ASMR Woodturning: A simple sycamore tree ornament.
These ornaments are one of my year round staples, which make great used of any offcuts from cutting bowl blanks.
This tree is turned from air dried English Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) from a starting blank of approx. 4¼" long x 2" square. Sycamore is a joy to turn and generally gives a great finish off of the chisels, needing minimal sanding.
Please be aware that woodturning can be a dangerous activity and you should be sure to work within the limits of your ability. This video is for entertainment purposes and is not intended to provide guidance on best practice.

Просмотров 2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
This ash cereal bowl is turned from a tree that grew ~4 miles from my workshop on a local nature reserve. It was cut down during ash dieback management in 2019, planked at my local sawmill and stacked in my garden to dry. Finished dimensions and 4½" diameter x 2½" thickness. As with the majority of my bowls this has a grapeseed oil finish and is intended for food use. Please be aware that woodt...
Real time turning: a footed black walnut bowl.

This black walnut grew in Tunbridge Wells but came to me from a sawmill in Swallowfield, Berkshire. It came out of stick in September 2023 and this is one of the first bowls I've turned from it. I've recently been inspired by a few woodturners on social media and have decided to try adding a foot to a few designs in consequence. As with the majority of my bowls this has a grapeseed oil finish a...

Real time learning: Can I achieve an acceptable sandpaper-free finish on some air dried hornbeam?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Some slightly wormy hornbeam gave me a perfect opportunity to have a play with my finishing, as there is negligible cost in the wood should it not go to plan. The aim with this bowl was to achieve an acceptable sandpaper-free finish, as this is a product which is not currently recyclable and I would like to reduce my consumption of it. An off-the-tool finish is also more traditional for tablewa...
Turning an 8"x2¼" food bowl from air dried beech.

I have barely ever worked with beech, but obtained quite a bit from a closing down sawmill 2 years ago, which has just finished seasoning. As you'll see this blank has a bit of woodworm but it is all good to practice with. Currently I'm trying to refine my finish off of the gouge, to reduce the need for sanding. I also need to find a good place to put the camera so it doesn't get in my way whil...
Real time turning: An 8" soup bowl using self seasoned sycamore.
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This sycamore has been air drying for the past two years. I've been eager to start using it as many of the slabs have some ripple. Often I have problems with tearout in sycamore, but these came up beautifully off of the chisel. My bowls are all intended to be used as tableware so don't need a super fine finish. I sand at 150 & 220 grit as required and then brush on/burnish off a coat of grapese...

Real time learning: A cherry wood wand.
Просмотров 5299 месяцев назад
What makes production turning so pleasurable for me is that it is a very meditative process. There is very little thinking to do, just being present and riding the flow. So making wands is not nearly so relaxing, since ideally every single one should be different. Thus they are a lot slower than if I was doing multiples of the same design. What I like about turning wands is that they are a grea...

Getting ready for Christmas already?
On the contrary, these are popular all year around.
Fantastic job.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Gorgeous little bowl!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Looks like the answer is "yes," at least from here. I wonder if anyone is using horsetails (Equisetum) as abrasive on wood these days. It would be wonderful to get American hornbeam this large! I have had one chance to turn it, a smaller tree, and it made lovely small bowls.
Good technique, sharp, tools a light touch and nice form. Well done.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Never seen it done any faster or better!! Amazing tool work! I’m good but you are what I achieve to be! Well done!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I've been practicing now for around 20 years, so it's good to feel I'm finally getting the hang of it. My aspiration is to eliminate the need for sandpaper entirely, but I'm not quite consistent enough yet to do that for all of my tableware.
Do you also make tableware?
Thanks for taking the time to show another angle.
The challenge is finding places to put the camera that don't get on my way when I'm working. There were 2-3 times in this video where I had to take a different cut to what I would have preferred, to avoid hitting the tripod with my tool or my body.
@@woodworkscoracles6540 I have turned some bowls myself, and for some of your cuts I was thinking "He must be leaning way off balance to let the camera see this!" Which just amplified what I think of your skill - - it takes a great touch to still get long continuous cuts while standing off balance! My hat is off.
@@JimDillonI appreciate your concern but I didn't have to make much of an allowance for the camera with my turning technique. None of the shaping cuts would have been done dramatically differently had the camera been turned off. It was mainly whilst I was turning the mortice that my tripod got in the way. However it seems that my technique is quite different to many turners, which may be why you felt I was contorting myself for the camera.
Would you mind sharing the details on your bowl gouge grind? I’d like to try it. I use a one-way jig.
I'm afraid I don't really have any details. I do use a Tormek but I haven't particularly followed the instructions.
Nice work again.
Wow, no scraper this time! That big gouge certainly serves you well! Lovely work.
Thank you. I don't use a scraper very often, but my objective is always the shape and a good finish, so I don't really mind which tools I use to get there. However it is certainly better for the turning time if I can get everything I need from my bowl gouge.
That is very impressive, great work!
Thank you.
Great video. Good to watch a trades man making a living and doing fantastic work.
Thank you.
Great work as always... have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thank you.
Do you sell these at the Oxford Wood Recycling Centre?
Yes, amongst other places. These were snapped up quickly by people in my village.
I must come and visit the Oxford Recycling centre at some point! It's not that far away from where I am.
@@mandeepriat4692 if you like wood, it is definitely worth a visit!
Brilliant - you make that look so much easier than I'm guessing it is!
Thank you. I've been turning for over 20 years so it feels pretty easy now. A lot of the speed comes from muscle memory.
Those buttplugs look painful
Very satisfying to watch! At around 5 and a half minutes through the video where you apply a coating, and then rub it down with shavings- Are the shavings meant to act as a "Grit" for polishing? or is there another purpose? Thanks
Thank you 🙏 The shavings are used for a centuries old finishing process called 'burnishing' and they do indeed give a shine to the wood, even with no finish on it. They also help remove excess finish from the product.
Very Nice!
I always look forward to watching your videos just wish you would post more often... Keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to seeing the next video
I don't generally do so much turning during the summer, I am just getting back into it.
@woodworkscoracles6540 I would like to see you make a Big Christmas tree 🎄 and a Big Snowman ⛄️
A very relaxing video. Thank you for sharing. What was the thread used for?
When you see the smoke coming off of the wood, and the black line appears in the place where the pencil mark was made, that is what the wire is doing. It heats up from friction against the wood, and burns an indelible ring into the timber.
Best video on this project out there. I’ve watched 100’s of turning tutorials. More please 🙏🏻
Thank you
very nice
thank you 😊
Very nice
Thank you
Hi, what finish do you use?
These are finished with friction polish.
This is my favorite kind of woodturning video. Just showing the technique and result. I am really impressed with your ability to begin your hollowing cuts with the gouge in that position. It surely works well for you! Also, that is some pretty big pear!
A technique worthy of emulating!
Thank you 🙏
Amazing!
Alistair, I appreciate the excellent video and all it covers in straightforward fashion.
And who says you can't finish with a roughing gouge!!! Very good job sir. I'm planning on doing a lot of these for compulsive buys at my next craft show. Questions: 1. Where did you get your wide roughing gouge from? I'm assuming it's what, an 1.5"?? 2. Was that a simple grape seed oil you used for a finish like you've used in your videos? Thanks for the video!!! Keep a goin!
Hi, thanks for your feedback :) My hefty roughing gouge is a Robert Sorby 1 1/4", the deep flute means I can often use the sides as an impromptu skew. On these pieces I usually use Chestnut friction polish, but having recently been given some Odie's oil to try out I am also using this occasionally. The grapeseed oil isn't intended to be a long-lasting finish, do I use something a bit more durable on the pulls. Happy turning!
I had this recommended to me! the thumbnail made me immediately go "hmm wouldn't those make surprisingly good buttplugs" my brain needs to be stopped
Same
yes, I find it deeply depressing how many people insist on making this unflattering comparison, especiallc since if you DID use one for that purpose you'd most likely need a trip to the hospital to take it out again. If you'd ever seen a real plug it would quickly become plain that sharp corners are NOT compatible and would at least cause a great deal of discomfort, if not serious injury! On the other hand, maybe it would be better if more people did use unsuitable shapes like these and I'm sure the news would soon get out that it was a shortcut to exterme misery?
You're not rinsing the soapy water off the plates???
your eyes don't decieve you, we didn't do that in the video, and I probably don't do it most of the time. Certainly I don't rinse off my pots and pans, mugs, cutlery and tupperware. TBH the focus of the video was more to encourage people to be confident giving them a scrub and highlight that regular oiling isn't necessary.
Why did you switch to Chestnut friction polish?
I haven't switched to it, I've been using this finish for most of my trees over the past 10 years.
My mistake. I assumed you finished them like your bowls. I’m always impressed by your economy of motion and process.
@@patrickgibbons9179 Thank you. I was using grapeseed oil for a short time on the trees last year, when I had an injury to my left thumb and didn't feel comfortable putting on the friction polish one handed. But I do think they look better with a shiny finish.

Using a chuck really makes a difference to the ease and speed of turning.
Hello! Approximately how much time was spent to make this bowl? Thanks :)
Hi Givi, if you have a chance to watch the video you will see that I spend approximately 6 minutes each on the woodturning stage of these two bowls. Before coming to the lathe I did make the blank as well, which takes around 3 minutes. After turning I also sign my name on the base, but this takes less than 30 seconds.
@@woodworkscoracles6540 Beautiful work! Thank you for the answer, good luck to you! :)
Hello! Approximately how much time was spent to make this bowl? Thanks :)
Hi Givi, if you have a chance to watch the video you will see that I spend approximately 12 minutes on the woodturning stage of this bowl.

Great work. What's your method for preparing the first recess? Do you turn it between centers?
Thanks Josh :) The initial recess is produced using a 2 1/8" forstner bit in a pillar drill, making a hole of a similar size to my fully closed chuck jaws. You can find details of my whole process in this video ruclips.net/video/_wXgx6DSRNM/видео.html By drilling a hole it means I can prepare multiple blanks in advance, which of course speeds up the production process.
I enjoyed that video. Great job too
Thank you :)
Beautifully efficient, elegant result. Love your work!
Thank you :)
Ash is one of my favorites to turn great looking bowl
Yes, it's a beautiful timber and I am not lookig forward to the day it becomes scarce due to ash dieback.
Beauty 😍
Thank you
Beautiful figure in that ash, very nicely turned.
Great video! What finish do you use?
Que clase de torno puedo utilizar para ase este trabajo su bb trabajo es muy bueno que Dios me lo siga bendiciendo
You will need a woodturning lathe with a capacity large enough for that diameter you wish to turn. The heavier the machine the better to absorb vibration, or have it on a leg stabd that is bolted to the floor. With thousands of brands in the world I can't recommend a particular machine, but the more you spend the better it will be. I prefer having variable speed and a rotating headstock, although this machine (which I had about 8 years ago) did the job perfectly well.
You probably have to be a woodturner to appreciate how skillfull this is done.
Good
OMG......Thats beautiful...what a great idea....Good job...
Thank you
