Get Twisted on Multi Axis Wood Turning

[@gadfly149]

Things like this remind me of others in HS Trigonometry, “What do we need this for?” I loved math, and I’m so glad I paid attention 35 years ago!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank so much. I do love math as well. In the 7th grade I was put in an advanced math class with 8th graders. Made me feel pretty good. When I got to high school I got an algebra teacher who really did not care about how anyone was doing. He seemed to favor the girls. My sister who is 5 years older than me said she had him and could see the same thing. That about ruined it for me. But then I found geometry and trig. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@glencrandall7051]

Very well done Gary. Deft on walnut, that sure works well too. This little project is a nice way to kick off 2023.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2023 and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Glen. I did have fun making this one and it was the first for the New Year. Happy New Year to you as well. Gary

[@thomasgrimes339]

For all those people who asked the question, "why do I have to take all that math, I'll never use it". This is why. Thank you for reminding us that there is science behind many of our art pieces. This turn out so beautiful.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Thomas. Yes math is very important in our lives. I figured out in the 7th grade I really loved math.

No apology needed... you haven't seen my shop! Beautiful turning Gary. I've read some about multi-axis turning and watched some of Barbra Dill's turnings that are mostly multi-axis. As always thanks for the great video!

Thank you very much Rob. Happy New Year! Gary

[@raydriver7300]

What a lovely little vase. More years ago than I care to remember I had a Mazda RX3 and the ends looks like the piston from a wankel engined. Talking of woodwork at school, I remember my first day walking into the classroom 62! years ago and, right across the top of the blackboard were the words: accidents don’t happen, they are caused 🌞

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ray and funny thing is I had a 1971 Mazda I bought new. When I tell people they assumed it was the RX3. Nope That was the same year that I smelled the Deft in the paint room. Wow were those fumes strong LOL We may have had the same shop teacher or they were brothers because I think we had that sign. They did not want to let people take shop class all 4 years but they let me if I was willing to be an assistant to the teacher helping the freshman. I got to work on anything I wanted in-between. Take care, Gary

[@STMwoodturning]

Gary, Of all the off-center turning videos I’ve watched over the years, this is the first one I’ve liked. The tri sided vase you made has some appeal to me beyond the gorgeous walnut wood. This is the only thing I’ve seen made this way that I would consider making. Thanks for finally showing something practical. Stuart

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you so much Stuart...now I want to go make another one LOL. Actually I do but out of a bigger piece with more taper. Take care, Gary

Just watched it again, Gary. It's still a trochoid and still fascinating. Expecting my lathe in two weeks, followed by six months of trial, error, ambulance rides and emergency surgeries, but by this time next year I might actually be turning out similar works that would pass for hand carved.😇. Keep those chips flying, I've got two weeks left to cram. And again, thank you ever so much for loving this craft enough to share it with the great unwashed We.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Carson. I am sure you will really enjoy the lathe. Hope those ambulance rides are not going to be from using that lathe. Take care, Gary

Nice Gary, I was lost until you drilled the hole and I could see it from the top. 🙂 then it all made sense.

Top job Gary. It came out fantastic. Enjoyed watching the clip as always. I can only sit back and enjoy you tube at the moment as had a slight accident and damaged the tendon on my index finger so I'm out of action for a while as it repairs. Decided to go back over a few old clips and make a list of projects for when I'm able to get back into it. Bandsaws can bite even when you have a healthy respect for them.

[@ThePapa1947]

Sorry to hear about your accident Bruce and hope all heals well and quickly. Have fun with that list of things you ar making. Take care, Gary

[@barry.w.christie]

I love when someone does a piece and mentions where they got their inspiration from ... it shows their integrity and appreciation for the other and that it led to them attempting their own version, which I'm sure is just as impressive ... you in turn have now inspired others ... thank you for sharing 👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Barry. Everything we do has come from somewhere. I did a very cool turning last year. It was tangent staves. I saw in a old wood turning magazine and mentioned it. Only to find out it had been done in a very very old Popular Mechanics magazine. All were slightly different including mine. I like to use someone's ideas and try to put my own touch on it. Thanks for watching and your comments. Gary

[@54lespaul3]

What a very pleasing shape and lovely wood grain!! I really like it. The cross section looks like a Wankel (rotary engine) piston cross section. Very cool! Thanks for the trig lesson as well. Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Rick and for sure it does look like one. I had a 1972 Mazda but it was not a rotary. Take care, Gary

[@Dgreencouch29]

Very nice mid century modern piece. I initially thought a base might be nice, but I like it better with out one.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Happy you liked how it turned out. Gary

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

This vase is simply beautiful! I love that finish on that wood. It’s not flashy, it’s satiny and that goes perfectly well with that wood.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Mary. For sure some things look best with a more satin finish. But then somethings really look good with lots of shine. At least for me they do. Take care, Gary

Love it! I am recovering from torn rotator cuff surgery after taking a tumble in the shop, so watching videos and learning new tricks! Note to shop folks: don’t use your arm to break your fall! Fall on your bottom!

Sorry to hear this. Also do not use your fact to break the fall either. I had both hands full once and managed to do that. Not hard fall but cut my eyebrow.

[@jimbalz3017]

Nice piece! I've never done an off-axis turning. This may be my inspiration.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jim and this is a good one to start on. Best of luck, Gary

[@jerrystark3587]

Nicely done! Thanks, 👍👍 BTW: If you ever make a three-legged stool, using this technique to turn the legs looks really cool. A woodworker's shop with stuff on the floor? OMG! What is this world coming to? 😎 Flashback Alert: I also used Deft lacquer for the first time in one of my high school shop classes -- almost sixty years ago, circa 1965. My senior project in 1967 -- a drafting table -- was finished with Deft. I still use Deft and my brother still uses the table. Deft works beautifully for the interior of boxes and drawers because it finishes silky smooth and it does not leave a residual smell like oil finishes do. Great stuff whether you brush it on or spray it on. Final Thought: Trigonometry and Geometry RULE!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Jerry. You have brought back some good memories. In high school shop class I made one of my sisters a desk, another a china hutch and yet another a sewing machine cabinet. Guess what I used for the finish...ahh shucks you already knew DEFT!!! All brushed on back then. I recall the first time I stepped into the finish room the smell was very strong of Deft. And for sure Trigonometry and Geometry sure does rule. i made my living using it almost everyday. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@jerrystark3587]

@@ThePapa1947 You remind me of my stepfather, who was a Master Carpenter and a contractor. Like you, he was so accomplished in woodwork that as a Junior in high school he was given his own key to the school shop. He made excellent reproductions of classical furniture when he was 16. You and he make me feel like a complete slacker. 😎

Great project...I love the shape and the grain!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Carol. That piece has gorgeous grain. I cut this off a piece I have had for years. The other end is much wider . It was an odd piece I got at a yard sale or garage sale. I have other odd pieces I got at other sales and need to make something out of one of them. Still have not figured out what kind of wood it is. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@TheMessyStudio]

It came out very nice indeed, Gary! You go ahead and use your trig... I'll stick to my no math method... lol.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Billy. We had one foundry we built patterns for that insisted we used trig to lay out the angles on some large angled cable guides. I have very expensive protractors but nope...use trig. And for sure it is the most accurate way to do it. I bet I could have used Segment Calculator 2 or WoodTurnerPro and got those numbers. But that is cheating LOL

[@michaelmangione8359]

I'm fascinated by the shape the end profile reminds me of the triquetra, an ancient Celtic knot formed by the intersection of three vesica piscis. While some might find deep religious roots in these symbols, to me they are more representative of ancient mathematical proofs all the way back to Euclid. Amazing, because it never occurred me that this could be done on a lathe. Thanks again for another great video!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Michael! I never thought of it looking like at Celtic knot but you are right. Thanks for bringing that up. I find that shape very interseting. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Gary. No steady rest for this one. When I saw this pop up, the first thing I thought of was Billy's video. Another tip. When you draw your circle, you can use the radius to step off six equal spaces on the circumference. I'm sure you knew this but the math was probably more fun. I like the lazy man's way for me. lol Bill

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bill. Yes I mentioned stepping the dividers around. The way we made segments at work was to draw the radius and set dividers or trammels(some rings were 6 foot diameter) on the radius and make points then draw straight lines to the center. This gave the length of the segments. All cut on the bandsaw and then sanded on the disk sander. Way to large for the yet to be invented Wedgie Sled. So for sure I knew that trick. Works ok for marking segments but not for creating exact lines. Especially if you are bisecting using the point of a set of dividers. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@TBlanktim]

Happy to see you using equations in your layout. I'm a carpenter/builder and use Trigonometry all the time. Ran into an old trig teacher and thanked him because of how much easier it makes my job.

Nice job Gary. Basically you've produced a tapered 3 sided vessel. Next challenge is for you to twist it (and taper it) by making the axes1,2; 2,3 and 3,1.

[@malbun3275]

Hi Gary What a neat little vase. On the maths side of things I was ok until at high school they introduced Algebra,why call a banana A and an orange B couldn’t get to grips with it at all,then they pulled Geometry out hell that flew way over my head,I guess I was lucky to turn fifteen and was able to finish up school the day of my birthday and start a carpentry apprenticeship that I had set up with a local building firm. Oh the joys of dealing with feet and inches I loved it. Guess what came next Metric measure! That took a bit of getting used to ,but proved to be much easier. So thats my take on geometry,thankfully we never got into trigonometry,but being a self employed builder for 65 years I was glad when they pre cut roof members made roof trusses it took all the guess work out of it for me. Happy near year to you and yours really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your maths Regards from a very wet N Z

[@ThePapa1947]

I was in advanced math in the 7th grade so when I went to high school they put me in Algebra. I hated it but I think the teacher was one of the reasons. When I found geometry I got my love of math back. Using it in my work as a wood pattern maker it was very important and now I still use it in what I do. And I served a 5 year apprentice ship where I found out how important it was. People used to say once you become a journeyman the learning really starts. I have to say that was true.

I’ve also used the Deft Lacquer for years. It’s a great product and the spray tip is by far superior to those that spray a round spray pattern. I really like the vase you turned it boggles my mind how that works but I watched it so it does. I’m tipping my hat to you sir.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Dale. Yes Deft is the best I have used. When I first started using it you could only get it as a brush on. If you wanted to spray in a gun then you thinned it down. Which I used to do as well. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@anthonyperry5227]

The finish which you applied again took me back to my early years - where the finishes I used were either meths, cellulose, or shellac based. Now the majority of finishes are water based. OK I can understand reasons why this is, but having retired to Bulgaria under EU rules as well as poor timber allocation the finishes available for wood leaves much to be desired. My finishes now revolves around a mix of bees and canuba wax which I mix myself. By the way I am blessed to have a large walnut and maple tree on my property which both get smaller every year to keep me occupied with my projects. Also lovely to see you use trigonometry in such a way. Last year I showed a Bulgarian "craftsman" the use of my sine bar. He almost considered it magic!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Anthony. We are lucky to have a lot of choices for finish. I do like the water based poly as well. So I remember as an apprentice using the tangent button on a calculator. It made laying out angle so easy and they were always exact. Then another trick using trammels to make a perfect right angle to a line. Used both of those for years. I find it all very exciting even to this day. That was all just like magic. Then learning how to lay out any size radius I needed using the chord length and height . I showed that to many other pattern makers and they just was understanding all the step. Made some perfect radius up to 300 inches for some patterns. Nobody has trammels that long. Although I had a 8 foot bar for one set I had. Thanks for watching, Gary

Your shop floor and mine look about the same just now. Drives me nuts to work in a mess but just when I was going to stop and clean up, a chunk of neglected oak caught my eye and I was off and running on the next turning. I truly love getting ideas and techniques with your patternmakers spin (pun intended) on things. Thanks, as always.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Michael. You had me worried when you said the Oak caught your eye. Then I put it all together. I have the same issue. I finish one thing and I want to get going right away. I did pick a few things up today while I had something fun running. Maybe pick a piece of wood to turn tomorrow. Take care, Gary

Thank you Garth. If I had not used it through out my working career I doubt I would have remembered it. Thanks for watching, Gary

Gary, I have never tried multi axis turning… it looks like an interesting process. The finished product looks great. That Deft makes it look very good👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Skip. They are lots of fun to do. Yes I do love my Deft lacquer!!! Thanks for watching, Gary

Nicely done Gary that’s a pretty neat looking piece! I would have never noticed that mess in the floor if ya wouldn’t have pointed it out, It’s hard not to make a mess when working, after I clean up a little another pile of stuff seems just to appear sometimes Lol, Enjoyed the video, Beautiful picture of the dunes to 👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Kimsey it was fun to do. It seems like one mess gets moved to another spot and not thrown away..LOL We used to go to the dunes a lot and ride our quads. There are some big steep dunes down there and lots of fun. Have not done that for a few years now. Take care, Gary

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful. The multi-axis turning seems to be the thing right now. Wish I had recorded mine. No matter, I’ll get the next one recorded and posted. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Doug. I have only noticed Billy's but they do come and go. My favorite type is when the other axis is 90 degrees from the first. Those are fun. Take care, Gary

[@tompuskar4426]

Nice piece Gary. You really did a great job with an otherwise plain looking piece of walnut. Nice finis. I dabbled with multi axis turning a few years ago and created some interesting pieces. You can really get some funky stuff when you combine multi axis with offest turning. Hope you will give it a try. Happy New Year!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Tom. I have done a lot of multi axis turnings but most have been turned on one axis and then rotated 90 degrees. Rather than different centers like this. Here is one of my favorites. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHvNfJxtep1lmNk&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Tom. I have done a lot of multi axis but most have been turned one direction and then rotated 90 degrees. Much harder than this one. Check this out if you have not seen it.... Gary kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHvNfJxtep1lmNk&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
