Woodturning A Walnut Bowl
I had a walnut bowl I had started about 2 years ago. It is now dry and can be turned to its final form. It had developed several cracks on opposite side. I cut out a 2 inch wide section that encompassed these cracks. I had the vision of a striped segmented filling in this 2 inch gap in the bowl. I made a half circle with 30 segmented pieces, and glued it between the two pieces of the bowl. Then I turned this all on the lathe to make the final form of the bowl. I finished it with a bee’s wax and linseed oil mix. Two defects emerged in the walnut as I got to the final form. Looking at it in hindsight, I would have done the insertion differently but it still looks good. Some safety issues have been raised with this video and I completely agree. Safety is paramount. Here is a quick video on lathe safety that everyone should watch.

can you yhow how you change the bandsaw blades?
the bandsaw is huge 🙂
Wow!!!! I love things wich you make 🙂
You need to have a show on PBS with the same atmosphere and sound work in your great youtube videos.
man i wish i had your boeing sander…do you use performax type drum sanders? i LOVE MINE
Your bowl videos are my favorite videos you've made. Especially the ones were you have to cut the bowls and add other pieces of wood. Amazing work
Thanks, I need to do more of these.
Very very nice,
gode work
Do you sell these when you're done?
So many industrial machines! such little projects!…… i like it.
good job.
Your videos are both practical and inspiring. The steps that are illustrated in your process as well as your thinking and the problems you encounter
with their solutionsare helpful in carrying out similar projects for the viewer. Much better than just seeing an ideal finished project.I love your videos. They are so well made. Do you get paid to film these or are you just an average joe? I'm from uk so if you are famous I apologise.
Tôi yêu thích các video của bạn. Chúng được làm rất tốt.
Lovely
Beautiful
if you lived in the uk what lathe would you recommend for a beginner with a £500 budget. i would consider a second hand professional lathe if i could get one for near my budget. great vids really enjoying watching them. they gife me ideas for what i would like to try. thanks derek
He never sands a little, but alooot of sanding 😀 Awesome bowl
you sure make a lot of bowls, what do you do with most of them?
this is awesome you are a true craftsman.
5:00 — im pretty sure you should start clamping in the middle and not on the outsides.
That bandsaw is gorgeous!
Super cool idea. I really like that bowl and I usually don't like segmented stuff.
Beautiful!
When you wanted to add the outer lines you could have taken the segmented piece, put it on a big piece of wood, mark it out then cut it, same for the other line. And then you would have had 2 continuous lines. Wouldn't that have look nicer and been a lot more simpler?
Thanks man…
is this ur workshop ? can u make a living from making furniture on your own in us ?
Real nice.
I love that you still use a radial arm saw. It seems most people have abandoned them for the newer tools which is kind of unfortunate because of how great these saws really are in their ability to do everything, or be dialed in to make a certain cut very, very well.
Hi Frank i love your videos, but been wondering how you find the right angle for everything you make? All from segmented rings to when you repare bowls.

How fast did you have the lathe spinning when you started turning it at about 6:00 ?
What wood you use

Eres un maestro. Es un trabajo fino.
I just watched your newer video where you build your bridge model with your son, and it's adorable how much he's grown! You can tell how much he likes your work, just as we all do 🙂 Keep up the good work!
lead block and flat board for small thin pieces like the ones you did usually works for me.
