woodturning # 117 pierced bowl

here I turn a 1/8" thin bowl from walnut, with a flared rim and a small foot. I used my air carver for the first time to pierce a ring of random holes through the wood to create a pretty cool bowl in the end, ive started to watch other carvers as it has peaked my interest.
I hope that you enjoy this video

I have to admit I thought you ruined the bowl when you pierced it. Then you showed the final product. I love when I'm proven wrong lol. Absolutely Beautiful job. I really like how the grain almost has a swirl pattern look to it. We never know what will work or look good until experiment. Thanks for showing that gorgeous piece of work.

Ron Thank you for watching, I’m glad you liked it Take care Rob

[@PaulLockwood]

That turned out quite well Rob. I don;t think people realise just how much work and time it takes to do what looks a small amount of work. Well done!

Paul Lockwood Thanks for watching Rob

[@kentturkow1572]

Piercing, an interesting idea to add to bowl turning. The bowl is beautiful and the piecing accent is terrific. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

that was a piece of art my brother i can see clearly that you have been a great woodturner we have a lot to see from you !! keep up the good work !!

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Kostas I appreciate that my friend Thanks for watching Rob

[@oneshotme]

Enjoyed and thumbs up

[@mikedoyle5362]

Great job Rob. Really enjoyed the process. Made start thinking about some blanks to try it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Mike You should try it, I was worried that it would ruin the piece but I am very happy with it, I still need to turn the foot off, it only weighs 82 grams as is so will be even less when that's done 😊 Take care Rob

[@levismadore556]

That was daring, creative, and the results were stunning. Loved it. By the way, we seem to share the same lathe model. To prevent the shaft from turning, I have screwed in a bolt into the threaded hole at the outside tip of the shaft then secured the bolt with a wrench. Not pretty, but it works. Levis Canada

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Lévis Madore That’s ok if it works as long as nothing is damaged, I am saving for a laguna lathe, 18 or 24 I’m not sure Take care Rob

[@MikeWaldt]

Beautiful piece Rob, you certainly have much more patience than me mate :) Cheers Mike

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Mike No I don't lol, really it didn't take as long as I thought as long as the wall is thin it goes quick, only issue I had was it's a bit bitey 😉 Take care Rob

[@glenmckelvey5952]

What no out takes at the end lol . Beautiful bowl . I've been debating if I should make one of my scrapers into a negative rake . And after seeing how well yours worked I'm going to try it . Take care .

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Glen Yes do it, it really does a nice job of cleaning the surface up Lol there was 1 outtake but I left it out 😉 Take care Rob

Hi Rob! I came to this video from a link on Kostas's channel. I really enjoyed your work on this piece and like, Kostas, I feel inspired! I only have a Dremel so may look for a tool similar to yours for the piercing. Great looking thin bowl. Thanks for posting! Phil

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Hi phil Thanks for watching, I'm sure that your dremel would work like Kostas. Take care Rob

[@woodturningwithDave]

Great job Rob.well done

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

thank you very much

[@GordonRock1]

Super video, Rob! You made the piercing look easy but I'm willing to bet that it isn't. Thanks for sharing the idea. Take care, .....Gord

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, the key is a thin wall so that the piecing doesn't take too long, I'm sure too that there are better ways to do it more efficiently and effectively, so I'm sure to watch others, learn and apply it to a future project. cheers Rob

[@gcottee]

thats a great piece mate ,the piercing really sets if off .take care garry :)

Hi Rob. You should look at William Hunts’ turning videos. Looks like you would like what he does. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

dale Thanks for watching, I am subscribed to William hints channel Take care Rob

[@ianchappell4199]

Good job mate.....

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

thanks Ian

[@MGMakes]

Beautiful bowl made even better with the detailing. How long did it take?

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

MG Makes Thankyou, I probably had about 3 or 4 hrs In total in this bowl Take care Rob

[@jpwoodwork]

nice mate!!!

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Cheers JP 😊

[@kennethstensrud669]

It sounds like the fan in the motor should be payed attention to, it gives off a scraping sound when you turn the lathe.....

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

that is the belt that you can hear, i replaced the original belt as it stretched meaning my low speed was 660 rpm too fast, the belt i have now is modular fibre glass, and it makes the noise as each link of it turns on the pulleys. the motor is fine. thanks for watching Rob

[@richardstein7956]

Good job turning the thin rim in preparation for the piercing. How did the final sanding go? What did you learn from that?

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

richard stein The sanding went easy, the negative rake scraper took care of any tool marks etc so sanded very well Mostly I learned that you need to grind at an angle rather than at 90 deg as it gets a bit grabby. Take care Rob

[@richardstein7956]

Oh, I thought you did a sanding after the piercings as well. That's the step I'm referring to.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

richard stein Ah I see, yes I did 320-400 after, just remember to support the opposite side of the thin wall so not to break, no real pressure required anyway

[@jamesstewart1347]

Hi what kind of carver is it u used nice work

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

hi James, i purchased my carver at princess auto, it wasn't too expensive, it is 55,000 rpm thanks for watching take care ROb

[@hswing11]

Look at the cut line inside the bowl needs more TLC.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Thanks for improving my algorithm

[@hardtailsuicidaljockey6827]

AWESOME! Never seen piercing like that done before I'm new to turning love your channel keep up the great work !.......John

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Thank you Joe, I've seen it before and always wanted to try it but was worried to ruin a nice bowl, I'm glad I gave it a shot. Take care Rob
