A turning I've been wanting to try and, while challenging, it turned out great! My Shop Page: / phils-woodshop-1470648... Stephen Ogle's Channel: / stvnogle Mike Waldt's Channel: / thecymruboy
Saw a similar piece of laminated plywood turned by another RU-vidr. Had to be solid lumber core plywood, as there wew no voids and nice grain patterns to finished project. He began by sanding two opposite corners flat, measuring the midpoint of each side of each flat and then drawing lines from each midpoint to opposite corner of flattened triangle. The three lines crossed in the center, and he didn't have to worry about losing friction.to locare the center of the base, remove the small stub and construct it geometrically. Swing a compass from opposite sides with legs set greater than radius. Draw a line through the two intersections of the arcs and your center lies on that line. Do it again and intersection of the two straight lines is your center.
Phil i sit here in Sydney Australia till nearly midnight watching your videos.. You are such an awesome turner and I talk to you as I watch .. Shady Acres Workshop is my favorite channel you inspire me to try new things .. You have such a modest demeaner and I don't think you realize just how good you are my friend .. Cheers from Glenn P.S. We are in our 3rd week of lockdown from this bloody Covid virus...
Such a very kind comment, Glenn, thank you! I'm so glad you are tying new things! Sorry about the lockdown. We are fully open, here, for about the past week. Let's hope it stays that way.
Great job.Love watching you turn.Never disappointed. Like going bgg to turners school.Shame high school was lie this would have never missed a day.Thank you.
Very Interesting way of turning...I love the smell of Oak...This project was an excellent choice and very well executed..I feel as I could do it after watching...I like that you stop a lot & let us all catch up with your progress and concerns...Phil you are not just offering another wood turning video but a small adventure into the unknown, unexplored...This being your first time on this technique....GREAT!!!!!...Another One YES, WITH BUG HOLES...ha....Thank You Phil...tm
Got a square block of cherry, I have had it about three or four years. One day I am going to have to try this. I have watched your video two or three times now.
It's a challenge but, as long as you get it straight in your head (I had a hard time with that) it's really not all that difficult. I hope you give it a try, it was fun to turn! 😊
What a great project, as always your gouge work is brilliant Phil. I have some white oak (reclaimed from a neighbours 60 year old workbench that was falling apart), I may have to give it a go. Just an idea, as you didn't have anything in your tail stock when you cut the tenon, you could have used a long boring drill to put a small hole through the tail and give you a centre point.
This is the only video I have ever watched that had me on the edge like the time I caught a 37lb Flathead catfish on an ultralight rod with 6lb test while standing on a powerplant discharge. In other words my heart was racing from all the variables that could of just ruined this piece in the blink of an eye. I also had White oak piece blow up on me. This was educational and exciting. Thank you.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I am very familiar with terror. You know those types that are blessed with good luck? I'm the polar opposite of that. I had my legs crushed in a industrial accident and have been disabled since I was 33 and I am 48 now. I spend a lot of time with my lathe. I like art forms that are unforgiving and difficult. I do Scrimshaw, draw with ink, wood carving, antler carving, stone carving and really enjoy my lathe. I enjoyed tattooing for 9 years but it's a very ugly work environment and just feel better making bowls. I like projects that take deep concentration because it stops my PTSD in it's tracks. Your video really is an adventure. I'm happy it worked out for you.
Phil, I would never giggle at you because you turn out some beautiful pieces. I am glad I found your channel. Thanks for showing me this 3 corner bowl.
Hay Phil, going over some of your older stuff and love this piece, going to try one myself now, also the first time I've seen your face, face to name. Oh, and sorry I did giggle. 3 HOURS 😲😲😲
Oh, please do try one, Garry. This is a very rewarding turning. I don't know if you've seen the second one I did. It's more casual and proves you don't need to be quite so nit-picky about the set up if you don't want to. Have fun! 😊
You will love the experience, Dale. This is one of my most rewarding turnings and it's still a favorite piece. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil
Hey Phil, wow this is something special, I love this tri bowl, you are definitely right that it catches the eye because it got mine. And even it being a glue up, I think adds to its character. I also love to hear you explain the steps you are taking and your thought process while you are turning, thank you for a great video. 📐💜📐
Thank you for stepping back in time a little, Cathy. This one still amazes me, it's like the three corners appear as if magic has occurred. I need to make another so I can pay attention to exactly how it happens! Phil
That's a cool idea, a couple times from my prospective here on the sofa, I had to blink my brain to make sure I saw what I was seeing. I thought the grain would give you more trouble. Good example of knowing what your tools can do for you, like a surgeon. Good job Dr. Phil.
I'm right there with you, FJ40. To me, it's kind of magical the way it happens. I've done a couple of these and will probably do another, they are fun! 😊
Thank you, James! I really recommend giving this a try. I remember a feeling of invigoration before, during and after this turning. More fun than difficult as long as you take your time. Phil
Thank you, Celestine! You have a discerning eye. Both this and the four legged bowl are in a class by themselves. This one was kinda like magic and I'm still not sure how I did it! I may try again. Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and comment, truly appreciated! Phil
So glad to hear you may try this, Garth. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Just being careful around the corners was the toughest part. Slow and easy and you'll get it done. Thanks for your comment! Phil
Nice Job!!! I have been trying to turn a glue up with Hack Berry wood that is about the same dimensions as yours. I am now on my second blank since one piece of wood broke off while turning and CA glue would not hold it. But, as they say, practice make perfect! Thanks for the informative video.
Phil, Love your coolness on these things that you haven't done before especially the one you have just done, I know its a way back but I'm a newbie to wood turning after retiring from the construction industry and I'm watching so many videos' on turning. Got a nice lathe and a few bits and pieces in my garage, the good lady even brings me a coffee now and again, she probably loves the peace and quit of having me at home, LOL. Great vidioes.
Thank you, Alan! I think the coolness attitude comes from age. You know, "if this kills me, well, I've already lived a long time." LOL! Ok, maybe it comes from practice. Ok, it really comes from being confident in the hold I have on a piece. If I know it's not going to go flying, I can concentrate on getting it done. When I retired, I too spent hours watching videos to learn to turn. It was a long haul but one day everything just clicked. You've got the lathe, you're half-way there! Enjoy those cups of coffee from the good lady. One day they may be one of your favorite memories.
I hope you do, John. As long as you have a cube and do the setup with patience, the actual turning will go very well. It was one of my favorite turnings and I'd like to do another. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! Phil
I wish my "first attempts" turned out as well as this. Well done for presenting a very clear, concise and measured video. You have just got another subscriber.
Hi Phil, I watched your video and Gary’s (ThePapa1947) and decided I’d like to make one. I wasn’t sure I could hold the work in the lathe as you did and I was correct. So I removed the corners so I had flat surfaces for the drive and live centres. It worked out well and I now have a tri-corner bowl about 115mm corner to corner and 70mm high. I started with a piece of mahogany 93x93x94mm.
That’s terrific Phil, I was riding along with you all the way on this one! I’ll give it a try when I get a suitable piece of wood and a bit more ticker.
I've been wanting to try this for quite awhile, Tim, but couldn't come up with a piece that size. Then I noticed it sitting on the shelf! LOL! A lot of fun, I wish you the best on yours. Phil
Phil, Great job! It really did turn out very well indeed. I just got my lathe 2 months ago and I cant wait to try this now. Great channel and keep up the good work.
Phil, that is a very nice bowl, you did a fantastic job. I am new to turning, just getting my lathe set up, I have enjoyed your work, you make it look so easy. Thanks
Hey Phil! Next tri corner bowl, cut your tenon first on the top. That way you can flip it and turn the bottom, I leave the tail stock up till almost done. Then you can mark the center of the bottom tenon for future reference.
Very nice work Phil. It was quite interesting to watch how you started the piece, figuring out which corners to keep and which to get rid of. It was also interesting to see how you handled the tear out. Thanks for sharing. See ya in the next one.
Phil, I'm a new sub, and I am very happy to have come accrossed your channel. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you turn this three pointed vessel, and I also enjoyed the narration of it. It was very imformative and helpful, with you mentioning the speed and type of tools you were using. I will be watching for more new videos from you, and I will also be checking out your previous releases.
Beautiful job, Phil. Your "first time turning" adventures always turn out better than mine but making mistakes is where I really learn. I've glued a four-inch, cherry cube for turning my first, three cornered bowl. We are expecting a ground blizzard tomorrow so I plan to be making chips. Happy New Year to you! Pray for Spring.
I have viewed the video and thought it was a very beautiful piece , I am inspired by a lot of your work mate ( can I call you mate?) Hehehe, I will be following you for ever
I haven't read the comments, and you may have already figured it out, but i am not concerned about the edges, whether uneven from glue-up or from tear-out bc i use my lathe-mounted disc sander to sand the edges, rather than hand sand as you have suggested. It works fine for me so you may want to give it a try.
Yes, I suppose I could use my stationary belt sander to do that. Either method would not get rid of the major tear-out I had until I finally got a clean cut with the gouge, though.
Great job! I’d love to get the finish quality on such hard wood. I turn white oak and it’s so hard I get dust instead of shavings even when I switch to a carbide cutter. Thanks for the inspiration
Hi Phil, I sure love watching your videos and getting more inspired by them to try more different pieces. I’ve turned a few of your pieces in the last week and loved how they turned out. I’m only a beginner but learning a lot even though I had my small mastercraft 37” lathe for the last 15/20 years lol. Keep the videos coming and I’ll sure be watching for more inspiration to keep turning. All the way from trouty a small community in Newfoundland, Canada. 😊👍
