Hey Jason you're turning into quite the bowler. A couple of tips with CA glue: There are various materials one can use with CA glue to enhance the strength of the joint. Baking soda and wood ash will increase the strength of the bond also I would try grinding some charcoal into a fine powder and adding that powder to the crack as a nice contrast to the base wood. Great video thumbs up.
You can get epoxy in a syringe and fill the cracks either clear or tinted. It will bond to the wood and turn just like the wood. A pressure pot can be used to force all the air bubbles out.
It's good to see you becoming more 'relaxed/comfortable' and proficient with the new toy. The live edge added a nice rustic touch to the piece. I couldn't help wondering how SPIN might go after Original on the bottom of the bowl. As always, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Alan! I don’t know if you could see the word “bowl” in the engraving. That was a last-minute idea I had that I can change to whatever my project is I’m signing.
Well done Jason. The bowl came out very nice and will be a cherished gift by those in CO. Ask Santa for an assortment of rests for the lathe in addition to the new chisels. The various shapes of rests will improve your support when hollowing out bowls or vessels. Love the laser touch!
Nice one the laser is a cool touch . Hope you are back in front of the fire feet up turkey sandwich in hand watching someone else working Hope your football team won
Was the Maple hard on the chisels? Are you able to resharpen them yourself or do you send them out? Your CO friends should be pleased with their gift. 👍👍👍
Thank you! The maple turned much better after I sharpened them. I’m using my big Grizzly belt sander which is overly aggressive but works pretty well on these cheap chisels.
Wow what a beautiful bowl, pity about the splits. But thankfully you got round that problem. Look forward to the next project. Your friends are in for a very nice surprise.
@NorthwestSawyer I have a Colchester Student, biult like a bottle ship. Keep your eyes open I'm sure you find a suitable lathe, like a Pacemaker, plenty of folks on your channel who can advice you what to look for. I have a Mill Master milling machine which is pre WW2 and have been told the Bridgeport is based on it. Has many similarities to the modern day Bridgeport. Still works fine even though its old. All the best, Ian.
Hi Jason, another tip for bigger cracks is to fill them with used, dried coffee grounds, then use the thin CA on the top of that. Keep it up mate, the bowls are looking good!
Thank you! I’ve seem Phil Anderson do that but I don’t drink coffee😂. After drying for a couple days, one of the cracks opened up and I ended up using graphite powder and CA glue. It worked pretty well.
One thing I have learned about turning wood, The cut in Greener wood is so much easier then dry wood. If you think it is the tool that is dull, It is more likely to dry. I do twice turned bowls. Turn the bowl to a close shape, take the shavings and bowl and put it in a paper bag to dry another 6 mounts. Make more every other week and you can keep rolling them out.
That is definitely true. I have turned some green wood myself and it’s like turning butter. I’m thinking about building a mini kiln for the green turnings to speed up the process. I’ve seen several videos and it doesn’t look to be too difficult.
Well caught at the end there! If you cover your lathe bed with a board when applying glue or finishes it will protect it from the CA glue and finishes accumulating which can be hard to remove once dried. Nice bowl, well done 😊
What a nice transformation, from firewood to bowl! ( Lucky folks in Colorado! ) Funny but I was thinking ( after the couple of blips there ) is that the chisel or the Craftsman`s error ? I hope Santa is watching and paying attention.
Did I hear that it's difficult to heat your shop? Are your rafters/ trusses open? If so, a fast, easy and CHEAP way to temporarily enclose the shop is with poly film. It's terrible as insulation but is easy to install and will keep most of the heat in the shop and not going through the roof.
You are correct. My initial plan is to finish enclosing the wood shop portion of my building. That way I can easily heat that area until I can afford to finish the whole building.
Beautiful bowl Jason!!! And down the rabbit hole you go, welcome!!! Firewood he says!!! You’ll start getting the tools you want, man can you drop some coinage!!!! That laser worked great. What kind is it again?? Thanks for sharing and stay warm over there!!
you really need a large roughing gouge , to do your initial trimming. that small gouge makes a lot work .look for the smaller 2' sanding discs that are powered by air, easier to hold and more precise. i used to seal my work with shellac, then cornubia wax polish, do not trust that glue totally, yes you really need the thicker consistency to be safe, i had pieces come apart using it
@@NorthwestSawyer awesome, man. I'm looking forward to getting a block of it. Let me know what you are willing to let go of and a price. After that it's only a 2-3 hour drive for me.
Thank you! No worries! That spray is an activator that instantly cures the glue. I normally use it to fill pin holes in my table projects where the epoxy had small bubbles or other small defects in the wood.
Just echoing a lot of what’s already been said: -a nice, beefy roughing gouge, -a dedicated sharpening set-up, -thicker CA glue. At least, everyone else confirmed my thoughts as I watched this!
@@NorthwestSawyer Same idea, except I'd worry about the blade. With the chainsaw mill over a spindle it would just be about going slow and the roughness of the cut would be no big deal. Anyway, love the turning videos.
Nice result! Loved the reference to Phil Anderson - what a guy!!
Thank you! Phil is a master! I’ve learned a lot from his videos.
@@NorthwestSawyer Me too.
From a lump of firewood to a lovely turned bowl!…..a great transformation well done Jason 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you, as always!😉

Thank you, Craig! Great advice! I actually have a big jar of graphite powder that I use to color epoxy. I never thought to try it in the glue. 🤔
Nice work Jason 👍👏🙌🫶
Jason, from an old time cabinet and furniture builder, you should be proud of your beautiful creations.
Thank you very much, Rick. I am pretty proud of how my projects are coming out and look forward to improving😉
Great job, Jason. A very pretty bowl. You've started a new tradition for yourself. Before long we'll be calling you a master turner.
Bill
Thank you, Bill! What did you think of my reverse clip? I tried something new and I think it really worked.
@@NorthwestSawyer It was good. I kind of saw it coming. Lol
@@williamellis8993😂😂😂
Further proof that there is beauty in rustic woodworking. Well done, Jason.
Thank you, Bob! This week I’m going to turn a piece of 114 year old lumber. Stay tuned!😉
You can get epoxy in a syringe and fill the cracks either clear or tinted. It will bond to the wood and turn just like the wood. A pressure pot can be used to force all the air bubbles out.
I bought 100 10cc syringes just for that on my table projects but I’m out of thin pour epoxy. I definitely have a pressure pot on my list. 😉

That sir is a magnificent bowl well done and can't wait for the next one.
Thank you, Sir! I think I have a good one planned for this Monday. Stay tuned 😉
A beautiful piece Jason very much appreciated you sharing
Thank you!

Thank you, David! I’m actually thinking about making some rests. I can get the material cheap and build exactly what I need. 😉
@@NorthwestSawyer perfect!
Beautiful work my friend! You get this Phils approval! LOL! I need get the dust off my grizzly lathe!
Ha! I’ll take it! Thank you! Go get turning!
Lovely bowl. Phil does turn some interesting stuff.
He sure does! Sometimes I look at what he’s starting with and have no picture in my head of how he’s going to pull it off.
Nice one the laser is a cool touch . Hope you are back in front of the fire feet up turkey sandwich in hand watching someone else working Hope your football team won
Thank you, Paul! I’m freezing in my shop as I type!😂 working on the next video😉
Very nice Bowl. Your logo tool adds a nice touch, to your creations. Suprised bowl held together in fabrication. Good video
Thank you! I ended up having to do a little more gluing off camera but it seems to be stable now.
I haver found that my nicest turnings often come from firewood or other ugly pieces. Great job!
She's a beaut for sure!!! I've done a few Phil Anderson inspired videos as well! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Gonna be some happy people on your Christmas list. Good looking bowl.
Thank you!
Bowl turned out real nice Jason 😊
Thank you!
Beautiful! Way more value than BTU's!
That’s an excellent way to put it!😉
Yup, I need a lathe 😉 Nice bowl
Yes you do😉
@@NorthwestSawyer 😁
Wow, that turned out beautiful!
Thank you!
Damn, you are talented. Nice work
Wow! Thank you, Mike!

@NorthwestSawyer that's nice to hear. Done some myself but using a big metal lathe. We are all different.
@@MrFHLHOhhhhhh I’d love to have a metal lathe myself. 😉

Jason, ..I like it. Never got into bowls yet, looks very time consuming, but that's what it takes to make it beautiful!
I think the toughest part is sanding. It’s the one thing that can make or break a turning.
Looks great 👍. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful bowl. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Sweet little bowl Jason,that's on my to-do list of turned items I just got my Chuck the other day✌️ Napa California
Awesome! Send me some pictures. I’ll share themI n a video 😉
Jason looks like you have working out. Looking good. Ron
Thank you, Ron. I think my shirt might be too small😂
Great job.
Thank you!
Nice job! I fill those cracks with CA and contrasting color filler material. Some don't like it but I do.
I hear ya. I had some black CA that would’ve matched the spalting but it dried up on me.

Thank you! You’re right. I keep meaning to have something handy to throw over the bed there but I guess I get too excited still. 😂
I would have used a fine tooth saw at the end but your method worked!
I thought about that too. It ended well but definitely could have been bad.
What a nice transformation, from firewood to bowl! ( Lucky folks in Colorado! )
Funny but I was thinking ( after the couple of blips there ) is that the chisel or the Craftsman`s error ? I hope Santa is watching and paying attention.
Thanks, Reg! I think it’s a combo😂

You will be shocked how much heat is retained just be a layer of poly sheeting in the ceiling.
Nice job

Thank you! I’m loving this machine. The laser is the xTool D-1 Pro 20w but stay tuned. Rumor has it that I have a 40watt unit on the way for review😉
@11:08 perfect chips and dip bowel! 😁
you really need a large roughing gouge , to do your initial trimming.

i used to seal my work with shellac, then cornubia wax polish,
do not trust that glue totally, yes you really need the thicker consistency to be safe, i had pieces come apart using it
Thank you, Jeffrey! I hope to start piecing together my tools as my bank account allows.😉
very nice
Thank you, Greg!
Kool! 👍👍👍
Thanks, Jerry!
That bowl in a bowl at 10:10 would have made a great dip cup for the chips in the big bowl.
Beautiful! What is the spray you used with the CA?
That’s activator. It instantly cures the glue.
Nice job, Saw Man. It was more of a risk than I may have taken. But, nice job.
BTW, any word on that YEW that you mentioned?
You know, I woke up this morning thinking “shoot! I need to check on my Yew”😂. I will look today and get back to you.
@@NorthwestSawyer awesome, man. I'm looking forward to getting a block of it. Let me know what you are willing to let go of and a price. After that it's only a 2-3 hour drive for me.
@@archiehebron8944 dang it!!! I forgot again!! I’ll set a reminder for tomorrow 😬😣
@@NorthwestSawyer sounds good. I'm at work all day but I can check this chat on my breaks.
Try something with Madrona.
The first piece I turned was Madrone. I do have plans for more. Stay tuned😉
you're looking like an old pro with this Jason. Nice job! I do have a question for you though, is Monocoat Foodsafe?
It is, Russ. I just googled it😂
Nice work. Had to look up CA glue meaning. What spray are using on the glue and for what reason ( not a wood turner here so apologies )
Thank you! No worries! That spray is an activator that instantly cures the glue. I normally use it to fill pin holes in my table projects where the epoxy had small bubbles or other small defects in the wood.
Okay, with you on that one ✅👍
👍nice
Thank you!
I was hoping at the end you would be eating cereal or something out of it. Lol
I’m a breakfast burrito guy😎😂
@@NorthwestSawyer burrito bowl? Lol
I am not a turner, but I think you need a much longer gouge.
I think you’re right.
Just echoing a lot of what’s already been said: -a nice, beefy roughing gouge, -a dedicated sharpening set-up, -thicker CA glue.
At least, everyone else confirmed my thoughts as I watched this!
Ha! Well, like I said, we’ll see where I land on Santa’s list😉
Ever consider mounting up a chainsaw mill above the raw block and very slowly hand rotating it to get past the first stage?
I’ve actually thought about making a spindle for my sawmill. I think that could work really well especially for larger blanks.
@@NorthwestSawyer Same idea, except I'd worry about the blade. With the chainsaw mill over a spindle it would just be about going slow and the roughness of the cut would be no big deal. Anyway, love the turning videos.
Where is the live edge now? On your shed floor!
What is "thanks giving"?
Thar is cool.
An American who doesn’t drink coffee?? Now there’s a first!! You’ll have to enlist your neighbours then - or Phil!
😂😂😂 I don’t think Phil is too far from me actually. 🤔
@@NorthwestSawyer that’s what I thought..!
The laser engraving is a bad a$$ touch!
Thank you! I have a new laser coming soon. More power!😂 stay tuned 😉
Please, please consider removing you wedding ring when using your lathe.
Then I would get hit on nonstop… 😂😂😂😂
Honestly, I’ve been thinking about getting a few of those soft rubber ones.
