Wood Turning - How to Colour an Ash Bowl using Hot Melt Glue

[@torvigjohnson]

It seems that good things come your way as you trim the lawn. You are a generous man. Thank you for sharing this fun idea.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Torvig Johnson Thanks Torvig, sometimes lawn cutting, can end up fun ;) Take care Mike

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Mike !! Well, you didnt let us down. That is a great idea and a lovely effect. Woodturning is certainly evolving, so many new ideas. Thanks for sharing. All the best.............Andy.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Andy Paramore Why thank you Andy, I appreciate that mate. Also, thanks for always supporting me, that too is much appreciated. Take care Mike

[@neilanfuneralhome3737]

As an woodturner and amateur banjo player, i really enjoyed this video!

[@MikeWaldt]

+Chris Neilan Glad to have made you happy in more than one way Chris :) I used to play the guitar, until everyone told me I couldn't ;) Take care Mike

[@alansimpson596]

Thank you Mike for a great decorating idea As it's springtime I hope you remember the old Welsh saying: The time it soon arrives, to sow row upon row of lovely chives. Best wishes, Alan.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Alan Simpson My pleasure Alan, and thank you, as always, for watching and supporting my channel. I am thinking of starting up a new channel given over to cultivating prize chives, what do you think ;) Take care mate Mike

[@johncornell13]

A very nice piece Mike, it uses the same basic ideas as say etch resist and the use of masking fluid in watercolour art. A lovely result.Cheers for now.Johnny

[@MikeWaldt]

+John Cornell hi John, there are many, many ways to achieve the same result, this was just one possibility, that happened to be quite effective. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care Mike

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Great concept here for different possibilities. Thanks for your time, Mike. Great looking piece, Lee

[@MikeWaldt]

+Lee Waterman Thanks Lee, the possibilities are indeed endless :) Cheers Mike

[@paultrembath201]

Thanks for sharing another great way to embellish our works. Thanks Mike.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Paul Trembath Thank YOU for watching Paul, appreciate it mate. Take care Mike

[@richardcoyle8091]

Beautiful results Mike. I can see a lot of possibilities with this idea. Can't wait to try it. Stay safe. till next time.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Richard Coyle Thanks Richard, hope you find it as much fun as I do. Take care Mike

[@MrSkeeter18]

Woodworking to another level. Thanks mike. Thanks for sharing. Bob

[@MikeWaldt]

+MrSkeeter18 Lol....thanks Bob, you didn't think I could bring it "down" another level.....did you.....lol Take care my friend Mike

[@paulhaggett8913]

I think Martin's work is rubbing off on you Mike!! Looks really effective. Inspiring as always- thank you.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Paul Haggett Lol....you may well be right Paul....but...he is much more arty farty than I'll ever be, and I mean that in a nice way :) Thanks for the kind words, on a serious note, I really appreciate them mate. Take care Mike

[@johnvoak8970]

Superb Mike. What a super bowl that turned out to be, thanks for sharing.

[@MikeWaldt]

+John Voak Thanks John, your kind words are very much appreciated my friend. Take care Mike

[@andrewstevens1780]

The bowl looks great Mike, that's a good effect. When you mentioned using colour that made me think, you could put one colour on first, then the hot glue and spray over the top like you did with this one. Then when you peel off the glue you would have a different colour showing through.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Andrew Stevens Thanks Andrew, the method you describe is exactly what I am going to play around with, and see what evolves. Thanks for watching and commenting Take care Mike

[@MarkGarth]

Great idea Mike, and I love the finished bowl.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Mark Garth Thanks Mark, appreciate it my friend. Take care Mike

[@joescarborough1]

We used this technique back in the 70s using rubber cement on paper or canvas with inks and paints. It's interesting to see the "new" techniques coming back and being applied to different media. Looks great! Try red on the whole surface-could be a dye- before the glue, then the glue, then the black (or any other combination of colors in pairs, or repeat the process for multi-colored string effects. The options and effects are endless. Thanks for sharing, --Joe

[@MikeWaldt]

+Joseph Scarborough Hi Joe, I always think that things come full circle....then we start at the beginning again. This idea is not mine originally of course, but it's great fun, and very effective. The colours you mentioned are exactly what I'm going to try, and see how the base colour stands up to the glue heat, I think it will work out just fine.....hopefully. Take care, and thanks for watching Mike

[@joescarborough1]

+Mike Waldt If you're going to use a surface finish, try a test piece first to see if the hot glue pulls the base finish off. A dye would not come off for sure and would let some of the grain show through. Just a thought. Hope you'll share the results of your next experiment. Cheers, --Joe

[@matt3642]

I really like this idea !!! A lot looks great very retro n nice hot glue idea n us young ones try very hard to fit in the woodworking community

[@MikeWaldt]

+Mats Turnings Thanks Mat, we old 'uns need you young 'uns to carry on the craft into the future mate, never forget that :) Thanks for watching, and commenting. Take care Mike

[@angelramos-2005]

Dear Mike.It is a very creative and simple process and gives an excelent resault.Thank you for sharing it.Angel Ramos

[@MikeWaldt]

+Angel Ramos Thank you Angel, I am pleased that you liked it. Take care Mike

[@stubrearley9220]

Super video Mike. The piece looks amazing. I paid to see a woodturning demo recently and it wasn't good to say the least. The guy hardly spoke, he turned something quite simple and gave no explanation of his technique etc. Basically it was just sat watching some guy doing some turning for two hours. I don't want to knock him really, but when you, and all the other fantastic woodturners on KZbin share things like this for free. We are very lucky.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Stu Brearley Thank you Stu, appreciate it. Thanks also for your kind words, it makes it all worthwhile. Take care Mike

[@CipsWoodChips]

Hot glue! Great application, got to give it a go! Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Cip's Wood Chips Thank you for watching Cip, it's a fun method that's for sure :) Take care Mike

[@JimG31547]

Mike, I love that finish. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing, Jim

[@spwoodart]

Hi Mike, Very neat idea and use of hot glue. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeWaldt]

+SP Wood Art Thank you, I appreciate it Take care Mike

[@BlackCat_2]

That's incredibly lovely! I love that paint work and I am going to have to try that on wood and other things. :) - Heidi

[@MikeWaldt]

+BlackCat2 Thanks Heidi, glad you liked the method. Take care Mike

[@TheDonJoyner]

A stunning beauty! Belongs in a gallery for sure. I wonder what type of undercoat might stand up to the heat and adhesion of the glue such that there could be a complimentary color rather than the natural wood color in the swirls...two varieties, so to speak.

[@MikeWaldt]

+TheDonJoyner Thank you Don, i have much experimenting to do with colour, and finding out the very thing you have mentioned. Cheers Mike

[@wotstaylor]

what a great finish and so simple, great job mate, thanks for sharing.

[@MikeWaldt]

+brian taylor Thank you Brian Take care Mike

[@MARKBaid]

Great tip and beautiful piece Mike. You are so right that we need to support young turning actually just children in general. I'll head over to check him out. Take care my friend and do a kindness Mark

[@MikeWaldt]

+MARK Baid Thanks Mark, it is a fun method. Thanks also, for supporting Alex. Take care my friend Mike

[@scottgaber2267]

Very nice Mike. Like I said before you most certainly think out of the box. Thanks for sharing. Scott

[@MikeWaldt]

+Scott Gaber Thanks Scoot, I wish the original idea was mine, but sadly....it wasn't :) Cheers Mike

[@colinchalmers1099]

Nice project Mike,i think the different colors would be nice, cheers Colin.

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Mike! It reminds me of the work of Jackson Pollock! Really nice and artistic effect and very clever use of the hot glue as a mask! Thanks for sharing my friend! Cheers! Daniel

[@MikeWaldt]

+Daniel Vilarino Hi Daniel....I don't think Mr Pollack would be happy with me being compared to him, but I thank you anyway ;) Take care my friend Mike

[@dougwarren1796]

What a great effect, well done Mike

[@MikeWaldt]

+Doug Warren Thanks Doug, glad you like it Cheers Mike

[@stanjudd2552]

That's a sharp looking bowl Mike . I did that once , but didn't much like picking at the tiny bits of glue , so now I melt wax in the micro . and for me easier to remove then the glue . Just a thought .

[@PaulLockwood]

Wow kept us in suspense for so long, really worth the wait.The more I look at it the more it grows on you. I think the final side profile image you have makes the piece look really stunning. Glad you didn't do the inside as it would have been an over kill. Just one extra option, you could use this process to create more of a wide border on the outside rather than the whole base.Great work and thanks for the video. Well done!

[@MikeWaldt]

+Paul Lockwood Lol Paul - glad you liked the end result. This was just to show a very basic and easy way to use the glue to create an effect. There are limitless possibilities that can be explored, it just gives the idea so people can go away and spread hot glue to their hearts content, knowing that something acceptable will result :) Thanks for watching and commenting mate, appreciate it. Take care Mike

[@fcsturningwoodcraft2933]

I love this effect. What is the brand name of the ebonizing spray that you used? I have tried to find some in canada but have had no luck.

[@geofo60]

Liking that a lot Mike. Effect is similar to Sgraffito without having to carve the design into the wood. Excellent step by step description, 10/10. Regards ....... Geof Harris

[@MikeWaldt]

+geofo60 Thank you Geof, your kind words are appreciated mate Cheers Mike

[@gcottee]

[@MikeWaldt]

+Brams shed Thanks Bram, you can give it a go in your new workshop ;) Take care Mike

[@timhyatt9185]

I really like the possibilities of this technique.....the spray can you used, is that an actual stain? I wonder how this would do with an iron acetate solution (on a suitably reactive wood species)......definately going to have to try something along this line!

[@MikeWaldt]

+Tim Hyatt Thanks Tim, as yet this is the only method I've tried, but more "messing about" is on the horizon. one thing I have already learned is that paint does lift when the glue is applied and cured, this info is thanks to a comment below. One less thing needed to be tried out :) Take care and thanks for watching Mike

[@TheMessyStudio]

That's a great idea, Mike! Looks very artsy.Billy B.

[@jeffmauldin2841]

when I saw you drizzling hot glue on such a nice piece I though you were crazy, when I figured out what you were doing whebbyou were painting it I thought it might be ok, when I saw the end results I think you are a genius! I am going to try this myself. very nice idea

[@MikeWaldt]

+Jeff Mauldin Thanks Jeff, I'm glad you liked the end result, much more trial and error in the future me thinks - which is after all the enjoyable part :) Take care, and thanks for watching. Mike

Hi mike fantastic job as usual I'm slowly watching all your uploads just a question what do you take your pics with and do you have a light box for taking your stills with ? and thanks for sharing keep up the amazing uploads .

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Clive and thank you. I use a Canon HC-VX980 for shooting the video, and a Lavalier mic attached for the intros. My trusty Samsung Galaxy mobile phone has been used for the stills since the S6 came out a few years ago about 5 or so I think, now I have the S10 and it is ideal for stills. Take care Mike

Very cool Idea the possibilities seem endless. I may give that a go. I am heading right over to Alex's channel now

[@JimE6243]

[@Rich-on6fe]

Nice effect. There must be other batik processes that could be used to good effect on turned wood. Working on fabric you usually use an iron and brown paper to remove the wax - though this could be difficult on a curved piece of wood (!)

[@MikeWaldt]

+Richard Ball I'm sure there are Richard, this is a fairly "crude" method, but quite effective....and above all great fun! Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care Mike

[@tommurphy1153]

Mike i found a distinctive edge between then black laquer and the mask (in my case a stencil)... did you and did you solve it?

[@MikeWaldt]

+Tom Murphy I didn't get that with the glue Tom, might be the lacquer, or the light rubbing with the Scotch pad that smoothed it before I noticed . i will check for it next time I do it. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend, you've got me wondering now :) Cheers Mike

[@lilybean4699]

Mike, I put this in your channel comments as well, but I'm asking for help from anyone ... I cannot find the Chestnut Ebonising spray in the U.S. and it can't be shipped from the U.K. in spray form. Please, what other products will work for this technique that I might be able to use? Is there a colored lacquer or will spray paint work? I LOVE this technique!!! And it's simple enough that even I can do it!!! Thanks!

[@robertlangley258]

LilyBean I know it’s a little late and don’t know why he didn’t answer but if your still wondering I would use any surface paint system you care to. It’s just a top coat.

[@TurntasticWoodDesigns]

Very nice. Where can I get that ebonizing lacquer spray?

[@MikeWaldt]

+Turntastic Wood Designs Thank you. The spray I used is by Chestnut Products here in the UK, I'm not sure if they can ship it overseas, but I would imagine a similar product could be found over your side of the pond :) Take care Mike

[@joescarborough1]

+Turntastic Wood Designs Not on this side of the pond, but it is a matte acrylic lacquer if that helps in your search. An automotive store may have that kind of spray. Translating UK products to US is tough sometimes. You can get a can from Amazon(UK) if you're willing to spend £60 ($87) a can to get it here. --Joe

[@paulmcgrath3159]

Great video Mike! Looks awesome! Surprised to hear that you live so close to me! Where a outs are you? And also you mentioned a local woodturning club? Sounds very interesting.

That is just a lovely idea!!
