It’s amazing how a person can take a raw piece of wood and form a gorgeous bowl! I’m very glad I watched your video. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! 😃❤️
Sorry...I ought to have mentioned how wonderfully you made the most of your "unbalanced" elm and to have wished you a happy and prosperous 2021 with many more of your great vids.
Well done, a very nice bowl and a great work. It is very interesting, as you hold the gauge at the back end, because you must save your Hands to the flying, dangerous wings of your bowl. I imagine it to be very difficult, to hold the control about the gauge. It looks like a little bit of a japanese woodturning, only that this woodturners the tool placed very far back. Thank you for showing, and excuse my bad englisch. Many Greatings from northern Germany, please stay care and healthy.
That grain is fantastic. On a side note, I see the bed of your lathe appears to be above your waste, is that a comfort thing? Mine was much lower so I mounted blocks on the legs to raise it a bit but its still lower than yours. Can one get a more accurate cut from having the lathe raised higher?
Question, I'm a retired engineering centre lathe turner, why do all you woodturners feel the need to grip the Jacobs chuck when you're drilling a hole..?? Are the morse tapers in the tailstocks substandard on a wood lathe..?? I've pushed 3 inch diameter drills through steel from the tailstock and wouldn't dare grip the drill for fear of losing my fingers, just asking... superb job by the way...
That's a very good question Allen. I can't speak for anyone else but if I don't hold the chuck it will spin. Maybe we should be asking the lathe manufacturers why! Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi Martin, A stunning bow from a beautiful piece of wood. Great video. Is that the 2030 as I nearly bought one but went for the 1628 instead. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Per usual, fluid and smart workflow with an outstanding result! All ready for Valentine's day. A question: Your left hand well back from the tool rest, the way you learned or do you find it advantageous and if the latter, how so?
