Wood Turning Planned Chaos at the Band Saw

[@iJackGa]

Someone can't imagine we started with flat wood, 👏🏽👏🏽

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. It is a fun and efficient way to make a bowl. Take care, Gary

[@reginadelahoussaye853]

This process was just amazing. You have me hooked at watching your videos.

[@ThePapa1947]

Hey that is great news that I go you hooked. Looking forward to hearing from you and I do my best to answer all comments. I appreciate you watching AND subscribing, Gary

[@judithflow3131]

I love the combination of woods and how the swirls turn out in the bowl (and it could obviously be done with any number of different woods). But, what I like even better, is how this system of cutting out those rings and then stacking them saves a lot of wood. Why waste 3-4 feet of lumber on a project that could be done with less than one? Using a variety of angles for the cutout, it'd even be possible to change the shape of the bowl. Definitely glad I watched this video: two relatively easy to grasp tricks in one.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Judith. With the waste of wood and the cost this method really does make sense. Happy you enjoyed the video. Gary

Never imagined that I would subscribe to a wood turning channel - turned many artefacts from a ten foot former for part of a roof construction in fibre-glass, to segmented pieces, to complex patterns for lamp posts, to miniature boxes - but you have given me ideas. Just proves someone is never too old to learn. I think I must be about three years older than your good self. It is a credit to you!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Anthony and it sounds like you have done a lot of what I have done. I also have turned many large patterns. Some were going to be dome shapes cast in titanium and many forms for making fiberglass parts. We also made many patterns from lamp post and fancy cover plates for a place called Pioneer Square here in Portland. You sound as though you are a former pattern maker as well? Thanks for watching, Gary

Fascinating process, beautiful results! Just bought a used Nova 1624 in good shape (& at a good price!) to replace my ancient Craftsman 1st lathe. Can't wait to do some turning of a more serious nature & hope to get proficient enough to try one of these. You explain the procedure quite well, Sir. (And BTW, thank you SO MUCH for not contaminating your videos with a music bed!)

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. You will enjoy the new used lathe you bought. I did a lot of turning on one of those old Craftsman lathes. I had one I rewired the motor so it could turn in reverse. I did that just for sanding. When I first started making videos I did not know what to do so I did have music but soon figured out that just did not fit. Plus it was extra work to put it in. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@OldMtnGeezer]

Thanks for the response. Turned a simple little bowl last night from a piece of Ponderosa Pine from the firewood pile just to get acquainted with the Nova & am quite pleased. What a difference! (Got a "slightly used" Craftsman I could sell you. Make ya a deal! 😉) @@ThePapa1947

Lacquer enhances the grain, very clever how you designed and executed

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Philp and yes it does enhance the grain. But the main reason is the only way I have found of keeping Padauk from bleeding it's color to the other wood was a few very light coats of lacquer sprayed on. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary

You make this look so simple, Gary yet the wood turns into art in your talented hands. Not sure I could pull it off and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the camera! I'll just stick to banging around with the gouge and rocks. As always, you achieved a spectacular finish! You have such patience with the multiple coats required to get there. The Acks does a great job, too. Fantastic job, my friend, keep'em coming! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil...it was a snap quiz to make sure everyone listens to my other videos LOL. Nothing at all wrong with banging around the gouge and rocks. You are the pro of that for sure. I do have a couple of dirt filled chunks of wood I plan on turning soon. I may have to sharpen up my 3/4 bowl shovel! The lacquer dries so fast the only patience I need is letting the last coat dry really good before using the Acks on it. Most of the time I try and let it sit over night. The experts say to wait a week. Yeah right! Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
