Woodturning - Time

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Challenge of the week: I'm using a bandsaw cut to profile the triangles into a near seamless hollow cylinder, but what is the name of the cut that changes the bevel angle from zero at the apex to say 16 degrees at the corners? It's not a compound cut.

[@robcpwoodturner]

Acute? 🤔

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

​@@robcpwoodturner Hi Rob. The bevel angle varies along the side (3:41 in the vid); I guess they do fall into the acute angle range, but it's whether there's a name for ramping the piece through the cut in order to achieve this changin bevel angle? It probably doesn't matter what to call it I guess, but was thinking someone must have done this before.

Just found your channel, now binge-watching your beautiful and spell-binding work and amazingly edited videos. 😍😍 But I have no idea what you just said - I don’t do maffs!! 😆 You do truly amazing work Ray, just beautiful. I can’t tell you how much watching your videos is helping me right now. God bless you and thank you for sharing. 🙏☺️

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

@@thecalicoheart7946 Thanks for your kind words and support! I hope future videos will be equally as entertaining. Take care. Ray

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Wow .. 😱😱 This is a an absolute WOE ! right up my street for design 😍😍😍 would never attempt it .. cannot cut straight lines but this is absolutely stunning 😱😱 The lights took it to another level! Thanks so much for inspiring 🙌🙌🙌

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks Claire. All I can say is that a few years ago I couldn't cut a straight line either. I was a research chemist and now run a woodwork charity. It's amazing what you pick up over time! Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments. All the best. Ray

Thanks Andy. Much appreciated. I think this challenge has brought us all together a little. Much needed during this lockdown. Take care. Ray

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Ray, That is a beautiful clock. Thank you so much for contributing to the challenge. It must have taken ages but the end result is worth every second. Astonishing as always Ray. Take care and thanks once again. Cheers, Huw

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks for your feedback Huw! And thanks once again for the invitation to join the challenge. It felt a bit rushed towards the end, which is testament to the increasing number of minor cuts I got and plasters I had to use (see 14:58)! All the best. Ray

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@RayWhitbyCreations Ouch, Missed that one and the small patch of blood on the clock face. Have you ever considered doing a voice over instead of text boxes as I found I had to re-watch bits due to missing things while reading the text. Just an observation and not a criticism. Huw

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

@@WoodenItBeNice I possibly put too much content into the text on this one! Have thought about voice overs, but I know there are some viewers that like music, some that like machine sounds, some that like talking to the camera and some voice overs. Difficult to know what would work best. At the moment writing out the commentry means I can change it if needed, but I don't want it to be awkward for viewers either.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@RayWhitbyCreations Hi Ray, Within the loads of advice I was kindly given when I started on KZbin no one mentioned it would be good to become a juglar and become a magician so you can please all of the people all of the time. Take care Ray. Huw

Very unique and just cool. Looks like another learning lesson... gonna be busy.

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks Richard, appreciate your feedback always! If you know what the bandsaw cut is called, I would be ecstatic. I know it's not compound and I'm sure someone in mathematics has modelled it before, but I have yet to come across it. Take care. Ray

[@fierceflyer5]

You have the Star of David in it 👍🏻 nice clock

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Oh yes. Didn't see that. Spent too much time up close to get the full effect. Now that you've mentioned it that's all I see! All the best. Ray

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Very cool looking clock Ray!!

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks Bruce!

[@TheTinyWorkshop]

😮 What a beautiful design. You did the calculations of the segments very well👌. I think it's a great clock. This gives inspiration to make such a clock myself one day. 👍Frank.

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks Frank. The cylinder was a challenge and the resin helped hide some minor imperfections. I think if I could do this seamlessly and without resin then I know I've peaked in my woodworking abilities! All the best. Ray

I am utterly stunned by this.

Great Clock in the challenge. I'm impressed with the LED back lighting. I'm guessing a lot of thought and calculations has gone into the making of it. Love it.

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Thanks Robert. I had a loose idea based on a video I shot a while ago, but hopefully will post next, using geometric patterns and epoxy resin. The tough part was working out how to cut triangles to make a seamless cylinder. Really enjoying making this one! All the best. Ray

Hi Ray, Another great mesmerising video. I was allowed to make a suggestion I would hve used 12 pairs of triangles for the outside (5 minute spacing) and 30 degree triangles eminating from the centre. Keep the great videos coming and keep safe

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Hi Phil. That's brilliant! Never once did it occur to me. When I get the time(!) I'll give it another go. Thanks so much for the suggestion. All the best. Ray

[@Pu1gcerda1]

@@RayWhitbyCreations Hi Ray, thinking about the clock face I would put a piece of dowel in the centre and then radiate 12 triangles around it, with the intention of cutting the triangles with arced (if that is a word) cut at one third distance from the point for 6 traingles and the remaining 6 at two thirds distance, this would give the appearance of a dart board with a staggered treble ring, I would still use resin in the designed gaps and possibly use 2 or 3 diferent types of wood, or rotate the grain Just a thought Keep safe

[@Pu1gcerda1]

Hi Ray, adding to my suggestion above you could make the "treble" rings the same radiur as the length of the hour and minute hands Keep safe

Thank you! Not sure about the blue hands; it wasn't that cold. I think the phone camera I'm using has too many auto features that I cannot access, so shooting indoors at night might be causing it a few probs. One day I'd like to get a proper 4K camera. Thanks for watching. Take care. Ray

Best for view my dear, how many time for dry expoxy dear

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Hi. I use Epoxyplast 3D B100 which has a drying time to a solid surface of 3-4 days and fully cured in 12 days. This dried clear, doesn't have a lot of bubbles and can be used on the lathe for woodturning. I am experimenting with using a pressure pot which helps to avoid the formation of bubbles. I hope this helps. All the best. Ray

Very unusual to see a clock mechanism with an old fashioned smooth sweap second hand. Most quartz movements have a clunk clunk movement counting out the seconds. I find the movement you have used strangely restful. Can you please let me know the brand name and source for this movement .
