Turning The Zebra Wood Segmented Bowl

[@markmcclellan427]

Gary, I'm the guy that some months ago asked what profession you came from wondering if you had been an engineer or mathematician but learned you made wooden patterns. I am a pretty fair woodworker but I don't have an imaginative bone in my body so consequently I have to steal ideas from others like yourself. I had a 1996 12" Delta lathe which served me well but was gasping for life lately and you have inspired me to up my game so I just purchased a huge Harvey 24" lathe and I have a whole Sh#$load of off cuts that I am finding a new life for thanks to you and all your marvelous projects. Our church has a fundraiser in November that includes a silent auction and I'm going to overwhelm them and reduce my off cuts pile. You are amazing in all the geometric designs and solutions to incorporate in wood turning and all I can say this is so much more fun and less stressful than my previous life as a stockbroker. And if the 1947 in your nom de plume is your birth year then we are the same vintage. Thank you so much for all your efforts and I will continue to try and mimic your wonderful projects. Mark McClellan' Beaumont, TX

[@ThePapa1947]

Well thank you very much Mark for wanting to do what I do and I am very happy that you feel it is worth copying. And as far as copying if there is ever a question I am happy to answer and I have drawings of a lot of things like this that I am more than willing to share. Wow a 24" Harvey will be a great lathe for sure. No reason to go in-between as you will be set for anything. As a wood pattern maker it had times when it was very stressful. Not only did I have to read a 2d drawiing and produce a wood pattern from it but had to be made so you could mold it in sand and get it out. Plus making a core box to make the inside. All of this while making the bided price they put on the pattern. But I was blessed with the ability's to do this and was given the very complex patterns to build and loved it. After retirement I still needed to continue testing myself and am always looking for something to do that. I love learning new things and it seems you do as well. I am guessing it is something with those of us born in 1947 LOL. Take care, Gary

[@donaldolson3454]

Gary, Again, your clear explanation of each step guides the viewer through. Of the dozens of videos on turning, your's is pedigocally sound! You are clear with the appropriate terminology, and show just enough to convey the idea! Your design ideas morphed into turnings are very imaginative...and inspirational. Right On, Gary! You're my hero!

Hi Gary! “I don’t really consider it luck…” ha ha ha 😂 Neither do I! This bowl looks just awesome 👏🏻👍🏻 I truly don‘t know which of your segmented bowls is my favourite, but this one is among the top three for sure, great job, Gary! I can tell that you are in the flow when you are immersed in these segmented bowl projects… Such precision and creativity, it is such a pleasure to watch 😊 I don’t know why but this bowl really gives off a strong African vibe somehow… Not just the warm colours but also the shape… Reminds me of the hat that Meryl Streep wears in „Out of Africa“ when she gets married to Brø von Blixen… One of my favourite movies, you know… Really gorgeous bowl, Gary, thank you 🙏🏻 Have a lovely week, take care 👋🏻

[@ThePapa1947]

Well thank you so much. I guess it is years of practicing being luck that did it LOL. It is actually the years of precise wood work I did as a wood pattern maker. Wow that is cool that Meryl Streep wore my bowl in a movie. Well I guess that came first but I will have to check that out. Happy you enjoyed this one and thanks for watching. Take care, Gary

Gary, do you know that you are inspiring a whole generation? You transformed the old fashioned way of turning into something modern, light, colourful, shining, and interesting! You make the younger generation want to repeat it and try themselves on this very old craft of turning. For sure there are hundreds of your followers who went directly to a shop to get their own lathe. And you guide them/us on this way :-) I found this must have been said. Gary, thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much Uwe for you very kind words. I appreciate you saying them and I do hope that others can enjoy wood turning as much as I do. I first turned in a grade school in 1960 shop class.

[@joshblumenthal4873]

Another beauty! One of the reasons I watch your videos is for what I learn, sometimes just a small detail. Today's lesson was the wipe-on poly. After a couple of bleeds, I stuck to the spray-on finish but those fumes are strong and winter has hit and I can't spray outdoors. This is a great solution. I had to chuckle when you mentioned the heater was on in your shop. Before I started to watch this, I turned mine on to knock off the chill before I start. My dream house would have a fully insulated, heated, air conditioned shop with exhaust fans, etc. My real world, like a lot of us, is an unheated garage, though I did add a window AC to it last year.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Josh. I have not tested it for Maple but I will do that when I go out to the shop. Which I need to do to turn a heater on. Normally getting the chill off is enough and I can shut it off when working. I used to go steelhead fishing in the winter and above freezing was a warm day in my drift boat. Now I fish for them in the warm months. Take care, Gary

I wish I had known the pencil line trick the first time I made a segmented piece. I placed most of the pieces correctly but messed up on a couple near the end of the glue-up. Over-confidence got me.

One good takeaway from this video: to leave a section uncut when cutting the angles. One remark: The angle finder does not tell you if your table is at zero degrees. If not sure, check that before you start. Great video Gary. 😎

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Leo. So the angle finder has a button to zero it to the surface you are working on. The way my saw is sitting it is about 3 degrees from being flat to the world. As far as my angle finder know it is set to a table that is now zero. Another good trick is if you want to set the bandsaw table at an angle you put the angle finder on the blade and zero it. Now the table is adjusted to to the blade. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@emgiwoodworks]

@@ThePapa1947 Well, I have one of those angle finders too and its a great piece of kit. For one thing the battery seems to last forever; it still turns on when I use it which is not very often. Maybe mine has that zeroing feature too but I'm not sure. I always check the table first and thus far my table is always close to zero. But it sits on a wooden floor so it might vary over the seasons. Without a reference, the 7.50 degrees could be way off from what you really wanted.

[@ThePapa1947]

@@emgiwoodworks when getting the angle on segments and getting them to close up you have to be more than pretty close. Being off .5 degrees will make each segment off by 1 degree times in this case 12 segments. We had a high dollar digital level a work and it also had a zero button. I would sure hope you angle finder has a zero button.

Very pretty. Informative the way you made the feature ring. Maybe some day I'll figure out how to send you a picture of my Is Chevron around the bowl

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dana. Only way to send a picture is email KZbin does not have a way to do that.

Gary, I am always amazed by the precision & accuracy of your segmented pieces. I know it was a skill developed from your work before 'retirement' but I suspect you have honed the skill even more through your segmented turnings. Your attention to detail is astonishing & this really shows in your segmented pieces. Very relaxing viewing with your commentary matching your wood turning skill. Thanks for sharing. Don from South Aust.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Don. For sure my work needed accuracy. Even though what I made was not considered art many people who saw it and had no idea what it was for called it art. Some very unusual shapes for sure. Thanks for watching. Gary

Your right about the Paduak bleeding. I tried to make a Paduak feature ring up against Maple and yes, it blead something terrible. Beautiful bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you George, the only way I have stopped it from bleeding into the Maple is to use very light coats of sprayed lacquer. Once I have done that 3 or 4 times I can spray normally and build up the finish. Thanks for watching, Gary
