  • Gary, I have turned several pieces from wood that a friend gave me. A friend of his brings him a few pieces when he goes to New York to visit family. I turned my first Urn from black locust for my daughter-in-law when her brother past. It makes a nice turning, as your piece shows.

It's a full round so I will likely cut it in half to get two bowls. Anyway, great job on yours today! The grain and color in that wood is outstanding and your finish only contributes to that. Good job on the recess removal, too! I have a video on that and used to be adamant about doing that. Then I got old and lazy! LOL! Great job, buddy, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil

  • Great video, Gary. That is a fine-looking bowl. Not going live-edge was the right choice for this bowl. I have done similar with the bottom with my cole jaws. I think the reason some people have a problem leaving marks with their jaws is from using the wrong rubber pegs as well as only using 4 of them instead of all 8. I have used the mortice as a place to leave a maker's mark.

    @qapla@qapla5 ай бұрын

    • Thank you Qapla. I think the mortice works good for signing your name and wood type. I still do that with a tenon by cutting the tenon a little low and then when I remove it I have a slight recess below the bottom. My main thing here is to get rid of the dovetail for the jaws. And not needing to put the cole jaws in. Thanks for watching, Gary

    @GordonRock1@GordonRock15 ай бұрын

    • Thank you very much Gord. For sure the grain is very course looking but it is very tight and you do not notice it when turning. And it sands great.

I’ve been working on bowl shapes and foot sizes myself, and have found a few nice surprises. I still have about 500 pounds of English walnut to process before winter sets in good and proper, so I won’t be at the lathe much for a little while 😊 Cheers, Rick

  • Beautiful bowl, Gary. That is the most interesting wood. I've been trying to emulate Richard Raffan & Tomislav in the way the lovely foot is the chucking point. It's pretty satisfying to use just that much more of the wood in the final piece. But, I have a far weightier matter. IIRC, Black Locust fluoresces. My question is if a UV inhibiting finish would weaken the wood's fluorescing ability? I better get my hands on some and find out. Take care. :)

  • Some novice questions: Is there a reason you chose to turn the the corners off, rather than trim them off with a bandsaw? I know you used shellac-based sanding sealer here. I think I remember you using water-based sealers in other videos. What influences your choice of shellac vs. water? This bowl is beautiful. That grain is just extraordinary!

    @jimbalz3017@jimbalz30175 ай бұрын

    • I was not 100% sure I was going to make it round. So that left an option. Also it turns off about as fast as changing the blade on the bandsaw. I had a fairly wide blade which does not cut a smaller radius all that well. I use both of those sealers and a lot depends on the grain and the color of the wood. Shellac based with add a slight tint to the piece and I like that on this. Thanks for watching Jim! Take care, Gary

  • That is beautiful wood- at least you’re turning skills and made a beautiful bowl. I do have a question. I want you and Mr. Phil and you’re both use that scraper so differently. You seem to kind of go above the center a bit and he stays on Center. Since I’m having such a hard time getting rid of tool marks I think I’m gonna buy one of those negative brake scraper. My question is what is the best way to hold it since I have never used one? I know your directions about the carbides was right on. Advice for negative rate scraper? I wander how to get rid of evidence of a recess - and now I know 😊😊

    @lyndaowen2154@lyndaowen21545 ай бұрын

    • Hi Linda! So the way I grind my scraper it looks like I am above center. But actually I put it right on center both on the outside and the inside. And I hold the tool flat to the world (or the center line of the turning) We both use the same scraper and it came from Penn State Industries. It comes as a standard scraper and you need to grind the top to make it a negative rake. Far less money and works just fine. Take care, Gary www.pennstateind.com/store/LX130.html

I had one 16" bought through grizzly I was turning a large piece had a couple of catches. Using a coring system. And long story short the spindle shaft bent and wasn't running true.. I sent it back they just wanted to replace it.. NOPE... So I'm looking for a better lathe that uses real steel... And not something that bends so easy...
