Thanks for the compliments and criticism. This was an early video and I have got better with camera placement I hope. Cheers Jake.

Hi Knud. The tools were, a 1 inch skew, a bowl gouge and a carbide circular scraper. These days I would do most of it with a heavy scrapper as it removes material very quickly and leaves a clean finish if properly sharpened.

Good thinking and good luck.

I think I gave most of this critique of my own performance at the time. This video is over six years old and my knowledge and techniques have much improved. I shared this under the title 'The perils of outboard turning' so that others could learn from my mistakes. It wasn't presented as a good practice video. C'mon bruh, show some understanding.

@@JWWoodturning You know what? You're 100% right on all points mentioned. I sincerely apologize. I had an adverse reaction to the video and commented without thinking or reading much (also without coffee in my system lol).

@@WrinkleFitzGerald No problem, I'm sure it is a bit triggering for someone who has experience. Thanks for your reply.

Not sure what your seeing but it was definitely a bowl gouge. my biggest spindle gouge is 10mm and used on spindles funnily enough.

@@JWWoodturning Sorry about that.

@@bowlreveal No Problem

My Pleasure. Still working fine, with no issues, so its jurable too.

Thank You

Speed adjustment to keep vibrations and motor stresses etc down is my best suggestion to add to what you said. To be honest my eventual solution was to buy a bigger lathe which has made the whole process less 'exciting'' and more controlled. But give it a try, its a lot less challenging than I made it look and I have produced some lovely, functional big projects with this technique.

I agree, which is why I ended up repurposing other tools.

Thanks. It's all about the sharing of experience.

From memory, it had been dried for a couple of years before it was turned. This was not how long it would have need, 6-12 montrhs would have been enough to dry it.

I'm still using

Thanks. I have to say I have seen this in a lot of places and have never heard them referred to as specifically chinese in design. I can imagine a copper band would make the board more decorative, but I have been using this board daily for the last 6 years and have had no checking problems, maybe I was just lucky.

The original pot was huge! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmPSiWeVab6Kb9k Love the design. We didn't get to see the way you made the dipper.

@@morgancalvi6675 The pot was made to show the concept and suited the size I needed. The joy of making your own stuff is you can make it any size. The dipper was already made and I just incorporated in the final project. If I remember correctly Pooh Bear prefered to eat it straight out of the pot.

@@JWWoodturning you remember correctly....

I prefer my dust distracted

Sorry the item was gifted to a friend so I no longer have it. the pot was about 10cm tall from memory. Hope that helps.

@@JWWoodturning appreciated sir

@@sari6929 my pleasure

Sadly this is not the first time I have received this comment on a video. It is difficult to be both the presenter and camera operator without the luxury of reshoots if you get it wrong. I try to learn from my mistakes and favour different camera angles these days, but as I can't be looking down the camera and turning at the same time, this view blocking still happens. I hope you can be understanding and enjoy/benefit from my videos even though I have to be my own production company and make no money doing it.

@@JWWoodturning sorry if I hurt your feelings. With little bit recording improvement, we will enjoy more. After all we view it for learning. I loved the final product, keep it up!

@@ShaukatHakim No problem, my feelings are intact. Glad you enjoy the videos. In criticising others work, it's good to mention the bits you like too.

Il est difficile d'être à la fois présentateur et caméraman

Wow, do you have any friends?

I'm intrigue, why on mute?

Yep it was

Glad to have inspired you, good luck!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnOmppqQqsR-hpY If your looking to buy one like it watch this video as you might be surprised at your options.

good luck, i hope it turns out well.

This one was for my own use. We have a few on sale at My Website: www.jwwoodturning.co.uk

My Pleasure, Thanks for watching.

It may help but this was dry wood before it was turned and oiled.

It's London Plane

@@JWWoodturning Which tree is the wood?

@@pradipbishwokarma6740 London Plane tree

@@JWWoodturning Which other wood is better?

@@pradipbishwokarma6740 Any hard wood, Oak and Ash are good. Even pine is ok though not as durable.

Hi Carlos. This Piece only had very small cracks which didn't need filling. If I need to fill cracks in a chopping board I use epoxy resin which is food safe.

Awesome thank you. How long do I allow it to dry. How can I send you a picture? Thanks for your reply sir. Awesome work and video

@@chucklongora6099 Thanks for that. Drying is roughly 1 month per inch (25mm) of thickness but this is very variable depending on wood type and storage conditions. You can email me through my website with your picture. Thanks again.

@@JWWoodturning -Thanks again. I will def. send you the pictures. Take Care.

Thank you

The card is still used several times a day and is showing no damage. As to how many knives it can sharpen, lots I hope. I do love having sharp knives for the first time in my life.

@@JWWoodturning thanks

Thank you! Will do!

Nice stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that Randy. My cheap little meter doesn't have that functionality but its good to know.

Thanks, my better 1/2 loves the 1 I made for her.

Thanks Alan, it's good to be back.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the results.

Thanks Nomad, I have a couple on sale in my shop with more to come soon. www.jwwoodturning.co.uk/shop.html

Thanks Adam. It was a fun piece to make and was sold as a wedding gift with its companion piece.

Are you looking for the specific lathe model?

Thanks Nick. Occasionally I get a nice piece left after making all that nesting material.

Hi Granville. I should probably do an update to this video as I am now using sharpening cards and blocks with no issues and my gouges have never been so sharp. This video was a response to my initial problems on gouges. Marking the face with a Sharpie (not s sponsor) so I can see what I have done has been a revelation.

@@JWWoodturning great .good idea using the Sharpie as well
