Sweet bowl! I will be trying one of these in the near future. As a shop teacher I watched the strings from your sweatshirt dangling in the camera with dread. I’ve seen them catch and either yank out in a heart beat or slam the wearers face into their project. Maybe just snip those suckers out of there before working.
Brilliant Kevin, this has inspired me to make one......tomorrow :). You certainly demonstrated the need to have sharp tools, especially with wet wood. Take care Mike
Thanks again Mike! Have fun turning your own... I can't wait to see how it turns out. Knowing your work, I'm sure it'll be fabulous! :) Yep, sharp tools are a must with wet wood... even more with wet spalted wood. Have a good one, Kevin
+tangledfeet1970 I wish I could take credit for the design, but just like you, I saw it on UA-cam also!! LOL You should give it a try. It's a unique turning that's fun to watch as it develops. Thanks for watching! Have a good one, Kevin
Hi Kevin, Great channel you have here. Robbiethewdtrnr had a vid where he said, check out Kevin`s channel. So i did! I`m happy he told us, again another turner where i can steal ideas from and learn a little more around turning. Started this once, never finnished it. And i do like the little trics you show. For isntance the little piece you used in the tailstock. Just great. I`v been fighting with that one. This is just excelent. And i must say, if i see all you guys turn and turn and turn, making beautifull stuff, i get itchy and want to go to my shop and turn! So that`s just a great "energyzer". Thanks for the tips Kevin. Best regards, Dries
Happy you checked out my channel Dries! I appreciate all the complements! Go ahead and "steal" any ideas you can, we all do it. There's very few truly original ideas left in woodturning. Most new ideas are just adaptations of others' works anyway. And I know all about that itchy feeling you described... I wonder if they have balm for that! :) Thanks for watching, Kevin
Thanks again Robbie! Yeah, that's right, I remember seeing it on your website a few months ago. That would make for a great video for you to do! Take care and thanks for watching, Kevin
Turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I make quite a few of these and they are fun to turn. Good find on the crack, that could have ruined alot of work! Take care, Dave
David Morgan They are surprisingly fun to turn, aren't they David! And thanks to me good friend, CA glue. Where would wood turners be without it??? Until next time... have a good one, Kevin
Nice job Kevin I want to do one of these three sided shapes soon, I have been meaning to do one for quite a while now and yours turned out very nicely. Stephen Ogle's lidded one is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks Erik! Yeah, you have to try one, they're a fun turning. I watched Stephen's video yesterday, his turned out great (he must have more time to film videos than I do!!.. lol). Thanks again for watching, Kevin
Thanks for checking out my channel and thanks for the complement! Definitely give it a try, I'd say it was one of the most fun turnings I've done. Thanks for watching, Kevin
I feel your pain as I too do not have a band saw. Took me an hour and a half to get a huge piece of cherry down to what I wanted. Great project with lots of practice turning air. I love turning spalted wood but I've never had a chance to turn Maple. We don't have it readily available down south but I do get a good bit of spalted Red Oak. Great video.
Thank you for the complements Stephen! Yep, those bowls are a fun challenge... as I see you have one in your hands!! lol Thanks for taking the time to watch, Kevin
Werter Herr Krull,was Sie an Formen aus Holz gestalten, gehört meiner Meinung nach zu den besten Arbeiten, die in UA-cam Tube gezeigt werden.Kaaden Edgar
Argomil Many thanks!! And you can turn this bowl or any bowl without a chuck. Just turn the foot (or tenon) longer (than I did) and center it on a faceplate. Attach it with appropriate screws. When you're finished turning, just part off or saw off the extra length on the tenon then sand the bottom flat. Hope that helps!! And thanks for watching, Kevin
Very nice piece, first time I've seen someone start a turn with no chucks or spur. And great music. How do you like your lathe, was thinking about getting one as an entry level lathe. Thanks for sharing your videos. Take care
Thanks David! I saw that technique in an article I read, it works quite well. The Central Machinery lathe, for the price ($270), is a great buy especially as an entry level lathe. That said, the motor is a little underpowered and the legs could be a bit stiffer, but overall it's been great. I bought my lathe used and it had several "miles" on it, but I haven't experienced any real problems with it. Reviews that I have read on it have all been positive, so yeah, give it a try. Thanks for watching, Kevin
Hey Kevin, figured I'd let you know that I lucked up and got a Jet 1014 mini lathe. Craigslist score for $175. So now I've got to play with it a bit and get a few things, got enough to to start though. Already turned a key chain baseball bat and a candlestick holder. More fun than I thought. Thanks for getting back to me. Take care
Thanks Lee! Keep at it and you'll be there soon! As for green turnings, in general and with most woods, if your wall thickness is 1/4" or less and with a consistent thickness you should be safe from cracking and checking. What I've found that works with difficult woods and thicker wall thicknesses is to apply a danish oil finish (or BLO, mineral oil, etc.) shortly after you finish turning the piece. It's my belief that the oil help slow down the drying of the wood that leads to cracks and checks. Hope that helps, Kevin
+Luiz Antonio Hey Luiz! From what I remember, I started with about a 5 1/2" cube. The maximum size for a 12" lathe is close to 7". The finished piece is about 4" tall and around 6 1/2" in diameter. Hope that helps! Have a good one, Kevin
Hey Kevin, Again another interesting video. Couple of questions. First, how do you sharpen your gouge? I note that your using a finger nail grind. Second, and this is actually my wife's question, she says what do you guys do with all of the bowls you turn? She visualizes our home being over run with bowls. Charlie
Zaftig Buff Hey Charlie! I use the Jamieson grind from Lyle Jamieson's video. And yes, your wife is correct, your house will be over run with bowls!!! lol I sell some, gift some and display some in my personal collection. But yes, I have too many myself!! Have a good one, Kevin
Aaron Thomas LOL!!! That's great, I've never heard that one!! Hey, thanks for the complement(s)!?!? :) And the lathe, while being a cheap one, has served me quite well. Thanks for watching, Kevin
Nice job. Might have been easier to have put the tenon on the tailstock end don't you think? Then you could have reversed it as you put it in the jaws?
Yep, you're absolutely right. I realized that after I started; by then it was too late. Well, it all worked out in the end though! Thanks for watching, Kevin

Hi Kevin: beautiful turning, Three Sided Bowl came out great. Cheers Harry
Harry Watts Thanks Harry, I'm actually turning another one today. This time in cherry. Have a good one, Kevin
Very cool bowl! Quite unique! Great turn buddy!
BTOCALLMASTER Thanks, glad you liked it! This turning was a bit squirrely - but it was fun. Thanks again for watching, Kevin
Nice idea! One of the more novel turning ideas I've seen on UA-cam.
+tangledfeet1970 I wish I could take credit for the design, but just like you, I saw it on UA-cam also!! LOL You should give it a try. It's a unique turning that's fun to watch as it develops. Thanks for watching! Have a good one, Kevin

well done
All the best Robbie
Thanks again Robbie! Yeah, that's right, I remember seeing it on your website a few months ago. That would make for a great video for you to do! Take care and thanks for watching, Kevin

A great project that I look forward to trying out.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
+Don Fillenworth Thanks Don! It was very interesting to turn also. Thanks for watching, Kevin

I liked the idea of using the hollows on the ends of the cube to get started
What an awesome result!
Thank you, I really appreciate the complement! Thanks for watching, Kevin
Beautiful bowl and great workmanship.

Thanks.
Kevin, great work!!! Maybe you could do a video on how you sharpen your tools. ........
Thank you Joe! I'll have to put a sharpening video on my to do list. :) I appreciate you watching, Kevin
Amazing work. Any suggestions on how to make one with the lathe i got, i have no gripper/chuck on it.

Lovely ! I wish I had a lathe and could do something similar
Hey thanks Adrian! You just might have to pick one up and start turning. :) Thanks for watching, Kevin

Hey David, yeah, nice score on the Jet. I also got my lathe (and accessories) through a Craigslist score. Have fun and let the shavings fly, Kevin
Great job Kevin. I'm not that far yet but will do some day. How do you get away with finishing up a green piece without the cracking?
cheers

Since already thank you very much.

Has anyone ever told you your voice sounds like Johnny Cash? Awesome work, I have the same lathe
