You are very welcome and I love your comments...very well done. I do have the Cherry Plum done and I just had to run this one first. And it really turned out nice. I will run it in 2 weeks. Take care my friend, Gary
WHAT A DELIGHT! How you can get 140 individual components that you have made up is infinite care in the extreme. I have NO idea what drives you to this level, it HAS to stem from your previous job. Whatever it is you are a 'Master of Your Craft'. If I ramble on, please forgive me because you take my breath away with your 'work'. Fantastic finish completes the Master Class that you did not intend to set up in the first place.
Thank you Donald. Well to help you understand I was a Journeyman Wood Pattern Maker for a living. Everything I made had to be very precise as far as dimensions go. They were made from 2D drawings and ended up as 3D parts that were used in foundries to make metal castings. You can look up some of my very early videos to see some of what I made. Probably a wood workers dream job. As it was for me! ua-cam.com/video/lil3zwgc3Ok/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/lil3zwgc3Ok/v-deo.html This will give you an idea of what I did.
This artwork is so special form this piece just think will be around 200 years from now and you would have left the part of yourself on this Earth to live on so we're turning is a very special form of art and a part of yourself nice piece
Yeap i agree with Phil Anderson @ Shady Acres Woodshop. When he said " UA-cam's Master Segmented Turner!" That inside and bottom extra work was amazing. Thank You for sharing and keep em coming !
Thanks so much. I do love segment work and other types of glue up turnings. The inside and the outside was an after thought and happy I did it. Thanks again for watching. Gary
Good idea shaping and finishing the bottom rings liek you did...you folow this with the rest of the rings...looks great a very nice finish...cool idea with the bottomand inside blocks
Thank you Nan, I could put cookies in it but I would have to eat all of them right away before they got stale. LOL Here is one I did that would make a nice cookie jar and has a lid. ua-cam.com/video/8VuNwmfWtAw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary
As a quilter, I'm very partial to the tumbling blocks pattern. Seeing it made from beautiful woods is a treat. Thanks for sharing your wonderful skills.
Thank you Judith. They are fun to do. When I made that feature ring I cut out enough for 2 rings so I probably will make something using it and some other rings I duplicated. Thanks for watching, Gary
A bunch of years ago I learned how well that spray lacquer works out. I built and finished a Thompson-Center Hawken Rifle kit. I used the spray lacquer on the stock on multiple coats, wet/dry sandpaper to 800 grit, and the stock had a finish like glass. Like your barrel of blocks, you could turn the stock and as the light hit different parts of the grain, it would flash a glow. Your barrel is ten times that and absolutely knocks your eye out. Really wonderful work.
Hi Gary. Lovely turning start to finish (pun intended). Picked up the 3/16 x 10 tpi blade today so I can finish build the curved segment jig tomorrow. Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing, cheers Gord
What a beautiful piece! As you were starting this I couldn’t help but think it was like piecing a quilt as you cut and assembled the blocks. The result is stunning! 💕
Thank you so much! I guess you are right it is like putting a quilt...although I would be totally lost trying to make a quilt. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
Well good morning again Gary , well I licked that parallelogram issue.Went out and spent a few bucks on a starrett fractional dial calipers.and thanks to you l nailed it first try. As a matter a fact after I cut three pieces and try fit them I said out loud GARY WHO but did not mean it one bit. If it was not for your advice I most likely would have moved on to something else.thank you very much. Have a great day. Rick Knapp
Good morning Rick...and it is morning here 5:58am. Well that is great news and what a great way to start the morning. But like I said it is actually pretty easy to do. Now that you have that you will be able to make a 6 point star as well. Thanks for the great news it is great to hear. Gary
Beautiful turning Gary. Great instructional video. You never cease to amaze me, you have the patients of Job, the mind of Einstein and the hands of Michael Angelo.
Hi Gary....wow !!! That barrel is spectacular..I don't think that I have seen a more beautiful form ....the final touches on the bottom and inside are its crowning glory...very well done...take care in these crazy times....All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy I am pleased you like it. I almost showed what I was putting on the inside bottom but I edited that out so it could be a surprise. Glad I did! Yes very crazy times for sure. In California below is they are shutting most everything down. It is a day to day thing...you take care as well my friend. Gary
After all that work and the beautiful barrel of a bowl I felt sad to see you spray that lacquer on, but after watching with curiosity to see the end result, after sanding and polishing, WOW, now that's the way its done. I think so many turners just finish with lacquer because it takes so much to get a silky smooth glossy finish, sanding and such, especially if your creating a hibrid resin/wood piece. You can see the orange peel and scratches still, but not this one, #SUPERAMAZING Im glad I found your channel
Thank you very much for those kind words. Lacquer can be an issue with the orange peel for sure. As with any finish it is only as good as what you spray it on. Sanding the wood is the most important part of the finishing process. I sand in between each coat of lacquer as well. I probably use shellac more than lacquer but this job begged for a lacquer finish. Thank you for watching and your very kind comments. Gary
Thank you very much Kerry for your comments. I am happy that you found some inspiration in my videos. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care, Gary
Hi Papa: Through the past years I have watched lots of you tube video on how to. But I must say yours I truly enjoy,and it is also very inspiring to build bowls like yours. I think I am ready to build a barrel bowl. But I need a little help. What is the size of the diamonds I see in this video. I also don’t know how to measure or make the oak around the diamond. Could you show me or tell how to cut the oak. And the size of the oak. I also like how you turn the inside of the bowl/ barrel before adding on more rings. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Sometimes many of us can do good projects, but we can use some good professional help. I appreciate all your help. From the bottom of my heart thank you ever so much.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Coming up this Friday is something similar in a way. I hope you watch it and thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 you're too good Gary. I really appreciate your patience in your passion and in replying to each and every person in this box as well. Hats off to you.. 👏👏
Hi Gary, that's a beautiful piece. Would make a great ice bucket but would need a suitable segmented top. While turning I couldn't place the orange coloured wood but you said it was padauk. It certainly brought out that ring. Almost like tigers eye stone. Thanks for making and posting the video. Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤔🇬🇧😃🕊️🇺🇦🍌🇨🇦👍
Thank you Ron. Padauk goes nice with almost any other lighter wood. I still have thoughts of making a lid for this. Ice bucket might need a liner. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, This is a true work of art and I think your pattern maker days are showing in this piece! I've been into segmented turnings and wish I had 1/10th of your wood working knowledge,,,,you make it all look so easy and it really isn't! The finish is amazing as well! Thanks for this and all of your videos! Tom
Many thanks Thomas I appreciate your kind comments. It was a slow process but I have learned to not get rushed. It is not like I am at work...LOL Take care and be safe, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I was never a man who did much planning on a project and wanted them completed in a day! Segmented turning was a real challenge for me I'm many ways and it has taught me a lot in ways I never thought I could imagine! Funny how all my life I was in a hurry to do everything but after retiring I finally slowed down!
Absolutely STUNNING!!! What a magnificent looking piece of work. This has got to be one of the most beautiful barrels I have ever seen. Outstanding!!! ThankQ sir for your talent.
Wow, thank you! You comment has taken away all the pain from the yard work we just did..lol But I have some fresh trimmed Maple for more turnings. Thanks again, Gary
I really like your style in the workshop. You're clever, not afraid of doing some intricate sawing and gluing, and your work is exemplary. I LOVE that barrel - awesome job.
That does it, Gary. I declare you "UA-cam's Master Segmented Turner!" All of your segmented work is great but this one, maybe because of the barrel shape, is my favorite. Beautiful and useful. And the finish! You knocked it out of the park! And yeah, I kept trying to get a peek at the inside and you just weren't letting me! LOL! Nice surprise, inside and bottom. Really great job, Gary! Keep'em coming, my friend, and stay safe and healthy. Phil
Thank you Phil and I actually had video showing the inside and clipped it out. The barrel shape sort of developed on its own. But you know how that works. We think we know what we want and then when something shows up it is time to stop. I just came in from working on another glue up that is a nightmare of joints! Not to worry I have 3 beautiful bowls that are from logs. But they are scheduled 2 weeks out. I am doing a sort of a challenge next Friday that will be fitting for what we are all going through right now. Speaking of which I know it was bad up in your area so be safe and healthy as well. Gary
This is a stunning piece. Given a lot of folks are going to be staying at home I think a drawing/cutting list is a great idea. I am looking forward to it. Thanks for the video, it is inspiring.
Thank you Chris I will work on a video showing how to make the tumbling block and turn it into a segment for a feature ring. A cutting list would be easy although I really did not follow a list perfectly on this one.
I am a newbie to turning, so thanks for the inspiration. I have been saving small scraps of walnut, cherry, maple and white oak for years so the segmented projects are very appealing.
Beautiful work! I'm down here in southeast Texas, we don't have to many choices of wood, so when I got into turning it made sense to use dried wood and segment it all together! I think the few plates and bowls were a success, but there are always new challenges out there, this one here just might be my next project! I love the way it turned out....get it? Lol After two storms, rebuilding my mother's house twice from flooding, and my girlfriend's house, rebuilding my shop that had two feet of water, rebuilding a baby room for out 8 month old, building stair rails and spindles to keep baby safe, I think it's time for me to get back on the lathe for me! Turning the spindles were a heck of a lot harder than I thought, it became work and no pleasure! Time for some bowl turning for pleasure! I'm not getting any younger starting over at 59 I need a little shop time! Look forward to watching the rest of your videos! You surprised us with the bottom! I absolutely love that!
Amazing workmanship, Gary! Only from an Engineer. Patterns are breath taking. Colors are spectacular! I know it took a long time to put this together and I thank you for sharing with us. Only from the best(don’t get jealous Phil), you’re my favorite too! Thanks Gary, job well done.
Thank you very much. I do enjoy making them and have something else I have been thinking on but have not worked out all the kinks in my head yet. Thanks for watching, Gary
This is one of your Top 5"s on my list of your turnings... so far...
Thanks so much Dave. Happy you liked it. I know it was fun to make.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, this piece with all the colors would look great filled with rootbeer barrels!!
Thanks Michael! Wow I can not remember the last time I had one of those root beer barrels. Now I need to look for some.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, Amazon, $35.00 for 5lbs, Dad’s root beer barrels!
That should fill this easily enough. Maybe the next get together when all the grandkids are over.
Thank You Gary....You are thinking outside of the "BLOCKS"....and having a "BOWL" full of FUN....For you & us your viewers...Great stuff Gary...TM
You are very welcome and I love your comments...very well done. I do have the Cherry Plum done and I just had to run this one first. And it really turned out nice. I will run it in 2 weeks.
Take care my friend,

Turning the spindles were a heck of a lot harder than I thought, it became work and no pleasure! Time for some bowl turning for pleasure! I'm not getting any younger starting over at 59 I need a little shop time! Look forward to watching the rest of your videos!
You surprised us with the bottom! I absolutely love that!
Thank you very much Michael...have fun on that lathe!
