I am using this approach for making my spheres, and so far I love it. It is very easy for me to get the "close to perfect" sphere. I have learned from another woodturner on RUclips, who is using the same math of 0.293D +0.414D +0.293D = 1D for dividing the blank, His channel is "As wood turns" and his name is Alan Starton.
Hi Jim! Thank you, my friend, for the comments. I don't think I have any more space in the cell for apps, ha, ha, ha, ha! I new the ratio by heart, but I wanted to show that it comes from some place. Cheers! Daniel
Hi Brendan! Thank you very much, my dear friend, for watching the video and for telling me about the math. One anecdotal fact, I started doing the math and for some reason was obtaining a value that did not make sense, then I realized than rather than using an octagon circumscribing the circle, I was doing the other way around, lol! I know that most people will not care about the math, but I am curious that way, ha, ha, ha! So, at least I had somebody to pause and check! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Mark! Thank you very much, my friend, for your nice comments. I hope everything is going well in this particular situation, keep yourself and yours healthy! Cheers! Daniel
Hola Daniel, ralmente hermosisimo quedo, un trabajo que aparte de precision que hay que tener, muy bien afiladas las herramientas,gracias x compartir siempre tus lindos trabajos . abrazo
Hola Claudio! Muchas gracias, estimado amigo, por ver el video y por comentar. Sí, el afilado de la herramienta siempre ayuda mucho. Un gran abrazo! Daniel
Thanks for a great tutorial! Have you explained your abrasive paste recipe in your videos? I would like to make my own too, looked very effective. Also, as a beginner wooodturner I haven't realised how using a pencil to paint the uneven areas can guide shaping. Again, thanks!
Thank you very much, my friend, I am glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, indeed, I have a couple of videos were I show how to make the abrasive paste, please find the link below: ruclips.net/video/zufgDTh3fis/видео.html I hope that is useful! Cheers! Daniel
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I do not think I can help you with that one! Must be interesting though! Thank you, my friend, for watching and for the comment! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Daniel, Fantastic sphere. You make it look so easy and I know it is not easy. One day I might give this a go but my skill level is not there yet, so more practice I think. Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw! Thank you, my dear friend, for your nice comments! Just keep practicing, believe me, it makes all the difference. I broke more than a couple of balls before I got to this point! Oops, maybe that was not the way to put it! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Cheers! Daniel
very good ,but not all of us have the mathematics to do it your way, I have made sphere using the plywood template for many years, with good results. I also have a sphere cutting jig, this is also helpful, Keep up the good work, with more simple instruction. turners in the past were not as well educated as today , but made perfect spheres anyway. JB UK all the best.
Hi John! Thank you very much, my dear friend, for your comments. I know that the math can be daunting some times and that is the reason I am exploring many different ways to do spheres. In previous videos, I tried two techniques using silhouettes and the shadow projection and they came out pretty nice. I have used plywood templates in the past and that also works great. The jig is a great option if you have to do really big numbers of spheres, I will probably explore that in the future. Cheers! Daniel
This the best sphere turnihg video I have ever seen. Thank you.
This was a very enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing
Hi Albert! Thank you very much, my friend, for watching the video and leaving a comment! Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers! Daniel
Daniel, excellent job, very good technique to develop the sphere, congratulations.
Hi Javier! Thank you very much, my dear friend! Cheers! Daniel
Bravo!! I love how the sphere turns out! :)
Hola hijo querido! Nice word play! Thank you for your nice comment! Cheers! Daniel
Well presented. Thanks Daniel.

Hi my friend! Thank you for your comments. I know Alan of course and his channel and I am subscribed to his newsletter, great guy! Cheers! Daniel
This is the method I use but i use an app on my iPhone called geometrics to give me the measurements
Cheers

I stopped the video at 3.34 and just enjoyed the elegant mathematics. I loved this video, thank you.
Best Wishes, Brendan.

great lesson and your videos are so well made. I have enjoyed several of them. Thank You Daniel.

Another great explanation Daniel,your results show that it does work👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

You must be a math teacher. Looks great. Now I wonder how they make Crochet balls? LoL
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I do not think I can help you with that one! Must be interesting though! Thank you, my friend, for watching and for the comment! Cheers! Daniel
