Beautiful result! Beautiful finish too! Possibly the reason the bowl came off the wood worm screw was because it was softer wood. A solution to that can be to drop some CA glue into your hole to support the fibers around the screw. Doing this always is a good idea. Use accelerator to make sure it’s dry before putting onto the screw. Second thing is that maybe it wasn’t screwed down enough to cause enough friction to keep it from spinning on the screw when turning. Once it slips (a catch) on the screw that momentum can tear out the fibers around the screw. Another tip is you can put some 2 face tape on the flat surface of the chuck to keep piece from moving and it gives adhesion to prevent movement away from the face. And unfortunately much of how you actually turned it presents your tools in a way that grabs into and catches on the end grain as it comes around. Generates a lot of shock and tears up the fibers quite badly. Using the square carbide on that cross grain is so dangerous! I would advise never use it that way again! It had to feel terrible when cutting. Switch to the square cutter with the radius on it! Much safer to use and if you learn to present it at a 45 degree angle on the rest and only present the supported side you will learn to slice the wood off not tear it off in the scraping method. A round carbide presented that way is even smoother and can rival sharp gouges. Sorry for keeping going but I am hoping to tell you things to save you a lot of trouble. You were also cutting uphill into the grain often. You have to learn to cut downhill on the grain so what you are cutting is supported on the outside of the cut preventing tear out. I’m not trying to be critical here, only help you with stuff I struggled with early on. I am a very experienced turner and love to see people enjoy this passion of mine. I’m retired and turn probably 5 hours a day when my body allows it. Got some back and leg/hip issues that really get to me but it is cheaper than therapy. Lol. I see your passion and want the best for you. I normally stay quiet but some of what you did was risky and dangerous and I would never want you to be hurt. I wish you well in your journey here. Take care! Scott
Thank you so much for the advice!!! This is how I learn. I will try to remember what you have shared. It is funny, you can have every intention on doing something correctly but then you get working and kind of block the world out and end up going back to old habits. But I will try that's for sure. Thank you again.
Love it!!!
@@carolanncary7331 thank you! It was fun and I was very happy with how it came out!
Beautiful work and video. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much John, it keeps me motivated to keep trying to get better.
