Wood Turning a Cube
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2020
- I made a cube out of mahogany, and woodturned it into a 3 corner bowl on the lathe. Well, maybe more like a 3.5 corner bowl... This was my first project using a bowl gouge, and I feel like a beginner again. It's very satisfying when it works, and very frustrating when it doesn't. I have a lot to learn, and sharpening my tools is at the top of the list.
Big thanks to @WoodMakeover for letting me use his jointer and planer. Check out his woodworking vids: • Building an elegant la...

This was my first time using a bowl gouge, so my technique is pretty bad. I had trouble staying on the bevel, and sharpening properly. But man is it fun! Ironically my worst catch was with my carbide tool I've used a hundred times...
Cook Woodworks your technique is go
Thanks. It'll be fun trying to get better too
It turned out nice, there were some articles in back issues of AAW magazine in creative ways people fixed breaks and cracks so it became a decoration. Maybe even use a dremel to make the break look like teeth Mark's like someone took a bite out of it. It's interesting how one can tighten those jaws town and the wood still jumps out. Thanks for sharing.
I just reached 100 subscribers shoutout.
Cook Woodworks thanks for not editing the mistakes out. It’s cool to see some one try new things. I felt your pain when it came off the lathe
@Cook Woodworks, I live my secret woodturning urges vicariously through your videos. I also rattled off a full selection of obscenities when that wood went AWOL on you. I found myself curled up in nearly a fetal position in my office chair, barely tethered to my PC with my headphones cord.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and talent with us!
Thanks Douglas! Nice to know there's people out there empathizing with me haha. And give woodturning a try if you ever can, I promise it's as satisfying as it looks!
Great job! Love the tennis ball tip. Thank you.
Wow....
Very nice bowl....
Thanks for sharing....🙏
Thanks!
I felt sad when that bowl got broken at the last stage of the process. But you didn't loose hope and continued the process to produce a beautiful bowl . 👏👏
even a slight failure can still produce a wonderful result. It has become a beautiful (broken) bowl.
I love the bleeps when it flew off, been there too many times to count. Lol. Keep up the good work
Just want to say thank you!! Wonderful watching!
8:04 это фиаско, братан😉
Hey thank you for sharing. Don't worry about the bust corner. It looks very design. See you soon.
Thank you. I kind of like how it turned out, a neat little curve that I couldn't have done on purpose
I have a couple expensive bowl gouges and have not mastered them. I had similar mistakes he had. I like the way he saved the bowl. The damage always to happen during the finishing cuts.
WOW, very nice well done my friend...Plenty of talent here for sure
Rad video. Rad bowl. Rad shout out to me! Thanks Drew!!!
Great work despite ALL OF US "Bleeping" with you when the bowl flew off. But "BLEEP IT!" Fine craftsmanship...despite the bleeping you Bleeped out.
Just before 🔉🔉🔉, I was thinking 😮. Good to find the edge of the ✉.
You put in some awesome effort! Great work!
Thanks Shaun!
Your shop has the same sound track as mine when something jumps off the lathe!!!
I can't cover my words in editing though....
I think it still turned out to be a beauty. You should be proud and thank you for sharing. I am glad to see others out there that are like me.
Thanks Bill, you're very kind
@@CookWoodworks Really though you are a genius and an artist. Keep up the good videos.
0.28 Japanese safety boots. Oh! Love your work.
Lovely bowl!
Thanks Carol!
Amazing wood art💙✨
Looks great! I think the chip gives it character!
Thank you!
Excellent your job.
Nice work, love the idea of a three sided bowl with a bonus spoon rest :-)
Thanks John, I like spoon rest, maybe I'll tell people it was intentional haha
Beautiful
Hey, you got a bowl gouge! Nice! You’ll get the hang of it in no time
Finally I joined the club! Thanks for the encouragement, it's definitely going to take some practice
Espetacular parabéns, formões perfeitos. Boa tarde
CZcams sent me to watch your videos, this is awesome
Just came across your channel from a CZcams recommendation in an email they sent. Fascinating to watch.
Thanks for watching!
I’m a retired engineer and I now own a custom wood fabrication shop and I can completely relate with the frustration at having a great piece flip off and break. I thought he handed that well and he didn’t stomp on it (obviously not saying I’ve done anything like that... obviously...) Yes I might have destroyed a project that I had spent 60 plus hours on cause something went wrong and screwed something up. I blame it on being senile. If my grandsons hadn’t been there I am sure that sailor’s would have been offended. Great save on this gent’s part and I wasn’t disappointed by the design of the bowl. I was hoping (when my grandkids showed me the thumbnail) that he would do something like this.
All the best to you and yours!
Thanks for watching! I may have stomped on a project or two that’s gone wrong…
Buen trabajo. Esa rotura la hace Única,exclusiva !!!
wood and making amazing Nice work!
Que obra de arte !
Nice job I thought it would fly oss😂
That was amazing
Thanks!
Interesting Piece
I love it , I think everyone ducked and flinched when it flew off. I like to think it is now aone of a kind bowl that cannot be reproduced!
Haha at least it didn't hit the camera
Cook Woodworks would’ve been rad if it had though.
The tricot bowl came out beautiful, even with the one trip breaking on you.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome 😎
Thanks Donald!
nice trick with the tennis ball :) liked for it
Just a suggestion, next time, find the pieces that broke out and glue them back into the turning. It's just filling a few unexpected cracks. I had a bowl explode into 6 pieces, glued it back together and sold it. Just a few unplanned cracks was my statement.
I actually think the broken corner looks good. Creates contrast.
Looks like someone got some.new toys. I'm super impressed with the gouge work for it being you first time. It took me so long to figure out the bowl gouge.
Haha thanks man. There's definitely some less successful parts that didn't make the video haha. Every time I think I've got the hang of it I'm wrong and screw up, so I definitely have a ways to go. So fun though, thanks for that video you made that gave me the motivation to try them out
@@CookWoodworks no problem man. That's the type of direction I want to take my channel, not a straight up How-To but just take about the process as I go through it. Oh just wait until you get your hands on a skew. Catches with those things will pull your pucker string for sure lol.
CW, If you step back and listen to the noise the gouge and piece were making just before it came out of the chuck, you can definitely hear the change in tone. With experience, you will recognize the chatter and instinctively stop what you are doing to reevaluate. If you can remember what you were hearing and feeling at the moment before failure, you will drastically cut down on mistakes like this. Always remember that wood compresses, and the scroll chuck has to be tightened regularly.
8:04 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, laughing with respect
it still came out nice! they would have still been BEEPING me! i havent had nerve enough yet to try one of these!
Try it! It looks weirder than it actually is
Beautiful bowl. I’m going to have to try that technique.
Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to seeing your new postings.
Thanks Mike!
I like the catch, brown trouser moments let you know your still alive
Nice bowl! I especially liked that you didn't cut out the video where the bowl jumped off the lathe. It's nice to see honest accidents that do happen in real life. I've had many to explode, jump off, catch, etc, but we keep learning and keep trying. Good work!
Thanks! We’ve all done it, so I don’t see any point in hiding that I’m still learning haha
You have some nice equipment.
Thanks, having good tools definitely helps
Ух какой классный кубик получился
Nice video
Interesting to see that your detail of gluing up the stock and sawing the block had more detail than the actual turning.
Bhut khoob bhai
I'm 69 years old and I'm a beginner as well and like you I'm saving to buy a better lathe. Using a 4"X4" post I cut cubes and made tea lights. The 3 sides make great horns encasing the tea light or rising above the tea light. Have fun, that's what it's all about.
Wow I bet that those lights look cool. Thanks for watching John, have fun turning!
The jaws on the Nova G3 have no substantial holding power on a tenon. The dovetail is made for a recess. My advice is either get a different chuck with dovetail jaws for the tenon or use a dovetail recess on future projects. Good luck to you!!
Ooop's when that happens it really hurts not the fact that it did not hit you but the damage, I like it that you finished it any way well done 👍👍👍👍
Yeah it happens sometimes!
Wow that was close it’s a good thing you don’t get hurt but it looks beautiful
Thanks!

Good Video From Algeria
Very nice, I feel sorry for the explosion, I hope nobody was hurt.
Nice
Se te cascó una esquina .....pero vale.Muy bonito .
Enhorabuena
Nice👍
Thank you!
I always wanted to try this but it looks hard as hell it looks as hard as sculpting.Im currently making a wood star trek marquetry picture after finally making an effort to get into marquetry. It's hard but nothing compares to working with wood,its one of my favourite materials in the world and makes me feel closer to my relationship with the earth.
I’d like to see it when you finish!
@@TuttleDB il post it on my channel and let you know
We all been there nice recovery though👍
Thanks! I've been there maybe a little too much lately haha
Gonna have to get myself a tennis ball for my lathe next, I liked how easy that looked like it made cutting off the Tennon, great job on the bowl! ngl, the way it was turning at the beginning had me stressed, it kept looking like it was gonna fly off!
Haha it looked much sketchier than it actually was! Tennis ball works sometimes, but the problem is you have to tighten it way down to get traction
@@CookWoodworks Good to know, would be nice to have it as an option either way, makes me want to try one of these tri-corn bowls now though!
i jumped when it broke so thumbs up on the jumps scare
تحفة جميلة لكنك كسرت جزءا منها . good job
When turning to inside part of the bowl, It's best to turn from the center to the outside edges to avoid the catch that broke one of the corners. Turning from the outside to the inside, you are just asking for a corner to catch the tool...as you found out. However, doing it this will will make the outer edged prone to tear out. This is not an easy bowl to turn even for the most experienced turner.
You’re kidding! Just the other day I was thinking that it would be a good idea to make a video of turning a cube, but I was thinking of using a round piece of wood and making it INTO a cube...
Kind of the opposite of what you did.
Super awesome though, keep up the good work!
I have no idea how that would work, and I really want to see it hahaha. Let me know when you make it
Ne güzel oldu süperr 👍🥰🇹🇷
Much better, thanks.
wow.. braver than me!! not even a chuck. I think you got REALLY lucky.
Ficou muito bom o trabalho, pena que houve o incidente. De qualquer forma parabéns.
That’s pretty.
Thanks
The wood being shaved off of it lulled me almost to sleep and then i heard the falling of the wood and then “bleep. Bleep. Bleep-bleep” and then i opened my eyes very confused and rewinded
I wanna hear what u said without the beeps hahaha! Beautiful bowl brother thanks for sharing
I was telling the bowl how happy I was to have to fix some damage ;) Thanks for watching!
Hahaha in your Tourette’s voice 😂
Nice work! I just did a plywood cube for next weeks video. It is very unnerving knowing all of those points are spinning out there so close to fingers, knuckles and the sort! Sorry about the catch but, you know.... it happens. I thought your gouge work was good. I think a different angle on the grind might help maybe but all in all it worked just fine for ya. There is nothing better than a good sharp gouge for making shavings! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tip! I think you're right on the angle, I'm going to experiment a little there. I'll keep an eye out for that video of yours too!
Wow
Turn off the other corners to match the broken one. You will still get an interesting shape, and much more appealing than a broken one.
Hi Drew, I found you as I was looking for videos in making a 3 cornered bowl. Great shame it came off the lathe but a great bowl none the less. have subbed. Cheers, Huw
Thanks for watching and subscribing, have you tried making a 3 cornered one?
@@CookWoodworks Hi Drew, Not yet, but it is on my list of projects to try. Huw
Никогда не говори: «Я ошибся», лучше скажи: «Надо же, как интересно получилось!»
Just came across this video - Watching it , I was thinking your to aggressive removing material from the bowl , Boom catch , Happens to everyone but i like the response !!!
hello my friend. like new! video good!
Жалко. Без уголка не то. Но красиво. Лайк.
Beautiful! I am new to wood turning. Been using carbide chisels. Want to start using traditional chisels. The chisel you were using to shape the cube in the beginning, is that a spindle gauge or the bowl gauge? Just a pity for that little break when it fell!
I know I am not the only one hu was lyk Watt!!!!! When he placed the tennis ball on the machine😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is beautifull
Came here from the CZcams spotlight email congrats dude.. U got my subscription 👌🏻🔥
Cool thanks for watching!
More speed can be your friend when there are pieces like this where you are turning a lot of air. If you have a bandsaw and a spindle sander how about cutting 3 equal “scallops” out of the corners to remove the damage?
I always have trouble with winged bowls.
Glad I'm not the only one!
Not bad, not bad 👍 Now a lot of practice ahead of You and You will be advenced turner 😁 It is a pity You have lost this corner. I was having the same idea with tricornered bowl. Maybe I will glue some beechwood cubes together 🤔
Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing you try it, I'm sure it will look great with your skill
@@CookWoodworks I will use a pine and floor panel (?) so it will be a big unknown 😵 For now I have prepared 7 blanks for turning but don’t have possibility to turn any 😬
Nice work sir but did you try to fix it?
You were in the CZcams news letter email!
Haha I didn't even know until I saw some comments. Thanks for watching!
To make a bowl with n corners, begin with an n-gonal trapezohedron. A cube is a 3-gonal trapezohedron. A ten sided die is a 5-gonal trapezohedron. I don't know a method for constructing arbitrary trapezohedrons. It would likely involve sawing n sections off of a block of wood from a single point, each sawed plane being rotated 360 degrees/n about that point, followed by sawing off n sections from the opposite end off set from the initial cuts by 180 degrees/n, changing the off set would modify the shape of the corners of the bowl.
Perhaps I haven't thought this through properly but, after making the cube, if you had cut it diagonally into two pieces you could have made two bowls?
👍👍
The three winged bowl is not as easy to turn as it looks. I can’t tell you how many blanks I have screwed up trying to turn one of these bowls. And the to make things more difficult, I got one of my fingers whacked by one of the wings.
The air turned blue.
I will give it one more try by turning one off these bowls out of red cedar. It is a 6” x 6” x 6” blank and has some punky areas where the wood has been eaten away leaving worm type indentations.
Thanks for sharing your video. You got much further than I did when I tried turning one of these bowls.
Good luck with the next attempt!
Cook Woodworks
My next attempt ended up as kindling for my fireplace. I got the backside done OK. It’s when I turned the blank around and mounting in the Chuck is when the problems began. I used a 1/2” bowl gouge to start hollowing out and all I did was make big catches in the wood. One catch broke the dove tail tenon and made turning impossible. I will try to glue back together and complete the bowl....if possible. As the old song from the rock group QUEEN says “Another One Bites the Dust”.😩
