  • Woodturning this driftwood log vase/hollow form was a challenging project for a beginner like me. I thought it was going to fly off the lathe the whole time! Let me know if you have any tips for hollowing wood that's long and narrow! My tools:
    Resin: amzn.to/2nUhFPg
    Finishing Oil: amzn.to/2oAFPP6
    Carbide Chisels: amzn.to/2NUiEdq
    Face Shield: amzn.to/2Ac4Cvj
    Center Finder: amzn.to/2ld06Ju
    Jet Lathe: amzn.to/2NSotba
    Nova Chuck: amzn.to/32tJvkm
    Respirator: amzn.to/2N7mxfm
    Miter Saw: amzn.to/2ZpjuBW
    Drill: amzn.to/2XtnW0G
    Square: amzn.to/2VaCNzW
    Clamps: amzn.to/2UvPSiZ

    If you look not very hard at all, you can see where I took a nice chunk out of the top... At least I was able to glue it back this time!

    I'm no expert, but it looks like your next purchase should be a vacuum pot to stabilize the wood before using the pressure pot with the epoxy. Good job, and thanks for the video

    I think anyone in their right mind would call this a challenge, beginners like us, especially so 😁 So good on ya for meeting the challenge 👍
    If I were to try a long vase like this I'd start with the forstner bit and add bit extenders until it's deep enough. Then figure a worst case of 'stick fingers in to feel how smooth he got it' and work to that depth only. Should be doable don't ya think ? Or purchase some honking big and long chisels, say 3 feet 😁 -Mike

    Why use the resin? I'm curious. Is it because the drift wood is so soft?

    • @CookWoodworks
      @CookWoodworks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. It's a pressure pot, but I would have used a vacuum chamber on this if I had one. I really just wanted to stabilize the wood, but this was my only option

    • @gregmullins1296

    Hello.
    I watch your videos with interest. But unfortunately I do not speak English.
    I'm interested in the Turning Tool you use. How durable are they? do they require sharpening? Tell us please, if not it is difficult.

    Ciao Cook, ci sono due sistemi che uso , 1° una fresa tipo Forstener lunga 12 cm diametro 55
    crea un foro dove può entrare oltre la fresa anche il mandrino della punta in seguito entra anche tutta la contropunta del tornio e sono riuscito a forare fino a circa 26 cm.
    2° modo se hai un bravo fabbro puoi far prolungare lo stelo della fresa quanto vuoi. ciao

    Turned out really nice. But I'm not a big fan of resin. I like to see wood shavings coming off a turning, not those resin streamers. I'm all for filling knot holes and cracks with resin but on so many projects you end up seeing more resin than wood. But, to each their own.

      I mean, so what if he wants to video it. Maybe videoing it is self satisfying. Who’s to say that you or him knows more about design, form and shapes, it’s all very subjective and personal taste. What are your credentials to make your judgement, he has displayed his to me.

One is the founder of the South west Association of wood turners and many of my club members have been very instrumental in my growth. If you can not face constructive criticism, then don't show your work and everything is fine. Evidently he is not like that and looking to become famous.
