Wood Turning Your First Emerging Bowl Easy

It was suggested that maybe I should show the easy way of making an emerging bowl.
Normally I turn them from limbs but this will be much easier to do.

Thank you very much Pat. These are lots of fun to do. Happy you enjoyed the video. Take care, Gary

Math, Oh NO, not math! There's no ;ace in woodturning for math! Of course I jest. Never thought my plane geometry course would turn out to be so useful! Math or not, this is a great video. Makes it look easy enough that I'll try it. Great job as usual.

Thank you Chris. I learned that crayon trick the first week of my wood pattern making apprentice ship. Been using it every since then. And that was a long time ago. Black crayon is the best. For some reason it is softer and seems to work much better.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

@@ThePapa1947 that is so cool. Now I have to research why the black crayon is softer! Probably because it needs more pigment than all the others. Very cool! Thanks Gary!

Well done. With regards to the size of the gouge, I believe if it’s made in Europe, the measure the inside of the flute and if it’s made in the USA, it’s measured on the outside. Stay warm! -11° F in east central Minnesota this morning

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Greg. Yes that is the way the gouges are referred to. If I buy gouges made in England I still go by the outside diameter. But that is just me. You have me with the -11. It was a blistering 20 degrees this morning LOL. Take care, Gary

Nicely done and demonstrated, Gary. My shop is put to bed for a week, or so (might sneak down on Boxing Day for awhile) but I'm happy to add this to my list of ideas for the new year. I've got a crotch piece I'm wondering if it could be emerging. I'll have to doodle a bit a figure out the method. I might try ripping it with a hand saw, or I may turn away the top half. I 'll have to think on it or ask a friend to rip it for me. You've got my wheels turning, that's certain. Thanks for a fantastic year of videos. Your video, audio, narration, edits, are all so good and consistent. Well don and Merry Christmas, happy holiday & happy New Year!

[@allyncross6973]

Hey Gary, That is a very pretty little bowl. Cute little rascal really. I am sure I am wrong but I just dont see that as an "emerging" bowl. It is more of a bowl with a plate on the side. To me an emerging bowl would be an end grain bowl growing from a limb and leaving the bark on the lower portion of the limb with only part of the outside of the bowl exposed. I have not made one of those yet but I did make an emerging goblet, again an end grain turn with the goblet and some stem growing from the branch. It was looking great but there was a small spot on the stem that I wanted to fix (should have used sandpaper and I learned that for the future) and I ended up busting the stem and sadly ruining the the piece. That is ok though we learn as we go I am still learning from folks like you. Yall have a Merry Christmas. :)

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Allyn. All but this one I have done from a branch. This was a piece of end grain wood as well but it had no bark. I do prefer the actual branch method but for someone trying it for the first time this is a good way to go. I did an emerging bottle from a branch a few years ago. It even has a branch coming out of the side. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas, Gary

[@johnfromfl8063]

I like your bowl you made . Great work. I have noticed some turners have their own style when turning. I have been watching different turners, and the way they use the tools is interesting. I take it after the first catch, and when the wood flies off the lathe, you learn quickly. I plan on trying my hand on turning soon and want to learn as much as i can before i start turning. Thanks for the video. It is very informative .

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much John. For sure there will be catches at first but you can learn fast if you see why that is happening. At work as a wood pattern maker I turned things over 6 foot in diameter and had a lot of mass to them. A catch on something that big will wake you up along with everyone else in the shop. I do have a video on avoiding catches with carbides. It is my method and others may have a different way but it works for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5eVZ5Kwp9x7nMU&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watchiing, Gary

Well you keep bringing back memories for me. I made two similair nut bowls to this for a Irish friend some twenty years ago - except it had a small indentation on the flat surface to place a nut to be broken by a small mallet. Very similar technique except I used a paper joint instead of hot glue to adhere the piece to the wooden face plate. A delight to see you go through the motions!

[@ThePapa1947]

What is the largest piece you have done with this style? My Laguna is a 20x42. Thinking about trying it on a larger scale.

[@ThePapa1947]

This it the largest I have done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3TYknSQbrWYpK8&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 You could do one to the max of your lathe but counter balance will be very important. At work I turned very large patterns(much larger than 20") that were way out of balance and adding some counter weight really helped. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@54lespaul77]

A very cool video Gary. Thank you for that! Using that method, is it possible to do a larger bowl like 4 or 5 inch diameter? I was thinking maybe it would get too out of balance? I will definitely try something along those lines. All the best Gary. Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Rick. If you increased the size in evenly from this one it would be pretty much the same. Only differences would be the extra mass. But easy enough to add counter balance pieces on a wooden face plate. I would have to look back on the first one I did from a branch but I am sure I did do just that. Best of luck, Gary

Re gouge size - Generally the Brits go by the flute size, the Yanks go by the shank size. You might think of it as two countries divided by a common language. (paraphrasing G.B. Shaw)

Thank you Bob, yes they do and I have a hard time calling the Sorby tools by their flute size when I buy them localy here next to others that measure the other way.

Thank you Des, happy it helped. I used a simple block just to make it easy to show how simple this is. I do like making them from a branch which I did recently with a piece of Apple. But more steps in mounting them on the face plate. Now I really feel cold....LOL But it was 20 degrees this morning but has warmed up to 23. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Gary

Very good demo Gary, both came out lookin nice, but your first one you did out of that beautiful Mimosa is gorgeous. Thanks again. Best wishes for you and yours for a very wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year. Cheers, Tom

Thank you Tom, Yes the Mimosa bowl has beautiful grain. I have the other half and saved the fixture to hold it for a long time. I think I will need t finish turning it even though most of the bark fell off. It has a cool pattern under the bark so I will put it on the list to finish it. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. Gary
