I’m laid up with a bad back doing too much DIY and your video gave me a lift this afternoon. One thing I enjoy so much about this community is the willingness to share everything whether it ‘turned’ out perfect or not. Thank you for inviting me round 🌞
I normally fast forward through the boring parts of turning videos, but you kept me interested the whole way through. No fast forward at all. And you detailed instructions are greatly appreciated. As someone new to this hobby, I watch these videos to learn and you have taught me. Thank you!
I always look forward to your videos, very interesting and informative! I like your approach and communication and your English is excellent - better than some English people 😂 Keep them coming!
I'm fairly new to wood turning and have never seen anything like. A bit advanced for me to try yet but would love to give it a go someday. Super relaxed style and many apt comments to chuckle 😂 along with. Thank you
Thank you, Ronald, now I have to go out to my shop and make one. My wife was peaking over my shoulder and saw your great video. I have some Vermont black cherry I just cut a few days ago it should be perfect. I will send a photo if it comes out ok. All ways enjoy your videos.
Looking at this video after watching your demo in Dublin today and have really enjoyed both demos. Looking forward to using your peppermill borer, thanks again.
Hi Ronald, another great video, fun to watch but informative as well. More of the same please. I am about to cut down an apple tree, I will have a go at this project. It will be much smaller because I do I not have the hollowing tool that you have.
Very nice. This was talked about today on Doug Miller live. My experience with cherry is it cracks more then warps. Very enjoyable video. Hope to see you on the next one. Thank you for sharing
Very relaxed, entertaining video. This was a concept totally foreign to me, I've never heard of it before. Pity this one did not quite go to plan but the method is quite clear & well explained. I enjoyed it greatly thanks Ronald. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Keep that bowl! Sand the inside and outside of that crack round, and make it look cool. Rodin made many of his sculptures of the thinker, and one of them blew up as he was pouring the molten copper. The stool the man sits on blew out, and now it resides at a museum somewhere, mistakenly and all.
Interesting project & fascinating to watch the process. I have two big chunks of cherry I should get 4 bowls out of & we'll see what my success rate is ?. I live on an apple and pear orchard farm and so mostly that's what I turn. I find most if not all fruit woods to be very reactionary and unstable so you have to turn them green. Leave it to season and it'll rip itself apart with radial shrinkage. Turn it green and turn it thin, like 5 mil or less & it'll reward you. It'll never stay the same shape you turned it, but if you read & anticipate that it'll be organically gorgeous. It seems that's what this video was about & nicely done. Thank you Ronald!.
I did this type of turning about 2 years ago. Like what you experienced, my wood cracked and really hurt the appeared of the form. Then I decided to try something I have never seen done before. I used steam from a portable steam machine to heat the wood around the Crack so it could be bent, reshaped, glued and clamped. My luck was pretty good the first time I tried this, but not so good on some other hollow forms. Every piece of wood is different. Sometimes this technique works, other times it doesn't. BTW, the walls of the hollow wood form need to be thin; about .25" or 6-7mm.
Just found you on UA-cam, subscibed within 5 minutes. As a woodturner without a workshop, tools or space and, having watched so many videos on YT where the only tool used is a scraper, just watching you use the right tools was a pleasure. A fantastic idea, something I wouldn't have thought about as an end piece, but stunning. Do you do courses, teach or hold classes?
This was really interesting, thank you for sharing. I've only just discovered your channel and will be watching more. I love the way you use the characteristics of the wood to create.
This looks intriguing but I cant get orientated to fathom out your approach to the workpiece.... its your use of the OProforme that appeals to me as I'm about to invest in a Proforme kit. I'm sure everything will click by the time you finish. Loving this, thank you Ronald. Like you I dote on the work of Phil Irons and Glenn Lucas.
Another great video. I’ve never heard of this before but find it to be very, very cool. Once again thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Take care and stay healthy and safe.
Really enjoyed the video, and the clever turning project idea. Very clearly presented. 👍Thanks for sharing this with us. Must give it a try with the next green fruit tree sections we get. 😉
Ronald you are a really cool woodworker take the things that every other woodworker fears and use it to your advantage.This I will use as a mantra in life generally.
I've never seen a woodturner at work before. It's fascinating!! Thanks for a really good video and some great music! If it's not too much trouble I'd reall appreciate knowing who performs the music please.
Very nice. Even with your excellent narration I could not understand the thought process of the decisions you made....but my eyes do see the pleasing final result.
Well done, and thank you for the guidance. I would like to know where you attained your hollowing tool. I would prefer that tool option over the price and time of a "hollowing rig" setup.
Really awesome.Ronald, love your work. I've used super glue and Coffee grounds to fill cracks, also super glue and powdered egg shells. bolth add a little contrast to the wood. you have my subscription and a thumbs up.
@@ronaldkanne cant wait to try one of your turns. i'm just beginning, so ill wait until i have a little or experience before i give it a try. but i'm really impressed with you work. will be watching a lot more of your videos..
About the crack... try the water method instead of microwave, xd. Also depend on the wood, where it grown, how it was dried... Cant rly know. But sure thing, dont put it in the microwave
I sometimes use my little electric chainsaw or sometimes a chisel... i don't mind how one does it, as long as the drive center is in the wood and not just in the bark...
Inspiring project. Probably an issue of wood not thin enough. I will try but use the Microwave after turning with no more than 2 minutes at a time .... but wood is wood as you said.
Hi Ronald, just found you that was fun, now what I would do is tape the underside of the crack and fill it with brown epoxy. I will be subscribing to your channel. Kind regards Stephen SJS Wood Turning Australia
Coming from a metal lathe the floppy shirt sleeves make me somewhat nervous.. Not as much a concern on a wood lathe I imagine, I'm sure you know what you're doing. This is a very neat trick by the way
Nice idea. Sorry about the crack. But, when it’s really dry, you could put an “inlay” in it (round branches, metal shavings, shells, powdered rocks, like soup stone….)
Watched it multiple times and had a great time! Even making one during your classes last month was challenging and fun! Who won the scraper by the way??
I really enjoy your videos. Ive been turning for about 14 years but you always bring somthing Ive never thought of. Where did you get that monster hollowing tool?
That is such a great idea to lengthen the hollow form tool…physics! I am going to try and make one and perhaps there will be less cursing and less flying wood in the shop!
If you hollowed out the long handle of the tool that carves out the inside and blew compressed air through it and out through the metal part of the bit holder, would it blow out the shavings?
I know there are drillbits were you can do this. But the shavings of the pro forme tool are quite big sometimes and i know they will clog in the opening of the piece...
@7:50 the part where he asks translation for: "As ge uw eigen nie e's kietelt het ge nooit leut." translates to "If your dont tickle yourself you wont have fun."
this is a very interesting project I might try to do one of these and ask does it matter what type of wood you use does it work better with hardwoods or softwoods. very cool work and nice channel, liked ad subed. take care and be safe
I would've gotten about a third of the way into hollowing it out and created a beautiful spinning ball of smouldering kindling. And that got me to thinking about an implement in the field of poultry processing of all weird places: it's a ring shaped knife attached to a vacuum hose, used to remove the last little bits of meat from the chicken carcass. Something like that might work really well to hollow out wood like you're doing here, without it building up the flammable bird nest inside or having to worry about making escape holes around the outside.
There's nothing wrong with that crack. Highlight it with flame. It'll darken the edges and make it look purposeful. I speed dry a lot of my pieces in my kiln to make them crack. Then I highlight the cracks in some way.
That was a very interesting approach and I am really wanting to try it. I can certainly see where warping variables could come into play. Any thoughts on the thinner the walls the less chance of cracking? Stay safe and I learn a great deal from your videos. Stay safe from MT USA.
Ronald, great stuff, I really like your videos. For this turning how green was the cherry? I have a freshly cut piece of plum and hope to make a self-closing hollow form in the next couple of weeks.

Wow, and I even was just given some green cherry! Never seen such a big hollowing tool! Thanks and love your relaxed style and comments

Hi Ronald, mooi werkstuk weer en een leuke en informatieve video. Wederom lekker onderkoeld commentaar en goed filmwerk van Lies. Dank dank dank.
I have watched this again. So creative, hope you can continue these projects. Wishing you wellness.
@@davidfriedman3962 i can try...
A man from my turning club rough turns cherry wet and then boils the bowl before letting it air dry. He has 80-90% success in preventing any cracks.
That’s awesome, I’m gonna try that with some wet madrone!😅
I’m gonna try that with some wet madrone!😅
@brianhawes3115 let me know how it 💪 with the Madrone. It's very effective with cherry.
Wow, good video. I also turn cherry a lot and am sometimes frustrated with the cracking and warpage. There are good lessons in this video. Thanks
Thanks for the video. Had a few chuckles along the way - and well done for giving credit for the h2o 😂.
Great video and great work! Your tag team is really good too!
Very cool project Ronald, I will try this for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity
Great concept for natural edge turning. I will try this. Thanks.
😳🤔🙏 Always the most beautiful music and turning projects, thank you! 👍👍👍
I would love to have a go at making one of these. Love the video and have subscribed. Cheers,Bram
Big compliment on the great music selection!
Very instructive, light hearted and entertaining. Really enjoyed watching the first two of your videos
Only just found your channel,loved it, I don't think I have ever seen anyone have quite so much fun in a workshop as you do.Just good fun to watch

Great work, as always.

Hallo Kanne, vielen Dank für die vielen Informationen, das Ergebnis ist fantastisch, Dankeschön :-)
Really enjoyed the video, and the clever turning project idea. Very clearly presented. 👍Thanks for sharing this with us. Must give it a try with the next green fruit tree sections we get. 😉
Go give it a try, and don't forget to post a picture!
Very cool. Might try this in the future.
What a great idea! It would be fun to try, just need to see if I have any wet Cherry wood in the pile.
Thanks for stopping the turning often to let us see how it develops. I would tend to use the chisel bevel down if I was chipping off bark!
Wow! Impressed.
Ronald you are a really cool woodworker take the things that every other woodworker fears and use it to your advantage.This I will use as a mantra in life generally.
Thank you for your kind words Christopher!
I've never seen a woodturner at work before. It's fascinating!! Thanks for a really good video and some great music! If it's not too much trouble I'd reall appreciate knowing who performs the music please.
The editing is done by Lies, i will ask her....
neat idea, thanks for the video and the tips.
Nice pice of arte my friend 🎉👍🇵🇹
So good to see you on the YT again.
Very nice. Even with your excellent narration I could not understand the thought process of the decisions you made....but my eyes do see the pleasing final result.
Hi Bunk, I will try again in another video some time. When i make a self closing hollow form in another way... :-)
Just watched this video Ronald, cracking job (cracking job here also means great job) but also a pun that it cracked lol
Your response woud have been much funnier if you didn't explain it...🤣🤣🤣
Love this concept. May just have to give it a shot.
Go Ahead!
Exelente trabajo ¡ . Pregunta : Que tratamiento le da a esa piesa para q no se raje ? . Ya q esta verde . Javier Carna . Argentina
The best way is to turn it as thin as possible and let it dry slowly and evenly...
That hollowing tool looks like you could have one with a hollow centre to blow air through, which would blow out shavings possibly?
Tried that...The shavings are to big to be blown out. They will clog...
Not much for working wood myself, just like watching those who do. Never seen this sort of turning, but I do imagine that it smells woderful.
🙂 it does...
Another cracking video!
No cracks
There is one at the end...🙂
Love this! I don't have any green cherry. Would you recommend another type of wood for something like this that will move enough to curl??
Well done, and thank you for the guidance.
I would like to know where you attained your hollowing tool. I would prefer that tool option over the price and time of a "hollowing rig" setup.
Hi Frank, the gollowing tool is called the Pro-forme and is made by woodcut from New Zealand.
Really awesome.Ronald, love your work.
I've used super glue and Coffee grounds to fill cracks, also super glue and powdered egg shells. bolth add a little contrast to the wood.

To clear the bark for the drive spur, I use a forstnerbit - this leave a clean level surface for the drive spur😀
Wrong
@@scottcates wow, that's a really intelligent answer - why don't you elaborate?
@@steenteudt pedantic
@@scottcates 🤣😂
I sometimes use my little electric chainsaw or sometimes a chisel... i don't mind how one does it, as long as the drive center is in the wood and not just in the bark...

How do you finish the bottom? Sand off the tenon...
Cool idea, going to try.
Inspiring project. Probably an issue of wood not thin enough. I will try but use the Microwave after turning with no more than 2 minutes at a time .... but wood is wood as you said.
I think you are right with the 'probably not thin enough' remark...

No winner yet Ernst, still waiting and moping more hollow forms to enter the compatition...
@@ronaldkanne And?? Already a winner?
Chips out from side holes. Looked like a festive holiday item!🎉
Yes, that is a fun moment always... :-)
Have you seen the episode where he makes a -wooden- _teak_ carburetor?
Next time, instead of putting the turning in a vice, use a ratchet strap to go round the middle - to distribute the forces. Just an idea.
I really enjoy your videos. Ive been turning for about 14 years but you always bring somthing Ive never thought of. Where did you get that monster hollowing tool?
Thank you. That monster is a Woodcut Pro Form. There is an extra handle on it so i can clamp it between my arm and body.
That is such a great idea to lengthen the hollow form tool…physics! I am going to try and make one and perhaps there will be less cursing and less flying wood in the shop!

I recon I have some smallish cherry logs I can turn something like that from.
Do so! And share the result!
I haven't seen that before. thankyou

Hey Jim, the wood does matter. Best to use is Prunus like wood. Cherry etc... worps easily... that's why...
Grtz Ronald
Great work, interesting design. I thought you may have mentioned your tool used was from a course. Do you teach, if so where?
Hi Tom, the tool is the pro-forme from Woodcut. I teach yes, i am located in the Netherlands...
@23:25... too many shaving inside is like making soup with too many vegetables! 👍👍👍
I would've gotten about a third of the way into hollowing it out and created a beautiful spinning ball of smouldering kindling. And that got me to thinking about an implement in the field of poultry processing of all weird places: it's a ring shaped knife attached to a vacuum hose, used to remove the last little bits of meat from the chicken carcass. Something like that might work really well to hollow out wood like you're doing here, without it building up the flammable bird nest inside or having to worry about making escape holes around the outside.
In practise it appears that the shavings are to big to 'vacuum' them away... but maybe if i would be scraping it would work...
There's nothing wrong with that crack. Highlight it with flame. It'll darken the edges and make it look purposeful. I speed dry a lot of my pieces in my kiln to make them crack. Then I highlight the cracks in some way.
Well, carve out a nice curve to get rid of the crack.
great video, love the shape and as I have some cherry will give it a go. How do you remove the tenon ?
Lots of hand sanding to do when it is dry. Also the tenon. Carving and sanding...
That was a very interesting approach and I am really wanting to try it. I can certainly see where warping variables could come into play. Any thoughts on the thinner the walls the less chance of cracking? Stay safe and I learn a great deal from your videos. Stay safe from MT USA.
The thinner the walls the more room the piece has for warping, the less it will crack... yep...
Brilliant!
Ronald, great stuff, I really like your videos. For this turning how green was the cherry? I have a freshly cut piece of plum and hope to make a self-closing hollow form in the next couple of weeks.
It was pretty fresh. few weeks cut... you could say here: "the wetter the better"
@@ronaldkanne Thanks for the reply. It looked it. I'll give it a go and hope I get a good result.
