Woodturning - The Far Out Oak Vase - A Little Off Center
I had a moment where I felt a little crazy and wanted to make something DIFFRENT. It is something that you will either LOVE or HATE. It was just something fun to do instead of a regular vase. I like doing off-center turnings, and this is how it goes. I really hope you all enjoy, and thank you for watching and subscribing. BUT - If you aren't subscribed - just do it, please!

Woodturning - Cherry Bowl Solder Inlay - Used Glitter Instead
zhlédnutí 111Před 14 hodinami
I thought that I would try something different for this bowl, and I really thought it would work. I had an idea to melt solder around in an inlay for this bowl, but it didn't work. I put glitter and resin in it instead. It looks really nice. I hope you all enjoy watching, and thanks as always. Disclaimer I am not a professional woodturner or woodworker.

Woodturning - A Segmented Aspen Vase - Too Big?!?

I cut this log in to pieces and then thought about how cool it would look to if it were put back together. So that is what I did. It would have been too big to work with for my lathe anyways. It is a really long video, but I think it shows everything that it takes to make a big project. Anyways, I really enjoyed doing this one, and it is a bit different.

    You could turn a piece of Black Walnut to be a solid base screwed onto the bottom of the lamp. There's always some little kid, like I was, who has to see what is under the lamp. He sees the felt, then he has to know what's under it, so he takes out his pocket knife and preforms surgery on the piece of felt. Very nice work, Jim.

    Very nice work, Jim. You mentioned possibly using a mortise on the bottom of the vase. That is pretty dangerous on an end grain piece. Because it is end grain tightening the chuck, or having a catch, or just the stress of cutting on a piece will cause the wood to split like firewood and the mortise will fail. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it is dangerous. Keep on turnin and learnin.

    • @jimmoorepa
      @jimmoorepa Před měsícem

      Thanks as always. I tend to stay away from mortises. But I wanted to finish the bottom without using a huge jam block. Thanks for your concern!

    Tip for peeling paper off crayons: Throw them in the freezer a couple of hours and the paper slides right off. Instead of paying a small fortune for Special Kitty cat litter...get wood pellets for 40 pounds for less than $10.00. Add some essential oil drops and a wick to 6:20 and get some awesome candles!

    Nice looking platter. If you combine 3 contrasting woods for center strip a very pleasing look will happen. Pls keep the chainsaw outside the workshop for cutting corners off only. Too crude for bowl prep. Did you use sanding sealer on raw wood prior to finish? Makes a world of difference for porous woods like ash. New subscriber. Keep the vids coming.
