Hi John, welcome along! Great to have you on board. I’ll be recording and releasing more video later this year, been a bit of a busy start to 2024 😮💨 Love Mike, he’s taken off and I’ve been with him since the start of his TH-cam journey 👍 I refined the process of the making of the offset bowl, which you may have seen already: th-cam.com/video/Sx82bqKPcaM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CleVrIKEsPYzICCV
I have to admit when I saw your lathe jumping and dancing it made my heart sink. I have had that glue let go before Kliebert is the best in the world You do exceptional work. Good on you.
Thanks for sharing your problem solving. I appreciate your honest and trial and error approach. Most of us deal with these kinds of delemas all the time so nice to we are not alone or doing something wrong.
Hey John, let’s face it, with nearly everything we do, there’s something to overcome, if we’re exploring new ways of doing things. Certainly if I make another of those, I’ll do it in a slightly different way, with less issues 😁😁😁
Thank you Archie 😊 I’ve since made another video on the same subject, with clearer instructions on an easier process: th-cam.com/video/Sx82bqKPcaM/w-d-xo.html I hope you enjoy ☺️
Lovely bowl especially with the gold leaf around the edge. I actually held my breath when it was shaking 🙈 good old duck tape to the rescue lol. Ps love the umbrella pen 🤣
Many thanks Mr Nayler! Very kind of you to say so. Here’s a video that shows off my variation of work quite well, for your viewing pleasure: th-cam.com/video/fzbRHcgWOX0/w-d-xo.html I’d offer you tickets to a London art show, but not you’re up in WY 😞 Off to do a show at Goodwood Racecourse in a couple of week 😁
It’s absolutely amazing and awesome at the same time. Thank you for sharing. I’m a new subscriber as of today. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to seeing your future videos.
Another masterpiece Richard. You had me cringing at the beginning with all the vibrations but a very clever way to fix it. Beautiful bowl and with the gilding it just puts the cherry on top. Lenore does an amazing job. You should teach wood turning. You explain everything you are about to do so well. Thanks for sharing again. Cheers 🇦🇺
My pleasure John, yer was a little hairy with it unbalanced! Re teaching, that’s kinda why I’m doing these videos, to share the love as I like to call it, and help people see the possibilities 😁😁😁
Beautiful result. Interestingly, I do off-center bowls in the reverse order. First, I turn the outside of the bowl normally--on a worm screw. I sand and finish. Then I take the blank off the lathe and draw out my interior on the top. I drill a second worm screw hole in that center and remount the blank. I cut a mortise along that axis and then reverse the blank and hollow out the bowl, then sand and finish the top and the interior. For me, this has the advantage that even once it's reversed off-center, it's at least round so it doesn't shake quite so much. Plus, I know what my fimal shape is so I can position the bowl more accurately. And I can sand the outside while it's centered, which reduces wear and tear on me.
What a lovely bowl! I am working on a similar vessel, but have started on the outside, turning off centre for the cavity. Still trying to fix my mistakes!😊
Thank you Stephanie (one of my favourite names BTW!) You’ll manage it, and now you have another method to try for next time 😁😁😁 (unless you knew this way already)
@@WoodWithD My only critique (and it is not about your woodturning) is that, if you include music with your videos, use tolerable music rather than a mind-numbing repetitive loop. If there were no narration, viewers could opt to mute the video. But the narration is quite important here so keen viewers have to endure what is used in Guantanamo Bay as a torture technique. Just a thought.
@@rontocknell5400 🤣🤣🤣👍 Noted Ron, just sitting here editing the next video that should be out later this eve and I’m NOT going to put ANY music to it, just to keep you happy ☺️☺️☺️☺️ But to make you aware, I’ve had a song I’ve heard recently, that I’m going to be singing this weekend while making another piece (howling some might call it) and it will be in a future video 🤣🤣🤣
@@WoodWithD Songs are fine with me, Dick. But repetitive loops make me want to reveal national secrets... and I don't know any. I think most viewers are fine with the sounds of woodturning.
Wonderful turning with a beautiful result. About three years ago I bought a piece of Lignum Vitae, cylindrical measuring 12 inches in diameter and 15 inches tall. I can barely lift it and each year I promise to get it on the lathe in the winter make something out of it. Alas, it's still sitting there as I can't make up my mind what to do with it. I really must knuckle down and get to work on it as you've inspired me.
@@alansimpson596 it's unlikely that what you have is genuine lignum. the cylinders you find are all Argentine Lignum also called Palo Santo. they are also much more green in colour when left in sunlight. Genuine lignum was never turned into those large cylinders you can buy. they were left as logs with the sap wood on or cut as octagons like you can see in Dicks video.
Thank you Mr Bradlad. Oh hell yes! I don’t show all the stop starts in the video for sharpening the tools, but I had 3 bowl gouges on the go, sharpen 3, when 1 blunts, grab another till blunt, repeat, then resharpen.
Welcome Halloweeninator (that’s a mouthful! 🤣) Fortunately for me I’ve got gripper jaws on that OLD chuck I used, so I don’t need to taper, just do it up tight. I’m shortly going to be doing another off centre bowl out of greenheart this time, and going to use a lot better, slightly safer, method of making this type of bowl. And specially for you I’ll use a tapered chuck grip 😁👍 Probably be in a few weeks time, so if this is going to be a project for you, can you wait a few weeks, stick around and the new video will follow 😁👍👍👍
@@WoodWithD just grab the model number, I will be able to look up the specs. I would like to get something that size for my shop but it's the sort of purchase you only want to do once :D
@@OriginsOfMo will check this eveninh mate, currently in the home office doing day job (supposedly 😀) and get back to you here. Bought second hand, replaced the guides for the roller type, other than that cracking machine!
@@OriginsOfMo sorry for the Delay Mike, the Bandsaw I have came from a carver who was upgrading. It’s a floor standing Perform Bandsaw Model CCVBB with a max cut depth of 230mm and max width of 380mm. Axminster now do the more modern version and you’ve made me look at their website and now I’m considering the Axminster Trade AT3327B! 😀😀😀
In due course, you should have your planer connected to your dust collection. Also where did you get that fancy pencil🤷♂️ are you sure you have that lathe bolted down 😧
Hello mate, to answer your queries: Planer is now connected, since making that video. Fancy pencil came from a tropical zoo I visited in the midlands. I’m going to the area again soon, shall I get one for you? Lathe defo bolted down but only daily small bolts 😢
@@WoodWithD very nice of you but in my shop pencils get destroyed and or lost. The bowl, the process, the commentary, all mate keep up the good work and get larger bolts
I’m so sorry Steve! I went to Timberline, Tonbridge, for some more sander sealer and spotted that while there and had to buy it! There were bits there that were ALOT bigger, some that I’m not sure I could lift on my own!
Can I ask how you sanded this up I find it chokes the sandpaper up very quickly, I thought maybe there was another way or just patience and keep changing the paper
Unfortunately, if you wanna keep the lush oil finish, the clogging sandpaper and changing it is the way to go. I’ve heard some talk about using various chemicals to wipe away the surface oils in order to sand, but I’d rather do it old school. Good way to use up older sandpaper that I know you’ve got a pile off! 🤣🤣👍
@@jefferybilling9093 difficult to say, depends what kinda fair you are selling it at, but I’ll be selling it at an art fair and I’d likely put a price tag on it in the UK for £750, but accept £650 if they were bartering. It is Genuine Lignum (not cheap for the blank) and with real gold 😁😁😁
You used wood glue that is not a structural wood glue for a structural joint which is inherently dangerous. A structural grade of epoxy would have been a safer choice. A large faceplate allows screwing counterweights to the faceplate for a perfect balanceand safety.
Charlie, you are right. He didn’t even scuff up the surfaces before applying the glue. 🤷♂️ I hope Dick uses better safety procedures in the future but then again, it’s the danger that keeps me watching and it makes the popcorn taste better.
I am amazed that anyone would actually take the time to write this. You do know any interaction with a video, positive or negative, counts as a positive towards the channel.
Very clever and amazing results,,,,,,,love the way you show the full details of how you do things …

Hi Leigh. That sound very awsome, but, wouldn’t there then be two chuck grips in the base?
Beautiful! The gold added a great embellishment.
Thanks mate, yup, Lenore has skills with that stuff! It’s beyond me!
Didn't think this was possible until you did it! 😳 wow such a beautiful piece!! Thanks for the education it was very entertaining as well 😊
That’s very kind of you to say sir. What can I say, I try to entertain 😁🤣

Agree. It was a perfect marriage between design and material.
@@MsMMBell thank you Marty! It’s got a gorgeous weight to it when you lift it! Finished bowl is just under 3kg 😊
Good vid mate. Looked nice in the end. Felt sorry for your lathe at beginning though
Thanks mate. Yup, defo think it would have died or broke if I’d carried on!
Beautiful bowl and I loved watching the process as it evolved. Fascinating.
