I have been so impressed with a number of your Videos that I just keep coming back as I run into some difficulty. Being a Pipe Fabricator/Welder, I thought I knew enough of this stuff but, I keep finding I have forgotten so many formulas I used, and being retired I no longer have Most of the Notes and fabrication books I used any more. Being almost totally involved in Segmented Woodturning, I am Having to learn a lot of the angles all over. Thank you for Your expertise in the Engineering Math that you have much Knowledge in. Keep up the Great Work Mr. Wandel !
That bowl messes with my head. I mean, my brain *knows* it is round but when it was in your hands and you turned it in the light my eyes say it's still faceted haha. A nice effect, I love it and well done :D
Mr Wandel. Whatever you build, seems so easy, cos you are very confident and professional. Usually I suffer to even adjust angles. But any way, I hope to be able one day of finishing a bowl like this!
A trick for Temporary gluing is to glue a piece of paper in between the two pieces of wood. It should hold on the lathe and then can be pried off later with a chisel. Also you could use a parting tool to part it off with minimal loss. Your work is great BTW
At 4:36, I'm not sure whether you said you had a eureka moment, of if you said you had a urethra moment... By heavens I hope it was the latter because if so you are one clever straight faced comedic genius! Whether you did or not I fully intend to add that saying to my regular repertoire of one liners. BTW, thank you for some truly magnificent videos. I've learned more useful methodologies watching your channel than any other of the multitudes I've seen. The clarity, intelligence and variety of content you provide is magnificent. Heartfelt thanks to you and your work Mr. Wandel.
If a piece of heavy brown paper ( shopping bag ) is glued between the bowl and the temporary turning block the block can be split off with a wide chisel. Half of the paper will go with the bowl and half with the block. Works for me. Enjoy your videos! Thanks Barry
At the moment I'm nursing a shattered knee , and three reconstruction surgeries. I've always had problems setting up for tapered segmented joints. After downloading your chart I now have confidence to take on more segmented projects. After I heal tho. This bowel looks awesome.
I like the fact that this bowl, unlike most turned bowl-like stuff, isn not a jumbo size waste of material. You can do art (and be eco-friendly ¿¿) at the same time.
If you glue your plywood and form together with newspaper in the middle, it will have lateral strength for turning, but still be easy to separate with a chisel.
In High School we would glue the turning plate onto our bowl piece with a piece of paper sandwiched between the two. After turning, we would use a chisel and split the paper in half. It usually took a couple hits from our rawhide mallet. Then we just sanded the paper and 1 layer of glue down to the bowl bottom. Thanks for sharing.
You did a brilliant job on that Matthias. Great work. Whats next man? Are you gonna build a rocket? Perhaps an engine out of wood that runs on the sawdust made from the construction? You are brilliant man, love your videos.
That's a great looking bowl, I enjoyed watching the process. Is that finish food-safe? I occasionally make wooden cooking tools (not as nice as this) and use mineral oil. It requires frequent reapplication though, so I'd like to find something with better wear/moisture resistance.
It's fun watching you do lathe work. You are clearly more geeky scientific type thinker, and that approach to lathe work (which to me seems to be much more artistic) was fun. If you want to learn more about how to use that wonderful lathe you have do a search for user "capneddie" on youtube, he is arguably the best lathe guy regularly posting his work on youtube.
I have to disagree with your last statement...the bowl WAS made with incredible accuracy. Wood-to-wood joints don't just happen...it takes knowledge, planning, proper set up and maintenance of the tools, proper and safe cutting techniques, insight (to overcome inherent and cumulative errors) and finally a certain dull persistence to plod ahead regardless until at last...there it is. Fine work. Well done. (I am relieved to find that you did not make your lathe out of plywood BTW).
A very nice bowl, although I'm not much good at angles, so I suppose that means I'll have to keep making bowl the old fashioned way - take a block of wood and turn most of it into shavings and sawdust. Thanks for the video.
I don't know much about carpentry/wood but I'm curious if only certain types of wood can be used for anything that is going to be handling food. Are the coatings more important?
I could watch these videos all day, every day! I do have a question on this one, though. Why didn't you create the bottom by cutting 8 triangles and gluing them into an Octagon, with the grain running radially? You should've been able to cut the outside edge on a bevel to match the side cone you made in the previous video. I'd have been very interested to see the maths involved in doing that!
If you beveled a group of culls longer than the width of each section, then fit two of them, one above the other, hooking an elastic between the ends of each alternate cull as you go around the bowl, suitably end notched, then the pressure should be inward and even, allowing a tightening around the bowl at the edges. You alternate the culls above and below the next cull in the rotation, so the elastic or string loops pull at the same level. You would block the culls with a weight or a screw as you attach the elastics. Once the elastics are in place, you would loop twine around the culls notches and turn the twine with a short stick or bolt to tension the culls, letting it stop on the sides or wire it to a stop on the table.. Or you could use turnbuckles.
You can use the brown paper bag trick to attach the faceplate wood to the bowl. The two pieces will glue up fine with paper between then. When time to free them from each other just hit the faceplate wood with hammer and they will come apart.
mount the sacrificial piece of plywood with a piece of paper between it and the bowl. When it's time to come apart you can start it with a chisel and the whole thing will then come apart fairly easily.
you should really research this newspaper technique. It works like a charm. You seriously could make a whole video dedicated to it. Wood turners would appreciate it.
If you glue paper between the joint layers, between bowl and the base for turning, you can separate the two with the strike of a well placed chisel. It has never failed me yet.
Like the bowl, in regards to gluing the bowl to the backing plate I would have layed down a piece of paper between the 2 pieces (glue on both sides) and then you just wedge off the piece when done, no cutting needed!
And this, my friends, is how my brother lost the ends of his fingers: running a piece he had just turned across the jointer. Remember to keep the height to a minimum, and do multiple passes, way less likely to kick the piece in a bad way.
***** Just the ends on one hand, about an inch at worst. The planer was set too high, and he was trying to flatten the bottom of a tall turned piece. It grabbed the piece and threw it back, causing the hand holding the top to hit the blades for a moment.
+Jared Young My old man did something like that sometime before he was 15. Was holding the non fence end with his index finger and rested the other 3 right on the bed as he passed it across the blades. Missing various lengths from all 3 of them. Told me he barely felt it until he saw he pulped his own fingers then freaked out.
mr.matthias i love waching your vids, i am 15 jears old and i hope to be as good somday as you with wood. i heve a question how did you learn to make things out of wood. did your dad learn it to you?? i am sorry for my bad english i an from holland
There's a video on the newsletter i received from Matthias some time ago with a guy making a fantastic one! Too bad I can't remeber where it is... But it is just like a month (or less) ago
When ever it comes time to separate a bowl from the faceplate Base I use a piece of printer paper and standard Elmer's wood glue with one good whack with a sharp chisel it should come right apart and all that is left is some sanding
with regards to what you said at the end, nothing is ever perfect. even machined parts. the difference between a professional and an amateur isn't that a professional doesn't make mistakes, it's that they know how to hide them. looks professional to me.
I would have preferred to see either the inner or outer part turned, but not both. The contrast between the edged and rounded parts would make the piece more interesting. But that is just personal preference, great build either way.
I have been so impressed with a number of your Videos that I just keep coming back as I run into some difficulty.

Your work is great BTW
Great work and quite an instructional followup to your previous one.
You continue to demonstrate that you are multifaceted in the wood shop!
You were already my hero anyway Mathias, but now you've become a legend as you're also a bowl turner.
At 4:36, I'm not sure whether you said you had a eureka moment, of if you said you had a urethra moment... By heavens I hope it was the latter because if so you are one clever straight faced comedic genius! Whether you did or not I fully intend to add that saying to my regular repertoire of one liners.

you are a legend of woodshop, love your accuracy in all your work.
bravo
Very nice job. Worth the wait after that little teaser that you provided us a week ago.
If a piece of heavy brown paper ( shopping bag ) is glued between the bowl and the temporary turning block the block can be split off with a wide chisel. Half of the paper will go with the bowl and half with the block. Works for me. Enjoy your videos!
Thanks Barry
6:16 ,because it was made with incredible accuracy!Nice job!
As I have watched more and more of his videos I have noticed he has an obsession with clamps and glue
Yes, quite common this "obsession" in woodworking. Which leads to that famous motto regarding clamps. :-D
Joshua Denney Gotta have enough clamps and glue.
At the moment I'm nursing a shattered knee , and three reconstruction surgeries.
I've always had problems setting up for tapered segmented joints. After downloading your chart I now have confidence to take on more segmented projects. After I heal tho.
This bowel looks awesome.
I like the fact that this bowl, unlike most turned bowl-like stuff, isn not a jumbo size waste of material. You can do art (and be eco-friendly ¿¿) at the same time.
Nicolás Oga Frank Howarth also doesn't waste much material
If you glue your plywood and form together with newspaper in the middle, it will have lateral strength for turning, but still be easy to separate with a chisel.
tartredarrow Actually, a manila folder works great.
Keith Capehart thanks for the tip I have a hard time finding paper bags
Sorry, I did not see your comment when I made the same comment.
I have to say from seeing that piece turn from a nifty concept you decided to try out, this was really cool
In High School we would glue the turning plate onto our bowl piece with a piece of paper sandwiched between the two. After turning, we would use a chisel and split the paper in half. It usually took a couple hits from our rawhide mallet. Then we just sanded the paper and 1 layer of glue down to the bowl bottom. Thanks for sharing.
That's a lot of hard work for a bowl, but it turned out awesome and well worth the effort.
Outstanding job, Matthias! That turned bowl looks like you've been making them for years.
You should win the Nobel Prize for woodworking.
I googled around, the consensus seems that this sort of finish is ok. But there's more natural finishes that would probably be better.
I'm not a lathe person, and there are other good lathe videos out there. Like those by Frank Howarth or Alex Harris.
You did a brilliant job on that Matthias. Great work. Whats next man? Are you gonna build a rocket? Perhaps an engine out of wood that runs on the sawdust made from the construction? You are brilliant man, love your videos.
You are amazing! I wish I had 1/4 of your skill! Thank you for the videos. You are an inspiration.
thanks from Madrid.
Matthias los lunes son mejores desde que conocí tu web.
!!ánimo!!
Really really nice job. Lovely looking bowl!!!
that's bananas
after that varnish, it shined like ceramic
All your videos are awesome. Great job .
Its fun to watch you work.that bowl is beutiful
nice project, good to see the process from start to finish...
That's a great looking bowl, I enjoyed watching the process. Is that finish food-safe? I occasionally make wooden cooking tools (not as nice as this) and use mineral oil. It requires frequent reapplication though, so I'd like to find something with better wear/moisture resistance.
Well, it *was* made with incredible accuracy.
THAT is totally awesome!!!! You are truely a Master!!!!
I think it's a nice thing to use tools made by one's own hands. it's... a nice feel.
Perfect, a true work of art. Happy Birthday. Very short your videos
Finally a turning video from Mattias !! YaY!!
It's a very nice bowl!
Seems your angle chart will be similar to the crown moulding charts?
Already did. See my articles and videos on that topic.
How so?
Nice polished finish

I would have loved to see this piece staggered up and down as part of an elaborate dovecote roof. looks brilliant
You are quite the craftsman
That is a beautiful bowl.
I have to disagree with your last statement...the bowl WAS made with incredible accuracy.

He actually wasn't trying, he's that good at it.
I really hope I have workshop like yours
Just beautiful!

Amazing and inspiring work!
Just some crude tools that came with the used lathe. I do so little wood turning, it's not worth buying a proper set.
your videos are great! awesome bowl!
Is this a M33 thread on the lathe?
The German Woodguy ja
The German Woodguy ja
I am by no means an expert but is oil based varinsh food safe?
Had not heard of that technique, but I'm not a wood turner.
Matthias tell me what glue you use THANKS
He buys the cheapest yellow glue he can find in bulk.
Thats amazing!
You are so inspiring!
what is the max swing on that lathe, my max is only 12"
you should really research this newspaper technique. It works like a charm. You seriously could make a whole video dedicated to it. Wood turners would appreciate it.
The turned bowl does have added interest because of the joints. I think though that it was perhaps more intriguing in its octagonal shape.
Oh yeah, I didn't remember you doing wood turning at all.
very nice and a great bowl.
If you glue paper between the joint layers, between bowl and the base for turning, you can separate the two with the strike of a well placed chisel. It has never failed me yet.
Like the bowl, in regards to gluing the bowl to the backing plate I would have layed down a piece of paper between the 2 pieces (glue on both sides) and then you just wedge off the piece when done, no cutting needed!
what happened to your wood C-Clamps? it'd be a fine time to use them for this.
High quality wood work.
And this, my friends, is how my brother lost the ends of his fingers: running a piece he had just turned across the jointer.
Remember to keep the height to a minimum, and do multiple passes, way less likely to kick the piece in a bad way.
***** Just the ends on one hand, about an inch at worst. The planer was set too high, and he was trying to flatten the bottom of a tall turned piece. It grabbed the piece and threw it back, causing the hand holding the top to hit the blades for a moment.
Jared Young I wonder if they have a sawstop version of a jointer.
+Jared Young My old man did something like that sometime before he was 15. Was holding the non fence end with his index finger and rested the other 3 right on the bed as he passed it across the blades. Missing various lengths from all 3 of them.

mr.matthias i love waching your vids,
i am 15 jears old and i hope to be as good somday as you with wood.
i heve a question how did you learn to make things out of wood.
did your dad learn it to you??
i am sorry for my bad english i an from holland
It's the type of metallic drier used that you need to be most concerned with.
And yes, everyone SHOULD have a 12 inch jointer. Help us make one, o legend of the woodshop.
My god...Its beautiful....
U R a true genius.....Job well done
looks awesome!
There's a video on the newsletter i received from Matthias some time ago with a guy making a fantastic one!
Too bad I can't remeber where it is... But it is just like a month (or less) ago
man, super video. loved it.
many well congratulations masters
a nice looking bowl.
When ever it comes time to separate a bowl from the faceplate Base I use a piece of printer paper and standard Elmer's wood glue with one good whack with a sharp chisel it should come right apart and all that is left is some sanding
Beautiful.
I think the bowl wouldve been cooler if it was segmented instead of round. Just my opinion though
with regards to what you said at the end, nothing is ever perfect. even machined parts.
the difference between a professional and an amateur isn't that a professional doesn't make mistakes, it's that they know how to hide them. looks professional to me.
Great job, man
I want 1 how much to buy? I collect hand made wooden stuff
Most wood species from North America are ok for food.
How many clamps do you have?!?! Over 9000?!?
nice looking bowl
That has got to be one expensive bowl.
why?
IT IS MADE OUT OF SOME MUCH WASTE MATERIAL
I loved it much when it was a polygon! anyway it's very beautiful!
Great job !
I can imagine his kids looking through his old workshop and finding this bowl of grate persision
Another fantastic video! :)
Noooo. :o don't round it out. Keep it edged :p looks so much better
I like how it still looks edged while being smooth and round.
fair :)
I would have preferred to see either the inner or outer part turned, but not both. The contrast between the edged and rounded parts would make the piece more interesting. But that is just personal preference, great build either way.
Allright, first $500 takes it :)
