Turning the BEAST! - Woodturning a very challenging oak burl

Some pieces of wood scream potential, and this one screamed so loud it nearly left my lathe in pieces. This Beastly Oak Burl, packed with imperfections and promise, was a real challenge, and only you can be the judge on whether I failed or not. A real woodturning challenge.

Very nice work, Mike. I started turning in 1978 or 9. At that point in time, in my area, guys wore safety glasses, and that was it, not even dust masks and no dust collection system. Around 5 years ago, I finally started wearing a dust mask the whole time I'm turning, not just when I am sanding. I have a large dust collection system, so I never saw the need. A few months ago, my mom and my wife got together and bought me a Laguna revo 1836evs with a 2 hp motor. Now, at last, because of the power this lathe has, I am wearing a face shield while turning and sanding. It threw a 30 plus pound chunk of wood across my shop when a tenon failed and that made a big impression on me. I feel that anyone watching your channel should be able to see the ppe you are utilizing. I do not like the safety police. Your safety should be your concern not anyone else's. We are not working in a factory setting where codes and standards must be met. Most of us who have been turning for a long time have been very slow to integrate ppe into our turning. That's our fault or privilege. I think it is great that you newer turners are much more concerned with your personal safty. Thank you for being a good example to the long time turners and the newer turners. This old cooter thinks you do a very nice job with your channel Mike.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much my friend, I do care about safety and as an 'influencer' (I hate that term) I want to try and be a good example for those people who follow me. 😀

@BrianThorn-Arizona 2 месяца назад

I vote for a full safety video. I think even if you've been turning forever it doesn't hurt to have a reminder. Industry does it, the military does it, retail and restaurants do it, and we should too. Cool bowl by the way.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks Brian, appreciate the feedback! 😀

@user-zc4lf3iq5m 2 месяца назад

Yes please - full safety video

@LoisHubbard 2 месяца назад

This bowl is wonderful and I think it's final shape tells a story. I'm a H&S professional and I'm always worried about my favourite turners safety so very glad to see you're sharing the knowledge from that perspective too!

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks Louis, I have learned a lot working with JSP and will be passing it all on 😀

@peterthornton8520 2 месяца назад

What saved the bowl for me is the incredible Grain which is displayed. I also think the chip flying of was a blessing in disguise as it transformed the bowl into something a bit more unique than what might have been the original end result. Nice work, Nice Bowl.

Thanks Dave, it's the best way when working with wood, these things happen and there is nothing you can do about it, so embrace it and adapt 😀

@mattgraham4025 2 месяца назад

Wow! Amazing! It was a bold decision to cut the spiral shape into the wings. I thought I would hate it, but it turned out great!

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks Matt 😁

@ferolcat2009 2 месяца назад

I would of liked that chipped piece to have been glued back on but, once you finished the piece, that dent adds character to the finished bowl. It is a work of art, unique and I love it as is. I support you doing a H & S vid as well.

@Angela-en6oh 2 месяца назад

Hello Mike, I think you have a new fan - my dog! She heard your dog barking, came over and stayed for the rest of the video. I think she has good taste! And the bowl is really lovely. I thought it had a real “60’s” look in the shaping you gave it. I suspect you are far too young to remember The Jetsons, but that’s what the shape reminded me of; that futuristic space vision that we were all going to be living in the next century! 🤔 As always, I hope you have a good week and I will look forward to your next “space adventure”.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Haha thanks Angela, of course I remember the Jetsons, I was born in 69 lol. Hope you have a good week as well, Mike 🙂

@codymccormick3593 2 месяца назад

The wood decided. Very nice piece Mike. At this time last year, I was effectively blind, cataracts. All my life I've done things that require various levels of protection: woodwork, welding, motorcycles, firearms... The list is long. After getting my vision back, I realized I wasn't always as safe as I should have been. I have the same face shield you were using before. I upgraded months ago. A safety video is a good idea. As a biker, I believe in ATGATT; all the gear all the time. Good luck, mate.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks Cody, I have always tried to be safe but after talking to the experts at JSP I will be changing some of my procedures and will of course be letting everyone. All the best and so glad you can see again! All the best, Mike

@peterloos8027 2 месяца назад

I love the wood, the different grains are beautifull and the finishing wax gives it a kind of a golden glow… but the shape of the bowl…. I think I would have liked the bigger wings on itmorebutas you mentioned; safety first, always!!! And tips, productreviews and your real opinion on these things are very welcome during the regular video’s. Thanks again Mike for inspiring me to keep practicing and trying new things.

@racheldray1057 2 месяца назад

I love burl when it's mixed with the normal grain. It makes it stand out more. The spiral wings really appealed to me, more so than square. It was a good decision. That crack was terrifying. I thought the dancing lathe very entertaining.

Haha sorry, I'll try harder next time lol 😂

@RoyWCanada 2 месяца назад

Hi Mike, this was a good example of why to have good safety equipment like your face shield. Especially when you have pieces breaking off during turning. This was a great looking bowl with exceptional burl and featured grain. The finish emphasised the beauty of the wood and shows of you excellent turning skills. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Im glad that you dodged the wood bullet! I love that unusual, creative, and beautiful bowl. The wood tells a story, and now you have a story about the wood! A dedicated RU-vid safety tips video might become a must see for new and old wood turners alike. As always, great work Mike. 👍🏻 Oh, sand bags across the legs, with a set of (at least two) locking wheels. That way it’s still portable, without bolting it to the floor.

Thanks! I have had so many requests for bot I think I'll do just that. One video to use as reference and one reminders in videos where appropriate 😀

@dirkthrust2069 2 месяца назад

I wasn’t feeling the wing on that bowl until you went with the spiral - great idea, always impressed with the way you can ‘see’ something like that in the wood, such a shame it broke a little, but well saved. I’m also getting some serious workshop envy now !

@tomburns7544 2 месяца назад

I think that spiral solution was brilliant! I was a tad doubtful when you first described it but it turned out extremely beautiful! As for PPE, I think a dedicated video would be great so people (newbies as well as experienced turners) could refer back to it using the search function. I also think any new topic regarding safety you discover as time goes on would be great to hear and you could just mention the dedicated PPE at the same time. Thanks for another beautiful piece and entertaining vid, Mike!

Thank you very much Derek and will will be showing both those things! 😀

@davidbaxter5132 2 месяца назад

As always, I appreciate your design skills and your ability to take 'design opportunities' as they arise! Another lovely bowl (of course!) As to safety tips/ PPE, I think a bespoke video of what you have learned from/ with JSP would be very useful; like many, I am sure, I have probably forgotten far too much/ have developed bad habits and, in any event, everyone can benefit from relevant reminders; on which point, the 'as and when it arises' approach in all videos would not go amiss. Keep up the good work, Mike, every day is a learning day, however experienced (or not!) one is, and you have such a wonderful delivery and approach to turning, in no time the 'safety tips' will be blending in with the turning.

You did a really nice job maximizing the beautiful burl grain of the bowl, Mike. The spiral wing was an interesting choice. I like watching you try new things! I do appreciate you testing and highlighting new PPE options. I personally like seeing them integrated into your video while you are working, which highlights why they are important; for example having the extended face shield on when the wing tip flew off!

A very Oak burl Mike but it did have some slightly concerning cracks in it that you were rightly concerned about. I love the way you plan out what you are doing on a piece like this. It was unfortunate that the piece slit off as you were turning but I think you were able 'look beyond it' & move on. The finished piece is quite beautiful, you did not fail, you triumphed & are to be commended for that. Cheers mate, Don from South Australia.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much Dom, this was challenging but also an awful lot of fun 😀
