This Video will show you how I made several different Slow Turners and will include all the parts needed and where to purchase them.

Very nice video. New woodturner and I blame youtube. After watching some lady in England making a box with pinecones and a few drops of green ink added to the resin… well that was it I had to give it a try. I have a midi lathe so my slowest speed is 150rpms and finishing is not possible cuz everything flies off everywhere. 😂 Not good. Thought about a rotisserie motor and then saw another video where the guy made a setup similar to yours. I really like the idea of the bearings for the extra weight support. Thanks 😊

Thanks Paul. Great help. As always your videos are awesome.

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much. Very difficult to find videos on this subject with a motor and different pulleys and such.

Does that epoxy bowl in this video say $300 on the bottom? Is that what you sell your bowls for?

[@paulbartlett]

That was the price for the set of 6 nested bowls.

[@dionlee3920]

is there a reason you used a threaded rod. problem i have is the 1" at the big box hardware stores are not fitting

[@paulbartlett]

They should fit the bearing blocks if that is what you are referring. if they don't just sand or file the threads down a bit. It won't need much

[@LesSpeer-o4k]

Do you use any sand and sealer for epoxy?

[@paulbartlett]

Yes sand to 120 then 2 coats of Minwax water base sanding sealer. then 3 coats of more or less depending on results you are looking for.

Thanks Paul I made mine like your s

I don't see the links to parts you mentioned. What am I missing? Thanks

[@paulbartlett]

There are at the end of the video each part is shown there 8 seconds at a time. You will need to pause the video and write it down or use a screen grap for each part. here is a link to one of my videos that shows the slow turner being used and the epoxy and brushes and process I use.

My Statement in this video about showing the actual use of the slow turner was at the end of most of m y videos was incorrect. It is at the end of this one ua-cam.com/video/_EQZBdFoI6M/v-deo.html
