The Radial Radial Feature Ring Wood Turning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2024
- This was lots of un to make. Started out the way you make a chevron feature ring.
Then it was setup to cut segments. Because needed to match all the strips of wood at the joints it took precise setup and cutting.
Very happy with the results.
Finished with Minwax Water Based Sanding Sealer and Minwax Polycyrlic.
I then use Ack's Abrasive Sanding Paste. I was able to try the new Polish Paste which has double the Carnauba Wax. It worked great.
Tools used: Robert Sorby bowl gouges. Benjamin Best negative rake scraper.

I love creations from scraps! Trees are living creatures, wasting wood is a shame, and designs like that one are way pretier than solid pieces!!
i agree it is a great way to make something from hard to find wood.
So friends of ours had to have a Walnut tree cut down because it was dying and becoming unsafe. They were very happy I took all the wood and am making things from it. The other option was it was going to be firewood. The big chunks I do get to turned are destined to be burned and I feel I am saving them from that. Just my thoughts on it.
We have a tree in the back yard full of burls and I would never cut it down just to turn them.
Thanks for watching,

That is such beutiful reasoning!!
I never fail to learn something on your site! TNX for a great experience
Thank you Walt and thanks for watching and commenting.

Papa,
BEAUTIFUL!
Keep the aspidistra flying!

Thank you very much Paul and God bless you as well.
Take care,

Of course I like the bowl! Of course Ill give a thumbs up! 👍 more than 1 if I could! I cant keep my mouth shut, so, im gonna comment! I would never be able to do one of these segmented pieces, because even though I know that all the angles have to add up to 360 to make them work, it still escapes me how to turn them, do the glue-up have it all come together, AND look AMAZING! Ok. Im just going to let you do them, Ill watch, and everybody's happy! You and Phil....you guys give me my amazement fix every week. Thank you both! 😊❤👍
Thanks so much Dave. The third step I did in this one had be thinking about it all going wrong. But I relay on my drawings to confirm it will work. As long as the all the other steps are right.
In case you have not noticed this and coffee keeps me going.
Take care,
Gary
A really impressive work. Your ability to resolve problems and to share with others is generous. Once I'm happy with my home referd. Then I'll be back in my 8x11 shed and sort out my 14" band saw, 8x5" planer thicknesser, burnish the round bars on my lathe, check out the exstraction. By that time I will be in a position to see if our extraordinary government has left me sufficient money to buy wood. Fingers crossed and smile. It helps to keep you sane. Thanks again for your generousity. Ron.
Thank you very much Ron. Now you have me curious to where you like.
Best of luck,
Gary
Gorgeous, really really beautiful, great job, Gary,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much Gao. Happy you liked it
Take care

8:34 gorgeous 3d effect from that camera & lighting angle. Could almost assume it was non planar. Well Gary, another triumph!
Thank you Ray, I noticed the 3D effect as well. It was all about how the grain met at the glue joints.
Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
All I can say is you are an "ARTIST". Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Thank you very much Robert. Much appreciated.
Gary
...yep...that turned out amazing...not thinking, I imagined you'd round off the edge, but I'm glad you didn't...it adds character to the piece. And I really liked the use of the duct tape...I need to remember that idea. Well done!...👍
Thank you very much. Yes I like the scalloped edges a lot.
So I think it would have been really hard to line things up without the tape. And something like this I like to have all the pieces glued at once. Other wise 2 halves can be an issue with fitting together. Since I knew they would all fit that was the only option for me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love it, I bet your wife has the greatest bowl collection in your area of the nation,keep up the great work!
Thank you Cary. Yes we talked about that the other day and she does get first pick before I give any away.

Awesome! Please keep it up!
Thank you Thomas I plan on it. Thanks for watching,

I just don't know how you even conceive of these pieces, Gary but I'm glad you do! Your enthusiasm for this piece, from conception, to cutting to assembly and finally to turning and finishing, comes through in abundance! You are a like a kid in a candy store and I love it! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊
Phil
Thank you Phil. Well I spend hours of unseen work on my computer working all the details out. By the time I start cutting wood it is in my mind. Now I have to remember what is in there LOL.
Seriously when each step works out I do feel great and I am sure it shows.
Kind of like when I get an extra scoop of ice-cream.
I was coughing and hacking with a cold coming so I think the next few videos will be on the simple side of things.
Take care,

I really like the points on the round bowl. It makes a great contrast that is very attractive.
I'm still trying to catch up with all of your videos.
Thank you Dana. When I glued it up I just could not turn them off. Happy you liked it this way.
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
I like your setup for holding the rings when you cut them. This project had me smiling all the way. Cut and glue, cut and glue. Excellent outcome and a wonderful design. A very eye catching bowl.
Thanks Ray. Oh yeah lots of cut and glue for sure. I had a lot of fun going from one step to the next. Especially when seeing that things were going the say I wanted.
Happy you enjoyed the video!

And I still love using it.
Take care,

Thank You Gary.. After your first cut (the scrap piece) I was wondering if in the future will you combine all into a "crazy quilt" ? ... This was a fun one Gary and the finished piece is wonderful. .. Great ring protecting device ! ... Gary you are so wonderfully honest showing all your techniques/secrets/procedures for your extravagant turnings. I was thinking perhaps just once to show an elaborate finished turning as a "mystery turning" ? Who can guess how ? Than show in the next episode and give us a week to think about it, HA. .. Each time you do one of these I think "how will you top this one" but you always seem to come up with something newer... Until next time ... TM
Thank you TM! I like your idea on the mystery turning. I may have to do that as I find myself with so many things going on it is hard to get the editing done. This would be a brilliant way to do it.
Now just to figure out something for that mystery LOL.
Take care,
Gary

Thank you very much Gord. I guess I should watch that video I did not realize all that fun was showing. Phil even brought that up.
But for sure I had a lots of fun on this one from the first concept of it to the end. I spent hours tweaking it going from 9 segments to 11 and 12. All of them changed the scalloped edge and some took it away.
Next week will be way different but still fun for me.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
I love this piece. And as a bonus, the remaining pieces create a second stunning piece. Thanks for sharing this and giving me new ideas to try.
Thank you Larry and I do use those pieces and have a video on them. If I would have known I was going to use them I may have cut them just a little different but I still turned out nice.

Thank you very much Tom. I really do like how the new polishing paste works.

Tom, the carnuba looks fantastic. Should be a much harder finish too. Now, I find myself considering the adding of one fresh wheel to my Beale system, just to use your new formula!
@@valeriehenschel1590 Thanks Val, the paste is a bit stiffer becasue of the double carnuba, , but it works.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!!

Вот это КРАСОТА! Я восхищён, мастер молодец! ЗОЛОТЫЕ руки!
Николай, большое спасибо, я ценю ваш комментарий и спасибо за просмотр,
Гэри
Гэри ты просто МАСТЕР! Я в восторге от того что ты такую КРАСОТУ делаешь! Хорошо что я подписан на твой канал, и ни какое КИНО не нужно, твоё видео просто СУПЕР! Удачи тебе во всём!!!!!!
The bowl-from-a-board technique works perfectly here. I have gone to using a tilted bandsaw table and cutting half-rings utilizing a jig. The upside is that the saw kerf is only the width of the 1/4" blade. You do have to glue the two half-rings together. Minimizing the saw kerf is important, since the amount of overlap you end up with is: overlap = thickness of the board x Cosine (angle of the bowl from the horizontal) - saw kerf. So the steeper the angle of the bowl and the wider the saw kerf, the less overlap you have. Your pattern is beautiful, too!
Thank you Anduril. I used to do it on a bandsaw as well. I just did not like gluing them together in halves. My bandsaw blades are around .04" thick. My parting tool is .062 thick. Not all that much different. At least not enough to make a difference on how I do them. The other think I do is measure the bottom of the one I just cut. i use that diameter to mark out the next ring. So the insides always line up with no step.
Lots of ways to do it and what ever works is what a person should use.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’m sure you’ve seen some of Michael Mode’s bowls that have an angle of 65 degrees or more. You can tell that he understands the math of this situation since his layers are so thick at this steep angle.
Lining the next ring up with the last one is a trick
You scored another hit Gary. Absolutely eautiful.
Thank you Richard. I was hoping it would be liked and it seems it is.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful job. Such a nice way to use up all those scrap pieces! Never throw anything away!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tim. I have a box full of pieces I have not tossed. Sometimes when I do a fancy feature ring I make enough pieces for 2.
When I have many setups to make them it is worth it. This one was a real bonus that was not even planned.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
so pretty
grambear8, thank you very much and thanks for watching,

Beautiful! I'm a quilter, and pieces like this are sorta "quilting with wood!"
Thank you Leslie. Have you seen my video The Great Illusion?
I got that idea from a Ruth Ann Berry quilting book. I do not have the book by I saw the picture. I admire what quilters do and would love to see what you have made.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I have seen The Great Illusion, and of course I loved it! I hope you'll do more "quiltish" pieces!
Wow, I started to try and duplicate this and then I realized that there is some serious math calculations involved in order for it to look symmetrical! You make it look a lot easier than it really is. I have even more respect for your skills. Now i need to figure out what to do with the board I have laminated up. The radial, radial part of this is making my head spin….lol
Thank you Rick. I will try to explain it so your head is not spinning LOL
First cut for the chevron was 30 degrees.
Then after 4 of those are glued it is an 18 degree cut
Flipped around we then do a 30 degree cut.
Now I have made a wedge of 18 degrees and that went against the fence so both sides would have the fence set the same.
Hope that helps a little.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary I think you meant flipped around you do a 36 degree cut because there are 10 wedges on the circle. My big issue was how to get the 18 degree cut to go from the middle point to the bottom tail to keep the symmetry. This is a function between board width and the width of each “3/4 inch” slice. This is the math that was making my head hurt. Extra coffee did not help….lol. I cut a scrap piece of wood the same width of my laminated board and I will adjust the width of each “3/4 inch” to slightly more or less until the 18 degree angle lines up from center point to bottom tail. Now I am ordering a digital protractor and making a angle cutting sled. Wood turning is such a cheap hobby….🤣🤣
Hi Gary,
another amazing project. I save them all
and them as my treasure.
Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks Uwe, we keep almost of them here as well.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Thank you!
Beautiful piece, Gary. I will have to try that. Well done and thanks. Like the scalped edge too.
Thank you very much Malcolm. Let me know how it goes.
Gary
Lovely Gary! I really like the pie crust edge. That must have been a brute to sand and finish. Very beautiful design. Thanks for that! Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Actually that edge was not as bad as I thought it might be. Holding a piece of sandpaper flat did the trick. As long as you do not angle it against the rotation it was fine. Sanding in between the scallops was the hardest. I have a number of sanding sticks that work good. Some I used at work and find I can use them here as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary

Another winner, Gary! Good, good on the design. Good, good on the Ack’s carnuba (I love the hardness of carnuba). Good, good on all the points matching at the center. Good, good on the jig demo. So video rating? Good, good of course!! 😜🤣🤪
Thanks for your comments Valerie they were Good, good, good.
It is not all that often I even need the points to match on the bottom but as long as your wedgie sled is perfect it is easy to do.
I have watched those edges fall off from cutting at the speed you might do for a normal segment.
Thanks again for you great comments.
Gary
Beautiful. Love the way the segments offset themselves. And the glue-up of the leftovers is spectacular. That ring is going to make a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Doug. I did not put a lot of thought into using the cutoffs from this. Not until I saw the first one and then I knew I could probably use them. The Yellow Heart was the most spendy because you can not find it here other than what Rockler has already sized to various strips. Works out be around $40.00 a board foot that way. But I only put $15.00 into the piece.

Wonderful project and thanks foe sharing with us. I do have a request for a future video. I would like to see a video on how you make precise cites and glue up without pieces sliding when being clamped. These are two things that I could use help with
Thank you Ken and I will try to fit your request in on the next segmented video. But what really worked good here was to tape them lined up in place and then getting the glue on. I show that a little but I can do more.

Hi aI told myself you should leave the top ring the way it is and you have thank for a great video Richard
Thank you Richard. When I drew it up that top ring just looked that way. At that point I figured as along as it goes together it should look great. They all lined up so I left it the way I was hoping I could.

Gary, I made your ring cutting fixture using a food grade hard plastic. Made 1 bowl from Poplar but turned into a disaster as I reversed the 45, 55 and 60 degree angles. Discovered what I did incorrectly and next bowl came out spectacular. Thank you for the innovations. Also made a Wedgie Sled but haven’t used it yet. Will soon though. Thanks. You are an inspiration. Robert
Thanks so much for letting me know Robert. Which part did you use the hard plastic on? The guide?
Have fun with the wedgie sled.
Take care,

@@ThePapa1947 yes on the guide. I made it for the 3/16” parting tool I have. Bought another at 1/8” but want one at 1/16”. Will remake the guide then. Found the carbide tool to overheat in the slot.
