Tom Turns: Three Footed Bowl - Woodturning
Переглядів 4,9 тис.8 років тому
In my latest project video I turn a 'three footed' bowl from dry rippled sycamore. Before turning this I had produced a four footed bowl, however I found that four feet would not sit on an uneven surface (or if the vessel was uneven) and so I learnt from the experience of others and produced this three footed variant!

    Nice work, but sorry, it is NOT simple at all. Simple is, when you do it using only some simple tools, not all these complicated and super expensive machines. Could you do it using some hand tools and perhaps electric drill and nothing more? The title is hugely misleading.

    I learned on traditional tools. And I turn a lot of really hard woods. Until I wenr to carbide, my hobby was more sharpening tools than working wood. So I start with carbide, and finish with traditional.

    • @acolyteturner

    I just went thru the bottom of a nice crotch piece of ash. I was using a mortise mount for my jaws and didn’t take the cavity into account. Thinking about an epoxy bottom repair, maybe with some seashells or something. But like you, I wax philosophical. I learn about myself as I turn, as I try to be creative with my engineering mind, as I solve problems. Thank you for reflecting that. So it’s not just me. Keep turning and learning.

    • @acolyteturner
      @acolyteturner 2 роки тому

      I often feel that how I learn to mount (and remount) pieces on the lathe, or learn to repair mistakes, is the evidence of how far I have progressed as a turner! I like the idea of the shells!

    Thank you for a good honest report on the lowly carbide cutter. The purists in my turners club look down their noses at carbide scrapers, and don't think they are worthy tools for any use, beginner or not. I just ordered a high end set of carbides, and hope to receive them today. The one time I was able to use carbides, I loved them. You're right about some extra sanding, but that is a minor thing when you consider the ease of use. Thank you for a great video.

    • @acolyteturner
      @acolyteturner 2 роки тому

      I'm sure you could, however I find a simple screw chuck (screw sticking out from a scrap of timber) the easiest for drawer pulls and knobs. Use same size screw as you will to affix the knob to the drawer... You could also use hot glue...

    Much easier, much faster, no sharpening, and a very acceptable final product. Beyond one more grit of sanding, a few moments really, I just don't see any downside. Time is money, a pleasant time at the job, more pluses. It's a huge advancement of 5000+ yr. old technology. I'd say you have to look awfully hard for any negatives. Lovely bowl!
