In this video I experiment using the Robert Sorby texturing and spiralling tool combined with Milliput to create patterns on a Castello Boxwood bowl.

That is a sweet little bowl, and it's nice to see how well the YoGrit works both on the wood and the milliput. Thank you for sharing your process Jim!

Thank you so much Jim for another amazing project. That is a fine piece of box wood and I think you might have trouble finding a similar size nowadays. I've been using the Robt Sorby texturing tool for about a year and if I intend to texture an item I test it at an early stage as not all woods take to it. The Blackdog channel is a great idea as wood turning has rescued me from so many situations. Best wishes, Alan.

The Black Dog Workshop is certainly a great idea, there is no doubt that Woodturning is highly therapeutic. Cheers, Jim

Thanks Glyn, glad you like it. I love turning boxwood but it is better if you add shape, pattern and or texture because it can look a bit bland sometimes. There does not tend to be a strong grain pattern and the perfect finish that can be achieved can be a little too perfect. You can certainly add a lot of detail to it. The Yorkshire Grit performed beautifully as always thanks. Cheers, Jim

Thanks Lee. Always have a plan B ! You can't really thin Milliput, you can mix it with epoxy resin but it just gets rather sticky. If you need a a thinner version you would be better off mixing pigment powder and filler to epoxy resin until you get the consistency that you desire. The beauty of Milliput is that it stays where you put it and it doesn't run. Cheers, Jim

Sorry James, i just reread your comment, and i am using the lower part of the bevel, just behind the centre. You should avoid contact with the upper bevel as this is unstable. I was catching up with all my messages on the ferry back from France and not concentrating due to feeling a bit sea sick. Brendan Stemp has done a great couple of videos called "no catch bowl turning" where he shows the bevel really well but you cant beat a proper lesson. All the best Jim

Hi Jim, great video, I really enjoyed it. I see you have chosen boxwood for this project.

Thank you very much Ricky. Box wood is fantastic for texturing, I have used other timbers and all but very soft or brittle woods work well.

nice bowl, I am a beginner turner, and have a question: how do you measure up for the fixings to the lathe and why did you not do it between centres?, as it looks like most of the shaping is done on the outside.
@JimsonMakes
4 жыл бұрын
I use a Chuck rather than turning between centres because you can’t hollow out a bowl safely and efficiently between centres. I measure up the chuck jaws using a pair of dividers and then transfer this measurement to the workpiece. I always advise new turners to get a couple of lessons with a professional, it is good to learn how to turn safely and it will speed up your learning. Many thanks for watching Andy. Cheers Jim
Jim, wonderful job, it was one of those, why didn't I think of that? where did you find the tool platform? I looked at Robert Sorby and it is not there. this is exactly what I have been looking for.
@JimsonMakes

Thanks Kim. The toll rest is called a box scraper platform. See the following link www.yandles.co.uk/robert-sorby-768-box-scraper-platform-for-sorby-modular-toolrest-system/p5666 It is part of the Robert Sorby modular tool rest system. I have modified mine slightly by rounding the left leading corner, this enables me to get in closer inside a bowl. Take extreme care when using this technique, light cuts only, if you get a catch it will be a bad one because there is no where for the tool to go. It is a very effective technique, giving great results with a negative rake scraper used just above centre. All the best Jim

I'd never seen a texturing tool before and was really confused by how it would work at first. I would guess that as the grooves start getting cut, the blades then start to catch and emphasize the existing grooves? Also, if that thing needs sharpening it must be a pain.
@JimsonMakes
7 жыл бұрын
You have summed up how it works. There is a technique to sharpening them that involves using a round piece of stock in the lathe, holding the wheel against it whilst it is running ( this gets it spinning ), you then hold a small diamond card against the side of the wheel. This is quite simple. With practice you can get it to spin and sharpen by holding it at the correct angle on a sharpening wheel apparently. Cheers, Jim

Jimson's Stuff ok cool thanks great effort
nice work, ive never really understood how those texturing tools work,because ive always thought that like gears you have to work out the diameter of the cutter then work out the diameter of the piece you need so when the piece does a full 360 turn the next point falls into the dip that another has created? or if not then any subsequent turns gets the pattern chewed up, looking at the video this doesn't seem to happen, is it something you do or am I over thinking things? Mark.
@JimsonMakes
7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mark. You are quite right about the diameter issue. It is easy if you want a random pattern but if you want uniform spirals then you have to get it right and probably change diameter etc. That's partly why I did a few practice cuts. There are 3 variables that can be changed, the cutter tooth spacing, the angle of the cutter and the diameter of the workpiece. All of these variables will affect the pattern. It is certainly something I I'll be doing more of in the future. Cheers, Jim

The texturing tool is Robert Sorby and should be available on several websites, not sure about Amazon. Milliput is available on Amazon in the UK. Not sure what the lathe speed was, it was a long time ago, I just use a speed that feels right, from experience
