Always watch this one when I start coring. It was this video that made me buy the Oneway. No matter how customer unfriendly they are they make the best.
Can't beat most of their products, thanks
You are great teacher if someone said something that this is boring then thy don't wont to work. You just put in a good days work. That makes you a great Teacher.
Thanks again!
I love seeing the whole process. I appreciate the time you take to make these videos, they're not too long and especially not boring!
Thanks Lili, I’m shooting a processing video now for Friday. Jim
Yes, this is really cool! I love how you address as many pieces of the business and behind-the-scenes work as you can think of so that anyone can jump in and start doing this stuff too! I'll bet that's one of the reasons most of your viewers are also subscribers. The other being the reminder in each video, that's good that you do it, though it could get a little annoying. But it also means that every viewer is getting that extra reminder to subscribe, in case they hadn't decided to you.
If course that's how you core a tree 🤦♀️ thank you for showing, I had a completely different idea that only works in dream land and with magic 😅 learn something new every day! Thank you 🥰
Thanks 😊
Thanks, Jim! I really appreciate the effort you put in, explaining the steps to us. With the videos, the great thing is that we can go over them, repeatedly, to clarify matters. So, doubly thank you!
Great! Thanks for watching!
I know this is 2 years old video but I can spend my evening watching these video’s. Better entertainment to me than anything on tv unless I get lucky and can catch a Bruins hockey game down here in Virginia. I really enjoy all your video’s I’m from New England, actually Northern Maine up in Houlton on the boarder with New Brunswick and half my relatives are Canadian so feel I deserve dual citizenship hahaha. My Dad’s father came over from Canada and ran a saw mill but he passed long before I was born. May dad had a wood workshop so I was always around his projects but he never turned. I’ve never turned either but now after watching your videos I really want to learn and will likely pick up a MIDI lathe to get started. I don’t know I’ll ever get to be good at it but seems like it would be a fun hobby. I may record my whole journey from unpacking to equipment purchasing and how I do and grow in time. If I do I’ll be sure to mention your channel as my inspiration. Please keep making these keep talking and explaining tips and techniques. Thank you Jim!
Thank you very much! We actually plan on moving back to NB in the spring of 24 to the Fredericton area. We’ve been to Houlton many times in my younger years. Keep me posted on your journey. Jim
Awesome Fredericton NB is where my Grandfather came from. Still have a lot of relatives in that area. I live and work now in Virginia but would like someday to head back to Maine. I hope when you move you keep turning and making videos. I’m looking for a lathe surprisingly few used ones that are not mini. I think I’d like to get a midi I can expand to begin with although a bit pricey I may just buy a new Record Power Herald. I know a bit much for someone with zero experience but seems like the best for growth over time and all reviews are outstanding, and less money than a full size General. I’m afraid is I start off too small I can’t do bowls and I’m not interested in pens or spindles. If you have any advice let me know thanks.
@@haidergildred2621 look for a good used one on Craigs list. No less than 12” inboard and if you can find one that you can do outboard turning, that would be ideal. Oneway, powermatic, robust and General all make good lathes. A Record would do just fine too. I will keep my channel going in NB too. Jim
I’ll checkout Craig’s forgot about them was looking other places. Thanks and much appreciated. FYI… my name is actually Terrence or Terry but I was born on Jan 6th (little Christmas) so everyone on my moms side and siblings call me Nick after st. Nick and on dads side everyone calls me Terry. Haider is a name given me by friends in the Middle East and near east because they thought I looked like a Lion and that is what Haider means in Arabic so I just use it on social media lol. Most everyone calls me Nick though. 😅
Not boring at all . I love Walnut and can watch this all day long.....Thank You.
Thanks 🙏
Certainly not boring! There is something very relaxing about watching you create a new bowl and the walnut is stunning! Thank you for sharing, I’m having fun learning what goes into making bowls. You do a great job explaining everything.
Great, thanks 🙏
I just bought my first lathe. I purchased a Grizzly 16x46. I really enjoy your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
I really appreciate seeing how involved it is! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done turned hundreds of bowls for years basically the same way, got away from it somewhat to the artsy side of tuning but you inspire me to go back at it as I enjoy the process and honestly have scores of bowl turning blanks taking up space for years that need a home.
Thanks again!
@@SpragueWoodturning My new neighbor to the north.
I only started watching turning videos fairly recently, but the one thought I kept having was a lot of beautiful wood was being turned into sawdust. I had the idea that more than one bowl could come out of a chunk of wood. Glad to see that a system exists.
It’s sure does and I just did an update on the system that was used in this video, Jim.
I like this coring tools better saves the middle part of the wood than just turning and 'dredging' it which is such a waste. Good job Sir 👏👏👏
Thanks 🙏
Really enjoy watching these instructional videos. Very helpful as a beginner turner. Don't worry about repeating anything from previous videos. It's good to hear things over and over. That wood is just amazing. Your burn pile is better than anything I have. Really appreciate your efforts making these videos.
Thank you very much
Not boring at all! Very informative and interesting.
Thanks Andrew
Love, love, LOVE!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Jim, you are never boring! You’re a born teacher. I follow Cam Anderson from Blacktail and Thomas Johnson d
Thanks 😊
Not boring at all brother! Actually exactly what I am looking for. Just got my Oneway system and trying to learn all I can! Thanks for sharing!
Do yourself a favor and get the Korpro Cutter from Hunter Tool Systems. The carbide cutters that come with the system are junk! Don’t forget to use my code inlayjim for your discount. Thanks
@Sprague Woodturning Awesome I plan on doing that!
This is my FIRST TIME 👀 seeing this VLOG. I have alot of new learning. THANK YOU. My FATHER worked with WOOD as a HOBBY. He was VERY TALENTED. He wood carved. Made furniture. KITCHEN cabinets and counter. ETC.. I am so GLAD NO MUSIC. GOD BLESS YOU. CHOW
Great! Thanks Evalina.
Jim fantastic I get my oneway coring system tomorrow. Thank you for showing adding a tenon on an inner core bowl. I have about 30 linear ft of black walnut ready for coring. Thanks keep up the videos.
Awesome! You won’t be disappointed, Jim.
Watching you work is always a pleasure and excellent learning experience, plus it’s all I can do till my replacement lathe comes in. I LOVE walnut, my favorite wood by far. Coring would be a great a very valuable addition for the future as I gain more experience and graduate to a full-size lathe, currently on a midi. Just don’t tell my wife I plan to invest even MORE $$ on equipment in the future! 👀
Tex
Your secret is safe with me 😜😜. Walnut is king in theses parts! Thanks
You are the man. Keep it coming
Thanks Scott, I really appreciate it.
I have been turning wood for over 25 years and I love turning black walnut
It’s my #1, thanks
This is my first visit and I am so impressed with the clarity of your explanations and am blown away by your talent. No apology needed for the length - I am captivated. Ray from the U.K.
Awesome, thanks Ray!
I agree, no need to apologize for the length of the video. Bill from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Bill Thomas Thanks Bill!
There is so much work in creating a masterpiece and you have shown us just the very beginning of the journey for that one piece of wood. You are very talented!
One note on the smallest bowl/plate… I have these all over my home in different mediums. I put rose quartz, amber, jade, amethyst, boulder opal, and many other stones that I have collected over the years, inside these small bowls/plates.
So don’t throw them away, they are of value to some people. LOL
Thank you! Cheers!
ANOTHER WELL DONE AND AWESOME JOB OF WOOD TURNING OF BEAUTIFUL BOWLS TO BE AND I KNOW THEY WILL BE SO KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC JOB AND TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE GOD BLESS YOU YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS A I HOPE YOU YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE A AWESOME LABOR DAY WEEKEND TILL NEXT TIME MY FRIEND
Same to you! Thanks 🙏
Was not boring. Thanks for the breakdown
Great, thanks 🙏🏻
That's pretty darned cool! I've never seen anything like this, thank you for sharing it with us!
Your welcome 🙏
I love the wood. Beautiful bowls. Another masterpiece
Thanks 😊
Interesting, informative and efficient use of resources. Thank you for sharing
Your welcome 🙏
OMG .... What a spectacular beauty this bowl is.
Thanks Merry!
Thank you for making this video!
It was really good to see how you approach the process.
Thanks Dan!
Nice to see someone that knows how to sharpen a chain. Can't cut that straight with tooth angles outta whack. Double props if you are freehand filing.
Thank you very much!
I don’t turn but I love watching you talented people,it is mesmerising and I love seeing an item like a bowl or whatever come off the lathe..I am shocked that your the first I have seen do this.You utilise more of the real wood than others and get more out of it as a reward ,to think in most cases you get three bowls others get one and loads of shavings ..I take my hat off to you as you get the most out of your love of working with wood as well as saving on the amount of wood you use 😀
Thank you, your too kind. I like to get the most out of expensive logs, Jim.
Not boring at all, I found it very informative. Thanks for sharing
Great, thanks.
Not too long or too detailed. I could watch you do 100 bowls! I'm so fascinated with wood turning and would LOVE a coring set up! Awesome video!!
Awesome, thanks 🙏
My, what a TON of work! Thanks for showing us the process.
Thanks for watching
That is the coolest thing I've seen turning. Oneway is an amazing company!
Agreed, thanks 🙏
You are a great teacher. Love your bowls.
Wow, thanks 🙏
Thanks Mr.Sprague for your advice, makes since to measure from the chuck . I will try that, I have turned since 2013 and cored a few bowls , I have the two smaller sizes one way. Thanks again Richard Hoxie
No problem Richard
Not boring at all. Very interesting. Gorgeous walnut. Great work!! Cheers, Paige C.
Thanks 🙏
Very interesting. That's a lot of bowls. Impressive
Thanks 🙏
This was amazing and so informative!! Thanks so much for taking the time to share!!
David Guillen Thanks David!
That was fun to watch, and amazing how many bowls you get out of one log. A true pro at work is outstanding to see. Thanks for sharing this post and your channel. It's fantastic to see start to finish with your art work. Again, thanks for the info. Stay safe and keep on turning.🌿 🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Excellent job as always!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info on coring. Seems to be worth the time and investment.
It totally is! Thanks!
Jim your videos are just great. I was very inspired by this one. I attacked a cherry log this weekend and got six 14" bowl blanks roughed out and sealed. It's really nice to get a view into the shop (and mindset) of a production turner.
Good stuff, thanks 🙏
A nice vid - every question I had was answered. 👍 Thanks for doing it🙏 Stay safe. -Mike👴
Awesome, thanks 🙏
Nice work. The grain is amazing
Walnut is king! Thanks for watching
Thank you very much for giving me the meaning ac. I love your work and explications. Great channel.
Awesome, thanks 🙏
First class videos with tons of need to know info.
You are too kind, thank you!
I too really enjoyed this video, great job.
Awesome thanks 🙏
I liked how you thought of other uses for the walnut you couldn’t use for bowls, so not too much went to waste. Walnuts pretty pricey where I am, but it’s one of my most favourite woods. Enjoyed watching the process from tree trunk to bowl & those shavings, beautiful ribbons! 🇦🇺
Thank you Lisa!
Loved every minute of the video. It must be so nice to work with such beautiful wood. Thanks for explaining and sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Recently found your site. Learning so much from watching you. I am recently retired from my “real job” and want to pursue my woodworking hobby and make a little income from it. Can’t wait to see your kiln system. I really appreciate what you do and the Natural beauty you bring out in the wood. Awesome stuff. Be safe!
Video coming soon, thanks.
I love your bandsaw & lathe. They are monsters!
They get the job done, that’s for sure. Thanks
I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks 😊
Love seeing your work.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoyed this! My first time visiting your site! I love the fact that you use every part of the log!
I always try too, thanks.
Wonderful, pleasant to watch! !!! Great work.!!!! No wastage!!!!
Final product will surely b a marvel!!!!!!!Thnks for sharing.
Thanks!
That coring tool is cool, thanks for the demo
My pleasure, thanks 🙏
This is super cool to watch
Thanks Jessica.
Well done .... the best person I've ever seen. You didn't use much wood.
An excellent idea to use curved knives 👏👏👏🌹
Thanks 😊
it was super cool to see you cut the logs in this vid... and neat to see the back scenes 💜
Thanks 🙏
I've been turning for a little more than a year now and I love it! Thanks for all the videos. I've watched them all... 'ish. When I get an alert you've posted a new video I get excited to see it. I'm on a little bench top lathe in my basement but my goal is to have a shop and a big lathe. When I get that I'll post a video that maybe you can sit back and watch sometime. 👍👍
Sound great! Thanks for watching!
thanks for empowering me
It's my pleasure! Thank you very much!
no need to apologize, you didn't bore me at all. The pace was perfect, and ty for no damned music.
Lol, thanks 🙏
I really enjoyed watchin how you get started working with the wonderful bowls you make. Thanks so much. Take care & God Bless!!!
Thanks 🙏
That was amazing, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome Tony, be sure to check out my other processing videos too, Jim.
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Many thanks 🇬🇧
Thanks!
a wealth of knowledge , just keep learning ,
Great, we all learn something everyday, thanks 🙏🏻
That is a very good explanation of of coring on a natural edge bowl... Thanks!!!
Thanks Randy!
You are an amazing woodworker! Thank you for your turning demo. Best wishes
Awesome thanks 🙏
Great info. Look forward to the vid on storage and drying times .
Thanks again!
So generous with sharing your knowledge........respect to you sir
Thank you Phil!
Very cool! I’m totally going to steal your tenon jig idea 👍🏼!
Awesome, steal away, lol.
Jim this was a very interesting video and the information on what you are doing and how you do is really helpfully. Thank you very much Jim x
Thanks again!
Awesome video man keep the videos long it’s great. Thanks man!
Thanks Michael!
Super interesting video. Smart idea not to throw away all the insides of the bowls but to cut it out and make more bowls from them. Economically seen this is clever.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks 🙏
Walnut is beautiful wood, and bowl saver is very useful,👍👍
Yes, it sure is!
Boring? Are you kidding? Just getting a very good turning education from you. We beginners need to get such detailed videos. Thank you so much.
Great! Thanks 🙏
Loved the video
Thanks 🙏
Not boring at all,new viewer
I enjoyed everything. From FL where it's hot as blaze's
It’s finally starting to cool down here, this summer been the hottest I can remember since living here, but it’s no Florida tho, lol.
Some great info in this video, thanks for sharing. When I have a log that I know will be turned into blanks like you have done here, I use my Bandsaw Mill. I start with a skim cut just below the bark for Lathe mounting like you did with the Spade Bit so the spur drive or tailstock centre has decent wood to bite into. Then I work out the thickness of blanks, most of time I'm pretty much cutting the log through just above the pith. Before I make any cuts though, I position the log (seeing as they are tapered) so the pith is the same level from end to end, so when cutting that section out I'm more likely to get all of it through the log, doesn't always work, esp. if the log isn't dead straight. Then I'll buck those to length, like you, usually the length is determine by the width of the log. And like you, I try to not use pieces with cracks, as you mentioned, they can be dangerous. As I don't have a Bandsaw big enough for cutting blanks round, I'm looking at making a set of triangle jigs that fit into the tracks of the Mill, where I can mount the blank between centre's, with a locking pin or some way of locking the blank so it doesn't spin, and cutting off the edges to make it round using the Mill.
This method is easier on the body, that’s for sure, thanks for sharing, Jim
Love to see you not wasting any of the vertical grain from the center Pith cut outs. I did something similar with Silver Birch and got a lot of great wood for spoons/ladles and butter knifes! Waste not want not! :)
You got it, thanks 🙏
Jim this was very interesting and enjoyable, keep up the good work......researching wood lathes now. Thanks!
Great! Thanks Brad.
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks 🙏
It's a very interesting video to watch, I have only just started to become interested in Turning so your video is my first on the subject and was incredibly informative, Thanks for taking the time to make it, Cheers from Garry in Australia
Awesome, thanks Garry.
Love your video thanks for sharing great info. stay safe .
Thanks 🙏
Great Job on coring that tree! You made it look easy!
Thanks 🙏
So cool. two bowls instead of just one, which is what I was expecting to happen.
Two for one deal! Thanks
I bought 20 acres in North Eastern Kansas a few years ago and had no clue what some species of trees were worth so I counted and measured just the walnut trees on the front 9 acres and I have well had 57 walnut trees now 56 cause I cut one down and slabbed it with my chainsaw, most of them are pretty good size but I have a few that were really big, the biggest one has a diameter of 41 inches. I think im gonna cut it down soon so it can start drying out. I have lots of pin oak white oak shagbark hickory and red oak also. Anyway those bowls are beautiful, If I got a lathe I would have to hide it in the woods cause my wife thinks I'm just a workhorse and wants me to make everything for her and she has zero patience and im not retired!
Haha, get a lathe, she will eventually run out of room to display things and then will let you sell some! Thanks
Good morning Mr Sprague. As always a great video filled with clear and instructive info. Your videos are never boring so please make them as long as you wish. This one was not too long. However i did miss seeing CANADA in your video title. Have done research on the 3 available coring systems. For my needs, the One Way system seems to be a good fit and i just ordered it. Thank you for demonstrating coring and your entire process of wood turning. You are a wealth of information sir. And YES i am a subscriber. Greetings from rural upstate New York USA. Be well my friend. Blessings. Namaste. 👌👍💖
You should like the Oneway system very much. I changed the intro up a little because it looked a little too much like a PowerPoint presentation, lol. Thanks for subscribing and I’ve got a couple of awesome inlay vids coming up, peace ✌️
Very informative, thanks
Thanks for watching!
more than incredable
Thanks Hagen!
Love the fact you're coring these!! I've only seen one other turner on CZcams that cores wood. You have a new follower just for that to start with LOL
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Awesome! Thanks.
@@SpragueWoodturning You're welcome
Thank you! Good instruction
Thanks 🙏
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Jean!
Good work !!!keep it up
Thanks 🙏
Great Video lots of information
Awesome, thanks.
