Another exciting adventure at the lathe! Bravo. The story of your youth reminded me of a BBC movie news reel I saw as a kid about the spaghetti harvest in Italy. I still remember the happy peasant girls hanging the fresh picked pasta on the clothesline to dry.
So turns out breaking up is not so hard to do! Thanks for another informative video. For a turning newbie like me, seeing that it even happens to experienced turners is helpful.
I really admire experience turners who take a chance on difficult projects like this. I lack the experience and courage to try pieces with such large voids. It's a shame. The bowl was looking beautiful. Better luck next time.
Hi Rick. Bummer! But thank you for being the cautionary woodturner for us. Wish I had magic fingers too. As always an enjoyable and instructive watch. Cheers!
Rick, Your videos always brighten my day. What a shame about the break. I do feel for you! But a great video in the 'Break Turns' tradition! Maybe a short walk down memory lane would make you feel better, getting out in the fresh air for a bit of hunting & trapping some of that 'ol Office Supplies' stuff you used to do.
Thanks for watching, V. I tracked down a wild file cabinet just yesterday, but I didn't have the heart to shoot it, so I let it go. Those things are fast!
Dang it, Rick! That was looking really good and the pegs really set it off. I knew it was coming but then I thought, "what if he's just kidding us with the disaster part?" Alas, you weren't kidding. Shoot! See ya next video! Phil
Rick nice work but I find of all the wood that I turn cherry is the one most likely to explode. I live in Ireland and I am not sure if its the same species of cherry that we have over here.
I don't know what species of cherry I was using. It generally turns very well, but I happened to have a piece with a big rotten streak. Thanks for watching, Lakecaragh.
Great work Rick thankd=s for sharing ! i am reallhy dont like to turn charry because break to easy ! so must of good work and just break to 100 pieces you was lucky you break it only on two saw you can glue it and have a nice bowl !!! i also love the patern on the poplar wood !! thanks for sharing bro !!
Just 2 days ago I was turning a walnut beer mug with my Cole jaws. I was finishing the bottom when it popped off and hit me in the face. I was wearing a NAPA Face shield, so it stunned me for a second. I took off my shield and looked for blood, but it saved me. I finished the mug and went to bed. 14 hours later I woke up with a splitting headache. I may of had a concussion lol...not the first and surly not my last. Whoot whoot wood turning!
@@RickTurnsWoodturning the mug extended out 8 inches. I should of used a stabilizer jig, but I haven't made one yet lol. They are safe when you have the tools (and the knowledge)
I always enjoy your videos because you're down to earth and old school. Your sense of humor is entertaining. That being said, why didn't you use some more epoxy resin to shore up the weak spots BEFORE you continued? That cherry bowl was beautiful and I hated seeing it come apart on you. Some taped and resin may have saved it. Just asking. As always.... love your stuff man.
Taping the holes and pouring resin in might have helped. I don't think the epoxy putty I put in added any strength at all. The piece was pretty solid until I cut the bottom too thin, and then caught my gouge! Thanks for watching, Nathan.
Well, you've seen me destroy my share. Sometimes we're the windshield, sometimes we're the bug. I like the contrast of the cedar with the poplar. Billy
Hi Rick, Had an old dry piece of oak explode in my face a few months back. If I see visible cracks in the wood, or in this case some serious voids I will think twice before turning it. Are you familiar with the Japanese art of Kintsugi? Basically they take porcelain vessels and break them on purpose and glue them back together again. I ended up doing the same on my oak bowl. I think you could salvage that piece that broken in half with gumption, superglue and epoxy!
A shame that the bowel broke. Larry, and Gary are too. they want to know when you will start making turning videos? Joking here . Did you glue it together with CA glue? I would have tried it. For sure it won't hold soup now.
Dont worry Rick at least you have the guts to turn such a piece most people would of stoped when the found the 2 great holes your determination is admirable, i hope your hand is alright buddy, take care! Oh and awesome poplar bowl love the cedar pegs great combo. 😊
All you heard from me was a big OHNOOOOO!!! my son came running into the room, he thought I got hurt. I'm willing to bet that some Titebond 3 and 1/2 quart of epoxy would cure that crack. Keep em coming. Regards from Long island.
Do you have any videos that Don't end in disaster? I liked the work its too bad about the cherry bowl I liked the pegging I was happy to see it turned out so well on the poplar bowl. Its good stuff keep it coming.
I've seen a number of videos about the Laguna Revo, and the specs on it look good. I haven't used it, however. Check the "SG Art Turning" channel - I believe Simon has a Laguna and he could probably offer a recommendation.
Im not in to the peg idea but that first bowl wad beautiful . Just an idea for you id think that would have looked great with a spot of glue and two iron straps rivited . The failer was not a snag it was the tailend on that rotton centre piece . Great video its never a fail if you learn from it
Any tips on how I too can be a waffle wrangler? Should I start picking pancakes first? P.S. Sorry about the cherry bowl, but the poplar turned out beautiful!
Thanks for watching and commenting, taytase. I suggest attending the American Institute of Breakfast Agriculture of America. They offer undergrad degrees in waffle raising.
Sometimes, that bigger hammer just breaks the nut. Glue and clamp time, my man! Also, find a mold the turn fits in, and cast some metal or resin in those gaps. Every failure is a chance to find a more creative solution!
Tap trees like four collecting maple sap but this time you are puting coloring in then leave it in for a year or so before you cut the tree down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a shame to lose the bowl. I really like your addition of decorative pegs as a detail! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Don.
I always enjoy your commentary. The crash is only a small part of this video, but I learned from the whole video ! Keep them coming sir.
Jon
Thank you for your comments, Jon.
Rick...your videos are very instructive and entertaining....thank you for sharing everything....
Thank you, Dick.

LOL...great response! Thanks for watching, Pat.
Don't feel so bad. I usually mess up something every once in awhile. But I learn something from each disaster. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, Harry.
Love how you add the mess ups. Gives me hope for when I start turning, knowing even the experienced guys have problems. 👍
I definitely have problems sometimes! Thanks for watching.
Unlucky Rick, so close to finishing as well. Two great looking bowls. Love the peg design on both. 👍
Thank you, Sam.
I am actually very impressed of your skill avoiding a catch for so long with such holes in the bowl!
Thank you, Jose.

Luck has nothing to do with it. I work hard at breaking woodturnings! It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. Thanks for watching, Dan.

Oh man! Bad break. Glad you converted it with the snap finger. I started out fetching nitrogen blankets and sky hooks.

Thank you, Billy. I shall have to concentrate - I don't want to be the bug. Actually, I don't want to be the windshield either.

It would take a good bit of epoxy! Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching, Joshua.
It is irritading when this happens. Good rehersal though😆
All the best, Júlíus
Thank you, Julius.
Those pegs look real purdy. First time I've seen that.
Thanks for watching my videos, lambiepie. And for your comments. I think all of us UA-cam creators love to get comments.
You should look at buying Rubber Chuckies for that stage turning. I did. They work wonders for me.
I've seen those before on the website, and they do look useful. I'll have to take another look. Thanks for the tip, Ouabache.
And it was so close to being complete! Nevertheless, it was still a nice looking bowl, and I really liked the poplar one as well - lovely grain.
Thank you, Conrad.
its good to see how things can go wrong so fast so be careful
Thanks for watching, Chico.

Thank you, Afshin. (Most people would probably have had better sense and stopped when the full extent of the rotten part was revealed!)
thems the breaks, just keep cracking on, gotta split, :D thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, phantm.
Its always in the last minute funny about that lol
Thanks for watching, Steve.
If you’d have worked as a French toast frisbee flyer in your earlier days you could have caught those flying pieces. 😳👍🇺🇸

I try to keep a good mixture of disaster videos and success videos on my channel! Thanks for watching, Joseph.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning is there a lathe you would recommend? I'm looking at the Laguna revo but I'm unsure.

After that performance, your new nickname could be "Bandaids". Still interesting, and educational..….
Thank you, Ken!
Just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?
Loved the Star Trek warning effect..
Thanks for watching, K.
Is it possible to save that failed cherry bowl with resin?
I'm afraid not. Too broken. I did a job on it! Thanks for watching, Katzztar.
Was beautiful!
Thank you, Irene.
Man that sucked it was going to be a very nice bowl :'( But the other one you showed looked great though
Thank you, Russell.
In hindsight may I suggest. milliput?
Thanks for the suggestion, Shamrock. I had some epoxy putty, but it didn’t seem necessary at the time. Oops!
Glad you were not hurt, Rick. The number of views indicate how much folks like to watch a train wreck.
It was exciting! I’m sure glad I had the cameras running.
Im not in to the peg idea but that first bowl wad beautiful . Just an idea for you id think that would have looked great with a spot of glue and two iron straps rivited . The failer was not a snag it was the tailend on that rotton centre piece . Great video its never a fail if you learn from it
Thanks for watching and commenting, JF.
That was supposed to be “JD”.
Maybe get all Frank Howarth on the first attempt? Nice magical end to the video!
Thank you, Dave. I find magic to be much easier than woodturning.
Any tips on how I too can be a waffle wrangler? Should I start picking pancakes first?
P.S. Sorry about the cherry bowl, but the poplar turned out beautiful!

Unlucky Rick, a good idea though.
Cheers

Thank you, Jim.
Oh no and I really liked it unti it blew away. Love the poplar
Thank you so much, Cathy.
Too funny, thanks for sharing
Thank you, Mitchell.
You should glue that bad boy up!
Thanks for watching, Judy.
Rick I find you to be Tim Allen's alter ego Tim the Tool man Taylor. 😬 Thanks for reminding me to add more coverage on my accident insurance. 😎💉💊👍
I am glad that my screw-ups can result in more profit for the insurance industry! Thanks for watching, Shamrock.
I love the bowl with the natural hole such a shame how it ended 😢
It was a disappointment, that's for sure. I could have kicked myself for getting careless. Thanks for watching, Linda.
As long as your ok it doesn't matter
Thank you, Paul.
Moose and squirrel, always mess it up.
@7:26 you need wood stabilizer, then resin. I smell a snag coming up!
@10:07 Or epoxy it up. Bigger hammer, etc. :D
Sometimes, that bigger hammer just breaks the nut. Glue and clamp time, my man! Also, find a mold the turn fits in, and cast some metal or resin in those gaps. Every failure is a chance to find a more creative solution!
All right! Someone recognized my reference to the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show! Awesome! Thanks for watching, zwilnik.
I thought i had bad luck,you need to see a doctor buddy,it could be contagious! 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤣🤣🤣🤣
The doctors won't see me, they say it's too dangerous. Thanks for watching, Alan.
You can do magic!
Yes, it's a gift but it's also a curse! Voldemort keeps coming after me. Thanks for watching, Irene.
Lo siento mucho Rick
Son cosas que pasan pero con tu magia lo as arreglado 😂😂😂👍
¡Esa magia me ha sacado de muchas vueltas malas! Gracias por ver, Andres. (Translation by Google Translate, hope it makes sense.)
@@RickTurnsWoodturning 👍
hi liked the vid glad you did not get to hurt
Thank you, Crog.
If you what color in your wood , tap a tree with colored food coloring !
I tried tapping on trees - when that didn’t work, I hit them really hard. That didn’t work either. Thanks for watching, Dave.
Tap trees like four collecting maple sap but this time you are puting coloring in then leave it in for a year or so before you cut the tree down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, that would take a long time to make a bowl! :-) Thanks for watching, Dave.
Some time we mek
Make mistakes but next time we do better 👍🏼
Thank you, Tomas. I appreciate you watching my videos and I appreciate your comments.
Rick, have you considered taking up Bloodletting as a hobby instead?
LOL. Sounds like a good idea. It would probably be safer. Thanks for watching, Billy.
I'd love to try to fix the one that broke. We're you able to?
It wasn’t worth it, I’m afraid. Thanks for watching.
