Thank you very much Garry. I think it is a great wood to do a simple turning on. It is amazing and I have not been using it all that long. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much John. I am back home now and all wore out and catching up on comments. I answered some on my phone but they did not seem to go through. Take care my friend, Gary
Beautiful and simplistic. Now I know why me and the denatured alcohol wasn’t getting along. Gotta wait more than 5 minutes. Lol. Thanks for that information.
Thank you Clyde. Sometimes you do have to wait longer but there are times it will do the job in 5 minutes. It might depend on the batch of hot glue sticks you have. It does seem to change from batch to batch and brand from brand. It sure will work and as long and in my case it was a perfect thing to do while I watched a video. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Travis. Well there you go. That was sort of the idea for doing this. But mostly I was not wanting to rush the other turning and also was getting ready to go to the Oregon Woodturning Symposium which I am back from now. Thanks for wataching, Gary
1st, I do love Sapele and this little bowl shows why I love it. Love it Gary and looking forward to the segmented project. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Thanks so much. That was my idea as I know when first starting it can be overwhelming. Hope you are having fun turning what you do and keep it up. It is something you can do for a long time. Take care, Gary
Thank you Kimsey. It was kind of fun to do for sure. A piece of wood without bark flying off or chunks of wood. But those are fun as well. Thanks for watching, Gary
I see chatoyance in the grain of this beautiful but simple and quick bowl, Gary! This will be very useful and informative for new turners and it's interesting for experienced turners, too! You sure got a great finish on it with the Acks! Nice job, my friend! 😊 Phil
Thanks Phil it was a lot of fun and it was certainly simple. But I'm down at the woodturning symposium and actually ran into Valerie down here. Kind of my main reason to get a short one out today. See you later Gary
Thank You Gary.... Easy turn (my morning brain can handle this one)... Ah-Oh (this means something wild & crazy is coming out of your shop soon 😛 As you say "quick & easy" but you forgot to add FUN. Which it always is.... Until next time Gary.... TM
Thank you tuffy. I figured you did not have enough coffee in you for a complex one. Plus i was trying to get something done as I went to the Oregon Woodturning Symposium. Just got home. Thanks for watching, Gary
Looks really nice. I just told my wife I’m on the right career trajectory. I’m an engineer (turned teacher for 24 years), raced mountain bikes, and now I’m retiring to do woodworking full time! Hopefully some of my work will approach your quality. I have learned a ton watching your videos!
Soo......Pattern maker, Racing driver and wood turner.....anything else:):):). Excellent tutorial Gary and now after watching your video I realized why my piece flew off the lathe, I had glued the inside but I did not reinforce it on the outside perimeter ......and as I say ,turn - watch - and learn All the best my friend Yiannis
Well...fisherman, long distance bike rider(not so long now) and guitar player. So I never put in under the tenon as it is hard to get flat and that leaves a place for leverage to work against you. Hope you get it all worked out as it is a great way to mount them for me. Take care my friend, Gary
I like the look of Sapele. No sense in cluttering up good looking wood with complex shapes. Nice choice for a project. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
Thank you very much Randy. For sure this piece of wood look good when it was just laying there and flat before I even turned it. So you are correct it really doesn't need a real fancy shape to be a pretty piece of wood. Thanks for watching Gary
Thank you very much Chris! Sometimes the grain in the wood is what it is all about. This is a good example of it. I bought a very large piece of this and will be turning a lot more of it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much Billy. I'm hoping this reply gets through I'm at the Oregon woodturning symposium and I don't have a very good connection right now. But I think they are going through. Thanks for watching Gary
I have used all three methods you mention to add separate tenons to a turning block: (1) I have used wood glue (Titebond I, II, or III) to join a tenon to a turning block; (2) I have used wood glue and brown craft paper between the tenon and the block, and (3) I have used hot melt glue to join the tenon to the block. All of these methods provide a strong mounting joint. Each also provides a more substantial mount for a lathe chuck than might result turning a tenon or a mortise into the turning block -- especially with thinner turning blocks, such as you are using here. The method I prefer is the same as yours: hot melt glue. Hands down, it is the best choice for me. (1) It is faster to mount because I don't have to wait hours for the glue to set; (2) it provides a strong and safe mounting joint, one which I have never had fail, even with larger pieces; (3) it is the easiest to dismount. I spray denatured alcohol around the hot melt glue joint, wait 30-60 seconds, and then easily pry the tenon and any residual glue away from the block with a putty knife. No additional turning or splitting with a chisel is required. Better still, the original wood remains undamaged. Sweet! Using hot melt glue has become my go-to method for mounting separate tenons. I used it first at your suggestion, for which I am continually grateful. Thanks! Another interesting and helpful video. 👍👍
Thank you very much Jerry. Yes for sure my favorite method is the hot glue on a turning like this. I like it for thin boards but when turning a chunk of wood I normally just turn a tenon on it. But it needs to be thick enough that I can do that and still get the depth I am hoping for. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much. I find the hot glue to hold just fine. But I would suggest practicing with a few pieces you're not too concerned with just to get the hang of how to put it on and how much you need and I think you'll be very happy with it. Thanks for watching Gary
Nice little bowl Gary! Looking forward to your next segmented project as well. Lastly, I’m going need more info on the car racing pic you showed at the end of the video!! 😉 Stuart
Thank you Stuart. Segmented turning got the first coat of finish today. Will not be this Friday but the following. So the race car...well my son has a race care and does a number of races a year. One is local here in Portland . Back in 2011 he ask if I would drive in that race. There was one day that was just more or a fun day so I did. I drove the last 45 minutes of the race and only gave up one position. It was pouring down rain that day. I did drive on track day a week before where there was not that many cars on the track. I have video of me driving in the race. Could hardly see out the windshield. But I finished and retired from racing LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks for the racing story Gary. I forgot that Portland had a speedway until your pic. About 15-16 years ago I raced motocross at the Madras MX just for the fun of it a couple times. I placed in my age bracket but that was only because there were so few of us all I had to do was finish without crashing lol!
Gary, that turned out really smart a very nice wee bowl, the best thing was your explanation of how you went about it for others to understand. Well done and thank you
It might be simple, but it is still beautiful ... going back to simple gives your brain a rest, meaning when you tackle something more complex you do a better job 👍
Beautiful, simple bowl. My first bowl was from a well seasoned oak 2 x 8 that had been in the barn for over 50 years. My sister uses it for her pins and needles.
Thank you Jim. Always nice to have your first bowl still being used. My first one was a nut bowl I made my mother in grade school shop class. That was about 1960 or 61. I think it is in our attic right now and I need to find it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Nice bowl and lesson, Gary. A very pristine piece of wood. I will say that I have little use for glue blocks with hot glue. Most likely my paralyzed hands are the reason. To safely use a glue gun I need everything right in front of me, not up by the headstock. Glad they work for others & I don't mind them with wood glue, when I can plan ahead. I like between centers for a tenon or just the trusty worm screw. I just finished four identical solid wenge platters that began at 15/16" by 9 1/2" and finished at 3/4" by 9", with a 3.5-4mm mortise, a slight OG shape and a 4mm high/deep rim on the top. Sorry for the jump to metric. The tiny numbers were metric in my head. My point was that I was glad to use a screw with a spacer just like yours, then on to a thin mortise after the bottom was done, for a dense and heavy wood like that. Looking forward to that segmented masterpiece.
Thank you very much Jay. Your Wenge pieces sound like they would be very nice. For sure the hot glue is not for everyone and you sure have a good reason not to use it totally understood. I can't wait to get home to finish that segmented piece it's looking pretty good right now. Thanks for watching Gary
Hi Gary, Thank you for the great idea with how to do a blank and how to remove it afterwards, i’m definitely going to use that idea and I might have to do a few smaller bowls just like that one you did. Thank you for the ideas
Great information and guidance for new turners, Gary. I'm sure a lot of more experienced turners will like it, as well. I know I appreciated seeing the basics demonstrated again. Nicely done, my friend!! 👏👏👏👏 Happy turning, .....Gord
Good evening, Gary. Excellent video, beautiful piece. Acks makes a great product and is easy to use. Looking forward to to your segmented piece in your next video. Race car driver? What next? I love it.
Hi Gary. That is a simple but elegant bowl. The woodgrain is beautiful and the finish just magnifies the grain. As always, I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Blessings to you and your family my friend.
Beautiful little bowl and I agree sapele wood is beautiful as it has lots of color and beautiful grain patterns, I like to have some on hand all the time! Well done and thanks! Cheers Al
Thank you Al and I agree that is a very beautiful wood. As a matter of fact I picked up a nice long board when I got this and I should have enough for a while. Thanks for watching Gary
2 things wrong with this video Gary. One, I would have never used that beautiful piece of wood for my first bowl! I think I used a piece of 4x4. Second, no ones first bowl will ever look as good as that! Really beautiful job! Nice video brother!
Well Chris you are right on what you said about maybe starting with scrap wood and for sure this is beautiful grain. When they built those houses behind us there was all kinds of scraps I should have asked for. Like 4X8 chunks. Those would have been great for a demo on your first bowl. Or just to show you can get a nice looking bowl from scraps. I am going to send you an email about something not related to this. And ask what you think. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Just lovely,Gary. My husband finally got me some Sapele. I am so excited to turn it. Letting him finish up crochet hook handles, I don't like spindle turning something that small. I would rather do bowls.
I use double sided tape for a lot of things. How big of a turning have you done with the double sided tape I will give the 3M a try for the things I use it for.
Gary, one thing I did in making the removable tenon was to place a mark/line on the #1 jaw and a similar tick on the tenon so when mounting in the chuck it’s almost always at the same spot.
Thank you Robert. All my number one jaws have a sharpie mark on it and almost all of my tenants have a matching mark on it as well. That really does help to make it run true if you put it back in. Thanks for watching Gary
Thank you Robert I believe that's how I do it. I do the exact same thing if I plan on taking a bowl out of the check before it's finished it'll generally run perfect when you put it back in. That is as long as it's not greenwood if it's a dry piece of wood it should go back in just the way the tenants do. Thanks for watching Gary
Thank you Leo. No I guess I must have left it in there to see who might see it.😎 Or maybe I knew it would sand away with ease. But I actually I do not even recall it being there. The wood really does sand easily so I have no answer for that. I may have to watch the video again. Might be a good point to mention for those who are making these in batches to sell. Gary
I'm new to wood turning and I have been watching your videos. These videos are well put together and you explain things clearly with lots of detail. I learn something from all of your videos that I watched. I'm really amazed that the hot glue holds the tenon on the bowl. Have you ever had one come off?
Thank you very much. Happy you are enjoying my videos. No I have not had one come off. Tailstock support helps if you are still roughing out. The hot glue is very strong if put on correctly. Which means that it is plenty hot. I have a glue gun with 60/100 watt. Both those settings work. The 100 heats faster and that is what I use. Thanks for watching, Gary
A very nice bowl. Good shape. Excellent finish. Simple, no complex tool work. 👍👍May I ask, how long would it take you to do one. That is assuming you could just proceed without interruption. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you Glen. I would say 15 minutes would be plenty of time. You could skip the sealer and just use the Acks paste and cut out a little waiting time. Thanks for watching Gary
Nice little project, well done. Platters or shallow bowls are great fun and simple to do. When I was starting out turning, I made many platters, learned a lot and got some good practice in. Thanks for refreshing my memory on that!
Very nice job explaining the basics. You made it look easy enough that it will help knock back alot of beginners terrors. When I started I just knew that chunk of wood was gonna get me. Lol. Hey! I was wondering why you turned off the comments on the video of your grandsons bowl! You're an awesome Grandpa! I can't wait to start my grandbabies on my lathe! The youngest grandsons first word was bowl!
Thank you very much Hugh. For sure it is simple and starting out I do remember those feelings of fear. But that was around 1960 or 61. I did go on the be a wood pattern maker and turned things 6 foot in diameter. Now that can be a real fear factor. But like anything you get used to it. By the way you may be thinking of another wood turner that helped his grandson turn a bowl. That my have been Larry the woodturner. Thanks for watching, Gary
Great looking little bowl, Gary. It's fun to get back to the "easier" and more basic turnings now and then. It's more relaxing for me, anyway. How did you end up finishing the bottom? By the way, the race looks fun!!!
Thank you Mike. For sure it was fun to do and very simple. But today I am back on my segmented turning. I was gone to the Oregon Woodturning Symposium and did not want to rush it so I did this nice simple one. It was only the second time I drove my sons race car. The first was a nice dry day and it was what they call track day. So only a few other cars on the track. This was Oct 2011 and it was pouring down rain. YIKES. I was only going to drive for 15 minutes but my son ask if I could finish the race so it was 45 minutes. And I only gave up one position so I felt good about that. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Amy. Most of my projects have found a place to sit in our home. I do not sell. i did a craft show at our church once because i just kept getting asked to do it. You can find my email in my about page. Drop me a line and we can talk. Gary
Thank you very much Donald. I think one of the most important things to getting a good finish is a really good sanding job. Without that your finish will not really do the job. The other thing is try not to put too much finish on at a time and make sure it's laid nice and flat. Also it helps to either sand or use Scotch brite on it in between coats. Take care Gary
I have used general purpose and high temperature hot glue and all of it has worked. The only thing I would suggest is make sure that your hot glue gun is plenty hot and it melts it as best that it can. The hot glue gun that I have has two settings 60 w and 100 w both of them will do the job if it's much lower than a 60 watt I don't think it'll get it hot enough to really get it to grab ahold of the grain. That's the only thing I can really think of. Thanks for watching Gary
When you glue that tenon on, is that a special glue stick or just the normal stick? I'm just started turning and have just finished my first bowl. Nice piece! Thanks
Thank you Doug Happy you and liked it. It's just standard hot blue nothing special about it it's not even the real high temperature stuff. It's really all about making sure that it's as hot as it can be and make sure it flows against the joint the best you can get it and I have not had any problems with it. Make sure you practice on something not really important and that'll get you started and you'll feel comfortable about using it. Thanks for watching
Beautiful little dish Gary. Sometimes it’s good for us woodworkers/turners to take a step back from producing fancier work and take time to work of doing a smaller, simpler project. Great video on the technique of the basics of turning, something I could have really used when I was new to turning. What kind of wood do you generally use for your tenon glue blocks? I’m looking forward to seeing your video of that segmented piece that you mentioned. Take care my friend, Scott
Thank you Scott sometimes simple and little is a lot of fun especially if you don't have a lot of time to get one done. As far as what would I use for tenon that are hot glued on I'll use just about any scraps that I have. But I do try to use wood that I know is strong enough to handle it. Thanks for watching Gary
Great presentation for a simple bowl Gary. What was the applicator that you used for the Zinzer seal coat? I have used 400 sandpaper to do that but it sounded like you were using an abrasive applicator. Also, did you just simply hand sand the bottom or did you put it in the jumbo jaws and sand on the lathe? I am wanting to send your video to a beginner. Wood Turner, and just had those questions. Thanks
Thank you Van. I put the sealcoat on with a piece of material I'm not even sure what it was made out of it was kind of a mesh cloth of some sorts. I generally will use something like an old t-shirt to apply it on and that seems to work quite well. As far as sanding the bottom I just sanded that by hand . Thanks for watching Gary
Gary, very beautiful bowl and as usual you explain all the steps. I do have one question that I’ve been looking for on RUclips for a long time. I had a bad experience using hot glue, on one of my projects on the lathe where it flew off. Do you use a special type and brand of hot glue?
Hi Bruce and thanks for watching. I would say the hot glue I use is basic hobby hot glue. Some I bought at Harbor Freight and some at Bi-mart. What I do is make sure the gun is as hot as you can get it. I have a 60/100 watt setting on mine. I normally use the 100 as it gets hot faster. Also i do not put any under the tenon. Only around the outside. If it does not get down flat it seems like it could give the bowl leverage to pull off. Others may have luck doing that but it also makes it much harder to remove. Hope that helps, Gary
Gary, this video is very much appreciated. Sometimes less is more and my husband seems to forget that, he seems to be working on complex designs more these days. So Gary we have not tried to sell our pieces yet so for example the little bowl you just did what price range would it be in?. if you don't mind me asking. Thanks again and be well my friend.
Thank you Linda I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I do not sell what I make but this piece of wood would cost about $3 and takes very little amount of work to make it I think if you were to sell it for $20 that wouldn't be too bad of a deal for everybody. Thanks for watching
Thank you for watching . I uses both the general use hot glue and have used the high strength. I find they work the same but the high strength takes longer to release the way I do it. Very important to get the glue as hot as it can. And having a higher watt glue gun helps. I have a 60/100 watt and it words fine on either setting but I use the 100 because it melts faster. Take care, Gary
Really pretty. Just curious, what is the reasoning for turning the lathe on in reverse to do the sanding? (The lathe I have access to doesn’t go in reverse.)
Thank you very much Barbra. So I find it more comfortable for my to sand it that way. Easier on my hand that way (old injury) And it directs the dust toward my dust collector port. But you can get a great job sanding either way. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks for the tip! Depending on the piece you are turning you just might want to turn that area away. Such as you will in many logs you turn. For pre milled lumber of one of my segment turnings I use the glued on tenons almost a 100 percent of the time. There are a few cases where I might use a recess. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Randy and yes that will work. If I can at all not have a recess left on the bottom of the bowl I will try . It could be reshaped after it is done but then it would not be as quick and easy. Thanks for watching and your tip. Gary
Very nice Gary! I’m always looking for ways to use smaller pieces of wood. I haven’t used the hot glue method although I’ve seen you and others do it several times. I suppose I don’t trust that it will hold……but I will 😅. Must you use denatured alcohol? Can you use a cheaper substitute like rubbing alcohol? I imagine it might be about food safe concerns, but since it’s on the bottom and will evaporate anyway….maybe? A beautiful little bowl/dish! Thanks for that. Cheers, Rick. Oh and I AM off to watch Phil’s video 😊
Thank you very much Rick. I see no reason why rubbing alcohol would not work as well. But what might be even cheaper I haven't done it myself but you could use a heat gun to soften it and it'll pop right off as well. Just make sure you don't get it too hot and have it melt in deeper into the wood it's just a matter of getting it warm enough to pop loose. Take care Gary
@@ThePapa1947 nothing special about it huh? Well, I’m glad to hear that so I had been wondering after seeing you and other woodworkers gluing a tenon like you did. Well, I have that glue so now maybe I can try some small blanks I have. Thank you for the info and sharing your talent. You and Mr. Phil Anderson I enjoy watching y’all’s work.
@@ThePapa1947 thank you very much for responding back to me. I greatly appreciate it. I think I’ve told you before that I am a newbie. I try to pay attention and learn for those that I think do excellent work.
Thanks Lynda. I have a two temperature hot glue gun. it is 60/100 watt. Both will do the job but the 100 gets to temp real fast. Before having this one I would try to turn the heat gun on while I was getting things ready. Practice on a few things and you will figure it out.
Hello Gary. Your wood is of course too thin to turn an internal recess on the underside, so you are doing the right thing by gluing on a manufactured recess, however. However, I have had bad experiences with your method, since it easily happens that the recess produced is not one hundred percent in the middle, i.e. it is centered. If you then turn the bowl over, it may run out of round. I therefore prefer to glue on the recess that has been made and turn it round with the worm screw, of course very carefully, it's only glued. Only then do I turn the bowl over, remove the screw and hollow out the bowl. Another good method is, after the first inversion of the bowl, to turn a suitable recess into the inside to put a chuck in. Turn it over again and I can then rework the outside of the shell and the recess that was made. Then everything runs hundred per round. Greetings from northern Germany, Schorschi.
Thank you very much for your ideas. They are all good. I have had very good luck in this method I use. What I do is have those pre-made tenons large enough to true up if not perfect before I flip them. But the way I make them they are centered on the little hole I have when making them. I also take the cone off the live center so I have the very small hole and the ring left from the live center to line them up. I hope that all makes sense because it really does work good for me. Thank you for watching and you tips. Take care, Gary
I suppose the main reason is where I have my lathe it is hard to get a full shot of everything including my face. I have shown it a few times though. Thanks for watching!
Nice little bowl.
Thank you very much Brad!
Sapele doesn't disappoint always turns nicely. Great job encouraging the new guys

...wow...that grain is amazing!...thanks for sharing this with us newbies...👍
Matt
Thanks for watching! Happy you enjoyed the video Matt.
Have fun turning
Gary
Salut Gary très bien réalisé bravo 👍👏👋 prend soin de toi
Thank you very much Denis!
It’s a beauty. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Herbie, happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Love the Sapele...the grain just glows! Definitely an easy bowl...
Thank you Carol it sure is pretty wood that's for sure. And easy was just what the doctor ordered on this one. Thanks for watching
Gary
Beautiful. That would be a wonderful gift.
Thank you Todd. Yes for sure these would be great gifts. I may have to make a batch just for that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow that is beautiful Gary. Love the grain it amazing. Thanks again for another wonderful turning video
Thank you very much Chris! Sometimes the grain in the wood is what it is all about. This is a good example of it. I bought a very large piece of this and will be turning a lot more of it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
BEAUTIFUL. fast and beautiful.
Thanks so much Manjit!
Another great project by the Master. Thanks.
Thank you Mark that is very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching

Gorgeous little bowl, Gary!
Thank you very much Billy. I'm hoping this reply gets through I'm at the Oregon woodturning symposium and I don't have a very good connection right now. But I think they are going through. Thanks for watching
Gary
I have used all three methods you mention to add separate tenons to a turning block: (1) I have used wood glue (Titebond I, II, or III) to join a tenon to a turning block; (2) I have used wood glue and brown craft paper between the tenon and the block, and (3) I have used hot melt glue to join the tenon to the block.
All of these methods provide a strong mounting joint. Each also provides a more substantial mount for a lathe chuck than might result turning a tenon or a mortise into the turning block -- especially with thinner turning blocks, such as you are using here.
The method I prefer is the same as yours: hot melt glue. Hands down, it is the best choice for me. (1) It is faster to mount because I don't have to wait hours for the glue to set; (2) it provides a strong and safe mounting joint, one which I have never had fail, even with larger pieces; (3) it is the easiest to dismount. I spray denatured alcohol around the hot melt glue joint, wait 30-60 seconds, and then easily pry the tenon and any residual glue away from the block with a putty knife. No additional turning or splitting with a chisel is required. Better still, the original wood remains undamaged. Sweet!
Using hot melt glue has become my go-to method for mounting separate tenons. I used it first at your suggestion, for which I am continually grateful. Thanks!
Another interesting and helpful video. 👍👍
Thank you very much Jerry. Yes for sure my favorite method is the hot glue on a turning like this. I like it for thin boards but when turning a chunk of wood I normally just turn a tenon on it. But it needs to be thick enough that I can do that and still get the depth I am hoping for.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I wouldn't have thought the hot glue tenon would hold, definitely going to use that trick!
Thank you very much. I find the hot glue to hold just fine. But I would suggest practicing with a few pieces you're not too concerned with just to get the hang of how to put it on and how much you need and I think you'll be very happy with it. Thanks for watching
Gary
The bowl is beautiful. I wish it could be mine.
Thank you Beverly.
Nice little bowl Gary! Looking forward to your next segmented project as well. Lastly, I’m going need more info on the car racing pic you showed at the end of the video!! 😉
Stuart
Thank you Stuart. Segmented turning got the first coat of finish today. Will not be this Friday but the following.
So the race car...well my son has a race care and does a number of races a year. One is local here in Portland . Back in 2011 he ask if I would drive in that race. There was one day that was just more or a fun day so I did. I drove the last 45 minutes of the race and only gave up one position. It was pouring down rain that day.
I did drive on track day a week before where there was not that many cars on the track. I have video of me driving in the race. Could hardly see out the windshield. But I finished and retired from racing LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks for the racing story Gary. I forgot that Portland had a speedway until your pic. About 15-16 years ago I raced motocross at the Madras MX just for the fun of it a couple times. I placed in my age bracket but that was only because there were so few of us all I had to do was finish without crashing lol!
Another great Video, you are a great teacher!
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching.
Gary
Great video for new turners Gary.
The grain almost has the affect of copper.
Thank you Jim. Yes you are right about that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, that turned out really smart a very nice wee bowl, the best thing was your explanation of how you went about it for others to understand. Well done and thank you
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching.
Gary
Great educational video, thanks Gary.
Glad you enjoyed it George and thanks for watching.
It might be simple, but it is still beautiful ... going back to simple gives your brain a rest, meaning when you tackle something more complex you do a better job 👍
Thank you very much That's kind of the plan and I hope it works out thanks for watching
Gary
Great information and a nice looking piece!
Thank you very much Louie. Simple is certainly an order on this one. Thanks for watching
Gary
Beautiful, simple bowl. My first bowl was from a well seasoned oak 2 x 8 that had been in the barn for over 50 years. My sister uses it for her pins and needles.
Thank you Jim. Always nice to have your first bowl still being used.
My first one was a nut bowl I made my mother in grade school shop class. That was about 1960 or 61. I think it is in our attic right now and I need to find it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice bowl and lesson, Gary. A very pristine piece of wood. I will say that I have little use for glue blocks with hot glue. Most likely my paralyzed hands are the reason. To safely use a glue gun I need everything right in front of me, not up by the headstock. Glad they work for others & I don't mind them with wood glue, when I can plan ahead.
I like between centers for a tenon or just the trusty worm screw. I just finished four identical solid wenge platters that began at 15/16" by 9 1/2" and finished at 3/4" by 9", with a 3.5-4mm mortise, a slight OG shape and a 4mm high/deep rim on the top. Sorry for the jump to metric. The tiny numbers were metric in my head. My point was that I was glad to use a screw with a spacer just like yours, then on to a thin mortise after the bottom was done, for a dense and heavy wood like that.
Looking forward to that segmented masterpiece.
Thank you very much Jay. Your Wenge pieces sound like they would be very nice.
For sure the hot glue is not for everyone and you sure have a good reason not to use it totally understood. I can't wait to get home to finish that segmented piece it's looking pretty good right now. Thanks for watching
Gary
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much Jeff.
Hi Gary,
Thank you for the great idea with how to do a blank and how to remove it afterwards, i’m definitely going to use that idea and I might have to do a few smaller bowls just like that one you did.
Thank you for the ideas
Thank you very much Mat and thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary. The chatoyance is amazing. Great project for sure. 😊
Thanks a bunch Rob. The wood is amazing.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Thanks Gary!😊 I always enjoy your videos! Look forward to your next!
Thanks so much Peggy and thanks for watching.
Great video Gary . It is always good to get new ppl started out right .
Thank you very much Jon. Sometimes simple is better. Thanks for watching
Gary
Little beauty!! Thanks for sharing
Great information and guidance for new turners, Gary. I'm sure a lot of more experienced turners will like it, as well. I know I appreciated seeing the basics demonstrated again. Nicely done, my friend!! 👏👏👏👏
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching Gord. Oregon wodturner Symposium.
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
Excellent video, beautiful piece. Acks makes a great product and is easy to use. Looking forward to to your segmented piece in your next video. Race car driver? What next? I love it.
Thank you very much Ray. Looking forward to using more of this wood.
Take care
Gary
Hi Gary. That is a simple but elegant bowl. The woodgrain is beautiful and the finish just magnifies the grain. As always, I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Blessings to you and your family my friend.
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching.
Gary
Such a great video. The bowl came out superb. Still have not done a bowl so I will revisit this video for guidance. Keep up the amazing work.-Anthony
Thank you very much Anthony. I'm sure you will enjoy turning a bowl and best of luck. Thanks for watching
Gary
That is very nice Gary!!
Beautiful little bowl and I agree sapele wood is beautiful as it has lots of color and beautiful grain patterns, I like to have some on hand all the time! Well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you Al and I agree that is a very beautiful wood. As a matter of fact I picked up a nice long board when I got this and I should have enough for a while. Thanks for watching
Gary
Lovely little
Bowl
2 things wrong with this video Gary. One, I would have never used that beautiful piece of wood for my first bowl! I think I used a piece of 4x4. Second, no ones first bowl will ever look as good as that! Really beautiful job! Nice video brother!
Well Chris you are right on what you said about maybe starting with scrap wood and for sure this is beautiful grain.
When they built those houses behind us there was all kinds of scraps I should have asked for. Like 4X8 chunks. Those would have been great for a demo on your first bowl. Or just to show you can get a nice looking bowl from scraps.
I am going to send you an email about something not related to this. And ask what you think.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Good job Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching.
👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Just lovely,Gary. My husband finally got me some Sapele. I am so excited to turn it. Letting him finish up crochet hook handles, I don't like spindle turning something that small. I would rather do bowls.
Thank you Jane. It is not only very pretty wood it really turns nicely as well. I think you're really going to love it. Thanks for watching
Gary
I have had great luck using double sided outdoor carpet tape instead of hot glue. 3M brand is my go to brand.
I use double sided tape for a lot of things. How big of a turning have you done with the double sided tape
I will give the 3M a try for the things I use it for.
How pretty! Nice simple project.
Thank you! 😊 Simple as in order for this one. Thanks for watching
Gary
Gary, one thing I did in making the removable tenon was to place a mark/line on the #1 jaw and a similar tick on the tenon so when mounting in the chuck it’s almost always at the same spot.
Thank you Robert. All my number one jaws have a sharpie mark on it and almost all of my tenants have a matching mark on it as well. That really does help to make it run true if you put it back in. Thanks for watching
Gary
Thank you Robert I believe that's how I do it. I do the exact same thing if I plan on taking a bowl out of the check before it's finished it'll generally run perfect when you put it back in. That is as long as it's not greenwood if it's a dry piece of wood it should go back in just the way the tenants do. Thanks for watching
Gary
Thnx Gary! Suppose you left that toolmark in the bottom on purpose to show the sanding? 😎
Thank you Leo. No I guess I must have left it in there to see who might see it.😎 Or maybe I knew it would sand away with ease. But I actually I do not even recall it being there. The wood really does sand easily so I have no answer for that. I may have to watch the video again. Might be a good point to mention for those who are making these in batches to sell.
Gary
I'm new to wood turning and I have been watching your videos. These videos are well put together and you explain things clearly with lots of detail. I learn something from all of your videos that I watched.
I'm really amazed that the hot glue holds the tenon on the bowl. Have you ever had one come off?
Thank you very much. Happy you are enjoying my videos.
No I have not had one come off. Tailstock support helps if you are still roughing out. The hot glue is very strong if put on correctly. Which means that it is plenty hot. I have a glue gun with 60/100 watt. Both those settings work. The 100 heats faster and that is what I use.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A very nice bowl. Good shape. Excellent finish. Simple, no complex tool work. 👍👍May I ask, how long would it take you to do one. That is assuming you could just proceed without interruption. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you Glen. I would say 15 minutes would be plenty of time. You could skip the sealer and just use the Acks paste and cut out a little waiting time.
Thanks for watching
Gary
A very nice project Gary! I recently did a couple of very small bowls for a friend out of Walnut. Very quick and I found them to be fun to do also
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching.
Gary
Gary, another wonderful bowl! Sapele is a good wood to turn and the grain looks terrific. The finish sparkles with the wax👍
Many thanks Skip. Yes I love the look of Sapele.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Gary, it's good to see a video encouraging new turners and a reminder of solid basics is good for all of us. Nicely done.
Thank you very much. Out of town so sorry about the short response. Thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice little project, well done. Platters or shallow bowls are great fun and simple to do. When I was starting out turning, I made many platters, learned a lot and got some good practice in. Thanks for refreshing my memory on that!
Thank you very much Gary. Yes lots of fun.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Very nice job explaining the basics. You made it look easy enough that it will help knock back alot of beginners terrors. When I started I just knew that chunk of wood was gonna get me. Lol. Hey! I was wondering why you turned off the comments on the video of your grandsons bowl! You're an awesome Grandpa! I can't wait to start my grandbabies on my lathe! The youngest grandsons first word was bowl!
Thank you very much Hugh. For sure it is simple and starting out I do remember those feelings of fear. But that was around 1960 or 61.
I did go on the be a wood pattern maker and turned things 6 foot in diameter. Now that can be a real fear factor. But like anything you get used to it.
By the way you may be thinking of another wood turner that helped his grandson turn a bowl. That my have been Larry the woodturner.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You're right Gary! It was Larry and his grandson! My bad! Love the videos you Larry n Phil put out! Just got yall mixed up
Haha! More crumbs!
Racing in the rain! Sideways?
That must have been a big lathe to handle a bowl (?) that big.
Pretty bowl,sapelle, chatoyance.
Yes it was but barely big enough. Crumps should help from getting sideways in the rain while racing.
Thanks
Thank you
Great looking little bowl, Gary. It's fun to get back to the "easier" and more basic turnings now and then. It's more relaxing for me, anyway. How did you end up finishing the bottom? By the way, the race looks fun!!!
Thank you Mike. For sure it was fun to do and very simple. But today I am back on my segmented turning. I was gone to the Oregon Woodturning Symposium and did not want to rush it so I did this nice simple one.
It was only the second time I drove my sons race car. The first was a nice dry day and it was what they call track day. So only a few other cars on the track. This was Oct 2011 and it was pouring down rain. YIKES. I was only going to drive for 15 minutes but my son ask if I could finish the race so it was 45 minutes. And I only gave up one position so I felt good about that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Nice! he wouldn't have to twist my arm for more time on the track, either. 😁
Gary, what do you do with all these projects? I would adore a small bowl like that. I know you don't have a storefront. Ever do craft shows?
Thank you Amy. Most of my projects have found a place to sit in our home. I do not sell. i did a craft show at our church once because i just kept getting asked to do it.
You can find my email in my about page. Drop me a line and we can talk.
Gary
Always love watching your video. Your finishes set the bar high for me. I use Acks but never get the finish you do. Any tips?
Thank you very much Donald. I think one of the most important things to getting a good finish is a really good sanding job. Without that your finish will not really do the job.
The other thing is try not to put too much finish on at a time and make sure it's laid nice and flat. Also it helps to either sand or use Scotch brite on it in between coats.
Take care
Gary
My luck with hot glue has been less than stellar, is there a special type I should buy? I see a lot of creators using it.
Chuck
I have used general purpose and high temperature hot glue and all of it has worked. The only thing I would suggest is make sure that your hot glue gun is plenty hot and it melts it as best that it can. The hot glue gun that I have has two settings 60 w and 100 w both of them will do the job if it's much lower than a 60 watt I don't think it'll get it hot enough to really get it to grab ahold of the grain. That's the only thing I can really think of. Thanks for watching
Gary
When you glue that tenon on, is that a special glue stick or just the normal stick? I'm just started turning and have just finished my first bowl. Nice piece! Thanks
Thank you Doug Happy you and liked it. It's just standard hot blue nothing special about it it's not even the real high temperature stuff. It's really all about making sure that it's as hot as it can be and make sure it flows against the joint the best you can get it and I have not had any problems with it. Make sure you practice on something not really important and that'll get you started and you'll feel comfortable about using it. Thanks for watching
Beautiful little dish Gary. Sometimes it’s good for us woodworkers/turners to take a step back from producing fancier work and take time to work of doing a smaller, simpler project. Great video on the technique of the basics of turning, something I could have really used when I was new to turning. What kind of wood do you generally use for your tenon glue blocks? I’m looking forward to seeing your video of that segmented piece that you mentioned. Take care my friend, Scott
Thank you Scott sometimes simple and little is a lot of fun especially if you don't have a lot of time to get one done. As far as what would I use for tenon that are hot glued on I'll use just about any scraps that I have. But I do try to use wood that I know is strong enough to handle it.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Great presentation for a simple bowl Gary. What was the applicator that you used for the Zinzer seal coat? I have used 400 sandpaper to do that but it sounded like you were using an abrasive applicator. Also, did you just simply hand sand the bottom or did you put it in the jumbo jaws and sand on the lathe? I am wanting to send your video to a beginner. Wood Turner, and just had those questions. Thanks
Thank you Van. I put the sealcoat on with a piece of material I'm not even sure what it was made out of it was kind of a mesh cloth of some sorts. I generally will use something like an old t-shirt to apply it on and that seems to work quite well. As far as sanding the bottom I just sanded that by hand .
Thanks for watching
Gary
Gary, very beautiful bowl and as usual you explain all the steps.
I do have one question that I’ve been looking for on RUclips for a long time. I had a bad experience using hot glue, on one of my projects on the lathe where it flew off. Do you use a special type and brand of hot glue?
Hi Bruce and thanks for watching.
I would say the hot glue I use is basic hobby hot glue. Some I bought at Harbor Freight and some at Bi-mart.
What I do is make sure the gun is as hot as you can get it. I have a 60/100 watt setting on mine. I normally use the 100 as it gets hot faster. Also i do not put any under the tenon. Only around the outside. If it does not get down flat it seems like it could give the bowl leverage to pull off. Others may have luck doing that but it also makes it much harder to remove.
Hope that helps,
Gary
Gary, this video is very much appreciated. Sometimes less is more and my husband seems to forget that, he seems to be working on complex designs more these days. So Gary we have not tried to sell our pieces yet so for example the little bowl you just did what price range would it be in?. if you don't mind me asking. Thanks again and be well my friend.
Thank you Linda I'm happy you enjoyed the video.
I do not sell what I make but this piece of wood would cost about $3 and takes very little amount of work to make it I think if you were to sell it for $20 that wouldn't be too bad of a deal for everybody.
Thanks for watching
Is there different kinds of hot glue or is that just hobby glue thanks for the info bowl looks good
Thank you for watching . I uses both the general use hot glue and have used the high strength. I find they work the same but the high strength takes longer to release the way I do it. Very important to get the glue as hot as it can. And having a higher watt glue gun helps.
I have a 60/100 watt and it words fine on either setting but I use the 100 because it melts faster.
Take care,
Gary
Really pretty. Just curious, what is the reasoning for turning the lathe on in reverse to do the sanding? (The lathe I have access to doesn’t go in reverse.)
Thank you very much Barbra.
So I find it more comfortable for my to sand it that way. Easier on my hand that way (old injury) And it directs the dust toward my dust collector port.
But you can get a great job sanding either way.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You should use that glue on tenon more often, you will waist less wood than cutting in a tenon just to cut it off later !!👍👍👍
Thanks for the tip! Depending on the piece you are turning you just might want to turn that area away. Such as you will in many logs you turn.
For pre milled lumber of one of my segment turnings I use the glued on tenons almost a 100 percent of the time. There are a few cases where I might use a recess.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
On a bowl that small I've used a recess as small as 1/8" and had now problems! Randy Lucas
Thank you Randy and yes that will work. If I can at all not have a recess left on the bottom of the bowl I will try . It could be reshaped after it is done but then it would not be as quick and easy.
Thanks for watching and your tip.
Gary
Very nice Gary! I’m always looking for ways to use smaller pieces of wood. I haven’t used the hot glue method although I’ve seen you and others do it several times. I suppose I don’t trust that it will hold……but I will 😅. Must you use denatured alcohol? Can you use a cheaper substitute like rubbing alcohol? I imagine it might be about food safe concerns, but since it’s on the bottom and will evaporate anyway….maybe? A beautiful little bowl/dish! Thanks for that.
Cheers, Rick. Oh and I AM off to watch Phil’s video 😊
Thank you very much Rick. I see no reason why rubbing alcohol would not work as well. But what might be even cheaper I haven't done it myself but you could use a heat gun to soften it and it'll pop right off as well. Just make sure you don't get it too hot and have it melt in deeper into the wood it's just a matter of getting it warm enough to pop loose.
Take care
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’ll give that a try with a couple of wood scraps and see how that works. Thanks!
What kind of wood do you use to make your glue on tenons?
I use what every scraps I have left. If I do not have any scraps that size I will use Yellow Birch as it is strong and a decent price per BF.
That hot glue is it the same type that you use like on Crafts?
It is a general purpose glue stick so probably the same.
@@ThePapa1947 nothing special about it huh? Well, I’m glad to hear that so I had been wondering after seeing you and other woodworkers gluing a tenon like you did. Well, I have that glue so now maybe I can try some small blanks I have. Thank you for the info and sharing your talent. You and Mr. Phil Anderson I enjoy watching y’all’s work.
@@lyndaowen2154 the trick is get the glue very hot before putting it in. Needs to flow nicely.
@@ThePapa1947 thank you very much for responding back to me. I greatly appreciate it. I think I’ve told you before that I am a newbie. I try to pay attention and learn for those that I think do excellent work.
Thanks Lynda. I have a two temperature hot glue gun. it is 60/100 watt. Both will do the job but the 100 gets to temp real fast.
Before having this one I would try to turn the heat gun on while I was getting things ready.
Practice on a few things and you will figure it out.
Hello Gary. Your wood is of course too thin to turn an internal recess on the underside, so you are doing the right thing by gluing on a manufactured recess, however. However, I have had bad experiences with your method, since it easily happens that the recess produced is not one hundred percent in the middle, i.e. it is centered. If you then turn the bowl over, it may run out of round. I therefore prefer to glue on the recess that has been made and turn it round with the worm screw, of course very carefully, it's only glued. Only then do I turn the bowl over, remove the screw and hollow out the bowl. Another good method is, after the first inversion of the bowl, to turn a suitable recess into the inside to put a chuck in. Turn it over again and I can then rework the outside of the shell and the recess that was made. Then everything runs hundred per round. Greetings from northern Germany, Schorschi.
Thank you very much for your ideas. They are all good. I have had very good luck in this method I use.
What I do is have those pre-made tenons large enough to true up if not perfect before I flip them. But the way I make them they are centered on the little hole I have when making them. I also take the cone off the live center so I have the very small hole and the ring left from the live center to line them up. I hope that all makes sense because it really does work good for me.
Thank you for watching and you tips.
Take care,
Gary
Why is it that you don't show your face on your videos?
I suppose the main reason is where I have my lathe it is hard to get a full shot of everything including my face. I have shown it a few times though.
Thanks for watching!
@@ThePapa1947 I totally understand it's cool I do like your video
