Beautiful work. I really like the way you do your videos. Having you describe what you are doing is better than the turners that say nothing. Keep up the great work and God bless.
is there anyone else who actually knows very little about wood turning but finds these videos relaxing and pleasant to watch. I wouldn't mind a few more explainations - partly because I don't undestand a lot of what I'm watching, and partly because - while not quite at the level of Bob Ross - I find her voice fairly soothing. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
Hi Patrick! You’re not alone, there are a fair number of my subs who are not turners or woodworkers and I’m glad you guys are finding the videos entertaining and enjoyable. As another huge fan of Bob Ross, I’m thrilled to be included in the same sentence 😁
Great video and a beautiful bowl. Thank You for explaining what and why you're using the different tools. I'm fairly new at turning and I appreciate explanations of possible problems and solutions. I worked with steel for 50 years and love beautiful wood. I retired at 73 and giving it a try.
Hi Ralph, thanks so much. I’m still learning but am making some good progress and hopefully I can give you guys some insight into any issues I may run into. I get lots of suggestions from fellow turners in the comments so there’s lots of help 😁
Thanks Joseph! This is actually ambrosia maple and the coloration (and holes) are from the ambrosia beetle. No spalting in this one, but it sure is pretty! 😁
It’s a particular grind that Stuart Batty perfected - 40deg bevel and 40deg wings. Look him up on UA-cam - there are a bunch of videos where he’s done workshops with turning groups and explains/demonstrates. He also has a really awesome set of instructional videos on Vimeo and they are free. It’s a wealth of information.
Ambrosia maple is really gorgeous. Hoping to get my hands on some from “in the wild” so I can cut the blank and get some of the amazing crown-looking grain from the center
Beautiful bowl Lisa. Plenty of character. The lines drive me bonkers also. I think the softer the wood the worse they get. Super narration as usual. TY for posting!
Me too - my favorite is cherry but I think it’s so cool how each wood has a very distinctive smell - most are good, a few are very stinky. Like green (wet or unseasoned) butternut. Blech!
Hi Lisa, as a novice turner I am experiencing some of the same issues you speak of in this video. Makes me feel a little better lol. Your bowl is awesome!
Thanks Helen, I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I’ll be spending Easter in the workshop roughing out bowl blanks from a bunch of very wet birch I picked up yesterday 😁
Hi Charles! I’ve not turned it before but have been wanting to and am so glad I did! I’m really pleased with how this turned out. The Ack’s is great stuff and easy to use. I also use Brad’s wood paste and tung wax in some projects, which gives a lower luster/sheen - depends on what I’m looking for. Both are great people to work with and I’m happy to support small businesses in our community. 😁
That is a fantastic and lovely figured final piece, Lisa! And, you make my ears so happy when you describe sealing with a one pound cut of shellac, instead of sanding sealer watered-down, or however other people describe it.
Thanks David! Agreed, I know some of my issues are losing bevel support more often than I’d like. I’m also going to eliminate the spindle adapter and just use my SuperNova2 which is a direct thread for my lathe. I am getting a little runout from the spindle adapter/G3 chuck combo. Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave me a comment-I really appreciate it 😁
@@LisaRamlow I’ve acquired a load of sycamore with the green stripes and as it dries the stripes fade to a brown spalting pattern - can’t wait for it to dry out n turn some!
Thanks Bill! I’ve already fulfilled my minimum requirements for the funnel club (and have the t-shirt to prove it 😂) so I’m gonna try really hard to make bowls. Unless I want to make a lamp shade, which I may do, and then a funnel would be Ok 😁
Wow! Such a beautiful piece! What a difference a kiln dried piece of wood makes. It cut so cleanly. You did a very nice job with the bead, who needs a beading tool lol.
Lovely bowl Lisa, I really like the look of that ambrosia maple and that one looks excellent, love the shape and of course the finish.......well done and thanks! Cheers Al
Gorgeous bowl Lisa! Full marks (no pun intended!) for your persistent work to remove the scratches. And of course not going thru the bottom - a problem I often have with my deep hollow forms. Chris
Hi Chris! Yep, I got my official Lifetime Member of The Woodturner’s Funnel Club t-shirt a few weeks ago. I’ve been inducted more times than I care to admit 😂 Hollow forms - are you using a hollowing system? I’d like to get one at some point
@@LisaRamlow Hi Lisa! I've tried many methods of hollow turning within my modest price range. For larger hollow forms, the best I came up with was a thick strong long bar that replaces the toolrest with a loose swiveling U shape on the end allowing the fulcrum to be as close to the tool tip as possible. For chisels I use 18" x 3/4" solid round bars with straight and curved ends with soldered on 3/8" tips and 24" heavy handles. The scraper I use is similar but uses square section bar with a large rotatable scraper end approx 1"×2". Two more extremely indispensable tools are a suitable sized spoon on the end of a thick dowel to dig out the shavings (which build up very fast and can bind the tool and snap the turning right off it's base) and a very strong light source to enable you to guess the wall thickness as you go. Oh, and turn green and into the end grain for best results. And it's so easy to get a catch and smash the rim of the tiny opening at the top. It takes lots of practice! I can't for the life of me remember the tool supplier as I purchased the kit 20 years ago. I'm sure that other subscribers will come up with more modern methods. Best of luck, it's extremely satisfying when you finish your first thin walled deep hollow form with a 1-2" opening. Chris
I can totally relate to the issues with trying to remove the lines (due to my 30 year old lathe coming close to it's final spin and wobble - upgrading soon). The wood is gorgeous and I am glad you went with the bowl, just beautiful. Once again, Lisa, Well Done!
@@LisaRamlow That would be awesome! I keep my tools sharp and sharpen them as I go along. If there is something else that would attribute to the lines, I would like to know. Appreciate you!
It came out very nice! Persistence and refusing to just live with the marks paid off. Hmmm. I have yet to fonish a project with just the Ack’s products alone. I want to make sure the wood is sealed, especially the end grain, of course. “Don’t be a jerk!” Ha ha ha. So random and funny. Made me laugh!
Hi Dave! I am actually not using the Ack’s anymore, I’m using Brad’s Tung Wax or Tung Honey, or Tried & True Original Finish or Danish Oil, or Mahoney’s walnut oil. All drying oil finishes so as to penetrate the wood and cure, rather than mineral oil wax. 👍
great job keep it up
thanks Mark!
Beautiful work. I really like the way you do your videos. Having you describe what you are doing is better than the turners that say nothing.
Keep up the great work and God bless.
Thank you Kevin, it took me a while to figure out what kind of format you guys wanted to watch so I appreciate the feedback 😁
It's hard to know what you are doing unless you tell us.
Maybe some viewers are clairvoyant. (LOL) But I'm not so just keep doing it the way you are.
You have a nice, and thorough, way of explaining things. I got a lot out of this.
Hi Paul, I’m so glad. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment and let me know 😊
Great looking bowl. I'm glad that someone else has the problem of not being able to get lines out of their bowls. It is a beautiful looking bowl.
Thanks Joey! Hi f I figure it out I’ll let you guys know 😁
is there anyone else who actually knows very little about wood turning but finds these videos relaxing and pleasant to watch.

Hi Lewis, thanks so much, I appreciate that. It’s a little nervewracking so I’m glad it’s enjoyable 😁

Thanks Joseph! This is actually ambrosia maple and the coloration (and holes) are from the ambrosia beetle. No spalting in this one, but it sure is pretty! 😁
Such an amazing end result. wow.
Thank you Bryan. That one didn’t take long to sell 😁
I love the delicacy and lightness of this bowl. It's a lovely piece and the bread enhances it beautifully.
Thank you Ingrid, I’m really pleased with how it turned out 😁
Beautiful bowl!! Love working with ambrosia maple.
Thanks Jack, this is my first time 😁

Beautiful results. Like that you included the bead.
