  • In this Woodturning project, we're going to be trying something new - partial segmented turning. Segmented turning is a type of turning where the workpiece is divided into small, individual pieces that are turned by hand.
    This is a pretty challenging Woodturning project, so be sure to watch the video tutorial carefully and take along the supplies listed to make sure you have a successful experience!
    If you're looking for a fun and challenging project to do in your spare time, try out this Woodturning experiment - it'll be worth it!
    Thanks for watching and feel free to leave comments in the chat below.

    Very nice! Thanks for sharing. To clear the finishing pastes out of the grooves you might try a soft toothbrush. Put the polish rag downhill from the brush and it will catch the clean out. If you use your wife's toothbrush, be sure to put it back before she catches you!
    Take care, Dave

    I love the bowl and the grain in the holm oak. Well done as usual.
    The "spirits" aka "Murphy" in my shop would not allow me to do a single step glue-up without some issues. You did well to have no glue gaps.
    Machinists like to use a "V" piece to clamp round items. The "V" provides two points of contact on the round work. I now do the same if I need to clamp round wood items. It is easy to cut a shallow "V" e.g., 5 - 10 deg angle in a piece of scrap.
    I would have been tempted to put burn lines in the bottom of the bead to accentuate the bead.
    Dave.

    • @MikeHolton
      @MikeHolton  Рік тому

      Thanks Dave, I love the idea of a burn line, it's not something I ever do. I will look into a V clamp as the give away bowl will need a lot of clamping"

      Hi Rob, of course you are quite right. I've had a stack of 5 6" blanks on my shelf for ages and not turned one of them. Having never turned it before I did not realise how nice it was until it was already in half. I'm trying to get my hands on more now before I turn the rest of what I have. Such a shame it's not a UK species of wood.

    Thank you Mike; you are brave enough to try the experiments, and we all get to learn; I love the generosity of your approach. The bowl is great, the contrasts in the woods enhance the look for sure. - And sensible to use two colours for the strips not three; can't miss one out! 😀 Keep up the good work!

    • @MikeHolton
      @MikeHolton  Рік тому +1

      Hi Greg, 100% agree with you, I have had 4 of these holm oak blanks on my shelf for forever and because they were not huge(6") I've not bothered with them, plus I had not turned holm oak before so I had no idea how amazing the grain was. When I started turning I got a bit of a shock at how nice the grain was and I am now trying to buy larger pieces of it.

    Hi Mike, love your work, I have just come across your channel, and so appreciate your steady approach without all the hype, so relaxing to watch. I wonder if you have considered a Chinese diesel heater, I've got one in my workshop which is 14x7 and it works very well in the colder months, makes wood working much more enjoyable. Regards Trevor
