Making a Goblet / a quick hollowing method

[gmall13579]

WHY IS THIS SO ENTERTAINING TO WATCH???

[hendu3270]

wow! makes it looks so easy. New to turning here and I've had two bowls catch already with none actually finished. Used spindle gouges but held flat on the rest, not turned up t]like this. Thanks for sharing.

@hendu3270 thanks,

Well, have you tried going straight with the spindle gouge, then turning the handle counterclockwise while moving the tool towards left? I think that also cuts it fairly well. The only problem is, you can't go deeper, because the tool will start to vibrate. Cheers jake

[hendu3270]

@paloarteinc I'm having a hard time visualizing the spindle gouge cutting if I rotate it counterclockwise. Wouldn't that just pull the cutting edge away from the wood? I need to look at it and turn the lathe by hand when I get home this evening and hopefully I'll get what you're saying. I definitely need more practice.

Out of interest, I know it is a personal choice, what bevel angles do you prefer on your spindle gouges? Keep the videos comeing, such a pleasure.

Cheers

Hey Mike,

I've couple of spindle gouges, and the one I'm using in here, I think it's around 35 degrees---that is the actual cutting edge, which is only 1/8 of an inch.

Sorry for the less video output in here :) Just been busy lately. Will shoot some works soon.

Cheers,

Jake

You make that so smooth. I'm having real trouble making a simple box, using mahogany. I'm not using much pressure or aggressive, yet it catches, I've had two pieces fly out if the chuck. I'm actually losing confidence using the gouge. Any suggestions?

[paloarteinc]

@RentaGho5t hello my friend, sorry it took too long to reply---i must have missed your comment. Well, the best way to learn this technique is by using a small, 2" by 2" by 3" rounded wooden blank, all safety shields, and trying on with a high speed lathe on. Lately I turn my pieces at extremely high speeds...but that can be dangerous if I lose control of the tool. Always be safe. And I hope by now you've made it work :) Cheers jake

@RentaGho5t The hollowing method here is Richard Raffan's "Back Hollowing" method -- not too hard once you understand how it works.

Catches happen for a few basic reasons. I suggest spending some time with a more experienced turner. You can also try chucking up a piece of wood, and having a friend turn the lathe by hand so you can see how the catch develops. If the cutting tools are presented carefully, and the chuck holds a properly shaped tenon, they should stay on the lathe.

it is called burnishing with the wood shavings

Thanks for watching my friend!

FOR ONCE I actually enjoyed listening to that musical acompanyment.

Thanks for sharing.

[paloarteinc]

@Dav123xyz

:) always my pleasure!

[TheCymruBoy]

Just to let you know I have finally managed your technique successfully....thanks for the inspiration.

[paloarteinc]

@TheCymruBoy

Wonderful! I'm sure you will explore more quick and clean cutting once you start using this method on other gouges. I'm now using a fingernail gouge (a 1/2" thick) to hollow out a bowl rapidly. It's similar to the technique I've used, as seen in this video.

Cheers,

Jake

[pieter13387]

Very nice work. I also enjoy the music along with it.

[paloarteinc]

@pieter13387 thanks my friend! i'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Tuna72255]

what method do you use to sharpen your gouges?

[paloarteinc]

@Tuna72255

I sharpen the gouges using Tormek grinder. The cutting edge on thee bevel is about 1/16" to 1/8" and the rest is eased.

Cheers,

Jake

very good beatyful

[paloarteinc]

@kilo10101

Thank you my friend!

[kilo10101]

very good

[TheCymruBoy]

I have tried on numerous occasions to hollow end grain, and have always ended up with a broken piece. I am new to turning, and am very envious of your skill. I will persist and one day....who knows. Great video, just like your others, thanks for shareing.

[paloarteinc]

@TheCymruBoy

Thanks my friend for the compliments.

The way I learnt this is, I tried on a small, 2" by 2" by 4" long blank. Trust me, I've ran into many nasty accidents while trying this technique. But after many tries, I finally got to understand how the tool cuts, and how much you need to turn it, in order not to get a catch.

Try it out on smaller, lighter pieces of wood. Then you'll notice how fast you make things on the lathe. And that's the real fun part :)

Cheers,

Jake

@paloarteinc

I will keep practiceing........and let you know when I succeed.

wow, awesome work!!

[paloarteinc]

@NyaahNatrix

i'm glad you like it :)



[JoeYoung100]

I think that being able to turn something as nice as that takes a great amount of skill. Very nice, and a nice choice of music :)

[paloarteinc]

@JoeYoung100

Thank you my friend!

I'm still learning woodturning, and it feels that possibilities are endless. :)

Cheers,

Lovely to have beautiful work done to beautiful music. Gave me a chance to concentrate on you technique of hollowing and rounding.

[paloarteinc]

@sundance66

Thank you my friend!

Jake

[bschwartzberg]

very nice. I wish I was at the point I could to it, but everytime I try this technique I get a horrible catch.

What's the music you have playing?

[paloarteinc]

@bschwartzberg Thanks my friend.

In the beginning I used to get a lot of nasty catch too. Then I started to practice on a short pieces -- in case they get off center, and begin to vibrate, the piece is less likely to fly off the chuck. After some practice I begun to feel how the tool cuts and also understand the right movements. Now, just before the tool is about to catch, I feel that something's wrong.

The music is by Beethoven, Piano Concerto #2, Adagio.
