Kennett B TurnedIn this video I rough out a red maple bowl with ambrosias beetle damage and I tried, for the first time, boiling the bowl for 1 hour. According to everything I’ve heard it is supposed to release the tension in the bowl and let it dry with minimal deformation and cracking. Time will tell. I also went through my weekly weigh in of my green turned bowls and my system for keeping track of when they are ready to go back on the lathe for finishing. Thanks for watching.

I apologize for my lack of... well being around. I am going to try and fix that in the coming months. I have purchased a new editing software and found the video of an old bowl I turned with a different camera that I couldn't edit with my previous software. There is no introduction, no voice over and no stills (the bowl is long gone). I really just wanted to see how the software worked and start getting used to it. Let me know what you think of the outcome and we will see if I can get another going soon!
PS. I do owe a few folks pens from my previous video... Those folks have been drawn and will be announced at some point (when I learn how to use the software better ;)). Hope everyone has a great day.

I now hove and awesome new tool! Stick around to the end for a bonus project! 🙂.

The brainstorm for it began when a good friend provided a large stock pot for me to boil bowls. She asked for a utensil holder for her kitchen counter. Initially we thought about one piece of wood, then I thought segmenting would be fun 🤣 so that’s the direction we went. The best part about it is the learning that went on through the process. I learned a whole lot, and A LOT of my ideas didn’t work! But in the end YouTube and plenty of time watching and learning prevailed. The papa, Square Peg Tommy and Oliver Gomis probably inadvertently and unknowingly saved this project with the amazing projects they share on an almost weekly basis 😳. Thanks guys!

In one of my trips to the wood shed I found four pieces of firewood that looked interesting. They had been in my shed since last year and all the wood around them had been burning without sizzle so I figured they were dry enough. The four pieces were black locust, white ash, black walnut and a piece of red maple. Please let me know what you think of my Frankenstein! Hope everyone is well and staying home.... and sane!

As with all of the current events it has been a project of changes! Poor decisions in the roughing process, led to poor calculations in the finishing process. Impatience played a large role as well which led to not realizing the reality of a loosing battle sooner to save something closer to the original vision. In any event, I have had a conversation with Jen @Jen’s Woodworking & Things. She has agreed to take the project off my hands and attempt a resurrection! Go check Jen’s channel out and stay tuned when the world returns to some kind of normalcy to see what she has in store!

In the last couple days I have spent upwards of 12 hrs in the shop roughing bowls, turning pens this stopper and prepping projects. That said I’m going to make every effort to put out new videos as frequently as practical as I’m sure many folks are stuck as well!
This project was something I’ve been wanting to try for quite some time. I had a failed attempt a month or so ago on a pen which got me to looking around YouTube. About that time Huw Davies put out a video of how he makes his pens. After a successful pair of pen attempts I decided to tackle a stopper on camera. This is a piece of African Blackwood with ash veneer. It’s turned on a mandrel I received from PSI in a Niles stopper kit. The stopper part I chose is a Niles bottle stopper BR-9000. nilesbottlestoppers.com/product/br-9000
It’s not perfect and wish the knot was more circular instead of triangular but for the first try in larger stock I’m happy. Check out Huw’s channel @Wooden-It-Be-Nice youtube.com/channel/UCEhdXLwwzK979Zdwuj3x6gA And his Celtic knot bog oak pen: youtu.be/rgGE_GTXWd4

This time around I took my resin over pour that I finished pouring with our Walnut lava (River) platter and turned a dragon egg and a stand. This is only my second egg shape turned and the first one from a non wood medium. I’m quite happy with the outcome although I think I could have taken a bit more care with the friction polish but is still shines! Please enjoy the video and please everyone BE SAFE in these troubling times.

My wife and I are donating the final product to a silent auction for a local non-profit. After completing the casting and editing out that portion of the video I decided the project needed to be split into two parts due to length. Due to the nature of the project much more of the casting is real time mainly for the description of what is happening. The actual turning of the project should occur in the coming weeks as long as everything goes well and time permits. If you are not interest in the casting, please be patient I will upload the Turning once I have everything complete. Please enjoy!

I apologize to those that have come to expect a weekly upload, unfortunately (or fortunately 🤪) the bill paying business has grown busy in the past few weeks. Finding time at the lathe has been difficult, let alone editing a video out. Anyway no need to tell a sob story...
This weeks project is the Maker’s Bowl. A bowl that embodies what we do and who we are. It is going to be used as a show piece for our table at craft fairs so customers are aware of what we can do. Hopefully opening up more opportunity for custom commissioned pieces. The project started out with a 12” walnut blank from turningblanks.net, some backwards letters and a router. The green Alumilite resin was poured from the bottom to save resin. The piece was finished off with Acks abrasive paste and polishing/restoring paste. Though a great food safe finish this piece is specifically for show. Please enjoy!

This blank started out a a walnut plank I picked up out of the “off cuts” bin at Hearne Hardwoods! The birds eye was a section of the board we bought that had a large knot dead center. I ripped a slice off each side and laminated into the walnut after ripping it into thirds. Please enjoy!

This is my attempt at making a flower for her. The project was inspired by all of the resin hybrid work Doug does over on the Pohl Barn channel (link below) and the method Andy used to create his “Manehole Bowl” over on ARC Wood craft (link below)! If you haven’t already, you should check both of them out. I used a cherry blank from turningblanks.net Alumilite slow set resin and mica powers. I apologize I didn’t think to video the resin pour mainly due to the fast pace you must have so the resin doesn’t set up outside the piece. If you are interested in the pours, let me know in the comments, as the weather cools off I’ll try to get a few of them on video... maybe convince someone to be my camera crew! 😉

Lots of fun was had with this project learning about how the woods conspired against me. But in the end the tools won out and this beautiful bowl was born. Since finishing the project I have received a new product that had me thinking I might return to it and sand the finish off to refinish it for a better finish. But I haven’t decided yet. Thanks to all of our new subscribers and everyone that has hung around since the beginning!

I shared the rough turn and boiling process in my 9th video youtu.be/G4H3v-eMLug linked here. Since the rough turn I have learned a lot about sharpening HSS tools and you will notice I didn’t use any carbide to finish it. I am pleased with the amazing finish the Acks abrasive paste and polish provides as a base for Dr. Woodshop’s high build friction polish. Hope you enjoy. Please give a thumbs up, comment and share with your friends!

This is an antler shed pen. The antler was provided to me by a good friend that walks around the woods and collects them. I had minor issues using DNA to clean the blank and had to use a medium CA to fill a few small voids that it created. But all in all it ended up turning out great. It was intended as a Retirement gift so I forgot the still pictures... so I turned the second blank I made in the beginning so I could have some stills for the video. Please enjoy.

Laminated Purple Heart and White Ash to create this contrasting vase. Finished with Dr. Wood shop high build friction polish and Briwax. Lost the footage of turning the tenon off but it’s not super complicated.

The first task was to glue up our next video project so the glue could dry and I could get it turning (still haven’t). But second was getting this spalted 4x4 spinning on the lathe. Please enjoy!

A couple mistakes that I learned from and a few processes I probably won’t short cut again, namely the forstner bit. The failed first resin casting I’ll chock up to trying to fit the casting in after work one evening. I rushed it, didn’t look at the night time temps and didn’t have time to turn in the garage while it was setting so I could run the heat just a bad decision. I didn’t video the second casting mainly because I wasn’t sure what exactly the issue was. I moved the pressure pot into the house, insured the compressor was drained of water and kept it warm. Enjoy the video to see how it turned out!

We were just testing the waters of color mixing with resin and didn’t get exactly what we were looking for. But both turned out ok. Please enjoy!

The bottle stopper was an extra because I didn’t want an 6” handle on the scoop and didn’t want to waste the small piece of acrylic. I personally don’t care for this acrylic as it is extremely hard. Even the Easywood NR cutter didn’t want to shape it. Ended up doing most of the shaping with a Ci3 strait cutter.

Due to its thickness I had to mount it between centers so I had a small issue with the tail stock being loose after stalling the work piece. I was able to tighten it up and keep turning. The finished piece turned out very nice and was given to a friend who provided some cool turning stock.

Basically I cut squares of walnut and red oak, glued them together with tight bond III wood glue added a waste block on the bottom and let it sit on the shelf for a couple months! This is the second one of these I have done and I like this one better as it has 3 walnut layers instead of the two of it’s sister. Please enjoy!
By no means is this meant to be educational or instructional. It is only how I completed the bowl. I’m sure I have made mistakes and I would gladly listen to any advice as to the mistakes you might find.
