Woodturning - Another Flying Bowl - Ash knot [knot quite a burl]

[@williamfawkes8379]

As others have said, that grain turned out to be really cool. I love seeing you have to work and rework to get through a problem, it sucks for you, but its really great for us, and is much appreciated. I like being able to see it, as you stop and consider the next step, it's nice to get a good look at the piece as it progresses.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate you mentioning that, because that's what I've been hoping people will get out of my videos. Of course I could edit it to show a smooth process and flawless execution, but there's enough of that already on YT. I want to show what real turners run into with any given project and the problem solving required along the way. It definitely slows the pace of my videos and probably limits my potential audience quite a bit, but I want to provide some value to the turning community. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

@Dane Avery pro trick, this copy and paste spam is annoying, so why don't you stop. We've all heard about you GF and you before.

[@williamfawkes8379]

@Chris Malachi How wonderful for you, do you let your GF watch too?

I love the grain in the bowl...I've never seen a knot on an ash tree.

[@hccdoc]

Nice save, Chad! The grain in the bowl is beautiful. Definitely worth seeing it through to completion. Well done!

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thank you, Greg!

[@pigeonmanof180]

Lol the way that came off right at your chest. Nice piece. I appreciate you speaking your thoughts regarding design decisions and problem solving. More time sanding and stabilizing than actual turning, but that’s what it takes to produce something unique and beautiful like the piece you produced. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. Sanding can easily be half or more of the work. It's not glamorous or particularly fun to watch, but it's the reality of it. I cut out a LOT of sanding from most of my videos. Thanks for watching!

Nice save! The bowl is another beaut. Good job.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thank you!

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Good hands Chad (cricket man?) I love your determination to carry on despite the setbacks along the way. All the best. Ray

Thanks 👍

Hi Chad.....okay, enough with the thrills....I was actually expecting more of a shrapnel explosive effect given the through and through crack and the seeming dryness of the stock. You are in line for a home base umpire's vest for Christmas. Very nice end piece....stay healthy and best to you.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks, Skip! I was lucky it didn't crack, but it did end up with a subtle dent from my tool rest, I think. But I don't count it as a flaw, I count that one as part of the bowl's story. Haha. You're right, it was very dry wood, but it cut much more easily than dry ash usually does. I hope you're doing well! As always, thanks for watching!

Nice bowl Chad.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@grampashorty8468]

Nice catch. Good choice with the C.A. glue, it looks beautiful. An awesome piece of wood. ThankQ

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great job with this nasty piece of wood. I was afraid you were about to open up a hollow section. Glad to see it was only a nasty crack, which you took care of well. Looks like it ended up being end grain as well. Makes for an unusual piece since we’ve gotten so used to side grain orientation. When I saw it fly up toward your face it was good that you laughed and caught it. My 1st thought was you need to change the name of your channel to “As the Bowl Flies”. Beautiful bowl and great work getting there. Thanks

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Haha... yeah, I've had my fill of flying bowls lately. I need to do a nice, safe, simple project for the next video.

[@RadioFaceWoodWorks]

Nice piece Chad...glad you didn't get hurt...didn't know they made a lathe with a self ejecting feature 🤣hope you have a Merry Christmas ...stay safe...press on 😎

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Haha! I know, right... they come off there quickly. Merry Christmas!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Beautiful bowl mate, thanks for sharing!

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks for watching!

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

This may be a dumb newbie question, but I'm curious why you wouldn't just decide to flip the project and make the crack at the top. That way it would have been turned away, right?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

That's possible and it may have worked just fine, but there's no guarantee that there's enough solid wood on the other side to create a tenon. Mostly, though, I wanted a natural edge piece. Thanks for watching!

[@quietinspirationcreations3448]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Ahhh, the edge, I forgot about that, thank you for sharing!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Nice cat-like reflexes! How do you like the power cap respirator?

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks... lol... OMG, I absolutely love the respirator! When I first used it, I flinched a few times at the shavings flying toward me because the thing is crystal clear and surprisingly easy to forget you have on. I was thinking about doing a review of it after I've had it for several months. They're a bit pricey, but my lungs have never felt safer.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Thanks for the info, trying to decide between that and the Trend. Seems as though the Powercap is more comfortable from what I hear.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Hey Chad! Great catch man!! Lol This was a great project! Glad you were able to save that bowl despite the crack. It turned out beautifully! Seth

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

The bowl was just making sure I was paying attention! Thanks, Seth!
