Woodturning (Ep. 13) - Huge Hollow Vase
I used a little trick to hollow out this huge, and extremely heavy piece of Poplar. It took me a couple days to get it completely turned and put back together. I then proceeded to work on other projects while this one sat to the side for a couple months drying out. Once the piece was dried, I then proceeded to charr the outside to give the whole piece a more consistent look since you can tell where the seams are when its just raw wood. It's not perfect, but I still love it. Thanks for watching!

Woodturning (Ep. 12) - Massive Live Edge Boxelder Burl
มุมมอง 3.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I know, I didn't core the piece. But I didn't have one, ok! That said, making this piece made me seriously consider getting a coring jig, to which I finally settled on getting the Oneway Easy Core with a couple of knifes. Perhaps I'll have a video out in the future using it as I have some more Boxelder Burls sitting in my garage. Anyways, enjoy the video. I really enjoyed making this piece and ...
Woodturing (Ep. 11) - Old Log, Beautiful Bowl!
มุมมอง 2912 ปีที่แล้ว
This weeks video is something simple. I've had this old piece of White Birch that has been sitting around that had started to looked a little hard for ware. After cutting up the piece and finding it was mostly still all usable, I decided that I was not going to get carried away and just make a simple bowl. The grain in Birch is always so nice to look at, and it generally does itself justice. Th...
Woodturning (Ep. 10) - Huge Rotting Box Elder
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Been a while since my last video. Since then, I have moved to a new home, built a brand new garage / shop, and have upgraded to a new lathe (although its not actually seen in this video as all the turning was done at my old place). My neighbour was taking down a large Box Elder / Maple tree and I managed to lighten his load by taking a bunch of pieces off his hands. This particular piece was fr...
Woodturing (Ep. 9) - 10 Bowls, 2 Days!
มุมมอง 4602 ปีที่แล้ว
I am moving in the next couple of months and I've made it my mission to use up a bunch of wood as to not have to move it again to the new place. I challenged myself to use a few Ash logs laying around and see if I could make quick work of making 10 bowls in just a couple days, which I did no problem - perhaps could have gone a bit quicker if I had a bandsaw (which I actually just added to the s...

My partner found me a whole bunch of Birch freshly cut, just down the street from us. It has some great grain and turns so beautifully. I also decided to put some tiny feet on this piece... hopefully it doesn't go anywhere. I use Tried and True finish if anyone was curious. Also, I'm using the Oneway Hollowing system. Thanks!

Woodturning (Ep. 5) - Log to Live Edge Bowl!
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This past week I made a live edge bowl out of a Box Elder tree my neighbour took down from his yard. I decided to make this for him as a gift for giving me all the wood I could ask for from the big tree. If you look closely in the background of some of the shots you can see some very large pieces I will soon get to work with! I let the bowl stand for a week before I was able to sand it as it wa...
Woodturning (Ep. 4) - Shuo Sugi Ban Squiggle Vase

This week I take a nice piece of Cedar a pal of mine brought to me from his property, and turn it into a vase. I finished it using a traditional Japanese method known as Shuo Sugi Ban, where you use flame to burn the outside of the piece. I do not show it in the video, but in addition to applying oil based polyurethane to the vase, I applied linseed oil and beeswax as well to give the piece a n...

Building a Camera - Pt. 2 - Finished
มุมมอง 11K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This is part 2 (and the final part) of constructing this 20x20" ultra large format field camera. The video takes you through building the body of the camera, which consists of the front standard (where the lens goes), and the rear standard (where the viewfinder and film back go). It also goes through building and attaching the lenses, attaching the bellows, and finally setting the camera up on ...
Wow. Beautiful! Any problems with it warping or cracking in the last year? I have a similar burl and figured I would have to rough turn it, then let it sit a while.
@@matthewenquist Hey Matt, no problems. Just make sure the wall thickness is as even as possible and let dry slowly too!
Why is the front standard that big
Dare you to build a Mirrorless camera out of wood now you have challenged me to build one didn’t know people still make belllows
Very nice piece! How thick are the walls? Looks like about 1/2”. Can you tell me what finish you used? Maybe some day I will reach this level of turning 😅
Thank you Mark! Yeah, they are about 1/2"! I've started using only mineral oil on my work. I find anything with wax tends to yellow it a bit more than I'd like - especially when it comes to Box Elder. Thanks for stopping by!
Lovely!
Where did you get the bellows?
7:27 Oh, hey... I got that lens. Brown Mfg Co 19in f/11
nice shape!
Thanks Martin!
That turned out awesome! 👍🏻 Got me to subscribe! How you like that lathe? I got one a few months ago but still getting use to it! 😊Thank you for sharing!
Bill! Thanks for subbing. Great lathe! I sort of wish they sent it with the bed insert but other than that it’s awesome. Don’t see myself needing another one, ever…!
I was thinking the same thing about the bed insert! It’s a really big step up for me! I was using a home made lathe! Lol Enjoy and be safe!
@@billm4560 happy turning!
Hello from France! I do agree on the comments here: Simply amazing work! My dream… What is the size of this camera? 20x24? Would there be any possibility to buy from you the technical drawing please? I would love building one like this myself in this size and another one for panoramic like 8x20 or so . Thanks a lot
Beautiful!
Thanks Rick!
next time you should try to hollow the whole piece at once
Next time! Thanks for watching.
Love the moire effect from the carved lines.
Heck ya brother!
The Inti cameo!
He likes to make at least one appearance per video!
I usually don’t watch you tube for long videos ( short attention spam) but wow I am mesmerized by the process and the precision of it. Great work!
Thanks Rocio, much appreciated!
My hero honestly
That is so kind Ben Workman.
Oh my word! Majestic! Great job! I have a few logs. I wonder if I can go that size on my Laguna 18/36. Lol! I am amazed by what you have done!
Thanks! I bet you you could! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out.
Holy Moly!
Haha, thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl. Impressive.
Thank you very much!
Binge watching backwards from the most recent. After seeing your last one I thought you were setting up to mount a plywood base , turn it round for a bowl and make and plug for bottom from contrasting wood . But you ended up thinking outside the box
Thanks for commenting! I really like how it turned out, I've seem similar raw pieces used in the same way in the past :)
I have tried turning box elder burl , starts out great , but seems like it doesn't matter if I turn green , or rough turn then dry , or dry for years it will always warp or twist way out of shape . Do you have a way to prevent that ? I have a whole quonset full just waiting, but kind of resigned to waiting till I get a vac stabilizing set up . P.S. I prefer to have the bark side as the base and outside , to keep as much figure as possible Edit . Very nice . If you don't mind me asking where you find the burl. I'm from central Saskatchewan , we have a high runoff in spring and seems to me that on flood plains where the trees get damaged by ice flows , every box elder has some burl
Hey pal! I've only turned boxelder green. I've almost exclusively used burls from the tree and it seems like the crazy grain usually keeps it relatively circular. That said, every piece does warp a little bit while drying! I don't have the patience to wait for it to dry, or do twice turning! Ha ha. I'm located in Alberta and I get most my wood from local arborists that are removing tree within my city. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be more than happy to help! Happy holidays!
What a beautiful undertaking. What is the size and how long did it take?
Hey Garth, thanks for commenting and for your kind words. The bowl at its widest is about 20" and it sits at about 16" tall. It look me a couple days to turn it, and then once it dried out another day sand it and get finish on it! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!
Nice bowl Nicer lathe
Thank you Thank you
Beautiful wood and turning
Thank you Jimmie!
Stunning work. Well done and thanks for sharing
Thank you Pete!
Wau, einfach Spitze 😮sehr schönes Teil. Klasse gemacht Respekt 👏👍💪
Thank you so much!
First off, congratulations on successfully turning a boulder, but I'm curious as to how fast that beast was spinning.
Haha hey Bill. Thanks pal! I started off at around 40-50 rpm and then steadily made it up to max 300rpm as it balanced out a bit and got lighter!
Что это и для чего?
I was surprised to see that you only have 241 views on this video, because it is of such HIGH QUALITY! Great work mate!
Thanks man!
Truly a great piece.
Thank you Bruce!
Dude! In addition to being a spectacular piece, your video was captivating. You may have sold me on the 70-3040 as well. That was truly an impressive display of skill and patience. You should be very proud of your accomplishment.
Hey! Thanks for watching! I am very happy with how it turned out. I actually have another piece (the other half of the log) that could produce something of this scale as well. We'll see :) I have to wait very patiently (over a year!) from the point of purchase to actually receiving the lathe. It was a major upgrade for me but definitely worth it. Buy once cry once! I did look at Robust and Oneway but for the price point this was definitely the best decision for me, and I love it!
I have the little brother to your lathe and was thinking about upgrading. have you had any issues with it so far. Would you recommend?
@@Buttonwoodcrafts Hey Chris. I definitely do recommend it and its an absolute please to use. The price point is just perfect (especially here in Canada). That said, before I even had a chance to use it, I was testing it out once I set it up and the speed controller suddenly stopped working. Luckily it was under warranty and Rikon was able to get me the part quickly, but after waiting almost a year to get it, and after spending the $$ on it, it was defiantly a bit frustrating!
@@AlpineCreativeCompany I had a couple problems with my Rikon too and they resolved the issues eventually but mine sat idle for 4 months waiting for the parts to be shipped. I had the same issue as you on my lathe as well as the shaft on my tale stock got really hard to turn after a while. Looks like they went to a finer thread. Keep an eye on that too! Thank you for the reply back! Cheers,
@@Buttonwoodcrafts good luck with it man! Take care!
I really appreciate your woodworking skills but your camera and ground glass .. plate holders are so over built. I wonder if you’ve ever handled an actual well made large format camera as a reference. All you need to do is make an appointment at a place like George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY if you are in the US .. or the European museums that have camera holdings. You would learn a lot about functional camera design to allow you to whittle some weight off your next project.
I think the same. The woodworking is nicely done as well as the capturing of it. But way too much material was used. And I still don't see how the film holder is light tight when the darkslide is removed. Even if you don't remove it completely, there will be some lightleaks. I'm watching these videos for a couple of months now to find ideas for my own build, but seems to me that nobody's showing this tiny, but important thing, the sealing of the holder when darkslide is not in place.
Built like a tank! Good thing it’s a studio camera!
Beautiful!
Thank you Monica!!
Are there any steps to make it in PDF file format? from the size chart and others, can i request it, i want to make too
Why so big ?
Beautiful!! Well done 👏!!!
Thank you John!! Take care!

Very unique but not wasted wood good job 👍 👏

Ok, very nice Woodworking, but where do you get the Filmmaterial for that Camera?
Hey Andreas, we use Harman Direct Positive Paper made by Ilford.
Wasnt that wet wood? It dried do perfectly. Just beautiful.
Hey Jo - I primarily use wet wood when turning! Thanks for stopping by!

So very beautiful. Thank you for sharing the process of making it.
Thanks so much 😊
You have skillz. I enjoyed this and will be watching the rest.
Thank you Todd. Take care!
That turned out awesome! It might have cost you a new pair of boxers though. I've got a Oneway Stronghold chuck, and I ended up getting the lager jaws for it when I started to turn bigger and heavier pieces. I've also started using a glue block rather than my chuck for the last 6 months and haven't had any problem with that method. Jim Sprague showed me this trick with hot melt glue in an electric fry pan. Dip in your wood block and line it up with the base of the bowl, and I don't think it'll ever come off.
Thanks! I've found for pieces around 12" - 14" that chuck is ok. Definitely user error on this one, not the chucks fault!
Nice job. I had that same lathe for just over a year. Not a bad machine for the money.
Thanks Frank - not a bad lathe, but not the best. Great lathe to get started.
Beautiful Piece and interesting process, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍. Hope you had a good weekend
Thank you very much. Take care!
I like the stripes thats cool I haven't seen that before.
