Organ Bowl - Wood turning an organ into a bowl
Welcome back! In this video I'll be taking the wood from a 1907 organ and turning it into a bowl. Probably the first organ you'll see in a wood turning video being cast in epoxy and turned into a bowl. But leave it to me to come up with a project that ends up kicking my butt fighting me all the way lol.
This organ came from my aunt and uncle as a project for the lathe. When i removed the mirror there was a newspaper article from 1907 behind it and the mirror was stamped and dated to 1907. The wood was mostly black walnut.
I had to cut it into sections, plane and glue it up into a massive block. The keys are cast in Alumilite clear slow. And I learned that clear slow does not like CA glue....

The Eye Bowl - Epoxy Resin Projects
Просмотров 344Год назад
Welcome back! In this video i'm whipping another of my epoxy resin projects. Many projects in the works and on paper, some with epoxy resin some not. Just getting around to doing them is another thing lol. But these epoxy resin bowls are pretty cool to do for projects in the shop. Never really know how they will turn out. Just have to let the universe decide I suppose. This is made from mostly ...

Welcome back! Finally back to some epoxy resin projects. I have a few more epoxy resin pieces coming up. Just so many projects going on. Another junk bowl, really need to tackle the ugly mess the organ bowl has become and since the Dawgs won last night I'll be doing a red/black all epoxy piece as a celebration. This piece is just an assortment of left over pieces from mixing cups that cured, so...

Welcome back! getting around to finishing up some content. All these twice turned bowls are about to give me a black eyed perspective on peach wood lol. This peach wood almost didn't make it, but was able to use some black Starbond glue and keep it from being a funnel. I sanded it down to 1200 grit and hit it with some 0000 steel wool. I finished it with mahoneys walnut oil and the oil/wax past...
Just A Peachy Wood Bowl - Wood Turning
Просмотров 318Год назад
Welcome back! This is another twice turned peach wood bowl. The species of peach wood isn't the fruiting kind. It was kind of a rare find. I've only seen maybe 5 other of the trees in peoples yards. But it's a beautiful and fragrant wood when turning. Makes nice bowls also! I sanded it to 1200 grit. Finished it with Mahoney's walnut oil. Let the oil cure in the wood good for about a day then ap...

I will definitely be making another one that will have better up and down capabilities. Total up and down free of o...
Spalted Dogwood Wood Bowl - Woodturning

Welcome back! This is another regular wood bowl video, but just sit tight because I'll have more (fun) wood projects coming soon. One being a nut slinger, yup, a nut slinger lol. Having many walnut trees in your yard gives you tons of free baseball size objects that need to be cleaned up. So I found a fun way to get my son to do it lol. But anyway, this dogwood wood bowl is one of many I had to...
Making a wood bowl - wood turning black walnut
Просмотров 962Год назад
Welcome back! In this video i'll be twice turning a wood bowl from a walnut tree. I took this tree down from my property since the tree had a nasty rot spot in the wood. Some of it has been made into bowls, hollow forms, beard combs, chalices and more. Walnut wood is one of my favorites to work with, something about the earthy smell. Kinda like leather and tobacco, just a warm comfortable aroma...
The Broken Bowl Failure - Woodturning Fails
Просмотров 466Год назад
Welcome back! Soo this failure of an accident made me step away for a minute! This is a twice turned blank of spalted dogwood that was harvested from my property after it had fallen in the woods for some time. Luckily the root ball came up with it, and had some burling in it. Which is where all of my dogwood bowls have come from. I'm giving this a go with audio from the turning and some of musi...
Wood Turning - Turning a wild cherry wood bowl

Welcome back! This is some wild cherry wood that has already been green turned. So yea, another wood turning video with no epoxy, sorry! It has a bit of a bark inclusion that I wanted to incorporate into it. I've had good luck with cherry wood, but it really depends on when the wood is harvested. I sanded it to 1200, applied Mahoney's walnut oil and the oil/wax after the oil cured. Thanks for w...
Pecan Wood Bowl - Woodturning

Welcome back! In this video I'll be finishing a twice turned wood bowl from pecan wood. This is the first wood bowl I've done with pecan and the start of using the medallions on the bottom instead of burning them. So tell me what you think! I filled the gaps with starbond ca glue and finished it with Mahoneys Walnut oil and wax after the oil had sit for a day. Nice little bowl but pecan doesn't...
Willow Wood Bowl - Woodturning
Просмотров 462Год назад
Welcome back! This is just a short video on turning some willow wood into a wood bowl. Willow wood is very light. A little warning if you get any wet, let it sit outside for a day or two. You'll thank me later lol. The wood loves to suck up water as willow trees love wet areas. It has a sour smell and oozes the water out, making a mess, a big one. Looked like someone poured salt on a giant slug...

    DON'T BOTHER with anything BUT DEFT! IT WILL LAST, it WILL NOT YELLOW! i have used it FOR YEARS and i guarantee it IS the real deal! I had proprietary lacquer made by a very professional paint company specifically mixed for my art work( that includes wood) and even as I thought this "special chemically designed" lacquer was going to give me an "EDGE" in my art sales and getting into galleries -- it really DIDN'T turn out better than DEFT--- one thing my "specialty lacquer" did was; I was able to use LESS COATS, but- for the time and expense--- it was NOT better than DEFT! So, I am back to DEFT, hopefully this gives you some feedback as to the quality ---don't forget to use a FULL MASK, protect your lungs!

  • @charlesbajnai4530
    @charlesbajnai4530 9 месяцев назад

    I was inspired by your rich looking bowl. I took it one step further: after dye, I applied a coat of sanding sealer, and then applied JoSonja iridescent paint on top of the dye in little "splotches" in the bottom of the bowl and around the edges, to create the "BIG BANG" artistic look. Followed it with 20 coats of gloss lacquer. Fantastic.

    • @EppsCreations
      @EppsCreations 9 месяцев назад

      Nice! I’ve seen some interesting things done with the iridescence. The string method is pretty cool also. I red dyed a willow hollow form and used some crumpled Saran Wrap to dap it on a while back.

There are today folks Selling turning tools that are only HSS .. for full price.. m2 steel is great and m42 is way better.. I don’t use carbide anymore.. I just do it all with m42.. including resin, bone various soft metals and hardwoods..

      M42 is graphically better. Even H7, just not sure about grinding something with vanadium carbide when it’s the vanadium in granite that makes it more radioactive. But yes, I’ll work resin with a carbide if I’m having to really reach.
