doubled sale's by adding this feature. In this new woodturning video I tried a new feature that went over good with the customers. I used a tree branch from paper birch and wrapped part of it with colored twine. I used thin CA glue because I ran out of medium, but the medium is easier to work with and less messy. This is an easy woodturning project. it takes about 15 minutes to make and they sold for $15.00 each. I also show a little of how to sharpen a bowl gouge.
I hope you enjoy this new wood turning video. Thanks for watching.

Thank you everyone for tuning in! I just wanted to add that you can use different colors with different types of wood. One of my most popular was a dark wood with regular brown twine. I added it in 2 places. On the neck and near the base. Gave it a rustic look. Also use medium CA glue. I ran out and used thin and it was a bit messy. Thank you all for your support!

...cool addition...think I'll try it on my next pot. And thanks for showing your sharpening station...my sander's base is different, but I'll figure it out... By the way, to double my sales, I cut my projects in half...😉 Matt

Thank you! I just couldn't get myself to buy one of those. So I just made the setup I use.

Fantastic. Really nice. It might be good to have a pack of colored sharpies to touch up any spots on the twine, if needed. As always really nice project. And a nice twist to a vase!!!

Thank you! That's a great idea with the sharpies! Didn't think of that! Always learning.👍👍

Hey Rus, another great video. What a difference a little twine can make. Think I'll give it a try. Until the next one...Dan

Great sharpening setup! Just curious, why don't you use a roughing gouge to clean the bark off before you start the proper turning? That would make your bowl gouge last longer and the need to sharpen it less often. I learnt the hard way to stop turning before the wood gets to the tear-out stage and finish it off with a chisel so there's no hole in the bottom of my work.

@RcWoodturning 3 күн бұрын

I've just always used the bowl gouge. I use minimal tools. It makes sharpening simpler.

I should have asked in my original comment but didn’t think about it until later. Is the colored twine from Amazon?

@RcWoodturning 10 күн бұрын

Yes it is. I can give a link if you like.

Please tell me , as a newbie without any bowl gouge in my arsenal...what should I begin to learn with ? Thank You again for your continued brilliance and taking the time to share and edit.

@@LBrown518 Thank you! I appreciate that! I know a lot of people start with carbide tools. Traditional tools like the bowl gouge require a way to sharpen it. I use a 1/2 bowl gouge 95% of the time. I prefer traditional tools if you have the means of sharpening.
