I think this has got to be my best woodturning piece yet in my short foray into this hobby. In this woodturning video I take this ordinary wood brick and turn it into something stunning on the lathe. What hidden secrets are inside? This really surprised me when I got down to the grain! Let me know what you think.
Also, I am planning a giveaway of an item I make from the sister piece of wood. When we reach 500 subscribers I will be giving the item away to one lucky person who has left a comment in this video and subsequent videos until that time. So, leave your comments, like the video, and subscribe to the channel and we can get that special piece to you as soon as possible!

Ben's Got Wood
A bit about me - my name is Ben and this channel is documenting my very first attempts at woodturning. As a beginner, I'm eager to explore the art of shaping wood into beautiful, functional pieces through the mesmerising process of woodturning.
Through trial and error, I'm learning valuable lessons and gaining insights that will shape my skills. If you are a seasoned woodturner, I'd appreciate any help and guidance along the way - I know I have a lot to learn!

Here are some of my videos so far! - • Woodturning - Shedding...
Thank you for being a part of this incredible experience!
Please note my videos are for entertainment purposes only and are not meant as instructional videos. I am not a professional woodturner and some of the techniques I use are trial and error and probably not correct - in fact I'm surprised I still have all my fingers! I hope you enjoy the videos!

That is beautiful

@BensGotWood 22 дня назад

Thank you - it was definitely a nice surprise to see that grain!

@richardg3232 21 день назад

Nice Piece. Thanks for exposing me to 'True Grit'. Anything that reduces dust is good. Good luck building your channel to 500 and beyond.

@BensGotWood 21 день назад

Thank you. Yes, it really is good stuff, well priced too and lasts a long time.

A very pleasing shape and finish Ben. Well done. A couple of tips I've picked up along the way 1) Hot glue is really handy when making a sacificial tenon, takes about 10 minutes to go off as opposed to overnight. 2) When you do use wood glue for laminating sprinkle a pinch of salt on the glue, it makes the 2 faces grip instead of sliding around. Suggestion for the remaining block, split it down the middle lengthways and glue in a light wood strip to make the block square and bigger. Keep up the good work.

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

Hey. Great tip with the salt in the glue - can definitely see how that would stop the slide! I also love your suggestion of packing the remaining block to make it bigger. Would also make it more interesting! Thank you 🤩

Nice bowl. Keep up the good work.

@BensGotWood 20 дней назад

Thank you, will try 👍🏻😉

@michaelcoslo6497 21 день назад

Yes - the circular carbide is a really nice way to get the inside corners of relatively deep and narrow bowls. It is rotatable. And in the hands of the skilled, it can produce smooth work. Love that bowl!

@BensGotWood 21 день назад

Thank you very much. Yes, I might look at getting a specific hollowing tool as they are good at getting tighter into the corners, but for now this does a good job!

@Mr_Cleaning_Stuff 22 дня назад

I love the look of this bowl. Your skills are definitely improving. Except maybe sizing a tenon 😂

@BensGotWood 22 дня назад

Hahaa, yeah, that was a bit of a nightmare!

@jimsharp9060 21 день назад

I’m just starting to learn turn. I’m always amazed on what you can make out of a square piece of wood. I like this video because you show the mistakes or should I say show your learning curve.

@BensGotWood 21 день назад

Thank you. I make mistakes in ALL my videos 😂 I think it’s important to share them as I’ve received so much advice as a result. Good luck with your journey learning to wood turn - it’s a great hobby.

@tonyb2760 23 дня назад

That is a beautiful piece of wood and a nice looking bowl. Thanks for sharing

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

Thank you for the feedback - really appreciated 👍🏻

@user-wb3rs3op2p 18 дней назад

I am just starting to turn things. Haven't tried doing a bowl yet so enjoy watching others as I am learning much. Thanks.

@BensGotWood 18 дней назад

Thanks for the comment. I learned a lot watching Kent at ‘Turn a Wood Bowl’. Lots of useful information there. I’ve got another video coming in the next few days showing my process for turning a bowl. Keep your eyes peeled 👀

@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound 23 дня назад

Good job turning this block of wood. Good idea to narrow the top outside of the piece. Much nicer shape. With the carbide, make sure you are cutting at or slightly above center. You want the tool to be level to the floor. Angling the cutter to get a finishing cut is a good thing and will help smooth the surface. One correction that really doesn’t matter in the end, I’m pretty sure the glue block you used is either mahogany or sapele, not cherry. Still looks great as the foot though. Over all, well done!

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

Thanks for feedback and the turning advice - much appreciated. I do have some Sapele the same size and shape from the previous video - maybe I got confused. Thanks again 🙏

@theretrogeek2281 23 дня назад

Nice,I’m a beginner too so your journey helps me a lot 😊

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

That’s good to hear, thank you. Hopefully you won’t repeat my silly mistakes 😂

@petereaton5346 5 дней назад

Hi Ben, Just like you I have just got into wood turning, and I have learnt a lot from watching your videos, well mate keep up the good work.

@BensGotWood 4 дня назад

Thank you. How are you getting on with your woodturning?

@oshitt1 21 день назад

Asking a lot, How about a japanese puzzle box? Personally I love challenges. And I never make the same thing twice.

@BensGotWood 21 день назад

I have to admit, I have no idea what one of those is! I will do some research! Thanks for the suggestion.

@JunkMan304 23 дня назад

Make it a lidded coin box.

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

Oooh, OK, I'm liking the sound of that!

@timgooding25 23 дня назад

Re: your comment about finding a better way to hollow deeper, turn the tool rest so that it enters the bowl as you go, or, better still buy a curved bowl rest. It keeps the tool closer to the wood surface.

@BensGotWood 23 дня назад

Nice! Thanks for the tip - will give that a go. Thank you 🙏

Lovely bowl! I think we're about the same distance into our wood turning journey, and you've inspired me to try and get much thinner sides on the bowls I've made so far (I do seem to err on the side of chunky!)

@BensGotWood 18 дней назад

Thank you. I do prefer thinner sides but I have gone a bit too far on occasion and have split the rim and torn bits out. I’d recommend taking very thin cuts as you near the edge and hold the tool light enough that it doesn’t do too much damage but firm enough it doesn’t get thrown about! It’s all good fun learning these things as we go 👍🏻🫣

Good luck with your journey too.
