What a beautiful piece of wood. I have two rules for producing great turnings 1) Start with a great piece of wood. 2) Don't screw it up! Just that easy...LOL

This burl is absolutely incredible! The patterns in it are amazing. I also wanted to thank you for leaving in the part of the video where the bowl flew off of the lathe. As an artist myself, I find that people think that I just produce a piece magically out of thin air without any difficulty. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I could never do that", and because of that mindset, people never try it for themselves. The thing is, even if someone has been honing their craft for a lifetime, mishaps still happen. We're all human, and none of us are perfect. The only failure in mistakes is if you fail to learn from them. So thank you for keeping that bit in your video. I can't wait to see what you do next!

@MikeHolton 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much and I agree completely with what you said. It was a conscious decision from the start to show everything that happens, the good and the bad because this is real life. It is also good to show people that we learn the most when we are faced with problems and by overcoming them we become better at what we do. Thanks as always, Mike 😀

When a poet writes a poem it lives for the reader to soak up the words and unravel the meaning. To seek what it says to them and a guess at understanding what it meant to the author. It is more than the sum of its parts more than letters more than words more than just a story. To me this piece is so complex and beautiful that it probably needs to be touched, appreciated and understood over a significant time. You may have snapped a yellow pencil on it but your poetry shines out from it. Thanks Mike for what you do.

@michaelbirchall2247 8 месяцев назад

That's a stunning bowl! When I was at school I did some turning in woodworking class, the teacher was very good at turning and showed me a technique where you use the chisel at a certain angle while cutting which causes the back of the chisel to make contact with the wood which smoothes and polishes behind the cut, there was no need to sand. Another sanding tip was to use a handful of the sawdust to press against the piece, which does a great job at sanding and polishing.

@MikeHolton 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Michael, the chisel (skew) method works well but not on this shape that is more for spindle turning, the sawdust method is better (burnishing) and I probably should use this method more. Thanks again, Mike

@michaelbirchall2247 8 месяцев назад

@@MikeHolton No worries. Yes the spindle turning makes sense. I was pretty sure you know what I was saying, so was just putting it out there.

Wow, Definitely different. I'm also a cabinet maker and some woods, like teak are quite oily and give you problems with gluing up. If you give it a good wipe with Acetone, and then allow to dry for a few minutes, draws the immediate wax/ oil out to be able to glue. Maybe worth an experiment in the future to reduce your Sanding frustration. Well done Mike.

37:42 I agree with the use of acetone. It seems to dry the surface well enough for glue ups and certainly for sanding and alcohol finishes. I believe the resins will migrate back into the ‘dry’ layer over time. Great project!,

I was a metal working machinist for 35 years. Our cutting tools are always bolted down. I always cringe while watching you wood turners, and wondered if you ever launched your projects, as your free handed turning tools look so dangerous. Thank you for leaving in the flying bowl segment ,(very honest), and very real reality T.V. The bowl looks like an offering plate from my church. Thua trees are used in herbal medicine. They distill the oil from the needles, so it makes since that the wood has a lot of resin in it.

@MrPrime2357 6 месяцев назад

I was doing an internship at a metal workshop and they had a balancing machine - i just remembered all of the little holes in their roof, which was due to the little weights which came of during balancing:D Additionally they had the machine setup in such a way, that if something came loose the workpiece would go through a wall and into an open field. One of the older journeyman actually saw one time the aftermath of a workshop after a big workpiece came loose during the balancing, everything in it´s path was destroyed. Including the wall on the other site:D

I'm thinking I'll be sharpening a little more than normal. I l'm pretty sure your piece dropped because you started thinning the "pyramid" of soft wood that was able to support the pressure applied.
