Turn on closed captions for more details. During my most recent test of RUclipss live stream feature, I started work on making a power carved bowl. This is the continuation of that project - hopefully that explains some of the angles. At some stage I will have a full "101 series" to power carving covering all the tools (and more) used in this video.
Thanks! When it got to carving and sanding the outside, I was regretting the choice of shape because of how it exposed the grain. The difference between the 'hard' and 'softer' grain is pretty noticeable when carving. Almost turned into a ripple bowl instead ;)
Thanks! At this stage I'm thinking potentially 4 videos + intro video * "Intro" covering safety/PPE, workholding, general theory; Then a video per tool/class of tool, with examples of how to use it and a project for each. ie * "foredom/rotary tools" covering dremel/flexshaft tools, burrs, and maybe do a 'spirit in the wood' carving * mini-grinders", covering the mini-carver/mini-turbo plane, * "ball gouge" well.. just the ball gouge for that * "turbo plane" I don't have a chainsaw so I can't do chainsaw carving ;) Any other things you'd like to see?
Can’t think of any at present, but I’m sure your series will invoke new ideas and questions. I’m mainly a turner but already have a number of these tools. Maybe this will be the nudge I need to start using them more. I will definitely be giving that leaf a try very soon. From what I’ve experienced, holding the piece is perhaps the most important and tricky part. Look forward to new ideas on that. Every bowl I turn starts with a chainsaw so I don’t need that anyway.
Though I don't really turn these days, I've been eyeing off WoodCut's "Pro Mount" which lets you use a 4-jaw lathe chuck for carving. Something like that might be even more useful for a turner like you!

2-3 coats of hardwax oil is all thats been used on it. I can't remember exactly what I used, it would have been either Fiddes Hardwax Oil or Osmo Polyx. These days I'd probably use Livos Kunos
@@TheWoodKnight thanks a ton for the response, I use a linseed type blend called Dalys Seafin Teak Oil I like a lot but I'm looking for more options always. I just looked that stuff up, looks great. I'm thinking ordering a clear and a black sample, any recommendations for a 3td or even 4th you couldnt live without? I work primarily with western red cedar and maple, maybe cherry if I get lucky.
I used two - the standard/good cutter was the mini-industrial blade that comes with the mini-carver, from Arbortech. The yellow/not recommended cutter is a King Arthur Tools burr disc. I find it carves too slowly to be useful, I'd look into Saburrtooth's discs instead.
It's a King Arthur Tools burr, it just bolts on like normal discs do on the Mini Grinder, using a brass bushing. On the Mini Carver (the 'next gen' model), the bushing isn't needed from memory. On the mini grinder - it was great. On the mini-carver, I don't tend to use it as much because of the variable speed lets me use sandpaper more effectively to contour (whereas on the mini-grinder it'd just burn)
If it doesn't, you may find "push" rather than "pull" is easier to control. Light passes should be able to be done in either direction, but the type of cutter will also play a part. Carbide burrs like what I was using are unidirectional, as they're basically just big spikes. Something with blades like Arbortechs tools will only cut in one direction.
It's always a little hard to tell when cameras are involved, particularly the first section that was live streamed - adds a bit more pressure. It was probably 2hours carving, an hour sanding. If I was to make a second one, probably would take half, and then a third would be faster again. Part of my problem was I didn't stick to one particular tool (I should have done the majority of the interior with the ball gouge), and I kept changing where the curves are. I'd get it to one point, slow down and finesse... then decide to take another 10mm off!

Awesome work. The shape of the bowl makes the Tassie Oak look real nice! 👍👍👍

Great work Paul and I enjoyed the no talking style video.
Beautiful work. 🤟
Beautiful work Paul, absolutely stunning 😀
Thanks Leo!
That was so incredibly satisfying to watch!
Thanks Dimitri!
Very nice, loven the format very pleasant to watch
That turned out so cool! Awesome idea
Thanks Robin :)
Beautiful! I absolutely love it!
Beautiful shape and great work!
Paul , that's a beautiful bowl 😊
Beautiful piece Paul! 😍👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Absolutely beautiful work! Clever idea with the CC comments too
Looking forward to the 101 series. Great video.

Very nice what's the name of attachment for grinder and where to buy it Thanks
Great project 👍. Can you tell what are the tools and attachments you are using. Thanks
Turn on captions for the tools at each time stamp buuut..

Sweet
Do you have more info on that hardwax oil you use? Is that the only finish you put on? How many coats? Thanks!

Hi nice dish im interested in that round carving cutter on the grinder what is it and where can i get one thanks mark.

Great project Congratulations What type of wood is used ?
Thanks! Its quartersawn Victorian Ash
What yellow carving disc do you have attached to your mini carver? How did you attach it? Did it work well for you? Very nice bowl by the way!
It's a King Arthur Tools burr, it just bolts on like normal discs do on the Mini Grinder, using a brass bushing.
On the Mini Carver (the 'next gen' model), the bushing isn't needed from memory.
On the mini grinder - it was great. On the mini-carver, I don't tend to use it as much because of the variable speed lets me use sandpaper more effectively to contour (whereas on the mini-grinder it'd just burn)
So that's why I have such a hard time controlling my Dremel.. thanks. Not sure if it has a reverse, I'll check next time I need it.
If it doesn't, you may find "push" rather than "pull" is easier to control. Light passes should be able to be done in either direction, but the type of cutter will also play a part.

Where can I purchase such tools?
What are you using to carve it with?
Arbortechs Mini Carver, Arbortechs Ball Gouge, and a Foredom rotary tool for the smaller detail
Nice carve, mate. 👍
How long did that session take?
It's always a little hard to tell when cameras are involved, particularly the first section that was live streamed - adds a bit more pressure.
It was probably 2hours carving, an hour sanding. If I was to make a second one, probably would take half, and then a third would be faster again.

Hahaha, yeah mate, I hear ya. Think we all do that to some degree at some point...
Almost done... Nope, take another few mill off!
thats cheatting paul hehehehhehe come up real nice mate what type of wood is it ?
