so happy to find this video as I feel more comfortable practicing and not as intimidated. Again thank you so much for sharing love it and subscribed sir.
Thanks for the feedback, and hope you do get back into turning, its a lost art and wonderful trade/hobby to be in, so relaxing to me, hope all works out for you and feel free to share your work on any of my other social medias , All the Best Jeff
This is absolutely the way to go for a beginner turner like me. When you fail, and we will fail as we learn, it's a lot less heartbreaking to throw away a piece of wood that was pretty much free, other than a 100 dollar slab.
And if you happen to be active in live fantasy role-playing, or know someone who is, wooden bowls, plates, cups, chalices, goblets and all kinds of stuff, even from cheap pine, is actually useful. :)
takes away some of the hurt when we fail to use cheap wood lol, it is helpful to me in the learning process, thanks so much for watching
I used this video today to help turn my first bowl- Thanks, Sterling!
Thank you for taking the time to watch, feel free to share your work, all the bests
Nice job showing the process. I am planning to do a few bowls myself, very soon!
+Darbin Orvar I hope you will be doing a video, would love to see your take on Turning, Thanks for checking it out Linn
Nice basic walk-through. Pine bowl looks great!
+Rob Harrod Thanks Rob for checking it out
Thanks for sharing, just purchased my first lathe and I'm looking forward to learn the craft...
Its fun and a rabbit hole that never ends lol, Thanks for checking it out
Just got hold of some oak and want to try bowl cutting, so a great video Stirling, can't wait to get started.
So happy this helps, and please share your work, would love to see what you come up with
My dad gifted me his old Craftsman lathe last year when they moved, and I've been a little intimidated by it, so I haven't used it at all. Well, for Christmas this year my husband got me a scroll chuck and a set of carbide tipped tools, so now I am dying to play around with the lathe. I don't have any blanks, or any fancy wood, but I do have a lot of pine scrap laying around the shop. This is perfect. I already have some 2x8 boards glued and clamped to give it a whirl. I don't have a band saw, so I'll have to turn it square, but that's ok. I think it will still work, just take a little longer. Thank you so much for putting this video on here!
if you have a table saw, you can tilt the blade 45 degrees and cut the corners off as well. super exciting for you, please feel free to share you work on my other social medias , Thanks for sharing
@@SterlingsWoodcrafts I don't have one of those either haha. But I did try it. Unfortunately I didn't make a big enough tenon the first time and it broke free. So I turned a new tenon but I'd already gotten pretty deep in the bowl, and ultimately cur through the bottom. It flew off the lathe and split completely in half lol. But I learned a LOT during the process, and didn't waste any good hardwood in the process. Thanks!
Well done Sterling, a great video for this wannabe turner, I have all the kit now but haven't yet started to try turning. For a beginner you have given a nice easy listening tutorial without complications, also noticed just how much of the turning you did with just a square carbide tool that are often poo pood by some experienced turners, glad to see you using it as I have also bought one LOL! cheers, Tony.
lol, As a hobbyist , i have not had time or took the time to learn traditional tools, The Scrapers work great, maybe one day when i slow down i will learn the "Real" way to turn lol, Thanks for checking it out
Very well done! Bravo!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice walk through of the process. I tried the same thing with pine, it turn out. It ended up across the garage. Nice job.
+Mike Fulton I have had that happen as well Mike lol, Just keep on turning, it gets better
Love the out takes but great turning with the pine. Looking to start myself soon and this was a great help. ( only 2 and a half years late.... )
Hey, better late then never lol, I just appreciate you checking it out, make sure you share your work, i would love to see what you are working on
Great. Now I want a lathe. Thanks for the tutorial
+Christopher Gibson Thanks for checking it out, They are a lot of fun, and open up so many different doors to woodworking
Very good tutorial and video. Job well done excellent information for us folk just starting out. Thank you and God bless you and family.
Thanks so much for checking it out, much appreciated
Robert Langley i
I plan on getting a lathe sometime in the near future so I will be coming back to this video when I do. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
+Saw Dust Maker Awesome, it opens up a lot of doors to woodworking, very cool to hear
Really appreciate this video. As a beginner on a limited budget, exotic hardwoods are a rarity; what I do have is still waiting til i feel I can do it justice (& not waste it..). Ive used some old blocks of pine but didnt think of 2x4. a cheap alternative to learn on ty
Thank you for checking it out
Thanks for the video! I'm considering adding a lathe to my workshop and at this point would certainly be considered a "pre-noob"! Your video is a great intro to doing bowls w/o "experimenting" with expensive hardwoods.
Thanks for checking it out, i would rather mess up this pine , testing, vs testing expensive woods, just makes sense to me lol
That was great. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and you feedback
Great little bowl you turned there, I've made a few round boxes and ring holders from construction grade pine. The Orange and off white hue it ends up with us very nice. Love working with pine! Great video!
Thanks for checking it out, much appreciated
Never thought of gluing wood together, a good way to get a block, thanx for that! I have some off cuts of oak glued together that was used for a new kitchen work surface, I will try that. I am new to this so will be a good start. Cheers, Barry.
Great way to use up so scraps pieces and make some unique items, All the best
I have the same tools you have. I turn cedar every week people love the look
I have the the same lathe and easy tools
Already turned my lathe to a disc sander
Thanks for watching and sharing
the bowl turned out really nice sterling. thanks for the video.
+Moy perez woodshop Thanks Moy, Appreciate your support
Hi Sterling, You are awesome. Great Video. I am a beginner. Have not yet used a Lathe and I am thinking of buying one. Your Video just convinced me....THANKS
We have to start somewhere , i am still learning as well, and just sharing the Journey, Appreciate you checking it out , hope it was helpful
Very inspirational! I hope it's as easy as you made it look 😄 I've helped out with a bit of gouging last week, but can't wait to turn one on my own soon from start to finish 😀
Thanks for checking it out , and hope everything goes well, let me know how you liked turning
Thanks, I'm starting soon. Like the NC in the background. I'm at the beach
Very cool, be sure to share you work, Thanks for watching Bobby
Very nice! Surprising to see how nice that 2x4 actually turned.
Best regards,
Peter
+Peter Matthew I was too, I have turned it with traditional tools and it was always a fail, Thanks for checking it out
A lathe is still on my wish list. That pine turned out pretty well....Love the grain pattern after you turned it...
+John Turner I was surprised it turned so well, Thanks for checking it out
John Turner m
great video thanks. I got my first lathe yesterday and find these introductory beginners videos really helpful.
Thanks for checking it out, feel free to share what you turn, Would love to see
Nicely done buddy, love how it "turned" out. 👊👊👊
lol, Thanks so much for the kind words
That is a cool idea Sterling. I'm going to try out the 2x6 pine before I set up a nice piece of wood and mess it up.
+John Bittner That was my thoughts too lol, never hurts to practice before the Nice Piece of wood, Thanks for checking it out John
Cool. Great thinking out of the box. Well done, sir.
Thanks for checking it out Walter and for the kind words
😂 glad I stuck around for the outtakes
Thanks for watching , much appreciated
Very informative! Well done sir!
thanks for checking it out
Well done Sterling.
+J.D. Ransom Thanks for checking it out JD
Thank you for an informative and simple tutorial. I'm a little nervous at taking my first turning class in January, but your video is encouraging! Cheers from Montréal, Québec!
Awesome, let me know how it goes, I am just a beginner and dont know as much as I would like, but want to see people just try new things in woodworking, glad to hear it helped, and thanks for checking it out
Great video I going to try this .
Thanks for checking it out. Feel free to share your work gloves another peoples work.
I'll be giving that a go, thanks for the video
+Rob Evans Thank You for checking it out, Hope it Turns out great for you Rob
Thank you thank you thank you - I am trying this this weekend - really look forward to my time in the shop.
+Thomas Dauphin Wanting to see some videos Thomas, hope your liking the new Lathe, Just take your time buddy
Very cool, Sterling! my first bowls were chunks of 2x4 and 2x6. I hadn't stacked any like that. I'll have to try that.
+Jason Rausch Turned out better then I would of thought, Thanks for checking it out
Im brand new, picked up a mark 5 yesterday with all the goodies but I only want it for the lathe function. I already found some walnut and want to make my first bowel and my first thought was how do you avoid hitting the mounting screws. Well that trick of drilling from the tail stock is genius, I will really use that.
So you don’t use drywall screws in turning, but knock on wood, I’ve never had an issue, not to say that I won’t, not to say that it’s safe, that’s just what I do, tried your own risk lol
I'm no pro, but i'd say if you struggle with softer woods it's due to dull tools. I find that with pine, cedar, and even open grain woods like oak I used to have mashed and torn grain until I started actually honing the skew and gouges instead of just hitting it on the grinder. I just use a diamond knife sharpener to hit the edge once I grind the bevel how I want.
Could be, thanks for watching and the feedback, appreciate you watching
Good tips, thanks.
Thanks for checking it out
My HF lathe is same as yours. All i can afford at this time. You may have found this out, but the tool rest breaks very easily. Mine broken on a catch and hit my shoulder and flew across my shop. Didn't hurt me thankfully as I moved out of the way (mostly), but it is scary! I replaced the rest with a Robust tool rest and come to find out that HF lathe tool rests are not a true 1". I had to turn a fresh hole in my banjo on my HF tool rest arm. Nice video!
SP
you are correct, it is not a true 1 inch hole for the rest, i had mine drilled out to fit the 1 in rest I bought, never had the rest break like that, bet that was scary, glad your ok, and thanks for checking out mine channel
Excellent stuff
spacecaptain1970 thanks so much for the kind words and for watching
Thank you Sterling, easy and fun video. God bless
+Sam K Thank You for checking it out, it was fun to do, God Bless You My Friend
Nice! I love your work and I am also in the process.
Thanks so much for that, I’d love to see your work, share so we can all benefit from each other’s work
Thank you! This was a very educational and I can't wait to put what I've learned to use!
thanks for checking it out, and glad to help. All the best Michael
The lathe is definitely the scariest machine in my shop. Thanks for the tips. Might just have to dust it off and give turning another shot.
+Black Widow Woodworks its worth it, It can open up the door to some many different projects
Nice - thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this. It took a lot of the fear out of it for me.
+Dan aka Basuraman Just respect it as if it were your table saw or band saw, The key to it is securing it good, one thing i didnt mention, Softer wood like pine or cedar will loosen in the chuck, its good to tighten the chuck every so often, thanks for checking it out
Thanks for making this. I'd love to get started on turning when I can afford it.
+legacyofbob Its a lot of fun, and can add a lot to your shop, opens so many doors to wood working, Thanks for checking it out
Great video Sterling! I haven't tried turning a bowl yet and this helps. I gotta get a chuck though.
+Steve Carmichael Thanks Steve, Its a lot of fun, appreciate you checking it out
This was great! I was starting to think you couldn't turn pine and such which is about the only thing I have at the moment.
it is difficult at times to turn being soft wood, but go slow and it makes for good practice
Thanks much, very helpful, I am just getting started.
Glad it helped Greg, All the best , Happy Turning
I see you are coming right along with the lathe. Looks like the bowl turned out pretty nice. I did a mallet out of a treated 4X4. Not pretty but it serves the purpose. Nice video. Hope you had a good time in kC. Regards.
+Steve McEntyre Thanks for checking it out Steve, Had a Blast in KC, and as long as it works for you and your needs, Its all good lol
Great video Sterling, turning looks like a lot of fun!
+Lane Bros WoodShop Thanks So Much !!!
very nice Sterling - I can't wait to get a lathe
+Nick Ferry So much fun, and I am sure you will Turn out some cool stuff, Thanks Nick
I think pine is underrated for turning. Came out nice. I think the carbides are much better than conventional for the softer woods. Maybe because they keep their edges longer? Not sure. Thank you!
Thanks for watching D L, I prefer Carbide but honestly have not took the time I need to learn Traditional tools, I will one day
I go to job sites and pick up the ends of the cut laminated beams. Works great, just have to cut them down to size.
gret use of scraps, and awesome to practice with, Thanks for checking it out
Beautiful bowl.
Thank You So Much !!
Looks great! Doctors Workshop finishes are highly used in my shop.
+Speedy's Woodshop its good stuff, Appreciate you checking it out
That was a great overview. I'm really impressed by the finish on that pine. Great stuff!
+Michael Lawing I was as well, appreciate you checking it out Michael
Hi there !!
That was a really enjoyable video.Great explanations throughout and a cool sense of humour....Thanks for sharing it with us.
Cheers.
Chris.
Thanks for checking it out
Very cool 👍
Thanks for checking it out Pete
nice job. looks good
Thank You Barry
Beautiful👍👍👍
Thanks so much I appreciate you checking it out
Great video Sterling! Nice meeting you in KC! Hope you had lots of good BBQ while you were here! BTW - I too am 6-4 260 pounds! We were the two "big dogs" at WIA - LOL!
Just a couple comments - if you had extended your diagonal lines, you could have used them to line up your faceplate through the faceplate screw holes. - Also I noticed that you started the lathe at something other than the slowest speed. The HF manual recommended that you start/stop the lathe at the slowest speed. Just a safe practice to get into. Not such a big deal in what you were doing, just if you stopped at a high speed and chucked up a big, out of balance blank next, you could have some issues!
+Alan Erickson Had a Blast in KC, Jack Stacks, and LC BBQ was Awesome, Thanks so much for the call outs, you are correct, I need to get into the habit of reducing the speed once I am done, because the Central Machine lathe, you can't change the speed unless it is running, Great Call Out, Thanks for checking it out
You are so amazing
Thanks so much for your kindness
Thanks for the tips guys!
+Randy Taylor Thank You for checking it out Randy
awesome job Sterling, thank you for sharing with us think im gonna try a bowl now lol.
+Rod Jaworski Thanks for checking it out Rod
I like it Nice starter bowl. keep going Sterling
+Custom Chris Thanks Chris, Appreciate you checking it out
Well, that explains how I have a disc sander now... learn something new every day I guess. Wonder who trolled who?
One thing to toss out, due to my unfortunate experience: avoid dry wall screws in wet wood when mounting a face plate. I had some rather crappy results with them breaking off in the blank. I've heard of folks waxing the screws too, not sure if that would have helped though.
+Make Crazydays Thanks Arron, Good info, appreciate you passing it along
Thanks Sterling, Great video, and the bowl came out really nice, pine is a very underestimated wood,
Thanks for sharing mate, Best wishes Harry
+The Little Garden Shed Workshop Thanks Harry, Appreciate your support
Good tips. Makes me wish I could get started on my lathe. Still need tools, haha.
+CMR Woodworks | Chris McDowell Thanks Chris, it's a lot of fun, hope you can get them soon, and begin your Turning Journey
Very nice!
Thanks James, appreciate you watching
Great video, but as a complete beginner I have trouble knowing when to use which tool, it would be a great benefit if you could explain which tool you're using and how to use it... thanks!!
So sorry about the voiceover this was an old video that had issues with copyright music, so UA-cam took it down, and as far as dimensions I made it up on the fly, All of the windows doors and items used outside of the box was a Steve Good pattern from his website
Great tutorial Sterling - The came out really nice too :-)
+The ShavingWood Workshop Thanks Tommy !!
thank you it was very helpful
Steve
Thanks Steve for checking it out
