#31 Basket Weave Illusion Effect

[@sparkydoodles4440]

All your hard work paid off. The piece is beautiful!!!😊

[@dmaschy599]

Nothing like looking and admiring the work that you have done.Personal satisfaction.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Great bowl. Thanks for the tip on the polar graph paper. I've just made a bowl and completed the pyro and was struggling with visualising designs.

[@woodchuck1]

Very, very nice. Andrew...you are a man of patience...

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Mike. It nearly started to drive me nuts, but really happy with the result. Now back to normality. Cheers. Andrew

[@PaulLockwood]

It's surprising really how much time these sort of things take. You imagine a few hours but in the end it take 3 or 4 times more than you expect. Carl Jacobson recently did a video on a cutter for this type of thing. Was nice to see how it's done manually without any special extras. Came out really nice. Well done!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Paul. Once I started it I just couldn't let it beat me. It eas definitely interesting and I might apply the technique in small quantities in future. Take care. Andrew

[@Englandforever001]

Fantastic Andrew

[@learningturningmetal]

Thanks mate!

[@jeremycoxon7098]

Nice to see a fellow Yorkshireman's pride at work. Very well done sir. I live in the US now, but I went to an art show last summer where there was a fellow selling these sort of bowls for $2000-3000 a pop. The 'artist' (he didn't want to be considered as a woodworker, understandably I suppose) told me that it can take him 2-3 weeks to complete a bowl/platter. He was using a lot of Native American patterns - you might want to investigate them as they are very much in the same style as what you produced. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and congratulations on turning out such a fantastic piece of art. Cheers!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

H Jeremy - I really appreciate the feedback. I would probably get £5 for mine in Yorkshire! Ha ha. I've since sold all my woodturning gear and I now make stationary steam engines. A bit more rewarding and something to play with when finished. All the best. Andrew

[@dmaschy599]

I've seen this before but never tried it.I think I will give it a try or a go.Thanks.

[@learningturningmetal]

Great - I hope it turns out well. Cheers Andrew

[@icespeckledhens]

Its an excellent bowl, very tedious but well worth the effort. Yandles now stock razertip burners and the beading tips. Thanks James

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks for the info James. I've now moved into model engineering, but the info might be of use to others. Cheers Andrew

[@icespeckledhens]

@@tiddlerfromtad Oh, good luck with model engineering.

[@Sea-Dog5496]

Hello Andrew. I just watched your video on the basket weave bowl. Superb job on getting it completed. Lots of work, but nice piece when all done. I have seen a few other KZbinrs produce a bowl with the same technique. One small tip to save you some time if you do another. When marking the layout lines on the lathe, using your pencil as a height gauge to mark the front and rear at the same time, slide across to the opposite side at least on the front and mark it also. Doing the back side on the opposite would be a pain. But marking the front on both sides of the lathe you only have to mark 1/2 as many lines. One half rotation while marking all across the plate will save you a lot of time for layout lines. Just food for thought.

[@barrycook4690]

Well Andrew you deserve a medel for your patience on that platter and a grand finish,and the beading tools not bad to boot all the best

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Barry. Although the piece is quite small I don't think I would have the appitite to tackle something similar again. I just couldn't believe it when the finish went cloudy. After many hours of working on the base and then a 10 second spray of lacquer nearly ruined it. I love the result, but happy to get back to some proper turning. ☺ Take care. Andrew

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

This and your pewter inlay pieces are some of the most unique and inspirational pieces I've seen. Your pewter video caused me to fall down a rabbit hole that Lewis Carroll himself would admire.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Wow Jimmie, what can I say? Thank you so much for such kind feedback. Cheers. Andrew

[@donnicholas4713]

Andrew, that platter is simply beautiful, expertly done!!! I am glad you showed burning the initial bead lines, I was afraid the shape of the beads would be altered. I look forward to viewing your latest videos. Thanks for posting this video. I found it very informative and expertly done. Cheers Don

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Don, many thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found it useful. Cheers. Andrew

[@rontocknell3592]

Beautiful job!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Ron - I've since taken up model engineering (learning turning metal channel) and had to drop my interest in woodturning (no time to do both). I've just viewed the video again and it brings back some great memories. I really enjoyed my journey learning to turn wood. All the best. Andrew

[@Bramsshed1913]

Excellent piece Andrew and the end result worth the time and effort, superbly demonstrated! Cheers, Bram

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Bram. Much appreciated. Hope the shoulder is getting better. Take care. Cheers. Andrew

[@Mac2474]

Well Done Andrew!! You certainly have more patience than me! Turned out very well and you've added a new skill to you armoury.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Mac. It certainly tested my patience but I just couldn't let it beat me. How some folks produce large vases time after time is beyond belief. Cheers. andrew

[@paullawless6044]

Great piece of work Andrew great video

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Paul. Pleased you like the vid and little platter. Cheers. Andrew

[@pamelathomas5676]

Very impressive result after all that work and patience Andrew - it was worth it!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Pamela. It's definitely the piece I am most prowd of. However due to the amount of work involved I will definitely think twice before attempting another. Cheers. Andrew

[@jimbembinster]

Very well done, I am going to try this. Thanks for the video.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Jim - you must have the patience of a saint taking something like this on. Very rewarding once completed though and I would never part with mine. I hope it turns out well. Good luck! Cheers Andrew

[@confused837]

Fantastic what patience.

[@donfillenworth1721]

I just found your KZbin channel. That’s a beautiful dish! Your video was a delight to watch. I’m subscribing to see more. Thanks for sharing.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Don - many thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I have decided to drop woodturning as a hobby, as model engineering has now taken over my life. My woodturning channel will still remain, as I hope some of my videos will inspire others to have a go. Cheers Andrew

[@HGANGHONY]

Beautiful

[@learningturningmetal]

Thanks Gary - probably one of my best pieces. I've since moved on to model engineering - great fun! Merry Christmas. Andrew

[@janekokoszko7525]

An impressive piece of work. Thank you very much.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Jane. It's the one I am most proud of, but I don't think I have the patience to make another. Glad you are enjoying woodturning vids. All the best. Andrew

[@kylewo0]

Any updates to this process , ? I see this was posted 6yrs ago.. and was about to give it a go. Thank you for the Inspiration sir!

[@learningturningmetal]

It was a very satisfying item to make. I've since moved on to model engineering.

[@jimscott7963]

Andrew, thank you for sharing your work and doing the video. Well done. I too am turning 'baskets' and am on project #6. Labor of love!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Jim. You must have the patience of a saint! I am thinking of another little project where I am hoping to apply some basket weave. It might turn out to be a disaster but I will publish a video of it nevertheless. Good luck with your basket projects. Cheers. Andrew

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Andrew, Nice piece. I like it.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Lee. Thank you for the feedback. Very much appreciated. Cheers. Andrew

[@leksey7870]

Andrew's a great idea! Very beautiful bowl!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Аleksey!

[@JimsonMakes]

Brilliant Andrew, you must be delighted with the result, looks amazing. Cheers, Jim

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Jim. Yep I'm very happy with it. I wonder if its possible to turn beads on Milliput? I might give that a try sometime. Take care. Cheers. Andrew

[@JimsonMakes]

Milliput is easy to bead, if anything a little too easy. Very easy to overcut it. Cheers, Jim

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Jim. I will have to give it a try! Cheers. Andrew

[@paulcleary3289]

Hi Andrew, As a new subscriber to your channel, and as a fellow Yorkshireman, I am completely awe inspired by some of the work which you have produced and which are an inspiration to me as a woodturner returning to the craft after some 50 years. Amazing! Keep on Keepin' on! Best wishes P

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Wow P - I am gob smacked! However, I do think this is the best piece I have created so far but I really need to up my game after spending a couple of weeks turning pens for Christmas presents. I am really happy that it's helped inspire you and I hope you have great fun turning again. The great thing with this hobby is that it can also create a mental challenge trying to figure out the best process to follow in creating something. Unfortunately, there always seems to be another gadget that needs to be purchased - but that's also fun! Thanks for subscribing. Cheers Andrew

[@kabaarantau8309]

Thank you for sharing ,Subbed.Please keep coming with this kind of beauty.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Kabaa. I'm really pleased you like it. Probably my favourite, but it took forever! Thanks for subscribing. Cheers Andrew

[@OrdinaryDude]

I had that 18v Bosch drill. After our DIY whole home remodel, it gave out in a puff of fowl smelling smoke and a shower of sparks. I used it a LOT in the 1.5 years I had it though, so despite the $100 US price tag, I feel I got my money's worth.

[@ChurchClown7]

Very nice 👍

[@sonnyone3101]

Enjoyed your video very much. Nice work!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Sonny. Many thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers. Andrew

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Great project, Andrew!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hey Rick - thank you so much. Cheers. Andrew

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Very nice piece. I thought I had patience but you must have buckets of the stuff. Must get myself to the Yorkshire show ☺

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Stephen. I think I used up all my patience on that one piece! Hope you have a great time at the show. Cheers. Andrew

[@stewartfurini]

Nice video, Andrew - thanks for sharing. I'll check out the links you've given too! Cheers

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Stewart. I'm glad you found it of interest. Thanks for subscribing. Cheers. Andrew

[@stewartfurini]

My pleasure. Do you take part in sticker swaps. I see a few I recognise in your workshop...

[@tiddlerfromtad]

I sure do. If you send me a private message with your address, I'll reply with mine and we can swap stickers. Cheers. Andrew

[@johnmccormack9220]

Andrew, great video lovely piece 👍

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks John. Much appreciated. Cheers. Andrew

[@thewoodman6039]

thank you. really amazing piece. Love it.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thank you thewoodman. I'm really pleased you like it. It was quite a challenge. I can't believe that some people have the patience to produce pieces 2 or 3 times the size. Cheers. Andrew

[@hypnoraythompson5824]

great stuff

[@tweakerkid]

Don't quite get the washer offset thing?

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Very nicely done👍 The Coyote Woodshop Hutto, Texas 🇺🇸

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Cortland. It is definately the piece I am most proud of. Have a great day! Andrew

[@hraun2berg]

It is marvelous, beautiful, A+++😆😆 great. Júlíus

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Júlíus. Much appreciated. Cheers. Andrew

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

I dont like it I love it,haha great video. I dont have an indexing on my lathe so not sure how to do that but I might try it anyway

[@learningturningmetal]

Thanks Maryke

[@John_C999]

Wow well done Andrew it looks fabulous. Have you ever plaited fog 🙌🙌 Thanks for the video Regards John

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks John. It was certainly challenging. Many thanks for the feedback. Cheers. Andrew

[@divalea]

Your graphics are charming. 🐳

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Lea!

[@DashDrones]

Awesome work, loving the channel. Subbed!

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hey, thank you so much - and thanks for subscribing. Cheers. Andrew

[@Murzington]

if instead of going from the center out you just went all the way across wouldn't you only need to move it 18 times instead of 36?

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Murzington. That is a very good idea. If I ever build up courage to do another, I will give it a try. Cheers. Andrew

[@satyr997]

What an amazing patience and exactness - Anglo-Saxon ancestry? ;-)

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Ha ha - thanks mate. Probably the best piece I made before taking up model engineering. Cheers Andrew

[@dmaschy599]

After looking at that pattern you might get confused are even see double.

[@irknatos]

art

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Thanks Irknatos. It is definately the most artistic piece I have attempted so far. Cheers. Andrew

[@mjn55128]

I feel like I’m going to have nightmares about being in hell and forced to color in those little squares all day and all night forever and ever. Absolutely beautiful results though!

[@learningturningmetal]

Ha ha thanks Michael.

[@rsmolens]

beautiful bowl...awfull video. music blocks instructions; too simplistic instructions

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi rsmolens - thanks for the feedback. Cheers. Andrew
