I used to run a scrag saw in a cedar mill. The scariest hit was an old knife blade embedded in the top of an old tree. Man did that blade make some noise! LOL Great job! That bowl looks beautiful! Love it that you left the bullet in for a little character.

Thank you so much for the real time footage. So many videos out there and most of them are high speed videography. Now I know why my turning is so rough, I am moving the tools too quickly. Also, first time I've seen a video with the head turned off to the side for small bowl work. I was wondrring why my lathe had that feature, I've only seen complete 180 head placement before on videos. Thanks again. Oh yeah, SUBd.

I love the pivoting head stock, it really improves the access angle to the interior. Just make sure you're working with a balanced piece before you angle it out, or the lathe could become unstable and/or the piece could go flying off the mount. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tips. I'll try to remember them when I get the chance to get back out in my shop. I am currently in college as a middle aged disabled stroke survivor and spend a grand total of around 120-145 hours per week (out of the 168 hours we all get in a week) on school work, classes, and studies and spend several nights at my desk getting no sleep sometimes three nights in a row. I would love to take it slower, but have to be full time for the financial aid to pay most of it. When I get any time to relax it is usually in bed trying to catch up. Maybe around Christmas break I can get a little time out there. I have three education courses for a total of an estimated 800 pages of written work this semester along with Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra. My stroke left me with crappy memory skills and difficulty reading, both bad for a college student. I am maintaining a 3.9 GPA out of a possible 4.0, but going into education a high GPA will make me more attractive to potential Principals and school boards. Veteran status and disabled should give me and affirmative-action trifecta with being a man in a female dominated field. Of course appearing Caucasian will be a negative hit to A-A goals, but I am multi-racial, so another plus? I have to slave like a dog right now to balance my disability for an attractive GPA. Thanks again for the "normal" live speed footage. I'll be checking out videos when I get the chance during study breaks (usually one video here and there) totaling five to six videos per day including the one I watch when waiting for classes to start, sort of clearing my brain of the stress to concentrate on the class content. Brain damage due to stroke, PTSD, and ADH-OS (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity - OOOOO Shiney) is a hard triple hit for a college student at my age. Also, I tend to ramble/waffle-on, then have to cut back my writing for assignment maximums.

That takes skill and practice , wonderful creation !

It's probably not that uncommon that a bullet was in the tree. What's amazing is that the bullet ended up in the perfect place to become embedded in the side of your bowl. It could have easily been cut away with the outside part you trimmed off with the bandsaw. Or it could have been part of the inside of the bowl that was turned into dust with your turning chisel. An unusual set of happenings! Great job on the bowl.

timber holds lots of hidden gems. i recently chisseled out a notch for a fence post rail in a 4x4 an struck a knot in the post. i started thinking, why the heck did i lay my notch out right in a knot? i didnt! whats going on here?... then i realised it was a small pine cone imbedded and trapped inside the timber! perfectly preserved for how many years? i dont know. that sort of thing would make a great 'happy accident' if you were turning a bowl and it happened to land in the wall

Great turning with a beautiful result. I hope you don't mind me offering a little advice which may be of help to others. When you were roughing out the piece you could have kept the tail stock in place for a great deal of the time. Last April I was turning a large natural chunk of wood using a face plate to secure it. I didn't realise I was putting extra stress on the screws because of the unusual shape and it started to come off. I raised my forearm and took the blow and in doing so broke a bone. Normally such a break takes 6 weeks to heal but I healed in 3 weeks which I was mightily pleased about. However, during those 3 weeks I was forbidden by the Doc from driving which was a bit of chore and I couldn't do any turning. The message I want to put across is that whenever possible you should deploy the tail stock for more security.

@RHumphrey

6 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much, Alan. You are absolutely correct regarding the tail stock providing better support, especially when the piece is uneven or out of round/balance. My jig gets the piece very close to round, but regardless, it still would have been more wise and safe to provide that support. I'm glad you were not hurt worse, and want others to learn from that accident. Thank you for a very constructive comment!

With that Metal object Being Buried As deep as it was and judging from the shape I believe it was a Bullet because the part that hits its object is made from lead and when it hits its object it will spread out into a semi circle so as to do nore damage as it enters its target so from that I believe it was a bullet

While planing a large black walnut slab I heard a metallic ping sound and discovered a musket ball embedded in the wood. I checked with the supplier and the wood came from South Carolina so we thought it may have been a ball from the Civil War era. The ball was fairly centered on the plank in 3" thick walnut so must have been in there for many many years.
