You should! This isn’t that much different than making any other bowl or vessel. The only caveat is that cutting the yarn slot with a cheap coping saw could be seriously aggravating. The rigidity of the Knew Concepts coping saw I used for this project made a really big difference. There is a link for the saw in the description box. Thanks for commenting and good luck with your own yarn bowl!
I do not. The large black caliper I use in my videos is from Lee Valley Tools. The other gauge is a shop made version of something called the Gage’T, the real version of which is available from packardwoodworks.com. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice video. I like your arc slot vs the typical coiled opening for the yarn. Question, it looked like when you were using the square carbide cutter to hog out the inside after you drilled with the forsner bit you were cutting above center. I had always understood carbide cutters should be cutting on the center of the wood. Are the cup cutters used on center? Please advise. Thanks, Myles
Thanks for noticing the yarn slot! I don’t think the coil or spiral yarn slot often seen on yarn bowls would hold up when made from wood. There are too many areas of short -and consequently weak- grain. Except for my hollowing cutter(s), the carbide tools I use are the flat bits that are used with a tool shaft that sits flat on the tool rest. I try to use them on center, especially when turning on the outside of a piece. However, when boring out a hole there isn’t enough clearance for the bottom of the tool shaft and it will start rubbing before the carbide bit contacts the wood. When this happens moving the tool rest up enough to allow the carbide cutter to engage the wood before the tool shaft starts to rub, has always worked for me. Once the hole I’m working on is large enough, I’ll lower the tool rest so that the cutter is at least close to center. As for carbide cup cutters, the only one I have is a 7/32” (about 5 mm) cutter for the Jackofsky Hollowing System. When hollowing, I use the tool at whatever angle is grabbing the least. I’m continually amazed how effective that tiny cutter is. Beyond hollowing tools, I haven’t used any of the cup style carbide woodturning tools. Thanks for watching and commenting!
your work is good friend you are very talented at wood lathe. greetings from Indonesia
Thank you and welcome to the channel. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Excellent video. Practical and pleasing to the eye. Well done 👏
Thank you very much! This bowl was a challenge to make and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Very nice, I've been thinking of trying something like that 👍

Très belle réalisation bravo 👍👏🇨🇭
Merci beaucoup, je suis content que vous aimiez la vidéo. Aussi, merci d’avoir commenté.
Do you have a video on that thickness gauge you used?
I do not. The large black caliper I use in my videos is from Lee Valley Tools. The other gauge is a shop made version of something called the Gage’T, the real version of which is available from packardwoodworks.com.
