  Looking good! Just finished the video. Depending on how you sealed them to dry the rest of the way, maybe an epoxy thinned out with some denatured alcohol before you sand. That may harden the wood a little.

  I have found that Cedar is very fragile when it is dry. I broke a bowl going thin and just sanding.

  @@clydeschuyler I snapped the tenon off one of the bowls I didn’t show. Was able to jam chuck it, recut the tenon and then hollow it out. Red cedar sapwood is on the fragile side so light cuts are a must. The heartwood is much harder so it’s easy to get a catch. I was being too aggressive tonight when I snapped the tenon. Reminded me to slow down 😃

  A couple additional thoughts on spatulas… they are great way to get more from the wood you get. I process all my turning wood from firewood so I end up with pith sections and I’ve wanted to do something with these pieces. I also learned that you need to use straight grain blanks. I attempted to make couple others that had knots in them and both of those either broke or had large pieces fall out.

• 
  @STMwoodturningАй бұрын

  Me too! However, it was good starter lathe and I gave a lot of thought into my choice. Although I had been watching KZread for several years before starting, I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on startup in case I found I didn’t like it so it was a good choice. It had limitations but I knew what they were going in. My Laguna was a great upgrade and fits my needs pretty well. I eventually plan to get the outboard turning extras so I can do bigger projects.

  You can avoid the cracking very easily by ripping the logs to remove the pith as soon as possible. Then just seal the end grain. I've had great luck with paste wax, latex paint or the glue you have there. The moisture has to have a way to escape and this method will slow the drying, but the chances of cracking are greatly reduced. As for the worm holes and insect invasion, I embrace the character it offers.

  I don't think I'm going against that the status quo using glue for sealer. Kerry Corney, a great turner from Australia, uses it and I've seen others. Check out Kerry's channel for great info on turning.

  @STMwoodturning it's more that I frequent Facebook groups alot. The number one answer time and time again is Anchor seal. I started using Elmer's just as something on my logs as a place holder until I got some anchorseal. I later saw Mahoney and Batty mention Elmer's or PVA for bowl blanks because it's more flexible in the drying process than the rigid wax and in theory let's the wood move easily rather than it forcing it's way through the wax. After seeing that and from my own results I started using it exclusively and try and tell people on FB about it but most people are set in their ways.Kerry is a great turner and I used to watch his channel quite a bit. I'm so busy now days with work 50-70hrs a week and every spare minute turning I don't get to watch as much of anyone anymore. I actually wanted to reach out to him about his accident because I did basically the same thing a couple weeks before his, but I was brand new to turning and wasn't sure about commenting and talking to people here in YT. You're doing great and I enjoy your channel when I get a breath every now and then.

  I totally agree with you about those bits you cut off on the rim, Stu. Can't have that. You're doing great, mate. I keep my end-sealing glue neat, too. I also used paint before using glue, and it worked. You should see if any clubs around you will take your roughed bowls off you. Some turners might want to purchase those bowls with cracks in them. I would seal them and call your local club. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Great video, Stu. Cheers for the mention, mate. Kezza.
