THANK YOU.
I don't know who started the damn fad, but it seems like all of the recent RUclips videos of people making things are sped up to 4x speed and I find those to be unwatchable. It's a way to get a video up when you're too lazy to do video editing, I guess. So when I find an informative, interesting video that's actually watchable, I really appreciate the work that went into it. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching, Christopher.
great looking bowl,rick,thanks for sharing!
Thanks again for watching, Benja.
Outstanding work. Spalted maple is one of my absolute favorite knifemaking handle materials, but I've never seen it look this good. Very well done, Rick!
Thanks much!
Hello from 🇨🇦. I love the way this bowl
turned out. I am a rookie turner and I noticed that you made a beautiful COVE bottom as you called it. I wish you would make a video on how to do that specific part . I TRULY APPRECIATE all that you have done for us Woodturners. I appreciate all the time and effort it takes to put up a video So thank you .
Thank you for your nice comments, Mr. B. I'll take a look at making a video of that cove. In the meantime, you might want to check Mike Waldt's channel (ruclips.net/user/TheCymruBoy) - he has a lot of videos specifically aimed at beginning woodturners, show how to do the basics.
Beautiful bowl. That bug was just ready to get off this ride.
Wow! That is absolutely breath taking! The grain of that spalted maple is pure pleasure to my eyes! You really did an amazing job with the shape and the design to capture as much of that beautiful grain as possible. Great work!
Thank you, Marble Mountain!
Thanks for including the tool terms and describing what you are doing. Beautiful piece of wood. Ps. thx for not having music. love the natural sound that turning brings.
I agree, I'd rather listen to the lathe and the tool work rather than music.
for sure
Great video, and great bowl! Loved the music at the end, too!
Thanks for watching, Ronald.
Rick what a fantastic bowl and the spalted grain is stunning, thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Kobie.
I love cedar but I believe the spalted maple is even more beautiful! Especially in bowls. I have a cedar rocking chair. It was made over size and is almost big enough for two. I love it!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jim. I tried making a rocking once, long ago when I was woodworking instead of woodturning. It didn't turn out so well!
Very nice spalted Rick!
Thanks, EA.
I really like the shape of that bowl I’m going to have to try one I might have to make some tools to do it enjoyed watching
Thank you, Randy. That is one of my favorite bowls.
Beautiful. It's so neat that a fungus can make such beautiful, interesting lines throughout the wood. 👍
Thanks again for watching my videos, Magik.
Excellent video Rick, and a beautiful bowl. The spalting is superb, as is the shape.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you, Mike.
A beautiful bowl Rick. I like waching the sanding because there is something new to learn from each of you.😊 Me best regards, Júlíus
Thank you, Julius.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Donald.
Beautiful bowl - both shape and spalting. I use Ronseal wood hardener on the soft areas when I'm close to finishing as it stops the tear-out. I like the stamp system for marking the piece. Many thanks for your videos. Brian
Thank you, Brian. I’ll look into Ronseal...I haven’t heard of it.
Beautiful bowl. Spalted wood is great. 👍🏻😃
Thanks, Raymond!
Beautiful Bowl Rick Love the spalting.
Thanks, Anthony.
Gorgeous grain. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you, Tim.
Great looking bowl Rick.... thx for putting it up.
Thank you, Doug.
WOW! That is a beautiful piece of wood turned into a beautiful bowl, awesome job Rick, Thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks, Alex.
Love those fungi--thanks for posting.
Yes, fungi can be fun!
You are very talented, you make it look so easy.
Thanks, Kyle!
Hi Rick! I have never before seen such a beautiful spalting in a piece of wood. It was spalted all through and with very evenly spaced lines. It looks like the fungi measured where to make the markings LOL! Very challenging piece my friend, with spalted wood not being really the easiest to turn and with the particular shape you selected with the undercut. But the final piece its a dream! Congratulations! Cheers! Daniel
Thank you, Daniel!
Real nice, Rick, and fun to watch.
Thank you, Bob.
Now that is a lovely bowl, sir !
Thank you, Kuma.
That turned out beautiful Rick.
Thank you, Tim.
Beautiful bowl Rick. All the best, Jim
Thanks, Jim!
very nice looking bowl
Thank you, Dale.
Beautiful bowl, Rick. Love the scraper cam!
Thank you, Stewart.
Just a thought; when I turn Redwood, before I sand it I apply a liberal coat of Watco oil and let it dry. That makes the soft wood as equal to the harder wood and eliminates dips and cupping when sanding.
Thanks for the suggestion!
It is an awesome bowl I live the spalted maple.
Thank you, Kobie.
really nice bowl...good work...I love the spalted works
Thanks, Will!
You certainly do some awesome work. This bowl is gorgeous! I've been woodworking for over 20 years, but just recently added a couple of lathes to my shop (why stop at 1??) and find myself not wanting to do flat work anymore! Keep up the great vids. I definitely appreciate the inspiration and good ideas.
Thank you, Matthew.
Wow this wood is reeaaally awwesome looking! Bowl is a beauty too- a 👍 from myself!
Thank you, Brian!
stunning thanks for sharing... subscribed
Thanks for watching, Grahame.
The spalting is amazing
Thanks for watching my videos, Dave.
Wow Rick you made a very Pretty Bowl
Thank you, Gary.

That's really nice
Thank you, Raymond.

That's awesome! Nice job sir
Thank you, William.
Beautiful piece, my friend!!!

Wow, that looks soo nice. Good job ! ✌
Thank you , Alastair.
omg I am in love with that most beautifull wood I ever saw
Thank you!
Nice Bowl and grain pattern.
Thank you!
Very nice bowl and good job
Thank you, Tomas.
Love love love the spalted maple bowl!!!! Was it sold???
I gave that bowl to the person who gave me the wood for it. Thanks for watching, Bill.
Great project! I like it!
Thank you, Steve.
Nice, I just got some spalted cherry that I hope looks this good.
Thanks for watching, Jim.
EXQUISITE ! A pleasure to watch !
Thanks for watching, David.
Beautiful bowl. I love spalted maple. I would like to know where you got your stamp and how much was it? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Wayne. I had that stamp made a few years ago, and I don’t have a record of the company I got it from. It was a website that let you design your own stamp, and it was only about $20. There are a lot more online sites now that do it, so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting one made. Thanks for watching!
Instead of a circle template made of a solid disc, I keep the square of masonite I cut the disc out of and use it to place the circle where I want it. That way I can see the grain pattern as I move the template around Once I find the pattern I want, then I use the solid disc to locate center.
That sounds like a really good idea, Lawrence. Thanks!
Thanks again RickTurns. The bowl turned out really nice.
Thank you, Woodman!
Another beauty !
Thanks for watching, Husky.
Gorgeous bowl! I want one......
Thank you!
man, that is some nice piece of wood :-). love the pattern on that bowl. so after the finishing the stamp will not come off anymore?
Thank you, Jorgen.
Very nice bowl.
Where can I find the caliper you used. I have searched the net for it and can’t find it.
That is the Tompkins Gage’T Thickness Gauge. Here’s a link to it: www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/87/3730/tompkins-GageT-Thickness-Gauge?term=caliper&term=caliper
Beautiful
Thank you, Paul.
Cool camera, Rick. A recently acquired toy? Your PM has electronic breaking as well. It would be interesting to compare breaking time on both lathes with the same blank.
Hi, Mike. Yes, I just started using it on my last two videos. I didn't realize the Powermatic has breaking on it.
Bravo
Thank you, Costa.

Thanks for commenting!

do you prefer one lathe over the other? If you were to buy just one lathe, which would it be? I have a Tom Lee tool and engineering, about 10" with step pullies. It's great. But..........
I used the Nova Galaxi lathe for about five months. It was on loan to me from Teknatool, to do a review. But I ran into a number of problems with it, most small, but several quite serious, requiring new parts to be shipped from the manufacturer. So I returned the lathe to Teknatool without doing a review. I can't recommend it. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Powermatic 3520b, which is my full size lathe. Thanks for watching and commenting, Mick.
That bowl has athletes foot!
There’s a fungus among us! Thanks for watching, John.
I love it.
Thank you, Sherri.
Words are not enough for this one.
Thanks again!
Hi Rick, I don't know how I missed this video. It's almost two years old! Spalted maple sure is pretty!
BTW, I don't see the DVR lathe in your new videos. Do you still have it? I'm wanting a larger lathe and am trying to gather opinions on the NOVA lathe. Thanks
Hi, Charlie. That Nova lathe was on loan to me by Teknatool to do a review. After using it for five months or so, I returned it to them and declined to do a review. I ran into a number of problems with it, some major, some minor. They replaced the defective parts, but overall, I didn’t feel the lathe was very good. In particular, both the headstock and the tailstock had to be replaced - not good!

nice work
Thanks for watching!
21:35 BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you, Gary.
That's a nice lathe. I am looking to upgrade here sometime. What does one like that run?
It has its good points and its bad points. The manufacturer loaned it to me to do a review in a RUclips video, but after using it for four months or so, I declined to do the review and shipped it back to them. There were enough minor problems that I could not recommend it in my video, and I didn't want to do a luke-warm review. It is priced maybe a thousand dollars less that comparably sized lathes.
Rick, good video. Could you tell me how/who made your signature stamp?
It's been so long, I don't remember what site I got it from. They had an online design tool, which allowed me to create the simple stamp with my initials in the middle and text in an arc around the initials. It didn't cost much, and that was years ago, so it's probably even cheaper now.
Thanks, Rick. I need a cheaper way to brand my work; those custom coins are pretty pricey! Your stamp is just the idea I've been looking for.
super spalting, would be stressful hoping it wasn't left to rot!
Thank you, Chris.
Beautiful piece. I noticed your stamp when you signed your work. Is that just an ink stamp and where did you get it?
Hi, George. It is just an ink stamp but it works quite well. I don't remember where I got it from, but there are a number of web sites that have an online designer, and make it quite easy to make your own stamp.
have ya ever Tried using Cactus Juice to harden the Wood?
That would probably work, Steve, but might be expensive. Thanks for watching!
i notice that most turning videos, the craftsman uses CA glue rather than wood glue. can you explain why?
I think it would be because of the fast drying time. I've seen a lot of videos of woodturners using hot melt glue also.
Rick where is the powermatic?
Hi, Frank. This was turned on a Teknatool DVR lathe that the company loaned me for about six months, to do a review. I ran into so many problems with it that I declined to do the review. I’m only using my Powermatic these days.
How many times did you have to sharpen the scraper for this bowl
It was only 2-3 times. I actually didn't spend all that much time shear-scraping. Maybe 2 minutes total with the scraper. Then I switched to the long-grind bowl gouge to try to get a finer shear-scrape.
Does it make me weird if sanding and finishing is my favorite part?
Sanding, maybe, finishing, no. :-). Thanks for watching , Joe.
Joey, I have bad news......
Rick Where did you purchase your stamp?
Hi, Diane. I had that stamp made five or six years ago, through a website. But I’ve lost the site now. However, there a quite a few sites now that let you design your own stamp, directly via the browser. Thanks for watching.
Rick do you prefer the nova over the pm
That's a tough question! My Powermatic has a 20" swing, while the Galaxi has a 16" swing, so the Powermatic is preferable for turning large bowls. The Powermatic is also built a bit sturdier. However, there is a substantial price difference between the two lathes...the Galaxi is $1500-2000 cheaper than the PM3520b. The Galaxi has some really great features enabled by its software-controlled headstock. If I were purchasing a new lathe today, I'd probably go with the Galaxi. But if I had to choose one of the two lathes to keep in my shop, I'd choose the Powermatic, because of the larger turning capacity.
Would you recommend the Galaxy as a good lathe for a person to buy with little lathe (high-school) experience?
P.S. Great bowl.
Where do you get your stamps from.
It was an online site, but that’s all I can remember, i’m afraid. You could design your stamp right on the page.
The bowl looks great but why would you not core it. A set would have looked nicer ;-)
You're absolutely right! But I don't have any coring equipment. It's too expensive!
Sanding isn’t boring... Drilling is boring
lol... thanks for watching, Alastair.
Please don't dye it red again...
I like red bowls! Thanks for watching, Annchen.
