- In this video I make a small black locust bowl using faceplates that would come with any lathe. All turning is done in real time to give beginning turners a sense of time required for this type of project. Small bowls are very popular as they have all the esthetic of a large bowl but are not cost inhibitive to most buyers and they can be turned on most lathes. I hope you enjoy this video, Thank you for watching!
Good tips on unmounting with hot glue. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Calvin! I appreciate it!
Thanks! I learned several new things, especially how to use hot glue.
I appreciate you watching, Thanks!
We really appreciate your videos.
Thank you Wayne, I appreciate you watching!
I just found you , thank you for showing how to turn and finish a bowl
Thanks George, welcome! I appreciate you watching!
Best turning video I have watched and I have watched a bunch very good instructional and informative thankyou
I appreciate that Brian! Thanks for watching!
Lovelpy video. Really well done. Many thanks for posting it.
Thank you Aidan, I appreciate it!
Thanks! You are a master educator!
Thank you Mats! I appreciate you watching!
Very informative and great commentary. You have a knack for teaching.
Thank you Bruce, I appreciate it!
I turn about ten pieces a week for the last three years. I live in Hardwood heaven southern Ontario on a big farm loads of hardwood. Just had tornado take down 100 trees. Won’t live long enough to turn them all but will try.
Unfortunate the trees came down but great that you got them!
Your tool control is always such a pleasure to watch, Lewis. Really enjoyed this video! 👍👍👍
Thank you Gord, I really appreciate you watching buddy! Stay safe!
Thank you for your skill, knowledge and patience. Your detailed explanations are greatly appreciated by those of us who are new to the craft. How new? My lathe is scheduled for delivery in 36 hours. I already have a chunk of wood set aside for my first bowl. I found it in a box of waste cut offs where it has likely been drying for 20 years, and it has no bark. As I told a dear friend, the wood is snot pine. It might be maple, it might be oak, it might be ash, but it definitely is snot pine.😇. Wish me luck, and again, thank you.
Good luck! You will love turning. Be safe and patient! Thanks for watching!
Luv how the grain looks n that bowl! 😍
Thank you Mandi, I appreciate it!
Great video it's nice to see someone who can actually turn demonstrating fairly simple starter projects there are too many fannys out there who think they are much better turners than they keep up the good ,also, please stop advertising Yorkshire grit products there are many superior products out there at a similar or cheaper price. ...J.Steven.Anderson. .Scotland God's country
I appreciate you watching! I am very pro Yorkshire Grit. I’ve been at this for 25 years and it has revolutionized finishing for me so I will continue to stick the tin in camera to help others. Scotland shares Gods country with Canada! Haha
In case you haven't tried this -- this man is very good. He makes it look easy. It isn't!
Thanks!
Is it just me, or does open grain wood have so much more character? Ash, oak, locust are all gorgeous!! Great video.
Thanks Tony, it isn’t just you! Add butternut to that list also. Thank you for watching!
Great videos with explanation of what you are doing and why. My only comment is on the sleeve guards. I'm not one to wear long sleeves around moving machinery. And...that is one heavy duty scraper! Thanks. Will be watching more of your videos.
Thanks for watching! My sleeves are elastic on the cuff and despite how it looks from the camera angle they are never too close to the action.
Very nice! I learned quite a bit!
Thank you for watching!
Another great informative video thanks
Thank you Neil!
Very relaxing watching a pro turning.
Thanks so much Sue!
Good evening sir I think it is absolutely awesome that you teach the people that does not know what to do. I am not a turner but I am crazy about wood turning, and I am a lady of 74 years. That helps me to understand things that happen.
Thank you Kobie! I’m very happy you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
Love the grain on that bowl. Thanks for sharing Lewis.
Thank you Jiggsy! I appreciate it buddy!
Great learning experience,thanks, Jim
Thank you Jim, I appreciate it!
Great instruction. The bowl is beautiful!
Thank you Dave, I appreciate it!
Thank you for the instruction. The use of the hot melt glue answered how I was going to attach my work piece to a face plate without screws. Many years ago when I was in junior high I remembered using a sheet of newspaper and wood glue to do the same thing. This seems faster since I don’t have to wait for the yellow glue to setup.
Thanks Bill, just make sure you use an good quality high temp gun and not a little craft glue gun. Thanks for watching!
Good tip/ caution. Thank you.
Beautiful bowl
Thank you Ahron!
seeing your progress between passes would be nice.
Stop after every pass you mean Russell? Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Thanks for posting your videos. Yes sort of, not every pass though, that would be slow. I'm a beginner and seeing what the progress looks like with each tool would be very helpful.
Got it! Thanks
Beautiful work deserving of recognition
Thanks Ali!
Wood grain so beatiful kaibigan new sub here.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching
Great presentation. I really liked the way you were able to respond to questions as the bowl was being turned. Makes it very immediate. Looking forward to another one. Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick, I appreciate it!
Great series! Excellent video!
Thank you David, I appreciate it!
Great idea to show newbies how to use basic equipment! Lovely bowl
Thank you Kathryn, I appreciate you watching!
Another quality piece of craftsmanship
Thank you Roger, I appreciate it!
I appreciate this series very much! I liked the light placement because it highlighted the edge as you were turning making it easier to see the thickness of what you were taking off.
Thank you!!
ThAnk you! I questioned the light placement as it made the turned surface appear much more rough than it actually was, I appreciate you watching!
Great job and excellent video
Thank you James!
Thanks for your instructions and tips. Very helpful.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Loved the video!
Always waiting for a selling price
since that is the stated goal of these particular videos.
Folks tend to price too low and drive others out of the market.
Hey Jim, these small bowls sell between $30 and $50 for me depending on the wood. Birdseye $50, regular maple $30 for example. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Thank you so much for your reply! : )
You are welcome
Thank you for sharing your information and experience. Thank you for sharing your video.
Thank you Mark and thanks for watching!
Good info for beginners!
Thank you Valerie!
Please God let me be able to turn like you one day. It’s just meditative watching your working
Haha, if you are getting God involved shoot higher than me! Thanks so much for watching!
Good series for anyone who has limited equipment or experience. One suggestion, I like a good piano concerto as much as anyone, but I think you should capture the sound of the actual turning. A lot can be determined by the sound made by a tool on the wood.
Thank you Douglas, valid point on the sound. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I agree with Douglas, I'd like to hear the tool sounds, too.
You do very nice work!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you James! I appreciate it!
Nice bowl and great info for a beginner... Thanks
Thank you, I appreciate it !
Brilliant work
Thank you Barry, I appreciate it buddy!
has always thank you so much for posting this. i just started my wood turning journey and have made a few mistakes but this should help me get started
Thank You James, enjoy the addiction!
Great Very informative I look forward to the next program
Thank you John! I appreciate you watching!
Nicely done, I really enjoyed your video and music. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you Bob! I appreciate it!
I was grousing I did not have all the fancy chucks, can't afford it right now, I do have one of those face plates, per your vid, I can use that to start making a bowl, thanks
Excellent Jack. I’ve made way more bowls on faceplates than I will likely ever make in chucks. Thanks for watching!
Great information.
Thank you Jack!
good job friend 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Fantastic Demonstration of turning with standard equipment supplied with a new Lathe. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Tom, I appreciate you watching!
Great video love your style and the enormous amount of info you give
Thank you! I catch some grief for talking too much but I don’t sweat that. Thank you for watching!
Great videos, thanks
Thanks so much Melvin, I appreciate you watching!
Good video, but i agree with Douglas Jones, about the pianomusic. It is good to see making bowls with not so much expencive tools and so.
I appreciate the feedback Jurgen, I appreciate you watching!
Nice work as usual. I also appreciate your teaching skills and your willingness to impart that knowledge to everyone. It really helps us rookies to learn how to do this. Thank you!
Thank Steve, I appreciate you watching!
As a newcomer to woodturning, have to commend you for taking the time to put these videos together. Have picked up a number of pointers from you that have really helped me to lower the frustration levels. Much appreciated 👍
That is great Paul! I appreciate you watching!
Love the videos, you’re the master at both turning and making videos that noobs can relate to, TYVM🤙
I appreciate it Clay, thank you for watching!
Thanks for your time to produce the video. Very informative. I've never used Hot Glue before while turning. I've seen it done from another turner from the great white north as well.
I did follow up on one of your videos about Bud Vases out of logs, and leaving the bark at the rim, and belly of the bud vase. I've actually sold a couple to a woman where I work. I'm hoping to build a small inventory to possibly take to a local Arts / Craft fair in the fall.
Thank you for watching Phillip. I’m glad the vases worked out for you!
Very nice turning !
Thank you Epsen, I appreciate you watching!
I’m not ready for a bowl but I like the Project That Sells series very much. That bowl has a beautiful grain!
Thanks! Really appreciate you watching!
Really enjoyed this
Thank you George, I appreciate it!
Very nice. I am new to turning, so I enjoy the different techniques people use.
Thank you Phil, I appreciate you watching !
Great tutorial, very easy to follow.
Thank you Greg, I appreciate it!
Great video Hun. Love to hear your explanations too. I'm learning all the time
Thank you Wendy, do you have a lathe yet?
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman not yet hun. This summer hopefully 🙏
Excellent! Looking Forward to that!
Lewis, you are such a good teacher. Very concise instructions without loss of extra words. Most of what I know I've learned from you... but I learned from someone else about why you use 2 hands to sand etc. I send lots of people your way when I think you're gonna be of help. I did agree with the sounds rather than piano to hear what it sounds like. Anyway, great video! Thanks for sharing your time with us. Stay safe, Vickie
Thank you Vickie, I appreciate it!
Beautifully turned bowl & interesting that you aimed the video at those just starting out on wood turning with limited equipment. A great educational, motivational & inspiring beginners & great commentary. Lovely shape & finish to the bowl. Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don, I’m trying to do a video like this monthly. Thanks for watching!
Very nice ... the second one of your videos I have seen, and I will be looking fore more. I also like and appreciate your music track - very calming and relaxing.
Thank you Graeme! I appreciate it!
Hi Lewis, Great video and lots of fantastic tips for new turners who haven't spent hundreds on chuck, YET!! Lovely looking bowl as well. Take care Lewis. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw, I appreciate it buddy!
Excellent teaching style...no theatrics or comedy relief...some channels are all about entertainment...
I must say I'm impressed with your touch on the tools while turning...I watch a number of folks and your methodology is very exquisite...
Another great piece...beautiful grain throughout...🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Pamela, that is very nice of you to say. I appreciate you watching!
Great video showing proper tool usage as well. Wish the camera was looking on the end when you did the initial hollowing.
Thank you Suzette! This was a twice turned bowl which means the inside and outside were rough turned before drying. The initial hollowing part that you didn’t see was just truing up the walls that were already hollowed. Thanks you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman gotcha. Great videos
Lovely bowl. I love black locust. In case you used too much glue i use a hair dryer to get it soft again.
Thank you Ruben! I appreciate it!
Nice, simple bowl for beginners. It is easy to forget when we have been turning a while and develop your processes and habits that there is more than one way to do something. And as you recognized, new turners do not always have the same tools and setup that may have taken us years to accumulate.
Thank you Mike, I appreciate you watching!
As always, great video series, my friend!!! You make it look easy, and your style of teaching is excellent!!!!
Thanks DD, appreciate it as always buddy!
I’m just learning … thank you!
Thank you for watching John!
Beautiful bowl!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I like how you explain. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have subscribed.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Ha ha! The way you break down this project step by step, I was hearing New Kids on the Block singing "Step by Step" as you laid it all out. Added a wonderful touch to the experience! I really noticed in this video the way the light plays off the edge as your move the tool over the outside. Had to do a double take to see if the wood suddenly exposed some lighter stripes that weren't visible before!
Just a random thought that might be in line with your "Projects That Sell" theme: have you ever made pieces using coloured pencils and resin? I once saw a set of a paper clip cup and a pencil holder cup made that way, marketed as gifts for teachers. I missed out on a set years ago, and have regretted it to this day. Just a little brain burp.
Thank you! I have your burl roughed in by the way. It will be dried on the weekend and hopefully stabilized, just waiting on some resin.
As always, Guinea is a legendary video, congratulations, I wish you success👍🏻
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I don't think I could run that; my lathe is small, and is on a wheeled stand! My father had a big brute of an old lathe, probably from the very early 1900s. It was all cast iron, and had huge drive wheels and a 4" wide belt that had to be moved to the desired wheels by hand. It didn't need to be bolted to the floor: it probably weighed over a ton! But he machined some amazing things on that puppy; even made his own milling attachment.
My mom sold it after my dad passed; I wish I'd learned better, but dad was more of a metal worker than a woodworker. He was a machinist by trade and hobby.
That is interesting! Thank you for watching!
Great video and explanation of your process.
Knowing that I’m going in the right direction helps.
Thanks Tim
Thanks Tim, I appreciate you watching!
Really like these videos. Prefer real time turning, not bothered by length. I would also prefer to hear the tool noise rather than music as its useful for understanding the process. Great job.
Thanks Bill. I appreciate the feedback
great!
Thank you!
The bowl is beautiful and the finish is even better. Great job.
Thank you Dale, I appreciate you watching!
Greetings from Germany! I´m a absolut beginner in tourning wood and well, thank you for your addice how to make a good conection with hotglue, because good Chucks are sooo expensive!
It was a joy to watch you tourning!
Thank you Michael. I appreciate you watching!
As usual, a very good video. Well done Lewis 😁👏👍🏼
Thank you Japie!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman now to just get my lathe sorted then i can get back to turning too 😁
I didn’t realize you were down
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman yeah, bent my spindle
I was given a 4 foot lathe made at a local machine shop. I don't know how big a diameter it can take.
I made a faceplate for it because the thread that receives the chucks isn't standard. The faceplate produces no vibration, so it's good.
I need to put a variable switch to be able to control the speed.
Then, I guess, I need to start with small projects and work my way up.
That’s interesting, you may need an inverter to get variable speed. Do you know what thread it has?
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman The tread is 5/8 standard.
WRT Variable speed, I've converted things to variable speed, in the past , using a dimmer switch for lights. I'll get one when I can get to town again.
@@ecocentrichomestead6783 is the headstock shaft 5/8 as well or turned down and threaded?
This is a wonderful piece and a great video! I am a newer turner and am looking to get the shop set up with the best tools I can get to make my learning curve as easy and enjoyable as possible. I love the way that bowl gouge works - I want one! What is it or what is the grind? I have several gouges with more pointed profiles but the way yours cuts is awesome!
Thanks for a great video
Thank you Geoff! That is a 5/8 record bowl gouge that I have had for a very long time. It is nearly worn out actually. The grind is just a standard grind done on a Wolverine jig. It is 40-45 degrees. Thank you for watching!
Love the way you ride that bevel/cut sir. Been turning for a month now, and I've been lucky to get lots of lessons and tips from our local wood turning chapter.
Question: have you ever used Tried and True Danish oil on any of your pieces? It is made of polymerized linseed oil. Heard it was pretty good stuff.
Medium CA glue (3408 or 400) polished with carnauba wax makes an excellent finish. Try it out!!!
I do use Watco Danish oil often. I’m not big on CA finishes as the process is much more lengthy than the wax or oil products. Thanks for watching!
Oh yes I liked the music
I appreciate that! Thanks
Hi Lewis, I was learning as I watched your project unfold. I seem to have a difficult time starting the inside of the bowl with the cut on my bowl gouge, it wants to run off the end. I know it is the angle of my present ion of my gouge but does you gouge have a steeper angle on it?. I know I have to watch this again because you had many helpful things you said. Thank you again, and enjoy how you move your tool so effortlessly across the bowl. 👍👍👍
Thank you Eric. My gouge has a traditional grind made on a Wolverine jig. The angle is 40-45 degrees. The best way that I have found to get a good entry cut is to align the bevel to the angle you want to cut and keep the flute closed. By closed I mean the flute would be pointing at 3 o’clock. Keep the tool almost flat, just a very slight tilt up. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
lol, I have that same bowl. I started in bowls and made one a day all winter four years ago and still have some. I turned to mills and now sold north of a hundred of them. Not wood but resin and wood as I found all wood does not sell well. I always have to have a pair around in my shows but they hardly get looked at.
That’s funny Lee, I find at shows and shops they get bought just because they aren’t expensive. Thank you for watching!
Liked the music, just a touch loud, missing the sound of the tools. You made some beautiful cuts too
Thank you Rex! I appreciate the feedback
your computer has a volume control
I understand what he means, the music level was coming in more loudly than the talking. I found a couple sections that I didn’t scale it back.
I have been enjoying your videos. Could you please recommend a hot melt glue and also a food safe finish?
Thank you Thomas, for hotmelt I prefer arrow brand slow setting high strength. I have also used 3M without issue. For food safe bowl finish, if the piece is for salad I use mineral oil, if it is for something dry like nuts or chips I use HUT wax. Thank you for watching!
Lewis very well filmed and great description of what you were doing. What grind do you use on your bowl gouge Please. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Douglas! It is a standard grind, 40-45% done on a Wolverine jig. Thank you for watching!
Great video / thanks for sharing. Whose scraper are you using / Thanks Again.
Thank you Curtis, that is a Hamlet scraper. 1/2” thick by 1” wide. Thanks for watching!
Very informative video. Where did you get the squeeze bottles for the sanding sealer? been looking for them.
Thanks James, I got them from Grainger. I ordered 4 to have one for various liquids but the courier left the package on my deck when no one was home and my pup chewed 3 of them! Thanks for watching
I'm starting to do cases. What kind of price point should I be on the cases. Small..medium, large large. No finishes green wood and what your cards say on them. U have a great way with words.. calming
I charge $2 per inch of heigh. The tag should say that they are made of green wood and that cracking is part of the intended look. They are meant to be rustic.
Thank you for watching!
nice
Thank you Glynn!
I’m curious why you shaped the outside of the bowl from the top to the bottom rather than from the bottom to the top. I would have thought you would get more tear-out going from top to bottom on the outside
Beautiful bowl by the way. That wood is really nice
Thank you Mark! The only way to mount a twice turned blank is by the bottom. This doesn’t give enough room to turn from the bottom to the top but you are correct. I don’t get tear out as I keep my tools very sharp.
I have a stack of black locust in my yard. Unwanted fire wood from near by that I think I can get a lot of good turning material from. It was felled only 2-3 weeks ago and it really stinks. Does your dried out wood still have that smell? How long did you dry it for. Thx in advance and I love your videos.
It doesn’t smell strong when it is dry. The climate determines how long it has to dry so the question is how dry. My blanks are around 5-10% when they were kiln dried but after being climatized once out of the kiln they are likely 9-12%. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful work, I wish my hand was as steady as yours. Your tools seem to be surgical sharp, do you use any specific sharpening jig and how often do you sharpen? Thank you New subscriber btw.
Thank you Gary and welcome! I use a Wolverine jig and a 280 grit CBN wheel. On a typical bowl, I sharpen before I start, before I make the finishing pass on the outside and before the finishing pass on the inside. Mind you, sharpening that often you need to just touch it up. If you notice, my bowl gouge is very close to end of life, I’ve ground about 6” off it. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Thank you, I have a couple "Shorties" myself. Mostly from sharpening free hand though. lol Gotta get me a jig!
A beautiful bowl and finish. Is the Yorkshire Grit food safe? And how much would you expect this to sell for in a retail shop?
Thank you, Yorkshire Grit is made from food safe components but does not currently have food safe certification. It is not a finish. I would sell a small piece like this for $40. Thank you for watching!
