Woodturning - Blue Ocean Hybrid Sphere

In this video I show the method I mostly use for turning spheres.
If you have watched my channel for a while you will know I have turned quite a lot of spheres. For a long time I used the cup chuck method where you hold the blank between two cups and rotate it 180 degrees in between passes. This method works fine but I always found I was taking extra passes to get the perfect sphere resulting in the sphere being smaller than I intended, so I now find it easier to use a couple of ply templates as shown in this video...

Beautiful, beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. This reminds me of a snow globe. And this could be the beginning of the most distinctive billiards rack EVER! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@stevebader6385]

Talk about, measure twice, cut once! Simply beautiful.

[@christurner.168]

Is it wrong of me to like the resin shavings so much? A glorious piece.

[@Blaze_Nights]

Nope

[@desertsmeagol7073]

Nah they are majestic haha

[@zoeartrc]

Not at all, they are jewels 💎

[@ann717]

No I love watching them

[@PeterJavi]

Yes, this is actually considered a war crime under the Maastricht accord of 1923

[@katrinamitchell4300]

The way the resin interacts with the wood reminds me of the ancient Chinese watercolor scrolls, with the mountains vanishing into the mist. Otherworldly and awe-inspiring!

[@sachaehn4924]

You're the only person I've ever seen take total castoffs and turn them into museum quality art!

[@noahcount7132]

Your skill level is so advanced, Andy, that you make the execution of any project you undertake look easy.

[@helensarkisian7491]

Another piece that I could stare at and find it relaxing. Perfect hue of blue.

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

WoW! Thank you for leaving the resin mostly clear so the wood can still be seen. Bravæ!

[@HuhHowboutThat]

Breathtaking. Like it's own beautiful unique little planet. So relaxing to see inside. 🌎💙

[@Foxhunter49]

After the second measurement I thought it was done but, no, Andy has to make it to billiard ball perfection. Beautiful.

[@staceyritchie7100]

Another masterpiece from the master! Very beautiful!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Jules-77]

For me it represents our earth supporting the ocean with the intriguing sea bed visible. It’s a lovely piece however it speaks to you. 👌🏻

[@kathleenorr9237]

Perfect…resin colour is beautiful and compliments the wood so well. A few of these together in a big wooden dish would be fabulous!

[@soradjoey]

I love how this turned out. It is so amazing looking I could prob sit down and look this all over for hours and be amazed pretending its in its own little world!

[@AuntK68]

Looks like a glimpse at the ocean floor! Love it!

[@rennaehanson9996]

Absolutely gorgeous Andy,. I love it when you do things like this. 💓💓💓💓💓

[@mkdrivingzone]

I've seen Nick Zammeti, Heath Knuckles and Ben's Worx use contraptions to create spheres but I think the old eyecrometer is the best. Much better result. Much like your example here. Brilliance.

[@kimberleymatheson9219]

Beautiful Andy. Like a glimpse of the bottom of the sea.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Kimberley

[@noahdraven]

I love, love,love it 💖. I really love the blue, wood combo. Excellent choice.

[@michaelross8794]

OMG, I love it!!! One day...one day I'll be THAT good.

[@tsworld9183]

Wow what an amazing color you chose for that piece of wood, just beautiful.. great job... ❤️❤️❤️

[@Serenity_Dee]

Loving it! Funny that both of the wood turning artists I subscribe to on here posted videos of turning wood and resin spheres within hours of each other.

[@OdeInWessex]

That's beautiful, i love that, you have a fantastic eye to be able to make a sphere with only occasional reference to a pattern. Thanks for this.

[@susanvasquez3625]

So beautiful! Your blues are so perfect against your burl wood.

[@FranWhitten]

Very beautiful. Looks like wispy fog in the mountains.

[@ChrisSmith-yq9pr]

Behold the sparkling jewel created by the effervescent and ever so talented hands of Andy Phillip! You are such a perfectionist! Absolutely gorgeous Andy!!

[@tobiasstange8346]

This is skill - pure and "simple" (not simple, totally not simple!). I would like to learn those artisanal skills!

[@judithfairchild8620]

So very lovely. Something special for someone special.

[@funo6581]

I love burl and resin sphere’s. Just beautiful!

[@aia1229]

Gorgeous! I could look at that all day.

[@TheConwoman3]

Beautiful Andy! I have seen you turn lots of spheres over the years, I know you would not need a sphere jig. 💖💖💖

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Connie

Exactly. Andy is a sphere master 🤣🤣

Fantastic work Andy, at one point I though you were going to make Saturn,

[@pflick13]

I love to watch the edge of your piece while you are turning it. It goes from a bit wobbly to an almost perfect line. Another awesome creation!

[@lyonsden7830]

[@beatamichalska6220]

Amazing precision. You can use the sphere as an meditation object!!

[@amiedeangelis8915]

Love that this is the colours/burl in your logo. Awesome work Andy. Love your addition to the tail stock, super handy.

Truly remarkable -- thank you for sharing this video!

[@Luminary600]

Oh, this is just lovely! Beautifully done.

[@lisaanderson7128]

Andy, if I had the equipment to do this, I would create these perfect hybrid spheres and bowls to hold them. But, even more than that, I would pierce them with tiny eyepins and suspend them on clear filament to create miniature solar systems in mid-air. This was so perfectly beautiful! 😍 Absolutely exquisite! ❤

[@reggiep75]

Another fine project to lay eyes upon! 👍

[@monicawizz5711]

Everything about this is stunning 😍

[@briandoss9232]

Dude! That is freaking crisp!!!

[@Quickened1]

The jig Ben uses over at Ben's Worx seems to be the easiest way. What you did there takes years to master! Nice...

[@spappy2k6]

One of your best yet!

[@alanbregar]

That is a great piece done there Andy. It ended out to be a perfect globe and I like what can be seen inside

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Very nice! I hope one day I can make one as breathtaking as that.

[@heden1460]

I think that looks like an easier way to do a sphere. It takes the guess work out of it at least. It looks really nice.

[@amandatallis9875]

This is really beautiful I like the wood you have used is nice it's grain is niceand the sphere is really nice well done the colour is great

[@radnamar]

Relaxing to watch a master at work. :)

[@rdspencer147]

Never disappoint. Was wondering if you ever do give aways on your work? Minimum wage doesn't allow me to afford thing's like this and would love an opportunity to own one of these. Keep up the great work Andy, always get excited to see what you make next.
