#woodturning #woodworking #turnawoodbowl - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hello Kent, I caution anyone who uses 5 min epoxy around moisture. I learned the hard way on a very expensive RC speed boat I built. I used 5 min epoxy to construct it because it was fast and I hadn’t learned patients yet. Between the vibration and water which naturally gets into the radio box the epoxy delaminated from any place the the water touched the wood. After 1 season of racing I had a 300.00 pile of wood and epoxy.
I love your channel and the many different ideas you come up with. I continue to learn more and more each time I watch your videos. Thumbs up to ya!!!
I want to grow herbs and little planters like that would be outstanding. Maybe a little larger but what a cool idea.
Enjoy and fresh herbs are the best. Happy Turning!
Thank you for the great idea! I have been caching all of my scrap chunks and now am the proud owner of over 100 pounds of small varied chunks of nice wood that will now be high-graded for future small turnings. The rejects will be added to the BBQ fuel box.
Very nice! Enjoy turning and being warmed by those chunks. Happy Turning!
You can also make excellent bonsai pots this way with a hole in the base and a cut down ridge on the bottom to carve the feet. I like the idea of epoxy to protect the inside.
Ah yes you are right. Maybe even wider shallower versions too. Hm? You’ve got me thinking now. Thanks and Happy Turning!
great stocking stuffer idea for the family.
Awesome idea. I actually enjoy working with these small "scrap" pieces more than turning large items. Another great video. 👍
Thank you, Rodney. Glad you like this one. Happy Turning!
Great little project, good info about the succulents. I didn’t know! Thanks Kent.
Bellísimo! Gracias por compartirlo!

Huh! I have been feeding these pith areas off my bowl blanks into my shop wood stove. Nifty idea. You keep giving great ideas and my stove will starve to death. Or I will be really cold.
Wow great job! Thank you for sharing this project.
Thanks for the inspiration Kent! I haven't touched the lathe in over a year, but this nice little project made me want to get back out there. So much dust on that thing!
Great Tim. Keep turning! 😉
Beautiful!
Hallo aus Deutschland! Schöner kleiner Topf. Um Gefäße abzudichten benutze ich Fasspech. Das ist ein absolut natürliches Mittel mit dem man schon seit jahrhunderten Holz versiegelt.
Einfache Trinkbecher behandel ich gar nicht. Ein guter Whiskey schmeckt aus Holzbechern nicht schlecht.
I use a food safe epoxy on beer mugs that I make and sell. Found it on Amazon of course.
That is a great little project. Cherry is such beautiful wood. I think a little cactus would look great in a little pot like that.
Thank you, John! Yes, good idea on the cactus too. Happy Turning!
Cool build! And who doesn’t love cherry? Something I’ve been using when drilling is a small air line with a ball valve and some line-lock fittings to basically make a cooling air nozzle pointed at the back of the forstner bit. It’s on a magnet so I just attach it to the back of the lathe bed or tail stock, and crack the ball valve open for gentle flow, enough to help clear the chips, but not to blow it all over and into your face! Works awesome. You can either put a quick connect fitting on it for your normal shop air, or I put a T fitting in so I still have my yellow coiled air hose with blow gun there too.
Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing
Very Cool Ben! Thank you for writing and sharing! Happy Turning!
Great project. I have many houseplants and I've been turning many years. I think a wipe-on polyurethane finish would be more water resistant on the outside - you're going to get spills there and I don't think friction polish (shellac base) will look good after getting wet. Love epoxy on the inside. I'll make a bunch of these. I love your channel - the crack-gluing technique is the greatest. Thanks for all you do.
Nice project. I agree that cherry is beautiful wood to turn. Not knowing anything about wood features, I learned to turn on white oak using carbide. I am now trying to master the skew. Your videos have been very helpful.
This is genius! It is easy, Succulents are so expensive now that you can use the growth on one's you have and have a wonderful gift to sell at shows! I do wish you would make more small items to sell that aren't all owls. You are a great tea her and I enjoy learning from you! Thanks!
Oh yes, Ila! If you have the patience to propagate, you can have a forest in no time, free! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Good job, Kent. A nice way to use some small scraps of wood so it doesn't go to waste. One way to make a "cup" so you can drink from it is to use a two-part resin like Total Boat. When cured it is waterproof and food safe. Still looking forward to visiting you in your shop sometime - I am only 30 minutes away.
Awesome Qapla! Thank you for writing and sharing!
Love it
This past Spring, I made a couple of these from scraps. The only thing different was I went to Lowe's and bought a small perennial and a small, clear plastic plant holder with a small lip. I hollowed out the inside to fit the holder. My wife LOVES it and proudly displays it above the kitchen sink window sill! Your video reminded me I should make some as Christmas gifts for my three adult daughters, and two daughters-in-law! Thanks for the reminder. I may even try the epoxy coating. 👍👍👍
Great project, Kent. A whole list of people come to mind to make these as Christmas gifts. Thanks!
Sounds perfect Jim! Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Great little project and Cherry as you said nice like most fruit woods.
Thank you, Lewis! Happy Turning!
I restored a "butcher shop" chopping block after talking with a West Marine reprensative and was told that the West System epoxy is food safe after it is fully cured. The KEY is making certain there is NO uncured resin or harder on the finished piece.
Great work 👏! I'm going to make some of these for my wife. You could even turn another scrap piece of wood for a lid. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Thank you, Stephen! Great idea. Happy Turning!
Since you said you didn't know what would be good for shot glasses, a person who works at my local Woodcraft store turns shot glasses and he coats his with CA (super glue) because it does provide a good, durable, shiny, and most importantly, alcohol resistant finish that is safe to drink from. I also have a large turned mug I got from a ren faire and I talked with the artisan and he coats all his mugs with a product called Envirotex. It is food safe and holds up to alcohol. I've had many a drink from it and it's holding up great. So that's a couple of options for people who want to do that sort of thing.
Envirotex is a brand of clear epoxy resin. It is a good product, but not really unique. Generally speaking, epoxy is non-toxic and food safe once fully cured.
Keith, good points. Thank you for writing and sharing! Happy Turning!
Great work! Just in time for Christmas gifts. Thanks.
Very pretty! Great job Kent!
Thank you, Jeff! Happy Turning!
If any other plant than a succulent will require periodically watering, please drill a 3/8" or 1/2" hole in the bottom to provide drainage.
This is cool. I have some white oak whiskey barrel shot glasses that are about the same size. Finishing them is a pain but they look cool. I think they would make great succulent pots also.
Dang. Your good. What was that friction polish you used?
Thanks Robert! Here you go Friction Polish Finish - amzn.to/3c8kLbz
I love the shape! TBH, I've been "cheating" since I've started to learn to turn by using carbide. However, I just bought bowl gouges (which I've been avoiding because I needed better sharpeming tools which I now have). So, I paid very close attention to how you were holding the gouges. Thank you soooooo much for all of your videos. I know that I am a much better turner becaiuse of your efforts.
Glad to hear you upgraded from carbide tools. Sharp conventional tools will make you a better turner and save on sanding. Get Richard Raffan's book Turning Wood for more details about using your new tools.
Thank you for all your advice!
Michael, Thank you kindly! So glad these have helped you. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Wonderful turning Kent, however I have no idea what a succulent is.
A succulent is a plant, like a cactus, that uses its leaves (Aloe etc.) or stem (cactus) to store water.
Why is there a preference for side-grain bowls vs end-grain bowls?
Matthew,
Good question. Side-grain is easier for larger bowls and the bottom area is stronger and less porous compared to end-grain bowls.
Happy Turning!
Kent
...perfect project for my small lathe...and yours turned out looking great!...👍
So, I'm guessing that you're saying that if I have a piece of wood with a pith, I should turn the pith out of it?!?!?...😉
The pith is the source of cracking and distortion. Avoid it while you're learning turning. Later, you can incorporate it to get funky effects.
Hawkeye, the pith can be trouble some times. Most times. There are some tree species that are more accommodating. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
They make food grade epoxy.
Any brand names you recommend?
@@TurnAWoodBowl I've used a few different brand. Got them off amazon. All seem to work the same.
I love this!
I have a question for you, I tried to find a way to contact you on privately TH-cam but couldn't find it, I found your Instagram though and messaged you there but haven't heard a response yet, figured you haven't seen it so was hoping to let you know here and hope you'll check so I can get a reply :)
