Paul Howard Fluting/Router Jig 13 - A Latticework Rimmed Bowl in Iroko

This is my 13th video following my learning experience with the Paul Howard Fluting/Router jig. William Hunt Woodturner. A more complex project with 60 flutes at 5mm thick, to complement to 5mm annular grooves on the reverse. Initially I finished the bowl in melamine lacquer, but stripped it off in favour of Hampshire Sheen microcrystaline wax as the lacquer looked too bright and artificial.
Ive never turned Iroko before but I was pleased how it cut and finished, but there was a tendency to splinter a little under the router, or it may have been bad handling on my part.
I used a 5mm straight, twin flute router cutter which worked well for this project giving an almost equal spacing for the fluting and web in between.
Not a perfect piece, but good enough to pass muster.
Paul Howard’s Fluting Jig is an amazing addition to the woodturners tool kit and opens up all kinds of new turning opportunities.

Great job well done.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you Al, Im having fun with this equipment.

[@davefullmer2970]

I made a jig like this for my full size Dewalt router from scraps around the garage. Made a register plate from plexiglass. I have made four of these types of bowls. It's a lot of fun to do but it can get a little fiddly to get all the nooks and crannies looking good.

[@barrycook4690]

I have to say you did that with perfection and it was good to speak to you on Saturday all the best

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Hi Barry it was good to meet so may people at UKIWS, Im still kicking myself for not going to the previous meets.

[@bigjase6481]

Amazing craftsmanship, so glad to have learnt something new, that I never could never thought possible. 👍👍👍👍

[@SKKrafts]

what a great video William, now buying the Paul Howard fluting jig and this has inspired me, thank you for sharing.

[@jayp4083]

Funny! Comic in another life? Nice work.

[@MikeWaldt]

The only word I can think of is "stunning" William, I honestly think that there is even more amazing work to come from you using this jig. Excellent video. Cheers Mike PS - It was a great pleasure to meet you mate.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Mike, getting there with this Jig. Im pleased to see others following and Ive seen some great output alreday. It was great to finally meet you in person at last!

[@stevenbeedham9737]

Absolutely love it well done William. Your client will be pleased 😀

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Steven, Ill have on to it for a few days to make sure it doesn't do anything silly! Its unlikely to, kiln dried, dusty and old.

[@stevenbeedham9737]

That's what I do before I take any thing to the gallery's. I would hate for it to crack, when they have spent good money on it.

[@WoodCarvingCreations]

Amazing job William

[@jacobworkman6455]

Loved the bit of commentary at the end. Great work on that bowl. 👍

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Jacob, glad you enjoyed it!

[@clifforddalton3067]

A remarkable piece of artistry, beautiful.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you Cliffords, this is one of my top five favorite pieces I have turned.

[@derekwilkinson7939]

What a lovely piece. Your certainly getting to be a dab hand with the router jig. Well done.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Derek, sure Im slowly getting there.

[@markstevens8142]

Very nice William👍👍👍

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Mark!

[@jeanlucbourdin5560]

Magnifique pièce ! travail intéressant a faire!!

[@oneshotme]

Was cool how the grain morphed as you turn it! Great job and looking as well

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Russel!

[@paulcleary3289]

Hi William, this must rank as one of the nicest bowls I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your workmanship is really excellent and your delivery is amusing too! Best wishes Paul

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Paul. Its one of my top 5 pieces. Got to love that Fluting Jig, when you learn to control it.

[@scottstubberud1137]

Very very intriguing and what a cool result. It is a dramatic look and still functional if needed. I wouldn’t, that would be just on display if it was mine! New subscriber btw!! Loved it!

[@lindsaygardner2948]

stunning piece once again

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Lindsay.

[@genedeahl7453]

Very nice and intriguing

[@Chrisparkerwoodturner]

Wow will that is an absolute standout piece congratulations on learning and being able to use the jig like a pro 👏👏👏👏👏👏 very inspiring vid GOOD TURN .

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Chris, dont know about being a pro, just yet!

[@johnpbh]

Very nice work and a wonderful way to use a router. The last time I used Iroko was in the '70's and I worked in a boatbuilders who built wooden boats and we used Iroko for the frame laminations. (I wasn't one of the real workers, I just produced the drawings for them to build the boat.) P.S: Love the humour and look forward to many more visits to your channel.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks again John, Iroko works well on this type of project.

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Very nice your fluting is remarkable! The Coyote Woodshop Hutto, Texas 🇺🇸

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you!

[@paulhowardwoodturner1987]

Well done William very nice piece and video. Looking forward to seeing the one with 120 flutes!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Paul, not quite 100%, the annular grooves on the reverse not quite even but I think only a turner would notice. I have a 120 flute project mapped at 3mm intervals with a 3mm cutter and 115mm radius, so it will need to be a rimmed platter or bowl. Any suggestions regarding timber selection?

[@jeremyedwards5950]

Absolutely beautiful work William.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Jeremy.

[@glencrandall7051]

OK I am about 4 years late. But I loved the wood, I loved the bowl. I loved the lattice rim, I loved the finish and I even loved the music, for about 15 seconds. After that it was just iritating.

[@rogerleslie4282]

Sprung William, a very lovely piece of work. You seem to be getting better with more cutting. 120 now that’s a challenge. Cheers mate Roger 🇦🇺......

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Roger. Yes, 120 a challenge but I just saw with 180, using a gearbox cog as an index plate, that both awesome and depressing!

[@peterramaekers3037]

Beautifull piece of art.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Peter, never really thought of myself as an artist!

[@MGMakes]

Beautiful work, very unique. Thanks for sharing. 👊👊👊

[@clifforddalton3067]

It's all about inspiration isn't it? I get so much of that from watching youtube videos AND just because your craft is different to mine does not mean I don't get inspiration! I really do. This is only the second one of your videos I've watched so far but will keep a keen eye open for what's to come. By the way, I used to live in Bromyard !!!!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Chliiford, yes I agree it's all about inspiration. I have to reply on KZbin, old books and magazines as I dont have much artistic talent built in.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

That bowl is fantastic! Great work!! I have the Paul Howard sphere jig and after watching your video i am going to go check out this jig 👍👍

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Yes the jig is great but requires some careful thought and practice. The spreadsheet I developed helps planning a lot and has been used by over 130 turners. Free when you get your jig.

[@Kyndalmccaleb7635]

Very beautiful and amazing work!😊

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Nicely done William

[@peterleffler2062]

You don't need me to tell you that that is a great bowl! 😁 Sorry to have missed one of you at UKIWS. Maybe next year.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Peter, sorry I missed you, as you say next July will come around soon enough!

[@ronmiller682]

Thanks Glyn, Im getting there with the fluting jig. Further progress being hampered by good weather, BBQ's and Fursty Ferret!

[@booyaa1851]

Very nice 👍

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you Mark!

[@njbnsn]

Great piece and video William. Can you expand on how you did rim repairs?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Yes Nick, There was a large chip came off which I just used CA to put is back, run the router over it again, sanded the sealed. There were two minor chips which I did not find so had to use medium CA and dust to infill. I made a little former using electrical tape to hold in whist the CA cured. Had to rub down by hand then seal. Almost invisible except to anoither turner of course!

[@njbnsn]

Thanks, William, interesting the join held up on being routed! Good to know.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Nick, nobody more surprised than I...

[@miguelsommariva9173]

Wow 😮 stunning 👍🏻🇦🇺

wonderfull

Thanks Peter, I was more than happy with this one.

[@tiassekararuni7856]

is that safe for tableware used? are you use foodgrading finished?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

No, normally I dont use foodsafe finish unless Im asked too. this pice is too fragile for practical use.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Lovely! Is that your Evil Twin Brother?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Yup, but (mostly) harmless.

[@irenedavo3768]

Do you ever sell on Etsy?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Not at the moment.

[@donlyons8964]

Great piece but the music is very irritating.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

The music always manages to irritate someone! Next project no music.
