Erik Your opening statement is nothing more than the voice of reason and common sense. Can't understand anybody having so much of a problem with it that they have to leave. But that's the crazy world we live in.
This video is over a year old, but I'm seeing it for the first time, Awesome. I agree from others, I'm having trouble figuring out how the pieces were cut
Wow incredible Erik. I will be trying this sometime in the future! I’ve been going back and work through your videos to see what I have missed. Take care!
Thanks Eric - this is brilliant! So creative and visually stimulating, The preparation must have taken a long time and a lot of patience - but what a result!
ua-cam.com/video/EbMG44BuFNw/v-deo.html Thanks Billy! Here is another way to do the same thing with wood. I ripped the stock with a 30% angle paralelogram stick and then took three of them and glued them into rods making the 6 sided rods you saw the segments of and then cut them down to 1 3/8" segments and then glue and string clamp. not as hard as it might look like most things.
Your opening statement is the clearest advice that I have heard in the last 12 weeks! Your view of science chimes perfectly with my own, and the statement that science changes every nanosecond SHOULD be the response given whenever we are challenged that scientists say one thing today and change it tomorrow. My answer to that is usually "YES!" Science changes with the evidence, so the advice MUST change along with it. The more information we have, the more accurate the advice is. Therefore it is ESSENTIAL that testing continues and increases. That is the only way we can gather enough information to work out what helps, what doesn't and from there we will know the best way forward. Anyway, I didn't come here for that (it was a fine bonus though!). I love the way this works, it twists the eye in the best way! (If I keep watching it spin, I'm gonna end up in your power, oh Master!!) Thanks for both the woodwork and the inspiration!
Thank you so much Phil, I just got done responding to someone who is leaving my channel because of my opening statement, so I appreciate your comment more than you can imagine. Thanks again and stay safe and keep on keeping on!
@@ErikAnderson1 I think we both know that there will always be a hard core of people within any situation who will simply refuse to see what is right in front of their eyes. Whether they be religious fundamentalists, political extremists (both left and right), even Holocaust deniers. We will never change their minds and I've given up trying. We just need to try to hold onto our own beliefs and hope that enough people are like-minded to ensure that those hard cores never grow to be the majority. Sorry, I get quite passionate about this stuff! (For us Brits, I can assure you this is passionate with a capital "P"!!) Please know that there ARE like-minded folks out here, and if people unsubscribe, it is THEIR loss! You walk your own path, and people will always walk with you! Keep your chin up and keep turning some of the best woodwork on UA-cam!
Hi Erik. We are doing pretty well in Australia but I totally agree that social distancing and staying vigilant is the key. I hope there isn't a second wave. Onto the piece, one of the best uses of 3/4 birch ply I have seen!
Great piece, Erik! What a unique idea. I’ve turned plywood before but never a composite of so many small off-cuts. Fabulous result! It really does look like an Escher drawing.
Tumbling Blocks is an old traditional quilt pattern that transfers well into woodworking. And it is ok if the grain lines are “tumbling” in random order. Nicely done, esp working past the problem areas. Looks good!
Nice platter Erik. It was hard to notice the blocks that are out of order until you mentioned them. Moral: Don't point out your mistakes. They may never be noticed. Also, make extra segments. You never know when one may be needed. Thank you for sharing. And please stay healthy. You're right, it ain't over yet.
Thanks Glen and I always point out my mistakes as that is what makes it a teaching and learning moment. I also am a firm believer in the fact that perfection is unatainable but beautiful imperfection is the most beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful . It’s a great shame you didn’t show the cutting and glue up of the original rods. My brain is hurting thinking about it. Well done and thanks again
Sorry I didn't start shooting video earlier but it is waht it is. I didn't think I was even going to do a video on this because it takes away from my concentration on the turning. 5-6 hrs not including drying time!
How many coats of urethane? For 35-40 years I have used it on all bowls..after water base showed up I put it on after 2 coats of oil base..often 7-8 coats are put on and gently buffed with rotten stone and baby oil with a soft cotton rag.. keep up the good work..I enjoy it..urethane is 4 to 5 times harder than lacquer..and easier on my lungs..
Thanks Terry. I used 6-7 coats on the bottom and on the top I used thin CA glue as this will not be for food. I wanted to really seal and impregnate the wood to help it bond together even more hence the ca glue.
Sorry Chuck, I have friends that work on the front lines and they confided in me two weeks ago and Iwanted to share some thoughts. I am again very sorry about my rant but I promised them I would make some mention on my videos. One of them told me stories in tears and I have a 78 year old mother who contracted Covid19 and is doing better but not out of the woods yet. I hope you can understand and I usually don't do this type of thing but we are in different times now. I hope you will come back and watch more videos in the futrure.
Erik Anderson I have a great deal of respect for you, taking the time to compose this thoughtful reply. I shall resubscribe in the trust that you will refrain in the future from using your UA-cam channel as a bully pulpit to offer “guidance” on any topic but woodturning. Thank you.
Thanks Chuck. I usually just let the video do the talking but I have done several videos with an opening statement lately due to this pandemic. I get it you don't need to see more crap about more crap. I have been adversely affected by this and just wanted to share. Sorry again for the fact that it was offputting for you. Be well turn safe and I will try my best to refrain from this in the future! Thank you for your perspective!
Very cool piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kent

Thank you so much David, stay safe mate, and lets stop the spread of this Covid19.

Thank you so much for the nod Valerie!
What a wonderful piece!! A beautiful optical illusion pattern! Stay safe.
Thanks Auntmick!
Looks great Erik, reminds me of that old video game q-bert 😀
Thanks Bill

Thanks
That is so gorgeous! I love how intricate the pattern is!
Thank you Carol
Great looking piece Erik. Unique piece, I like it a lot.
Thanks Stephen
Hey Erik-Tucson has been hit hard....at least your Mayor is trying to do the right things.....KEEP SAFE
Thanks Rami, I know you too!
Absolutely wonderful . It’s a great shame you didn’t show the cutting and glue up of the original rods. My brain is hurting thinking about it. Well done and thanks again
Thasnks if you pause the video when I show the still at the beginning of the parts unglued you can get an I dea of how I did it.
If I could, I would give you more upvotes, especially for planning and assembly. How many hours invested in that beautiful turning? Nice work!
Sorry I didn't start shooting video earlier but it is waht it is. I didn't think I was even going to do a video on this because it takes away from my concentration on the turning. 5-6 hrs not including drying time!
Hi Erik, That is spectacular. The tumbling block bowl is on my list of things I want to do. Wish me luck. Take care Erik. Cheers, Huw
You got it Huw! Have a good turn! Thank you!
Stay safe, Barry White!!
Thanks Shawn
Hi Erik I find plywood difficult to work with but done a good job. looks cool.
Thanks Manjit.
Stunning piece of work. how many hours did it take for the glue up?/
3hrs glue up and another 2.5 hrs to turn and finish
How many coats of urethane? For 35-40 years I have used it on all bowls..after water base showed up I put it on after 2 coats of oil base..often 7-8 coats are put on and gently buffed with rotten stone and baby oil with a soft cotton rag.. keep up the good work..I enjoy it..urethane is 4 to 5 times harder than lacquer..and easier on my lungs..
Thanks Terry. I used 6-7 coats on the bottom and on the top I used thin CA glue as this will not be for food. I wanted to really seal and impregnate the wood to help it bond together even more hence the ca glue.
How did you initially mount the blank? Woodworm screw? Glue block? Something else? Really like the project and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Quentin
I mounted it with 6 screws and a small faceplate. I made the mortice and shaped the bottom then flipped it around,
I don't watch turning videos to be lectured sanctimoniously about virus nonsense. Wish you would have struck to turning. I have unsubscribed.
Sorry Chuck, I have friends that work on the front lines and they confided in me two weeks ago and Iwanted to share some thoughts.
