hi, great ideas for the drilling part if you use 1/4 drill bit you end with a drift too i suggest drill half the lenght turn 180 degree drill the rest. you start drilling with short drill bit help a lot and prevent the drift during drilling operation. and make sure your drill bit is sharp and reduce the rpm.

The fret wear isn't caused by low nut slots, but from pressing down the string with your finger. A low string doesn't buzz because it is pressing on the fret while unplayed; it buzzes when plucked and vibrating.
@ErikAnderson13 ай бұрын
True but this one was so low that resonant vibrations from another string would cause this string to vibrate and buzz even when not plucked. So what you said is partially true but not in this case. Fixed the problem.

Awesome video! Thanks for covering the dyeing process of pens :D Do you think the CA finish is necessary or else the dye will come off with the years of use? Or would something like shellawax or a friction polish work well too?

I be playing with this wood for over 40 years.i must say the dust is toxic and if you do not have a p 3 filter on your mask don’t turn it.. The specific gravity of the wood is over 1.21 and thus is the heaviest wood in the US.. Desert iron wood is perhaps in the top 8-9 heaviest woods in the world.. The wood turns nicely and polishes to a high luster.. The tree is quite small diameter not much over 18” and 30 feet tall.. Since about 2001 Bureau of land mgt has made all desert iron wood off limits.. No one can pick up or salvage dead trees anymore off of BLM land. Thus most wood comes from private land.. As a kid I lived in Phoenix from 1961 to 1964 and saw the tree in the desert.. Later I went to forestry school and not much was known about the tree.. The tree is an extreme in invader in hash areas and the shade provides micro climate for many cactus and other desert plants that can’t take full sun light or heat.. Just get the right dust mask protection first..

It is on a mobile base so I can roll outside of my shop on nice days, and when turning small stuff like this I don't need to stabilize it too much hence the wobbles, it looks more wobbly on camera because camera wobbles a bit too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Safe turning J

Look up beads of courage projects and somewhere in there are parameters and designs. I was never able to get my beads of courage bowl to my local children’s hospital. All kinds of turnovers In people handling the program. Hopefully it is better now. Somewhere on their site they have guidelines. I don’t know much about it anymore as I made mine years ago.

@@ErikAnderson1 Erik, it isn’t about the purpose nor the design of the bowls. Our club has been making them. We are planning to construct them with staves, and are developing a plan to teach our members, using recycled wood which varies in grain structure. However, I am finding that turning the inside of the bowl to be very difficult. If it were cherry or maple, maybe it wouldn’t be so difficult, but with a bowl gouge, spindle gouge, or heavy scraper, it is. So, I was hoping you might have a technique to deal with it. It is essentially finishing the sides of an endgrain turning. Any tips?
@ErikAnderson1 Жыл бұрын
You might want to do segments instead of staves.
@garyjanes2358 Жыл бұрын
@@ErikAnderson1 Thank you for the reply. Initially, thought is that it might be more challenging for some of our newer members. I developed a very simple way to cut consistent staves on the table saw without any jig. (Probably not the first to ever do it like I figured out. After all, the ball point pen was independently developed by at least two people!). But, you have made me rethink…so possibly some of us who can, would provide the rings, and that would be a great step forward. I’ll give that serious consideration!

What CA are you using and what is your process?
@ErikAnderson1 Жыл бұрын
I use different types of ca, right now I am using a generic ca from a local woodworker store in a medium thick. I use Yorkshire Grit to prep and apply some food grade mineral oil on a rag and apply to the piece the add ca to The same rag, and then apply in several sections several coats. I use the mineral oil to lubricate the CA glue and keep it from kicking off as fast. Once I have a few coats built up, I allow it to cure for a while, and then spray on some kicker. After applying the CA, glue finish, which is kind of like a sanding sealer, I will use more Yorkshire grit to wet sand the service, and then apply shellac based friction rub, polish known as shine juice, which I make myself. You can find people showing how to make the Cheyene juice on KZbin very simple process. Hope this helps. Enjoy your turning. Hope to see you back on my channel soon. Peace.
