I have a space where this would fit perfectly in my dining room - you've transformed that oak into something beyond a beaut
Thanks so much 😀
This project went a lot smoother than I thought it would :)
Almost get Star Wars vibes from this. 😊
That is no moon 🌒
I was thinking "DeathStar"!
@@jsprankel4712 ha I know, I think I'll add it to my list of things to make 😀
@@MikeHolton I came to the comments for this quote!
Very nice! I could see something like that sitting on a CEO's desk in his/her office. Good job, sir!
Thanks my friend 😀
I love the fact that you are experimenting with different techniques . The ebonizing is very interesting
Thanks Teresa, it's amazing how it works 😃
Interesting - you come up with the most adventurous projects.
Thanks Cecilia 😃
Very well done. I like the shape of the hole, it adds a lot to the piece. The oak was dry and not easy to turn. I was expecting to see gloves due to the heat of the shavings. Happy that this project stayed on the lathe throughout.
I do not like to hollow. This method is cheating to some, but I think it is far easier and faster than hollowing. A benefit of this method is that the inside of the hollow form is smooth compared to the rough surface of hollowing tools and the inability to sand the inside.
There are members in my local club who would not think twice about hollowing this shape and would do a terrific job.
Glad you were able to use the shear scraper. I have made several for club members and they all are now converts. One said he has saved hours of sanding out tool marks. As you observed, the tool gives a smoother surface than traditional scraper.
Dave.
I hate hollowing, I'm bad at it and have no real patience to do it properly, although I will be going a proper one soon as I need to confront my weaknesses and make them go away :)
The scraper was perfect, I did not realise how good it was until I touched the surface after using it. Thanks again , it's a game changer.
I know it's cheating to some but there area lot of turners out there that can't afford the tools required so I thought I would offer them a solution.
Thanks as always.
Mike
Mike u blow my mind with the things Ur brain comes up with how long have you been woodturning
Thanks David, about 3 1/2 years now
Nice work Mike, love the Milliput band and who doesn't like some ebonised oak!! Cheers!
Thanks mate! The ebonising on this one happened a lot faster than usual!
What a beautiful piece of art, Mike! Thank you for sharing your very creative idea. 😊
Thank you so much Mary 😀
So helpful for those new to the craft. Thank you.
You are so welcome Rachel 😊
I love that bowl!
Thanks Julie 😀
You continue to give me ideas to try. Love your prentations.
Thank you Jim! 😊
Your creativity blows me away! Cheers!
Wow, thank you Susannah 😃
I didn’t think I was gonna like that color but after you got through polishing it and everything I was wrong turn out very pretty. I would think you could do that with just about any two identical shapes. But the ball would make a cute flower vase. Thank you for sharing. Oh, and I do like the way you covered up the seam. Looks good.
Thanks Lynda, this one was fun and easy to make 😄
That is a great piece of art.
One that I would add to my collection in a heartbeat.
You have an exceptional talent and imagination.
Thank you so much 😀
The inlay is a great idea , nice piece👏
Thank you very much!
great idea for hollowing I like the idea with the milliput too
Thanks Colin :) You should give it a go.
Ingenious idea if you haven’t got expensive hollowing tools. Love the finish
Thanks Stephen and thanks for watching.
Nice piece. I'd make the walls a LOT thinner: ±1/4 to 3/16". This still gives you enough thickness for final shaping and a significantly lighter form. I use brass inlay frequently by adding it to the depression and gluing in place with CS a bit at a time. More impressive than imbedding it in another media (Milliput). Also consider using a rotary wire brush to remove some of the secondary growth (softer rings) before adding the guilders paste. It will give a deeper color and make the grain stand out more.
Hi, firstly many thanks for the very useful tips and ideas, I will certainly be exploring these with future works. In what form is the brass you use to inlay, and I presume you meant CA glue? Love the tip for the wire brush, I usually do this when burning the surface of pieces, never thought of doing it on normal wood. Thanks again, Mike
I own a vintage Shop-Smith, which one of its functions is a lathe you are inspiring me to pick up the tools and give it a go sir!
That is awesome, let me know how you get on 😀
Another beautiful job. Nice design.
Thanks Earnest 😀
If you had a piece thick enough to part off in half, the grain would match up much better when reassembled. I like this project very much. (An afterthought).
Yes of course but I wanted to show this method as a lot of people only have access to the standard 2" deep blanks, all the best, Mike
Very effective and clever
Thanks Mark, tough but worth it 😃
Great looking piece.
Thanks so much 😀
Great hollow form😊
Thanks Tim, it's a cheat but it works great 😁
Nicely done,Sir.
Thank you kindly
Its a very beautiful piece 🙂
Thanks Philippa 😃
That is a great idea and result.
Many thanks :)
really good idea and looks great!
Thanks for the compliment 😌. Appreciate your support.
Cool idea
Thanks 🙏
Looks awesome!
Thanks my friend :)
Hi Mike, that ebonising liquid is really effective, with the gold it is quite a stunning piece
Thanks Steve, I make it up myself, it's an old ink recipe from 200 years ago, won't fade in the sun.
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Thanks John and thanks for your support :)
❤very nice ❤
Thanks 🤗
that ebonizing fluid is amazing! so quick to work and what a finish! love it as always
Thanks Dee, worked so quickly on this piece usually takes a bit longer 😃
Smart idea, well explained, good video - looking forward to watching more 😃
Many thanks 🙂, really appreciate your support.
Really cool idea with the inlay, love the ebonising effect with the gold polish as well! 🤌
Thanks Alex, I'm pleased with the way it came out.
So much to like about this video. I really like the short cut method. The scraper did a great job. Saves on sanding, which everyone appreciates. And of course the ebonizing fluid. Amazing piece!
Thanks Ted 😊, I had great fun making this one. Really simple to do, going to try again with two different varieties of wood.
@MikeHolton, I'm not sure if you have gotten around to doing this again yet, with different woods, in a later video, but looking forward to when you do 🙂
Hi Mike, silly question, maybe, why use isopropyl instead of just a barely damp cloth ? Is it just the evaporation speed? Tia. Loverly bowl by the way might well be the way forward! 😁
Hi Terrie, water evaporates very slowly and raises the grain more than IPA, hope this answers your question, all the best, Mike
Very creative, Mike, isn't it great when it all goes to plan?! A question, if I may - do you need to cut the Milliput with a carbide tool? I hadn't thought of making ebonising fluid; - time for an internet search for alchemy. The finish was an inspired choice, and the final bowl is just stunning. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Hi David, thanks and yes it's great when things go to plan (it's so rare). You can cut Milliput easily with any tool, no need to use carbide. I got my recipe from this link czcams.com/video/Par5VWd-Yao/video.html, the fluid is basically an ancient recipe for ink. Thanks again for your support, all the best, Mike
Stunning job! I really liked the finished look of this piece!
Thank you so much William 😀
Very extraordinary piece, thank you for sharing! What is that milliput exactly? We don't have it over here. Seems to be a 2k epo xy dough.
Could you please match your voice with the tool noises? I'm constantly changing between loud for voice and turning down the tool parts. Thanks
Hi Kerstin, yes it's a 2 part epoxy putty. When it cures it goes rock hard. I'll see what I can do about the audio levels. Really appreciate your support and feedback 👍🙂
Love this piece Mike.
The finish looks silky. (Very technical term 🤭)
Did you end up making a lid? Would love to see if you did.
Nothing WRONG with this! 😠
Haha thanks for the normal post 😁, no lid I'm afraid. Last time I saw this it was on top of the fridge in the garage 🤣
@@MikeHolton I'm going to get a complex just now, thinking I'm abnormal 🤪
@@fionacrouch1732 Haha just be yourself, I'm sure I can cope 🤪🤣
@@MikeHolton thank you I will do 😋
very nice, what you going to put in it?
Thanks, not sure yet what I'll put in it but I may make it a lid.
WRONG you start with one solid piece cut the tendons both end, turn the shape THEN PART the piece in the middle this will reduce the cut line.👎👎👎👎
WRONG? That only works if you have a piece thick enough to make it, if you don't, you use this method.
There can be no wrong with Art. There’s just different ways of expression and method.
