Turning a pinstripe bowl from pine cut offs and cardstock - create your own turning blanks

[@silverlady1118]

That's an idea I have not seen before, turned out really well, thank you for sharing

[@lyndalanthony635]

As an old timer, when we wanted to glue a waste block to the bottom of a bowl and be able to easily remove it, we used paper card stock in the glue joint so we coul[d easily break the glue joint with a chisel and not damage the wood.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

I’ve used that trick as well. Luckily the watered down glue saturated the card stock layers and held it all together. I was a little iffy on whether it would work out, but it did. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful bowl, great idea!

[@jtaylor006]

What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece Chad. The card was genius!

Nice Piece, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like.

Great looking bowl 👍

[@OldManTony]

What a great tip, I’ll have to give this a try, I have far too many scraps like this that need using up!

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Good luck! I've got lots of scraps too, so I'll have to come up with some other ideas. :)

[@QD_Makesstuff]

I dig the end result! Two questions, why did you thin the glue? We’re you worried about the card stock failing and the blank blowing up?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Yeah, I figured it would be better to let it saturate the card stock and maybe help hold it together better. The glue on its own may have done the same thing, but with so many card stock pieces and surfaces to coat, watering it down a bit seemed easier. Thanks for watching!

[@bobbyplatt7654]

Nice bowl records times..

[@markoutler5139]

Very nice and very creative. What is the jam chuck or what ever you call it you used to secure the bowl to turn away the foot?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

It wasn't a jam chuck, but rather a rounded piece of wood with some padding on it. The bowl is just pressed between the pad and the tailstock. Thanks for watching!

[@matthewstewart3446]

Hey Chad, just found this video and it was something I was thinking of lately. I am wondering how the laminated paper held up all this time. My concern with it was humidity causing the paper to delaminate. So, how did it hold up all this time and what would you do differently if done today? My thinking was to use epoxy resin like making micarta, using paper or fabrics.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

It has held up fine, but hasn't been used for anything other than keeping dust off the bowl underneath it. Haha. No doubt that a resin of any type would be a better, stronger option... although, I'm not sure how well the card stock would soak it up. For the video, I wanted to use glue because everyone has some laying around. If I did it again, I wouldn't dilute the glue as much. Something to seal the card stock lines would be good if the bowl is going to see some use. Using resin as the adhesive would be the perfect solution as long as it will penetrate whatever thickness of paper you're using... if that makes sense. Thanks for watching the video! I hope it helped.

[@matthewstewart3446]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks that makes sense for sure. Thanks for replying so quickly. I originally started thinking of it when I was planning out a hand cane handle. I have been trying to turn different angles and styles. A buddy suggested using laminated gun stock. Very expensive stuff for the size I would need. Using what is on hand is always better. Like any turner I have more scraps than I need. So, I have been finding was to turn them into stuff I can donate to others. Being a disabled vet I love the idea of helping others who need help.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

That's great! The scraps do pile up quickly... but they definitely come in handy for that random small project.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Is this food safe and what are the blue and red cards?

[@johnemmett5606]

I am curious as to what you thinned your glue with?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Just water.

[@johnemmett5606]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Thank you

[@АндрейЗаколючинск]

How was the glue diluted?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

With water. I may have diluted it a little too much, but it still worked okay.

[@harvtoews7774]

What is the best type of glue to use foe the card stock/pine bowl ?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Any decent wood glue should work just fine.

[@joerangel9871]

Where can you find that color insert or can you send me a link so I can order some. Nice work.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

The color pieces are just standard card stock, available at any office supply store. Thanks for watching!

[@edheide7229]

Goo idea: Did I see you use two whole pieces?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

I’m not sure. Two whole pieces of what?

[@joshblumenthal4873]

Chad, nice bowl! Is the card stock paper? Was it 3 pieces used to make each stripe? TIA

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Yes, it was paper card stock and three layers for each stripe. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Out of curiosity, what was the liquid that you added to the glue? Alcohol? I have thought about turning pine, but felt it wasn’t a good turning wood. After watching your video, I may reconsider and give it a try.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

I used water to dilute the glue (it was probably in a recycled alcohol bottle). I may have diluted it a bit too much, but it still worked. Pine is not a great turning wood, but it’s also not the worst. Just make sure those glue joints are strong, so it doesn’t fly apart on you.

[@jarmstrong2843]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Ok, that makes sense. I think the water helps the glue bond a little quicker and makes it dry faster….. I think!! I was turning a piece of pecan on my lathe and I hit a several big nails that had been driven into the tree many years ago and covered by the bark. Big chunks of metal are now missing from my new Sorby roughing gouge. It will be a little shorter after I regrind the bevel. Pulled out the chain saw and cut away that section of wood and used an old metal detector I have to see if there are more. All clear now.

[@deanmiller294]

What is used to dilute the wood glue? Great job!

[@awjaaa]

I presume the "dH2O" stands for distilled water.

[@danielcarroll989]

What did you add to the glue?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Just some water.

[@RCW-Designs]

I wonder how this would hold up between segments for a vase?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

It would work perfectly fine as far as I can figure. Just use enough glue and clamp ‘em tight. Please let me know how it goes if you do try it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@RCW-Designs]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks will do. I was supposed to film some turning today, but I jacked up my ankle Friday. Can barely stand on it.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

I hope you heal quickly! Today was my first day on the lathe in over a week... I've been spending all my time working on some stuff that should be a significant upgrade to my videos.

[@RCW-Designs]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks thanks. I don't think it will be too long. I've been off the lathe for over a year. Tore my labrum last year during our move, just went downhill from there.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Yikes! I’ve really had to change the way I turn over the years - shoulders and back get rough sometimes. Good luck and be careful!

[@billy19461]

What did you mix with the glue?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Just a little water.

[@mariophillip1413]

Cardstock? Is that some type of paper?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Yes, it’s basically thick paper. Like what they make business cards or greeting cards from.
