Hi Gord! I've been looking into trying basket illusion and just found your videos! I don't have any of the tools yet, but when I do, I'm going to start with a smaller piece like this!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
I hope you’ll enjoy making yours as much as I enjoyed making mine, Heather. It’s definitely a test of precision and a lot of fun as well. I’m glad you liked it.
Happy turning,
…..Gord
For the burn between the beads, I believe Daniel Vilarino uses a bamboo skewer. It might be faster/easier/better,......I dunno........ Nice project!
+James Goodin
Thanks for the tip, James! I will check it out.
Take care,
.....Gord
Nice one Gord!! I did a similar one a few weeks ago when practicing with the new pyro kit,even used the same Faber Castell pens. I didn't burn between the beads though,I just used the fine tip on the black pen,still,all good practice!! Take care my friend, Keith.
+Keith Barrow
Glad you liked it, Keith. Geez, I thought I had watched all of your videos but I didn't see that one. Did I just miss it or did you not publish a video of it? If not I'd like to see a photo of what you came up with if you don't mind!! Anyway, thanks for watching!
Take care, Keith,
.....Gord
Now that I've got my normal vision restored Gord.............brilliant video, and something I have added to my to do list. the effect is really amazing, and you did extremely well for a first attempt, as usual my friend, I am well impressed.
Take care
Mike
+Mike Waldt
Thanks very much, Mike. Sometimes I'm amazed that with my limited patience I can do things like this without getting bored. It sure is easier to be patient in the shop than anywhere else!
Take care, Mike,
.....Gord
Hi Gord! Lovely piece my friend! I have seen some of the work of David Nittmann and considering the size of some of his discs, I cannot help to wonder how long it would had taken to complete them. Looking you work on it gave me a backache :) That said, I think it is worth the effort, the results are brilliant! Cheers! Daniel
+Daniel Vilarino
Glad you liked it, Daniel. It was fun to do and I am working on #2 now and if it goes well I just may do more.
Thanks for your kind words, my friend,
.....Gord
HA! I don't care for the Nova indexing system either, so I just took delivery on my Alisam jig a couple of days ago. Something about great minds apply here?
+Gerald Jensen
That must be it, Gerald, what else could it be? ;-)
Very cool idea. Definitely beyond my patience, though. Thanks for sharing.
+AnkleBiter Woodworks
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

.....Gord
Thanks, it’s always fun watching you explore new projects 👍😀
Glad you liked it, Chuck. 😃😃 Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Great demo Gord. For burning the groves, I have used oak veneer edge banding. They come in 3/4" width and bend to the contour well. Thanks for sharing.
+David Sutton
Thanks for the tip, David! I think I have some around here somewhere and I will give it a try. Thanks for watching!
.....Gord
Hi Gord - good tutorial thanks.
Question -- Is there no need to apply the hot glue to the face also - thanks
Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada
Hi Dennis,
I never use hot glue on the surface if I can use it around the outside of the piece I'm gluing up.
I don't trust that I will have the same thickness of glue at all points and after going to the trouble of making both surfaces flat I want them to be put together tightly.
I have never had a hot glue joint come apart. I make sure that the glue is as hot as my glue gun can get it and I use plenty of glue.
Hope that helps, Dennis. Thanks for watching!
.....Gord
Very nice Gord. Good thing we do this for fun because you would have to get $1000 dollars for the amount of time you have in it. One question on the face plate. Do you put thin ca on the threads to make them stronger? Thanks
Scott
+Scott Gaber
LOL! You got that right, Scott. If it wasn't fun this would get tedious very quickly. But then what would we do??? No, I have never used CA glue on the threads as I use hardwoods and can make as many as I want if the threads ever give up. It's cheaper than CA glue is and I enjoy making them.
Take care,
.....Gord
Awesome lesson Gord !! Thanks a million for showing a very well described process !! Regards, Steve.
+Templeboy Turnings
Glad you liked it, Steve. Thanks a lot!
Take care,
.....Gord
Thanks for sharing that technique Gord. I'd not seen that before but will give it a try On of these days. Take care, Steve
+Steve Lindsley
Hi Steve,
I'm not know for being a very patient guy but this was actually kind of fun. Try it, you might like it.
Take care,
.....Gord
Wow that was a lot of work Hats off to you. I also wanted to thank you for building your bandsaw sled I copied your design but made it longer I can resaw 4 to 5 footers I just love it I am 74 with some limitations but i would love to have a sawmill so this is as close as i am going to get Thank you. How could i send some pictures H.R. Bradley
+Haley Bradley
I'm glad you enjoyed it and the bandsaw sled as well, Haley. I'd like to see any pictures you'd like to send to me. You can send them to: gordrocks123 AT gmail DOT com. Thanks for watching & commenting.
.....Gord
That turned out cool Gord. Way beyond my attention span to do but I did watch you do it, so maybe ? Great lesson either way, thanks.
Take care my friend and do a kindness
Mark
+MARK Baid
Thanks for watching, Mark. I'm glad you liked it.
Take care, Mark,
.....Gord
Gord, you did well with this project. It came out pretty darn good for a first time. One suggestion I might add is to burn the line between the beads so the paint will not bleed into the next bead. It creates a barrier and also adds to the finished quality. And it looks better in my opinion. Try it for yourself and see what you think. Keep them coming Gord. These videos are wonderful and very helpful to our turning community.
Thank you for the tip, Larry. I will try to remember that next time I do one of those. That seems to be the challenge! Thanks for watching!
Take care,
.....Gord
Excellent video and explanations. Like the speed up on some of the turnings. Suggestion: when you scribe the pencil lines on the piece, could you not go fully across the piece as opposed to scribing on only one side. Seems to me you would save time changing setting on indexing wheel
+Normand Charette
I'm glad you liked the video, Normand! Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought of that and it's such an obvious and great idea. I'll use it on my next effort. Thanks for watching, Normand.
Take care,
.....Gord
Very nice demo Gord. On my to do list.... thanks for sharing. Marc
+Marc 's Oneway of turning
Thanks very much, Marc. I hope you enjoy it yourself one of these days.
Take care,
.....Gord
You just got to want to do it,then comes the practice to get it right.Time is my only enemy,I am 80 years old but still hanging on to make nice things.
Well, I have not hit 80 yet but I’m not too far behind you. I can’t imagine giving up. It’s too much fun turning to ever stop. Thanks for watching!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
I thought segmenting took a lot of patience, wow! I agree, burning the lines between the beads looks much better. I wonder if you could use the pyrography skew tip while the lathe is turning very slowly? I guess it depends on how much the pyrography set costs and how brave you are. ;-) Your method works just fine, but we don't have access to the card stock that you use. Very interesting idea...can't wait to see a full blown project, now that you are a pro at it. By the way...FIRST WITH SOMETHING TO SAY.
+Gil Grace
I don't think I'm brave enough to even try with the pyrography system! I don't think I would agree that I'm a PRO at anything! At least being the first with something to say you had something worth saying. LOL
Take care,
.....Gord
+Gil Grace The minimum speed on Nova DVR lathes is 100rpm ... probably too fast for any pyro burning tip. Suggest laminate counter top samples ... Home Depot will give you all you want if you tell them you are thinking about re-doing your kitchen!
Done! :) Well done Gord!! always wanted to try a basket weave piece, but man, all that work with the pens... time spent painting is time not spent turning :) but I've done time "wasters" before... I will have to take a deep breath one day, suck it up, and just go for it. Thank you also for the short review about the pens, I will know what to look for now. How about applying a finish over these colors? will the run if I try on a friction or CA finish on them?
Yuval.
+Yuval Lahav Woodturning
I'm glad you got it working, Yuval. No idea why you would have a hard time viewing the video.
According to the video I watched where I got some information on how to go about this process the colors will not bleed and are color fast so they won't fade over time. The finish he uses is a spray: Krylon Matte Finish. I did not put a finish on the one I did as it was just an experiment. I probably should have and will likely spray it once I pick up some of the Krylon finish. I don't know what to expect if you want to use a friction finish but with all the division's create by burning the lines drawn with the pencil I don't think it would work very well. Then again, I don't know as I haven't tried it.
Thanks for watching, Yuval, I always appreciate your opinions and suggestions.
Have a great time in your shop, my friend,
.....Gord
+Gord Rock Thank you Gord!! :)
As always awesome work a guy in my turning club did one but it was 16inch in diameter.
16”?? I have thought about doing something like that but it’s a case of too many projects I want to do and too little time to do them! 😃😃
Take care,
.....Gord
Great video. Where did you get the indexing plate?And what were you using to burn those lines
Glad you liked it, Maryke. I got the indexing plate from Alisam engineering at alisam.com and burned the lines with card stock which is a heavy paper like index cards. Thanks for watching, Maryke! Stay safe and healthy!
…..Gord
Enjoyed that!

Kick ass Gord ! Really enjoyed the video .

Thank you Stan! I appreciate that.

Hi Gord
I also have a Nova lathe - and curious how the index wheel fastens firm on the chuck or is it the spindle?
My Nova lathe does have built in indexing, but I find it hard to work with and like the idea of adding this mechanism. As a fellow Canadian I am interested in the cost if you do not mind.
Thanks
Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada
Hi Dennis,
The index wheel slides over the spindle and is held in place by the chuck. I bought mine online from Alisam Engineering. Here is a link to the website:
www.alisam.com/large-indexing-systems.html
Sometimes UA-cam screws up links so I hope this gets there okay. If not I'm sure you can translate this:
www DOT alisam DOT com SLASH large-indexing-systems DOT html
The prices for the various sizes are listed on that page.
I bought mine because I'm also not impressed with the indexing system on my DVR-XP. It's the ONLY complaint I have with it though.
I hope this helps! Have fun with it!
.....Gord
Thanks Gord - appreciate the link!
Regards
DennisBeamish Cambridge Ontario Canada
Excellent...! Looks great...

+Adam Quincey
Thank you very much, Adam!

Love it! I need to try basket illusion once. In mountains, here in Poland, we have a folk pattern which looks very similar.
I hope you have as much fun with it as I did. Thanks for watching!
gord that was over the top great work,i hope you try it on a bowl. bob
+Robert Kutz
Thank you, Bob. I hope to start working on a bowl in the next day or two.
Take care,
.....Gord
That was very interesting, Gord. I would have to use a magnifying light to do that nowadays as I do with scrollsaw fretwork. Nice effect, good work, and well presented.
It seems to me I read/saw/heard that burning the lines between details greatly reduces (if not stops) the flow of inks or dyes into adjacent areas; the caveat being it won't stop a flood, but it does give some breathing room. Maybe I saw that on one of the pyrography sites.
Thanks for letting me visit your shop,
--Joe
+Joseph Scarborough
Hi Joe,
I'm glad you liked it and you are welcome to drop in again any time!! ;-)

At first, before you painted the swirls, they looked like cookies. At the end they are beautiful. Great job Gord.
+Angel Luis Trinidad
Cookies? Now you're making me hungry, Angel. I'm glad you like the results. Thanks for watching!
Take care,
.....Gord
Thanks Gord. Very unusual and unique affect. Man, you have a lot of patience. But, I do believe that is another good look we can add to a turning!
+Charlie Zellner
My wife would laugh at the idea that I have patience. Somehow, though, when I get in the shop I find that I have more patience than I do with a lot of things. I hope you'll give this a try. I really enjoyed although the time need for the coloring does task my patience a bit. Thanks for watching, Charlie.
.....Gord
Great video Gord! It's always fun to see yet another way to embellish turnings and your method seems one of the nicest I've seen. Thanks for sharing your work with us and safe turning to you always!
+Kenn Harris
I'm glad you like it, Kenn. If you decide to try it I would love to see a photo of the results. Thanks for watching & for the kind words.
Take care,
.....Gord
Gord, that is quite spectacular - well done! Great tip too on using the card stock for burning the rings.
Best, -Bill
+Bill Kibby
Thank you, Bill. David recommended oak edge banding. I think I will give that a try on the next one. The card stock is actually a bit flimsy so the oak may work better. Glad you liked it, Bill. Thanks for watching.
.....Gord
Very, very interesting. Really looking forward to seeing what else you do with this technique.
+John Conklin
Thanks very much, John. I'm hoping to something else very shortly. Stay turned - I mean tuned!! ;-)
Take care,
.....Gord
Great job on this one Gord, a lot of work thanks for sharing Best wishes Harry
+The Little Garden Shed Workshop
Thank you Harry. It is a lot of work but I quite enjoyed doing it. Working on #2 now. Thanks for watching, Harry.
Take care,

You did a great job on this one
+Richard Schaffling
Thank you very much, Richard!! I appreciate that.
Could you have drawn the lines all the way across the face of the circle instead of only from the center?
+Seth Warner
Yes.
Hi Gord
I have the same problem to see your video after 16:37 I no see.

Good video, Gord. Appreciate it.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ken!
@@GordonRock1 I'm looking to turn something a little different and this might be fun. I'm not sure I have the patience to do one. Maybe a small plate?
Sounds like a good place to start, Ken. Have fun with it!!
Try to keep your work in the view of the camera!
+Seth Warner
I do try! Easier said than done sometimes!
Nice job!!!!👏 inspires me to try
