Inside Out Christmas Ornament For 2016 Challenge

Turned wood inside out ornaments give me a certain fascination. Turning one presents some difficulties and risks -- all of which can be quickly resolved except one.
The most difficult part is visualizing the empty space to be created inside the ornament. I've tried to model it. One thing that has worked the best is to make a turning with 1/4 inch steps every 1/4 inch. Then when reversed and turned, some visualization of scale is possible.
To begin, an inside out blank is constructed from four perfectly square milled pieces of wood. Some turners put craft paper in the joints and glue the entire surface. I don't like the clean up that results when I need to rotate the blocks. Instead, I glue only the last 1/2 inch. To ensure the block does not fly apart on the lathe, I use a band clamp around each end. Small arcs of wood serve as cauls to avoid kinking the band clamp. Then I duct tape the band clamps.
Then turn what will become the center void. Avoid tooling anywhere except where you want the void since any tooling now become part of the center void. Then sand and finish now while you can.
To separate the four pieces of wood, part off the last 1/2 inch of one end. They should now separate fairly easily. Little if any clean up is required.
Rotate each piece to put the outisde into the inside. Glue the new inner surfaces with white glue and clamp together. Clean off any squeeze out now.
Carefully turn the exterior. Pay particular attention to the four thin corners that will become thin slats and be like sharp knives. These are both fragile if too aggressive when turning and dangerous if they contact fingers while turning or sanding.
Add finials and a center feature.
Good turning.

Very nice ornament, Alan. The use of a small strip of glue and then turning it off is the best method I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing
Great - it works for me - hope it will for you also,
Alan
Beautiful. Greetings from Ireland
Thank you Ireland (William)
Alan
Alan, what a brilliant ornament I will attempt to emulate your style and make one for our Aussie Christmas, please keep them coming. Good to see also, no blood was shed in the making of this video.
Maybe I should add a formal disclaimer "No finger was harmed in making this video". :)
Alan
Wow, very beautiful. Not sure how I came across this video but glad I did.
To repeat your good luck, you can subscribe!
Thank you
Alan
Beautiful work! You’re an amazing turner!
Thank you very much!
A beautiful ornament Alan.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you Mike
Alan
Thanks for sharing, beautiful Piece. I’ve never tried turning an inside out piece before. Full View and Like
Allen, Thank you! Cheers!
Alan
Alan, this is outstanding and in-standing all at once. Great job.
LOL
Alan
Allan one idea for your 'hanging' hardware..... try using some small stainless steel cotter pins. Maybe a 1/16" size or 2mm size about 3/4" long. Just glue them into the hole with some CA glue. They wont ever rust and you don't have to make them....
Works for me - Thanks
Alan, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for explaining everything in detail, simply. Eventually I'll try an inside out project.
Thank you. Set a date and experiment with cheap wood. Then you'll have it.
Alan
I am starting my third inside out and this video gave lots of valuable info. Thanks for the tips.
With three, you're nearly an expert.
Alan
Awesome work! I do this stuff every year too. hundreds of them out there. Keep it up. Nice.
So... Have you entered one into this year's Ornament Challenge?
Alan
Interesting technique of manufacture. A beautiful thing happened. Like! Good luck!!!
Thank you Aleksey
Alan
thats awesome Alan, i need step outside my comfort zone and try inside out turning soon :)
Sure - Why not. If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again. (-Mother)
Alan
Beautiful piece, really smart technique to glue those parts together!
Thank you
Alan
Great video Alan ! Love the way you got it all in so fast and with great narration. The end result is really nice as well I am going to have a go at one of these for the tree this year! I really enjoyed this!.. I have done some rattles and other inside out stuff but no ornaments. Thanks for inspiring me and maybe next year I will have and entry, it is usually a busy time of year for me. Thanks again
Yes, it's always busy but mark your calendar and plan for it.
See you then.
Merry Christmas
Alan
Allen, you are a true Master woodturner. Loved this video. Mery Christmas!
Thank you,
Merry Christmas
Alan
Excellent video Alan I really enjoyed it, and lovely to see you still have all your fingers intact, kind regards.
No blood stains on this ornament :)
Thank you Michael
Alan
simple yet very pretty.I enjoyed it very much,keep up the good work.
:) Sorry your comment came during a RUclips changeover and I did not see it promptly.
Beautiful ornaments, loved the video, going to have to give it a try. Thanks Phil
Absolutely give it a try. Just be careful.
Alan
Wow, concise and informative! Very nice video and ornament! Thanks
You are welcome Dave
Alan
Nice ornament. On my long list of things to try!
Thank you Willem. I not only have a long list, I have a long list of lists.
Alan
You make it look easy Alan. another nice job. Desmond.
You cannot see what's going thru my mind. :)
Thank you Desmond
Alan
An interesting idea! An additional interesting feature might be to paint what then becomes the inside section... or, better still, to 'guild' it with faux gold leaf (actually made from aluminium leaf). as a contrast to what then becomes the outside of the design.
Great possibilities.
Thanks for commenting
Alan
Great project Alan. I used a band clamp on my recent Halloween pumpkin project, very effective! Cheers, Jim
Great - They work great as long as I don't hit my hand.
Alan
Beautiful! Excellent idea!
Great!
Alan
Great info for future reference. As a newbie Ill wait until I have more skill/experience, especially for safety's sake. Thanks for all the great videos. You must be good if Mike Waldt watches you....his are excellent too.
Don't wait too long. Try a simple version as soon as you're comfortable.
Alan
Beautiful Alan !! Gonna try some of these for gifts :)
They're great for gifts.
Alan
Hermoso trabajo Alan !!!!!!!
Gracias Jose
Alan
Awesome project! Thanks for sharing...
You're welcome
Alan
Nice one Alan. I have the hardest time envisioning where to cut to achieve a given form when I'm doing an inside out turn. I guess it'll come one day LOL
Charlie, I still have a problem envisioning how to shape the interior. I hope it will come one day. :)
Alan
Beautiful job Alan!
Thank you
Alan
nice and detailed video thanks for sharing !!!
You are welcome. Thank you
Alan
Nice ornament Alan! Still a bit beyond me at this point, but I'll get there sooner or later. Cheers, Rich
You'll be ready soon.
Alan
So the clamps were in case the glue gave out? It seems hard to believe the glue wouldn’t hold
For the first turning, the glue is used very sparingly because it has to come apart at the right time.
Alan
Nice work, Alan.
Gracias.
Alan
Alan, Great project. I have done a couple of inside our turnings and I really appreciate the tips in this video. I have one criticism. The speed of the video is too fast. As you are commenting the video gets past the point you are making. I would be more than happy to have to watch for a few more minutes and be able to grasp a bit more of what you are doing.
I'm committed to keeping videos under 10 minutes so that viewers don't fall asleep.
Sorry when the commentary does not always match up but it should be close.
Alan
I'm an old geezer but I could stay awake for at least 12 minutes.
Glen Crandall,
I second that!!!! Big fan of real time videos!!! Nice ornament though!!!
Very cool. I've done some smaller ones and fit small gemstones into them suspended on jewelers wire..
Great idea.
Alan
Beautiful!!
Thank you Kelly
Alan
Great presentation.
Thank you Robert.
Alan
I saw this video on your website(found through Carl Jacobson). I did have to open the video separately in youtube after watching it to like it and subscribe to you. May be helpful to have a caption that tells people that under the video on the website to help get more activity. Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for going the extra mile.
Alan
I wish you success !!!
Thank you Nikolay
Alan
Fantástico! Muito bom mesmo!
Gracias - Feliz Navidad.
Alan
Good job
Thanks It was a fun one.
Alan
very nice work!
Thank you Todd.
Alan
Very nice, Alan. Will you be utilizing your hand crafted mini hollowing tools for an ornament this year?
I've been trying to avoid hollowing thru a small hole so far this season. We'll see.
Than you Derek
Alan
Beautiful!!! When the playlist of the Challenge? Cheers. Mauro

I really have no idea how to do it amazing
Actually, the Christmas Ornament Challenge has several videos this year using an inside out technique.
May give you enough to get started.
Alan
Nice..
Thank you Greg
Alan
You fooled me you made it look easy I made a mess 1 5 times
Nothing easy about visualizing the inner turning. Or the outer as it interfaces.
Nothing like practice.
Alan
Could. You. Have. Read. That. Any. More. Deliberately?
Perhaps. I. could. try. too. Would. it. help.? :)
