Beginner Wood Turning Projects - SCRAP WOOD BOWLS
Beginner woodturning bowls that sell very fast at craft shows and farmers markets. These scrap wood bowls have been a great seller for me the last 2 christmas seasons. Even the most begineer, entry level woodturner can make this style of bowl in 20 minutes or less. In this woodturning video I show each of the steps. Most beginner woodturners don't have a chuck, so I made sure to only use a faceplate and hot glue for this easy and fast woodturning project.
Who am I? I am a husband and father. I've spent my life supporting my family with my bare hands as a proud tradesman. I have worked as an electrician most of my life in plants or the oilfield. I have recently turned my hobby into a career and work full time for a custom woodworking shop while still presuing my dream to one day support my family with my own custom woodworking shop. This is me, taking my shot, from my tiny shed shop in east Texas. I'm using my two hands to build a foundation for my family. By purchasing from my store you're not just buying a unique, handcrafted item, you're supporting a craftsman. I'm chasing my dream of creating a self-supporting small business. Your support is making it possible. Thank you!

Woodturning and resin turning are incredibly fun hobbies to get into. As you can see by this video you can definitely get very creative. If it is softer than metal and dry you can most likely cast it in resin and turn it on a wood lathe. If you would like help selecting a wood lathe and the woodturning tools needed to get started wood turning or resin turning please feel free to email me at Bradsworkbench333@gmail.com

Looks Great Jim's wood shop.
I made some like this, drilled 3 or 4 holes in the underside and glued in neodymium magnets and they make superb pin bowls for sewers. The pins stay in the bowl but are easy to pick up when you need one
I just got a new customer wanting two cigar ashtrays / box thing with a coaster for bourbon. Now I know how I’m going to do it thanks for the Inspiration
Thanks for the video. I've turned pens for a while. I'm branching out (no pun intended 😄) into other turned items and am always looking for inspiration.
hey Brad , thanks , great video.... glad I found you
Most Interesting Videos Great Skills #Greatthings #Greatskills
Well, you got a view from me and a thumbs up. Have a good 1.
I apperciate it 👍
Great information.
Great video. Clearly explained too
Hey Brad. Pricing has always been the hardest part for me. That, and my family members stealing everything I make. This is very helpful.
Glad it helped. Pricing is tough for everyone. Theres no one size fits all
Great Video, Brad! Love how you explain everything!
Gotta offer something for what I lack in skill 🤣👍
Those are really cool, Brad! Great video.
Thanks bud. People seem to like them
Thank you.
I might just have to make a few of these!
Do it! 👍
Those are nice, Brad. I don't do turning but it's interesting to see. Bill
Thanks bud
Thanks for making this video, great for beginners!
Thank you for watching 👍 more on the way
Great to see u again
Still here. Next year will be fewer custom orders so I can make more content
@@RatedRWoodturning I am no longer on Instagram....had a issue with something I posted...anyway this whole year has been a shit show....i lost my mom in July....my identy was stolen. Came down with covid in Oct ...i was out of work for 3 n half weeks.some people I know eather passed or lost a love one..
@@LongIslandP8ntball man i'm sorry to hear all that. Its especially hard to lose a parent. Loss of my dad pops into my head at the strangest times. Sometimes life gets so crazy all you can concentrate on is putting one foot in front of the other.
Good idea! A bit easier to turn than my longer ones where you are turning a propeller!
Lol but i bet u get a better breeze
Nice!
Great project ideas! Thanks for the video Brad!
Thank you for comin by to watch
A great project.
Idk if id call it great, but profitable.... definitely lol
Great work and great video
Thank you!
Looks great!!
Thanks doug
Really cool stuff! A friend is giving me a wood lathe and I'm excited to make some stuff!
Awesome! Welcome to the addiction
great tips!
Thanks
Hey Brad, just found your channel. Great piece and a nice selection at the end too! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
dab denatured alcohol on the hot melt glue, let it sit a minute or two, your project pops right off, no chisel needed.
Ive always heard that or acetone. Never think of it when the time comes. Gonna try to do it tho. Great tip!
Hello. On your thumbnail...the middle bowl, do you possibly know what kind of wood that is ? I had a single board of this wood, which looks amazin, and did some things out of it, but I Can't find the species of this beautiful wood. Would be very happy for this information. Thank you
How about putting in a few coins in and a layer of clear epoxy? Thanks for the video. Im a beginner....
A Heat gun softens the hot glue.
Nice! I really like this idea for using up some flat stock, too! How are you liking the Laguna?
Yup, quick and easy. Especially for unique cut offs u cant bring urself to trash. The laguna is a dream to use. So nice not having to fight ur tools
What if you’re a newbie(got my lathe for my 55th birthday February 2023 as the day is August 1, 2023) that prefers to learn how to use the gouges instead of carbide?
Great idea! I need to whip some of these up. I need more $40 and below items. What colored stain was that you used?
Unicorn spit... works surprisingly well.
Perfect. Ive actually been struggling with these why? Because I'm not adding a glue blocks.
Hope this helps. Its surprising to me how well the hot glue holds
How do you finish the bottom?
Just sand with ROS and finish as normal
You’re a tall guy. You should raise your lathe. Put it on blocks so that the spindle center is about the same height as your elbow. Be a bit more comfortable.
Ride the bevel with your carbide tools and roll them over just like traditional tools and there will be no tearout.
I hate carbide tools for shaping products. New turners should learn to use the proper tools right away instead of learning to scarpe the forms of their products.
Great common sense marketing.
I apperciate it
