Turning A Bowl From A Redwood Tree

Peter tells himself not to do it, then gives the "What could possibly go wrong?" spiel . Bowl yeets at 90% . Gotta love the classics.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I totally cursed it.

[@minecafe]

ikr! 🙃

[@domramsey]

Looks great, Peter! Of course, the funny thing to do would be to make a 1 inch bowl and present it to your neighbour saying it's all you could get from that log.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Haha

[@tiffanyjennings1159]

When your bowl dropped and you showed the damage, my crochet brain was like “ooooh, now he’s got the perfect yarn bowl!” Seriously, PB, the crochet and knitting community would buy hand turned yarn bowls faster than you could make them! My current yarn bowl is a big old 1970s wooden serving bowl that I grabbed at the thrift store and carved with my dremel. Yours would be much lovelier and you could combine wood and resin to make some neat designs. I’d love to see you turn the Loki bowl into a yarn bowl! (Talking about the kind that has a spiral cut out to feed yarn through for fiber crafts, not the decorative kind that doesn’t actually do anything)

[@DawnShipley1977]

I have never understood those bowls...I always pull my skeins from the center and rarely ball a skein of yarn.

[@kitarkaarastis6993]

@@DawnShipley1977 Depends on how you buy your yarn. If it's the twisted hanks, then balling is a must. I'll also ball my hollowed-out skeins once they start to turn messy. I don't have a yarn bowl yet, but I can definitely see using once rather than having to chase after a ball once it invariably starts rolling away from you.

[@tiffanyjennings1159]

Yes. If you buy yarn from indie dyers, it comes in hanks and must be caked or balled. And not all skeins are center pull. I also find that my cats leave my yarn alone a lot more when it is on my bowl. But to each their own. I’ve been crocheting for 30+ years and only discovered yarn bowls about 4 years ago. It’s a nice tool to have.

[@camo_customs_7163]

Thankfully I’m not the only one that thought yarn bowl then 👏🏻 An I ain’t no knitter…. 😂

[@DawnShipley1977]

I can understand making a ball from the yarn in hanks. I haven't had the opportunity to use that kind of yarn because it is either to expensive or it is made of wool which I am allergic to. In the past I have thought of making yarn bowl out of ceramics.

[@MrDieselfrost]

I've had metal come off a metal lathe before. It's terrifying.

[@NorseButterfly]

When the bowl flew off the lathe, my jaw literally dropped. In my head I could see it in several pieces. I'm thankful my imagination was just fiction. The bowl looks gorgeous!

im working as a lumberjack and seeing someone make something so nice out of what i would see as just a very simple chunk of wood i can get anyday, idk it just amazes me. im trying to convince my workplace to get a wood lathe in our workshop

[@dawsie]

Hope you get one, I think it’s a great idea and good way to decompress after spending all that time cutting down the trees to see something other than lumber for building.

[@matthewbowers88]

Hi Peter, it's 3am in the UK and I've just had a light bulb moment. The vacuum hose... It needs googly eyes, a character outfit and a name. I've just watched the charcoal bowl video again. One of my favourites.

[@gregstarnes9135]

Now tale the shavings mix with a cool color resin and make another bowl

[@TurningwithTulip]

For finishing on a cole jaw with a carbide tool I use the sheer scraping technique. Holding the tool at an angle of 30-45° on the tool rest makes it cut instead of scraping and thus is less aggressive. I've found this greatly reduces the likelihood it'll jump off the lathe. Love your stuff, you're the reason I got into wood turning

[@mugtheif]

Seeing this and the behind the scenes testing done for Gummy Bear Axe Handle 2.0 made me appreciate how much patience many of your projects take, and how much waiting or just patient careful work is condensed down for these videos. I really do appreciate seeing it, it helps my brain a lot to have reminders that crafting things just takes time and that's okay. Very fun video, beautiful bowl, thank you Peter!

[@matthewbowers88]

How amazing is Peter as a neighbour! What a lovely thing to do.

[@GeauT]

Peter, I love your work. I appreciate that you show the mistakes and talk about them. I also appreciate that you talk about the importance of therapy.

[@tracybowling1156]

I love the woodgrain on that bowl! You really can't get more beautiful than that! I remember going on a trip to Sequoia National Forest with my Dad. He died last year, but I'll always remember seeing the Redwoods with him.

[@kermehderg]

Lots of love, @PeterBrownwastaken! Your videos don’t come often, but when they do, I nearly drop everything to watch them. Great job getting over the stigma of therapy. I’ve been going for about 7 years and it’s helped me be the man and father I am today. Keep up the good work!

[@FishersShop]

2:13 = Proof that Peter taught Chris Evans' Capt. America everything he knows. Great video, Peter. It was really neat seeing the entire process.

[@tommyozzy317]

Had a similar thing happen to me while making my sons popcorn bowl. Flew off a similar holder, hit me on the top of the head and smashed onto the floor. Found all the pieces and glued it back together and finished it. Didnt come out too bad considering.

[@matthewmccalister5594]

I love how it turned out! The stripes are mesmerizing 😍

[@MichaelCoolidge]

Thank you so much. I just finished turning some bowls for my father-in-law from a white oak he cut down in his yard a while ago. I could have used several of the lessons you taught me in this video. Thank you for getting back to turning wood!

[@Typersx1]

Looks much bigger that 30 feet sir.

[@whiskerwoods]

Use tape - packing tape with the strings in it works well - to help hold the bowl on the Cole Jaws. Won't totally prevent it from coming out, but it generally gives you enough time to get the late stopped before the bowl goes flying.

[@reesewoodworks]

Love it!! One of my favorite KZbinrs! I found you years ago when I was messing with HDPE and found your milk jug mallet! I’ve been hooked ever since!

Part of what draws me to your videos is your interaction with your wife. It gives me hope. Great job on the bowel for not having turned for a while. I always enjoy your videos. Lucky neighbor. Many thank yous.

I was SO nervous when the bowl started coming off the lathe, I'm glad you're ok and no one was hurt!!

[@aquarhythm2999]

Peter this bowl looks phenomenal!!! I was just rewatching a handful of your older wood and bowl projects so this was weirdly exactly the kind of project I was in the mood to see! Even if you are the resin and just wacky weird wonders guy, a classic wood project always produces something appreciable too

[@ivywells2909]

It's really lovely, so striking with that grain!

[@VeretenoVids]

I actually shrieked when the bowl jumped off the lathe! I'm glad it turned out well in the end.

[@Ksweetpea]

I was cringing so hard listening to the bowl clattering on the ground I was expecting it to have split in half or worse!

[@Valmtg]

Congrats on 775K subscribers! I enjoy your content and look forward to more videos! My favorite videos are ones where you mix different materials into molds and seeing what will set in resin and what is black light reactive.

[@design-build-give]

When I purchased my drill press a few years ago I bought the Rikon variable speed bench top drill press, they make a larger floor model as well. It is very convenient as it makes going from drill bits to forstnsr bits very easy, and it has a digital readout to be able to set your speed quite easily. The adjustment handle drifts sometimes but only at the extreme end of slow and fast on the adjustment. There are laser cross hairs, an led light, and an easily adjustable table. I like it and would absolutely buy it again.

[@shaymayca1]

Have you considered trying something like Kintsugi for repairs? I always thought that looked cool. its not a flaw, its a feature with Kintsugi.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

13:54 Doug over at Pohl Barn has a simple and easy depth gauge... Take a long, straight square or rectangular stick and drill a 1/4 inch hole in the exact center of the wide face of the stick. Insert a 1/4 inch diameter dowel through that hole and drill a small pilot hole in the narrow face of the stick lined up with the dowel hole and wind a screw into the pilot hole (it acts as a lock to keep the dowel from sliding in the hole after you've touched the bottom of the part your checking)... To use: lay the stick across the face of the piece and slide the dowel in until it touches bottom, then use the screw to lock it in place, then lay the stick across the face again but with the dowel on the OUTSIDE of the piece and see where the end is relative to the chuck...the difference is how thick the bottom is...AKA how close to joining the Funnel Club you are... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

[@maddieadams75]

[@Dysiode]

Removing the tenon and finishing the bottom seems much safer using a ryoba saw, or even a flush cut saw for smaller bowls, then sanding on a reference surface of some sort. Glad Mrs. Brown was able to find the large piece!

[@AstorReinhardt]

Ok so this might sound silly but seeing it go from an actual chunk from a tree to a bowl really put it all into perspective. I mean...that was a huge tree that was alive not that long ago! I know all wood is from trees but...yeah. It was really cool to see the process.

[@yobespierre]

[@ares395]

What an astonishingly beautiful piece of wood.

[@mrfochs]

One tip I learned from my grandfather with regards to the Cole Jaws - put a large blob of hot glue on each jaw right before you tighten them down and then let the glue fully cool. This ensures that the small taper in the jaws seats completely on the bowl. Then when done turning, you can peel most of the hot glue off of the wood and sand the rest before finish.

[@frogjmon]

whats your sharpening setup like? I only have carbide tooling and would like to get a bowl gouge, maybe 2 in different sizes. The biggest barrier for that is of course sharpening.

[@AndrewR74]

So my nemesis is the Cole jaws for the very reason that you had. If you use fiber tape, or strapping tape as it’s also called, you can do a pretty good job of holding it to those demon jaws. Also tail stock for as long as possible.

[@paulinammarie]

A great way to speed up drying is to soak the rough turned bowl in DNA for a day or two. Pull out and let sit on the shelf for a couple of days. Check moisture content and turn. I have never had a bowl take more than a week to dry

Some of thats perspective, but its def over 30ft by a good bit

[@indecisivemaniac116]

No yeah you’re right. I double checked the average high for phone poles, which ranges from 30-60ft. So unless that pole is way further back than it looks, that tree was well over 30ft

[@indecisivemaniac116]

Also just googled how tall/fast redwoods grow. If I understand correctly, a 20 year old redwood should be around 50 some feet tall

I mean it's sorta hearsay. My neighbor said it was 30ft. Not positive myself. :)
