Thank you Jane, both kitties love to come out and wonder around. They will follow me to the door and look up like the are asking if it is ok. If I turn a noisy machine on they get out of there real fast Yes after having a work bench in the same spot for 45 years I decided it just did not work very well. So that meant dust collector changes and move some wires to the machines. Liking it so far but still trying to straighten up a few things. When it is cleaned up I will try to show what I did.

Hi Gary! Beautiful little English walnut bowl, and the Howard Feed’n’Wax gives it a lovely subtle shine, I like that a lot, lets the wood show its natural beauty… The worm holes add to the interest of the piece, and who knows, if used as a breakfast bowl they might even add a little bit of protein to your corn flakes 😉 In any case, if you serve breakfast in this bowl to your wife next February 14, it will surely put a smile on her face 😊👍🏻 Beautiful!

I gave it to her today and might have to put something in it special on February 14 next year. Thanks for watching and the great ideas. Gary

Hello Papa, since I read the book about the woodturning god Ellsworth, I know that not only the handling of the woodturning tool, but also the posture of the person who creates it is decisive for a good result. If you are blessed with the knowledge of the correct posture of the woodturning tool, this question remains open, also in all of your videos. After studying your videos and the book for several months, many a move occurs to me, or rather I notice it in you. I would like you to show a video in which you show your posture in certain turning positions. Thank you from Northern Germany.

@ThePapa1947

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Schorschi! I have not read the book or know much about Ellsworth. My posture at the lathe was developed as a wood pattern maker. Here we had to make very accurate cuts to match dimensions on a drawing. So total tool control is very important. To me the most important thing is to be relaxed and precise. I will try and setup the camera to try and show that. What angle would you think is important to you? Thanks for watching, Gary

Very nice heart-shaped bowl. I didn't know if you'd be able to get rid of that tear out. Howard's was the right call. I've been using straight walnut oil on a few recent projects that called for a satin finish. Takes a long time, but a nice natural finish for projects like these.
