- Better late than never, I finally got around to the July President's Challenge. See how I dip into my experience working with flat wood to come up with a way to use commercial veneer to embellish wood turnings. And of course, there are the usual mishaps that always seem to happen as soon as the camera starts rolling.
Very nice! One of my favorite wood turning channels. Thanks for sharing
Both bowls look great! Amazing work and I appreciate your videos!
Success..... again! I envy your skill set Brian
Excellent application. Like work. From Brazil, MY FRIEND.
LOL! the sequence totally got me with the tear out on the screw chuck was a total laugh for me. even dudes as awesome as you make mistakes. Oh and consider going metric. So much easier. 10mm deep for the screw chuck hole...
Great work Brian.All platters very nice.Roger Barossa Valley South Australia.
I never thought of using veneers on woodturning thank you for sharing this information and thank you for leaving your videos up I just started woodturning about 2 3 years ago so I'm new at this and I appreciate all the ideas of I've got here what would if you would have started sanding instead of scraping to remove the paper
Very nice. I had not considered veneer for this application. I will now. I like both methods you used. They both look very sharp.
Thank you Brian, another excellent and informative video that has us thinking "out of the box" (or platter!). I think the nuance of recessing the veneer is actually quite dramatic and perhaps would further protect the veneer edge? However, for one piece a great deal more work. If production turning with templates and doughnuts made, maybe not so bad to have to process. Thanks again Brian, you are inspiring us!
Very beautiful work; it is inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Marc
Very nice Brian,
Cheers Colin.
Excellent...!
Cheers...
Molto bravo un saluto dall Italia 🇮🇹 (Portofino)
Wow. Awesome.
Dat fire alarm
Great work, Brian.
For the raised bead laminate, couldn't you vacuum bag to clamp the laminate? That would save the step of making custom clamping cauls for each size plate on your project list. -- Dave
Zenmaniac That would certainly work, but I assume that most woodturners would not have a vacuum press setup.
Brian Havens You're right. I happen to also build composite RC sailplanes.
But a simple manual vacuum system is pretty easy and cheap (
Very nice effect, I like it a lot. How did you avoid the veneer glue up leakage on the second attempt? And for the record, I vote for the veneer ring to be below the platter rim. - rick
NEB3310 I did not avoid the leakage, but I cleaned off the wax paper bits using naphtha. The remaining glue residue I sanded on the lathe. I am thinking that using a sheet of plastic is a better way to go; that is what I use when veneering flat wood.
lovely work! how small can the space for the chuck lips can be? and that it would still be safe to work at
haim hen It depend on a couple of factors. If you get the rebate just the right size, such that the gap between the chuck jaws are about 1/16" to 1/8", the jaws will be close to a perfect circle. In this state, the jaws exert a nicely even pressure around the rebate, so that you can get away will as little as a 1/8" deep rebate on maple, perhaps 3/16 on poplar. The other advantage of getting the rebate just the right size is that the jaws will not mar the work, so you can leave the rebate in the final product.
Why no new videos?
