I don't know what it is about your woodworking channel...but I could watch & listen to you all day. Watching all the beautiful work you do is absolutely mesmerizing and therapeutic. Thank you for your channel. Much love from Mobile Alabama.
I been watching these videos for a few days now and they are quit satisfying. I really don't know why these videos were sent to me but I'm glad they were. I never gave it a thought that a piece of wood could make anything but a house
After watching your video, it makes me wish I could have been your grandson so I could have being around you and your knowledge of woodworking. I know there is a lot to learn, but you make it look so easy! Thank you again for the great video, and you now have a new subscriber.
How wonderful, what a work of art of nature, revealed by your magical hands and sensitivity. It is emotional to accompany the revelation of such exuberance. Congratulations, it's to leave us breathless.
After watching this video....I found a 2 foot wide cedar stump......had it dried..and went to work on it... patience is a virtue...Mom loves her cedar pot..ty
Mr Rick I love your videos. I've learned so much by watching them. I just purchased my first lathe and turn a cedar lamp and an oak bowl. Keep up the good work!!!
I love the look and smell of cedar in the morning !! Beautiful job !! I have a guy that cut down a large cedar last year and told me to come get as much as I like !! It's about the same size as the one you just did. I'm going to cut some blanks and get right into it !! Thanks for the great videos !!
I turn it cause it's pretty, but its' challenging. I use a lot of shellac often to keep it from cracking, wood glue often for all starting cracks, then just like you for a finish. Nice work!!!On a good summer day I have watched it crack before my eyes, just sitting on the lathe...
Filmato non molto lungo che ha reso perfettamente quello che desideravo. Un lavoro semplice ma molto ben fatto. Grazie sig. Rick. a noi italiani piacciono le belle cose.
I thought the cedar bowl was beautiful before you applied the boiled linseed oil. But, after you applied the other linseed oil and paint thinner. POW!! It is gorgeous.
When I started woodworking an all I have is cedar. My first project was a ring, which was surprisingly durable for a weaker wood. It is an amazing wood that is easy to carve and looks fantastic.
A beautiful bowl very well turned and demonstrated and thank you for the sub having only recently started a channel myself your work is inspiring, cheers from will 👍😀
Outstanding, Rick! Try turning some Tamarix (Desert Salt Cedar) wood. It looks similar to cedar without the cedar aroma. The Tamarix tree is typically found in West Texas and Southern New Mexico and was originally brought to the US for erosion control. It is a highly invasive tree so you don’t want to plant it. Be prepared to sharpen your tools often since it is very hard. But, it does make beautiful furniture and wood turnings.
I’ve never heard of tamarix, but I’d love to try it. I haven’t seen it for sale at the various woodturning suppliers either. Thanks for the suggestion, Glasscutr.
Since you are pretty well known in the wood turning circles, I would imagine someone in one of the wood turning clubs in W Texas and S New Mexico could send you some Tamarix or Tamarisk. If I still lived in that region, I’d send some to you for turning. Unfortunately, I no longer live in that part of the country. Mesquite wood is another beautiful wood to turn, but can be a little hard on tools and chain saws when dried out. Thanks for your videos!
Google Tamarix wood and look at the images to see what the wood looks like. This wood is probably as hard as African Blackwood and is pretty tough on blades and chisels. It will take some time to turn a piece.
Nice job on both the video and the bowl. I had a feeling that it wold be stunning once you got a finish on. I like your folksy delivery. I think it would be easy for you to toss in the info of what tool you were using and why. It looked like you used a queen mother scraper for the whole inside job, yet it did not look like you had much tearout. A bit of chatting about what is going through your mind as you decide between tools and cuts would be helpful to me even with a fair bit of turning experience - I can only imagine how it might help a new tuner. Please keep making videos - you do a great job.
Rick - I've never turned wood before but watching you do it makes me want to get a lathe and try it. You do a great job filming and editing your videos. Nice use of transitions. Very easy and enjoyable to watch :)
It's a very beautiful bowl. I wish you would have actually showed us how you stabilized the crack... I also wish you would've showed us more of the sanding and polishing... still... 👍
I really enjoy your vids. I also like the beefiness of your tool support. My lathe is just a bit smaller than yours but would you mind sending the dims or a sketch? Looks to be very sturdy!
Hi, orgcoast. I used two two different tool rests in this video. One is a 12” rest that came with my Powermatic 3520b lathe. The other is a specialty tool rest “Double 9 D” - here’s a link to it: etsy.me/2P5tQnr
It is peaceful, except for the part where I’m cussing at the mistakes I’ve made, and ducking the shattered remnants of a bowl. ;-) Thanks for watching, Chris.
Çok güzel maşaallah sübhanallah Sıradan bir kesilmiş ağaca sanat verince Ucuz bir odun parçası mükemmel oluyor . Işte insanda böyle, allah'a ibadet ederse kaliteli bir kimlik kazanıyor. 💯🌹
When the video first started I thought you were going to just ruin some cedar. It looked to me like you were doing nothing right. Glad I kept watching. Those bowls are beautiful. Guess we are never too old to learn. Thanks for the video. Maybe there is hope for some of us old codgers yet!
Very nice bowl Rick! You are right. Cedar needs to be handled differently than the harder woods. Moisture content, temperature changes and even chuck clamping pressure can easily cause problems with cracking. You definitely showed that with a little extra precaution, the results can be beautiful.
Electric chainsaws are great, as long as you're close to what you're cutting. :-) Here's a link to my video on my electric chainsaw: ua-cam.com/video/V6Ugm1FnsJw/v-deo.html
Very nice Rick. I have just turned a bunch of Juniper and it turns really nice. Looks exactly like your Cedar!? I also use a circle jig on the band saw which I think helps. (Montana Wood Art).
Very nice. It would be helpful for us newbies to note which tools you are using as you progress through the project and why each are selected when they are. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Kent. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind when I get back to making videos again. Right now, I’m without a workshop after moving from Ga to Md.
I have a Powermatic 3520b lathe. It’s a full-size lathe. It has a 20” swing, and a max work length of 35”. It has a 1 1/2 hp 220 volt motor. The latest version is the 3520c model.
Wow, I’m impressed that an electric chainsaw could cut through that piece. Cedar’s heartwood is pretty hard. That’s some beautiful grain right there. Thank you for your informative videos, even when you’re not well.
That's nice. If you like linseed oil, then I wonder if you have ever tried Lin Speed gunstock finish. It is just rubbed in with your bare hands, multiple times, and it comes out looking great. Because it's made for gunstocks, it can stand getting rained on (washed) but I don't think I would put food in it.
Great video, beautiful piece, I like your work a lot. One safety comment though, at the beginning of the video when you had the wood mounted on the woodworm screw, I expected you to bring up the tail stock for a more secure mounting during the initial turning until it got in the way. To help keep the blank from launching itself.
Hi Rick, I really appreciate that you actually talk about what you're doing through your videos. Please don't stop teaching and commenting!

Thanks for watching, James. I've got lots more videos to watch, done after this bowl. Keep watching!
Since I've retired the hardest thing I had to learn was how to smile more. And I think the bowl is great.
Thank you!
I love the look (and smell) of cedar....Thanks for the video!
Thank you, Cathy.
He's being truthful. Cedar is not advisable for homes as it is toxic. That's why ceda r closets repel bugs and rodents - it's TOXIC.
Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship.
Thank you. I often manage to stun myself, usually with a piece of flying wood.
Great video...Beautiful bowl

As usual beautiful bowl Rick love the grain
Thank you, Raymond.
Gorgeous work on the bowl, it looks fantastic. Takes years to develop those kind of skills.
Thank you, Lisa. Yes, I’ve spent years developing my dumb luck!
Your very welcome. I'm subbing.
That wood is stunning! And the bowl looks excellent. Thanks for showing us.
Thank you, PlugMartian.
Thank you for your video, all I've got to do now is finish building my shed and get turning again. Thanks for the inspiration.
That’s great, Declan...a new shop is always fun. Enjoy your turning, and thanks for watching.
I bet your shop smells fantastic! Will enjoy your beautiful bowl from afar, my daughter doesn't react well to cedar.
Yep, the workshop smells like a death threat to moths. Thanks for watching, Bill.

I dreamed of having such a lathe? please give me information about your lathe ?
I have a Powermatic 3520b lathe. It’s a full-size lathe. It has a 20” swing, and a max work length of 35”. It has a 1 1/2 hp 220 volt motor. The latest version is the 3520c model.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning How much do you buy the machine for?
When I bought this lathe, it was $3500, I believe. I think now the price for the new model is about $4500.
Good looking bowl u got there

Beautidul wood , beautiful job!
Thank you, Davide.
Beautiful. a good size bowl. cheers Buddy. Desmond.

Wow, I’m impressed that an electric chainsaw could cut through that piece. Cedar’s heartwood is pretty hard.
That’s some beautiful grain right there.
Thank you for your informative videos, even when you’re not well.
This one seemed pretty soft. Thanks for watching, toOnybrain.
That's nice. If you like linseed oil, then I wonder if you have ever tried Lin Speed gunstock finish. It is just rubbed in with your bare hands, multiple times, and it comes out looking great. Because it's made for gunstocks, it can stand getting rained on (washed) but I don't think I would put food in it.
Thanks for the info. I’ve never tried that, but it sounds good.
Great video, beautiful piece, I like your work a lot. One safety comment though, at the beginning of the video when you had the wood mounted on the woodworm screw, I expected you to bring up the tail stock for a more secure mounting during the initial turning until it got in the way. To help keep the blank from launching itself.
Yep, I forgot to bring up the tailstock.mi normally do that. Thanks for watching, John.
