I already saw several videos on bowl turning but always can learn new tricks from the masters. I am a newbie to wood turning and would like to commend you for this bowl. It has a very pleasant design. Congrats from Blumenau in Brazil.
Your artwork is beautiful Daniel! I was given a lathe and it has been sitting in the shop for a couple of years. Seeing your videos has inspired me to go out there and give wood turning a try. Thank you for sharing! -karl
Daniel. This is a great bowl! I love the wood, the shape, and I had never heard of burning with a paper towel. I am going to try and make a bowl that resembles yours. Great video as usual.
Hi Billy! Thank you so much, my dear friend, for such nice comments! Yes, a lot of people burn marks in grooves with copper wires, which is a common method. Then, I began burning in circular groves in bases of bowls, using a small wooden stick that you can rub in the inside of the groove while turning at speed. Finally, in borders, you can use paper towel, like in this case. Cheers! And keep yourself and your loved ones healthy! Daniel
Beautiful bowl, Daniel, just beautiful. Also, a very well explained tutorial. Thanks for posting it. I'm sure many are going to appreciate your efforts on this one. Have a great day, Daniel, .....Gord
+Gord Rock Hi Gord! Thank you very much, dear friend, for the kind comments! I hoped to be able to provide a couple of ideas of how to turn without a chuck. I know, when I first got the lathe, it was sort of a big question how to do it! Cheers! Daniel
Great video Daniel!! and the bowl looks really great! it's one of my favorite shapes to turn, so much so most of the bowls I keep for myself are of that same design :) One of the first, if not the actual first, bowls I've turned, a few years ago, I didn't have a chuck to use, and I really didn't know how to use a faceplate as well, and to tell you the honest truth, I don't rememeber how I turned it, except that it was between centers the whole time...
+Yuval Lahav Woodturning Hi Yuval! That was quite a feat, my friend! I think turning a bowl between centers must be quite difficult. That is a pleasing shape, isn't it? sort of in the middle of a hollow form and a bowl. Thank you very much for your comments and also for watching the video! Cheers! Daniel
Very nice bowl, Daniel. Nice video, as well. I think that mounting with a faceplate/glue block as you did in this video is at least as secure as mounting in a chuck, and probably the same amount of effort. I also like that the mounting method can accommodate the design rather than the other way around as is often the case with a chuck. And I'm glad that this one didn't go flying! :)
+Barry's Workshop Hi Barry! Thank you for you comments dear friend! If done properly, it is a very secure method to hold pieces. You are correct, you are not limited by the dimensions of the chuck. I was so glad that I could get this one without being thrown through the workshop, otherwise would have been a bit embarrasing ;) Cheers! Daniel
+Mike Waldt Hi Mike! Thank you, my dear friend, for the comment and for watching the video. Yes, I have a lot of subscribers that do not have access to chucks, because where they live there is no offer of this type of accessories or they simply are way too expensive. And, I challenged myself to do it this way, because of that fail some time ago. So, that was the idea! I hope everything keeps going great with the Symposium! Cheers! Daniel
Daniel I am new to your channel and just like to say that you have another subscriber, I love your coins and I will be watching more of your videos over the weekend.
+Roger Crook Hi Roger! Thank you very much, dear friend, for your comments, for watching the video and for subscribing! Welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy the videos! Cheers! Daniel
Hola Daniel! Sorry, that's about all of my Spanish. Thank you for this video. I haven't seen anyone burn the edge of a bowl with kitchen paper before, but it looks a lot neater than with a blowtorch. How do you do it? Is it just dry paper and nothing else? No polish or paste? Do you use a fast or slow lathe speed to do it?
Dear Lew! Thank you very much, my friend, for your comments and for watching the video. The trick is to do it with dry paper and running the lathe at least at 800 or more rpms. The friction generates heat, and that heat begins to increase until finally it will burn the wood. The bowl already had some finish if you look at that part of the video, and even the paste and the friction polish would lubricate just a bit comparing with just bare wood, the heat is still enough to burn it. Be careful though, not to get the paper on fire, lol! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Daniel, That looks a much safer way than the chuck! The flexi-light looks really handy, is it cordless! Brilliant bowl mate, the way you do the burning of the edge is amazing. Really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. Cheers Andy
+Andrew Smith Hi Andy! Thank you very much, my dear friend, for watching and commenting the video! Yes, it is a battery operated (1AA battery) flashlight. When Paula gave it to me last Christmas I knew I was going to use it a lot in the workshop. Cheers! Daniel
Hi Butcher776! Thank you for your comment my friend and I hope you find many more videos in my Channel that will help you in this incredible art! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Rami! Thank you, my friend, for your comment and for watching the video. This is an old video, from 2016, and during that time I was using that mask, that worked really well. As you can see, I do have a beard, although I keep it kind of short. In my case, the mask always worked well. The only problem I had with that mask is that I use glasses, and because of the sweat, they would get fogged. For that reason, after several years I decided to invest in a mask that has air flow, because it keeps the mask environment cooler and my glasses never fog. The mask I purchased is much more expensive, also from 3M, the Versaflo PAPR TR-300, but for me was important to invest in it, because I have lung issues, and I need a mask that is comfortable enough to use for a long period of time, otherwise, you take it off and then you are exposed to the dust. I hope this helps! Cheers! Daniel
Very good video,well documented and filmed,a pleasure to watch. I burn rings into my work using wire,and have never seen it done with paper.Is this the Only way to burn an inside ring ??? Keep up the good work. Bill.
Hi Bill! Thank you very much for your comments and for watching the video. The idea of burning rings, both external or internal, or even at the base, is to generate enough friction between the wood and the material used, so that the wood will eventually began to burn. It is a controlled burning and you have to be careful not to get the paper in flames LOL! You can basically use anything that it is safe to hold against the wood. You could use another piece of wood, perhaps a soft one, like dry pine or dry poplar, or a piece of formica as I have seen some turners. I prefer no to use formica because the fumes can be dangerous. I hope this helps! Cheers! Daniel
Thank you for posting your vids in Spanish as well as English. I am trying to learn Spanish so by watching both presentations I am progressing, slowly, but progressing. Since I have the bad habit of exceeding the interior diameter (a hole in the bottom, I was thinking that when preparing the mortise you could dome the center portion then drill for your coin. The coin, therefore, would not intrude into the bottom of the bowl and would be more showcased. Just a thought.
+Earl Rumble Hi Earl! Thank you, my friend for you comments and suggestions. You are more than welcome :) That is a great idea and I sort of did something like that (dome in the middle for the coin) in one of my previous videos: th-cam.com/video/bYsnVWt1ddw/w-d-xo.html If you check around minute 26, I was doing what you said. Yes, it is a safer way to go to avoid going through the base (which is not the first time it would have happened). Cheers! Daniel
+Marc 's Oneway of turning Hi Marc! Merci mon ami! Thank you for the comment and for watching the video! à la prochaine! Cheers! Daniel (Ha, I do not have any idea how to put this letter: "à" in capital letter!) Cheers! Daniel
i just wanted to say I just subscribed to your channel, you are very informative and i love your videos! i just received my first lathe and i am ready to start turning. This is very helpful since I only have a faceplate right now. If you don't mind my asking, what type of lathe are you using?
Hi Hayes! Welcome to my Channel my friend! Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing. I bet you will love turning. I have a Grizzly G0733 model. Happy turning! Cheers! Daniel
Beautiful bowl Daniel and without a chuck!! Well done. Question: Making your abrasive paste, do you combine all ingredients then heat it up to melt the bees wax?
+Joe Ritz Hi Joe! Thank you very much for your comment my friend! I melt the wax first using the double boiler method, then I add the mineral oil and finally the abrasive. The trick is to let it cool mixing it up often so that the texture will be uniform, otherwise the abrasive will go to the bottom of the paste. Once the texture thickens, the abrasive will stay in place. Hope that helps! Cheers! Daniel
Daniel I have a piece of waves maple that is 2" in width that has been sitting in my shop for 4 months. I was going to make a Lazy Susan out of it and but think I will try this method. Thank you. Also, I will send a picture of a hollow form I just finished last night. Thank you
+Chip Matthews Hi Chip! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting my friend! This is a very pleasing shape, I think you will not regret it :) I look forward to see the hollow form. Cheers! Daniel
+Roger Leslie Hi mate! Thank you very much, dear friend, for your comments and for watching the video. Big hug on its way to Barrosa Valley! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Donald! Thank you very much, dear friend, for watching the video, for commenting and for subscribing. I upload videos often, when I can every week, sometime every two depending on my official work load. I have probably more than a hundred videos by now in my channel. Hopefully some of them will be of interest. Welcome to my channel! Cheers! Daniel
Hi Erik! Thank you very much, dear friend, for you comment and for watching the video. I am using a Grizzly G0733. It is originally from China and it is distributed by Grizzly. So far I do not have major complaints. It could have a wheel on the headstock for turning the axis by hand, which it doesn't and the indexing system could be a bit more functional, but it works. I would probably go for an american built lathe for my next one, perhaps with a bit more power (3HP), the G0733 has 2HP, and do not get me wrong, it has been plenty so far, but I never tackled really big bowls. And even if I get a larger lathe in the future I will probably keep this one as well. I will put below the link to the site so you can check the specs. Cheers! Daniel www.grizzly.com/products/Heavy-Duty-Wood-Lathe-18-x-47-/G0733?Page&.com
Thanks for your response. You should consider an european lathe, a Magma black line or Hapfo Performer. Great lathes! But of course, you know what you need.
I hope you understand that was a joke? But I really believed that you lived in South America. I Think Mike Waldt said so in a video. But I might have misunderstood that. But that doesn´t change anything. You make beautiful things.
+Willem Kossen Hi Willem! Thank you very much for your comment my friend! A chuck is really useful, and believe me, after using them for some time, it was a bit difficult for me to decide to do this series of videos without using a chuck. But I realize that many of my subscribers don't have one, so I wanted to show a different method to hold a piece. I am glad you found this helpful. Cheers! Daniel
Hi Scott! Thank you, my friend, for the comment. I alternatively use them or not. People argue that it is dangerous to do it, because it can grab in the chuck or somewhere. Other argue that they protect their hands. I guess you could find arguments in favor or using or not. Particularly, I find them useful when turning very dry wood. The chips of this wood can come out of the lathe at speed and sometimes hot and be a bother on your hands, particularly the one closer to the work. Since sometimes I turn right handed and sometimes left handed, I guess I wear both just in case. If you are turning slow or green wood, you probably can turn barehanded. I have had small cuts on the fingers or the hand itself that could have been prevented by the gloves. Nothing serious but a bother. And I never got them entangled with anything. I guess, as always, you have to use your best judgement and what your gut is telling. If your gut feeling gives you a sense of insecurity wearing gloves, do not use them. Sorry I can not tell you much more, hope this helps! Cheers! Daniel

I see you turn wearing gloves. what are your thoughts about it?
Hi Scott! Thank you, my friend, for the comment. I alternatively use them or not. People argue that it is dangerous to do it, because it can grab in the chuck or somewhere. Other argue that they protect their hands. I guess you could find arguments in favor or using or not. Particularly, I find them useful when turning very dry wood.
