Segmented Vessel from Random Rings #2

[@ThePapa1947]

Well Gord I clicked Like because I loved it. Even though you beat me to using up my extra rings I still loved it..LOL They seem to have been meant to go together if you ask me. I have a tumbling block feature ring and a star for the bottom but have not come come up with the rest. Maybe someday. Great video my friend, Gary

[@GordonRock1]

I’m sure once you start thinking about it it won’t take very long before you come up with something absolutely astounding, Gary. I look forward to seeing it in the not too distant future. Now I think I will go take a look at the video that you released today. I am ready to be totally blown away once again. Thanks for watching, buddy. Take good care of yourself! .....Gord

Very nice Gord. I never thought that random segmented rings would go together so nicely. I recently made a seggie sled and have some of my practice rings laying around, They are different numbers of segments so I'll give them a try in a bowl. Thanks for the inspiration.

As always, I really enjoyed the video, Gord. My favorite part was your blending of the rings on the outside, one level to the next. It was just mesmerizing! Your design looks a little like a space capsule, really cool! Very nice finish, too. Just a really great turning, my friend! Phil

A space capsule, Phil? Okay, I guess I can see that. I’m just happy that it didn’t bore you to tears! Of course, as an insomniac I would be happy to find someone who could put me to sleep!

Great looking piece. Great way to use up old rings. This is the second video I have seen you make a vessel from "EXTRA" rings, it sounds like you make some extra. All of mine come from my original turning flying off the lathe.

[@GordonRock1]

Glad you liked it, Kent. Yes, I often make extra rings if I have segments cut that I can do that with. It’s not something I will do very often but it’s fun to just take a few of those extra rings and see what I can make with them. Thanks for watching, Kent! 😃😃😃

[@jayscott306]

Really nice piece made of your leftovers. That finish, fantastic! I think I've decided that I cannot do video Simply for the reason that I would not be able to handle the know-it-alls in the comment section. Those armchair turners or people who always know something better than you, but never demonstrate their clear superiority, are people I just couldn't handle trying to deal with in the comment section. As for the displaced, KZbin used to use a five star rating system and at that time you were rating with quality of the video, not the content. For all you know a thumbs-down could be because somebody perceived an audio glitch or didn't like the frame rate of the vase spinning when you were applying the shellac and the optical illusion it created. Keep being you and creating your videos Gord. We love them!

[@GordonRock1]

I understand what you're saying, Jay. I ALWAYS get at least one thumbs down no matter what I do or how many thumbs up I receive. I once blocked a viewer from commenting because he was rude and foul mouthed. Ever since that happened I get the thumbs down so I assume he's a troll and still hanging around. It actually did bother me at one time because they never say what they don't like. My friend Mike Waldt once told me "haters will hate and you can't do anything about it". He was right and now I have arrived at the point where I really don't care!! I appreciate the people who give a thumbs up and don't worry about the trolls. I really appreciate you, Jay. I will dwell on the "nice" people!! Thanks for watching, Jay! 😃😃😃

@@GordonRock1 I get it, and maybe my skin would thicken, but I know from my photography career how I respond to unwarranted hate from people I'll never meet. I guess, like you, I try to understand why. Often it's only a reflection of their own dissatisfaction, and not the work they are disliking.

I like the "Like" button so I clicked it. There is no "Love It" button so that is the best I can do. This one kind of reminds me of a glorified bee hive, perhaps a "Bee Condo".

[@GordonRock1]

Yes, Gil, it was a bunch of rings made at some point(s) in the past. Not the shape I would prefer but the wood told me what to do with it. It's growing on me and it passed the SWMBO Test so it must be wonderful. 😁😁😁 Thanks for watching! 😃😃😃

How long do you let the glue set up before putting another segment on

[@GordonRock1]

Hi Mike! I assume you mean another ring. I let the glue set up for about 1/2 hour before adding another ring but let it set up for at least 2 hours on the last ring before doing any turning. If I add more rings after doing some turning I follow the same timeline. Thanks for watching, Danny! I appreciate the support! 😃😃😃

[@daveh2328]

i use denatured alcohol to remove the glue, just soak some on let set a minute soak again and wait then start to peel the glue off. Is there some reason I should not use denatured alcohol? Just wondering.

No reason I know of. If it works for you, it must be the right thing to do. Thank you for the tip. I may have to give that a try someday!

[@GordonRock1]

I assume you're referring to the Floating Disc, Jean. I believe it worked out just fine. Of course there is no way to see what the glue did when I put it together. As long as no glue got into the gap it should expand and contract with weather changes. If it ever cracks I will know that I didn't do it correctly.

Hi I’m a new wood turner and using my dad’s old roc well belt driven wood lathe and looking to upgrade. Could you give me some advice please

[@GordonRock1]

Gordon, that is such a difficult thing to give advice on. Most wood turners that I have talked to have always said that once you are sure that you like wood turning you should spend as much as you can afford on the best lathe you can purchase. There are so many makers of good lathes out there that I hesitate to recommend one over another. It also depends on where you live. A manufacturer in your area may be able to supply a good lathe at a better price than you would find if you had to import one. I’m sorry that I can’t be more definitive. I suggest that you just shop around at your local Woodturning shops and see what they have to offer. I wish you luck on your search!

Small world, Gordon! I live in Red Deer. I should tell you that I used to work for KMS Tools (Red Deer). Also, I use a Nova lathe and love it. I have friends who turn on Laguna lathes and are very happy with them. I would recommend shopping at KMS Tools in Calgary for Nova lathes and Black Forest Wood Company to look at Laguna lathes. Then it will be dependent on budget and what you want to turn. Almost every turner gets a first lathe that they think is all they want and then has to upgrade to something larger and more powerful. I’m on my fourth lathe and wish I had bought the biggest I could afford at the very beginning. If I can help further just let me know.
