How to Turn an Emerging Bowl

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Nice demo Mike. As usual you explain everything carefully. Thanks. Have to try this now.

[@randyclary8144]

I always enjoy your videos and I have wondered many times how it on emerging Boles done I will have to try it myself I had forgot all about them thank you for your many efforts Mike

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad to help

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

Thanks for the video, I also watched Leo's video, so nice to see it again

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marknienstadt6963]

I watched that video. It's amazing how we can reach out to people on the other side of the planet with such quality. They have some good demos.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

True that!

[@davidmorgan7522]

Thanks for this video Mike! I was tied up and missed the first part of Theo's demo but this answers most of the questions I had. Take care, Dave

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Sleeping were you? Glad it was helpful!

[@trevormiller1366]

Cool little project, I'd be interested seeing what else could be done with it for sure! 👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

That's the plan!

[@billy19461]

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad to hear it!

[@josephwise485]

Thanks for sharing, nice video and info. Denatured alcohol works good on removing /softening hot melt glue. Just give it a minute to work.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good tip. I have used it in the past but was impatient for this one. Cleaning off my chisel was a pain.

[@tomcoker9882]

Hi Mike, nice demo.. I got a bit worried at the 8:46 mark, just as you finished boring the center out, when it sounded like everything was getting to fly apart, but all seemed to be ok. The router bit used as a hollowing was a neat idea, simplified making a spherical bowl cavity. Thanks for another interesting video. Stay safe and well to keep them coming. Cheers, Tom

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Tom. The router bit does create some chatter.

[@jackthompson8019]

Very interesting Mike.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you think so!

[@glencrandall7051]

I was up at 5:30 that morning watching Theo's demo too. It's a very interesting process. I suspect it's a bit more difficult than you make it look. I forgot about using the core box bit for hollowing. I'm glad you brought that up. And I suppose you could put a lid on and it would become a box. Thank you for sharing. Have a great Independence day and stay safe.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Yes, his demo was worth getting up early for! I have plans for a box but with a somewhat different design. After watching Theo I decised to reverse the order with turning the end first and then cutting on a BS. Scaling this project up is where I think it can get more complex because of the need for more support of the bowl when turning.

[@JoelAlbert1]

Would love to see this as a box!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Joel, I have had that on my to do list. It is a bit harder to chuck so I have been putting it off. One day.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Great project Mike. I’ve been wanting to do one of those for a while but haven’t really known how to best go about doing so. You explained the process very well I thought. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for that. Give it a shot. I would start small before I scaled up!

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Good video and great project, Mike!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Wow, thanks!

[@TimRobertsonWoodturning]

That turned out nice.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I am pleased but it is too small for anything besides a ring bowl or as a conversational knick knack.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome demonstration Mike maybe make one just little bigger.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I think my next one will be a box.

[@georgebrill3072]

Hi Mike, good video. I'd like to see you kick this up a bit. Maybe a larger one where the bowl is about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Thanks.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for the feedback. I will see what I can do.

[@sc0270]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning any plans on doubling the size?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

@@sc0270 One of these days maybe. My focus is on inspiring and teaching. A larger box is a serious challenge for many of my viewers.

[@haroldsworld]

Short time in the microwave works well too. Nice Video, I watched Theos video too but I caught the 07:30 PM addition. Need all the beauty rest I can get. Yours looks a little simpler. Guess I'm going o have to make one too. Thanks Harold

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Go for it. I think the core box bit may be over kill and limits your size options but I figure I could use it for acorn boxes.

[@haroldsworld]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning ?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You said you were going to make one and Theo and I used a 2" core box router bit.

[@LPM17Tax]

Great video Mike! I had tried one of these with much less success. With some extra pointers here I think my next attempt should be a vast improvement. One question/suggestion regarding the hot glue. Rather than smearing the bottom of piece, hot glue holds amazingly well when applied to outside edge of piece and base. I apply bead of hot glue around piece and it holds solidly. And very easy to remove.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for the tip. I will try that next time I use hot glue.

[@terrytenley9327]

Always fun to watch.. thx

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Our pleasure!

[@toolchuck]

Dang Mike, @ 0:48 I could have sworn I had accidently clicked on a medical video, and I was about to watch a Proctologist give an exam! 👀 Love your content Mike, keep them coming! Thanks, Chuck

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

My wife ordered them off the internet during covid. Not suitable for that but ok dust masks.

[@toolchuck]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Haha, run with what ya got. I really have learned a lot from you and have outgrown my midi lathe, Tuesday I get my Robust sweet 16. I can't wait to try it out and see what it feels like to turn on a full-size lathe. I keep going over your videos and as well as Alen Lacer's as I'm still learning traditional tools. Great fun, and it seems to be turning into a passion for me, sound familiar? Thank again, Chuck

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Mike, Nicely done and presented.....(Not sure if I want to attempt one) I saw Julio Marcolongo turn one-can't remember when or where. I also can't recall how he turned it. Anyway, well done. Sam

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Sam. We may have been in the same demo, I think it was Raleigh. I should have gone back and checked my notes before making this video.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I am sure there are many ways to do this.....Sam

[@MarklTucson]

This looks like a good application for 3D printed parts. The templates and support block could be printed and save some time. The support block could be a negative image of the part being supported.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Not sure if I will be investing in a 3D printer but who knows? Thanks for sharing.

[@randysmith9715]

Very Nice project Mike; Have you thought about removing the plate waste with a table saw? I've used the TS to remove stock in a flat plane for past projects.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

For something this size I would have had to take down my cross cut sled after I cleaned off my portable workbench (TS). Couple of strokes on my sandpaper mdf board after the BS and it was smooth. Had my table saw been clean and had the crosscut sled mounted, I certainly would have used it.

[@brianwaters8754]

If you make the support block quite a bit bigger it acts as a counterbalance and cuts down the vibration a lot

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good advice.

[@crosscutofficial]

Nice piece! Question, how do you get a good hold with a 4 jaw chuck?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good question! Large jaws grasping the square end.

[@henniebasson515]

Microwave. I have used it making a femisphere. Works perfectly with hot glue. Kind regards.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Great tip!

[@whpalmer4]

That’s pretty cool, thanks for the demonstration. I wonder if now I’ll get less enjoyment from seeing such pieces now that the “how the heck did they do that?” aspect is gone! It seems like one might do some interesting things combining this mounting technique with off-axis turning.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Always great when we can take an idea in a different direction and make it our own! I am not very good at that.

[@lancewilliamson2417]

I've made a pair of spoons using this technique.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Emerging spoon?

[@lancewilliamson2417]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning The bowl is the spoon and the block becomes a handle. It starts out looking like a popsicle, then cut in half and hollow the spoon. Mine turned out to be a tablespoon in volume.

[@make-somedust]

I use alcohol to release the glue. Drizzle it on let it set for a minute and pull the piece right off.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cobberpete1]

Very different Mike. From the thumb nail I was expecting something a bit bigger.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Bigger is much more difficult and this is just my first one. More to come I hope.

[@ozziemale202]

Thank you mike - great video. I turned one from maple based on your video. Pic here www.dropbox.com/sh/042s2rhuo5jtvzy/AAAzf7Y-3pXmcZzvSG6p7RJMa?dl=0 A couple of comments: 1. I prefer to have a wider base, for stability. Mike Weldt's look unstable, and the bowl would topple if you put anything in it. 2. Like you I had difficulty separating the bowl, and I even damaged one badly. My solution was to use a very thin parting tool (home made from a kitchen knife) to cut between the bowl and the base plate. It works well as the tool heats up from the friction and cut nicely through the glue. 3. As you suggested, I used a 2" core box bit for the inside of the bowl. It worked well. Make sure you get the center right (spoken from experience). Gidi

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good to hear from you, Gidi! Nice job on the box. Not sure I will get much use out of that box bit. That is a lot of carbide on the wood shaking, rattling and chattering. It does better on green wood then dry I discovered when I tried it on some acorn box blanks of green wood that I set aside to dry.

[@codetech5598]

That's a very small bowl.

Yes it is. It could be uses as a ring bowl. You have to crawl before you can walk.
