Wood Turning A Shelf Into A Bowl - NO JOKE

[@jonmartineau1004]

Just amazing Gary ! A bowl from a shelf . It is a great pleasure watching create !

[@ThePapa1947]

Many thanks Jon, happy you enjoyed the video. Take care, Gary

@@ThePapa1947 If you only knew how much I enjoy your videos . I have learned a lot from you even through the head aches 😅 . You are one talented guy Gary . I'm a retired journeyman carpenter and I must say I have never had to use some of the math you do on these projects . Thanks again and happy turning .

[@ThePapa1947]

@@jonmartineau1004 Sorry about the headaches! I seem to try and give them to myself at times. So I am retired journeyman wood pattern maker so I used that math daily. Just sketched another one out and I promised to make a video that clears this up and should make it easier. Thanks again, Gary

[@gregj2647]

Enjoyable video. Interesting to see that a BOB does not have to have straight sides. Thanks for the video

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Greg! You also do not need to lay the lines out ahead of time but it does help to have an idea of how small the base will be. Thanks for watcing, Gary

[@crystalswenson8844]

Professor Gary does it again. It is a simple, beautiful bowl--that isn't so simple to make.

Great plans and use of “utilitarian” scrap wood made into a nice bowl.

Thanks so much and I hate to waste any wood even if it spent its live as a shelf. Thanks for watching, Gary

My friends call me 'cheap,' but I prefer the term 'frugal.' Free wood is a bonus for sure. To make a bowl from a free board is the epitome of being frugal. Nice job, Gary! I'll have to try your sanding slurry method for filling cracks. I'll bet it may also work for filling tear-out on end-grain spalted alder, which is my most difficult finishing job. Thanks for another interesting project video! --Paul

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Paul, I am considered cheap by some myself. Maybe it is the fact I will spend an hour making something I could go buy for less than $1.00. But I just am not fond of going shopping LOL. I think the sanding method would work great for tear-out. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Lots of great tips in this video, Gary! I love the slurry tip for filling small cracks. Easy enough to do and such a big difference! It's hard to beat free wood from a garage sale and turning it into a beautiful, good sized bowl. Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil. The way the slurry filled all the open grain of the Oak was a real bonus. Sure did change the look. I love free stuff but have also found some very nice hardwood for a good price at garage sales as well. You will be seeing another garage sale find in an upcoming video as well. Hint....it is not made of wood! Thanks for watching my friend and take care, Gary

[@markmcclellan427]

Gary, I am trying my darndest to make a bowl from a board but I can't seem to get past first base. My problem is first off is the board wobbling upon the first mount on the lathe. I have three blow ups and thought maybe you might have a suggestion. I watch you and actually others on the web simply hot glue a sacrificial plug to the board place it in the chuck and take only a couple of passes to flatten out the board true. I got so paranoid this last time I put a caliper on the plug and made sure it was the same thickness all around it was 2 1/4'x3/4" I planed the boards to 0.752" and worked hard to have a flat glue up 12"x12"x3/4". I cut it in a circle on the band saw then put it on the lathe and there was a 1/8" wobble from one side to the other when I checked it on the lathe. My trigonometry says that is one about a 1 degree off. Yet when I begin to try and flatten the board it is like bouncing a ball with the gouge and by the time I get it flat I am down to 0.560" and if I were to flatten the other side it would be even thinner. It is so thin it is useless to try and make rings for a bowl. I know talent or lack there of is a big part of the problem but how the hell do you set a flat board and get it to turn so true it only takes a couple of passes and certainly very little wood loss? If you have any suggestions at all I sure would appreciate them. Thanks Mark McClellan Beaumont, TX

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Mark, this might help. Make sure the board is flat that you are hot gluing the tenon on. If it is just a flat board it should be easy. But if it is some sort of a glue up then I will flatten on side on my disk sander and then mount it up and flatten the other side on the lathe. Then fasten the tenon on what will be the bottom. You should now have a flat board to cut rings from. If you want you can email me and it might be easier. You can find my email in my About Page. Let me know, Gary

[@glencrandall8334]

The first bowl I ever turned was a bowl from a board. That was in the mid 1970's. I made my initial cuts with a sabre saw. The were very crude but the bowl turned well enough and I still have it. It was the only BFB I have ever made. A few years ago I attempted a BFB using the bandsaw but it was not successful and I gave up on it. Now using your technique and fixtures I am about to try again. Your piece from the shelf board is quite nice. It's a pretty piece of wood. Thank you for demonstrating how to put a little shape into the bowl. Also your method of filling and concealing small cracks is very interesting. That technique will be useful in the future. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ThePapa1947]

I did a few with the bandsaw and just felt there had to be a better way. I still have a couple pieces of that Oak shelf to use for something. Take care, Gary

[@knothead5]

Very good and like the descriptions of the cutting angles and why they work for a slight contour on the outside. I have a small piece of walnut trophy base that just shouts, "Make me into a bowl!"

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much! Funny every time I walk past a piece of wood it yells Turn Me! Thanks for watching, Gary

[@tompuskar4426]

Nice bowl, Gary. Even better since the wood was free!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Tom. Free is always a good price. After getting back from the hardwood store and thinking about how much it cost I may need to look for some more free shelves LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@donaldadams5342]

You're a bit harsh Gary, asking us to pick our favourite type of turning. I for one, find all of your turnings fascinating both to watch & to listen to. Your commentary, while different in its own rite, is very similar to Phil in that you both take us into your innermost thoughts & reasons for doing what you are doing & why. This applies to every single turning that you do. I love this bowl not only for its own individuality but also because you made it even though it had a lot of little cracks, cracks that you were able to show your 'magic treatment' on. Lovely bowl, lovely finish too so thanks for sharing. Stay safe & well in these still troublesome times. Don from South Aust.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Don. My whole time working as a pattern maker I talk to myself about what my next steps would be. But I talked out loud. People thought I was nuts but that is how I figured things out. My wife had to get used to that after I retired and she would come out in the shop and ask who I was talking to. So that is more or less what I am doing now but I try to be clear about what I am saying and keep the language clean LOL. Just kidding on that part. Be safe as well my friend, Gary

Good evening, Gary. Excellent video. I have had folks ask where they can find wood to turn. They do not have access to trees. I hope to make a bowl from a shelve, like you demonstrated, so these turners can also make a bowl from a board. Very helpful. Your wet sanding slurry is also a great tip. Thanks for your instructional videos.

Thank you Ray. I have been trying to figure out how to use that old shelf. At first I thought about segments but I like this better. But I still have either 2 or 3 pieces left. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thanks for the tip with the sanding sealer and the parting tool. Your videos are very informative. Also, I made a ring press using your picture as a guide.

Thank you very much. It is very handy for sure. I just made a video showing how my press is made. Thanks for watching. Gary
