[@Dudley-x2c]

Mounting it off set made all the difference! Good idea. 👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

It definitely did! Thank you very much 😀

[@pathardage1880]

Interesting project with construction plywood. Interesting result as well.. Thank you.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@ToddHiller]

Wow! that looks great for plywood! gonna try this myself, thanks for the inspiration!!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Happy to help. Good luck!!

[@chaoticallyprofessional9528]

This is amazing! Every carpenter I know has a love-hate relationship with plywood but I would never have thought to stick it on a lathe! Incredible work, sir!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you so much for watching. 👍

[@larrysimmons7084]

Bravo, that offset did extraordinary things to the final turned product. Well done!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 👍

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

❤ Most people don't realize how beautiful pallet is ❤

[@RDMWoodturning]

It really is. Thanks for watching

[@karengilchrist9774]

Who would've thought that plywood could be so pretty!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. It turned out much better than I hoped! ❤😎👍

[@denvermiller3780]

Awesome job gonna have to try that

[@RDMWoodturning]

Have fun. 😀👍

[@mjrulez100]

I love the colours that comes out of plywood. Beautiful piece.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@k9insomniac783]

I learn something new from every wood turner. I’m pretty new and need all the help I can get! Seeing you offset it like that opens up so many doors. It’s a beautiful piece sir.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. It was a last minute decision, which transformed the bowl. 👍

[@chewyduck1355]

I've turned a dozen or so plywood bowls. I like to fill voids with fine shavings and the thin CA glue. I love the offset idea. That's going to be my next project. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Sounds great! Good luck 🙂👍

[@therealfragrocks]

From simple boring plywood to a beautiful interesting bowl! Stunning work.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Glad you like it! 😎👍

By off setting you made a very unique bowl. Well done.

Yes it does! Definitely something to try again in the future. 😎👍

[@paulorth2251]

Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed. The offset turning brings out some very interesting results. It makes one look twice at the pattern. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you for watching! Cheers! 😎👍

[@a.h.happydogs7898]

That is awesome! Try that again with your blue and yellow in between. Like the other bowl with the yellow and red. Love it.

[@RDMWoodturning]

I am definitely going to play around with plywood a little more. Hopefully I can add some extra colours. Big thanks for watching 😎👍

[@gmpsandw]

Wow wasn't expecting it to look that nice. Great job & idea!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Many thanks 😊

[@jameswallace7351]

I've been watching wood turning videos for a couple of weeks and every time I think I've seen everything one of you show something else that's so cool

[@RDMWoodturning]

Glad you like them! This one is a special bowl! 😃👍

I like it very much it’s amazing how you make plywood look so good. I also like the offsetting part. Thank you for another great project for me to try. If it half as good as yours I will be very happy. Cannot wait for your next turning 👍👍👍

[@edwardanthony195]

You can use thin-set super glue and sawdust to fill voids...I love the awesome lines you created in that piece...

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks for watching. I was in two minds to use sawdust or coloured CA glue. I think I got away with it, as the voids were quite deep. Cheers 😎😎👍

[@woodturningalvaro4507]

Great work. This piece it's beautiful. Awesome 😊😊

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@michaelshanahan2406]

I use a set of small kitchen spatula's to spread my glue. They work great and the glue won't stick to them.

[@RDMWoodturning]

I probably should use something like that, but glue on my fingers reminds me of being at school and making models out of cereal boxes and cardboard tubes.

[@stevenator0281]

That turned out well!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀

[@RDMWoodturning]

[@brendaspeight2106]

Plywood can be beautiful and your piece certainly was. Just tilting it that bit made such a difference. Bet the ply blunted your tools fast though! Love your videos, thank you.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Carbide tools really helped with this one... so much glue! Thanks for watching 😃

No idea why 46 people decided to be on Santa's bad list this year. Loved your offset bowl. Keep at it.

this shows me that i can use anything even plywood to turn. That helps someone like me since im just now getting into turning

Yes approx 10 mm. It really does bring the piece to life. Thanks for watching

I like those jaded lines in the bowl.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. Yes I’m really pleased with this effect... although it was a bit hypnotic when spinning on the lathe 😀

[@carolriley8472]

That is really pretty and I love how you turned it offset.

[@geoffl.2293]

I liked the offset also....But I would have loved to hear some comments as you work .🤪

[@roystheboy]

now this i have to try

[@RDMWoodturning]

It's loads of fun, but blunts your tools!!! Good luck

[@larrylambeth8610]

That is really cool - I'll have to try it. I notice you use Sanding Sealer a lot - i have not used it. What does that do after you sand?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks for watching. Sanding sealer acts like a primer or base coat for the finish. It improves the finish 100% I would strongly recommend! 😎🎄👍

Nice work! Good idea with your face plate ring to get the offset.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. It was chance that I thought of it, but what a difference!

[@BlueyPastle]

Great bowl RDM, off setting it was a brilliant idea. You gave it a great shape and having it showing so many layers at once is awesome. Keep on turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Glad you liked it! First comment too!!!

[@357bullfrog9]

Was the plywood hard on your chisel edges ?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Very tough, plus I had used loads of glue! This is where carbide tips come in useful!

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

Great bowl 😁👍🏼👏

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers! 👍

[@freerx1845]

Is that a bowl gouge or a roughing gouge you started with?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Bowl Gouge. But I should have used carbide from the start! Thanks for watching 👍

[@adriamiraguilar]

Hermoso !!!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Muchas gracias

[@michaelmckenney7214]

I’m not familiar with the sanding sealer you’re using. Does it give you the finish you show after one coat, or does it depend more on the sanding prep? Interesting project and good looking results. Thanks

[@RDMWoodturning]

The sealer is brilliant. Just one coat and it’s ready to finish. Honestly it’s a great product. Thank you very much for watching 👍

[@petermarshall5450]

Very clever and very nice....good thinking. I have a question: I noticed you used traditional bowl gouges on the outside of the bowl but went to a scraping tool for the inside.....was there a particular reason? Thanks again; Peter

[@RDMWoodturning]

I started by hoping that the traditional tools would stand up to the glue and mixed grain of the plywood. After sharpening my bowl gouge twice, I gave up and went to a round carbide tipped tool. This was a much better choice, but I still managed to dull and brand new tip, just from the inside alone! Hope that makes sense. Cheers 👍

[@GabiFodorrasRO]

Superb.....big like

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thesweetone]

Use a silicone spatula or sauce battery instead of a glue spreader, works wonders and are super cheap

[@RDMWoodturning]

I really do need to buy a couple. Thanks

[@kentheadley2400]

would be cool if you used a colored resin to adhere the pieces together

New to turning what kind of plywood is this?

5.5mm hardwood ply. Pretty standard in most DIY stores. Thanks for watching

Good idea Like

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you 😀👍

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Fantastic looking bowl RDM. The offset angle on this was a stroke of genius! Have you thought about creating 'plywood' from semi decent wood just to avoid any voids in the final piece? I'm not decrying use of Starbond (great product) but just to get that (near) perfect bowl... Thanks for sharing this. All the best. Ray

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks for the steer Ray. I am currently going through a 'glue up' phase, so I might well give that a try down the line. 😀

@@RDMWoodturning I've watched 5 videos and it's always cellulose and wax. I just some of these grain patterns would really pop if they had some stain and then sanded back. Just a thought, nice videos though, not too long.
