Woodturning - Diagonal Plywood Bowl

8 x 3 inch Plywood Bowl.
This was long and very tough turn. Hardwood ply and loads of extra glue made things very slow. I had to change the end of my carbide tool half way through!
Thanks for watching.

As a novice & new learning turner all I can say is that is absolutely cracking. Great job ! This really has given me good knowledge 👌👍👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Glad to help 👍😀

[@howdoiremovethis]

Ooooh! It's my day off tomorrow and I have half a sheet somewhere. This is epic. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Have fun!

[@saadma99]

A new approach if art 👌🏻

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you 😀👍

[@theodoranorton4779]

I really enjoy the way you always manage to find amazing grain in the least prepossessing of woods, all while keeping the tidiest workshop on RUclips. Many thanks!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@antfactory_woodworking]

It's a really nice bowl. I'll have to look at the other works.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 😎👍

[@williamlott7612]

Very nice Mr. Myabi…Darlington, South Carolina USA

[@RDMWoodturning]

😂👍 Thank you!

[@rickeyburke2596]

Loved the way you changed the angle. Gives it an amazing look.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Many thanks 😊

[@stephendonathan6782]

Beautiful work 👏! The angle you put on it made the difference. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

[@RDMWoodturning]

You too. Many thanks 😊

[@mikemercer6307]

Looking great

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@teckle.turnings]

Changing the angle, brilliant! Turned out nice! 😊

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 😎👍

[@stevedoolanTacoma]

I love the bowl. Plywood is surprisingly beautiful especially on an angle. When I was looking at the final shots I instantly thought how nice it would look if every 2 or 3 layers you put in some color. I know you like to work with tulip wood veneer. Thanks for the videos.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Awesome, thank you!

[@harrykeel8557]

That is a very unique bowl. I made a bowl out of plywood once, however, just as you noted in your video, it was extremely difficult and tough to turn. But it did make a great looking bowl. Maybe I might try another one sometime. But do it differently that trying to hog out the middle, like stacking rings and then smoothing out the inside and outside.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Sounds great!

[@stephensurowitz331]

Real nice job! I could only imagine how hard that plywood was to use!, great job once again and turn safe!

[@RDMWoodturning]

It was! Thank you 👍

[@jasonjohnson3605]

I love the way a piece of what could be anything, gets to be turned into something as lovely as your bowl. It always amazes me how dang cool the grain of all that wood turns out after you work your magic. Ive seen some other woodturners on RUclips use plywood, but the way you mounted it gave it a new dimension of cool. Nice work good sir. Got yourself a new sub outta this video !👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you so much. 😎👍

[@lancestancliffe4885]

Just subscribed, great bowl.
Couldn't figure out why you put the half block on and fixed the ring lol then I re read the description lol. Love how it added the subtle diagonal and I like the finish, I would happily put my fruit in it and place it in the centre of my table. I'd be very proud of that
Great job well done, love it L

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks for the sub!

[@lilliekelly3406]

That's a really nice bowl Sir. You are so creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much for watching 👍😎

[@msudawgma]

That pretty cool, looks like a lot of work, I like it.

[@RDMWoodturning]

It was a much longer turn than usual. About 4 hours on the lathe! Thanks for watching

[@Susan0716able]

Very nice! I've done a couple things like this and really like how they turned out. Call me nuts, but I like turning plywood! Thanks, Dave.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Cool, thanks 😎👍

[@williampeak8851]

Awesome,that sure turned out beautiful 👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@joemissanelli3395]

Very nice! Great work!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you

[@AllenOxendine]

Thanks for sharing. Interesting process. Full View and Like 👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

Interesting piece. I am sure they plywood was rough going, but it looks great.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes it was. Thanks for watching 👍

[@SilverBack.]

Great result, well done . I wonder how far it can be tipped before it turns bad

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. I really like the effect with plywood. I'm definitely going to explore it some more. 👍

[@leftmono1016]

Must have a go at this, really like the idea to mount it on the p155 😀👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks. I really like the angle too. 😎

[@WhittlingWoods]

Very cool. Great work! 👍✌️

[@RDMWoodturning]

Cheers. Thank you 😊

[@markthompson6860]

very will done

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you

[@cookiescoop6065]

That's kewl I like the off set ✌️

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@AmericansWillRise]

I agree with the "savagery" that is plywood. I think they use diamonds and carbide chips, instead of sawdust, in the glue joints, to eliminate shipping. 😂

[@RDMWoodturning]

Absolutely 👍 🤣

[@HarmonicGrunt]

Awesome!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@roystheboy]

Very impressive

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 👍

Thank you 😀👍

[@beckyreid-gossard424]

I see you used the carbide tip in the beginning. I have been taught to use bowl gouges to get the majority of the wood taken off then finish with the carbide tips. I happen to think the carbide tips work better from beginning to end. Is it better to use the bowl gouges? I just wanted to hear other's comment and advice. I'm still very new to turning.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Bowl gouge is always best on traditional wood, but as this was plywood with loads of glue and multidirectional grain, the only real option was carbide. If I’d have used traditional tools, they’d be blunt in seconds. Hope this helps. Thanks 😊

[@Baetzibaer]

Chapeau!!! How to turn a pike of perfect plywood into a bagful of glue-contaminated sawdust-waste, wasting the maximum of time ... 😱

[@RDMWoodturning]

It was a fun project to try, but not one to repeat too often. Thanks for watching

[@dutchbeef8920]

Once you round the corners does it stabilise a bit?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes. Anything that I can cut off before mounting on the lathe really helps with stability. Plus I can spin it faster and get cleaner cuts.

[@rupertschachl8728]

Great Item! Which Carbid-Tool do you use for this work? rupert

[@RDMWoodturning]

That tools was just a cheap round ended one from Amazon. I have a lovely set from Easy Wood Tools now 👍

[@markthompson6860]

where you get the spare blades from

[@RDMWoodturning]

I find that eBay is usually the best.

[@patternharlot]

❤️❤️❤️🎉

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you 👍

[@EdRaastad-rj6mi]

Why not cut it round on a band aww? Teally nice bowl.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@GianbrunoPirona]

Mi piacerebbe avere la tua bravura ma dovrei avere tanti anni di meno..bell' oggetto

[@RDMWoodturning]

grazie mille per i tuoi gentili commenti 🙂

[@marknelon6958]

Plywood is murder on your tools. You should try traditional tools sometime. But you will have to sharpen often.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Agreed. I just didn't want to spend all that time sharpening!
