AS ALWAYS ANOTHER PEACE OF ART WELL DONE IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL WELL TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AGAIN AWESOME JOB LOVE YOU ALL TILL NEXT TIME HAVE A GOOD DAY
I'm glad to see that there are some female turners out there as I get into turning wood 🪵. I have just purchased my first lathe and I am watching 👀everyone's beginning videos and some that are not for beginners. I know that I have a lot of learning to do
Take it slow and be careful. It’s a ton of fun. Depending on where you are and what COVID restrictions are in place, a local turning club can help get you off on the right foot. It’s good to have some hands on instruction-shortens the learning curve 😁
Hi Lisa, I agree with Charlie McKay. That is a beautiful grained bowl. I loved your presentation rough and finish on the same video. I wood also like to thank you for being a "WOOD" turner and not incorporate plastic into you work. I have no desire to watch plastic being turned. THANK YOU!!! You have become quite a professional and you have come a long way Quickly. Keep-On-Keepen On
I appreciate your support but I do turn resin - you’ll just have to skip those videos if you’re not interested in hybrid pieces. thank you for watching 😊
@@LisaRamlow I do skip those but its harder and harder to find wood turners anymore. Some make a real process out of their plastic turnings. Plastic is not natural. I still like your expert wood turnings though, keep up the good work.
Your video came up on my feed & enjoyed your show, as a rookie turner I watch these videos to get ideas & to learn so I have subscribed & will continue to learn from you. Thank you.
Fantastic work Lisa. Your hand, eye, body movements, and ears are all coming together with muscle memory for you to work in a very smooth professional way in an amazingly short time. I have heard that trees harvested in the winter have bark that stays on while trees harvested in warm weather usually have bark that comes off. Trees that have lain on the ground for long periods of time tend to have bark that comes off due to decay.
Better late than never. I LOVE this. The care you take is a privilege to watch and I have to say you always leave me impressed. Could you add this glorious piece to that list of goodies marked "MINE... when Lisa and the family have finished with them" please?! So, again from this side of the Pond, thanks for sharing your work with us. We're the lucky ones. Pam
Hi Lisa.... well done...that is a really beautiful bowl... the grain is lovely... I agree about the thickness its just right and great live edge... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Kevin! Snowy here in Michigan as well. And cold. But not as cold as it could be! The poor people and critters down in Texas are having a helluva time with weather that they just don’t get down there and are not equipped to handle 😕
I agree with your choice of thickness for this piece. Looks right. Good finish too. Well done. And thanks very much for not assaulting my ears with whatever mood music you think makes you seem like a more amazing artist (talking about the other UA-camrs). The sound of your tool working the piece is perfect, especially when you let us into your thoughts as you make design decisions, etc. You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Adam. I have to admit some of my earlier videos have music. It took me a while to figure out what format I wanted to use for my videos, and also who my audience would end up being. I wasn’t really sure I wanted to do narration (though it’s way better than talking while I’m working, which I tried too and hated. Too much pressure - I always dreaded having to give speeches in school 😬) but it seems that many of my viewers are also turners or are at least interested in what I’m doing and why, so the voiceover format is what we’re sticking with.
I really like the grain pattern and live edge. Also agree on the sturdier wall thickness. I don't like using the fragile "egg shell" type. I'm too much of a klutz and feel sure I would drop and shatter it. Beautiful bowl. Thanks.
When you made that tenon I briefly thought it was going to be a sunken tenon. That's what I do these days when making a tenon. You save a little bit of depth and you can make a nice ring on the bottom for the bowl to stand on. But you made a nice one again. This wood also cuts like butter. Thnx for sharing!
Hi Leo! I haven’t used a mortise on roughed bowls yet. I’ve had OK luck with them on dried and hybrid blanks but have had several break out on me so I’m a little gunshy. But I will use them for some of my upcoming projects and hope I get a good fit and grip 😊
As expected from you... another amazing bowl!! Thanks for making the content. You always thank us but really we should all be thanking the creators for the entertainment. Keep up the great work.
Hi Jack! Yes, I don’t want any boo-boos. I’ve been doing woodworking for almost 20 years and my biggest injuries have been stabbing myself in the hand with a chisel because I didn’t clamp the frame to the bench 🙄 Definitely want to keep it that way!
Really enjoy your videos. Your work is always interesting, your ' mad scientist' humour makes me smile and watching you go through the learning process brings back so many memories. Keep safe and well👍
Nice work! I just recently got a Laguna 18/36. I definitely can't wait to tackle larger projects. I worked with some 5-6" material (Myrtle and Maple) today. I have a fingernail grind on my bowl gouge, but watching your videos I definitely need a longer hand tool with a different grind.
Hi Alec! I’m loving the 1836 for sure. I have a few bowl gouges but I love the Thompson tools and can’t wait to get more! I have the fingernail grind recommended by Doug Thompson on that gouge and also on my 1/4” and 1/2” Hurricane gouges. I have a 40/40 on my 3/8” Hurricane gouge, but am hoping to replace that with another Thompson I also want to put an Ellsworth/Irish grind on one or two of them - I like options! 😊 My Thompson is a 5/8” V-gouge with the 16” handle. Definitely recommend!
That is just beautiful Lisa...I only ever did one live edge, got careless and broke a finger on the bark. I use our paste and polish on things that cant be turned with a 5 inch buffing pad in a drill, like on our chopping block, seems t o work well. Thanks again for the great video, my wife wants that bowl:)
Lisa once again you’re amazing. I like the way you explain what you’re doing and you’re not afraid to admit your mistakes. Your willingness to learn and improve your skill level. That is the true mark of a craftsman and your dedication to the craft. It’s a pleasure watching your videos. That is an awesome bowl.
Fantastic, Lisa! I have been watching your channel for a few months, now. I like your work and always appreciate your resilience when you face obstacles. I had to stop to comment on this one because it is simply outstanding. I don't know why I feel that way, but it just really jumped out at me tonight. Well done!
Yes, I think so. This is the first thing I’ve done since I put the bolt in but I didn’t have any issues with it moving around. It’s kind of weird, that problem only started for me a month or so ago - maybe it’s gotten broken in enough to be a little loosy-goosy. I used a 3/8” carriage bolt cuz I didn’t want to cut a hunk of all thread or the head off a bolt 😂
@@LisaRamlow I hear you there! I found a bolt the right length and threaded in from the back side. It’s funny, my toolrest didn’t start messing up until, like 2 days after Shay posted his video on the repair. Glad it worked out!
Beautiful job on this bowl, Lisa. One of my first bowls had a live edge but I've not turned any since. I need to make another one; my wife likes them. Your butternut has very pretty grain, too.
Parabéns ficou fantástica esse trabalho, vc é uma excelente profissional sou seu fã de carteirinha, todos vídeo eu assisti obrigado e fica com Deus 👏👏👏❤🙏
Lisa. Thanks so much for this lathe turning projects. Can you do a video on your Lathe? Like to get into wood 🪵 turning . Do you sign each project? God Bless you and Family. Greg
Hi Greg! I do sign my work though not with a consistent method as of yet - most pieces are just getting a sharpie. There are a lot of UA-camra who have the Laguna 1836 lathe and Matt Jordan from the UK does a nice overview of it when he got his early last year. Also he makes amazing things so I recommend you check him out if you don’t watch him already.
I came across your video on you-tube and I love that tell what you are doing and the finish you use, could you tell me about the dishwasher kiln as I never heard of this I've only been turning for a year,thank you your time
Hi Al! Here’s the link to the video I did on the dishwasher kiln. I haven’t had time to rough out any more blanks but the first load came out perfect! Workshop Wednesday: Diy Wood Kiln - Old dishwasher to a kiln for drying woodturning turning blanks
Hi. Question. How difficult would it be to make a 10” lady susan. ??? Or even smaller. With a live edge?? All the wood you use is beautiful and incurious by nature. Lol. Thank You and I absolutely love this bowl. Stay safe
Hi Helen! I knew what you meant 😉 Lazy Susans are really easy to make in general. Making on with a live edge wouldn’t actually involve any turning, you would use a slice or “cookie” from a log and mount the hardware to the underside. Having said that I’m not sure I how it would dry, and if it would stay intact and not crack. You can buy log cookies from places like Etsy that may be kiln dried and would have a better shot at staying flat. The lazy Susan bearings can be found at local home improvement stores.
Lovely bowl Lisa, butternut seems to be a lovely wood as I really like the grain patterns in it! Your kiln must work very well, how long was it from rough turned to the finish turning? Thanks and keep them coming! Cheers Al
Hi Al! Butternut is lovely to work with - its in the walnut family and is sometimes referred to as white walnut. I roughed this batch of 6 blanks out in mid to late October and put them in the kiln. In about 3 weeks the moisture content of the dishwasher was around 50% and they were dry enough to turn. I finish turned one of them in this video - it did warp slightly so it was a little wet still but didn’t crack or anything. ua-cam.com/video/ezJH_yJfdG4/v-deo.html I just left the other 5 in the kiln - the light never came on again as I left it set at 50% humidity and it’s dropped to somewhere in the 40s now. I didn’t weigh the rough blanks before I put them in the kiln but I will do so on the next batch. This bowl was definitely dry and hasn’t moved at all so I would say 4-5 weeks would be about the right time for the number of blanks I had in my kiln. And this was very wet to start with - tree cut down in late August.
Nice finished project. How long were your roughed out blanks in the dishwasher kiln before they were dry enough to turn, assuming that the original wood was freshly cut? The final bowl is very beautiful with very interesting grain.
Hi Eileen! I roughed about 6 blanks in October and here is the first bowl I finish turned from this batch: ua-cam.com/video/ezJH_yJfdG4/v-deo.html This bowl bowl was in the kiln about 3 weeks and did warp just a little bit didn’t crack or check. I left the moisture content target inside the dishwasher at 50% and it’s been below that for at least 4 weeks now so they’ve just been sitting in the dishwasher with no heat source. This blank was very dry and didn’t move at all.
Lisa I’m sure you have mentioned before and I’m sorry I’ve overlooked it if so....what size bowl gouge are you using and handle length? I noticed it was a Thompson. Thank you, and as always thanks for sharing!
Yes it’s a Thompson and I love it. Cant wait to get more! This is a 5/8” V-Gouge with a 16” handle. I’m looking at getting a 1/2” and maybe a 3/8” shortly
Beautiful bowl.... I’m a newbie turner and one day I’ll attempt a live edge bowl. I saw where you applied shellac as a finish to the bowl. Will the shellac preserve the bark, or is there another application to preserve the bark? Thanks, RonW.
Hi Ron! I used the shellac as a sealer for the bowl and also applied some to the bark in hopes of adding a bit of stiffness. Lots of people use CA glue to help keep the bark on but sometimes it comes off no matter what you do. CA glue will stain the wood if you don’t apply some kind of sealer first, though - I learned that the hard way on my walnut pedestal bowl 😕
Hi Benjamin, thank you so much! I am really happy with the Laguna, especially for the price. If money were no object I’d likely have gotten a Robust. Powermatic and OneWay are both very well regarded but again price for me was an issue and the Laguna fit my needs and my budget - I got it on sale earlier this year. There are a lot of UA-cam turners with the Laguna, I liked what I saw and was ready to upgrade from my Delta MidiLathe
Hi Peter! No, fortunately I haven’t. I have had a couple of issues with the tailstock but Laguna has been fantastic about getting it fixed. Imma keep my fingers crossed and hope I don’t have electronics issues 🤞
The measuring stick you used when you reduced your tenon had colored squares on it. Is that something you bought or something you made to help with sizing your tenons?
Hi Dave! I made that using the min/max openings for each of the 3 sets of jaws that go with my Nova chucks. My version of a go/no-go gauge I guess. Gets me in the ballpark!
very nice indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am going to try to run some more videos for youtube if you know my history its very hard for me to dop. if you can would you please sub. what do you edit with and what camera you use thanks

Fantastic bowl. Love the bark left on. You do wonderful work. Enjoy your videos. Have a good rest of the week and a great weekend.

Thank you Charlie. This tree was taken down in August and has some bad spots and bark inclusions but I think I’ll get a lot of nice pieces from it
Very nice work. Got to love Doug's tools too.

dare i say that wood cut like butter!!!
Indeed! 😁
Great live edge and grain 👍
Thank you Jim!
Nice job on the butternut. It seems to warp less than most woods as it dries and has a good bark for natural edge.

When you made that tenon I briefly thought it was going to be a sunken tenon. That's what I do these days when making a tenon.
You save a little bit of depth and you can make a nice ring on the bottom for the bowl to stand on.
But you made a nice one again. This wood also cuts like butter. Thnx for sharing!

I left the moisture content target inside the dishwasher at 50% and it’s been below that for at least 4 weeks now so they’ve just been sitting in the dishwasher with no heat source. This blank was very dry and didn’t move at all.
Lisa I’m sure you have mentioned before and I’m sorry I’ve overlooked it if so....what size bowl gouge are you using and handle length? I noticed it was a Thompson. Thank you, and as always thanks for sharing!
Yes it’s a Thompson and I love it. Cant wait to get more! This is a 5/8” V-Gouge with a 16” handle. I’m looking at getting a 1/2” and maybe a 3/8” shortly
Beautiful bowl.... I’m a newbie turner and one day I’ll attempt a live edge bowl. I saw where you applied shellac as a finish to the bowl. Will the shellac preserve the bark, or is there another application to preserve the bark?
Thanks,
RonW.
Hi Ron! I used the shellac as a sealer for the bowl and also applied some to the bark in hopes of adding a bit of stiffness. Lots of people use CA glue to help keep the bark on but sometimes it comes off no matter what you do. CA glue will stain the wood if you don’t apply some kind of sealer first, though - I learned that the hard way on my walnut pedestal bowl 😕
Awesome grain pattern! I'm looking to upgrade my lathe soon. How do you like the Laguna. It is on my short list.
Hi Benjamin, thank you so much! I am really happy with the Laguna, especially for the price. If money were no object I’d likely have gotten a Robust. Powermatic and OneWay are both very well regarded but again price for me was an issue and the Laguna fit my needs and my budget - I got it on sale earlier this year. There are a lot of UA-cam turners with the Laguna, I liked what I saw and was ready to upgrade from my Delta MidiLathe
Beautiful! Is is worth the stink?
It is indeed. Doesn’t smell as bad as some cottonwood I’ve worked with, and once it’s dry it’s not bad at all.
Very nice looking bowl. Is that a Thompson gouge ? If so how do you like it ?
It is indeed and I love it. Cant wait to get more!
@@LisaRamlow thanks I am looking at getting some myself I need a good bowl gouge.
Lisa, have you had any problems with your laguna electronics. I’ve had to replace the forward reverse three times.
Hi Peter! No, fortunately I haven’t. I have had a couple of issues with the tailstock but Laguna has been fantastic about getting it fixed. Imma keep my fingers crossed and hope I don’t have electronics issues 🤞
The measuring stick you used when you reduced your tenon had colored squares on it. Is that something you bought or something you made to help with sizing your tenons?
Hi Dave! I made that using the min/max openings for each of the 3 sets of jaws that go with my Nova chucks. My version of a go/no-go gauge I guess. Gets me in the ballpark!
💯👍
