Power carving is very satisfying but creates a heck of a mess when done indoors. I live in a country with a rainy climate but whenever possible I power carve outdoors. I use a large sheet of polythene stretched out over a flat area and turned up against a wall and secured by a brick on a window sill. After a good carving session, it's easy to fold up the polythene containing all of the shavings and empty it into a box or bag for disposal.
What a great project. Keeping the pace of the video up is refreshing. That spelted knot in the project really required some faith! That angle grinder carver you used on the ends to rough the shape...I always use a big chisel and a mallet and I think after watching this clip its actually quite a bit faster! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice. I just used power tools to make a small dough bowl out of Ash that feel on my property. I power carved the rough shape and most of the inside, then finished the inside with gouges. I have made several in the past with hand tools but it wears ya out and took like 9 hours to make a small one. I like to leave the outside contour on mine to make them unique. Some have bug damage and I like to leave it for character as long as it won't compromise the bowl. The inside usually turns out very asymmetrical because I follow the contours left from the live edge as well. But I have decided power tools is definitely the way to go. I knocked this last one out in about 2 hrs.
Got it done, and it looks beautiful man. I recently picked up some carving attachments for my grinder and you've given me some inspiration. Great work!
I have got to get a grinder and those wheels.. I have loads of cedar and pecan just waiting for me to heal up enough to make some saw dust. Awesome Bowl by the way!
That must be some soft wood, I just got done making a waving flag out of 2x4s and it took me almost 5 weeks to carve it. I think you did a wonderful job
You sir are a true master. I’m an Aussie and milling timber and power carving are not common here so any material such as chainsaw mill attachments have to be made or ordered from the US; as do all power carving attachments, if we can get them as a lot don’t ship to Australia. I’m gonna try and rig up a mill like yours as I’ve watched about every chainsaw milling video on You Tube and yours is the simplest I’ve seen to use. I’ve ordered a saw attachment for power carving for my angle grinder about 3 weeks ago and am still waiting for that to arrive. In the meantime I might just have to watch your video a few more times to get my head around how it’s made, unless you have plans available? Thanks for the inspiration. ❤️
Thank you for the kind words.I don't have any plans for this, I tend to do these mostly by feel. I usually start out with some rough reference lines to get me close and use my fingers to feel for uniformity. It takes a lot of patience, the best thing I can recommend is to go slow and take of a little at a time and let your hands tell you what out of balance. Good luck with your project and be safe with those saw attachments, their a bit scary.
Thank you for your reply. Sounds like you and I work similar. I never use plans and always build from a vision, but in this case I thought I’d ask. I’ll be careful with the angle grinder. I’ve heard that the videos make them look so easy but they can kick like a mule if you’re not careful. Thanks again.
This video actually helped me identify a piece of wood I accumulated some time ago. I milled a slab about 4 inches thick, with my chainsaw, of a log that was 18 inches diameter, and 4 feet long. In the dead center there is a beautiful bright red line that runs through the whole slab.
So very cool to watch, do the different head you put in the grinder act like different grits of sandpaper but Blade form? Not sure how to phrase the question.
They are flap discs. It is flaps of sandpaper on a disk. They come in all different grits. I usually will use a 40-60 grit to smooth everything out enough that the orbital sander can take over. You can get them at most hardware stores or the big retailer that ships everything in a day or two 😉 if your in the U S.
Nicely done Goose...for years I carved bowls and djembe's with a mallet and various gouges, the pile of aromatic chips was very satisfying but many days went into larger pieces, I have a bit less time these days and just bought a Lancelot and a couple Kutzall shaping dishes...can't wait to try them out. Thanks for the video!
I have a lot of respect for you hand tool guys, that takes a lot of patience. I can't sit still long enough for that. If you do anything on Instagram I'd love to see some of your work, theres a link to mine on this TH-cam profile somewhere. Thanks for the comments.
@@GooseRustic Lol, yeah carving by hand is a lifestyle choice requiring a state of mind free of concern for money or anything else in need of your time; those were different times for me and I can't afford to indulge that pace right now. I tried out the Lancelot yesterday and roughed out a bowl in a couple of hours, amazing tool! I'm not on Instagram but hope to have a website at some point this winter...I'll post it here when it's up.
@@GooseRustic I thought you'd appreciate the skill displayed in this video: th-cam.com/video/QirqtJBPYCc/w-d-xo.html This was done in 2.5 hrs. - I don't know if that includes the chainsaw work. A skilled carver can be as fast as a guy with power tools(I'm not that good) and the absence of dust is a HUGE plus, I remember meeting a guy in Belize who created the most incredible life size sculptures with a ground down leaf spring.
😊Phew !!! I'm absolutely shattered now 😨!!!! I felt like I was working it with you !!! 😂 That's a fine piece of craftmanship, thanks for sharing 😊💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for the comment! I’d love to see how your bowl turns out. I’ve never used willow for anything. There’s a link for my instagram in my profile if your interested.
Nice work. Really love the look and quality. A couple questions. Did you use a food safe stain / dye / finish. If so can you share. If not its fine, just curious. 2nd Q. Do you get any cracking or warping? Thanks for the links below. Been looking for some solutions to get through the wood faster.
On this bowl I used a steel wool vinegar solution to darken the wood and then boiled linseed oil as a top coat. These days I use flaxseed oil and beeswax as a finish for just about all my bowls. You will get some warping and maybe some cracking depending on the wood your using. You can either carve the bowl to your finish thickness and deal with the warping or carve it thick and let it dry and you should be able to take some of the warp out when you finish carving it. I usually let them warp some because I like the look. Be careful with those grinder saw attachments, they are very dangerous. I’ve actually stopped using them. I have another dough bowl video in my page if your interested.
Thanks for making this video! Great inspiration for a bowl I'm making out of maple. I'm using the Arbortech Turboplane and it really works well. What finish do your recommend? I was thinking of using either Danish oil or flaxseed oil for the one I'm working on.
Thanks for the kind words. I’ve been wanting to try the arbortech stuff, maybe someday. I used boiled linseed oil and furniture wax because this was just for decoration. I turn a lot of bowls and use food grade flaxseed oil and beeswax on everything. If your on Instagram or Facebook tag me, I’d love to see it when it’s done. Thanks.
Nice work. One thing though. You shall not make the bowl like a dug out canoe. Spoons and bowls should be made w the outside of the log on top and the center of the log as the bottom. In that way it is less risk of cracking. The sides of the bowl will be like quater sawn lumber and the edge of the ends is much stronger. A tip I learned from an old spoon maker 35 years ago.
Thank you for this awesome video. What is the make of the blade that you used to cut the opening of the dough bowl with? Is this the same blade you used to shape the undersides (ends) of the dough bowl with? You have inspired me to do similar projects. Thanks a million.
I was using a Lancelot tool and a holy Galahad from King Arthur Tools. I DO NOT recommend the Lancelot tool, it’s very dangerous and every time I’ve used it was was very nervous. I prefer to use the course holy Galahad to do all of the shaping now. It’s f you go to my website and click on articles there is a list of all of the tools that I like to use.
What was the liquid you used on it , to shine it , and is it poison ☠️ when cooked ? And , would it be so beautiful to make a cabin , out of this wood , and what kinda wood is it. Beautiful job , I subscribed , thanks 🙏
It was boiled linseed oil and beeswax. The wood is called box elder, it’s a softer causin of the maple tree. It tends to either be very colorful and full of character or just plain and boring.
Do you have a dust collection system? It seems your shop/garage is very dusty. I have the same problem and try to do all power tools outdoors. That is a nice piece of work. I like the saw mill. I can feel your dedication to your work.
I don’t have dust collection, I had a shop vac that I would hook up to some tools but most of the time I just sweep up after I’m done carving and when things start getting really dusty I open the garage door and turn the leaf blower on and blow a big cloud of dust across the road. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Thank you very much! The finish I used is boiled linseed oil and furniture wax. you can use anything on it though, it just depends on how shiny you want it and what you have laying around. Mineral oil and beeswax would work great also and is pretty cheap.
That can be a challenge. Using wood that has been down for a while helps a bit, don’t leave it too thick, putting a finish on it like a wax (especially on the end grain) to slow the drying down. Also depending on how wet the wood it you may need to introduce to a drier environment like your house slowly. Just remember the faster green wood dries the more likely you’ll have problems. Thanks
Beautiful work and I love your format. Thank you for sharing
That's gorgeous dense looking wood...nice smooth looking texture!!

That angle grinder carver you used on the ends to rough the shape...I always use a big chisel and a mallet and I think after watching this clip its actually quite a bit faster! Thanks for sharing.
The power tools are definitely faster, but much easier to make a mistake with. If I had more time I’d like using hand tools.
Beautiful job, well-done. Thanks for the video.
You might try using sand bags to steady the wood while carving it.
I've been wanting to do a bowl like this. Great video. Thank you for taking to time to show your work.
Thanks for watching. If you have Instagram and think of it I’d love to see some pictures.
Great work .looks good
Excellent job....congratulations...
Beautiful. I just discovered grinding wheels Fantastic Four guitar work.
This is Gorgeous! I want one! He did a beautiful job!
Boxelder is a cool wood! Nice work
Nice job with the power tools!

Goose I definitely will. I have some spalted cottonwood I'm going to have a go at it with.
What a great talent you're blessed with. Love your shop.

Throughly enjoyed your work, absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful, you’re an artist!
17:33 what kind of liquid you use?
That's bonnie looking at starting up doing stuff like this myself milling slabs bowls and stuff great information and inspiration from these videos 👍
Great job!👍🏻
Did you ever consider clamping the workpiece down while you are grinding on it?
I like how you use measures and markings at the beginning but it turns out more natural, great work
Thanks Mike! I like to use measurements in the beginning so as I'm carving I don't get way off course and have a lop sided bowl.
Love your videos...I'm enjoying your woodwork....God Bless you!
That must be some soft wood, I just got done making a waving flag out of 2x4s and it took me almost 5 weeks to carve it.
I think you did a wonderful job
It was box elder wood. Definitely harder than pine but softer than maple. I can go from log to dough bowl in a little less than a day.
Exquisite! Thank you for this video, you should be very proud of the fine object you created. (I love dough bowls!)
Came out great! Looks incredible!
Looks great with simple tools. Nice for an amateur like me. Great job!
Looks amazing ! Just found your channel, excited to see what else I have made. Thank you for sharing !
You Sir are a MASTER at this! It's absolutely Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge!
Great great great job
You are the master
Great work‼️ How do you deal with moisture content and sealing⁉️ Will the bowl check and crack afterwards⁉️
Very nice job 👍🏼
Show. ..show. ..show de bola.
Muito show sua arte. Vou fazer isso, com certeza. Acredite.

Nice work man, if it helps, put an old nylon stocking over the grinder to stop dust getting into the motor etc...
That’s a great idea, I’ve been abusing this thing for a while. I’ll have to check the wife’s drawers, maybe I can steal some stockings.
@@GooseRustic exactly what I did 👀
Too easy to make a joke about checking wife’s drawers.

I just picked up a Fein angle grinder, and some of the Arbortech cutting wheels. I'm looking forward to branching out into other areas of Woodworking.
Beautiful!
Great woodworking too good for just pine cones! ;)
thanks. The pine cones were just for the picture. The bowl was actually made for a client. I think it sits on their mantle. Thanks for the kind words!
The attachment is diy or commercial? It s great
That chainsaw rig, though! Nice!
Thanks for sharing your time and talents in making a video. Really great looking project - Adventure Indiana

fantastic work. Thank you for sharing it with us.
what an exceptional work of art ! .. great video ..
Thanks you very much.

Is that green wood? Looks like it is. Just wondering how well those carving tools work on dried seasoned wood.

The chainsaw sound sped up cracks me up.

Buen día sin palabras pero muy bien explicado felicidades. Pregunta: cómo se llama el producto que le pone al final?
excellent work keep it going
What kind of wood is that?
Very nice. What type of wood did you use?
Thank you. That wood is box elder.
Wow! Beautiful.
Nice. He seems like a highly skilled man in wood cutting machines. Please don't try to simply imitate the dangerous chainsaw works.
👍👍👍 sehr gut.

Yes indeed.

Lmfao!! I like’em big 😏
@@GooseRustic Yeah they do lo0k nice on your table,i also hope your customers/or gifting them out to people like them that size.
wow great work
Was that green wood or dry wood?
Hi you used 2 different oil when you finsed your job
Can you let me name of them??
And kind of the wood ?
Was mapel or walnut or oak or...
What kind of blade are you using in your grinder to remove the excess wood.
Awesome job!!
Eye and ear protection?
If you use wedges as you progress down the log it will keep your bar from getting pinched.

LINDA BAÑADERA..!!
What were the two oils used on the finished bowl?
The first was vinegar steel wool to give it some color then I used boiled linseed oil and paste wax.
@@GooseRustic thanks! I thought the steel wool and vinegar was the first!! What a beautiful dough trough you made!!!
How much do you sell one of those for?
