Escher (Tumbling) Plate

- I've seen a few of these on the internet, and watched a few CZcams videos to see how others have made them. I was really excited to try this out, and happy with the results. Some fellow CZcamsrs have made this look really easy, but I found that some steps take a lot of trial and error to get it right.
In the end, I wish I had picked a lighter wood for the 3rd square, but in person there is a little more contrast than what you can see in pictures.
Inspired by M.C. Escher's works, this Tumbling plate measures 8" across, is made from Black Walnut, English Walnut and Cherry segments. It was finished with HUT's friction polish and buffed to a shine.
I hope you enjoy!

The man with the most clamps always wins!
I couldn't agree more!
I love Escher's work, great to see it in wood turning. A+
Thank you
You are very welcome, I should have also added you are extremely
talentedIn.
That plate is truly inspiring. Great work.
Thank you!
wow, the gluing process was quite intense. But that's what makes this such a compelling piece. Detail is so beautiful as is a repetitive pattern to the human eye. We love and admire both so you hit a home run with this one. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, and thanks for the great feedback!
Your style is very clean, easy to follow and your presentation is very professional. Beautiful Project. your choice of 3 different types of wood and the color makes it pop. Such a lovely finish, truly beautiful my friend. keep turning safely......
Thank you!
AWESOME JOB !! LOVE IT !!!
A beautiful piece of work. Well worth the effort.
Thank you! I'm dying to try a bowl now!
Very beautiful!! So fun to watch!
Thanks for watching!
I have no doubt that Escher would be pleased. Thank you for sharing your elxperience.
Thank you for watching!
A beautiful tribute to M.Escher. a great craftsman, and artist. too bad it is unaffordable. a great piece of work 👏👏
Thank you
Truly one of the most wondrous things I have ever watched being made!
Thank you! you make me want to make another one :)
There were a couple of times during glue-up where the clamps formed a good representation of a geometric shape known as a TetroHaagen-dazs. You made a beautiful plate. I’m not sure I’d have the patience to get thru glue-up. 👍
Really fine outcome, your cut method was laid out clearly, thanks!
Wow. Lots of work but what a beautiful piece.
Beautiful work! First time I ever saw cole jaws demonstrated on the Tube!
Thank you, and that's for watching!
Such a beautiful piece! I love the geometric design;even though I didn't see Q-Bert😎
It's a family channel, and he tended to have a bit of a potty mouth :) Thanks for watching!
A really nice plate and presentation, thank you . Nice to see what happens warts and all - should there be any, regards, Tony. (from uk)
Thank you!
Beautiful. I just purchased my first lathe, only turned a spindle. I know I've got a long way to go, many hours of practice but I'm looking forward to creating... Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching, and welcome to the obsession :)
You must be a golfer as well. Nice job, great looking bowl
Thanks! I used to golf, but wood turning took over all of that time (and money)
It truly tern out fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very impressive.Great job.
Thank you!
Very beautiful !
Thanks!
Enjoyed!!
Thumbs up as well
I really like your video how you cut your angles and at what angle would be nicer good job keep up the good work looking forward to the next video
I love this. I am also new lathe owner and have a long path to pursue to reach this level. One thing about this hobby is the stressful level of money needed for proper tools. For example how much money do you have just in clamps alone?
It's definitely an investment, better to build up over time. I started with some bargain tools and replaced at u was able. Thanks for watching!
Great work , It looks like the turning was the easy part all that cutting and glueing have you tried laying the blocks flat when clamping, only a thought.
The cutting/gluing was most definitely the hard part. Although, figuring out what shape to make it, so as to make the most out of the pattern was up there as well. Thanks for watching!
All the good stuff has been said and I sincerely agree. The only thing left is a bit critical. I wish you had provided some dimensions, although I realize you did point out the only critical dimension. Still it would have been nice to know what you started with. Also how many blocks did it take. I tried to make a count and came up with 14. Is that right? Last I would have preferred a voice description rather that the captions. If I watched the work I would miss the caption and have to back up to read. Oh, during assembly I would have started with a group of 3 blocks, not two. Clamping would have been much easier.
Thanks for watching and the feedback! I know I need to get a new Mic to do some voice overs (and I wouldn't mind a better 'radio' voice). To be honest, most of the measurements was trial and error... I picked the smaller boards as my first attempt, and the width was based on the 30 degree cut from that stock. So, once I cut the first part, I had to make the width of the next cut match the width of surface I just created with the first cut. Given the method I used to clamp, doing them in pairs made the most sense, however, I now have a nice set of strap clamps, that would definitely make that easier. Hope I answered all your questions, I've spent a lot of time in the shop lately, but it's been mostly production work, and I really need to get some new videos out of post-production and on CZcams...
what is the size and thickness of your bandsaw blade? TPI?
Sorry went back and relook at the video must have missed that part that part on what angles to cut them
sullamente hermoso gracias por la demostracion jorge de argentina
muchas gracias,
Nádherná práce
Děkuji
nice design by the way.
Thank you!
Excellent and very clever project and a lot of work thank you ✊✊✊✊✊ . If you don’t mind what angle did you cut them . Thank you
I believe these were 60 degree cuts (360 / 3 and then /2 for each side)
Thank you very much I will try this I love the look of your hard work
I assume that you figured out since then, that the best way to have combined those would have been to continue to make the circles. You started out with the three pieces and you held it together by rubber bands. Then you should’ve combine three of those which you could’ve held together, with hose clamps or bigger rubber bands and continued out until you had the final size.
oh sure... bring logic into it :) I definitely stumbled on the gluing, but I agree, this is the way to do it.
so, was this fresh wood you just "picked up" at the saw mill?
We're lucky here, the Sawmill near me also has a dried hardwood showroom, mostly local species. The owner used to make/repair pianos, so he's got some experience with wood :)
Thanks for the video, who are the musical artists? At 26 min.?
Thanks for watching! most of the music I use is from the CZcams studio (trying to make sure I don't include anything copyrighted). I didn't seem to write it down, sorry
Where did you find that circular center finder?
I picked it up at the Baltimore Woodworking show last year, but I believe Peachtree has them: www.ptreeusa.com/layout_center_finders.htm
Very nice peace have done plain peace my

at the beginning when u cut out the round from the band saw u could of made more then one plate
Beautiful, but i think you have removed to much material. You could had made it deeper.
Thank you! I agree, I burned through a lot of material, but I wanted to do a plate, since I thought it would show off the 3D effect better. in theory, I'm going to do a bowl too. Funny how I haven't gotten to that yet...
puh, this 3d-look is messing up my brain ;-)
Beautiful design and finish, but a tremendous amount of wasted timber.
agreed... this was my first one, I think future attempts will be a little more efficient
I was very much looking forward to learning from your video. However, I am partially blind and it is very hard for me to see what is going on at all times so I depend on the person explaining what is going on. Alas, it appears we have returned to the era of the silent films. Seriously folks, why can't people talk in their videos. Is your voice so disturbing that people are going to jump off bridges if they hear it. The music almost made want to do so.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this video.
@@MapleCrossingWoodworks It's not that I didn't enjoy it. I did, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it. I just wish you could have given at least some information about what you were doing whilst doing so.
Your makin me dizzy!
too much time, wood and electricity wasting, you can take china made plate less then 1 Dirham
Where's the fun in that?
Maple-Crossing Woodworks i am taking about your efforts dear. same things available in the market on very low cost. why you are doing lot of efforts on int
