When a meteor hits a chessboard exactly on squares d4 ... d5 ... e4 ... e5 ... And now seriously, well done for the brilliant idea, the perfect execution. A relaxing and perfect video. ART!!
Perfect!! Gary, anyone who did not see this video would think you made it from a board at least 3 inches thick. 👏👏 Another fantastic job from your workshop, my friend. Thank you so much for the shout out. I really appreciate it, buddy! Keep having fun in your shop! 😁😎😁 Happy turning, …..Gord
Thank you Gord! It was lots of fun to do and I have been having a great time in the shop. But today I got this crazy idea of moving one of my work benches and started clearing things out. Then I decided it may not be such a great idea so not I have things all over the place. Dang! LOL Take care my friend, Gary
If somebody else made this bowl I'd be surprised. But seeing how that you did it I'm not. You have impressed me from the beginning and I have learned to realize when your video comes up, it takes priority of all other turners, next to Ogle. I love both you guys turnings.
Another very original idea. I suppose with every next project You impress yourself, Gary 👌 Lots of advices from You are priceless. First time I have heard about this tip with denaturated alcohol to remove hot glue. I need to check this one and this with slow and gentle cutting off the rings with parting tool. I will test it at first and if I will make it it will help me with my project on which I'm working now. Great work You have made on this bowl and I can't to wait next ideas 👍 Have a wonderful weekend, Brother 💪 Rav
Thank you Rav, I have to admit this ended up looking better than I was expecting. I used to try and cut the hot glue off with a parting tool but it would just gum up. This really does a fine job. For sure if you listed to the sound of the cut you will know you are probably less than 1/16 inch from cutting through. Sharpen up and little pressure. Take care brother and looking forward to your next video. Gary
Hi Gary... Beautiful bowl and very well executed... great tip on removing the hot glue... I've never heard of that... must try and remember that one... Great video as always... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Ray, you know that is a good idea. Maybe some margarita's and the magnetic base while the board spins slowly on a turntable LOL. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I think after a few margaritas the table will appear to be spinning regardless of a turntable! Unless of course they are virgin margaritas!! All the best. Ray
It doesn't LOOK complicated, Gary, but just to conceive of such a way to make the bowl while maintaining the integrity of the individual square shapes makes you a genius! Very well explained and demonstrated. You make it look easy and since you've done all the work, it will be easy for anyone that follows your guidance. Very nice, elegant piece, professor! Keep'em coming, buddy! 😊 Phil
Thank you Phil and you are right. It is a pretty simple one to do. I have been wanting to do it but was just not sure how it was going to look. I almost wanted to leave it a flat board and call it done LOL. But the more I looked at it I will have to use your word and say it does look a little elegant. That was fun to say because I am 180 degrees from being elegant myself. Thanks for watching and take care my friend, Gary
Hi Phil! I hope you are doing well. I don’t know any details, except you are “laid up” for the time being. I pray it’s nothing to serious. I miss seeing you. Take care friend. May The Force Be With You! *✨Roma 🌲💚🌳 💜🎃🖤👻🧡🧟♂️
Thank you Jack, I was thinking about putting some checkers on it for the picture but they may have slid down into the bowl LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Lamar, I have done some with the corners turned down but to keep the look of a board I decided flat would be nice. For sure try one with the wings down and let me know how it goes. Take care, Gary
I echo all the sentiments in the other comments and have no idea why you don't have more subscribers; your craftsperson ship, innovation and time taken to explain and share is simply brilliant and appreciated. Thankyou.
Great choice of woods for this piece Gary, love the sharp contrasts. Always enjoy your segmented turnings, there is SO much thought goes into them, eg, I don't want to lose the effect of the squares so I will only go two thicknesses deep. Desired result achieved, as always. The finish you achieved on this piece is superb mate making for a fabulous result, such a pleasure to watch. Cheers, don from South Aust.
Thanks so much Donald. I did a lot of thinking on how deep to make this and happy I decided to keep it fairly flat. Perhaps I will do another and see how it looks much deeper. But I know the squares with get a bit oblong looking. Same as a tumbling block bowl does. Take care, Gary
Thanks so much Dave, these are lots of fun to make and I kind of got on a roll making them. A few more coming but then time for something else. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Gary
Thank you Dave! If you do not have finish on the turning Acetone works great as well. But it is hard on all the finishes I use. So I stick with DNA. Thanks for watchign, Gary
I really enjoyed the whole process. I'm going to copy! From here (Brazil) a big thank you and wishes for a New Year full of health, peace and lots of videos!! Thanks!
Bruce I made the longworth chuck. I have a CNC milling machine so it made it easy. You can do it with a router and there are lots of plans out there showing you how to lay it out and make it. I do see a number of them already made on places like Etsy for a decent price if you do not want to make it yourself. And the cost I see is not much more than buying the material and making you own. Hope that helps. Gary
Good evening, Gary. This series of bowls has inspired me to step out and try other designs. Your clear directives give me confidence to get busy. First, get the jig made. Excellent video. See ya later.
Hi Ray, happy to hear you are wanting to try some other designs. And for sure this has been a series. I did not setup to do that but it just happened. These are so fun to make and so many things you can do. As a matter fact there is one more part of the series in the makings. Hope I can have it done for next Friday but if not I have a simple little Walnut crotch piece already done. See Ya Later, Gary
That is very cool. Reminds me of the cover to the first edition of Keith Laumer’s “The Glory Game” that I read years ago. The cover had a checkered board with a finger poking in and the board poking out elsewhere. I can’t post a link, but an image search should let people see what I mean. This gives the same impression.
Thank you Mark, happy you liked it. I will see if I can find that picture. Found it: i.etsystatic.com/14939796/r/il/27e0a9/2655581351/il_794xN.2655581351_gubq.jpg Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks, the single ring (as compared to your 3 rings) is a nice way to ease into trying this method. My wife has me doing a bunch of ornaments so all my other projects are on hold.
awesome turnings. as a woodworker/cabinetmaker, I appreciate fine woodworking skills. I will be most gracious to share your channel with friends. keep up the awesome work
Thank you Philip. I have always loved woodworking of all kinds since I was in grade school shop class. Many years ago! People thought I should go into cabinet making but I decided to get an apprenticeship as a wood pattern maker. It was a very interesting job that I loved. I have made lots of cabinets and furniture for our house though. Thanks for watching, Gary
I recognized your cutting and gluing technique as I have used the same procedure making cutting boards. If you rotate the final strips 90 degrees so the end grain is up in the final gluing you can make a knife friendly cutting board although it would present some problems as a wood turning. I do enjoy your videos.
Thank you Bob, I have thought about making cutting boards myself and for sure they need to be end grain. I make tumbling block bowls and they would look great as cutting boards. I may have to do that one of thee days. Thanks for watching, Gary
I really appreciate you sharing all of your experiences and how you get the bowls and what you use to do the work. Please keep it coming. Just got my first wood lathe.
Hi Gary, Very nice piece! It looks like an optical illusion from some angles! This video came at a good time for me as I'm attempting to make a checker board and checkers. The checker board is pretty much straight foreword but I haven't figured out how I'm going to make the small 7/8" diameter checkers yet. I want them to have a little "texture on the edges! I always have one part of a project that sends me for a loop! LOL Thanks for the video,,, Tom
Thank you Tom and I liked the look so much as a flat board I was tempted not to turn it. As far as checkers I had thought about that as well. You could turn a spindle and setup a router to cut texture along the length. If you have an indexer on the lathe pick how many groves you want. Then part the checkers off and sand them up. Just a thought. Take care, Gary
Thank You Gary...Always a new adventure each Friday show..."The Queen's Gambit" bowl? Now I am thinking "What will Gary come up with for next week"?....Until then I wait & wonder. Beautiful work Gary... TM
Thank you Tuffy, for sure it will not be a set of chess pieces or checkers LOL. It may have to be something pretty simple though. Leaving a few of those normal home repairs has caught up with me LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Great piece Gary. Isn't it funny how we take big pieces of wood and cut them into little pieces of wood so we can glue them together to make big pieces of wood and then......Hahaha. well done my friend. 👍🏻
Thank you Dave! For sure we do tend to make big pieces little just to make them big again. I seem to have an addiction for doing that. I wonder if there is a cure? I hope not LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Have you heard from or talked with Phil recently ? And , where do you put all your awesome bowls ? My wife gets tired of dusting them all and well you know ! 😄
@@jonmartineau1004 I have not heard from him for awhile. He is getting rest and hope he gets better soon. Just keep him in your thoughts. I have bowls stored everywhere and am running out of places to put them. Starting to put one inside the other LOL. I suppose I should consider selling but just not into that.
Thanks again for a fantastic video Gary. I am learning so many usable techniques from watching. The chuck you made was very impressive and I wouldn't mind trying to get a hold of something similar.
Thank you Bruce! Very happy you are liking my videos. Are you talking about the large MDF one or the small one that goes in the tailstock? Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I'll jump in here on this one, Gary. I'd like to see your description for making that big Longworth chuck. I've thought about making a Cole Jaw chuck, but I've seen more and more uses for the Longworth. By the way, I began my teaching career by teaching junior high (8th/9th grade) Industrial Arts (LOVED it--and was even named IA Teacher of the Year back in 1976), then had a stint as middle school Principal, and then was recruited to teach at MS State University--so I've taught lots of teachers how to teach; thus, I am wanting to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your thorough, gentle, direct teaching method. Although I've been subscribed only a month or so, I'll be around a long time. I'm 72 years young now, so I plan to make lots of wood chips between now and the day I check out of this Earth. Thanks for all you do, Gary! Your style really resonates with me! --Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis)
I could do a video on it but I have a CNC machine and would be using it. There should be a lot of videos doing this with a router. I could show what i have if that would be helpful. Thanks for the interest. Gary
Hi Papa. I have thoroughly enjoyed your bowl from a board Videos, they have been inspiring. I think Phil Anderson from Shady Acres Woodshop's comments sum up my feeling very nicely. God Bless, stay safe professor Papa. Tony
Thank you Tony, very happy you are liking the bowl from a board. As there are more coming. And one will be a real treat. At least I hope. Wow I am liking that Professor Papa...hmm maybe time for a new channel name LOL ...God bless, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 ...and you as well, my friend. I know that you, like us, are praying for Uncle Phil, and awaiting his return. (Your partner in crime😉) Be blessed, Papa G 🕊️☮️✌️
That’s just beautiful Gary. I have always loved the combination of maple and walnut together. I have really been enjoying this board to bowl series, as someone else commented saying such, that you have been doing lately. I will definitely want to make one of those jogs that you have. Great work as always Gary.
Thank you Scott, yes it does seem to be a series. And I am working on something that should be fun for all and then I will take a break from the B&B method. Thanks for watching, Gary
Nice job Looks Awesome Gary! Love to see the different ways ya can turn the bowl from a board, looking forward to seeing more designs, Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank you, happy you liked it. Oh yeah the dna really makes it easy to do. I think acetone might be a bit faster but it will also mess up a finish if you give it a chance. Been living in OR my whole life. Looking forward to some sunny days. Thanks for watching, Gary
Just discovered your channel. I love your segmented designs, really inspiring; makes me want to try one.... BTW, I had to do a double take, as I thought I was watching a Phil Anderson video at one point...😷
Thank you Huw, it does have a nice look and it was easy to do. I am on a roll with easy ones. I have let too many home chores left undone so now scrambling before the yucky weather shows up. Good news is I got 2 of those done today!!! Take care, Gary
I used to love playing checkers and chess. Now I can not sit still long enough for a chess came so I thought I might just make a chess board LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another beauty that was well explained as to how it was made and the finish was perfect! I have been using that Minwax Polycrylic and sanding sealer on some salt and pepper mills and coffee grinders then finished with Acks and I have to thank you for the tips...........well done Gary and thanks!

Great piece Gary. Isn't it funny how we take big pieces of wood and cut them into little pieces of wood so we can glue them together to make big pieces of wood and then......Hahaha. well done my friend. 👍🏻
Thank you Dave! For sure we do tend to make big pieces little just to make them big again. I seem to have an addiction for doing that. I wonder if there is a cure? I hope not LOL

Well done, beautiful.

You never fail to impress me Gary ! Amazing how you figure this all out .
Thank you Jon that is very kind of you to say.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Have you heard from or talked with Phil recently ? And , where do you put all your awesome bowls ? My wife gets tired of dusting them all and well you know ! 😄
@@jonmartineau1004 I have not heard from him for awhile. He is getting rest and hope he gets better soon. Just keep him in your thoughts.
I have bowls stored everywhere and am running out of places to put them. Starting to put one inside the other LOL.
I suppose I should consider selling but just not into that.
@@ThePapa1947 Sure will . I miss his Thursday's video's
Thanks again for a fantastic video Gary. I am learning so many usable techniques from watching. The chuck you made was very impressive and I wouldn't mind trying to get a hold of something similar.
Thank you Bruce! Very happy you are liking my videos. Are you talking about the large MDF one or the small one that goes in the tailstock?
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I'll jump in here on this one, Gary. I'd like to see your description for making that big Longworth chuck. I've thought about making a Cole Jaw chuck, but I've seen more and more uses for the Longworth. By the way, I began my teaching career by teaching junior high (8th/9th grade) Industrial Arts (LOVED it--and was even named IA Teacher of the Year back in 1976), then had a stint as middle school Principal, and then was recruited to teach at MS State University--so I've taught lots of teachers how to teach; thus, I am wanting to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your thorough, gentle, direct teaching method. Although I've been subscribed only a month or so, I'll be around a long time. I'm 72 years young now, so I plan to make lots of wood chips between now and the day I check out of this Earth.
Thanks for all you do, Gary! Your style really resonates with me!

I could do a video on it but I have a CNC machine and would be using it. There should be a lot of videos doing this with a router. I could show what i have if that would be helpful.
Thanks for the interest.
Gary
Congratulations dear.... Nice to see you from Brasil
Thanks so much and thanks for watching,

Spectacular!
Thank you very much M Mills and thanks for watching,

Hi Papa. I have thoroughly enjoyed your bowl from a board Videos, they have been inspiring. I think Phil Anderson from Shady Acres Woodshop's comments sum up my feeling very nicely. God Bless, stay safe professor Papa. Tony
Thank you Tony, very happy you are liking the bowl from a board. As there are more coming. And one will be a real treat. At least I hope.
Wow I am liking that Professor Papa...hmm maybe time for a new channel name LOL ...God bless,
Gary
Nice. Love it, Papa G ❣️👍✌️
Thank you Dwayne, very happy to hear you like it.
Take care,
Gary

...and you as well, my friend. I know that you, like us, are praying for Uncle Phil, and awaiting his return. (Your partner in crime😉)
Be blessed, Papa G 🕊️☮️✌️
That’s just beautiful Gary. I have always loved the combination of maple and walnut together. I have really been enjoying this board to bowl series, as someone else commented saying such, that you have been doing lately. I will definitely want to make one of those jogs that you have. Great work as always Gary.
Thank you Scott, yes it does seem to be a series. And I am working on something that should be fun for all and then I will take a break from the B&B method.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice job Looks Awesome Gary! Love to see the different ways ya can turn the bowl from a board, looking forward to seeing more designs, Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank you Kimsey, they are fun to do and I may have a few more in the works.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nicely done and I love the set up! Good tip on dna for softening the hot glue! Stay well out there in OR.
Thank you, happy you liked it. Oh yeah the dna really makes it easy to do. I think acetone might be a bit faster but it will also mess up a finish if you give it a chance.
Been living in OR my whole life. Looking forward to some sunny days.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
great looking piece
Thank you Norm. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Just discovered your channel. I love your segmented designs, really inspiring; makes me want to try one.... BTW, I had to do a double take, as I thought I was watching a Phil Anderson video at one point...😷
Thank you Steve. Segmented turning is a lot of fun.
Phil is a few months younger than I am but I do not think we look much alike LOL.
@@ThePapa1947 I was thinking how similar you both sound... LOL
Simply fantastic, you make it look so easy. I don't know how you find the time to make so many remarkable pieces.
Thank you Joseph! Being retired helps but it still keeps me busy.
Thanks for watching,

Hi Gary, Very, very clever adaptation. Love it. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw, it does have a nice look and it was easy to do. I am on a roll with easy ones. I have let too many home chores left undone so now scrambling before the yucky weather shows up.
Good news is I got 2 of those done today!!!
Take care,
Gary
you always come up with the best stuff!

Just in time for the 2021 World Chess& Checkers Bowl Championship!
I used to love playing checkers and chess. Now I can not sit still long enough for a chess came so I thought I might just make a chess board LOL.

Beautiful, thank you for the lesson
Thank you Dennis and thanks for watching.

Another beauty that was well explained as to how it was made and the finish was perfect! I have been using that Minwax Polycrylic and sanding sealer on some salt and pepper mills and coffee grinders then finished with Acks and I have to thank you for the tips...........well done Gary and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you Al...happy you enjoyed it.
That combo makes a wonderful finish. I bet those salt and pepper mills look fantasitc.
