I found, that when hollowing large bowls, I get a more stable, quiet cut if I set the tool rest well above center line. Doesn't work, at all, on the outside. I learned this making a big yarn bowl out of a cherry crotch (three end grains, on the outside, rather than two). Hollowing it worked me pretty hard. Mine looks like a curling stone. I'm tempted to make a little dome lid with a handle,, to complete the illusion.

Beautiful yarn bowl. Those auger bits are wild, I had the bright idea of using the 3/4” to drill the pilot hole, well it just got sucked into the blank so quickly. I immediately turned off the lathe but eventually had to drill and chisel all around it to free the bit. Never again.

Another beer job Lisa. I tried using a similar type of drill bit recently and found it way too aggressive. The threaded pilot just grabs the wood and jams the bit. I wound up grinding down the threaded portion to a simple point. It guides the bit without grabbing. I found the Irwin Speedbor style much more gentle and easier to control the feed rate.

Good point. It’s not critical in this application since I’m enlarging and shaping the hole but I’ll remember that for future projects. I also sorted out the drill bit - I forgot that I bought a cheap set of titanium coated uni-bits and the largest one steps up to 3/4” which is just about perfect. It cut a clean hole and should stay sharp for a long time since I’m only using it in wood 👍

Hey Lisa, Very pretty yarn bowl. However in my humble opinion that was practically heresy to cut out that beautiful little knot in the wood. I am a huge fan of wood and its imperfections. I try to make what the wood wants to be rather than force it to be something it does not want to be. Ok call me crazy. To me a knot should be displayed in all its glory considering how many years it took the tree to create that knot. Even so the bowl turned out lovely and I am sure some knitter will love it. Yall have a wonderful day.

@LisaRamlow

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Allyn! I am normally all about the knots and imperfections-the gnarlier the better! Unless you’re trying to pull yarn across or through it and then it’s gotta be smooth as a baby’s bottom. The inside of the knot was a little iffy so I decided to eliminate it and hopefully the chance that it might try to crack from there down the line, since cherry is notoriously prone to cracking 👍

Very nice Lisa, I need to make something like this for my mum, and avid knitter. 25:25 where you mention leaning over the Lathe, have you considered turning in Reverse? You may need to put a grub screw in the chuck where it threads onto the spindle to stop it from winding off the spindle. But it would allow you to see, and not have you lean over, or straddle the Lathe, lol.

@@LisaRamlow haha. Oh, just realised, not sure about the 18/36, but the 24/36 (as that's the Laguna I use), the headstock can slide along the bedways, so you may be able to position the headstock close to the other end, allowing you to do the same as you were considering by straddling the Lathe, would be safer as well, lol. The only thing I find annoying with the Laguna's is that the headstock doesn't swivel.

I was thinking "don't use that speed bit" as you put them on your lathe but you did. They are a carpentry tool at best. You recovered it well though. Turned out nice (excuse the pun)!
