A journey into wood turning.
Are you part of a woodturning club? I do interactive remote demos through Zoom on many topics. Visit my website for details on my demos and A schedule of pay per seat demos that I have open to the public.
There are risks involved with woodturning. My videos are only for entertainment purposes. If your not familiar with the turning techniques I use consult with an experienced instructor or mentor. Always use appropriate eye, face, and lung protection while woodturning.

Hi John. Beautiful box. Congratulations! John, what is the name of the style of these boxes with that point on the lid?
Sell it to whom?
I think it would look better if you sanded the top while it was on the latheand then sprayed it with finish.
That’s amazing Phil love the decoration was all a big surprise 😮 after the dark left just love it for being to full of lines makes you want to count the rings 👍🏻❤️beautiful
What angle grind is that?
Did I miss the dimensions?
I can smell the sawdust
Nice video you make it look so easy. How many different tools did you use? This is where it gets confusing to me.
👍👍
very nice bowl!
Can I ask.. those tools.. made from Allen key and butter knife??. I was thinking the same thing . If it works why not..
BEAUTIFUL
You should try rounding your blank with a 5/8” bowl gouge! So much faster than the srg!!
Really enjoying your videos. I'm just picking up on doing some turning after several years absence and your videos are a both a great refresher and inspiration. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge.
Thank you for describing your processes. And no annoying background music as you merrily turn away. . Did you plan to apply finish to the inside ? Your forster bit needs sharpening . It should be peeling curly shavings not micro bits , and how do you plan to remove the nub of the tenon from the bottom? Jamb chuck , pin jaws ? Relieve the bottom edge just slightly ? I heard you tick the chuck jaws just slightly , might want to touch up the gouge , and hone your other tools there was a lot of fine tear out that you sanded off that a pass with your skew, or a shear cut from a half inch Irish bowl gouge could smooth off first . I measure the depth of planned interiors and then wrap a bit of blue masking tape on the shank of drilling bit , leaving an allowance for the lead spur or tip of twist drill . You did not mention what wood that you were using . Spallted yellow birch , apple ? Overall a nice video
Do you ever wish you wouldve gotten a oneway or woodcut bowlsaver? I do lol
Have you ever tried this with black walnut? I know that black walnut likes to crack when it dries out so is this a trait that does not allow you to turn green walnut?
Where did you find the dept gauge been trying to find one? Thanks Michael
This is the one i use amzn.to/3VVFx1m
@@BlackLabelwoodworks thanks
Now I know how the Egyptinanians made those cool Vases.
Thank you! Very informative for someone starting out on first simple bowl!
JUST CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO 📹 ON YOU TUBE DID YOU USED A GUAGE TOO AND WHATS THAT OTHER TOOL 🔧 YOUR USEING PLEASE I MAKE WISHING WELLS AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE CENTRE WHERE THE ROPE WRAPS AROUND 😊
I do it at 430 because that is the slowest my lathe will go.
Great save. So glad to see a big beautiful bowl not be wasted. Thanks for showing us how to save our bowls from eternal life as a funnel.
I have a bowl that very suddenly became a funnel. Nice piece of wood too. I thought it was wasted. I'm going to try this. Great idea.
Awesome pieces of wood and excellent turning, & outstanding showmanship!!!
Like many others said I would not had the creativity and/or skills to turn and shape it from your vision. Awesome love it!
Thank you nice looking rack does your other chisels come out below Regards Steve U.K. London
Great video I agree no music, I love the British videos, but they never stop talking. You get to the point I saved this video in my library for future tips and tricks.
What size Fostner bit did you use?
Very interesting and useful video, like
That's not a thing branch. As big as my hand but good woodworking. Like that your telling us what gouges to use, most wood turning insee just uses the gouges but never says what they are.
I don't tend to make boxes... but want to add them to my product line. I work with mostly all green wood. What you do here is what I do with bowl blanks. Good to know the process is the same. (Oh... I always brown bag the bowls, write the date and what's inside)
What spindal speed are you using?
Something this size I start off at around 1000 rpms until its round then up 1500 - 2000 rpms. If its bigger then 4 inches I would start off a little slower.
I would have left it as is and posted it on 1stdibs for $2K as an ancient bowl.
Cool
Informative and appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
How long did you say you let it dry?
Thank you for making informative videos despite the negativity. New turners like me appreciate it.
Too bad you lost a piece of the bark. Real nice. I'm going to try these.
Some day I hope to start a wood turning business I have over 1000 bd ft of rough cut cherry that's been staked in my barn for over ten years, just waiting for me to build something out of there 1x6s2x8s I'll get there some day.
Beautiful!
Nice job
Never saw such a pretty little simple piece before 😊
Thanks. I was having trouble with this problem the occasionally occurs!
Glad it helped!
Hi Appreciate information and education your videos provide. My lathe can only turn up to15” diameter, thus I won’t be turning large/heavy pieces. On the Fugal Vacumn pump and chuck system is there a limit, size, weight that you have used? Thank you.
Vacuum chucks are great for light cuts to clean up bottoms of bowls or sanding small things. Skinny long turnings it will not hold well. As long as you have a chuck sized for the turning they work for things wider then long. Always use tailstock support for most of the turning with vacuum chucks.
@@BlackLabelwoodworks Thank you for all your help. I may look into a support system to hold longer pieces. I agree always provide support, take no chances.
Very nice. As asked in prior comment will look to purchase the inverted cone used on tail stock. As a new and local,turner appreciate your teachings, thank you. David
I'm out of here
Why
Well to start with this guy is over explaining like crazy, when I was 12 my shop teacher said half as much, the bowl blank was easily near 10” and he was going to make a 6” bowl, extreme waste , and hand holding a divider to mark a mortice ? The bowl is running out of true while he's doing the mortice that means the bowl wasn't secure on the worm screw( it happens but just leave it, no need to correct a few thou when you flip it, but it's unsecured on the screw) And that's just off the top of my head and I am an amateur. This guy has no business instructing anyone
Could you make a video without the boring background noise Why do you think you have to do that anyway, it adds nothing and frankly it sucks
really great video, shows how to actually make this box from start to finish!
Isn't it the worst when you bust through a wall
