Wood Turning Multi Axis Emerging Bowl Mimosa Branch
Вставка

- In this video I turn an Emerging Bowl from a Mimosa branch.
This is a fairly involved turning which is mounted from 2 axis and it is out of balance most of the time.. I am happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it as well.

You sir are a craftsman! an amazing amount of thought and work went into making this lovely piece . I like to use pencils too if I could only find them when I have put them down :)
Cheers, Bram
Well Bram I truly appreciate that comment.
It certainly was a fun project. I am pleased that you like it.
Pencils LOL I must have 30 of them in the shop. I should never put anything down.
Thanks again,
Gary
Oh, I meant to add the comment 'please don't throw the other half away' The grain is sure to be great in that piece & I know that you will produce something brilliant. Don
It still sits on the shelf. Most of the bark fell off but at some point I will finish it as well.
Gary
Excellent demo, Gary. I am especially impressed with your smooth surface around the rim. I always have a challenge with winged bowls eliminating the tool marks from the interrupted cuts.
Thank you very much Mike. I think adding those pieces to try and balance it out helped to get the RPM up.
But for sure all that air does make it hard. There is something I really like about those types of cuts.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I have watched this video 3 times on end trying to make sure that I did see what I thought I saw & heard what I thought I heard. This is such a 'jaw dropping' woodturning Gary. I thought that I had a fair idea of the skill set that you bring to your artistic, creative woodturning. Just to see & hear how you go about setting out what you want to do & how you made it all so safe to turn at a suitable speed was spellbinding. This a most beautiful piece that would sit proudly in any home, but more, it would sit proudly in any gallery. I know that I will have to watch this video many, many more times. I think the finish is also amazing & must not be left out of any commentary. Whew! Thank you SO much for allowing us to view & listen to the whole mindset & execution of a true Artist at work, & this comment comes from a retired Senior Master of Art here in South Australia. Don.
Thanks so much Don. This was certainly one of my favorite ones to do based on the setup it takes to make it happen.
I have seen it done using milled up lumber that is flat on all sides but I wanted to try it with a branch.
Wow now your comments really mean a lot...Senior Master of Art. But they have always meant a lot and are heart felt.
Gary
I really appreciate that you used counterweights. I’ve worked as a machinist in the past and machinists regularly use counterweights. I don’t know why more Wood turner s don’t use them.
Thank you Barry I have used counterweights for many years. I worked as a wood patternmaker and turned many large turnings that you really needed to use them. Not only to get it close to balance but uninterrupted cuts were very important on a large job where you had to use much slower speeds.
I appreciate hearing from someone who understands the importance of using counterweights.
Thanks again,
Gary
Master artistry at its most exquisite, what more can I say! The tip about using the curved template and the black crayon is genius. Greetings from Devon UK. Cheers Marc
Thank you Marc. The curved template comes in very handy. At work I made templates with all sorts of shapes to make sure I got the shape I needed.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I really like your contraption for holding the bowl on the lathe. Do u have a pattern for that thing or is it copyrighted? LOL But hey, if it gets her done it works for me. I don’t think I’m ready to try this one-maybe later. By the way what did u do in your other life)(vocation)? Thanks
Not copyrighted and built as needed.
I was a wood pattern maker. I made the original shape for making castings that were were poured from molten steel in a foundry.
Man it was a pleasure to watch you turn that piece and listen to you describe your process for doing so thanks for sharing 👍 🙏
Thanks so much William. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Good evening, Gary. I was looking for something different and guess what I found. I like it! The video says it was made 3 years ago.
Hi Ray, yes one of my first videos. I still have the other half but the bark was nit on it. I should finish it because the wood is so nice.
Happy you found this one.
Gary
Between this and your segmenting you must be a real numbers guy. Cudos. Turned out great. Love the way you explain what you’re doing!
Thanks so much Victor. I used math every day as a wood pattern maker. Comes in handy in retirement as well.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Gary, I really liked how you managed to secure the piece for turning. It came out very nice, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Joseph! Sometimes it is about as much work making something to hold the piece without putting screws in it but that is fun as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary. Thank you for another great turning. Its always great to see you make beautiful projects out of a piece of a log
Thanks Dave! I appreciate you watching and commenting on this older video.
Gary
Thanks that was great! I will definitely be using the counter balance trick on future projects too.
Thank you very much Jack. If you want to see a lot of counter balance check this video I did. With this one the counter balance became a second turning.

I just watched your video. Themi.osa grain is gorgeous. What a cool soup and sandwich dish.
Thank you Judith. I still have a few pieces of Mimosa left. Not big but still pretty wood.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Gary, I came to check this out after seeing yesterday's video. This is a beautiful piece.
Thank you Josh. It was one of my favorites for sure.
Magnificent piece! Do you have a video of your finishing process? Be interesting to learn about that!
Thanks so much. If you watch this video you will see how I use the wipe on poly.
Sorry I missed it on this video but watch this one and you will be able to see it.

Absolutely beautiful, very ingenious, very well thought out.
Thank you Joseph, it was lots of fun to do. I still have the other half but the wood is not quite as pretty. I should still finish it up.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Papa thanks for sharing that is a fantastic looking piece and very cleverly turned please keep them coming you and Phil constantly inspire me
Steven thank you so much for wonderful comments. I have to say that I was not doing videos when I came across Phil's channel. When I started he encouraged me to keep at it.
I have another one coming Friday and am working on the following one right now.
Thanks for letting me know my letting me know they are meaningful.
Gary
I am speechless the amount of work that must have gone on off camera and the brilliance on camera you are a true craftsman fantastic work of art
Thank you very much Wander! I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching.
Gary
Magnifique travail ! It's a good job ! Congratulation ! Jean-Luc
Thanks so much Jean-Luc! Very happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Wow... just... WOW! The 'PAPA', strikes again.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Dwayne I think you liked it??? lol
It was sure a fun piece and I have the other half sitting there but the bark did not stay on it. I might still finish it some day.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Yes, sirrrrrr......
Wow! That is amazing ! Good thing I’ll never try to make one, as you lost me somewhere around the cut in half stage!🤪 what happened to the other half?
Thank you Beatrice. The other half is sitting on a shelf waiting to be turned. I guess I should finish it but the bark did not stay on. That would be ok though. If you do this with milled lumber it might be easier to follow. Maybe I should make a video of that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Much as I enjoy watching, woodworking is not an option for me. I love your challenging projects, and enjoy trying to figure out how you do it, so I hope you don’t mind my quirky comments.
Your mind works in strange ways... Very nice. I can't turn Mimosa any more, I react to it...
Thank you very much...yes I agree...I do like doing odd things.
Have not seen you on for a bit but I have watched most all of your videos Reed.
I live up north of you in Garden Home Oregon which is next to Beaverton.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Great work 👏! Turned out beautiful!
Thank you Stephen happy you liked it. This was one of the favorites I have done.
Take care,
Gary
Thats really rather quite amazing! 😁
Thank you Terrie I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Absolutely amazing, Gary!! That was some great instruction. Thanks for sharing!
Take care,
.....Gord
Thank you so much Gord. It is certainly a fun and rewarding project. It is getting some good views. It has helped my channel grow quite a bit. Getting it shared helps a lot.
The gorgeous wood helps. Speaking of which the Macadamia turning I just posted is truly amazing. And I came across some Catalpa which is also very cool. Wow wood is so beautiful. But you know that.
Thank you so much for watching and your comments. Much appreciated.
Gary
Très très jolie bravo et le principe est excellent 👍
Merci beaucoup Denis je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé.
Prends soin de toi,
Gary
New subscriber. Excellent work with informative commentary. Beautiful piece.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Rex for watching subscribing and your wonderful comment.
I truly appreciate it.
Gary
BRAVO! Outstanding project, turning and final piece. Very well explained and demonstrated. You are really moving the bar for quality turning videos, Gary!
ENCORE!
Phil
Well thank you very much Phil for your kind words.
Coming from you that is great compliment.
Hopefully I can come up with some more but I have some much simpler ones ready to upload.
Simple but very pretty wood.
Speaking of wood we just got back from our sons place and I snagged a nice chunk from his wood pile. He said it was Western Ash. I will find out soon enough.
Thanks again Phil for the encouragement when I first started doing videos.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 simple but great wood usually does it for me. Looking forward to them, Gary!
Phil
Hi Gary,
That was one heck of a set-up and turning!
The piece is amazing and truly a one of a kind work of art!
I don't think I'll be trying something like this right now but maybe somewhere down the longggggg road!
Thanks for the video,,,
Tom
Thank Thomas I appreciate you comments.
It is tricky but kind of that I like.
I spent my working life as a wood pattern maker and most things were not so normal.
Thanks again
Gary
Fantastic!! This is a well thought out and a AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL TURN!!! SAFE TURNING JOHN
Thank you very much John for your comments. Much appreciated.
Gary
Beautiful result and some nice creative techniques. Of course I noticed your pattern maker background in the way you developed the sphere. Knowledge is a handy thing. Well used, of course.
Bill thank your very much. Yes indeed I use a lot of my pattern making skills. Seems you must know what a pattern maker is?
I can't tell you how many radius I have made using that method and using a spoke shave to do the final rounding. That is on things such as pump castings where they had a volute shape. Always a constant changing radius. I would say I miss building things but I have not stopped since I retired almost 7 years ago.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Gary
Really nice job. I liked your approach to rounding the bottom of the bowl. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much George I really appreciate your comments. And thanks much for watching.
Gary
Great video Gary. I've included it as a possibility for our club's Monthly Challenge. Hopefully someone will try it. More than I can handle!
Thank you Tom it would make a great challenge.
Take care
Gary
That is amazing. Beautiful
Thank you Sue it was fun to make.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Another beautiful piece with fantastic grain. As a retired engineer, I wouldn't have thought of that technique for forming a sphere (BTW - I'm not a woodturner). Still working my way back through your videos. Bill
Thank you Bill I appreciate your comments As a retired wood patternmaker I learned that trick many years ago. It was the best method to make an accurate radius.My favorite thing in pattern making is using geometry as a tool.There are some videos of stills of some of the patterns I made at the beginning of the videos I have posted. Not sure what type of engineer you are but if it is mechanical then you will understand what you are looking at.
Thanks again for watching.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 My degree is mechanical but I spent the last 7 years as an environmental engineer.
Great piece, Gary! The grain is beautiful and you did a really good job on the emerging piece.
Billy
Thank you Billy and thank you for your support.
Yes it is wonderful grain. I have a few more pieces and will try and do something special with them.
Gary
Great job! Looks like a fun project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Don I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Gary, that little project was so inspiring! Please keep it up
Thank you I will do my best. I have a few other odd ideas I will be doing soon.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
I enjoyed watching and hearing you describe your process. This kind of video is instructional even if you declared otherwise. Thank you
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it. There is always something that can be learned. This type is something that should only be done based on personal experience. That is why state them Not being instructional.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Just came across this video. The mimosa sent to you recently should make a nice turning. However, the texture of the bark on your piece of wood looks much different than was was set to you. Maybe a different species of Mimosa???
Anyway, interesting and nice wood turning here. Another great idea.👍👍👍👍👍
Not sure if there are other species of Mimosa or not. Maybe where it grows might effect the bark. Wood wood itself looks pretty close to the same.
Looking forward to turning it.
That was amazing, and you explain what your doing so well. Thanks for sharing your skill with us
Thank you Judith, this was a lot of fun to turn. I still have the other half that I should finish.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice. Good job. How do you like the Laguna lathe? I want to move up to a bigger lathe. I’m looking at the 2436.
Thank you very much. I like the Laguna a lot.
It is a great lathe for the price. Only a few things I didn't like and fixed both of those.You can look up the method I came up with for locking the spindle when needed. There is a video on my page.
A simple fix. The other was it was to short. I know you can buy cast risers for $300 but I made risers from Baltic Birch plywood for about $15.00. The center of the spindle was almost 3" lower than the Jet 1442 that I had. Depends how tall you are I guess.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Well sir, you've simply outdone yourself this time. I am completely amazed at the beautiful turning you did. It is absolutely beautiful and perfect.
Thank you very much Richard. That turning was very fun to do. I have the other half but it did not retain the bark and I may or may not turn it. Although I could change it up a bit.
Thank you for your very kind comment.
Gary
Fascinating process Gary! I see what you mean by proportionality enlarging it!! Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. This had more mass for sure. The counter weight also helped to eliminate a lot of the air space and made for smoother cuts.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks sir ,sharing it with us .
beautiful and lovely work, well done
Thank you very much for your kind words. Much appreciated.
Gary
Amazing, very technical and very clever, great skill, brilliantly intuitive
Thanks very much
Thanks Steve I appreciate your comment. They are fun to do. And I have been thinking of another twist on the idea.
Thanks again,
Gary
Amazing skill and thought went into this project. I envy your talent.
Thank you Alan I truly appreciate your kind words.
Gary
Very nice Gary, this is a special one! 👍
Thanks Rod and thanks for watching. I can only imagine how busy you must be.Your channel is growing so much and you deserve it.
Thanks again.

Wonderful piece Gary. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you very much I appreciate you comments. And I like the emotes you used. Especially the flag.
Gary
Another well done project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Wayne I appreciate you comments and thanks for watching.
Gary
Amazing way above my skill but very interesting, thank you
Thank you very much Larry. It can be made with milled lumber much easier but I really like the look of using a branch.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
That is great :-)
Thank you very much. Lot of fun to make
Gary
That is really cool. Beautiful wood, and beautiful work. And a very clear video explaining how you got to the finished piece. Well done.
Thank you very much David. I agree it is really beautiful wood. I was glad to get what I did.
Thanks for watching and your nice comments.
Gary
Very cool and it's fun to see someone thinking out side of the box. Beautiful piece of wood. Nice job. ThankQ.
@@grampashorty8468 Thank you so much I really appreciate your comments.
And thank you for watching.
Gary
ha Gary really nice piece your large backing plate how did you make that? that come in handy!
Larry it is a piece of plywood with pine segments glued to it. That way I can face it off when needed.
There is a steel faceplate attached to the back.
Gary
Bravo! You really pulled it off.
Thank you so much. It is a fun project.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Nice job. What is your flute on your 40/40 grind gouge, a V or U shape? Thanks.
Thank you Joseph I am glad you liked it.
The gouge is a V shape.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Fabulous peace. Very innovative in how you halved it and mounted it. You've done the wood proud. Nature and man at their best!
