Wood Turning The Barrel of Blocks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This is a segmented turning which I was going to call a bowl but it ends up looking like a barrel.
It was a lot of fun to make and involved fine fitting joints. There are 140 pieces that make up the bowl.
The feature ring is made up of the same type of block I use in a tumbling bowl turning.

Gary, this piece with all the colors would look great filled with rootbeer barrels!!
Thanks Michael! Wow I can not remember the last time I had one of those root beer barrels. Now I need to look for some.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, Amazon, $35.00 for 5lbs, Dad’s root beer barrels!
That should fill this easily enough. Maybe the next get together when all the grandkids are over.
That does it, Gary. I declare you "RUclips's Master Segmented Turner!" All of your segmented work is great but this one, maybe because of the barrel shape, is my favorite. Beautiful and useful. And the finish! You knocked it out of the park! And yeah, I kept trying to get a peek at the inside and you just weren't letting me! LOL! Nice surprise, inside and bottom. Really great job, Gary! Keep'em coming, my friend, and stay safe and healthy.
Phil
Thank you Phil and I actually had video showing the inside and clipped it out. The barrel shape sort of developed on its own. But you know how that works. We think we know what we want and then when something shows up it is time to stop.
I just came in from working on another glue up that is a nightmare of joints!
Not to worry I have 3 beautiful bowls that are from logs. But they are scheduled 2 weeks out.
I am doing a sort of a challenge next Friday that will be fitting for what we are all going through right now.
Speaking of which I know it was bad up in your area so be safe and healthy as well.
Gary
Thank You Gary....You are thinking outside of the "BLOCKS"....and having a "BOWL" full of FUN....For you & us your viewers...Great stuff Gary...TM
You are very welcome and I love your comments...very well done. I do have the Cherry Plum done and I just had to run this one first. And it really turned out nice. I will run it in 2 weeks.
Take care my friend,
Gary
"Why argue with what it wants to be". The words of a true artist.
Thank you 😊
WHAT A DELIGHT! How you can get 140 individual components that you have made up is infinite care in the extreme. I have NO idea what drives you to this level, it HAS to stem from your previous job. Whatever it is you are a 'Master of Your Craft'. If I ramble on, please forgive me because you take my breath away with your 'work'. Fantastic finish completes the Master Class that you did not intend to set up in the first place.
Thank you Donald. Well to help you understand I was a Journeyman Wood Pattern Maker for a living.
Everything I made had to be very precise as far as dimensions go. They were made from 2D drawings and ended up as 3D parts that were used in foundries to make metal castings. You can look up some of my very early videos to see some of what I made. Probably a wood workers dream job. As it was for me!

This will give you an idea of what I did.
Yeap i agree with Phil Anderson @ Shady Acres Woodshop. When he said " RUclips's Master Segmented Turner!" That inside and bottom extra work was amazing. Thank You
for sharing and keep em coming !
Thanks so much. I do love segment work and other types of glue up turnings. The inside and the outside was an after thought and happy I did it.
Thanks again for watching.
Gary
I am amazed at the beauty of your turnings. Thanks for sharing your talents and motivating us amateurs.
Thank you very much Clayton. Happy you enjoy my channel. Have fun turning and you will soon get to making things like this.
Take care,
Gary
Well good morning again Gary , well I licked that parallelogram issue.Went out and spent a few bucks on a starrett fractional dial calipers.and thanks to you l nailed it first try. As a matter a fact after I cut three pieces and try fit them I said out loud GARY WHO but did not mean it one bit. If it was not for your advice I most likely would have moved on to something else.thank you very much. Have a great day. Rick Knapp
Good morning Rick...and it is morning here 5:58am. Well that is great news and what a great way to start the morning. But like I said it is actually pretty easy to do. Now that you have that you will be able to make a 6 point star as well.
Thanks for the great news it is great to hear.
Gary
This artwork is so special form this piece just think will be around 200 years from now and you would have left the part of yourself on this Earth to live on so we're turning is a very special form of art and a part of yourself nice piece
Thanks so much James and that is a wonderful thought that it will be around that long.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow that barrel is magnificent
Thank you very much Gary I am happy you liked it. I loved making it.
Happy New Year,
Gary
Good idea shaping and finishing the bottom rings liek you did...you folow this with the rest of the rings...looks great a very nice finish...cool idea with the bottomand inside blocks
Thanks so much 😊
Papa... you are magician papa.
Well thank you very much.
Gary
As a quilter, I'm very partial to the tumbling blocks pattern. Seeing it made from beautiful woods is a treat. Thanks for sharing your wonderful skills.
Thank you Patricia and I find quilting very fascinating as well. Although I doubt I could do it.
Take care,
Gary
What an inspiration for this newcomer to the wood-turning community!
Thank you Ove I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care and have fun turning.
Gary
This is the most beautiful tiny barrel ever! :D The chatoyance in the wood--so tasty. If it had a top, it would be a magnificent cookie barrel. :D
Thank you Nan, I could put cookies in it but I would have to eat all of them right away before they got stale. LOL
Here is one I did that would make a nice cookie jar and has a lid.

A bunch of years ago I learned how well that spray lacquer works out. I built and finished a Thompson-Center Hawken Rifle kit. I used the spray lacquer on the stock on multiple coats, wet/dry sandpaper to 800 grit, and the stock had a finish like glass. Like your barrel of blocks, you could turn the stock and as the light hit different parts of the grain, it would flash a glow. Your barrel is ten times that and absolutely knocks your eye out. Really wonderful work.
Thank you very much Ronald I appreciate your comments. I have done a couple black powder kits but no lacquer finish on them.
Take care,
Gary
Dazzling!!!!
Thank you very much Joe
If turners get an award, you should be the one to get it.

What a beautiful piece! As you were starting this I couldn’t help but think it was like piecing a quilt as you cut and assembled the blocks. The result is stunning! 💕
Thank you so much! I guess you are right it is like putting a quilt...although I would be totally lost trying to make a quilt.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Gary
You are fantastic super like
Thanks so much for your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Beautiful work! I'm down here in southeast Texas, we don't have to many choices of wood, so when I got into turning it made sense to use dried wood and segment it all together! I think the few plates and bowls were a success, but there are always new challenges out there, this one here just might be my next project! I love the way it turned out....get it? Lol
After two storms, rebuilding my mother's house twice from flooding, and my girlfriend's house, rebuilding my shop that had two feet of water, rebuilding a baby room for out 8 month old, building stair rails and spindles to keep baby safe, I think it's time for me to get back on the lathe for me! Turning the spindles were a heck of a lot harder than I thought, it became work and no pleasure! Time for some bowl turning for pleasure! I'm not getting any younger starting over at 59 I need a little shop time! Look forward to watching the rest of your videos!
You surprised us with the bottom! I absolutely love that!
Thank you very much Michael...have fun on that lathe!
Gary
All of the chatoyance really pops out. !
Thank you I knew it was going to be pretty wood but it was extra special.
Thanks again
Gary
Fantastic job Gary !
Thank you very much David!
Saving this one to my list of future shop projects!!!
Thank you Ray that is a nice compliment.
Take care,
Gary
Turned out really nice.
Thank you very much Randy
Take care,
Gary
Unique and beautiful. Very nice job and thanks for sharing the processes with us.
Thank you very much! I am happy you like it Karl,
Gary
I am a newbie to turning, so thanks for the inspiration. I have been saving small scraps of walnut, cherry, maple and white oak for years so the segmented projects are very appealing.
You welcome Jon and once you make a segmented turning you will love it and will be happy you saved those scraps.
Gary
Very Nice! Great design.
Thank you very much John. I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Awesome looking and the barrel shape is prefect.
Thank you very much George glad you like it.
Gary

Thank you very much I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Lovely barrel of blocks. I love how you take bits and pieces and turn into beautiful things.
Thank you Judith. They are fun to do. When I made that feature ring I cut out enough for 2 rings so I probably will make something using it and some other rings I duplicated.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow! Absolutely amazing.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary

Absolutely beautiful Gary. The chatoyance is a real treat. thanks for sharing your excellent instruction and creativity for your barrel of blocks!
Thank you very much. Happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Gary
Hi Gary,
that's a beautiful piece. Would make a great ice bucket but would need a suitable segmented top.
While turning I couldn't place the orange coloured wood but you said it was padauk. It certainly brought out that ring. Almost like tigers eye stone. Thanks for making and posting the video.
Regards from Canada's banana belt.🤔🇬🇧😃🕊️🇺🇦🍌🇨🇦👍
Thank you Ron. Padauk goes nice with almost any other lighter wood.
I still have thoughts of making a lid for this. Ice bucket might need a liner.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Oh WOW this is gorgeous..A lot of fiddly work but it was well worth it ,beautifully turned too and I love the shape 😀
Thanks so much 😊 Happy you liked it Christine.

Hi Gary....wow !!! That barrel is spectacular..I don't think that I have seen a more beautiful form ....the final touches on the bottom and inside are its crowning glory...very well done...take care in these crazy times....All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy I am pleased you like it. I almost showed what I was putting on the inside bottom but I edited that out so it could be a surprise. Glad I did!
Yes very crazy times for sure. In California below is they are shutting most everything down.
It is a day to day thing...you take care as well my friend.

Thanks for watching and your wonderful comments Ed,
Take care,
Gary
After all that work and the beautiful barrel of a bowl I felt sad to see you spray that lacquer on, but after watching with curiosity to see the end result, after sanding and polishing, WOW, now that's the way its done. I think so many turners just finish with lacquer because it takes so much to get a silky smooth glossy finish, sanding and such, especially if your creating a hibrid resin/wood piece. You can see the orange peel and scratches still, but not this one, #SUPERAMAZING Im glad I found your channel
Thank you very much for those kind words. Lacquer can be an issue with the orange peel for sure. As with any finish it is only as good as what you spray it on. Sanding the wood is the most important part of the finishing process. I sand in between each coat of lacquer as well. I probably use shellac more than lacquer but this job begged for a lacquer finish.
Thank you for watching and your very kind comments.
Gary
Damn nice sir. Jonesy
Thank you very much Jonsey!
That is one AWESOME looking barrel - REALLY NICE!!
Thank you James I am happy you like it.
