I like how you don't even mention that your fingers are bleeding, a true craftsman.
So what's a little pain......
My 6th grade woodshop teacher Mr Wilmarth(?) got a hunk of wood for me and took the corners off of it on a jointer. He set it up on a lathe for me, gave me a roughing gouge and told me to "have at it".The idea was to make a wine bottle shaped lamp. I came close. Later on a friend had an old vintage small lathe with a 2 step pulley for a belt I can't find for it. I added a motor and made a couple of things from it. Wanting something bigger I bought a Harbor Freight 12 x 36 lathe later on and built my own stand for it as the legs that came with it made it too short. I made a couple of face plates in Machine Shop years ago. One was 4 in wide 1/4 in thick with a 1 x 8 TPI hub on it yhat I cut from a 3 in long round stock. These vids help a lot! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I have recently refurbished a 1940’s home made lathe but it only has a static tail . I needed a way to drill an accurate hole fir a home made screw chuck. Youve put on the right track with the hand drilling👍👍👍
I bought a 2nd hand lathe a few years ago before I retired. I have never even fired it up because so many youtube tutorials assume knowledge of all of the basics and neglect initial setting up. Your video has filled in some of the blanks and I now feel confident to get started. Thanks.
I just started out!
I've been turning for 56 years now and still use the faceplate on a lot of my work !
A little trick to get it centered on your work line up the screw holes with the cross 4 cross lines on your work!
First lathe channel I’ve subscribed to. No previous knowledge assumed, really clear explanations and no feeling of being patronised. Like one or two of the other commentators, I’m a total newbie and other videos have just filled me with trepidation and the sense that I’ve made a mistake.
A big thank you.
Thanks for this video! I wouldn't have had the confidence to try the double stick tape mounting method without seeing you doing it. I'm new to faceplate turning and needed this info.
Thanks sam, this vid just shows that no matter how experienced we think we are it always brings us down to earth to watch basic instruction videos to reinforce and remind us of procedures that not only help us turn but also keep us safe, hope your recovering well and looking forward to future vid's. Terry, Ireland.
Hello Terry in Ireland, top of the morning to you. (that is the extent of my Irish ha ha)
I started to do these fundamental videos shortly before my accident. So this may give me a chance to regroup and start over myself. Thanks
Sam
Great video. I have only done spindle turning for several years. I want to expand to bowls and your instructions on the faceplate are excellent.
Hi Sam,,I just got into the wood turning hobby,,I luv your videos ,,thanks so much for sharing your talents with us and I hope you're fully recovering from your accident,, God bless,,
Sam, just a follow up note. I'm new to Woodturning and have been following you and watching your video's faithfully. I've learned a lot, and the instruction is great. Now the good news for me. My lathe came in a week ago, and I finished putting it together this weekend. It's a Nova 1624-44. Given that it has been a few months since I turned at Woodcraft, I have decided to go back and follow your series from Fundamentals 1, through the steps. I really appreciate the effort and the information. I'm certain that following your steps will assist me to become a better turner.
Just getting into turning and have been searching for someone that breaks things down as well as you do. I like your style.
Jeremy, thanks Let me know if you ever have a question. Sam
Some really great tips there. Glad to have found your video series. We're getting ready to try our hands at wood turning. Takes a good bit of the mysteries away to see these videos!
Great information! Glad I found this series. I'm a brand new turner having only made pens and wanting to do some bigger things. This was very helpful. My lathe came with a 3" diameter face plate.
Great video Sam. Thankyou for sharing that. I sure hope your hand is healing up. Gotta be real hard now to hold a cup of coffee.
Matt
Sam, this is another excellent video with lots of good information.
Thank you Sam for the invaluable lesson on faceplates.
There is healing in the wood, Sam. You continue to teach us that. Thanks for all your school lessons. Gracias por su vida y su voz.
And I thank you for your very kind words. Healing in the one-I like that.
Sam
Great video Sam, I'm loving these basics videos. I always learn something new. Heal well and heal fast, you'll be back to turning in no time!
Thanks Zac
Thank you for presenting that video as the topic managed to answer some of the basic's, I was hoping to come across as I journey down the path of wood!
Thanks for the video, very informative and not preachy. I've subscribed.
Another beginner here, thank you for bringing out the simple details.
Thanks for watching. Sam
Very informative. Love it.
Thanks for sharing
For a yet to be turner, this was a heck of a find. After this tutorial, I feel like I'm not making a mistake getting a lathe. Thank you,
Great job
Very good, if I can help decide on a lathe for you, let me know. My email is samandcheryle@gmail.com Sam
Sam, I hope you know that you inspired me in so many ways. I have three wood lathes now, went from 40000 dollars a year, to 12000, lost my dad, and my hobby has helped me thru, some tough times. I'd give the tips of my phalanges for the knowledge gained from you. Everytime my saw starts, I will think twice, thanks again, my Wyoming brother!
Thank you very much. I am not sure what to say. It is difficult to know how I touch other people speaking through a computer. But because of comments like this I have no doubt in my mind I will continue to turn and make videos. Thank you, Sam
Informative video. Thank you!
A true woodworker! Get your ding for the day and don't even miss a beat.
Never would've believed that double stick tape. Thats a new one on me, thanks
Great video! Can’t wait to try this.
Thank you for the informative content sir!
Thanks. Lots of great information.
Sam,,, well done video. Very well appreciated too.
Thanks again for watching. Sam
Excellent video Sam, some very important and useful information. Hope your healing well my friend.
Take care
Mike
Hello Mike Nice to hear from you. I was out in the shop yesterday turning a small lidded box. My hand is not really too functional at this point, but I see that I will be fine in a month or so. I have had other surgeries, like knee replacements.
So I am an old pro at recovering from surgeries. The best therapy for me has been all the really kind comments from all over the world, and the support I have gotten from people like you. It means everything to me.
Thanks Sam
Mike Waldt ‘
Wonderful and helpful. Thank you. I’m brand new to wood turning and so excited to get started 😊
Hi Sam: thanks for the video, some great information, hope you have a speedy recovery, Best wishes Harry
Thanks Harry, talk to you later
Sam
Great Video. Good pointers.
great video - thank you
This helps a lot!
Awesome video. It flowed so well that I was shocked I had been watching for 19 minutes. Get better soon :)
I know, I did not intend to do a 19 minute video. But I'm glad it went smoothly for you.
Sam
that tape is AMAZING
Thanks for the helpful information. I hope you heal fast!
Thank you very much, I am very bored and wanting to get back into my shop thanks, Sam
I can understand the boredom. The flu is keeping me from my shop currently. I dont want to compare my little flu with your serious situation of course. Its just a fact that any hardship is dealt with much better with a bit of woodturning. Therapy, thats what it is. I see quite a few woodturners that do so with various limitations, in fact, there arent any likitations as far as i can see, even though it doesnt feel that way. I just hope that my limited ability with the english language (im Dutch) doest take the nuance and positivity out of what im trying to say. Hope to see you turning again soon!
Willem Kossen I can understand what you're saying completely. I do agree the best therapy for me is to get into my shop and just do something, and forget about my hand. I was out today and yesterday for a couple hours. I am just testing myself to see what I need to do to continue. I don't think I'll need to make a lot of changes. Thank you very much for your words of encouragement. Sam
great video i'm new to turning so this is very informative. i am however a guitar builder and i use a ton of double sided tape that is i used to until i figured out a cool substitute that works better. cover the glue block in two layers of masking tape also cover the work piece with masking tape, spread medium ca glue on the glue block and spray accelerator on the work piece, press them together and you have a bond stronger than any double sided tape, its cheaper but the really cool thing is when you are done just peal the tape off and you are set, no more fussing with double sided tape. trust me it really works I build high end guitars with really expensive woods so i can't take a chance of the piece flying off the template when i'm routing. try it out, hope this helps.
Eddie
This is perhaps the best ever tip I have received. This is a really good idea. I WILL try it and with your permission I will pass it along to my viewers. I can't wait to try it. Thanks so much. And off the topic a bit but I have a cousin named Ed. Not a very common name but one of my favorites. Sort of an old fashioned name. Anyway thanks, Sam (another oldie)
thanks, info that I was looking far.
Afew years ago l got my hand in the saw,a new saw at that. Next day I ordered a sawstop
,never been sorry. God bless,Ralph
Ralph
Yes I am considering that myself. I have a grizzly 3 hp cabinet makers saw. It is a fine machine. And I really can't blame the machine for what happened. I also have to consider other people who are in my shop working. I think maybe your story has encouraged me to consider a saw stop. Can I ask what model you got and if it was very expensive?
I see that some of them are $1500. Or so. Some of them are really very expensive and I don't need a table saw that bad. But I would consider one it was 16 or $1800. I would appreciate any information on that saw you have.
Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER I bought the professional cabinet grade saw with the 5hp motor and table extensions along with several other accessories . it is truly a great saw and it makes working with a table saw so safe. We use the table saw a lot in the shop. I wanted this to be my last table saw I would buy so I got the best one. It cost 4,300 delivered but they do have less expensive models that I think would work for you just fine. to see it work is amazing make sure and order an extra brake or two.
Sorry about your accident. Love your videos. Keep up the good work
Charles
Thank you very much for watching my videos
Sam
12:56 I know it's not cheese but...
Great teaching I'm just starting to seriously think about turning and the blood and busted knuckles really drive home how much fun this craft is.
Thank you for the great information and the cool lesson.
Good video, Glad you are healing up.
I am always amazed at the strength of turners double sided tape. I should use it more often as it is quite handy on many projects. I am still using a roll that came with my first mini lathe bought used. It was from Woodcraft and great stuff.
Mike
Finally got to reading your article.....Very nicely written. Thanks for watching.
Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER
Thanks for the kind words. I don't know about you but I find it a lot easier to come up with a video idea than an article. Videos are easier because you don't need final approval of the video before posting!
Love your videos. That bloody hand at 10:10 “Take twenty-eight” is unintentionally hilarious.
Not blood this time, just stain....
Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER That’s good. I still laughed. Reminded me of the woodworker scene in UHF.
To make it easy to center a faceplate, try this.
1) When you get a faceplate, measure the radius of the screwholes and mark that on the faceplate. 2) After laying out the crosshairs on the blank and roughing it out on the bandsaw, then set a compass to the radius and scribe a circle centered on the crosshairs. 3) The intersections of the crosshairs and the circle locate the screwholes (and thus the faceplate) perfectly.
+Bob Blarney Great tip, Thanks Sam
Good tip, thanks.
Excelente idea.
Gracias Sam
Thank you Sam very informative video , i never expected that double sided tape will be so strong..all the best
Yiannis (Athens Greece)
It is always so nice to hear from the world....Athens! Very cool. Thanks for watching my video. I did not go back and to see just what I did in the video. I do use double-stick tape sometimes instead of glue. I also use the tailstock 98% of the time for safety I may remove it briefly to finish off the little nib. Just be careful Regards Sam
Yiannis I did go back and find the clip where I started turning the little bowl. I did not use my tailstock. But this piece was very small. I usually don't rely on the tape for much bigger pieces-be safe when doing this. Sam
Just found your channel. I enjoyed my first video and I'm looking forward to watching many more. Planning on making lots of sawdust this fall here next door in western Nebraska. Thanks.
Thanks for watching....Sam
I also just discovered you, and I’m just getting started. A neighbor just gifted me a basic lathe for Christmas, so I’m trying to learn all the basics about tools and motors and techniques before I jump in. Looking forward to your other videos. You have a new subscriber. 🙂
@@PatrickSalsbury Thanks, let me know if you have any questions. Sam
Good stuff :)
Hello Sam this is Tom from Louisville Kentucky. That's a great video on the very often overlooked faceplate. Such a valuable and versatile piece of equipment that's usually used for growing dust. I'm guilty of that very thing. This is a great reminder.
When I watched your video about the accident my heart sunk. I hated to hear it so much. We just can't put it into words. I wish there was something I could do to help you in your complete and speedy recovery. I broke both of my femurs at the same time. Once the muscle memory comes back it gets much easier to get on with doing what you were doing normally before the accident. It takes time but you will get there. Just do what the physical therapist (terrorist) tell you to do and don't rush it. You will be back to 100% before you know it. Take care friend.
Thanks Tom,
Nice to hear from the bluegrass State. We used to vacation around Covington Kentucky. The healing is going fine and I have been doing a little bit of turning just to see what I'm up against. The main problem at this time is I have a bit of swelling which were best me from gripping a tool much. But I will get there.
Thanks Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER oh yes Sam you will get there. Don't try to do to much at once it will just take longer to heal. I know that's not what you want to hear but unfortunately that's how it is. I hope you can come back to Kentucky sometime we would love to have ya! I have a huge walnut tree in my back yard that has your name on it! Keep your spirits up because your hand will heal and everything will be back to normal before you know it.
Incredible,theres more snow in wyoming than in norway,anyway love the series sam keep em coming!
Atle
We actually got 6 inches of snow last night. Where I live it is very dry. But we have gotten a lot of moisture this winter. I could imagine you get a lot of snow in Norway. Wish I had some of your Masur birch...... I can get it but it is very expensive
Sam
Well,if you pay for shipping i can chop down as much as you need,i have accsess to a small forrest strip that needs trimming!
Thank you just bought my first lathe and it has no motor. But I do have a bnib 3/4hp baldor 3ph and a teco fm50 120v 1ph input and 220v 3ph output VFD inverter. I know it's overkill for a shitty lil lathe w/8" and 16" bed but it's what I got.
I am only gonna be making tool and chisel handles and knobs for Stanley bench planes....
Thanks again. I've used faceplates, but never with waste blocks or double-sided tape. Looking forward to trying your off-centre technique. Heal well.
Adrian
Thanks for watching, just be careful with the off-center stuff. Don't stand in the line of fire. Thanks Sam
Thanks for the advice. Face shield in order as well!
Cheers
Ade
Than,k you Sam , good face plate presentation , Quick tip , get rid of the compact florescent lamps in you flood lights . They are very fragile , and they sometimes pop when at the end of their life , or when the internal electronics malfunction , or bumped
They produce, lots of tiny , razor sharp shards , and dust from the interior coating , that contains mercury
Get some dome shaped LED lamps in the 2800 to 3400 range of colors , they are much more durable , and contain no mercury , and are not affected by cold temps
Thanks, I will check that out. Sam
Are you talking about the lights on my ceiling? This video is from 2015. I have a new shop with great LED lights. Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER sorry . I have been going through some past videos , I was mentioning the flex neck spot lights over grinder over your shoulder , the twisted tube , I have had bad experiences with them , popping when changing them
Garry no worries thanks for the heads up. I just wasn’t sure which light you were talking about thanks again Sam
Just subscribed
Great video Sam. I am still very much a novice turner so I find these basic videos so useful. Can I ask, what is the make of the 3/8 bowl gouge that you are using? Cheers, Steve
Oh my GOD! That snow!! GORGEOUS!!! And the tree! Truly you live in a breathtaking place!! God really is the greatest artist! :)
This was really outstanding! Thanks for detailing what can be done with a faceplate which I would not have thought of.
And the tree was nice too. :-)
John from Australia. Such a nice and clever man shouldn't have to suffer.
What on earth did you do to yourself.
Get well and turning soon.
John
We got 6 inches of snow last night and it is windy and cold. As you are in Australia, does that mean it is summer?
It has to be summer someplace. What did I do to myself? I keep asking myself that same question. Thanks for watching.
Sam
A very interesting video thank you.
Woodys DIY Thanks for watching
Sam
Nice video, Sam. How about wooden faceplates? Using a Beall tap, or other brand tap appropriately sized to the spindle of your lathe(s), you can eliminate the need for screws if you only are interested in using a glue block or double sided tape.
John
I think this is an awesome idea. I simply don't have a tap that I can use for this. I think the possibilities are endless for using A piece of wood that has been tapped. Thanks, Sam
I am looking spur drive tip that screws on to a spindle. How can I find one of these? I haven't had any luck yet. Also is there a special name for this?
Sam, I was thinking "you healed up good brother!", then I saw your note about before the accident. Get well soon!
Cactus
Yes when I put this video up I thought maybe I would give people the impression I was joking about my hand. I wish I were joking. I have one more video in this series I will put up in the next day or so. Then my videos will be done with a couple of fingers gone.
Sam
Thanks Sam for prompt reply.
Whilst you are digging yourself out or in, whatever the case may be; we have 38 degrees Celsius and air conditioner working hard and I'm not. Get well soon.
John,
That's 100 degrees F.....Lucky you. But your time will come. Our summer seems so short and winter never ends. Always warm in the shop. Sam
The Tesa tape as actually available in diy shops in my country. Its used to tape insulation material underneath floors and behind walls etc. Ive used it a few time already. Good stuf. One thing to be aware of is it will deteriorate over time and old tape is hard to remove, leaves a sticky guewy mess that needs terpentine or thinner to get rid of. So dont leave it on there too long and use it up within lets say a year. In my country 'Netherlands' its not that expensive as you said. Might be a European company ?
Willem, I agree, I have left that tape on way too long and it is amazing how hard it is to separate two pieces of wood.
I could actually use it more than I do I just forget sometimes. Thanks for watching
Sam
Hi Sam, informative as usual. Impressed by the use of double sided tape on a waste block, particularly for small turnings. Also it was very generous of you to share the rough plank turning at the end - an interesting and novel design. A lot of the challenge is how best to hold wood of different sizes and shapes safely for turning. A question for you: How and when would you use a 2" tailstock faceplate designed for use on a revolving centre?
Ray, your question is about using a 2 inch tail stock faceplate on a revolving center. I am not sure if I understand how a face plate can be used on the tailstock. Glad to answer this but I just need some clarification Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Hi Sam, just bought a heavy duty revolving centre and one of the accessories with it as an extra purchase was a 2" faceplate. I've seen one used on You Tube to hold a piece for offset turning, the turner had a wooden plate and cushion material attached to the faceplate. The workpiece was then held between the cushion and the spindle chuck in such a way that it was offset 'centered' in the chuck with the body offset on the cushion. The body had already been turned and finished, including the base. Just wondered if you knew of any other possible uses on the tailstock. It must be a fairly common use (at least for a minority!) for the manufacturer to make this faceplate an accessory for the revolving centre. Any ideas?
Thanks@@RayShaw007 for the explanation. But I would like to see a photo or a link to the actual live center with the faceplate. Thanks Sam
And here is a blood transfusion! Great video thanks
Nope, just red stain......
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER I just ordered a 2.75 inch 4 jaw chuck from WEN will that be good enough for small bowls and cups?
@@flatratetechgaming3849 I am not really familiar with that jaw set, but I think it should work fine for smaller bowls or cross-grain projects. I would add that some 2" jaw set are barely OK for bowls as they can be a bit wimpy. I believe they are better suited for boxes and spindle work. But most of us started out with this 2" jaws and got by turning 12-14 inch bowls...... I am sure these will work fine for you. Sam
Thank you for doing these kind of video’s. Being fairly new to turning. I have a Jet 10/14 and I think I’m ready to up grade. Up would you recommend? I was thinking about Laguna. Thanks again
I am not sure about a Laguna. I have never owned one. I have had several friends with issues on the laguna with motors or start switches. I think I would lean toward a larger Jet. I think Jet is a good choice. It depends on how much you have to spend, the size of lathe needed, and what projects you will turn. Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER thanks for the reply. I ordered the powermatic 2014 with the 13” extension bed. Should have it in a few days!!
Great video. Always wanted to take up turning, but always got distracted by something else. I may do it yet thanks to your setup tips. Thanks
Side note. What did you do to your hand at10:00?
It is just red stain. Sam😁
Sam, you mentioned TESA double stick tape. I went to Packard website and didn't find it. I went to Woodcraft and Rockler sites and they list turners tape but no mention of brand. Then I went to the TESA site and there are so many different ones listed there I couldn't make a decision. Do you have an identifying number for the tape you use? Thanks and get well quickly.
Bobby
I used to get the double stick tape from craft supply USA. I can't seem to find it on their website. I just go to eBay and do a search and it always comes up. Thanks
Sam
What type of glue do you use?
What does size 12 screw actually mean? No such thing as screw sizes in the metric world, they simply are what they are in diameter (mm).
The 12 in this case actually means 12 threads per inch. Its not the diameter. the Diameter of the screws hes using is 0.216in.
Thank you for this informative video. How deep does the tenon have to be for the chuck to grab it?
That really depends on the weight of the piece and the diameter. I am talking generally about tenons. And also the size of the chuck jaws. I did not go back and watch the entire video. Was I talking about a tenon? Sam
No, you weren't. I'm just new and trying to figure it out. I never used a chuck before.
I just know that your piece is not supposed to bottom out in the chuck.
@@robira1313 Good, I think you understand. Years ago when I was trying to figure this out-I made my tenons too long a few times, and they actually broke off. So this is an important issue. Be safe. Sam
How do I remove the faceplate? Is it clockwise or counter clockwise?
Do you have a part number or UPC code number for the TESA tape?
I am sure that Craft supply carries this tape. I don't have a part #. Sam
Could you get the product number for the tape made by Tesa There seem to be a variety of different types double stick This would be greatly appreciated great idea
The last Test tape I bought was from Ebay-here is a link. www.ebay.com/itm/Tesa-4934-Double-Sided-Tape/402487876874
Make sure the shipping is not outrageous
Sam
Thanks for the video, I learn something new every time I watch these. I noticed that you have a fluorescent lamp on your lathe. Unfortunately this type of bulb is not very safe, as they break easily and the glass goes everywhere. You might want to switch to an LED bulb because it won't break unless you wack it with a hammer. They also last a lot longer and are cheaper in the long run.
Also, in the comments below you mention fixing up a lathe & using a treadmill motor and controller. Can you make a video about this conversion process? I did search your you tube site and didn't see one. Thanks again for the help.
Lee it was not me who mentioned using a treadmill motor for a lathe. Must have been another viewer. I have never had one of these florescent bulbs break. Sam
Sam, Thanks for another lesson and information. At my stage, it is really valuable
What't that red stuff on you hand? I didn't see ya painting anything red. :-) JimE
That is red dye on my hand. Someone else mentioned that. It was not good timing to have that on my hand, huh?
But then I am a joker-ha ha.
Sam
How do you find the center of the glue block when you glue on a turned, but partially finished piece, so that the piece is in the center of the glue block?
I did go back and watch this video. I am almost 100% certain that I glued the blank of wood on before I did any turning to it. I really don't attach a glue block after I've done any turning. So from the very beginning I just glue the rough cut piece of wood onto the glue block. Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks. I think I found the answer in your video on making a bowl with two faceplates and waste blocks (Jan '21).
Sam, you refer to the Tesa tape but I can't find anything on the Tesa website that mentions tape for wood turning. Tesa makes dozens of different tapes but I would like to know which Tesa product number you are using. They use numbers like 4939, 4944, etc. Could you look at your tape and see which number it is. I'd like to use the same tape as you. Thanks for a great series of videos.
I used to get this tape at Craft Supply USA but I can't find it anymore. I could not find it anywhere and my tape is old and has no number on it. Sam
Thanks for trying Sam. Keep up the great work you do producing these videos. I've learned a lot from watching them.
What kind of lathe do you have there? Thanks.
It is a Powermatic 3520B
How did you find center on your piece?
I usually mark it with the live center when I have it up for support. I noticed in this video I marked the center with a tool. I hope this helps. Sam
#14 sheetmetal flat head square drive screws.
Thanks, I will check those screws out. Sam
Remember don't bleed on your work price it will mark it, and don't bleed on your tools they'll rust
Did you get those screws on the internet?
No I just got them at the hardware store.
Sam
Thanks for the helpful video, Sam, I always learn from your demos. The off-center project at the end is fascinating. Is there anywhere we can see the finished piece?
I have not finished that piece.......????? someday
Sam
Thank you for your videos. English is a foreign language for me, so could you please help me with a missing word: about 18:20 you warn not to use screws in what kind of wood? Could you write this, so I can look up the word in my dictionary. Thank you.
Gundula.
I was saying NOT to use screws in "end grain" The screws do not hold very well. I was talking about the waste block or glue block. It is better if the piece of wood you use is "cross grain" Hope this helps. Sam
WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thank you very much. Now i know what you mean: KEINE Schrauben in Hirnholz verwenden. Die halten da nicht wirklich, aufgrund des Faserverlaufs. ☺
I am a machinist, i love the different kinds of metal, but wood is so fascinating.
yup.. drywall screws are #6.. used to be able to find #8s
Ahahahahahah the ending is godtier
godtier?
What tool is that?
Liam, I am sorry. I use different tools in this video. At what point in the video are you referring to? Sam
Ran out of marker ink so used blood instead.
Relic Hunter wtf
@@danialglimp2121 hahaha.
cold
So if you only have a face plate you basically can only turn half a bowl? :(
+Taen
I had to think about your question. But it is a very good one and a brain teaser as well. OK, the answer: in the old days, years ago, turners would attach a faceplate AND waste block which is glued to the bottom of a bowl blank and turn both the inside and the outside in that orientation. THEN, simply part off the glue block from the bowl and sand the bottom. Sam
+WYOMINGWOODTURNER Ok, makes sense. I see where you could do that. Thanks for the reply and great tips! Very helpful for us guys on a budget. Keep up all the great work!
+Taen I'm on a budget too! There's a great book for us on securing wood on the lathe, including plenty of DIY options, from a frugal woodworker named Doc Green. Here's the link on Amazon, about $15: www.amazon.com/Fixtures-Chucks-Woodturning-Everything-Secure/dp/1565235193?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 I loaned my copy to a friend, and he went and bought 3 copies for himself and his friends!
1:23 thats what she said
I am woodturing opretor this like
Blood, sweat, and saw dust!
Why don't you just line up the screw holes across the two diameters you have drawn. No guessing about whether it's centered or not. It's cen tered.
John, you found an old video....I had more fingers then. But you are right. Lining up 4 holes would have been a better approach. Thanks for the tip. Sam
Discrimination! Some of us only have 3/4" 16-tpi, That doesn't make me any less of a man..............
Ha ha nice video!
