Carved Rim Bowl Display

- A small batch run of turned rim bowls I plan on giving retailers who wholesale my toy tops. This is a combination of CNC, hand tools and wood turning.

Nice project. Just a thought - Spray the wood before V-cut or better - Use Cactus Juice and vac chamber - draw out air and replace with PEG that dries and stabilizes the wood - makes it stronger and a bit heaver. Check out Resin carvers - bake the wood, Put in chamber and draw out air and have it below the level of Cactus Juice and it will replace the air. Use left over again on next job. Better carving and better turning soft wood.
If you add labor, or steps to a project you add cost. Cheater to use better wood than poplar.
I appreciate your honesty.
Thanks
Love the way you are always thinking of ways to support your family. Bowl and tops sure do look good. Good luck with many sales.
Thanks
Thank you, Shawn! Your ideas inspire me and I learn so much from your channel.
Thanks
Lettering with the CNC was a good idea, but a laser would probably be much better. Laser engravers have come down considerably in price, a good machine would be around $2000. I use the laser to place the maker's mark on my projects and it works great.
That turned out really nice, I hope the tops sell well for you!
Thanks
That was interesting! I have been wondering about using a CNC machine with turned projects, but was hesitant to put a finished piece on the CNC machine. Cutting first makes sense! And making those outside lines thicker worked really well. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Great video! I really like how you solve problems you encounter without a ton of hassle.
Thanks
Very nice project and informative video. I wasn't expecting to see you turn across the lettering - brave ... with nice results. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
A very interesting idea. Another reason to have a CNC in a small shop. I hope your attempt to sell the tops in stores is successful.
Thanks
Inspiring and informative channel, love it.
In regards to chip out with carving, (and I have no experience) is there a material you could coat the wood surface to be carved, that would hold the fibers together a bit while carving. Then sand it off after?
Thanks, Gary
Always enjoy watching your videos - you must be the best teacher on youtube! Using Aspire for the lettering, consider creating a 3D model in Aspire with the top surface rounded over as you plan to finish the boul where the lettering is. You can then create your text, assign a V cave tool path to it and also select the option in the toolpath config to "Project toolpath onto 3D model". This way the toolpath will cut the letters all the way down to the finished depth across the rounded profile, allowing for the curved profile, so it will carve deeper where necessary. Then when you trim the edge of the boul on the lathe to your desired profile (the same as the 3D model you've created) the lettering and circle lines will be cut to the proper depth overall. Well worth a try.
Good idea, still learning that program.
Yes, that sounds good in theory and does work but you may be forgetting that the bowls are turned individually with no guarantee that the curve is consistent between bowls. Without that consistency, even by as little at 0.002 the vcarve will not be uniform. If there is a way to overcome this please let me know. Thanks!
@@robertwelch5584 Yes I realise that and it was only a suggestion. However, I'd be willing to bet somebody with WTE's obvious knowledge and experience would give it a good go.
@@redkite200 Thanks for replying and I'm not trying to beat you down or be a hater. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out a way to make that work and am hoping as you pointed out that someone out there would reply and say all you have to do is ... Take care
@@robertwelch5584 I'm not a turner so I don't want to sound like I know the answers at that end of things. (In theory) a couple of thing come to mind. I'd try carving the lettering as I suggested and then filling the text in with the colour. That way when you begin turning the piece, you may be able to see the text as you turn the roundover profile and be able to trim it just right by checking progress as you go. The other option that comes to mind would be to create a profile template. As the profile is already defined in Aspire I think you should be able to reproduce that in 2D and cut that shape to scale. Again I would think, you'd need to check the profile as you turn against the template. How does that sound?
another great video. I don't do wood turning, but do cnc machining. Soft woods, and (grainy woods - e,g, ash) are best if mill across the grain. I reckon some wood hardener may help.
Thanks
Cool video. I am curious if soaking the carved side of the wood for 30 minutes to an hour or so in some boiled linseed oil or some super thinned shellac and letting it dry before running the cnc would help with the tear out. I have tried that before on a really old and very dry piece of mahogany and a piece of teak that I turned. It worked really well in that particular situation.

That'd work but would add an inordinate amount of time. It'd be cheaper to spend more on better material in my opinion.
Great concept for passive sales of small quick to turn items that bring in an income stream. Would add small items that are seasonal in nature Easter, Christmas etc to increase income, a very cleaver but basic idea. Well done, you have seen a niche for your smalls and gone for it, love it. Will you give feedback on how it works out for you. Bob
I have learned so much from you. Thank you!
Thanks
Nice tips man!
Thanks
Enjoy & learn something new from every video. Thanks.
Thanks
Top man. Another great worthwhile video. Thank you.
Thanks
Would stabilizing the Poplar with Cactus Juice reduce tear out ? Still like other hardwoods for visual appeal but Poplar is usually a lot cheaper
That'd add more time, material and cost than I'm willing to give a way. Be cheaper to buy better material.
How much did that poplar board cost???
$900 for a pallet of 1600 bf off Craigslist 9 years ago.
Could you explain the oiling process you talked about? I have never finished a project like that and I would like to do how it helps.
once per day for a week, once a week for a month, then once a month for a year then as needed. That was the standard practice for centuries before big companies started adding chemical dryers to their products.
That's really awesome. And people wonder why older things last longer than things today. They didn't take any shortcuts.
Have you considered local antique shops, Texas Cracker Barrels, local gifty shops?
maybe in future. toy stores seemed best fit to start.
20:38 if you have to move your head, it isn't at the same time though lol
Try the Cracker Barrel gift shop.
I own a toy store in Virginia and would love to sell your tops! I think they would do great at the register.
If you’ll email me via my website I’m sure we can set something up.
I can make a top or a tool but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want one you made.
Thanks
XLNT video presentation. Cool marketing idea you did yourself proud. I've turned some pill / toothpick holders in poplar ... I don't like it at all.
ya, it's a secondary wood for furniture not turning.
Where can I get wood for tops?
I buy my stock from a normal hardwood dealer.
wortheffort and I need to find them... please shoot me the best site or any site.
@@11freida Uh... google your city for hardwood dealers.
why dont you just sand the rim of the bowl
cut before scrape, scrape before sand, sand before burn....
Sell to the businesses with the offer of custom top designs for the shop? They can write them off as advertising then...
How would you customize a top without adding more labor or time? These are commodity type products.
@@wortheffort hmm, yeah. It wasn't a very well thought through suggestion! Still there maybe something in marketing to the business - if you batch something with their brand on...
