Organ Bowl - Wood turning an organ into a bowl
Welcome back! In this video I'll be taking the wood from a 1907 organ and turning it into a bowl. Probably the first organ you'll see in a wood turning video being cast in epoxy and turned into a bowl. But leave it to me to come up with a project that ends up kicking my butt fighting me all the way lol.
This organ came from my aunt and uncle as a project for the lathe. When i removed the mirror there was a newspaper article from 1907 behind it and the mirror was stamped and dated to 1907. The wood was mostly black walnut.
I had to cut it into sections, plane and glue it up into a massive block. The keys are cast in Alumilite clear slow. And I learned that clear slow does not like CA glue. Was talking to my bud SocoJoco about the failed casting, in which he had the same issue with CA glue. When I recast it, I used hot glue with no issues. I finished it with Danish oil sanded to 1000, buffed with tripoli then white diamond. I didn't want to make it super glossy or finish it with something where you couldn't feel the wood.
Pretty stoked about this one and they just loved it. I couldn't make them a regular bowl out of such a unique and old organ. So I turned it into something that would be around as an aireloom for another 100 plus years.
Thanks for watching!

The Eye Bowl - Epoxy Resin Projects

Welcome back! In this video i'm whipping another of my epoxy resin projects. Many projects in the works and on paper, some with epoxy resin some not. Just getting around to doing them is another thing lol. But these epoxy resin bowls are pretty cool to do for projects in the shop. Never really know how they will turn out. Just have to let the universe decide I suppose. This is made from mostly ...

Making a wood bowl - wood turning black walnut

Welcome back! In this video i'll be twice turning a wood bowl from a walnut tree. I took this tree down from my property since the tree had a nasty rot spot in the wood. Some of it has been made into bowls, hollow forms, beard combs, chalices and more. Walnut wood is one of my favorites to work with, something about the earthy smell. Kinda like leather and tobacco, just a warm comfortable aroma...
The Broken Bowl Failure - Woodturning Fails

Welcome back! Soo this failure of an accident made me step away for a minute! This is a twice turned blank of spalted dogwood that was harvested from my property after it had fallen in the woods for some time. Luckily the root ball came up with it, and had some burling in it.

It has a bit of a bark inclusion that I wanted to incorporate into it. I've had good luck with cherry wood, but it really depends on when the wood is harvested.

Willow Wood Bowl - Woodturning
มุมมอง 459ปีที่แล้ว
Welcome back! This is just a short video on turning some willow wood into a wood bowl. Willow wood is very light. A little warning if you get any wet, let it sit outside for a day or two. You'll thank me later lol. The wood loves to suck up water as willow trees love wet areas. It has a sour smell and oozes the water out, making a mess, a big one. Looked like someone poured salt on a giant slug...

    DON'T BOTHER with anything BUT DEFT! IT WILL LAST, it WILL NOT YELLOW! i have used it FOR YEARS and i guarantee it IS the real deal! I had proprietary lacquer made by a very professional paint company specifically mixed for my art work( that includes wood) and even as I thought this "special chemically designed" lacquer was going to give me an "EDGE" in my art sales and getting into galleries -- it really DIDN'T turn out better than DEFT--- one thing my "specialty lacquer" did was; I was able to use LESS COATS, but- for the time and expense--- it was NOT better than DEFT! So, I am back to DEFT, hopefully this gives you some feedback as to the quality ---don't forget to use a FULL MASK, protect your lungs!

  • @charlesbajnai4530
    @charlesbajnai4530 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was inspired by your rich looking bowl. I took it one step further: after dye, I applied a coat of sanding sealer, and then applied JoSonja iridescent paint on top of the dye in little "splotches" in the bottom of the bowl and around the edges, to create the "BIG BANG" artistic look. Followed it with 20 coats of gloss lacquer. Fantastic.

    • @EppsCreations
      @EppsCreations 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice! I’ve seen some interesting things done with the iridescence. The string method is pretty cool also. I red dyed a willow hollow form and used some crumpled Saran Wrap to dap it on a while back.
