I sand one face on my disk sander then the other on the lathe. Very fast and I do not have room for a drum sander.

These illusions are so hard to “un-see”. Once assembled they just won’t let me see the pieces, only the whole! Very well done both the turning and the explanations. Thank you for continuing to make such high quality videos. To answer your question about which is MY favorite type - this style, where you share advanced cutting and assembly techniques.

But, fortunately for the woodturning world, it's in yours and that, along with your patience in explaining step by step, I know these videos of yours will be with us for many, many years to come.

A viewer pointed out someone name Ruth Ann Berry and I looked her books up. While looking at some of the work there it was. The Great Illusion I did a few weeks ago. Amazing work she does with yarn. If I tried to do it in yarn it would look a big blob of yarn bunched up. I do plan on getting a nice little log for my next turning and then I have another surprise in the works.

Gary, I really like your videos. All beautiful work. I made the knucklebones bowl using butternut, maple, and cherry with black walnut as the rest of the base. I discovered that there is really no need for precise measurements of the component pieces. What I did was rip all my stock to the same thickness ( I used 0.75 inches ) and then use the stock to set the distance between the saw blade teeth and the stop on the fence. For the 6 dark triangles and the diamonds use one stock thickness. For the parallelograms and trapezoids use 2 stock thicknesses. Everything comes out perfect without any fiddling or measuring. I made dozens of components so in addition to the bowls I am using the knucklebones feature as the centre on some charcuterie boards.

You are correct there is not need to measure anything unless you are trying to make something to an exact dimension. I did not measure mine either.

Thank you Vickie. MC Escher really gave a lot of people ideas like this. I amazed that the quilting world has done a lot of the same illusions. Thanks for watching, Gary

@@ThePapa1947 I must admit until watching this, I didn't know of him by name. Maybe some of his things, but didn't know who did them. Me being a numbers person, I'm intrigued for sure. Probably why I like your creations. Numbers make sense. English doesn't. So I excelled in what made sense 😆

As always Papa.............an awesome illusion bowl!!

Thank you very much Alan and thanks for watching, Gary

Beautiful bowl. As you were gluing up the segments to make the “illusion,” I found I was getting a bit dizzy knowing it was flat yet my eyes were saying it was 3D. So cool. Thank you Gary!

Thank you very much Doug! When I held up the corner section and looked at it in the screen on my camera I swore it was not flat. And I made it!!! Take care, Gary

Absolutely love this illusion Gary ! Thanks so much for the measurement tutorial at the end! I may actually try this one someday, when I have time! I now have a tablesaw, to make my life easier! Heather

Thank you Heather. I like to think that this is easy enough to do once you see how it all happens. Best of luck to you. Take care, Gary

Outstanding video and tutorial Gary. Thanks for the geometry lesson. I understood the angles, but didn’t know how to determine the lengths of the pieces. I hope to give this type of work a try in the near future.
