- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- In this video I laminate some shop scrap into a 12"x12" x 7/8" board and come up with a new way to cut rings and center the base. This was a complete experiment after a failed attempt at cutting rings on a scroll saw due to the thickness and hardness of the stock. I really had fun with this project and got a great looking piece out of it! I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to all who watch!

It’s a beautiful bowl, very well executed and you have every right to be happy with the finished product. I know I’m two years behind but Gary of The Papa 1947 makes fantastic bowls from boards. It’s nice to catch up and thank you for having me around 🌞
Hi Ray, I appreciate you watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman And I appreciate you responding. Compliments of the season to you and yours 🌞
To yours as well Ray!
After retrying to watch the video I was able to see it Lewis , thank you, first time no picture.
Very odd Eric. Thank for watching!
I'm amazed that you were able to cut the rings without a jig using only the block to set the 45 angle. Also interesting that you cut your rings from the back side. I like the idea of the backerboard keeping the rings together. Great work and an inspiration.
VERY interesting!
Looks like a translucent watermark marbling!
Beautiful!💖🤠
Thank you Norm! I appreciate you watching!
LEWIS THAT IS A AWESOM JIG .I LOVE IT THE BOWL .THANK YOU MY FRIEND
Thank you Doug, I really appreciate you watching buddy!
I did started a6 year apprenticeship in 1967 as a Centre Lathe Turner in one of the Best engineering companies in the South West of England. I was taught how to use a face on castings weighing at 1/2 a ton and held them on a faceplate with 4, 5 or 6 clamps. But with very thin pieces we always turned with the tool upside down and the lathe going backwards as this allows the swarf/chippings to fall away and not jam the tool. Our face plate also had six or 8 slots in them at strategic places so as not to weaken the face plate, this way gave easy access to clamp any shape any size. Please do not take any equipment at any size. Please do not this as any kind of criticism as I think you are one of the best teacher I have seen on You tube and even though I had a lot of time turning all sorts of metal, wood is totally different. many tanks again.
Thanks Pete, everything is very secure I assure you! Thanks for watching!
What a cool process! I’ve seen a number of these bowls made, but never the way you did it! I can’t wait to give this a shot!
For your first attempt, thisis excellent. even if this was your 10th it is still pretty damn awesome. I like this method, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jack
It appears that nothing but quality craftsmanship is produced in your shop. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you Roger, Ive been fortunate that things are working out well lately! Thanks for watching!
Excellente project Idea.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Clever. And pretty. Winner!
Thank you Valerie! Appreciate you watching!
Looks awesome and that jig is genius👏👏👏
Thanks buddy, I appreciate id
Brilliant Solution to something I have been wrestling with myself for years. Well Done! I will attempt YOUR methodology this week! My sincere appreciation for sharing Sir.
Thanks! Love to know how you make out with it! I appreciate you watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Worked pretty well. I would like to send you two photos. I slightly modified your procedure & to show you my result. If you have messenger, that would be great. I am “Bryan Rigg” on Messenger
I love how it looks silky on the inside when the light hits it just right.
Thank you, some woods polish up very well.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman you do very beautiful work. I went on a watching binge this morning. Ooohing and ahhhhing at all the gorgeous stuff you have made. It makes me wish I had your talent in making wood into works of art.
All just years of practice, anyone can do it!
Yup, very cool. Glad that I was able to catch the premiere.
I appreciate it! Thanks!
I do realize there are more ways than one skin a cat. Thought it might help. Thanks for your videos, they really help.
There certainly is! Thanks for watching Daniel!
Simply, Stunning!!
Thank you Gayle!
Never would have thought of that. Very cool! Thanks.
Certainly not a new concept, just my take on how it is best for me to make them. I appreciate you watching!
Very innovative and worth a try
Don't you love when a plan comes together? Looks great!
Thanks Hodge, I appreciate it Buddy!
Fine job
Thank you Wayne!
That was a lot of work for you but with what you ended up with I'm sure it was well worth it that's a beautiful bowl thank you for sharing this. James
Thanks James, I have the jig now so much faster going forward!
The guy I watched made a miter box type jig that set on his tool rest that guided the parting tool. There are a lot of ways of getting it done. This bowl is a beauty! It looks iridescent on the inside.
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it!
Wow, your method of cutting the rings are simpler AND safer than what I have seen. That is a beautiful bowl.
Thank you James, I appreciate it!
I like your jig, great idea. It might help if you put an “X” of double sticky tape on the back of your board before you cut the rings. Maybe less shifting of the rings as you cut. Great bowl.
Thanks Jerry! I appreciate you watching!
Great job, Lewis.
Thank you David!
Beautiful color combination.
Thank you Randy!
Outstanding!!! Bob
Thank you Bob! I appreciate it!
stunning Lewis wish my experiments came out looking half as good
You never know how it will go Dave. Thanks for watching !
Great job!
Thanks!
so impressed a bowl out of a flat shape, very cool and looks great!
Thank you Kathryn. I appreciate to watching
Excellent project, my friend!!!
Thanks DD!
Very cool technique
Thanks Brad!
Love segments! They stay a mystery when taking that thin wood and make a bowl! Lewis, I'm sure you've helped someone make that jig they've been wanting to use. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
Thank you Vickie, I appreciate it! I wouldn’t call these segments though. Just strips. Stay safe!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I say they are cuz you cut them up and put them together, ergo segment. 😆 🤣
I cannot argue with that!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman check out Gary over at The Papa 1947. I told him to get with you on a ring jig.
I will have no issue making a jig, just wanted to ensure the big picture worked out before I go the next step. Thanks though, be happy to chat with Gary if he reaches out!
Absolutely beautiful bowl.
Thank you Jack, I appreciate it!
It is absolutely stunningly beautiful and magnificent.
Thanks so much Kobie! I appreciate it!
Great technique.. wonderful result.. well done Lewis.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate it!
Great job sir
Thanks Tazz I appreciate it!
You have made a great job Lewis well done and it was also well explained thanks for sharing. Bye hand have a wonderful day.
Thank you Laurence!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this experiment.
Thank you for watching!
Lovely bowl. Well done.
Thank you Bill!
Great work Lewis 👍👍👍
Thank you Rob!
That’s a beautiful piece 👏
Thank you Brian, I appreciate you watching!
Oh wonderfully done !...the peduke (?) wood has golden flash..reminds me of tiger eye stone...
The thinness is outstanding as usual...
Smart use of the jig...makes me wonder at your background..manufacturing..master craftsman..perhaps even engineering...
Great piece...thank you...🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Pamela, manufacturing yes., Padauk I think.
Gorgeous piece.
I appreciate it Jim!
Stunning!
Thank you Sandra!
Looks gorgeous
Thank you Richard!
Excellent presentation Lewis
Thanks so much Ruby!
First time I've seen your channel, but I've subscribed. Your a real Gentleman in the fact you don't expect the viewer to watch the long tedious parts if your work and edit them out. I really like the bowl and look forward to watching more of your work. From the UK, best wishes.
Thank you Jon, I appreciate it!
Pretty slick, Slick.
Thank you Scott, I appreciate it.
Turned out great. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching Lou!
great idea.
Thank you Vince!
Awesome congratulations 👍
Thank you William!
It turned out, absolutely gorgeous! The color of the wood is just out of this world. I really appreciate you sharing your talent but also the talk. The talk is very educational, especially for us newbies. Thanks again.
Thanks so much Lynda, I appreciate it!
Beautiful!
Thank you Jack!
I just subscribed. I think that this is my first time on your channel. I really enjoyed the way that you re-thought the process. In the beginning, I paused the video repeatedly to discuss my thoughts on the process, with my wife, before you got down to the nitty-gritty. We also enjoyed the look of it spinning. It looked great as you did it, but I would have twisted it just a bit as it was put together. I shared it with some of my local turners because they like to do the bandsaw half-ring versions of a board-to-bowl.
Thank you! If there were more and narrower strips I would consider rotating them. I appreciate you watching!
Yet another beautiful piece Lewis. Great job!
Thanks so much Ron!
Beautiful work sir!
Thank you Marc!
Really nice looking bowl!
Thank you!
Wow that came out nice
Thank you Mike
fantastic experiment cool bowl
Thank you Brendan, I was happy for a first go! Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool this Projekt. Best Regards from Germany.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Once again beautiful as always !
Thank you Steve!
Most excellent!!!
Thank you Harvey!
What a beautiful bowl, and a great process.
Thank you Joseph, I appreciated it!
Hi Lewis, That is beautiful and I really like the jig. One tip I learned a long time ago is to sprinkle a little salt on the glue joint between the layers. It doesn't affect the glue at all but stops the rings from moving around when pressure is applied.
Great video Lewis.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw!
Brilliant method, Lewis. Great video, my friend. Enjoyed this very much! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Gord. I’ve never seen it done this way and since I published this a few people have linked a couple channels of something close. And I thought I had an original idea! Take care buddy!
Wow excellent video. Great idea. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate you watching!
As always a beautiful job. One day I will attempt something like this.
Thank Ronnie, I appreciate it!
It’s beautiful 🌞
I appreciate that Ray!
A new subscriber and like button pusher here to say thank you. Great video. I learned alot and was inspired to a new direction of turning.
Thank you Bill, I appreciate you watching!
For an experimental piece, I think this is a stunning result Lewis. The shape is very good & the alignment problem seems hard to fathom given the care with which you work but does not detract from the finished piece. Great stuff & thanks for sharing. I love the care you took to explain what you were aiming to do & great finish to top it off. The result is very close to that produced by Gary from ThePapa 1947 as Sioux mentioned. Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don, I had not seen Gary’s version before but very similar. I like having the mortise in right off better than a glue block. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl, well done sir!
Thank you Wesley, I appreciate it!
You might consider making a jig that mounts to the tool rest or banjo to hold the parting tool captive (similar to a coring jig)
I likely will but this was the first run so I didn’t get all the way down the rabbit hole. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful creation and an ingenious route of achieving it. Thanks for sharing it with us. It was an amazing experience to watch your plan come together in such an amazing result!t. I hope you enjoy doing these videos because I, for one, sure love watching them.
Hey Carson, I do enjoy making videos. I have been renovating my sons house lately and that is taking all my time. Hopefully back in the shop soon! I appreciate you watching!
Who's a clever boy! Love it.
If only I were a boy and not an old man! Haha
I was finally able to watch the entire video. I think it was a great way to make it, I did the half rings then glued them together. I wish I could have made it thicker also so I could have more to finish up with. I also staggered the rings , but I like the way you put yours in line . Great bowl.
Thank you for watching Eric!
I saw another bowl made in a similar way but he had a jig to align his parting tool and it was attached to his backplate with double sided tape. This was excellent video and bowl is beautiful! And yea it had some very interesting patterns in the bottom while spinning.
Thank Billy!
Stunning piece, careful planning on your part played a big role in the success of the finished bowl.
Thank you very much Michael
Really inspiring! Thanks, going to try it.
Thank you Adrian! I would love to see what you make! Thanks for watching!
Lewis stunning piece mate. Love the effect with the three differ woods. Nice job mate thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate it Buddy!
Excellent work, thanks for showing us this
Thank you for watching Dom!
Beautiful
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Great video. Beautiful piece. Like the jig. Will probably try that soon.
Thanks Richard, I appreciate you watching!
Beautiful work and the jig is a great idea!
Thanks Larry, I appreciate it!
Outstanding!! How about a 45 degree cut with parting tool. Seems that would equal the wall thickness better. Ring thickness about = thickness of the board. I like your choice of back ground music. Chatoyance of wood very nice.
45 would work on 3/4 thick stock. This was 7/8 so there was a slight variation. You can make them whatever you want as long as you allow for wall thickness. Thank you for watching!
Very cool technique. Thanks!
Thank you John, I appreciate it!
Very beautiful and creative bowl, thanks for sharing this video with us 🙏🏼
Thank you for watching Hasan!
Beautiful Piece, interesting process. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Allen!
That came out really nice for an experiment well done,I enjoyed the video.
Thank you Ian!
A beautiful piece Lewis, plus a cleverly thought out way to cut the rings. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Ian and thanks for watching!
Just awesome.
Thank you Doug!
Amazing and beautiful bowl Lewis. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tony, I appreciate to!
Beautiful work. You can also use a glue block instead of the plywood. Ie, use a disc about the same diameter of your inner ring and glue your board to that. Then you can either part off the glue block or use it to make a foot.
I did it this way so that there would be no need to go back and finish the bottom afterward and the first ring is guaranteed to be centered. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I am in awe…. Great results, love it!
Thank you Brenda!
Beautiful piece! Will be trying this at some point.
Where do you get your Yorkshire grit and Hampshire sheen from?
I’m in Canada, I get it at Woodslee Summercraft. If you are in Canada please let Rob know you saw it on my channel. Thanks you for watching!
Thank you Chris
Really nice Lewis! A great way to conserve wood and make a artistic yet practical bowl.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this. My wife and I both watched it through and enjoyed it! What a beautiful bowl! Conceivable, you could make smaller versions of that bowl that would match, creating a set! Anyhow, we loved the results! Thanks again!
Thank you Ted, you certainly could make a set very easily. I appreciate you watching!
The first thing I thought of was to make a matching bowl for the nest cutting board I make. I like the technique and may be implementing it. Thanks for sharing.
That is a great idea Dave!
Thank you Lewis for sharing this learning process! A lot less messy and way more accurate than gluing dozens of small pieces of laminate and, for a first time out, amazing result. Slight misalignment possibly due to marginally uneven pressure and spread of a ring during compression after gluing? - the only time you weren't like a hawk on the piece. Beautiful work sir! 👏
Thank you Ryan, I agree on the pressure issue!
