The videos are for entertainment only. Woodturning is dangerous. Always seek professional advice and training before using the Lathe or any power tools. If you have any uncertainty before performing any woodturning procedure, stop and learn a safer method. Do not attempt any technique simply because you saw it in one of my videos, I might be doing them wrong!

I like that you refer to the grind as an Irish grind.. 45 years ago I was reading Peter Child who was English and got me thinking about bowl gouge grinding.. Your presentation is very good too ..Your English is wonderful too. I have always used a cactus juice like product.. I guess it’s time to try this.. Years ago I found a vacuum pump at a yard sale and was cheap. I change the oil in in the vacuum pump from time to time and still can go to -27.5 bars.. on these old punky bowls I like urathane as a finish and holds up better over time.. Your hollow form bowl is very pretty too .. Thank you.. ☺️👍

Very nice video, and thanks for the tip about resin thinned with acetone. I will definitely try it. Beautiful hollow vessel as well. If I may offer a design suggestion, on the next one you might consider rounding over the inside and outside edges of the opening to soften the look and blend in better with the nice curves on the rest of the form. Have a great day.

Gorgeous! I have a bunch of heavily spalted and punky beech that I’ll try the resin/acetone coating on. It’s still wet, do you think it’ll need to be (mostly) dry before coating? Generally speaking resin does not like moisture but I’m not sure if this would hold true in this case.

@WOODTURNINGBYBRANDSTRUP 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa, I do the resin /asetone on simi wet too and it works fine, as I remember the most water % I done it with was around 22 or 25 % .. and beech take the mixture in very good .. good luck hope it work out for you and ending up in some beautiful pieces .. have a great day and stay safe 😀

Thank you. How does this use of resin affect the final finish choice?

@WOODTURNINGBYBRANDSTRUP 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Eric, Well you cant go for a oil finish or anything that need to seep down it to the wood, all the pores off the tree is closed and filed op with the resin..so you need to use wax or a lacquer or something that can harden on the outside and dont need to go indside the wood.. the Hampshire Sheen Gloss wax work great on top and leave a good finish in my opinion, and coloring with spirit and water based colour is out too.. hope that answered you question.. else feel free to write again 😀 thank you very much for watching .. stay safe and have a great day 😀😀😀

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the comment and that you spend time to watch my videos .. Most of my bowls ia twice turned, roughed first and then turned when finished. after rough turning I end seal with sealer or the cheapest carpenter glue I can find and then water thinned 30 -50 % water .. and then the bowls go to the Kiln I made. I have a video showing how to make one and use it :-) but it take 3 to 4 weeks to dry a big bowl .. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5qWZrh5qNPGe5s.html .. Have a great day and stay safe 😀😀😀
