Easy Feet Wood Bowl Turning

[@jamessmith-np8tm]

Just got a trailer load of magnolia logs going to try your method on some of them. Thanks

[@JoeBall-mi4gh]

Thanks for your ministry, it's a great help for me. Watch every week

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, Joe. I've never thought of this as a ministry. Interesting. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@billrockefeller5409]

Kent, Thanks for sharing your three feet, it will be on my next bowl.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Enjoy, Bill. Happy Turning!

[@josephmobley9011]

Like you're method much, better than a coping saw

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, Joe. Yes, the saw can cut too deep many times, but it will work too. Happy Turning!

[@dwhitford6966]

Thank you Kent! I'm going to try this technique on a future bowl.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds good D. Happy Turning!

[@Jim-ij8wi]

Great idea, and they look beautiful. I’ll give it a try on my next project. Thank you for sharing.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you kindly, Jim. Enjoy and Happy Turning!

[@garytompkins3761]

Nice Kent , I am going to try this on a piece of cherry

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds good Gary. Enjoy and Happy Turning!

That truly has beautiful grain! Beautiful bowl! I’ve been watching your videos for more years than I can remember and I’ve learned a ton! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if you would consider a shop tour video. I think a shop tour might give some of us ideas on how to set up a shop or rearrange a shop. Thank you for the consideration. O. Frank

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Frank, Thank you for writing and sharing! I'm thinking about it after I reach 100K subscribers. Happy Turning!

[@RoySofield]

Great tutorial, Kent. Was the wood dry when you turned this bowl? I appreciate the inspiration.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks Roy! The moisture content was low, but this species is very dense and is ideal for once-turned pieces like this. It moves very little after turning, and with the organic shape, any movement is not perceivable. Happy Turning! Kent

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Very nice, a great information video, a great voice over.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, David. Happy Turning!

[@paulruud5804]

As always, a pleasure to watch your artistry.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you kindly, Paul! Happy Turning!

[@markduggan3451]

The way my turnings are going at the moment, I'd be happy to just not end up with sawdust. Your skill set is amazing.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you very much, Mark! However, you can do it too. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! Happy Turning!

[@billthomas9905]

Yes I have to try this

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Go for it Bill. Happy Turning!

[@FRBPturning]

I was just wondering what to do for my next project. This might be it. Another beautifully executed piece!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Go for it! Have fun and Happy Turning!

[@awildandcrazyguy1]

Hi Kent, So simple!! Thanks!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You are very welcome. Happy Turning!

[@HubertMcCallum]

An excellent video. Thank you.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, Hubert! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@tielkgate]

I like it. I did something similar recently, but I didn't go with the three-foot look. I wish I had. This really gives a different look to the beautiful grain pattern. Thanks for the lesson Kent. Lowell

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, Lowell. Glad you like this. Happy Turning!

[@blackhorse2947]

Very impressing …….👍

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fryeguy9939]

I like it..... I'm always looking for something different and unique ! ! !😊

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Glad you like it! Enjoy and Happy Turning!

[@awildandcrazyguy1]

Hi Kent, very nice bowl!! Hey, in many of your videos, there is a net type curtain in the background. I am assuming it is to catch chips. Does it work? Did you make it or can it be purchased?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks Wildandcrazyguy1 Check out this video about the screen kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHPcloFtpLR9htUsi=JmNLqsgx8NLC7A07 Happy Turning!

[@timofeyzhukov-khovanskiy9173]

Lovely, I've carved the feet out by hand before using rasp at first. What engraving pen do you use, seems to have a really nice tip

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds great, Tim. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@oldguy7402]

It's a feat of easy feet.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Ha! I like it. Happy Turning!

[@kenvasko2285]

'Hands' down your 'feet' are the bee's 'knees' of bowl turning.

[@plainnpretty]

It turned out great. Your house is probably full of wooden bowls? Or do you sell / trade them ? Thanks

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

LOL, yes, many bowls everywhere. I do sell online but haven't had time to post many recently. Happy Turning!

Preparation and Shaping (01:20-03:50): Kent chisels away loose bark for a secure connection on the lathe and demonstrates shaping the bowl’s exterior, emphasizing the importance of balancing the wings and maintaining the integrity of the bark.

[@valeriehenschel1590]

😮Kudos for showing how to safely add feet to a bowl. But please be clear with your viewers on when you are using a “jam” chuck vs a “pressure” chuck. They are very different chucking methods, and require different techniques for use. Best if the terms are not confusing to new turners.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you, Valerie. Would you care to elaborate?
