Woodturning a Sea Urchin Christmas Ornament
In this video I create a sea urchin Christmas ornament. The top and bottom finials are turned on a lathe. I use the sputnik sea urchin as it has a thicker and more stable shell. The finials are dyed black with India ink to give a better color contrast with the urchin.

    Hey Frank, thank you for the video. Have you had any issues with the rangate loosening or coming back out of any voids you've filled with it? Since it's not an adhesive I just have concerns on how well it will stay in over time.

    • @frankdidomizio
      @frankdidomizio หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good question Tim. I have not used it enough to know, but I wondered the same thing. It is used in the flooring industry quite a bit when they make up wood floor boards that need a quick filler, so I assume it must not loosen up if it is used in this industrial type application. It does bond to the surface of the wood, but not like an adhesive. These days I tend to use the black medium CA glue more often since it is actually an adhesive. I just have to be careful to not leave a black area around the crack that has absorbed the glue

    Hello, curious on why you chose Robust over Oneway. I'm Canadian so I'm worried my bias might influence my judgement because I really like the Oneway. But I am a very novice turner so I don't know much. Great videos BTW, much appreciated.

    • @frankdidomizio
      @frankdidomizio 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the note, at the time I purchased the Robust the US dollar was at a good rate and this was a very slightly used showroom model so I got a bit of a discount as ell. I also liked some of the design features like a movable headstock and a pivot away tailstock. Today, if I was buying a high quality top end lathe, I would be inclined to get the Oneway lathe because at least here in Canada, the price is much less for basically the same capacity/quality of machine. Both are great machines, if I could, I would have one of each 😀

    Hello Frank, it's interesting to see how you process your wood and roughly turn it into shape and then seal the wood, I like that.👍👍 I was quite proud of the cherry logs I recently acquired and cored into rough turned bowls, until I saw what kind of cherry crotch piece you are working with. Cheers, Hans Stay safe and keep turning

      Thanks, yes cherry is always great to work with no matter what the shape is… either log or crotch pieces

    I don’t get any cherry down here in Arizona. Those big crotch pieces are going to be really nice. I’m looking forward to seeing them.

      Thanks Jim, yes, cherry is one of my favorites, but there's lots of nice wood in your area I am sure. I am going to finish up the smaller apple crotches first, while the cherry dries out, hopefully witout any cracks

    What is the diameter of the heart-shaped and the weight that it was starting the turning?

    • @frankdidomizio
      @frankdidomizio 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the note. It's in the kiln now, but I would say the dia is around 20" I think. As for starting weight, I would just have to guess something like 30 lbs or more. I don't really weight pieces like that, so this is just a guess.

    Hi frank would it help to cut in a recess into the front of the bowl before coring this would then let you work on the bottom to cut you tendon or recess. Lovely work some fantastic bowls👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 or did you do this and I missed it

    • @frankdidomizio
      @frankdidomizio 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks, yes, good idea for a solid core, but most of my cores are multiple cores so there is no front part/top of bowl to put a recess or tenon on the front. I just use a jam chuck when the piece is dry and it works well to true up a bottom tenon or to put one on if there is not one there already.

    Great work, I’d like to try some stuff this size but my current lathe a union graduate gives me 10 inch over bed on the bowl turning side . Im looking into a floor standing tool rest. Good work I like your style of turning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

      Thanks for the nice comments, yes 10" over the bed is ok for smaller burls, but often they have wings which require an even larger swing.
