Freestyle Mesquite Bowl

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I usually plan my projects very carefully. This project is a freestyle bowl. As I turn and round the timber I let the timber guide me to a final size and shape.

    +Cip's Wood Chips I've heard that talking to yourself is okay as long as you don't answer! : ) Anyway, I did have a question. Why don't you apply the finish when the piece is on the lathe, and use the resulting heat to apply a glaze to the piece? Also, have you ever turned a bowl using Arizona Ash? I have a piece of ash from a neighbor's tree and was wondering if its worthwhile to try to make something with it. See you at the meeting!

    Having lived in the desert southwest, I have worked with my share of mesquite. That wood is harder than my head....and that’s pretty hard. If you had been using a cheaper grade of tool, you would have been sharpening it very often. The carbide is the tool I use to turn mesquite since I don’t have to sharpen nearly as often. I have also turned Argentine mesquite and it makes beautiful wood turnings, as well. However, the Argentine mesquite tree has thorns 3”-4” long and cutting down the tree for the wood can be a challenge without being injured. Try turning some Tamarix (desert salt cedar). It is a beautiful wood too, yet does not have the same properties of red cedar. Tamarix can be difficult to turn because of its hardness, but worth the effort.

    Howdy Glasscutr! It looks like you know mesquite. Mesquite in Texas does have thorns when it is young for protection. It looses most as it grows and thickens. Occasionally, I do find them embedded in the barks. It is a good idea to wear gloves and be careful. Cheers

    G’day Cip Nice shaped bowl and informative comments. Why didn’t you use bowl gouges during the making of the bowl. Scraping usually leaves tear outs which require more sanding.

    Howdy Greg! This is just a personal choice. I learned to turn wood in middle school. We only had scrapers. So, If my scraper is sharp and cutting well, I stick with it, cheers.

    Hi Cip, I am fairly new at bowl turning and I have a Shopsmith lathe, it is ok if your bowl blanks are as round as you can get but if a little rough and not well balanced the machine will try to walk off the location. The slowest I can turn is about 650-700 rpm. Shopsmith has a speed reducer but is very expensive and I don not have that kind of money right now. What brand of lathe are you using? I like the fact that you can turn it way down!! Keep up the good work. Whished I had some mesquite!!

    Howdy Warren! Only you are responsible for your safety, so be extremely careful. I turn on Nova Lathes, but I also own a small Jet lathe. For lathe bowls, I start at the lowest speed 150 rpm. I increase the speed until I can feel the lathe shaking, then slow the speed to stop the shake. Turning an unbalanced timber at 650 RPM can be risky. I would not recommend it. Kind Regards.

    Do you always turn at 5-6 hundred rpm? Seems slow to me, I find higher speeds actually turn easier for me. Just a thought.

    Howdy Michael! Yes, I do turn much slower than most people. Fast speeds generally give a smoother cut and quicker results. For me, I find that with sharp tools I get a good clean cut. I am retired and in no rush. Thank you for your question. Cheers.

    Howdy Pointer! Thank you so much for watching my video. It is difficult for me to say how long it took because I don't usually keep track. I would estimate: 1 hour to cut and rough turn the blank, 2 hours to hallow and shape, and about another hour sanding and finishing, plus drying time. Thank you for your question. Cheers

    How do you decide when to increase the RPM?

  • @CipsWoodChips

    @CipsWoodChips

    8 жыл бұрын

    +vitriolix Hey there Josh! Speed kills so knowing the right speed is important. At the beginning of this video I start as slow as I could because the raw timber was out of balance which can cause the lathe to actually shake the lathe and bench. So I start slow, increase the speed until it starts to shake then I slow it down a bit. As I remove wood the timber will slowly come into balance and I will speed up the lathe a little. I did most of the turning in this video at about 600 RPM. The diameter also dictates the speed. Large timbers I spin slow small things like spindles and pens I spin at 1,000 RPM or more. Finials I spin at 1,200 to 1,500 RPM. Thank you for your question. Cheers...
