Woodturning a Diamond Chain-Link Bowl

[@barryvenditti614]

Beautiful bowl. And accompanying music very nice too.

[@thomaswheeler5900]

Five people gave this a thumbs down? Unbelievable...... Beautiful work. I am a beginner turner at 58 and can only dream of someday turning something like this.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks Tom! No worries. They're probably still living in their mom's basement and are disappointed with their life decisions. LOL!

[@VTHokies1987]

One of the best I’ve seen you do! I love your craftsmanship and attention to detail. Just outstanding work!

[@fredwienbarg5051]

I have the same segment programs that you use but the instructions are not through enough for me. I have never been able to make diamonds until I watched this video. You cleared it up for me. Thank you!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Dan that is so gorgeous! Thanks so much for making me a ring! I can’t wait to see it in person. Hopefully I’ll do it justice! I’m very much a noob at segmenting but I’ll learn!

[@moonwoodworks4607]

Wow, that is beautiful. Can't wait to get my table saw and try one of these segmented bowls.

[@marciak9826]

Gorgeous bowl, Dan. Has a bit of an Egyptian look to me.

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Amazing precision on that. Beautiful

[@alfredoleiser]

beautiful work, i will tray to imitate it, thank you for the demonstration

[@stuartscott9646]

So lovely!

[@ItsKiraLyn]

Just came over from your collaboration with David... what a Stunning piece! I’m Astonished that your channel doesn’t have more subscribers... I’m going to assume it’s a fairly new channel! Subbed and I can’t wait to go check out more of your art work! This made my OCD so happy along with being very relaxing in and of itself! Hehe

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi KiraLyn, thanks for watching!

[@dmitrysolost6399]

отличная работа, Dan.

[@frankjimenez.c7441]

Precioso todos los trabajos que realizas 👍👍

[@gregj2647]

I just discovered your channel and your videos are great as is your work. Not quite sure I understand how you made the diamonds. The rings right before you glue then together to make the diamonds don’t look the same. I’ll have to watch again. My first complicated turning was using walnut diamonds outlined with maple and it was a challenge.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Greg, I'm not positive, but I think in this video I may have made two extra feature rings as spares.

[@gregj2647]

Dan Livingston Makes its about the 4:30 mark right after you sand the rings.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great looking bowl 👍

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Dan, I just found you from a collaboration you did with David Adamsen. Great video and a superb feature ring that had a lot of time and work invested in it. I have subscribed to your channel and having had a quick look at the thumbnails for your other videos I'm looking forward to watching them. Cheers.Huw

[@trikermansbike]

Hi 👋 now that is so nice tanks for the video.

[@jackstrange186]

Beautiful.

[@benjaminkorenarmwrestling9053]

Just amazing!

[@tomdenny8507]

I have to echo all the other positive comments here. great job!

[@stephendonathan6782]

WOW!

[@allanwagner4676]

Man that's a beautiful bowl you did.Dan i rely like video can't wheat to see more.

[@tcanales100]

I'm curious, It seems you've mixed details of two different bowl assemblies in this video, the Zig-Zag style (best seen at counter 4:33) and the chain-link style (shortly after at counter >4:36). It took me a while to figure that out, but I did see the clever trick that gives the chain-link effect back at 3:54. Nice

[@curtisstacy5829]

Beautiful piece. I am currently only doing segmented bowls. The problem I have is in the inside. There must be a difference in carbides as I seam to get bad catches with a round carbide. I am taking light cuts. Any suggestions? Thanks again for sharing your video.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Curtis, thanks for watching. Yep, I know what you mean. I sometimes too get them with a round carbide cutter on the inside. Make sure that your tool rest is as close to the project as possible. If dull, make sure to rotate the cutter head or sharpen it using a diamond stone. Make sure also that the horizontal height on the tool rest is cutting at the equator of the project. If all else fails, use a well-sharpened 5/8 bowl gouge to shape it down enough for the scraper.

[@curtisstacy5829]

@@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft Thanks for the reply

[@lyndacarter5090]

So gorgeous. Watching your prep work and putting the materials into the rings it strikes me how meticulous you are with your craft.

[@manuelstadlere.u.4638]

nice work

[@thegag64]

You’re segmented pieces are absolutely beautiful Dan!

[@fabiofreitas2257]

Parabéns 👏👏👏👏 sensacional

[@albertobugarinipuga8462]

hello mr dan.mire in your video that your bowl came out already segmented .. could you tell me if you have any program and if so, would you be so kind to tell me what it is called? .in advance thank you very much .. greetings

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hello! I use the WoodturnerPro software for segmented woodturning. Thank you for watching!

[@albertobugarinipuga8462]

@@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft thank you very much mr dan . for your answer to my question ... I congratulate you on your work is very good ... greetings 👍

[@peterhkoller]

Hi Dan, the software you are using, when you create a segmented piece either the bowl you made or a pen blank etc, can the software show what the final product will look like.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Not exactly, but close enough. The software does not take into consideration how you will shape it. But, it does comes close to showing you the final outcome.

[@nunziabiscotti2294]

Bellissima.

[@edkorsberg6441]

Your work is great as always but I wonder why you don't use a riving knife on your table saw. Watching those long slats of wood being pressed through the saw with no riving knife and no downward pressure has me seeing visions of the board catching and flying upward and back toward you. Obviously you know what you are doing but the table saw is a scary tool not to be taken granted of.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Ed, thanks for watching. I've had minimal trouble without it when cutting segments, but to your point, you're absolutely correct.

[@spin230]

Very nice work!! Where did you use the zig zag rings? Im a bit confused lol

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

On that video, I made two extra zig zag rings. One of those I mailed to KZbinr David Adamsen. The other one I still have for a future project.

[@spin230]

I see, I am actually using your video to make a diamond bowl. Last night I was in my shop till 11pm cutting the 32 degree pieces and clamping them together, lining them up took a bit of time. This morning I cut the ends off but then got rudely irrupted by one of my builders so I had to run to a job. Ever since I bought a lathe I’ve been addicted to turning and when I picked up a drum sander the quality of my bowls went up ten folds. Now I hunt for ideas.. Thanks for your video!!!

[@glennmacneil7957]

Wonderful bowl, where do you get the metal Nams plates?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Glenn, thanks. I got them from a local area trophy shop called Etch-Art Awards.

[@vicmusso6596]

Dan where did you get the medallion on the base of you bowl?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

I ordered those from a local trophy shop in my hometown. Etch-Art Awards.

[@rayoppel4474]

I’m thinking about adding a Jet 1632 sander to my shop , is there any reason I shouldn’t?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Ray, it's my favorite tool in the shop! Buy it!

[@rayoppel4474]

Thanks

[@thejunkye7395]

How many days you took to finish it?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

5 days

[@stevenjobbins2600]

Some brilliant skills Dan admire how meticulous you must be
