Woodturning Scary Cherry

[@LandoHitman]

Even with a delicate touch, that glue ought to be commended.

[@Luckingsworth]

Wood glue is stronger than wood itself. That bond is strong enough to withstand much higher forces.

[@Luckingsworth]

@Max Paine Use the proper glue. Not all glue is meant for all surfaces. Properly prep the surface by cleaning it thoroughly, ending with a wipe with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry completely, and use the proper glue for the surface. Certain surfaces might also need to be scuffed up with sand paper prior to final cleaning.

[@ClubPenguinMaster88]

@@Luckingsworth Think about how thin the contact is, though, even if it were just wood, no glue, it would have a rough time holding together. Certainly wouldn't take any sort of forces.

[@BeardedGoof]

@Nep Nep Nep Nep I have the same luck my friend lol xD

[@JayBandit]

I totally thought that was going to blow apart near the end. What a cool end result!

[@mbrad698]

First time I've ever seen a hand grenade turned on a lathe. Great Job.

[@brnforce]

I love the effect of the bottom flare. It gives it neat feet that I haven’t seen on other items. Great work.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@CaptnAllIn]

Agree, only thing I would have been cooler was if the bottom was a complete band like the top. That flair in a full ring would look so neat!! Awesome work though! You are fun to watch!!!

[@Velgar_Grim]

Friend: Sends him a chunk of wood. Humphrey: 90% of this would look great as shavings on my floor. Still awesome looking thing. Takes a real artist not to explode a thing like that.

[@victoriaeads6126]

But....he can save the shavings, cast them in resin, and MAKE ANOTHER BOWL! It's genius 😀

[@Fluffy_Cow]

I'm curious how this would look with different colors resins filling the gaps. Good job, it looks amazing!

[@starhawke380]

Me too, when he said the person he got the wood from did an epoxy fill on his part, I thought he would do the same. That would look amazing in this bowl pattern.

[@patsulek1570]

Was thinking the same

[@pp_jasperki]

My thought exacly

[@Scrogan]

It could look good, but it would take some of the charm from this bowl. Not to mention how much easier it would have been to turn had all the gaps been filled with resin in the first place.

[@cgamejewels]

yeah. I was thinking about filling it with resin too.

[@BenHayat]

Mr. Humphrey, you are the best. Wood working, many can do. Vision is something rare to have. And you're gifted with both.

[@scottwallace4864]

I was actually waiting for you to say, “and this is where it all blew apart”. Great looking piece. I’m glad it turned out for you the way it did.

[@harmbaakman]

Ha! 'Turned' out :-) pun intended?

[@TVnater]

I used to be a huge fan of woodturning on youtube, and for some lucky reason youtube blessed me with this video. And what a fantastic one at that.

[@chaoticconjuring]

“Look deep in to the bowl. Watch it spin and hear my voice. Subscribe...” had me cracking up!! I think this is my new favorite piece that you’ve made. It’s absolutely beautiful!! I was holding my breath when you were going thinner and thinner out of fear it might break, but you did it flawlessly. This was so much fun to watch! Thank you so much for sharing it 💜 With spring coming up in a week do you think you will make a resin inlaid piece to celebrate? Maybe something with a butterfly, flowers, or birds?

[@longhornboi16]

Made me LOL and then realize that I'm already subscribed ^_^

[@NDH]

Oh! Me too!

[@RHumphrey]

LOL 😁 thank you so much! Something a little different for Spring, I think... still trying to get a handle on the idea.

[@evilbrat5376]

When I heard that I stopped - reran and had to listen again - to cool.

[@strokerace575]

I can't believe this thing stayed intact it's not everyday you worry about woodworking projects blowing up in your face

[@keithkeyser9546]

This gentleman is braver than I am. No way I could get through that project without taking shrapnel.

[@kevinallen4069]

Oh yeah... In my garage, it’s everyday!!!😂😂😂

[@rickhubbard7342]

That has to be the worst bucket I've ever seen made! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant sir. I just have to wait for my finger nails to grow back, :)

[@patsulek1570]

😂😂😂

[@RadINation]

Flex tape ought to fix that

[@phalcon23]

There a hole in the bucket dear Liza....

[@UkeOne]

You are indeed 'in-tune' with your projects, and this one is beautiful. I love watching you as you work.

[@DatBoiOrly]

[@johnmcdonald587]

Beautiful! I haven't touched a wood lathe since high school nearly 40 years ago. It was my favorite tool in the shop. After watching these great videos I'm seriously considering purchasing one second-hand. These projects have inspired me.

[@frankcastillo2855]

If "Best Wood-turning Suspense Thriller" was a category in the Oscars, this would get it.

[@Vovka_BC]

Amazing! I cant believe it hasn't collapse. Delicate work!

[@robynm7221]

Oh, that I could only see What this cherry wood wants to be. I ponder, wait, and low and behold, It tells me it wants to be a holy bowl! Watching you work is like watching a movie. You have passion, suspense, drama, and in the end you have sucess!! You Sir Humphrey are an amazingly, insightful, creative genius!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏 Maranatha 🕊 ✝️

[@just-dl]

I think watching (from the outside) you scrape the inside of the bowl is now my favorite bit of videography. So flipping cool!!!

[@saikoutheguardian]

"I wanted to make it thinner" nervousness intensifies. I'm glad it went well, and beautifully, too!

[@bobcade1002]

Your skills are amazing! One little over pressure and that whole project blows up. Sharp tools and very steady skills make for a very beautiful cherry bowl! Thanks for sharing.

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

The part about "look deep into the bowl. Hear my voice..." was great. When you said "look into the bowl..." I thought " what are we looking for?" Then you started the hypnotic sequence. Your amazing skill and work is just plain wonderful. Semper Fi. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@thepoisonone6467]

You really know how to get beauty out of any piece of wood, whatever it may be... the gorgeous soul of wood. Thanks for sharing this amazing piece. My new favorite.

[@AdamTheEvangelist24]

Simply AMAZING! I really thought you were going to do an awesome trip to the pressure pot like your buddy did, but there you go on another excursion outside the box. Absolutely fantastic!👏👌👍🙏😇✝

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@patriciaborron94]

Your mind, skill, vision and artistry has created another piece of beauty. I truly appreciate your sharing your journey to a new challenge. Thank you so much for putting your videos out where I can watch you transform a beautiful piece of wood to a whole new creation that brings joy to watch.

[@jodygroshon7969]

Well named project. I was I the edge of my seat the whole time. Ghost bowl. Scary as hell. SEMPER FI.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks Jody, I was hesitant with the name, but it was so accurate, lol! Semper Fi

[@MrAmps]

Just wow. An excellent demo of technique on the inside of the bowl. Lovely end product.

[@Choice777]

Someone buy this guy a 3d printer...this is just madness.

[@CrossSeiko]

I was on the edge of my sit the whole time! Beautiful bowl! So different! So thrilling!

[@staciebanks7935]

Your voice is so calming. Love how you explain everything in so much detail. Ps nice work you did here

[@ssmith2019]

Thanks for sharing your craft with us !

[@phionella7]

That was one of the coolest wood turnings I've watched!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@russelldavis6159]

patricia here... boy howdy mr H!!! you had me on the edge of me seat just hopin that nice piece of wood wouldnt bust up--- i woulda just cried..... so glad it turned out well!!!

[@lutherchristinaparker4219]

I can only imagine the anxiety while turning this bowl. Stunning work even without the resin I just knew you were going to use! The patience not to blow it apart! Subscribed!

[@jamesdearinger3674]

You, sir, are one brave turner. That was indeed a scary proposition. And worth every tense moment.

[@Yosenku]

i was really hoping you were hoing to throw some red resin in there to make a checker bowl. this is still so beautiful! great job again!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! Maybe next time!

[@JS-DeepStar]

Wow! Love it and as my wife walked by she really gave a double thumbs up.

[@jbsoul4575]

I can't see how all that constant hammering of the tools didn't shatter it.

[@andrewcodelka5158]

100% positive i would never have had the stones to try that! Well done. Talk about having patience and not getting greedy with the depth of cut!

[@fliptop62deceived95]

Very cool idea! However the suspense factor of whether this bowl was going to fly apart and kill you was worth it!!! Nice work. Cheers from Australia.

[@tatkinsful]

Man what a touch ! I must admit that the entire time I watched my butt was scrunched up so tight that you couldn't have drove a straight pin up it with an 8 pound sledge hammer. When you started sanding between them I though , Don't let it pop now. Glad to see it completed ! Going to take a nap now, I'm wore out !

[@glencrandall7051]

At the beginning I thought, "This isn't the precise guy I am used to seeing". Then it began to look better. Then the spin started and I thought no way it will hold together. And during the whole thing I was on the edge of my chair. Hey, wood turning is supposed to be soothing, not nerve wracking, and I was just watching. And then you said you wanted it thinner. I just knew it was going to come apart. Well it didn't and it's finished and now I can finally relax. I can only imagine how you felt when it was over. Thanks for another VERY interesting visit to the Humphrey shop.

[@tinaprocaccini4351]

Hi Rod, Every video you always surprise me, on what you start with and what you end with. This video tops them all. You are the best of the best

[@kenjohnson5498]

6:14 am was to early to watch this, it was like watching my youngest play dodge ball with bowling balls on edge the whole time lol Turned out great

[@joelboston4582]

WOW wowie wow wow!!! You like livin on the edge. Semper Fi...WOW WOW!

[@riskinhos]

instructions unclear, doesn't hold water. small pond in living room.

[@mattfairfield9103]

The way you can see through the bowl as it gets thinner and thinner is the coolest thing I’ve EVER seen! Haha

[@KevinCoop1]

Rod, When you put X2 and X4 on the screen, was that "pucker factor" too? Well done sir! Respectfully, Kevin

[@evilbrat5376]

That is a big YES.

[@Torta--is--PLUR]

I think your friend will be jealous of this one. It's so elegant and what an amazing piece

[@Majonez616]

there was a nice piece of cherry that was turned into a basket that looks like it was made from plywood scraps.

[@davidhawley1132]

Paweł Majewski Masterful work, but somehow the result is underwhelming. Finishing perhaps, or just the photography.

[@arjr721]

Great job. Beautiful product. Amazing labor of love. Semper fi

[@TheOatmealGuy]

The World: The Virus is killing everything Me: Hey check out this neat bowl I saw on the internet.

[@poppyspix4444]

WOW, I was holding my breath the entire time - just knew it was going to disintegrate at any moment. Beautiful!

[@levismadore556]

This is NOT « riding the bevel »: this is a case of the bevel « flirting with the wood ». And we all know how flirting can swing from a pleasurable consent to a loud and cracking « NO ». Levis

[@lms7433]

You're a brave man, sir! Well done

[@n.d.378]

oh, i thought this was going to end in resin. like: putting it as a fill in to those holes.

[@thesage1096]

many wood workers do amazing work. but this one....this one i can truly say is both unique and amazing. never before have i seen such a technique or project.

[@chrismangum4541]

Once again I'm so in awe of your creations.

[@frankfowler8295]

That is incredible! Unbelievable craftsmanship. Thanks for showing us what is possible. Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing.

[@garysickler2179]

definitely one of my favorite turnings. Thank you for sharing

[@NOMASTER1021]

Even though I haven't seen your vids before, it sounds like all who have are lucky to have seen your projects ahead of me. It's a very gorgeous bowl.

[@tp2808]

Is it just me, or does everyone also agree that this man's voice is soothing?

[@witnwi]

Wow!! You have some vision my friend. Excellent build and turn. Thanks.

[@kevinmurphy5506]

Beautiful, and inspiring. Thank you.

[@WoodsGhost]

The skill involved in this is phenomenal. Great job Mr. Humphry!

[@JohnSmith-kw9yc]

I appreciate your commentary through the process, I'm tired of videos that are all show and no tell.

[@peterherrington3300]

Wonderful , courageous and unique piece Sir All credit to you

[@ericsarchive7718]

That is an amazing piece. Watching you work had me holding my breath through most of it. So glad the glue held. Nice delicate touch.

[@vasilivladivostok1136]

This is the kind of distilled madness the world needs right now. Good job!

[@ellenyager9577]

How delicate! Gorgeous! Well done! Best, Ellen

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Looks like a basket to me. And I could see that you used all your experience to make such a delicate piece. Nice. Thx.

[@standswithfish]

It's really thin but I want to go thinner! That's the spirit! Beautiful project!

[@cschlater]

You could say that it isn’t the bowl that is the beauty. It’s what isn’t the bowl that is. I like it, as always. It’s like a breath of your soul, i think.

[@akamai897]

Great project R. I like wood projects that make the viewer say "I didn't think you could even do that with wood!" I aspire to your level of creativity!

[@daveepperly2712]

Robert, absolutely stunning! That is beautiful! That’s proof that, just like in life sometimes taking a risk can turn out to be something extraordinary! Well done!

[@boydmerriman]

Great imagination at work! The more you try, the more you learn, and the more you learn and experiment, the more your imagination works!

[@TheCompanyVideoLog]

Keep up the great work. I never really had a knack nor inclination to do artful things like this, but for some reason, I get a real deep appreciation for what you do and the things you create. I get a feeling a peace and happiness from it that I cannot explain and it enriches my life. A sincere thanks from me to you and yours.

[@missannjack]

Your friend's bowl was very nice and beautiful, but, your bowl was outstanding and really, really gorgeous.

[@KennettBTurned]

Wow Rod! Placed by eye, with little glue surface! And going super thin! Spectacular video and great piece! Thanks for taking the time to share with us all! Mert

[@Get-off-my-lawn-00]

No guts, no glory! Really great result. Be proud.

[@JTMusicbox]

That’s crazy! A great looking final piece but it’s amazing you could pull it off with how much you could see through while turning.

[@SuperKristinG]

This has to be one of my favorites! It's absolutely gorgeous. You do amazing work.

[@zzapzzin]

Great show, and you are right - I was on the edge of my seat - but worth it , that's a nice bowl in the end. Cheers

[@garyroylance3171]

What a cool looking project, I wouldn't have thought that the glue would have held together that well during turning. Nice work!

[@maddieadams75]

Master Woodturner.. when the limits are pushed with success. Amazing skills. Beautiful piece of art. ❤️

[@memnun5615]

absolutely stunning work! you can see all the years of experience in such a delicate turning. amazed that it stayed together with just glue, must've been some tough horses!

[@jst1man]

Working with that thin of wood while turning is amazing. I wish I had that skill. Thanks 4 the show..

[@davedowding5883]

Exquisite! What a study in careful fine techniques. Such a unique design. I really enjoyed the outside shaping of the foot. This is going to be one of my favorites for a long long time. Thank you for sharing this.

[@christopherhathaway6767]

That was mesmerizing - truly remarkable piece of craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.

[@beverlylumley4150]

And THE TURNER AWARD goes to R.Humphrey. stunning, congratulations

[@vickibelcher712]

It turned out beautifully! Just gorgeous!

[@TheLaughingDove]

I've never gotten anxious from watching a woodworking video before

[@kathoakes929]

All I can say I WOW! This is beautiful and so different.

[@techonce989]

Amazing bowl. The see through effect while turning was very cool.

[@BartdeJong85]

I've been watching a lot of woordturning videos lately. A lot of the time you see someone turn more than three quarters of their blank into sawdust. I love this technique because it's so economical. You barely have to waste any wood and still get a huge, and gorgeous, bowl.

[@dedethoven1]

Wow what a touch you have and no sign of panic, this is a monumental piece. Wonderful, you had my respect but with this one it's even greater please don't stop

[@tschallacka874]

Holy moly, that's awesome use of that cherry. Well done!

[@JoannaSergent]

Great job! It simply looks stunning! I know you were on pins and needles about it holding together, and those of us watching this were too. Scary Cherry is the perfect name for this.

[@fionakronert5060]

You have outdone yourself again Sir. Well done. Cherry is such a beautiful wood, and that certainly was a high risk project, and the result is stunning. Looking forward to your next post.

[@sharondelrio8791]

What are unique bowl. Again a beautiful work. I truly enjoy watching the art you envision emerge.

[@ericmorrison278]

The fact this stayed together Bowls my Mind!!!!! I think a project like this and then finding a way to get resin into each void would be something truly incredible, Good work all the same!!!
