Snow Bell
The pattern in this segmented wood turned bell is an abstraction of snow falling on hills. The snow and hills are made from birch wood and the sky is purple heart. I have wanted to use the new CNC machine to make segments for segmented woodturning. In this bell, I used the CNC to make the wavy hills in the design. The construction of the bell is 6 segments cut with a compound miter between each segment. This forms a six sided cone that can be shaped into a bell on the lathe. I made the snow in the design by drilling holes in the segments and gluing dowels in those holes.

hah never realized it looked like a Dalek body until I heard the "exterminate" well done Frank!
??
a christmas dalek 😮 you can make money on that idea
Inspired!
6:45 "And then things got a little weird…" "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" LOVE IT!!!
Love the project!
Very nice looking bells. I have made wooden bells that I hang different lengths of conduit pipe under the rim of the bell to make a wind chime out of them. I use heavy fishing line to hang the pipes. .Then Iuse a smaller bell hung down from the big one for clapper .Then make a flat bell to hang bellow the smaller bell for catching the wind.
These videos are absolutely mesmerizing. Thanks for all of your hard work and effort that you put into the videos, Frank. Job well done.
I really enjoyed the dalek part but did anyone else notice the mini unicorn?
Hahahaha! Daleks and a unicorn ducky! Love it! ?
Really like that idea Might give that a try some day. As always enjoyed watching. Guy
Fantastic job as always! Love the Doctor Who reference.
Beautiful ornament
Bellisimo….
Gracias por compartirlo.
Felicidades
Calvin grows a lot compare with the boat video!!!
Ooooooh, find a way to make a dalek!
what program do you use? and is there a free version?
RIP The Last Dalek 2015
Thank you for continuing to amaze me with every video. Merry Christmas Frank.
my sons and I cast your videos to our tv to watch together. They cracked up at the bell exterminator part. They had me rewind to watch it again.
I've seen a lot of crafting videos on YouTube, but you win the award for putting actual time and talent into the cinematography aspect of it. Great job!
Im sure uve build more tools helping u finish a project then projects them self XD
Love ur work bud.
Im a wood worker too.
Wanting to get into the turning aspect as well. Learning slot from you.
The music is creepy
Hey, great video!
Since the original plank was flipped for every segment, I think you effectively created 'polar' segments if that makes sense. Thus the waves would crest and trough in opposite directions for each consecutive segment. I guess this could be avoided if you separated every other piece into groups for its own bell?
awesome work as always, a beautiful piece. love the daleks reference.
Frank Howarth I Got A Idea for Your next woodturning project: Make A Soccer Ball And A Soccer Boot ???
Cheers, The Leader.
Beautiful bell and funny video. I like this channel.
Hi Frank. I would just like to say how brilliant your projects are. Your patience is remarkable. Your videos are brilliant as well. I especially liked your reference to Dr Who in this video. Being British, it was great to see.
I am new to turning and you have inspired me to get into segmenting. I also have the use of a cnc router so this is something I would like to incorporate as well.( if you don't mind).
How much time do you spend working out in which order to cut and glue the segments together? That must take a considerable amount of time. Could I also ask why you don't put the finish on your pieces whilst they are still on the laithe?
Keep up the great work.
I realize this is an old video since it is now May 2017 but I just want to thank you for posting your processes and talking it thru so that even I can understand what you're doing. Your work is way above my level so it motivates me and everyone else to work to a higher level. Thanks again Brad
Frank, your engineering and wood working skills are amazing, but even more impressive to me is your artistic talent. Your editing is fun and extremely well done, and your ability to bring a wonderful idea to life in wood is inspiring,
