Great work. Really like watching these wood turning videos. Special thanks to you for putting graphics on the screen of what gouge, scraper, or other tool you’re using. Not many of the video makers do that and it really helps someone who doesn’t do this to know more about the process.
Three sided bowls are a challenge to turn. They are not easy to turn and can be pretty tricky. I am now on my 5th try turning a bowl and all of the previous four attempts were fiascos. They ended up in the fireplace since they were beyond repair after bad some catches. I studied your video and perhaps I will have some success this time. Thanks for sharing the video! Nice bowl you turned!!!!!
Maple-Crossing Woodworks I am turning a three winged bowl out of a 3.5” x 3.5” x 3.5” cherry wood blank using carbide tools instead of conventional turning chisels. It’s a tiny bowl, but I work with what I have in the wood pile. Will make a 6” x 6” x 6” glue up blank out of some pine with some other wood to make it a little more interesting.
Beautiful bowl, the person that glued it up also did an incredible job! I’ve never seen the technique of just putting it into the head & tail stock without any thing to grip it??? Unusual but you are obviously very experienced and didn’t push it. Love the finished project, congrats! Cheers, Sean
Thanks Sean! I was worried about mounting it like that, but it worked out... took it slow and stayed out of the line of fire:) Roger from my turning club is famous in these parts for his glue ups, I always bid on his stuff when he brings them in! Thanks for watching!
When i saw how you were holding the work on the lathe,i said no way he will make it...but you proved me wrong:) Excellent skills.. All the best Ioannis
Hello my friend! thanks for watching. I should be starting on the vacuum chuck video shortly, I LOVE turning on that thing (now that I trust it a little).
I'm already curious when you show off how you've built your vacuum device - I do not know if I'll need such a thing, but to me it's always interesting how someone makes something - because everyone makes it a little different in their way and the inequality is a nice condiment in life.
Thanks for the video. This video clearer on what needs to be done in comparison to others on TH-cam. When I tried turning a three sided bowl, I turned the wood up to the first set of three corners (if that makes any sense) of the cube’s diagonal. That was a mistake! I should have gone to the second set of three corners so the edge of the wing would be oriented in the right direction and face inwards. My edges faced outwards. Oh well, at least I learned through my mistakes....as everyone else who turns wood..
I'm curious, would it be possible to create a jig to cut off the top on a band saw or something, instead of using the lathe? That could allow you to screw a chuck in so you could finish the backside and maybe even create a (I forget what it's called) negative space for the chuck to grab. Hey, you might even be able to turn a tiny bowl from the the point cut from the top. Just an idea. No idea if it would work. Awesome project. Though it is long, I love seeing every step of the process in detail.
You absolutely could. if you built a jig to hold the bowl aligned with a bandsaw blade you could probably get a pretty good cut, then just attach to a faceplate or work-screw. The only challenge might be to keep it aligned with the corners so the tops of the bowl are uniform. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the ideas!
This is the 2nd 3 corner bowl I've seen done on TH-cam, by far the best. Just a thought, wouldn't it be advantages to trim a small bit from what would become the foot & the top half minus a little to eliminate waste and work (time) ? I would be interested in your thoughts. Thanks for the great video, Jim
You ended up with a very nice looking dish, I got a bit wor4ried when you were making the finishing cuts to the bottom. You got lucky, I didn't care a lot for the way you were removing the tenon. No worries though, it all worked out.
Thanks! It's the Powermatic 3520B. Since the 'C' came out, you can pick these up at a pretty decent price (considering how much machine it is). Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work? Nifty idea? Don't know where my brain was at when I wrote that. It is extraordinary work, exquisite and inspiring. One of the things that I love about TH-cam is that I get to see the expression of ideas that never would've occurred to me. Your video reminded me of why I love the medium. Video was very well filmed on top of all else. If you ever think of selling your lathe, I'd be interested. Thanks
A Powermatic, I think. Don't know what model though. Wouldn't mind one myself. Plenty of swing and ample power to spin bigger stuff. Are you looking to get one? Best regards. 🙃
correct me if i am wrong but if you did it right you could have turned two bowls out of that cube they would have been slightly smaller or shallower but still i think this was A LOT of material wasted i would love to see you try to make another cube cut it in half and then turn two bowls out of it
if you dont know exactly what i mean google the phrase "cube cut hexagon" and look at the pictures if you cut a cube like this and then mount the pieces to lathe on the cut where the hexagon is you might manage to get two bowls exactly the same size as in this video ... i would really love to see you try it
You're right... you could either make 1 larger and one smaller out of the same blank... or two fairly shallow ones. I wanted the high points on this one, and was actually originally planning on it being more of a hollow form with a lid, but decided I liked the pattern as a bowl. I'll be making more, maybe I'll try what you suggest, and if they happen to nest neatly in each other, more the better :) Thanks for watching, and great recommendation!
@@MapleCrossingWoodworks i have never seen something like this done in a lathe video so it would be great content for sure. plus that diagonal cut in the cube looks really good and creates a really interesting shape that most people have never seen, sort of like a three sided pyramid / diamond .
I wish more people turning complicated shapes would stop the lathe now and then to give people a better idea of what changes and shapes the piece goes through.
I stop the lathe a lot to better see what kind of mess I'm making. I sometimes edit that out in post, but I'll be sure to keep several of them in. Thanks for watching!
thank you very much for your answer unfortunatly no way to have it in my country i apreciate very much your work and i'm learning many trick from you thanks you so much
Blow away Very nice. I'm 81 and turn my first project yesterday, sorry I didn't start a long time ago. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching! never too old to learn!
Beautiful job turning and finishing your bowl. The glued up block really makes this piece unique.
Beautiful project. Really came out well and the polished finish is amazing! I'll have to try it for sure.
Beautiful bowl! I LOVE winged bowls and 3 sided bowls, especially if they are glued up with contrasting colored woods. Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏾

That is such an awesome bowl...love it! I just turned a square bowl from purple heart today.
Thank you! it was a blast to turn, once I felt like I trusted the mounting. A square bowl from purple heart, I'd love to see that!
awesome nice work. maybe in my younger day I would be gutsy enough to turn that
Very good video, well explained. Were you surprised by the shape of the pattern inside, I wasn't expecting that ... as the song goes!
I wasn't really sure what to expect... but I was very pleased with what emerged :)
Superb! Bravo. 👍👍

Very nice turning. Careful nibbling did the job.
Thank you. Lots of air getting cut there, but a fun project
Very very cool... Really nice.
So cool how that came out. great piece
Very nicely done!
Thanks!
I loved every minute but I must have missed the point
What keeps bowl on fixture when turning the base
He uses a vacuum chuck so it's basically being sucked onto the headstock by an industrial Hoover.
Holy cow! That is gorgeous!
Thank you!

I've thought about using some of the hollow to make a lid for it, maybe on one of my next ones. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. I use a mover's blanket between the lath bed and the work piece when using this polishing system. Noted slight catch at about 26:40.
That's a really good idea, I've had bottle stoppers ripped from my hand and smashed against the back wall. Thanks for watching!
beautiful job! i think some more editing in the middle where you were changing the chuck to turn the bowl and finish the bottom would have been nice.
You ended up with a very nice looking dish, I got a bit wor4ried when you were making the finishing cuts to the bottom. You got lucky, I didn't care a lot for the way you were removing the tenon. No worries though, it all worked out.
Was that because of the pull cuts, or the vacuum chuck? Thanks for watching!
Len Mullin Sorry 😐 I offended you by wanting to see the glue up. Mine always seems a little off. Please read my reply under my first post.
Nice looking Tri bowl
Thank you!
Excellent bowl👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you
Wow. Beautiful. What type of woods is this made of?
Beautiful !
thanks!
ah another golf glove aficionado, I use one as well!
I've become a huge fan of them, especially doing square bowls/plates lately!
I personally use a fairly heavy leather glove with the last knuckle of each finger exposed. (a la David Ellsworth.)
Amazing, thanks for sharing! What is the brand and model of your lathe?
A Powermatic, I think. Don't know what model though. Wouldn't mind one myself. Plenty of swing and ample power to spin bigger stuff. Are you looking to get one? Best regards. 🙃
Very cool bowl. What size was the original block?
About 7" x 7" x 9", but I cut it to about 7" cubed
@@MapleCrossingWoodworks Thanks
love it. great work. how can I build a vacuum chuck?
Thanks! It's funny you should ask... I am trying to wrap up the editing on my video for building your own vacuum chuck 😀
I dont have videos yet. but you can still look at my channel and see what I do?
Some nice looking segmented pieces you have there!
Thanks
I really love this.
the OCD in me really wanted you to keep turning it to the camera until the corners lined up lol
Beautiful
Thank you!
Great work. I'm going to try turning a mortise at base so that I can use a std 4-jaw chuck to finish interior.
would love to see the results! Thanks for watching

What make of lathe are you using
It's a Powermatic 3520B. They are easier to get on a discount, now that the 3520C is out
