Wood Turning A New Inside Out Ornament

I decided to turn another Inside Out Christmas Ornament. Made from Cherry and finished with shellac based sanding and the sprayed with lacquer.
These are fun to do and with a little practice they are not all that hard to do.
You can figure out what the shape will look like before starting but it is fun to see what develops.
I did one once that made a heart shaped window and that is fairly tricky to get right.
I used Zinsser Seal Coat and Rust-Oleum lacquer for the finish.

Very good video, and I’m glad I stayed until the end , taking notes, bc I have plenty pieces of 1&1/2” strips, but they are not 1&1/2X1&1/2, but rather 1&1/2”x 5/8”

[@ThePapa1947]

Happy you watched it all. the pieces can be anything your have. It will just change the overall size of the turning. But the do need to make a square when all 4 pieces are together. So 1.5X1.5 for the each of the 4 pieces. 1.5X.62 will not work. Hope that makes sense. i should have a drawing showing that if needed. Gary

[@dannyweldon1389]

Very nice! I’m understanding better why gifted individuals are creative and have to get all that stuff out in one way or another. Prob feels like your head will explode. Kinda like an over pressure failure or something.

Gary, I am amazed at your talent, I am 65 and in high school I took workshop and loved working on the lathe and I never imagined the type of creations that you come up with. You are by far a real master at your craft, Danny.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Dan. I am a bit older than you and remember my first turning in a grade school shop class. I fell in love with turning on that day. Then as an apprentice wood pattern maker the first job I made was turned on the lathe. Could not be much better than that. Needless to say I still love wood turning. Gary

I am intrigued by this inside-out business. It just twists my mind to see the form once it get inverted and what you can still do with it. This one is no exception Gary. Cherry is one of the most beautiful woods - simple and pure - and I am happy you chose it Gary. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷⏳💉

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mike and it is a very interesting process. Very fun to do for sure. Yes Cherry is a pretty special wood. I used the shellac to deepen the color just a little. Clear lacquer would not have done that. Hope all is well with you, Gary

Hi Gary......another beautiful turn! One of the things I appreciate about your work (and others of course) is your ability and talent of looking at wood as sectional...not just one piece of solid stock to be turned or hollowed. This kind of segmentational (new word!) crafting opens up a whole new horizon to wood shaping and carving...many thanks. Best wishes and stay healthy my friend.

@@ThePapa1947 I've been wanting to buy a lathe, I used to have one and I'm no stranger to woodworking. I am however struggling financially. I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction for a decent one, I definitely want to try to make one of your inside out ornaments and small decorations to sell. We live in an are where it's mostly us older retired folks like me. We own our homes, cars and furniture as well, and if you could recommend small things that I can turn and sell. I hope you don't mind me asking. I recently came across your Utube channel and I've been watching and enjoying your videos, and the fact that you explain what you're doing better than the others. Thank you for your kindness and you're Wonderful Videos. Bob

For what you want to do a smaller lathe will do. Ornaments, little round boxes and small vases for dried flowers (called weed pots) would be a good start Not sure the price range you are in but something with electronic speed control is nice I can recommend more based on price Gary

These are fun to turn, Gary and I really like the shape of yours. Very delicate. Someone suggested I should turn an ornament so maybe I will. It's certainly the right time of year!

[@greggerstner5599]

Hey Gary, great ornament and wonderful sharing. The sharing is something I've always loved about the craft. I've made smaller inside-out ornaments in the past and I was inspired by your older video to make a few larger. Things I have learned from these vids: Larger works great. Strapping tape and big jaws for turning the inside. (I've used hot glue in the past and it worked "too well" -- the wood fibers would sometimes tear. Also hose clamps.) When gluing up for the inside, just glue and brown paper on the ends. (Head-slap) I've posted one on The WoWs site (World of Woodturners). About to post another. Don't know your last name and I will give attribution as Gary from Oregon. And your KZbin name. And thanks for sharing!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Greg happy to hear you are having fun making these. I do want to make a much bigger one but it will not be an Christmas ornament. I will check the WoW site and look around. Someone posted one of my turnings on World Wide Woodturners and had his name for credit on it. Could have been an honest mistake but it was fixed after I questioned it. I will be great to see yours and appreciate the attribution you will give. Take care, Gary

[@billwells8054]

Thanks Gary, I will now use your 1/2 thickness tip. Still on learning curve. I perhaps made a mistake by using my "cheaper" wood to start out. Now will progress to some quality hardwoods cut into precise blanks.

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Bill, yes if you go much past that half point there will not be much to work with. Check out the video I pointed out in your previous comment. I think it is a great way for someone to get the hang of this. Although I did not use it on my first one. I came up with the idea when others were asking about inside out turnings. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Best of luck, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you. Inside out is fun and not all that hard. Start out with a simple shape and work from there. How wide is your band saw blade and how many teeth per inch. For cutting round blanks I would try to stay with 3/8 wide and 3 or 4 teeth per inch. Best of luck and thanks for watching, Gary

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Great job Gary. You had me wondering a little until you put the tape on. I've had them fly before, of course, I turn a lot faster than most folks. I even broke the packing tape once. I now use wire ties. You take care old buddy, Larry

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Larry! I figured I better show adding the tape. It is a little extra security for sure. I have done them without the tape and with only the tape. I have seen people use hose clamps but that is a bit much for me. Hope you are doing better my friend, Gary

[@NSBlack_Stallion]

When you hung it from the wire I first thought you meant electrical wire. It would be cool to have a dim LED inside. Especially if you hung an ornament in there that was bigger than the openings. Just a quick thought.

I do have LED lights that fit in there. They can flash different colors which looks pretty cool. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@mdsigners1901]

Nice piece. I just turned my first inside out and didn't lose any fingers or eyes so I'll be making some more. I don't see anyone doing what I do and I don't know if there is a reason for avoiding it or have others just not thought of it, use a dry sponge as a backer for the sandpaper when turning things with voids or corners (I use it most of the time anyway). This puts something between your fingers and the spinning piece. Should something slip, it greatly reduces the risk of injury and I'd rather chase a piece of sponge across the shop than a piece of me.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you I am happy you liked it. You have a great idea with the sponge. Thinking about it the sponge paint brushes would make a great backer for sanding. Very w0r5ble soft and flexible. I have used the round sponge paint rollers with sand paper spray glued on to reach down into a winged bowl to avoid putting my hand in there. Check this one out I did 3 weeks ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpDYgZmKqLGJsJI&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 The sanding part starts at 10:18

[@peterstenabaugh6810]

Gary, I just watched your video for this xmas ornament. I see where you used a piece of SS wire to hang it with.....Here's a suggestion. Purchase a box of very fine stainless steel cotter pins, perhaps 1/6" diameter and maybe 2" long, or as long as you can get them. To hang things like this you only need to drill the appropriate sized hole in the end and glue the cotter pin in with some CA glue, and/or spread the ends where they come through on the inside, then it will never pull out. You can trim the 2" long cotter pin to length just prior to gluing it in place, but with the long pins, you can use it for multiple projects, and they're cheap for a box of 100 pins.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks for the idea Peter. With the cutter pin you already have the look on the end. The wire I used here is what I use to make fishing lures. Plenty strong for a 40lb. salmon and I have the bending pliers for getting a look on the end. But I sure will look into some stainless cutter pins, Sounds very simple. Take care, Gary

[@peterstenabaugh6810]

@@ThePapa1947 I also noticed on Amazon that you can get a 'loop pin' which is basically a thin wire formed with a loop on the end, exactly the same shape as the loop on an eye bolt, but it's just a thin stainless wire. I was just thinking that it might look a bit more professional for some applications, and it's nice and dainty.
