Winged Bowl Turning for Beginning Bowl Turners

[@tonymathesonxvs11001]

Got to say another BIG, THANK YOU Mike for your time effort and content of your videos...... Not only your videos though, the downloadable demonstration handouts and articles you have had published and made available to KZbin viewers. I can't say it often enough, "a good tutor is worth years of practice". Your generosity of your knowledge is gratefully received every time I watch your videos. Thanks again, every time I watch an educational wood turning video, for me it's an adventure. Regards and best wishes to you, please, keep on, keepin' on, looking forward to your next adventure. Tony

Nicely done Mike. I look forward to seeing something from you each week. It's always entertaining as well as instructional. Thank you for sharing.

thank you for your service sir new to wood turning

Thanks for watching!

[@ramzyboutros6318]

Really appreciate your commentary as you work. It helps me understand the issues that arise and why you do specific things to resolve them.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for takiing the time for specific feedback.

[@alandills3393]

Perfect timing. I just picked up a bunch of (free) dogwood off of craigslist and was hoping to try some new stuff with it. This is exactly the time of thing I was wanting and this video is incredibly helpful. Thanks, Mike.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Craigslist for free wood. I love it!

[@billy19461]

Great video! I love how you state that’s the way you do it. Some experts say that their way is the only way and I find that contradicted nearly every day by some other expert. And yes I consider you an expert if you are giving lessons, demonstrations, and making videos on how to do something. Then I consider you an expert and you are one of the best.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Billy, I appreciate that feedback!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Nice off center variation on a winged bowl. Well done, Mike!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks you, Valerie. Winged bowls are my favorite.

[@bertdelisle393]

Very nice project Mike! Well done, excellent running commentary, accurate and great tips along the way. I always enjoy watching your channel and recommend friends and new turners to check out your channel, truly a wealth of practical information.

[@johnpbh]

Beautiful looking piece. Definitely something to come back to later on when I am more confident with my gouges. Many thanks for putting this up and going through the steps slowly for us beginners.

[@davidmorgan7522]

Very nice Mike! Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave

[@plamb5243]

once again a wonderful presentation. Lovely design. Well done Sir

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Hope all is well on the other side of the fault line.

[@matthewmcbride3201]

Very informative video thank you for sharing

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

My pleasure. This is my favorite bowl style as round bowls have gotten kind of boring for me.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Another interesting video. I will have to try turning a similar bowl. Thanks for sharing your expertise!!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You can do it if you have a few bowls under your belt.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Mike Peace Woodturning I only have two bowls to my turning credit. One was a small walnut bowl and the other was a three winged (edged) bowl. The three winged bowl was a nice challenge that turned out very well. I like jumping into more difficult projects and make my mistakes there rather than on small ones that may not be significant. I believe turning something more difficult than something simple since the learning is greater. I took on this philosophy years ago when I first learned stained glass as a hobby, then turned it into a successful business for over 30 years. Now, I plan to do the same with wood turning. The only difference will be making “play” by turning wood since it is addictive.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I have seen some novice turners jump into larger projects without a complete understanding of thje risks. A lack of full tool control or understanding some basics like appropriate late speed can cause serious injuries or worse. Poor chucking methods can tolerate some small bowls but not something large and off balance. Remember, a lathe is one of the few tools in your shop that can kill you! Others just cut off fingers. I believe in walking before you crawl. But do what works for you but stay safe my friend.

[@jarmstrong2843]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I fully understand the dangers and other implications. Usually, I don't go beyond my expertise and will stop if I sense getting into trouble. But, that's not to say I don't like challenging myself. Last year I had a very good friend who was turning wood in his shop that was located in Southern New Mexico. He was 93 years young and still farmed one section of pecan orchard. I had an orchard not too far from his until i got out of the business in 2009. In October 2018 I went to visit him. His wife said he was in the shop. When I got to the shop, I found him dead on the floor as a result of turning some mesquite wood that had impaled the artery in his neck. He was gone in just a minute or two. Even if medical care was on the scene, there was little they could have done to save him. So, I am very much aware of the dangers of turning wood and have seen what they are. In fact, when I turn wood, I usually wear a heavy cowhide apron and a full coverage helmet. His accident scared the bejesus out of me, but never stopped me from having the wood turning addiction.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

@@jarmstrong2843 OMG! I can't imagine the shock of finding a friend like that. Scary still that I turned some mesquite today but a chess piece blank cut from a large and very crack blank.

[@GordonRock1]

Beautiful winged bowl, Mike! I really like the off center aspect. Great video, my friend. 👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Happy turning, .....Gord

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Gord. It is one of my favorite designs.

[@dylangraves]

Best way to start my friday! Thanks mike!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Dylan!

[@jonsayre9404]

Very good demonstration and giving instructions on turning this bowl. What was the finish you used after the bowl was taken off the lathe?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Minwax Antique Oil. Like the add says I use that S -bleep-t oneverything. You can order thru my Amazon shop but you can also buy at Ace hardware.

[@skturnings7645]

If you watch the shadow of the shavings land on your tool at 18:10 it looks like some ants marching up the bowl 😂 or maybe I'm just seein things 🤣🤣 really cool video, gave me many ideas! And the bowl turned out great!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Oh wow! Yes! The shadows from the shavings do look like ants on the BG!

[@skturnings7645]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning do you have an email I can send you a couple photos? I'm new to turning (about 5 months) and your "winged bowl" videos really inspired me and I'd just like to show you what I've made 😁

[@cobberpete1]

Very Interesting bowl. I will put it on my list of projects to do. 'Very' amusing to see you turning so much air and seeing cuttings flying off as if from nowhere 😁

[@LewisKauffman]

Thank You, Mike! Great video. I appreciate your work and talents!!!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I appreciate your support, Lewis.,

[@josephwise485]

Thanks for the video Mike, very nice. Do you have any recommendations for a wood burner? Didn't find one on your Amazon account.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I have used an Optima for years and quite happy with it. It is not available on Amazon. This is where I bought mine gregdorrance.com/product/optima-1-dual-wood-burner-w-2-pens/. It is quite similar to the Razertip but about 20% cheaper.

[@alanmullock381]

Well explained Mike!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@chicocash9668]

good stuff

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Thanks Mike. I think I can do one thanks to you. Now all I need is aproper piece of wood. Or three 😁 -Mike

[@jarmstrong2843]

Mike: I have a quick question that does not pertain to this video. Perhaps you may know this fellow wood turner and know what happened to him. Robbie the Wood Turner, a fellow from Ireland, stopped making videos about 4 years ago. Like your videos, I enjoyed watching his videos too and got a lot from them. I noticed a shake in his hands and thought there might be a medial issue. Many of the well known wood turners subscribe to other channels and keep up with each other. That is why I ask. Keep those wood shavings flying. I enjoy all your videos and learn from them.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I enjoyed Robbie's videos as well. I know he was on disability back then so can only assume his condition worsened.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Mike Peace Woodturning Thank you! I sent the Irish Woodturners Guild an email asking about him since he was a member at one time. Once I get a response I will send it on to you for your information.

[@barrymondahl7079]

Great, cant wait till i finish a cupboard i promised to my wife, then i can get back to turning. good husband hey, got my priorities right. Happy wife, happy life. LOL.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Absolutely right!

[@theRussianJiu]

For a beginner? Are ya sure? I suppose if they want to piss their shorts. Lol

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Remember I said a beginner with a few bowls under their belt. And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

[@theRussianJiu]

Man, I'm glad you get my sense of humor. Keep turning shavings.
