Late to the video. Nice bowl. Look forward to more of your work

[@CroakyOak]

Thank you. One of the best things about KZbin is that quality content stays available for a long time. I’m glad you liked the bowl. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I'm a fairly new woodturner (at 68) and love the creativity and challenge of working with wood. Lately, I've been interested in off axis turning and your video came up in my feed. NOW, tomorrow at work (don't worry, I'm allowed) I'm going to have to binge the rest of your channel and wait patiently for your next three bowl turning! Nice jig. New subscriber!

[@CroakyOak]

Thank you so much for subscribing and binge watching. I enjoy doing multi-axis and off-axis woodturning, so there *will* be more videos featuring those techniques. If you liked this video, you’ll also be interested in the “Double Dish Valet Tray” here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6vFoaWip9GZiJI And the “Latticework Trivet Experiment” here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2S3mnajpt2sbM0

I see a brass rod through the center with two or three tiers of bowls or platters in graduated diameters - smallest at top. A decorative handle tops the whole thing. Now to serve the tea 😊👍

[@DancingFox6]

P.S. I was sure you were going to weight the off side with a block of wood. Nuts and bolt are a much better idea.

[@CroakyOak]

Thanks. I’ve had the big bolts for years and they come in handy once in a while.

[@CroakyOak]

Awesome! . . . except for the calories in the snacks that would be on all those levels. 🍰🍪🎂 😛 Thanks for watching and commenting again! 👍

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

I LOVE that off-center jig with the large bolt counterweight! That’s a brilliant design! The bowl turned out great! Just an excellent job all around! - Seth

[@CroakyOak]

Thank you very much! Please check back, because I’m going to be doing more videos like this. The two multi-axis videos that preceded this can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6vFoaWip9GZiJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2S3mnajpt2sbM0

[@stever746]

awesome turning

[@CroakyOak]

Thanks 👍

[@thefreemathtutor]

It looks very much worth finishing!

[@CroakyOak]

That is an interesting idea, but the bowl would have to be successfully remounted so it could be properly sanded. I’ll have to think about that. Thanks for the comment.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Very good idea! I like that!

[@CroakyOak]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked the video. Right now I’ve two other videos with multi-axis or off-center turning. They can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6vFoaWip9GZiJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2S3mnajpt2sbM0

@Steve, I don’t why your comment isn’t showing up here, but I’ll try to explain nonetheless. Hardwood lumber is a term used for wood that comes from trees that loose their leaves every year. Hardwoods are graded differently than softwood (wood from evergreen trees) and has different terminology to go along with the the different grading system. Whole books have been written on hardwood(s) so I won’t go farther than the question about thickness terminology. The thickness denoted by the x/4 system is the approximate thickness of the wood after cutting but before drying and milling. All wood shrinks as it dries and the amount of shrinkage varies depending on the type of wood and where the wood was cut from the tree. My experience has been that 8/4 dry rough cut hardwood is usually between 2 1/8” and 1 7/8’ before planing. The standard thickness of 8/4 hardwood is 1 3/4” after planing. 4/4 is usually finished to 13/16” and 5/4 to 1 1/16”. after that the finished thickness is typically 1/4” less than the x/4 thickness. Wood 6/4 and thicker is usually only sold in even increments. 6/4, 8/4, 10/4 etc. So an 8/4 board is about 2” thick at some point, but that is before the average retail customer ever sees the wood. Any piece of wood will also change in size as it gains or loses moisture. If a hypothetical 8/4 board is stored in a dry location it can shrink a bit and be less than the 1 3/4” it was when planed and vice versa.

[@dionlee3920]

do you mind sharing the plans for the jig?

[@CroakyOak]

I would if I had any. However, I improvised the entire project using whatever I had on hand and didn’t precisely measure anything. The plywood disc with the weights (bolts) attached is about 15” in diameter, if that helps at all. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@svkenobi7587]

I am really interested in exploring multi axis turning. Could you possibly PM me a copy of the dimensions and layout of the jig you are using?? Thankyou in advance.

[@CroakyOak]

When I do experiments like this I use whatever I have around the shop and I rarely bother making exact measurements of anything. In my opinion, this kind of turning is more about balance than absolute measurements. That said, I’m guessing the plywood disc is about 15” in diameter. I know the bolts used as counter weights are 1” bolts 3” long and the bolt holding the piece being turned is 3/8” in diameter. I realize this probably isn’t what you were looking for but with regards to this project, it’s all I’ve got. Good luck with your woodturning and thanks for watching and commenting.

[@villain1409]

What type of wo0d is it,i am watching getting turned? And thanks.

[@CroakyOak]

Hi Villain, thanks for watching another video! The wood being turned in this video is poplar. More specifically, a blank glued up from several pieces of 8/4 poplar. For those unfamiliar with U.S. lumber terminology, 8/4 (spoken as “eight quarter) is about 1 3/4” (44 mm) thick after finish planing.

[@villain1409]

@@CroakyOak The reason i ask what type of wo0d was,because of watching wo0d turning,i bought 2 lathes. A large one & a smaller one,i have made a few things,so i like to learn what type of wo0d,advanced turners use. I have mostly turned hard wo0d & i noticed that the w0od you used lo0ked softer than the wo0d i turn,so yes,thank you.

[@CroakyOak]

Poplar is definitely softer than hard maple, walnut etc. It also has a very consistent grain and is much less expensive around here, which is why I use it for projects that are still experimental. Interestingly, poplar is an excellent choice is you are planning on painting the wood. I considered using 2x lumber for this, but the difference in hardness between the earlywood and latewood can make a mess of things and cutting around the knots is usually not worth the hassle.

[@villain1409]

@@CroakyOak Very nice,i will keep all this in mind,as i really want to turn softer wo0d & i have not yet painted my work,but i was lo0king @ air-brushes in Amazon,so i will really need to give it all a try & thank you very much.

[@CroakyOak]

You’re welcome. Glad I could help.
