Woodturning: Turning a Flaming Boxelder Natural Edge Bowl in (Mostly) Real Time 😉

[@noahcount7132]

Wow, Lisa, what a surprise! You (almost) channeled master wood turner Andy Philip of Yorkshire, England, as you created a beautiful natural edge bowl that could easily have been one of Andy's creations. Until now, I had no idea that you're one of Andy's fans. Well done and absolutely brilliant! 👍❤

[@LisaRamlow]

Oh I love me some Andy Philip and Jack Mack and Matt Jordan and Olivier Gomis - wish I had time to watch videos these days cuz I miss it. And that is a huge compliment, thank you 😊

[@micah06v8]

Wishing you well for your surgery and a speedy recovery!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you!

[@mikec53]

Nice little bowl Lisa!!! Good Luck with your surgery and wish you a smooth recovery!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Mike!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Excellent. Box elder is such a nice wood when there is plenty of red in it. Well done!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Doug!

Hi Lisa, that sure was a pleasant video. Though I must admit, I didn't see too much after the music started ... love that Leo Kottke kinda stuff ! So, thank you very much. And nice turning too ! Take care. -Mike

[@LisaRamlow]

Hey Mike! Yeah I don't like putting music in the videos (and I meant to turn the volume down before I published it) but leaving it completely without sound seems worse than the music. Spent all day on the roof doing the wood stove chimney so didn't have time to do much fussing around. Soon though I'll be relegated to the couch and I'll have some time for editing 👍. And other stuff too! 😉

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@LisaRamlow Keep forgetting to ask right or left shoulder ? 👍😎

[@LisaRamlow]

Left one. Labrum in both shoulders in time but the right one only limits my overhand throwing and has been that way for 20 years, so no softball etc. But the left one is torn such that the shoulder dislocates and that's happening more and more frequently so it's time to get it fixed.

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@LisaRamlow I'm with you dear. My right one was a problem for a few decades too (found I could throw a football underhanded and leftie OK) but your leftie ? Ugh ugh. Just remember - meds are to make you feel normal. And the normal times will increase daily.

[@andreamassari9099]

This is such a classically beautiful bowl. I'm glad you recorded it. 😊 I hope all goes well with the surgery. Sending good vibes. Cheers.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Andrea, I appreciate it!

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

Lovely wood and work, both! Hug the dog and best wishes for the shoulder recovery.

[@LisaRamlow]

Will do Michael! The dog needs a hug cuz we've been really busy the last few days and he hasn't gotten a walk

[@jackburton6085]

Beautiful work, as always, Lisa! Sending positive vibes for your upcoming surgery! 🤗🤗🤗 hope everything goes well and you recover fast!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Jack! I have so many things left to do before then I haven't had time to get nervous about it yet 🤣

[@jimdaly5077]

Hi best 20 minutes of my day. 👍🌞🐝

[@LisaRamlow]

Aww thanks Jim! I'll be glad to get back to some normal turning videos 😃

[@bigboy9706]

Other than Hollow forms. Natural Edge bowls are my favorite. Awesome piece glad to see a turning video. Good luck on your surgery coming up hope all turns out well. Have a wonderful and blessed day

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Michael!

[@TroyAReich]

I was just thinking I hadn't seen a video from you in awhile. Glad you're still turning. I finally turned my first project(s) and love seeing your work. Best of luck in the upcoming surgery. Been there! Take your time to heal and do your therapy! Be safe out there...

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Troy! Yes, it's been a wacky summer where I did all manner of things that weren't turning 😫. Surgery is Monday and I have some projects recorded that I can edit and publish while I'm recuperating so the channel will get back to more regular content. I will absolutely do the therapy and give it the required amount of time to heal - don't want to have to do it all over again!

[@janeoverby2151]

Beautiful bowl, Lisa, I love Box Elder!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Jane, me too!

[@jeanlong4285]

Beautiful bowl, good luck with your surgery.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank Jean!

[@heathermacmillan962]

Those colours look amazing 😁💙

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Heather, they are stunning! The red will fade eventually but it's still beautiful

[@jackthompson5092]

Very beautiful bowl Lisa.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Jack!

[@sandrasmith5149]

I’m so jealous! I can’t find any box elder in my area. Love that wood. Keep up the great work

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you! We had a bunch of boxelder trees at our old house, but I wasn't turning yet and though (like most non-turning woodworkers) that they were just junk trees that harbored a gazillion boxelder bugs. Now I want all of them! 🤣

[@Rob-Hannon]

Gorgeous piece of wood. Big fan of flame boxelder. Sometimes the color tone compliments cocobolo really well.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Rob! I may have a little piece of cocobolo kicking around... 🤔

[@annlaurie1484]

Very nice bowl, hope your surgery goes well and you make a quick recovery. 😊

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks, I'm hoping so too!

[@JOHNSmith-pn6fj]

Beautiful Bowl. That wood has lots of character to it. Wishing you a speedy recovery on your operation.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks John, I appreciate it!

Hello Lisa the wood is amazing it's colour and grain is wonderful. The liveedge bowl is magnificent and unique I really like it. Well done you certainly are a masterwoodturner. Take care of yourself from Amanda xx

[@LisaRamlow]

Aww thanks for the kind words Amanda, I appreciate it 😊

[@alinmayerthorpe7801]

Lovely box elder bowl or as we call it here in Canada, Manitoba Maple! Lovely job of finishing as it brought out all the colors! Good luck with your upcoming surgery! Well done and thanks! Cheers Al

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Al, I appreciate it! 😃

Great work as always 😉😉

Thank you 😊

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks for watching Johnny!

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Very nice, like the wood

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Vern!

[@mikeconrad454]

Stunning as always! That piece of wood would have made a nice yarn bowl too.😉😉

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Mike! I actually did make a yarn bowl from a piece of this, for a friend of mine 😃

[@JamesCouch777]

Great job on the piece 👌. I can see that I've been slacking off in the buffing department!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks James! I'm still not sure I'm doing the buffing quite right but it definitely did something! 🤣

[@denisraulet]

Jusqu'au bout l'artiste est à l'oeuvre,bravo et bon courage👍

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you!

[@lancerawlings5401]

Great looking bowl, love the nat edge. Kind of funny I too am finishing up woodworking projects and bowls before upcoming shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. I go in Nov 9. My surgery is more of a tumor removal than a shoulder fix but it will relive much pain. I wish you well see ya back on your KZbin Chanel soon after.

[@LisaRamlow]

Hi Lance! Yeah mine is to repair a torn labrum. Actually have that in both shoulders but my right one just limits my overhand throwing motion and has been that way for 2 years. The left one actually randomly dislocates and gets worse every time it happens so it's time to fix it. I go on Nov 13. I'll send you good healing vibes 👍

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Very nice.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Brad!

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

I never use my shop sounds, because my dust collector is noisy and my lathe sounds terrible on video. So muted with background music is my jam! 😎

[@LisaRamlow]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@bakers011]

Beautiful work of art , would love to turn some flaming boxelder but can’t find any in the Uk.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you!

[@MichaelAttwoodDesignStudio]

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Your buffing setup is excellent, is this something you've designed and made?

[@LisaRamlow]

This is the Beall system - they have the regular and bowl buffs and adapters for the lathe.

[@Papaws-Hobbies]

When you get your shoulder fixed be sure to get a I pack that circulate cold water. The was my best friend when I had mine done.

[@LisaRamlow]

I'll look into that, thanks!

[@PBUCKY1969]

Great video Lisa - beatiful work! I like your tool rest, do you know if they ship to U.K.? I had a shoulder replacement almost exactly a year ago due to arthritis - recovery has been very much up and down but you won't regret getting it done, it's well worth it!

[@LisaRamlow]

Hi there! I think Robust is making these tool rests at this point so I'd check their website and see. My surgery is to repair a torn labrum that allows the shoulder to dislocate and it's getting worse so it's time to fix it before I tear the rotator cuff or something

[@PBUCKY1969]

thanks Lisa - get well soon in advance!@@LisaRamlow

[@STMwoodturning]

Nice bowl Lisa. Hope your surgery is successful in fixing the problem. In the video you use both Thompson and Hurricane gouges for turning. I’m in the market for another bowl gouge and wonder if the Thompson is really that much better than a Hurricane. The Thompson is nearly double the price if I get a handle to with it. Thoughts? Take care, Stuart

[@LisaRamlow]

Hey Stuart! I love my Thompson and it does hold an edge a bit longer but I use the Hurricane as least as much and am quite happy with it - these are the standard HSS Hurricane gouges not the M2 or M42 Cryo. I added the link to the video description so you can see the set I have. I find the handles to be completely satisfactory on the Hurricanes. I do love the big, heavier Thompson handle but for the money I am really pleased with the Hurricanes.

[@STMwoodturning]

@@LisaRamlow Thanks for the feedback Lisa, I really appreciate it. I have one Hurricane bowl gouge already (3/8"). It's... ok but I don't use it much except when removing tenons. I like the handle fine and prefer wood anyway. I prefer a 5/8" for nearly everything as it can do almost everything a bowl maker needs done IMO. With my new lathe I can do up to 15" bowls over the bed so I'm seriously considering getting a 3/4" just for roughing.

[@PatientTortoise]

If that's (Mostly) Real Time I don't have much time left on this earth. I hope eternity does move that fast! Good outcome on your shoulder surgery.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you!

[@scottmedori1437]

Lovely bowl.Have to admit that I miss the voice, prefer it

[@LisaRamlow]

Hey Scott! Yeah I know, and that's how the next ones will be - just ran out of time. Spent most of the day on the roof reinstalling the wood stove chimney and I still have a bunch of outdoor/before it snows work to get done before the surgery. But thanks for sticking with me!

[@scottmedori1437]

@@LisaRamlow Hope your surgery goes well. Do what they say, and don’t overdo it before you are A-ok. Do I sound like your Mom?

[@ericmoorehead1100]

How did you remove the tenon?

[@LisaRamlow]

Hi Eric! Yeah apparently I didn't record that part but I took the tenon off the way I do all of them - with a jam chuck and the tailstock 👍

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Hope your shoulder surgery goes better than mine did.

[@LisaRamlow]

Eeek, me too! This is just a labrum repair so hopefully it'll be smooth sailing 🤞

[@ronnielloyd4514]

@@LisaRamlow I had what the doctor called a frozen shoulder. I could not raise my right arm up without it hurting. I had the surgery and then the physical therapy. All during the physical therapy I told them my shoulder hurt. The doctor said we may need to do it again. I told her I don’t think so Cletus, so it still hurts 5 years later.

All I can think of is how out of tune the guitar is 😀

Sorry about that - I'm not a big fan of music but it seemed less annoying than just silence.
