Woodturning a Fantastic Bowl From a Flat Board
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- This is my first attempt at woodturning a bowl from a board. The inspiration for this piece was from a video by thepapa1947. For a full instructional video on this process, please watch his video. Link below to his video and channel. I tried to stick to his instructions for my first attempt and feel I was fairly successful. I used Walnut, quilted Maple, and Padauk in this piece. I’m not sure I like the idea of using Padauk next to maple as it really hinders the finishing options due to the Padauk bleeding into the Maple. I used a gloss clear lacquer on this piece to limit the color bleed. This was a fun a simple piece to make that required a few special setups. I really enjoyed making this project and now that I feel confident in the technique, I will likely adapt it to try some different designs in the future. I had some successes and failures in this video. I tried and failed to keep the first ring from bouncing around on the lathe when cut. It was a bit of a rushed idea and I’ll come up with something better next time. I also definitely need to get a smaller parting tool. The one I used is a 3/16”x1/2” wide and burned the wood a little when cutting. I tried to modify it after cutting the outer ring and it seemed to work better but I think a smaller cutting tip would be ideal. Maybe a 1/8 inch tool would work better. Thank you to my friend Matt for welding me up that stainless steel tool rest for making the angled cuts. It might not be a pretty weld but it did exactly what I needed it to do. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great day!

I get such a positive emotional charge out of seeing clever woodworking tricks like this. What a neat (and material efficient) way to make such a beautiful bowl!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I hope you have a wonderful day
Scott
What a fantastic way to prepare a blank. I didn't expect the pattern to line up so well when stacking the rings.
Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!
I was wrong. I told my wife that this video was clickbait and that you can't turn a bowl from a thin flat board. I was wrong, great video!
Sorry you had to admit you were wrong to the wife. I hate when that happens. Haha. Seems to happen when I’m right too tho…. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
Really cool. The combination of color and the nice random curves makes for a pleasing result. I think I will try that. Thank you.
Wow! I'm still not entirely convinced you didnt use any magic when making this bowl. I'm astonished at how well it turned out, given how skeptical I was at the outset. Beautiful work!
I promise no magic wands were used in this video. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
I watch A LOT of woodworking videos. this is the first time ive seen something like this. really clever! love to see it brother.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind words. I hope you have a great day!
Scott
Absolutely beautiful, and tied together with some soothing tones. Perfect combination, congrats on such a stunning piece!

Nice work, Scott! I was thoroughly mesmerized the whole time.
Thank you! Hope you have a great day!
For your first piece, INCREDIBLE! Really enjoy your work and with fans like Mike Holten and the Papa himself, your work hasn't gone unnoticed. Have a piece of mesquite set aside for the same project. Well done, my friend
Thank you very much! Hope you have a great day
Scott
That’s absolutely amazing it turned out amazing I also lost the blank and how you made it. Keep up the great work
Thanks so much 😊
taking woodturning to another level, art. I like it. BTW absolutely, stunning music

Very interesting! I’ve never seen one made this way. I love the wood chosen and the pattern made. I also love the music you used. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Hope you have a great day!
Scott
Stunning!🥰
That was a really nice video from beginning to end. Good pattern well designed and carefully glued. The bowl looks great! I also really enjoyed your selection of music!!
Thank you very much! Hope you have a great day!
Even though I watched the whole thing I still don't understand how you did that,! Very clever. And watch your thumbs near that bandsaw blade!
Will do. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
Impressive craftsmanship.
This is really awesome! So many cool tips a newer wood turner can pick up and this is a great method I can teach to my kids who are learning the craft.
Thank you very much. There is a link in the description to a step by step tutorial by the original creator of this piece if you would like a more in depth explanation of the process. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
Your Video style is awesome! Love it
OK now, that is pretty effing clever, impressive and beautiful!!
Thank you very much!
This guy earned a sub with this one. First time seeing the channel. The skill, technique... amazing. The music is good too which is always a plus
Thank you very much! Much appreciated. Hope you have a great day!!
Same here!
Интересная техника! Обязательно сделаю подобное. Удачи в работе и спасибо за видео!
That is gorgeous, great wood to show off. I love it
Thank you very much!
absolutely beautiful.....brilliant.....I love it. ❤
That is beautiful, and love the music.
Impressive work
amazing skills. one of the most satisfying videos I've seen in recent times. for the technique, the attention to detail and the planning! 10 out of 10!
I subscribed to the channel!
Thank you very much! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Amazing. I have never seen this technique on a lathe before.
Beautiful piece, Scott. Makes me wish I had been more adventurous with my bandsaw and lathe back in the day.
Thank you Glenn. And thanks for helping out with the new camera. I really appreciate your help. I’ll get it figured out eventually. Have a great day!
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Insanely clever!!
Stunning…….well done
amazing skills. thank you for sharing
Incredible work, Scott! Such a great method! I had no idea how you were going to turn that board into a bowl. Turned out beautifully and excellent choice on that tiger maple. Well done!
Thanks Cam! Appreciated as always. Have a great day my friend!
Very impressed by the trust in the hot glue. I would have never done it, but, l just learned something new.
I felt the same before trying it. It actually worked very well. Just make sure to use plenty. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
Scott
VERY well done! !! !!!
Many thanks!!
Good idea and your job!
That looks gorgeous, and I would love to try something like that, but you had to use 3 things I dont have in my shop... Band Saw, Planer, and wood glue... Other than that, I think Ive got it!
Great vid. Never seen it done like this before. Credit to you. thks
Amazing!
You did a great Job, and the music fits Perfect, thanks for this Video
Thank you very much!
I saw this awhile ago on ThePapa1947 and wondered if I would dare try it. Now that I see you have executed the technique I will have to give it a go. Great job, it is beautiful.
Go for it! Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!
Yes it is very easy to do.
Balaize....! Magnifique 😮
Great work, I found it interesting you used Yorkshire grit after applying the finish. I will have to try that today and see the results. Well Done.
I’m not a huge fan of using lacquer as a finish, but the Yorkshire grit worked very well as a polishing compound. Hope it works well for you as well. Have a good day!
Scott
Flat bottomed bowl, you make the rockin’ world go round
Like some of your other viewers, I too was transfixed watching this. Truly amazing Scott!
Thanks Nick. Hope all is well. Have a great day sir!
Nice to see this being done by others. Looks great.
Thank you very much sir. And thank you for all your inspirational and instructional videos. I hope you have an excellent day.
@@squareandlevel thanks. I love seeing my ideas used. Have you made my vortex sled?
@@ThePapa1947I have not. I did watch the video and it looked very interesting. I’m still relatively new to woodturning and am having a blast with all of the possibilities. I just made a wedgie sled and a segment press today. I think I will try my luck on a segmented piece very soon. Thanks again sir.
@@squareandlevel very cool I hope to see more great looking pieces from you.
Gary
Bravo, a true piece of art and masterclass craftmanship.
Thank you very much. Hope you have a great day!
Perfect job, thank you so much for great video
So nice of you! Thanks for watching.
Very nice! Impressive!
Thank you!
Beautiful piece and interesting process. I’ve only attempted small projects. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you very much
Good work.
I used a similar method to make a large bowl, 16” diameter, with Poplar and Padauk. It was fine until I Started putting on the oil finish, and the Padauk bled so bad into the Poplar that it liked like raw salmon. Learning experience. I bought some African Blackwood and tested it first for the bleed…..ended up pairing it with Purpleheart - turned out fantastic!
What did you use to keep the parting tool straight on the angle cut? I've tried to find a commercial version of something that is shown in the video but haven't had any luck.
@@bradgregory2470 I actually made two identical platters and cut cylindrical rings from each to stack up for the bowl construction. I am left with one 13” disk that I do make angled cuts into with a 1/16” parting tool for a different type of stack-up bowl. I fitted a 2 x 2 block onto my tool rest and cut various angles into it to steady my parting tool for 90, 45, 52 and 60 degree cuts.
man, you could have stoped at a beautiful cutting board, but no, you made an awesome dish :D great work
Thanks so much for the kind words. Hope you have a great day!
Scott
Nice work. I also saw this for the first time on @thepapa1947 channel and want to try it out but I need to get/make a jig to hold the parting tool. I just finished making a bunch of jigs to do my first segmented bowl so this will have to wait a bit. Hopefully my first effort can be as successful as yours!
Thank you! I’m actually making some new jigs at this very moment. This was the easiest thing I’ve made so far. Besides the tool rest it’s very straight forward. Definitely want to try out some different patterns in the future. Thanks for the comment. I hope you have a great day!
Absolutely beautiful
That is sick brother!
Thank you sir!
Your video thumbnail worked. Here I am.
Excelente trabajo, eres un artista, muchas felicidades
Thank you!
Is it wrong that seeing the flat board makes me think of bacon?
Absolutely not! I love the way you think. 🧠 🥓
Depends if you like animals
@@MrCDAJR I love animals! Even the ones I eat.😉
It’s never wrong to think of bacon 🥓
I had a few friends tell me the same thing! Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!
Scott
Pretty cool😊
All right, I admit, this was really cool.
Yes sir. This is wild. Soo wild
Какой молодец, молча, не тараторя всякие глупости на каком-то нелепом диалекте, но под классную музыку, сотворил такую красоту.
Enjoyed the video, I need to make a fixture like you have to guide the parting tool. Well done! The music was spot on for the video! You the musician?
Thank you very much. And no, definitely not me making the music. That talent skip me in my family. Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great day!
Scott
That has become a beautiful bowl, and you have started with elaborated glue up, from which you have turned the rings.
I saw that you use a special tool rest to make the correct angle for the rings. Did you make it yourself?
Thanks! I did make the tool rest. Well…. My neighbor welded it for me. It actually worked perfectly for my needs.
Incredible. I have two questions if I may. When you were piecing it together, did you sand the cuts that you made with the bandsaw? Also, what angle did you use with that jig that you made?
I did not sand any of the pieces before the glue up and I set the tool rest at 45 degrees for first ring. Then 50 and 55 degrees for remaining rings to try to obtain more of a curve to the bowl. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
Scott
Lerda Mercy !!!!
Wow!
Great work! What is that tool at 10:23? Never seen one like it before.
That was my simple woodturning tools simple scraper with a negative rake carbide insert. It really works great. There is an affiliate link in the description for their website and that tool specifically if you would like to check them out. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
Scott
Ok, what was with CA gluing the 2 strips across the back? They seem to disappear once the parting started.
That was my failed attempt at keeping the first large ring from bouncing around on bed. The two strips flew off as soon as I cut thru the ring. I’ll figure out something better next time. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
@@squareandlevel I'm working on a solution for that too, perhaps a plywood backer board affixed to the turning blank with strips of double faced tape so all the rings can be kept in place without stoping the lathe and moving each individual one as they are cut?
@@inspectr1949 that may work. I’d suggest putting a small spacer in close to the center of the “bowl” to bump the plywood backer away from the backside of the rings so it is not touched by the parting tool. I think I am going to go a different direction altogether. I’m thinking of attaching a post to the bed somehow on the opposite side of the cut that will run up slightly behind the board. This would be reusable and could save a little blank prep time and wasted materials. I hope your idea works out well. Have a great day!
Scott
The only thing I dislike about turning, is the amount of waste involved in nearly every project. Even when you glue up offcuts, you still end up with like 60% of what you started with, going into the dust collector.
This has to be one of THE most efficient uses of wood ive ever seen on a lathe, and the results are gorgeous!
I think I need to get me one of those tool rests you're using to hold your parting tool. Could you tell me what I need to search for to find one, please?
Thanks.
Unfortunately I cannot help you with the tool rest. I had that piece of 1” stainless bar stock laying in the scrap metal bucket for years now. My neighbor was kind enough to cut it and weld it for me. Then I just cut a groove in it with an angle grinder the same thickness as my parting tool. It’s far from a “precision” built tool, but did exactly what I needed it to do. I believe the video I linked in the description has step by step instructions of how he made his. I went a different route but basically accomplished the same thing. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!
Scott
He’s still got thumbs?
👏👏👏👏👏
Boa tarde. Quais madeiras foram ultizadas nesse projeto?
Walnut, quilted Maple and Padauk. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
What is the purpose of the strips at the 5:53 mark?
That was my failed attempt at keeping the first ring from bouncing around on the headstock and bed when cut. It didn’t work out as planned. I’ll come up with something better next time. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
Scott
Супер!
Heartstopping stuff! Chewed my nails to the quick worrying he might go too deep and ruin the work of art
I’ve ruined a few. It’s only a piece of wood and there is no better way to learn than by making mistakes. I’m glad this one worked out. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
Beautiful bowl. What was the tool you used at 10:25 (right before sanding starting)?
That was my simple scraper with negative rake insert. There is an affiliate link in the description. Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great day!
@@squareandlevel Ah, I see now, it's a wide carbide cutter. It looked in the video like two round cutters side by side. Thanks!
Yup that’s wild. I may like this style better than segmented. I’ll bet you can get even more creative and cut the glued up flat pieces at another angle to create something even more wild. Hmmmm, maybe a future video.
Absolutely! This was my first try at this and I can definitely see some interesting possibilities. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
@10:24 What tool is that?
Simple scraper from simple woodturning tools. Link in description. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
Man 🎉🇵🇹
i likee
beautiful work but some instructional narration would be really useful
Thank you. Please check the description. There is a link to a step by step tutorial video by the original creator of this piece. This was my first attempt at using this technique and used his method to make this. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Scott
Minimal waste. Well done!
No speaking bad as a silent movie from 1940
Thank you for sharing your opinion. There is a link in the description for a step by step tutorial of this piece from the original creator if you are interested. Hope you have a good day
