I learned to turn wood totally by watching the many fine turners on KZread. I don't think I could have done it without them. I don't know anyone who could have mentored me. I want to pay back by sharing what I have learned and some methods I have developed on my own, based on my many years of building experience with show cars and airplanes.

It has been a while. I hope the world finds you well.
I wish I had bought one of these when they still had them. I always knew they could be converted for metal for a small amount of money but now all of their lathes are a pittance in size compared to this one.
This is only the second video of yours I've seen. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting for the bowl to launch! Take a guess which video I saw first. Thank goodness you kept it together. I will be going through your videos for sure. Thanks!
Sorry, I can't guess. I have 284 videos.
Wow!! I’ve never seen anything like that before and I’m so glad that you’re okay because it could’ve gone one of two ways!!! It was like a bomb going off!!!
Yeah, I had to throw those pants away.
@@TheWoodWhirler I am not at all surprised because even though I was expecting it, it’s still scared the crap out of me LOL
Thank you again for the video. What type of glue did you use at first, before you covered it up with the sawdust?
Not glue, Winwax water-based sealer. You want to make a paste out of sealer and sawdust. Then rub it in. A little messy, but worth it. Larry
Could I ask, what are you wearing on your face to protect your face while you are using your lathe? I see a piece of leather hanging down and want to get something that will protect me while I am working. Thank you very much for this awesome video!
Standard face,ast with a piece of leather to protect my neck attached to the bottom. That's it. Thanks, Larry
Very beautiful!
Wow!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this channel! Makes me wanna come down there and learn from you ! LOL
What varnish?
What was that long thin live center you used? Seemed to give you lots of clearance when roughing out. Thanks.
Hope you are doing well. Miss your wood turnings
I didnt find your video til now. But i really wish you the better
For 189 bucks you can get a 3/4 motor and variable speed switch from penn state industries
I call that a “Napoleon Blownapart”!!! Glad you weren’t hit.
Could have sanded the center better.
Sure
you have to sharper the bit the same way you sharpen round carbide bits on the face of the bit one cutting edge will cut and the other one wont just like a twist drill
Thanks for your concern. However, this is a wood drill bit, not an end mill or steel drill bit. The tolerances are not as important unless there are unreasonably large differences. Minor differences would go totally unnoticed. Take care, Larry
you screw up the cutting edge by filing the top of the cutting edge you have to file the face like a router bit other wise you will not have the same cutting depth on both sides
I like your down to earth videos, Great tips.
I like your videos you've done. Several tips I've learned from you, that others video makers didn't offer. I like you keep it simple approach.
You still turning ? I'm from Louisiana and would like to trade some sycamore or sweetgum for a peace of that honey locus if you still got some, and where are you from ?
He’s learning just glad he’s taking interest in something worth while
Lets save ACKS! I've been in touch with Tom from ACKS abrasive paste. They are about to shut down their business do to sagging sales. They are a small mom n pop operation and make/sell a couple of great products at a VERY reasonable price. Fellow turners lets support this small business.
I agree, great product. I hope Tom's health isn't getting the best of him. They are good people.
Genius idea
Is this a fire hazard? I'd love to try it but I'm scared!
I don't understand, how could it be a fire hazard?
5:10 that give me hearth palpitations how fast it's spinning, knowing it has crack in it
No worries, shallow crack.
Did you use the minwax right from the can or did you dillute it ?
Right out of the can.
Hmmm, I missed this one! Nice job, Larry, I bet your wife loves it, too! Phil
Thanks, Phil, yes she does.
Looks like a fun camping trip, Larry! Complete with dinner! Phil
We had fun. This video was for grins, I trying to keep my channel alive. Thanks again, Larry
Oops, I watched the video twice to find out you set it to 165°F. Will you change temperature next time? Thanks.
What temperature did you set your dehydrator to? Thanks
That depends on a lot of factors. Normally if I'm not in a hurry and don't want cracks, I set it at 95F for at least 24 hours.
Nice job
Hey Papaw, this video brings back so many memories. I remember like it was yesterday, I'm dying to go back I miss that place so much. I cant believe the difference of me then, to me now. I've been wondering when we could go back. Love you pops!! Your favorite grandson Zak
Pops??? As long as you call me something nice, I'm all in. Love you too Buddy.
Beautiful Piece! Great idea with the pins to hold it in place. 😊
Nice harvest. Happy New Year.
My goo'ness! All the "advice" coming from off-camera! Get off your lawn chairs, BOYS!
Good quality family fun. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Good to see you. Happy New Year.
Oh, what a great vid. Start them young and they will never forget it. I've been wondering about you and wondered if you were still hunting. Hope all is well, Lee
Congrats on the deer. Happy New Year 🎊
I'm buying me a dehydator
You proved that you can get a grip on your tools Larry. Nice work my friend
Thanks for taking the time to make this and all your videos Larry. Like many others I’ve learned a great deal about wood turning from you and I appreciate your time and efforts to take us along each time.
Nice work Larry. You out did yourself on this one. Very pretty bowl.
Sure wish I could buy Blue Bell ice cream up here in New Hampshire! Great job too!
Beautiful
Awesome piece!
What an awesome chalice! I enjoyed watching your process. ❤❤❤
That's a nice piggy bank. Good idea on the fixing the lid too.
