I love doing wood work on a wood lathe. But last year I had a very old lathe that was heavily damaged and I gave it to the scrapman. I'm thinking of buying a new lathe. This design is very nice. You're a good master. Figured walnut bowl was very nice. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Yours truly.....

WOW! That is a phenomenal bowl. The grain on it is stunning. I like how you showed how to remove the bottom. I dont think I have ever seen anyone do that.

[@heyimamaker]

Lol, it didn't fit in my flat chuck so I was forced to do it. But I'm happy that I did. I really like the look. Thanks for watching!

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

@@heyimamaker it's okay because I dont know what a flat chuck is. :-)

[@CommercialForest]

That walnut grain figure really pops. Well done 👍. Unfortunately, this is the very reason why my garage is filled with odds and ends that I cannot throw away. Each scrap holds the potential of making something fantastic...at least that’s what I tell my wife!

[@heyimamaker]

Lol, maybe some day I will make a video of my scrap wood pile! I know the feeling, but it's totally not hoarding!

Your channel is a perfect example of quality over quantity. You don't post every week but these videos are crushing it with over 1,600 views already

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks so much! I don't know what it is about some videos but some definitely do better than others.

What a gorgeous piece of walnut. Keep up the good work. Paige

Hi there it's really great to meet you Adam and cheers from Montreal. Always great to meet and connect with fellow creators on this platform from Canada as that's been a side passion of ours since we started our Channel back a year-and-a-half ago. There's so much great talent coming out of this country and you are definitely a huge part of that for sure. I have worked some with wood as I grew up in eastern rural Quebec but not to the extent you've done and I'm hoping one day to get more into it. you do fantastic work and it's amazing how you can take a block of wood and turn it into a bowl and enjoyed each minute of it. Such a fine skill and you do it fantastic and once again it's really great to meet you and connect with you and hope you have a fantastic weekend. We are a husband and wife team who do video/photography by day here in Montreal and live streams at night featuring gameshow style shout outs (The wheel of shoutouts & New game called the Pusa Push for under 1k channels), Q&As on channel building and growth as well as interviews with Celebrities (two Emmy-award winnings guests and largest channel is 3.5 million followers) and big topics regarding the KZbin platform. Cheers and keep creating

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks for the kind works :)

[@KirstiePervinDavies]

The grain is beautiful!! 😍 great job! I love it!

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks :) I'm always excited to see how these things turn out.

[@dekeros-recreationalwoodwo6456]

Really nice! Great work!

[@heyimamaker]

Thank you, my friend! I hope all is well with you!

[@MakerMaddox]

I don't know what it is about a lathe that terrifies me. Haha! The bowl looks so great!!

[@heyimamaker]

I always operate the lathe with a certain level of fear :) They can bite.

[@MakinSawdust]

That turned out really awesome

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks so much! Gotta love the older tools :)

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Just art work! Very nice bowl you made buddy 👊👊

[@heyimamaker]

Thank you my friend!

Very nice 👍👏

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks! I am checking out your channel as well. I really like the egg storage box!

Hey I'm a Maker thank you my friend

[@redheadhippiewoodturning4694]

Great job! Such beautiful figure on the wood and you brought it out wonderfully!

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks! I love finding a surprise like that hidden in the wood!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice one mate, loved watching it.

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks so much!

[@sumosprojects]

That finished reveal is splendid mate, you’ve gotta be satisfied with that result 🔨🔨👍👍👍

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks my friend!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Well done, well done. Ken

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks Ken!

[@MoscaWoodworking]

brilliant. very nice. lathe is something on the "to learn" list foe me....

[@heyimamaker]

I have really enjoyed it and obviously still learning but keep an eye out for an old used one, I paid $150 for this one with a set of chisels. I bought a chuck new after so all in I think less than $200 Canadain.

[@LostStormcrow]

@Mosca Woodworking - I’d say it depends on your finances. I started with a Nova DVR (expensive but not insane) which made learning a lot easier. The NDVR does not requires belt changes and automatically adjusts torque to keep rpm consistent. If it’s in your range I’d advise spending the extra money. I’ve gone cheap on a lot of tools and been very happy but the lathe is a bit different. Not to say you can’t learn on a cheaper lathe just that the splurge is more worthwhile than it is on most tools.

[@heyimamaker]

@@LostStormcrow I would love a modern lathe for sure, adjusting the tool rest requires a wrench!

[@tfturning]

An absolutely stunning bowl, the figure in the wood too😍 I really need to pick up some walnut. Very nice job👍

[@heyimamaker]

Walnut is my favorite for sure. I would like to turn more maple and Oak but I don't find large scraps as easily as I do Walnut.

[@TheWoodYogi]

Really beautiful my friend 😊 ॐ

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks! Some day I will try the skew chisel ;)

[@TheWoodYogi]

The Skew is my favourite tool. It's the tool that I learned to turn with. How did you turn the spinning tops? Do you use a skew for them? 😊 ॐ

[@heyimamaker]

@@TheWoodYogi Nope, I used the bowl gouge! I should make a video about that!

[@TheWoodYogi]

That would be great for people to watch 😊 ॐ

I liked number 53. I've been to your instagram and I'm following too. Thanks for sharing as your ideas.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Very nice figure in that bowl!

[@heyimamaker]

Like finding a treasure :)

[@BKRcustoms]

"Now that's a nice bowl, I like that bowl"

[@heyimamaker]

I have yet to find a blank I didn't like :)

[@heyimamaker]

I like your 1 hours build concept!

[@BKRcustoms]

@@heyimamaker oh why thankyou.

[@bconiswhattheycallme]

If you start with a faceplate on what will be the hollowed out section, then use the tenon you made on the bottom, you should be able to avoid making a hole. Looks great though.

[@heyimamaker]

I almost always use the faceplate and for whatever reason, didn't do that. Thanks for watching :)

[@Димитрий-ш6с]

Good job! Excellent result! 👍👍👍. Subscribed, come visit.

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Cat got your tongue? i really prefer videos where people explain what the are up to. Otherwise, nice job.

[@heyimamaker]

Any questions let me know, I don't have any audio equipment and really don't think I should be offering ways to do things. I could and might offer a narrative on how I do things / learned to do them but I don't know enough to be teaching people..

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@heyimamaker All you got to do is say what your are doing and with what. Surley your camera has sound. Everyone has an opinon. But, you are doing fine, I'm just not a fan of music or no narrative. Take care, Larry
