Woodturning an Economy Bowl From Mahogany

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

A neat little trick when jointing. Mark both of your preferred faces, joint one with the mark to the fence, the other away from the fence, that way cancels out any slight anomaly in your fence.

[@fowlerfinefurniture]

I had no idea how this was going to work but I am very impressed. Can't wait to try it!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

you should. its fun and cheap. use scraps.

[@ArabianKnight7771]

Awesome Work

[@Grabber10]

Bob Grabowski What a great idea. Bowl turned out fabulous. Nice work

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Grabber10 thank you! Let me know if you make one as well.

[@tomspallone1868]

Great job. Love mahogany. Subbed!

[@jjp95136]

What angle did you cut your rings at on the band saw? In a similar process on the scroll saw you use a formula to calculate the angle based upon the thickness of your stick, how wide you want each ring to be, etc. Cutting them at the correct angle results in the stacking with smooth edges.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

45 degree, and made each ring 3/4 bigger.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Thank you I have been looking for the answer to how much bigger each ring should be, appreciate it

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Larry Jacobs no problem :)

Love that you drive a 90s yota pickup. I used to have a 93 double cab. Wish I still had that thing...I’m sure it’s still out there running!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

just hit 300,000 miles....

[@JamesSmith-ji6yx]

Great bowl. Like the finish.

[@TaylorRaine]

Right on!!!!!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

FUN IN THE SUN glad you liked it.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Very nice work. I like how you turned the lathe to make the larger bowl work. I do a lot of segmented turning. I definitely will give this method a try.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Paw Paw’s WorkShop thank you for the support.

[@sapphodesigns2377]

Bravo...nice big Greek salad in that bowl👏👏👏

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Fifi Gazepis thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[@josealencar2822]

Qual e o grau usado para cortar os anéis de madeira na serra fita? Obg

[@David-pd8xc]

Beautiful, beautiful job!

[@thefish5861]

Nice job! You’re a fun guy to watch, too.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

TheFish thank you!! Everyone loves this bowl. I’m going to make another soon.

[@r5yamaha]

Have you tried changing the shape rather than the funnel shape which is unstable

[@Santamonicadrainco]

really can't with a economy bowl....

[@RCW-Designs]

this is beautiful man! Great job!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Rowland Custom Woodworking I'm glad you liked the bowl. I've got some 8/4 oak drying that I want to try this on.

[@thomassmith2180]

Batiful jobii

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Thomas Smith thank you 🙏

[@conspiracychat1]

Nice looking bowl! great job!!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Taylor Raine thank you. Glad you liked the finish.

[@kenbrown5218]

How do you make your friction? Polish please. I have never seen you guys before. 👍🍺🇬🇷

[@Santamonicadrainco]

boiled linseed oil. denatured alcohol. shellac. 1/3, 1/3, 1/3

[@davegower123]

Nice job! Beautiful piece!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Dave Gower thanks for watching. It’s made a great salad and fruit bowl.

[@AllenOxendine]

Your video showed up on my side bar, thought I’d revisit.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Allen Oxendine thanks 🙏

[@henrydboys8867]

Wow! Beauty bowl 👍👍

[@Santamonicadrainco]

henry dboys88 thank you

[@AllenOxendine]

Thanks for sharing. I've just purchased my first lathe, been working on a stand. Can't wait to start practicing...

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Allen Oxendine what do you mean stand? Does the lathe sit on like a bench top? Post some pictures when your done. I’ve been using the lathe for 5 months now and it’s been a blast, I’m really happy I bought one to

[@AllenOxendine]

Stelios The Greek sorry, I'm building a table to hold my lathe. 4x4 legs should be heavy enough hope. 2x11s for top

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Allen Oxendine sounds like you got it covers. I’ve got a video making a kids bench and I used 4x4’s and constructions grade lumber. Check it out and maybe you can use that as a plan to make it adult size.

[@haljay2125]

Kudos for using 'real' tools instead of easy scrapers

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Hal Merriman thank you for watching.

[@acemaker2002]

Just found your channel. Nice!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Stephen Blakley thank you! Let me know what you want to see next !

[@joeldoespiritosanto3614]

Gostaria de saber o que você usa para dar brilho nas peças

[@Santamonicadrainco]

joel do espirito santo thanks for watching.

[@gwartard]

You could have clamped the way it sat at 7:40

[@beav1962]

Were you using the wing of the gouge to shear scrape? I never have luck with that. Always a catch for me.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

beav1962 I like using the gouge. One tool one setup on the grinder.

[@joeromanak8797]

Good vid. I like your “gitter-done” approach to the glue up. Others spend a lot of time building and using clamping jugs and their blanks don’t run any more smooth and balanced than yours did. Me likee! 😎👍

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Joe Romanak thanks man! People spend to much time overthinking how the hobby.

[@jeeperscreepers4x435]

Are you still satisfied with this lathe? Knowing what you know now would you buy this lathe or would you buy a different brand and or size? Thanks!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Shoota 94 hey thanks for the comment. Today I picked up my new laguna 18/36. My jet broke. I guess it couldn't handle how active I was. Tonight I'm posting the video. I go into all the details.

[@jeeperscreepers4x435]

Stelios The Greek thank you. I'll be watching!

[@joeldoespiritosanto3614]

I would like to know what you use to brighten the parts

[@Santamonicadrainco]

joel do espirito santo watch my friction polish video. I’ll show you how to make the special polish compound.

[@TaylorRaine]

bring ice water to the room!!! ahhhhhhh

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Ok

[@giselebouchard5575]

J'aimerais avoir les traduction en français

[@DovahkriidRoy]

9:35 is this video in a nutshell

[@oscarleedavis8258]

he didnt even make a bowl he just made his hat

[@georgevalente4223]

It's a funnel. Not a bowl.

[@georgevalente4223]

Bowl? It's a funnel. Very unstable.

[@Santamonicadrainco]

bowls more stable then your ex wife :)

[@TaylorRaine]

come shut my door because its looooouuuuuuuudddddddd

[@Santamonicadrainco]

FUN IN THE SUN ok

[@robertcornelius3514]

Thumbs down must have come from your competition. Like Mike Peace and Jimmy Clewes. Lol

[@_jurist]

I’m sorry but I don’t see the giant thumbs up button

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Jurist thank you 🙏

[@kc696969]

Ot of time watching paint dry.

[@mycameraview]

You must be living quite close to an airport

[@Santamonicadrainco]

mycameraview LA. Santa Monica. Big city. Lots of noise I guess.

[@thevillagewoodturners3879]

Nice bowl but what an annoying woodturner

[@Santamonicadrainco]

Les Buck lol. Thank you for the kind words. I’m more of a woodworker not a turner. I’m still learning this machine.

[@randysmith4344]

What a jerk! Hateful reply. You should thank the man for caring enough to share his knowledge.

[@David-pd8xc]

Beautiful, beautiful job!

[@Santamonicadrainco]

David Holliday are you related to doc holiday? Thanks for watching.
