Wood Turning A Six Sided Inside Out Christmas Ornament

[@TheJkaeser]

Hi Gary, this is a beautiful ornament. This year (2024) I have been unable to get at my lathe for several months which has left me really missing the Xmas seasons ornament turnings and I find myself living vicariously through turners like you. Thank you for your inspiration and I look forward to the 2025 turning season.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jeff I appreciate your comments. I hope you can get back to your lathe soon. Gary

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary....OMG...( i am thinking "does Gary ever stop thinking, recline back, put your feet up & watch some mindless show on the tube?", HA) Gary your mind seems to always be in gear with zero idle hands. Wonderful thoughtful ideas coming from your shop and I use your enthusiasm to keep myself fired up to create things in my own shop. THANK YOU GARY!!!!! I am NOT as productive OR inventive as you are and in my minds eye you are always working on the top rung of that skillful ladder.... (but here I am still sitting)....until next time.....TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Tuffy! So when I am sitting in front of the TV watching some mindless show I have my laptop in front of me sketching up one thing or the other. I have always had to keep my mind busy on one thing or the other. The nice thing about angles it is endless how they can go together. Off to the shop to make something that takes less thinking LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

I enjoy watching these videos Atchison time of year as it is time to prepare for those craft shows. These have been very popular with the hospital staff that took care of me in my hospitalizations. Long to seeing more of these this year.

[@glencrandall8334]

I have done 4 sided and 2 sided. I guess it's time to try 6 sides. It obviously works very well. Thank you for the demonstration. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ThePapa1947]

If you were to do a 6 sided those same pieces will work for a 3 sided which I have done as well. I am planning another 4 sided one that should be interesting. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@moonwoodworks4607]

Very cool Gary, three and six piece inside out turnings gives me ideas for once I get back at it. Closing on new home with large shop on June 29th, so I'll be back to turning and posting videos within next couple weeks. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Tim. These are a lot of fun to do. Great news on your new home and with a shop. Hard to get much better than that. Looking forward to seeing you back making videos. Take care my friend, Gary

Wow just as beautiful as the three sided turning. An I now see that with a little help you can use hot glue to help do turning as well. Thank you very much.

Geeze, I thought the 3 sided ornament was cool and I was right! Now you've outdone yourself, Professor! I agree about the finish, the poly looks best on this one. It's an ornament, it should shine! LOL! Very nice job and a fun, informative video! Keep'em coming, buddy! Phil

Thanks so much Chris I appreciate your comment. I remember the day many many years ago as an apprentice wood pattern maker looking at a drawing and seeing in my head what it was going to look like. That was a gift from God and it was a very special feeling. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@ericmoorehead1100]

Excellent video. I never thought hot glue would work so well for this application.

Hi Gary, another fine video lesson in how to turn. This was excellent, and I like your finished product. Both are nice, but I'm with you, the one you showed us first is the nicer one. It's really a pleasure to get a lesson every week in how to do innovative turnings. I hope to try out this method of turning inside out objects. But, like you, I'd like to figure out a new way of doing things; I want to figure out how to make the staves curve towards the top. I'm sure it's through using one of the custom jigs you have made, I'm just not sure how yet. Thank you for providing us another lesson in how to do fine woodworking. See you again next week.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mark, these are really fun to make and I will probably be pushing it a little farther than this as well. Are you wanting to make the staves taper from the bottom out and up? With them being straight pieces I am guessing. If you have questions about that let me know. Take care, Gary

[@markbahlke9091]

@@ThePapa1947 Hi Gary, I am thinking of how to make the staves twist as they go up, sort of wrap around in one direction. I have a hard time thinking in 3-d, and figuring the cuts to make staves that will nest together, and have a twist in them has hurt my brain already. I was thinking along the lines of your sled for the wavy bowl segments. But I haven't gotten any farther than that. Let me know what you think. Impossible? I don't know.

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Mark, this might be hard to do with the way these are glued up but I am drawing something up right now that will twist; Hopefully I will have it worked out and have made something in a few weeks. Tomorrow I will use some Cedar to test things out. Take care, Gary
