Woodturning: A Bowl of the Warped Persuasion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This ambrosia maple log was cut just 3 weeks before it was made into this bowl. The wood is dripping green. To escape splitting during drying, I turned this bowl very thin. As it dries in the weeks following this video, it will develop a beautiful wavy rim.

I love the shot thru the spindle, Rick!
Thanks, Mike. I bought a boroscope to get some unusual shots. I’m planning to use it mainly for getting shots of turning inside vases and hollow forms.
Be sure to give us a quick peek when it does dry out - I'm curious to see 👀 Thanks for sharing🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷💉
p.s. You can the really good vids - you look up and realize they're almost finished !! This was certainly one of them Rick 🏆
Thanks for watching and for your comments, Mike.
Man, that’s going to be awesome once it’s finished moving. I hope you will show the dry bowl when it is finished. If you don’t mind my asking, what do you think of the Robust tool rest? I have been thinking about getting one of those and would like your opinion. Thank you, Rick! 👏👏👏
Happy turning,
.....Gord
That Robust tool rest is a replacement for a Nova tool test that recently broke on me. The Robust tool rest is 15” long, and appears to be much better welded together. I haven’t used it too much yet, as I only got it recently. Thanks for watching, Gord.
Hi Rick,
Very nice bowl!
I really like this kind of shape, the wood grain is pretty😉
The job is well done and pleasantly filmed👍
Take care of yourself
Morgan
Thanks for watching and for your comments, BAW.
Wow, that's a very large bowl, Rick! I just love the shape of it. Looks like a trumpet flower. I'll bet it looks even better once it takes it's final shape. Fun video, thanks!
Phil
Thanks for watching, Phil.
Great looking bowl Rick. Certainly was a large size piece which you handled just fine.
Great job on the patch hard to even know it is there.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks for watching, Gary. I had a large maple tree taken down in my backyard, and I have a number of logs that are 15” or more in diameter.
Nice big bowl, but unfortunately hit through, but the final result is still very good
Thank you, Mr Zhou.
Hi Rick... man that is one big bowl... you made a great job of it ... the Maple is beautiful and you achieved a lovely finish... loved the camera angles... If you don't mind me asking where did you get your stamp... I could do with one of those... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thanks for watching, Andy. I got that stamp quite a few years back, and I don’t remember which online vendor I got it from. They had a design app on their website that made it fairly easy to lay it out. If you search for customized rubber stamps, you’ll find a lot of places that will make a stamp for you.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning 👍👍
Looks great, Rick. You'll have to show us the bowl after it dries. How much of a shower did you get from the wet wood? Take care.
Bill
I was getting quite a bit of spray off the chunk of wood. It was all over my faceshield, of course, and also back behind me on my workbench and even on top of a tool cabinet about six feet away. Thanks for watching, Mike.
Oops, typed the wrong name, Bill - I do know you’re not Mike.
You know what I like the most of you? It’s you am have a big lathe and make big project
Thanks a lot for this cool video Rick
Stay safe 🤘🏼🙌🏻
This was the biggest bowl I’ve ever turned - had a really big maple taken down in my backyard, and I’ve got a lot of logs that are 15” or more in diameter. Thanks for watching, Villy.
Wow Rick, I love it!
Thank you, Harry.
Hi Rick, Great bowl and you have to love Ambrosia Maple. Fantastic fix on the catch. I have only ever used PVA and wood shaving to fill something. I'll have to try CA. Take care Rick. Cheers, Huw
Thanks for watching, Huw.
Nice deep bowl Rick. You have made also beautiful recordings of the tip of your gouge. It was nice to see how you ride the bevel. Educational! Thanks for sharing.
👍Frank.
Thanks again, Frank!
Man that lathe you have there is crazy. My lathe is in the £500 category. I like your editing style too I make something very similar. Nice job my friend.
Thanks for your comments, Mustard.
Nice job and camera angles✨
Getting from Japan🙇🇯🇵
Thanks so much, Yamabiko.
Hi Rick. That is a beautiful bowl. Will be interesting to see how the shape develops when drying.
Thanks much, Sigurdur.
Will be a honey when she's settled Rick👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks much, Alan.
Very beautiful bowl Rick and nice video footage as well.
Thanks for watching, Jojo.
Really nice job Rick! That ambrosia maple is gorgeous, and you did a beautiful turn. Good save with the shavings and CA!
I’d be lost without CA glue! Thanks for watching, Dave.
Now THIS is how you make a turning video. Camera shots are stupendous! Shavings everywhere and I felt like they were landing on me too. At 4:23 is see the CC come up RING TOOL. Say what? That looks like a handy unit there. Do I need (want, same thing right) a new tool? Not enough o’s in cool to describe this video and the finished art piece. So glad you share your experiences, your knowledge and attention to detail. We can only watch in amazement. Little jealousy there too.
Thank you, Cathy! I doubt that you need a ring tool right, they cut quite a bit differently than a carbide-tipped tool. But it is fun to use.
Hello rick, great bowl and some unique camera work you made.
Shame about that catch, but you solved it nicely, that's the true craftsmanship you have👍👍👍. Cheers, Hans
Stay safe and keep turning
Thanks for watching and for your comments, HB.
Thanks, Rick! Like your "stamper" for the signature.
Thank you, Lewis.
I really like the CC. Your comments added quite a bit of information. Thanks for doing it.
Thanks for watching, Ken. I was a little dubious about the closed captions at first, but they came okay.
I really enjoyed this video for some reason. You really out did yourself. I see you have a swing away for your lathe. Is that recent? Is it worth it? Thanks for sharing Rick.
That swing-away tailstock attachment cost around $300. Worth it? It was to me, because when I’m doing tall vases, using a long hollowing tool, the tool handle kept hitting the tailstock. Of course, I could take the tailstock off, but that thing is heavy! Thanks for watching, Joseph.
Rick, you do great work. Will you please talk a bit about the stamp you use on the bottom of your pieces. Thanks.
Bill
Hi, Bill. I've had that rubber stamp so long that I've forgotten where I got it - it was when the rubber stamp companies were just getting onto the internet. There are a lot of websites that do custom rubber stamps now. Search Google for "customized rubber stamps", and find a site that lets you do designs in the webpage.
Nice work Rick! That Ambrosia maple is unbelievable!
Thank you, Unruhly.
Beautiful bowl. Love how your work enhanced the natural grain and color of the wood.
Thanks for watching, Ma.
Great recovery on that huge catch !! In the final photos, I had to rewind and look closely to find the repair. I'm a member of the funnel club, but think you created a new club - the sieve club. I'd never seen a tear out on the wall of a bowl.
That hole surprised me. If anything, I would have expected the side to shatter and break off. Guess I got lucky! Thanks for watching, Doug.
Nice bowl Rick. Live the grain. I was surprised when you trimmed down that high spot. Figured the wood would already be warping. I see at the end it is startup to warp.
It was indeed warping toward the end of the video. Should look great in another month or two. Thanks for watching, Suzette.
Rick, it's nice to see someone else likes to watch their bowls warp. Beautiful now, but just wait till it starts moving.
I think it’’s going to be a good one! Thanks for watching, Gerald.
That a nice big ash maple bowl!😃👍🏻👍🏻
😄 Thanks for watching, Mike.
Looks good Rick. Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you, JCW.
Nice work Rick, love the design and grain formation. Take care, John
Thank you, John.
Beautiful job rick. It's great. 😊😊👏
Thanks for watching, Alvaro.
What a gorgeous bowl, nicely done Rick.👍
Thank you, Torbay.
Nice job Rick, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, M H.
:D wow I love 'spindle-cam'!
Thank you, Matt!
Really nice bowl Rick. I love the shape 😁👍🏼👏🇿🇦
Thanks, Japie.
Nice bowl Rick, Do you protect you lathe ways with wax or something else?
I use a metal protectant spray on the lathe bed, and especially when turning wet wood, I brush the shavings off the lathe. Thanks for watching, Rob.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning I use wax and mine turns brown before I finish the bowl...never mind the tool tip. Keep well, Rob
Thanks for sharing have a blessed day in the name of Jesus
Thanks for watching, Tim.
Nice piece, liked your repair. Maybe a little detail to the bottom?
Probably would have looked nice to have a textured line or two on the bottom - the bottom sounded like it was very thin, and I didn’t want to take any chances. Thanks for watching, David.
Nice job Rick. I like how the bowl bends when it dries.
I like the warping too s gives it a great wavy top. Thanks for watching, Lars.
Man, that kickback at 2:35. I've run into that too. What is the cause, and how do you avoid it?
That bumping of the gouge at that point is, I believe, caused by the uneven surface of the blank (one side higher than the opposite), combined with the relatively slow lathe speed - about 500 rpm at that point. Thanks for watching.
Love that bowl Rick!
Thank you, Jordan.
nice bowl,rick!but i mis some exlosions! :)
Thanks, Ben. You’re right, I completely forgot to put in an explosion or two. :-)
Beautiful piece Rick grain is real nice
Thanks for watching, Rich.
Nice job, I hope you update with some pics in a few months.
Thanks for watching, Chris.
Beautiful Piece Rick!
Thanks much, Kimsey.
Beautiful bowl Rick.
Thanks for watching, Jack.
Hi Rick, I just had to chuckle about how in the CC you had weeds instead of weeks and thinking of myself how i do that and need spell check all the time now.
That wasn’t actually the spell checker. Those closed captions are generated automatically by UA-cam. Thanks for watching.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning Yep enjoy watching. I teach other disabled vets like me how to turn and tell them to watch you to
Great camera positions...
Thank you, Donald. I put a lot of effort into trying to get good pictures of the work, and I love it when someone compliments me on it.
Schöne Arbeit, gefällt mir sehr gut 👍. Immer schön was von Dir zu sehen 😍 Lg aus Duisburg 🇩🇪
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren, Dirk (Übersetzung von Google Translate, hoffe es macht Sinn)
Great job Rick..
Thank you, Terry.
VERY pretty!
Thank you, Gail.
Beautiful.
Thank you, Glen.
Wow, it's huge. Love the markings in it. Please show us when it's done waving. Lol. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
Thanks for watching and for your comments, Vickie.
Rick.. That is one stunning bowl. All the unique thoughts on the camera shots and the effort you put into these videos.. love your stuff. Well done sir.
Thank you so much for your nice comments, Mike. I do put a lot of effort into shooting the video, and I love to hear compliments on my videography.
