Easy Feet Wood Bowl Turning

[@ofrank6551]

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

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

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!

[@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

[@garytompkins3761]

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

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds good Gary. Enjoy and Happy Turning!

[@billrockefeller5409]

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

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Enjoy, Bill. 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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@dwhitford6966]

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

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds good D. Happy Turning!

[@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!

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Thank you, David. Happy Turning!

[@paulruud5804]

As always, a pleasure to watch your artistry.

Thank you kindly, Paul! Happy Turning!

[@HubertMcCallum]

An excellent video. Thank you.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

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

[@jamessmith-np8tm]

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

[@awildandcrazyguy1]

Hi Kent, So simple!! Thanks!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You are very welcome. 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!

[@billthomas9905]

Yes I have to try this

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Go for it Bill. Happy Turning!

[@blackhorse2947]

Very impressing …….👍

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@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!

[@fryeguy9939]

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

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Glad you like it! Enjoy and Happy 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!

[@kenvasko2285]

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

[@oldguy7402]

It's a feat of easy feet.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Ha! I like it. Happy Turning!

[@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?
