Woodturning Projects Natural Edge Bowl

[Hitomi3138]

HI!! i REALLY ENJOYES WATCHING THIS VIDEO. I'VE GOT A QUESTION...WE WANT TO MAKE A BOWL ABOUT 10 INCHES SO, IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT OR IS THERE ANY DANGER WHEN TURNING? ALSO, I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WERE YOU USING( THAT CAN YOU HAD ON THE LATHER) FOR CLEANING, POLISHING OR SANDIND DOWN THE WOOD. THANKS!

[haydenHD]

@Hitomi3138

Woodturning can be dangerous, so make sure your piece is secure on the lathe. I am using paste wax and mineral oil mixed together in the can.

Take care,

Carl

[Hitomi3138]

@haydenHD thank U very much!!



[Hendrix92TheUniverse]

super cute daughter you have there.

Love your videos, you're an inspiration to me.

[haydenHD]

@Hendrix92TheUniverse Thank you,

[hendu3270]

I know this is an older video, but I'm amazed that the hot glue will hold. I just got a mini lathe at Christmas and just picked up a 4-jaw chuck and ended up throwing a small piece I was trying to make a bowl out of across the roo m. Took every bit of confidence I had acquired making little odds and ends.

[TeamRealTreeBronco15]

Is it better to have thin walls or thick?

[haydenHD]

@TeamRealTreeBronco15 It depends on what you're going to do with the piece. If it's functional the walls should be thicker than a decorative piece.

[davzam1]

I advise you to remove your wedding ring when your working on spinning objects - avoid potential injury

[2spoons]

Always educational watching another wood turner!

You ever turn bowls a bit larger?

[haydenHD]

@2spoons I have turned a few but not recently.

[watch4david]

Very nice work.Dave

[haydenHD]

@watch4david Thank you Dave,

[Dav123xyz]

I see you are glueing even tho you are using a wood chuck!! Is glueing alwways reliable...?

[haydenHD]

@Dav123xyz I've never had one break on me.

[vteckiid]

do you use robert sorby chiseals

[haydenHD]

Yes a lot of my gouges are sorby.

[vteckiid]

@haydenHD same as myself :)

[atifhasan79]

[haydenHD]

Thank you,

[mariosam2]

hi great video , im a new in all this , so i have no idea, just asking what kind of wax you use, is there a special wax or what, thanx. Greatings from spain.

[haydenHD]

Thanks,

It's paste wax and mineral oil I mix it 10 parts wax and one part oil.

[beans4079]

Carl, did that bowl include the pith?

[haydenHD]

Yes it was.

[woodturning5522]

Hi carl im just getting in to woodturning i would be very greatfull if you could give me some tips on using the finger nail gauge have you turned any english wood before as we have some great wood over hear Thank Yoe Neil Vaughan

[haydenHD]

Yes, I have turned some english walnut and yew wood. I use my finger nail gouge for doing detail on pieces mostly.

Thanks,

Carl

[ffrillici79]

Hi Carl,

what kind of mixture do you use for sanding? Wax and mineral oil? And in what percentage? Thank you, I like your vids... They are source of inspiration

Francesco

[haydenHD]

Yes it's paste wax and mineral oil. I mix it 10 parts wax and one part mineral oil.

Carl

[robertskovalenko]

what the wood is it?

[haydenHD]

This is mesquite.

[god7654321]

Hi Carl

I've never turned wood before but since I discovered your videos you have inspiered me to get a lathe and attempt to make some of the beautiful piece's that you have made.

I think my favourites so far, and the first things i'm going to try are the key ring and the larger tea light candle holders.

Please keep posting videos and continue making beauitful piece's

Cheers from the UK

James

[haydenHD]

James,

Hope you are able to get a lathe soon. It is a great hobby, very relaxing and enjoyable.

Take care,

Carl

[carr869]

I really like that little bowl. I think thats something I might be able to do. Well I'mm gonna try at least.

Tom

[haydenHD]

Good luck Tom I'd like to see some pictures.

[omik68]

Greetings Mr Carl

Thanks for the sanding tip at the end, something I didn't think off when doing final sanding.

Jari

[haydenHD]

Thanks Jari,

[haydenHD]

You are welcome. :)

[jwolf2655]

Does your green wood turnings crack? I have been experimenting, and have it where it will warp a little but usually doesn't crack, would like it if not warp either!

[haydenHD]

Green wood will warp a little while it is drying. It is hard to stop it. Maybe turn it a little thick allow to dry and then finish.

Thanks,

Carl

[beachbums271]

really? just hot glue will hold things on like that?

[haydenHD]

Yes, I've never had a piece come apart on me.

[Wi11Pr3ston]

Very nice natural edge "bark bowl". I've tried using the waste block technique a few times but haven't had much luck. The piece just pops off no matter how light my cuts are. Do you know anything I could try?

[haydenHD]

Hi,

The jam chuck and the peace your working on need to be parallel. I have the same problem if there not parallel.

Thanks,

Carl

[1961dubbo]

G'day again Carl, many thanks for your concern regards flooding here, we have missed the worst of the devastation in our part of Aust, but Queensland has suffered great losses. Looking forward to seeing your scoop project on your site.

All God's best to you and you loved ones.

Acacia+ down under!

[1961dubbo]

G'day Carl, just wanted to say hi and thanks for all your vids on turning projects. It's great to see a comtepent turner produce A1 quality work with basic tools, although a very broad range & selection of chisels an gouges to choose from. Have you ever turned scoops on your lathe? They are great gift ideas and very useful items in the kitchen. Keep up the great work and videos. Blessings to you and your family from Acacia + in Corowa Australia.

[haydenHD]

Thank Acacia,

I will put a scoop on my project list. Hope all is well with you and your family and that the flooding has not affect you.

Take care,

Carl

[1postalpredator]

how do you insure that the bark stays on the wood.it seems that all the logs in my wood pile have lost there bark it just falls off when i pick up the log. any help would be great

thanks for the videos

[haydenHD]

Some wood is more likely to hold the bark. I read a article on ways to help I'll look for the magazine.

Thanks,

Carl

[jayrmaxx]

Great video Carl, I am trying to do the little natural edge bowl after seeing yours, we have Willow trees in our yard and thought about trying a limb from that,

[haydenHD]

Thanks love to see it when your done.

Carl

[dudec007]

@haydenHD ok thanks

[haydenHD]

Thanks,

Carl

[TheDecoyDude]

[haydenHD]

Thank you. Glad to hear you got a lathe for Christmas. What kind?

Carl

[mrtattoos100]

i learn something new every video i watch of yours Carl!

Thanks, Matt

[haydenHD]

Thanks Matt, glade I can help.

Carl

[nokobill]

A friend of mine gave me a piece of 5 inch diameter ash to work with. I turned it as you did, a natural edge bowl. For a base, I cut a slice about 1/2 inch thick with the bark on the outter edge and glued the bowl to it, adds a nice touch. You do great work and you have inspired me to get back into my shop and TURN!

[haydenHD]

Sounds like a great project, love to see some pictures.

Thanks,

Carl

[taltboy]

nice bit of work, happy new year

[haydenHD]

Thank you,

Carl

[baconsoda]

Thanks Carl. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Brendan.

[haydenHD]

Hi Brendan,

Did you dig out from the snow yet? Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family as well.

Carl

[baconsoda]

@haydenHD Snow...disappeared in 3 days and left a trail of destruction - frozen pipes, empty reservoirs and a huge headache for water services. Temperatures went from -2F to 50F in 4 days so it feels like Spring now. This is a mad place I live in.

Best Wishes, Brendan.

[haydenHD]

Hope it gets back to normal soon.

Happy New Year

Carl

[AaronSKuehn]

You don't need to thank us, Carl. We thank YOU! Your vids are practical and entertaining (especially when it's too cold for me to go turn in my own garage!) Thanks for all the work you put into this!

[haydenHD]

Thank you very much Aaron.

Carl

[DougFnDrake]

do you ever have any problems with leaving the pith in your projects? 

[haydenHD]

Yes, depending on the type of wood. Some of them will spit or I had a cherry bowl bowed out after a few months, but it didn't split.

Thanks,

Carl

[DougFnDrake]

@haydenHD just wondering, i was turning a small walnut bowl with pith in it, it ended up breaking before i finished, but i was curious what the outcome would have been. thanks for the info

[findingusernamesux11]

Looks like a really nice little bowl!

Happy new year!

/Nic.

[haydenHD]

Thanks Nic.

Happy New Year!

Carl

[woodturningjohn]

Great Santa and Daughter photo, thanks for another great show. I have a branch about that size I got out of my late grandfathers shop and have been waiting for a good idea for it, will give the bowl a try and thanks for the heads up about the sanding because I would have lost a figure tip on that one :). I have learned a lot from you, Happy New Years to you and your family.

John

[haydenHD]

Thanks John. Would love to see some pictures when you have your bowl complete. I am still hanging on to some wood I got from my grandfather too.

Happy New Year!

Carl

[woodturningjohn]

@haydenHD

Hey Carl, need to figure out how to get pictures on my page for you to see, have not worked everything out with my camera yet. I have only been turning for about 6 months, and my little bowl looks a lot like yours but in several pieces now. I got part of the wall too thin and it blew apart. But that is okay this to is a learning tool.

[scoobydog411]

Hi carl. Isnt that some hard wood?

[haydenHD]

Hi Gary,

Thanks again for the wood and yes it is some hard wood. Did you get your package yet?

Carl

[TheFishingschool]

-cody

[haydenHD]

Hi Cody,

Bummer that "Santa" didn't bring it, but hope you can get one soon. Look forward to seeing some more videos.

Carl
