Woodturning Yew Wormhole Hollow Form
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2019
- After my last attempt at turning a wormhole form, I took it to the next level, both in design and in technique, and I barely managed to bring to a successful finish, but it was done!
This Yew wormhole hollow form took the most I had in tool control and thinking outside the box.

awes bud at least you got there in the end nice to see you back in your shop
Thanks man!! It's good to be in the shop, I have to tell you it took some mental and psychological juggling for me to even go into the shop and clean it and start working on something, my mind wasn't there in the past few months... Now I'll just have to somehow keep it there as well...
Yuval
Great result. Reminds me of a toy called a Diabolo that my kids used to play with when they were young.
Thank you Cliff! I also used to play with a Diabolo, and it reminds me of one as well :)
Yuval
Patience and a steady hand well done👍
Thanks Kevin!! It did make me soil myself a few times in the process... ;)
Yuval
Hi Yuval! Been way too long since I last stopped by. Outstanding achievement to keep such thin form on the lathe to completion. I thought it was all over when you lost such a large piece and was surprised that CA would hold together while the other side was turned. Beautiful form. Well done sir! Looking forward to your next project.
Thank you Gord! It's good to have you back, I hope it wasn't to hard under the mountain!! :) You know me, I don't have that much time to spend in the shop, so when I do, I don't give up on something I'm working on so easily... it takes more then a flying piece to bring me to a stop!!
Yuval
Very nice...the Yew is gorgeous!
Thanks Carol!! Yew is very pretty indeed, I only wish it would be a little more stable when turned that thin... :)
Yuval
Hello Yuval, Well done! It looks good; all curves. The cracks are an inherent part of its character, just like its colours. Celebrate the cracks. Regards, Glenn. :-)
Thank you Glenn!! I don't mind cracks as long as I can do something with them, I don't think they take away from the beauty of the work, and sometimes, when treated well, add to it.
Yuval
VERY cool thing there Yuval, hats off to you for persevering with all the cracks and break! Well done mate! :D
Thanks man!! I like to push through where others quite, it's kind of my moto these days... :)
Yuval
Complete challenge and you certainly conquered it. Thanks for showing Yuval.
Thank you Mike! It's always a good feeling when you set out to do something you've never done before and you pull it off :)
Yuval
Marvelous piece Yuval.
Thanks you Conrad!!
Yuval
Patience, perseverance and experience are what got you through this piece, Yuval. It took all three and you managed the setbacks with style. Great looking piece!
Phil
Thank you Phil! It sure took a lot of them all, but I'm luck that the hardest one, patience, was available to me in the past few days, as life got a little slower at work and at home, or else I wouldn't have been in the mind set to even try...
Yuval
Yuval, you're truly a hero to me.
I never set out to be a hero Mark, but I'll never deny someone calling me one ;) Thanks for leaving a comment!!
Yuval
It was not easy, but you have done it ! I love the wood color.
Turning is a big challenge. Sharing your questionings during the creation process is really interesting.
Thanks a lot Yuval !
Thank you Sylvie!! If we don't challenge ourselves we'll end up just turning bowls, vases and goblets... We need to think out of the box every once in a while... :)
Yuval
very nice work yuval it loos stunning cheers Ian
Thank you Ian!!
Yuval
To say I was on the edge of my seat watching you turn this piece is an understatement Yuval !! The “wood surgeons” hands at work. Worth every second of the twenty minutes.
Regards from the U.K.
Thanks for sharing.
Geof & of course Mrs. Geof
I'm glad I could entertain you Geof!! :) I do like those challenging pieces!
Yuval
Spectacular!
Thank you Jou!
Yuval
Great project Yuval. Loved watching this. Cheers!
Thanks buddy!
Pretty cool, Yuval!
Thanks Rick! Since I have so little time to turn these days, I'm looking for challenges instead of turning the same things all the time... so creativity is key! :)
Yuval
Yuval this is a fantastic piece and the grain is breathtakingly stunning
Thank you Kobie! Yew sure is a pretty wood. I'll be making more things with in the next few days.
Yuval
Pretty cool. I like it a lot. I am going to make one.
Thank you Tom! In case you're making one, and use Facebook, make sure to let me know so I could see the results!!
Yuval
That came out beautiful!! You should be proud!Thank You for sharing with us.
Thanks Steve! I am proud, even if it took the poop out of me!! :)
Yuval
Unique piece 👍🇺🇸
Thank you Cortland!!
Yuval
I'm so glad you finished it up with some handwork. I was so afraid you'd keep at it on the lathe.
Admire your skills and insights how to attack turning such a form. Bravo! Well done !
The original idea was to finish it up on the lathe, but I just couldn't leave it up to chance after all the work I've put into it... :)
Thanks for leaving a comment!
Yuval
Hallo from South Africa. I once used a Jacobs drill chuck to grab a stub. It worked perfectly. I love your videos.
Thank Hennie! I thought about using a Jacobs chuck (I have one for drilling), but I was worried the lack of support for the back plate would mean the inner thin part would snap while I turn.
Yuval
That's an amazing piece. Love the way you went about it. Gorgeous figuring in the wood too. ❤️it. 😀
Thank you Miss T!!
It gave me hell, but I fought back! :)
Yuval
This is outstanding! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Paul
Thank you Paul!! Glad you enjoyed it! It was a long day in the making, and cost me dehydration (35-37 degrees in the shop...) but hey, I've put out some entertainment and art, so worth it!
Yuval
A beautiful precisely turned piece. Well done!
Thank you John! We can all appreciate a personal challenge :)
Yuval
Great work Yuval, it looks awesome
Thank you! It was a lot of "fun" in the making :)
Yuval
When did you change you channel name Paul??! I didn't even know it was you!!
Yuval Lahav Woodturning it was after makers central, wanted a change.
Keep up the great videos
A really beautiful form Yuval and a very enjoyable video mate.
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike!
Yuval
Beautiful grain, fantastic project!
Thanks Christi!
Beatiful!
Thanks you Larsor!

יש לך גישה אמנותית לכל פרוייקט. הכל מחושב עד הרגע האחרון והתוצאה מפליאה. אני אוהב את זה. אם היית מתעסק עם ריהוט מעניין מה היית עושה ואיך היה נראה הריהוט. יש כמה אמנים, חרשי עץ ביוטיוב שאני עוקב אחריהם באדיקות. מהשבוע שעבר גם אחריך. כה לחי יובל. אהבתי
תודה אלי! יבוא יום וישעמם אותי רק לחרוט ואני אתחיל לעשות רהיטים! זה לא נראה לי קשה מדיי לעשות את המעבר... ובתור חובב סגנון יפני, של פשטות של עיצוב לאומת יעילות ופונקציונלית, אתה יכול לנחש מה יהיה הסגנון שלי :)

Hello , as I turn yew myself I wanted to watch that video , wondering what "wormhole hollow form" meant but didn't know more later , anyway , that turned piece of yew is wonderful in itself and a challenge, I'll try to find an appropriate blank without crack , yew is by far my favourite , it grows everywhere in Brittany , thanks for that new idea !
I hope the wormhole (cosmic event, not pest related!!) was clear in the end! :) And I'm glad you found inspiration in my work. I wasn't aware Yew was so prone to cracking when turning it this thin, and I also left the pith right there because it looked so nice and I had to, not thinking for a moment what problems it will create. All the Yew I have was sent to me from friends from the UK, that tree doesn't grow in central Italy as far I know...
Yuval
@@yuvallahav Hello again , I thought " wormhole form" was something else related to , cracking in yew may appear while the whole log is drying , unfortunately , its small pith is no problem , yew grows in western Europe , think of the famous welsh longbow that defeated the French at Agincourt , but soon the English had to import yew staves from the swiss and italian mountains that allow the best slow straight growing ,( I needed weeks in Brittany till I found a more or less appropriate log for my longbow ) happy turning !
Nice job 👍
Thanks!! :)
Yuval
The whiskey/beer/kettle must've helped! That's Beautiful! Hope you stay around and do more stuff.
Thanks Nik! Nothing like a whiskey break to put things into perspective! I have a few days still with no work, so I'll try and put in as much work as I can!!
Yuval
Great job mate, it looks beautiful.
Thanks Andy!! It's building up to something else altogether! :)
Yuval
Nice job! I've been turning wormholes recently as well. Some successes, some failures. It's certainly a challenge.
Next thing I want to try is turn it out of local Oak and use sand blasting to sand through the grain, like the original art piece is.
Another interesting project Yuval. I can't say I'm keen on the final shape but then I might just be weird. I think I'll have a go at one myself and see if the making experience changes my perception. Thanks for making the effort to share your experiment.
Cheers,
Ben
Thanks Ben! Since this, as my last video, were test pieces to learn the process of making this shape (still a lot to perfect), and it's a process I need to get down before I try the real thing I'm working for, it's an important part I can't skip. I hope that once I'm done and doing what I'm planning, it will reveal a better looking piece ;)
Yuval
Amazing ‘thing’! That shouldn’t even be possible to make in wood, awesome job as usual 👍
Nothing is impossible if you have determination and some thin CA... ;) Thanks buddy!!
Yuval
Nice save Yuval, it came out great, even if it was very challenging.
Hey man, if it's not challenging it's not worth doing... I only get a few days every few months to spend in the shop, so I kind of try not to use those up for "mundane" projects... :)
Yuval
Well done my friend! A super job, all told :)
Thanks man, I did my best to entertain!! :)
Yuval
Great job Yuval, a technically difficult piece
Cheers
Jim
Thank you Jim!! Like most stuff I do, it's a prelude to something bigger I'm thinking on, doing it in baby steps...
Yuval
Where there's a will, there's a way🙂 Good job bud!!
Always my moto!! Although like everything, I think it can be improved on, and I'm working on it....
Yuval
You perfected it this time around. Brilliant ! ! ! Ron (in New Zealand)
Thank you Ron! Live an learn is my moto...
Yuval
@@yuvallahav Mine too. I left Facebook 2 or 3 years ago, so I've not been in contact with you since then until now
@@Ron97213 Getting off social media is a dream, but how else will I get all my fake news from?? :)
Cool shape, Yuval! I really like it.
Billy
Thank you Billy!!
Yuval
Very impressive!
Thank you! It took years off my life ;)
Yuval
Well, that one fought you to the end, but you won. Glad to see yo back on You Tube.
Eheheh, if it's not fighting, it's not a live one :) It's good to be back in the shop, even though it's hotter then hell and I got myself properly dehydrated.... :)
Yuval
Yuval Lahav Woodturning . Yeah, I see that Rome is like “Texas in August” this year. Hope it’s not effecting tourism and your business too much. Regards, Gary.
Yuval - your art, work and Technic are inspiration - Kol Hakavod!
Amazing
Thanks Andy!! Every one of these project is stepping stone to learning better processes for creating. Some day soon they will all coalesce into something completely different :)
Yuval
That's really good. The Cole jaws was a super idea.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thank Brendan!! Will you be making an appearance in the meet up in Ireland in 9 days time?! Would to see you again.
Yuval
Unfortunately I won'tbe able to get to the meet-up due to a family medical situation. I'll send you a message on Facebook.
Great project and look even kept some of the spalting
Thanks man! Yeah, the spalting was a nice surprise! I have more of the same log, now to find something interesting to make of it... :)
Yuval
That's a very hard and brittle piece of stock. You have to have a very good touch to turn that form.
Thanks for your time,
Lee
Thanks Lee!! It was harder then I was expected, when I'll do the full size piece (a little different) it will from a wood that takes better to be thinned out like that.
Yuval
NICE!!!
Thanks Jeff!
Yuval
This is amazing Yuval! Yew is very prone to heat checking from sanding on the lathe. Especially when made super thin like this piece. I'm really glad you were able to successfully make the wormhole form. I think it looks really nice.
Thank you Mitch! And there are a few cracks and CA work I kept out in the edit, so I know what you're talking about...
Beautifully worked out Yuval! Think I would have drilled out centre and then made tapered bungs for the head and tailstock ends! Definitely not one for a beginner! Hope you have a great week mate!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Allan!! I don't know how I would have hollowed it out if I would have used tapered bungs, we still need to leave the hollowed out end free of obstructions. I think in a larger scale (which I will tackle soon) there could be others ways to tackle this "problem".
Yuval
Nice video 👍
Thank you Mountain man! :)
Yuval
Hi Yuval, VERY WELL DONE!!! That is fantastic. When it split I thought "not again" but you did a brilliant job in rescuing it. You can't see the join in the finished piece. I'm so glad I found your channel through Jamie at JP Woodwork. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw!! I almost thought of giving up on it when the large piece broke off, but I had too much vested in it to let it go... I think I need to start using gold in the cracks to give them more value, like Japanese pottery :) Next time you comment on JP's video, tell him I said "hi"! ;)
Yuval
@@yuvallahav Really glad you carried on to finish it. Will say hello to JP for you. Cheers Huw
Wonderful and a very impressive learning curve :)
Thank you! I was kind of impatient and wanted to go all out quickly, my shop is too hot these days... :)
Yuval
@@yuvallahav I fully agree - it's like a toater oven in my shop too. All I need is a good marinade before I start a project... :)
Hi! Smiles... love it!
Thank you!!
Yuval
I saw the carving Mr Humphrey made of you and he lead me to your channel..nice channel look forward to checking out all your vids
Thank you!! That was a funky piece of wood carving there, wish I had it myself :) Hope you enjoyed some of the videos, if you managed to watch a few.
Yuval
Great job as ever. one idea might be to put a suitable sized hose clamp around the little pillar before attaching it to the screw to help support and prevent cracking. That said the reversing jaws seem to work well. Nice work .
Thank buddy! a good idea with a hose clamp, wouldn't have thought about that myself... I might even have some small piece of copper pipe in my shop that are exactly the right size to do the job. The beauty of hindsight... :)
Yuval
Cracks and all it is beautiful all the same
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you Russell, very appreciated, both the thumb and the comment!
Yuval
make a pepper grinder next
I'm looking for somewhere I can order some cheap kits from and I would love to make a special looking grinder...
WOW!!!
Thanks Ed!!
Yuval
Since the fail video I've been wondering how you were going to reattempt this. I like that you attempted it again and thought of a better solution for clasping it after flipping. Kol hakavod.
Thanks Eshel! If we don't improve, what are we doing at all?! :)
If it had been me it would have been on the fire long before it was finished .
Great job
Did you ask yourself at any stage of this one"Why did I start THIS" ???
Eheheh, I know what you mean man, and yes, I've asked it every time it cracked on me, but since I'm working on making something different, larger, and this is just a stepping stone to it, I went and pushed through.
Yuval
Nice video, Yuval.
it has become a nice workpiece.
It reminds me of the Diabolo game.
Hm, where you worked with the Dremel. Why did not you clamp it on the faceplate and turn off the tap, nubs?
Yes Gunter!! I've also played with a Diabolo (in my juggling phase)!
I didn't use the Cole jaws on my chuck to hold on to the piece while I worked on it because I didn't think about it. It's actually a very very good idea and I will do it that way the next time.
Yuval
Hello Yuval,
Thanks for the answer.
Smile, you always learn.
Which wood is this
Like the title of the video suggest, it's Yew (mostly found in the UK).
Yuval
Firstly welcome back my friend.Olive would maybe a better wood than Yew? The thing is used for? All in all a master of fine tuning is back Cheers now 🇦🇺.......
Thank you Roger!! Olive would have been better (I know it can turn as thin and more without cracking), but I won't use up the good stuff before I nailed down the technique for doing it right.
Yuval
not an easy piece that one!! but well executed!
Thanks buddy!!
Yuval
In the future soak the wood for this type of form in resin to keep it strong, something like cactus juice wood save alot of heartache for you
That is a very good idea. I've been seeing cactus juice for years (mainly in Capt. Eddie's videos), but I've no idea how to get some of it to Italy (where I'm based). Also, heartbreak is part of creating art, what else would an artist complain about if he didn't have an aching heart? ;)
Yuval
howdy fellow Irishman...... I'm wondering could this be done by using a pen mandrel ? So turn the outside form first as you did, and then mount the piece on the mandrel and work from both sides ? ......
Let's make a couple next week together YAY !!!
good video man, thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy!! We could sure try, I mean, between the drinking and partying and all the activities Leona is finding for us I'm sure we could put some turning in... :)
Yuval
Don't you think that was easier if you have estabilizating wood before?
I wish I could, but alas I have very little time to work in the shop, and needs to use what I have. In this case, Yew, even when dry, is very prone to cracking.
Yuval
Very good Yuval - well done for doing a second piece!!. Have you seen the pieces by Greg Moreton? I am lucky enough to see him do pieces on a club demo - see his page here... www.moreton.co.uk/artist/
I've only just seen the site. His work is really nice!! I need to get on and make some of those!! ;)
Yuval
Tuvalu it is a wonderful piece but you don't sound like your self!
Thanks Billy! You caught me, that wasn't me, that was my wife ;) How different did I sound? I think I'm getting more relaxed talking on videos, maybe that is the difference?
Yuval
If you didn't use the parting tool as a gouge you wouldn't get bits flying off... Use the right chisel for your own safety please.
Well, you can use the parting tool as a gouge with skill enough, but I guess I'm not that skilled :) Now seriously, I work very safe, I'm using sharp tool and face protection and I'm always aware of my surroundings, and above all, I love to experiment, even at the cost of bits flying off. I'm a great believer in learning with our hands, but thank you for your concern!

Irrational use of wood. A good example, transferred 90% to sawdust ...
If you are looking for rationality in Art, you're in the wrong place for it.
Art if for the sake of Art.
