A disc vase is an interesting project that presents many design opportunities and technical challenges. This is the 17th. 4-Ways projects, so be sure to take a look at the three other approaches to designing and making a disc vase.
Tomislav - • Disc Flower Vase With ...
Sam - • Disk-shaped Bud Vase--...
Mike - • Multi Axis Disc Flower...
4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on KZfaq at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.

Yours is the final video of the four that I've watched. Each one of you took a different approach and provided very interesting design ideas as well as demonstrated very useful techniques. I like the narrow shape and large disk on this piece. The figure in that juniper is really quite beautiful. These 4 ways projects really do inspire ideas and show the different approaches different turners take to the same general project. Thanks again to all four of you for doing these videos. It's kind of hard to wrap one's mind around the fact that we are heading into the hottest part of our year while you are heading into the coldest; it's been interesting watching your recent videos where your shop attire has become more adapted to cold weather.

Go for it, but use a thicker blank so you end up with a wider base. This one is now on a small round base so it can't fall over.

After your anouncement, what you are going to do i was wondering how you will drill the hole, i was thinking about how you attach it under the drill press, or if you are trying to do it on a flat surface. or which kind of jig you are going to put together....... 🙂and then you did the whole thing on the lathe, i am a newbie and was really surprised! Well done and a lot to see and learn for me! Thank you very much!

Hello again Richard - Do you prefer a Spindle gouge or Bowl gouge for roughing out and what sizes in millimeters? Phil
@RichardRaffanwoodturning
@RichardRaffanwoodturning 3 күн бұрын
It depends what I'm roughing out and the scale. Since 1970 I’ve used spindle gouges for turning bowl profiles. You don’t need the strength of a deep/fluted bowl gouge working close to the rest, so using a less expensive tool when the cut is close to the rest makes sense, at least to me. You see this in most of my videos, and that I generally use bowl gouges when hollowing bowls. Here I go through my essential tools: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6eqZKmXptrVnXk.html

Hello Richard, forgive me for saying but that seems like a pretty hair brained idea. The thing is inherently unstable and will spend a lot of it's time on it's side. It needs three or four feet to support it no? You made a good stab at it though. Did the juniper have a particular smell?

I couldn't agee more regards the concept, but it's a popular woodturning project and I was happy to rise to Mike's challenge. If I'd had a slightly thicker blank with interesting grain, I can assure you I'd have used it. As it is, this vase now has a small round base and there's no chance of it being knocked or blown over.

I regard cutting a disc with curved faces on any saw as sheer stupidity and an accident waiting to happen. I did consider cutting a flat on the original blank, but that raised a host of other issues including dealing with vibration and aligning the hole. Sanding would be a better solution, but the whole point of the 4-Way series is to show a range of different ways of doing stuff in different situations.
