Nice piece again Heather

A beaded accent ring is a great idea. Well done! Thanks.

Ooh, I like that ... verrrry nice ... the oak is beautiful on it's own, but the beads just add a wow factor ... gorgeous 👍 For the clicking, very hard to tell, but I'll give it a go ... 1) Start without the chuck, if clicking then then possibly the spindle bearings starting to go or even a slight frayed belt. 2) Add a faceplate or something else with some weight to it (about the same weight as the chuck if possible), but no moving parts (like the chuck), if clicking then see 1) 3) Do you still have your old machine and can you run your chuck on that, if no clicking then see 1) 4) Looks like something to do with the chuck ... you'd need to dismantle and investigate!! Easiest way to sort the clicking is buy a new machine and chuck ... problem solved 🤣

Lol I like the new lathe and chuck idea! I'll run that by my husband!🤣🤣 It was the chuck. Where the chuck key goes into the chuck to tighten the jaws, the "thing" is loose.

i lovevthe beads idea, very appropriate culturally herebin NewvZealand, I'll be trying it, thank you. great result overall. Tena koe

Kia ora John! I've found that this type of beadwork is pretty universal for indigenous cultures around the world. I am Metis, which is a mixture of Native American, (Algonquin Indian), and European. I love bringing a bit of my heritage into my work. Id love to see what you do with your piece when you finish! Haere ra -Heather 🇨🇦

@@spiritwynd my Maori people use glass bead design in belts and neck pieces of korowai, I want to apply it like you did under the rim of a bowl or on a platter. did you glue it into place?

@spiritwynd

It's just sewn back into itself, which hides the starting and end point. I Don't use glue, just a bit of recess holds the beaded ribbon in place. It's free moving and could even be removed if necessary. The fishing line that I use has a bit of stretch but is very strong

Lovely bowl . Have you sanded the top of your friction drive block ? Have you ever tried mounting using outdoor carpet tape ? How did you secure your beaded band , just stitch the ends ,or did you use some CA gell under it ? Do you have Cole jaws ? I love the southwest color scheme and will have to give it a try

@spiritwynd

I didn't sand the friction drive block, have used double sided tape before, but not for this, I stitched the ends together, (no glue), I do have cole jaws, ( didn't think of using them). Thanks for watching ❤️

Really like this one!! How is it attached?

@spiritwynd

6 ай бұрын

Thanks! I just sewed the beaded ends together where they matched up. Now even I have to look really close to see where the connection is! The beaded band spins freely from the bowl.

Looks great! BTW, I’ve made a couple of the “off-center” trees but the top bit causes me trouble, I.e., not able to get the elongated swoop like yours. Any tips to preserve the top of the tree? I have made a Maple, Cherry and Walnut tree.

@spiritwynd

I only turn a bit of the top of the tree, then I hand carve the point, giving it an elongated swoop. Hope this helps. Heather

Sounds like a worn jaw that's loose or loose worn screw

The chuck is brand new, shouldn't be worn, I'll check again for loose screws

I hate to be semi-negative but I am wondering why you spent 3/4th of the video showing you and finishing a very ordinary bowl (of which there are hundreds videos) rather than spend more time on the inlay which was very clever but you neglected to show how you wove string the beads and how you attached to the bowl.

Great question! And no offense taken. I have been thinking the same thing. I will be making another video showing more of the decorative process for this bowl.
