This is why I will always watch his channel. he is one of the few that when a mistake is made he owns it, and takes the time to explain the why. The most impressive part of all of it is his perseverance he adjusts and overcomes every time.
I'm sure you have a ton more experience now, so you don't get as many catches. But great job getting back on the horse after that one. Tough to use the same tool in the same spot again the next time when your learning. What a great looking single turned bowl! I'm so jealous of you. You have wonderful woods to use on your own property and a nice big lathe to use in a big shop. Keep doing a great job.
Nice. I love all your content. I started by watching you make a brush axe and now I think I've seen everything you've made. Bowl looks good. I'm amazed by how fast that bowl dried and warped!
LOVE the Googlie eyes on the wood, too funny. Watching you make that bowl, fantastic work even though you almost ruined it, was a joy to watch. An totally understandable why you didn't let your dog eat the core, arsenic in the seeds. Glad you explain what happened when the scrapper got caught, on the inside of the bowl, an the differences between scraping on the inside of the bowl than outside. An explaining that there is a difference between metal working and wood working. Great video as always.
Nice one & wee tip. Save your sawdust, mix as much as you can in to hot melted pined resin to make a really thick well coated paste. Then whilst still hot work it in to the cracks as best you can. Clean of any excess with natural turpentine then oil. :)
Reminds me of when I was a little girl watching my dad turning old bowling pins into decorative things on his Shop Smith lathe. Except for not enjoying the loud noise, I loved watching him make stuff.
Was sitting on friday night (Swedish time that is) and thinking to myself; "when is there going to be another farm-/guncraft video" and BAM!!! There it is! As entertaining as always!!!
I see hardwood lumber for building furniture and American flatbows in that there tree. I just spent $80 and 160 miles of travel to buy roughly 50 board feet of Hickory, Birch, Cherry, and White Oak to support my hobby of building 50 pound draw weight crossbows that have twice the power stroke of commercial crossbows. I thought I got a good deal at Ghent Lumber outside of Hudson NY. But having both the trees and sawmill in my back yard would be a dream come true. Love your videos, but indeed you are a lucky guy, please enjoy it to the maximum.
You mentioned the bowl flying off the lathe. That happened once to me but while making mandrel. Thank god I only walked away with a scratch and a bump on my forehead rather than a concusion or worse. But one minor mistake led to disaster
Farm craft I'm glad to see that you took the time to pointout that dangerous situation with the three branching trunks... My neighbors had a water oak limb to fall in there yard and had a similar branching trunk situation the person cutting it up was inexperienced and tried cutting one of the branching trunks while standing on a ladder it had a curve to it when it hit the ground it rolled and hit the ladder and knocked him off ...he was only about four feet off the ground he did land on the log and broke four ribs ....
Never, never, never rely on a ladder while doing tree work. Only exception would be if you are roped in, and when (not if) the ladder gets knocked out from under you, all is still ok.
This bowl is absolutely wonderful! Being a history buff, I kept imaging a treadle powered lathe. LOL I also imagined kneading bread dough in that bowl. I sure wish I could buy this bowl, but I doubt I could afford it. Let's see, 200 years from this year would have been 1821. Just think how much that tree has seen. Anyway, well done. You created a beautiful and useful piece of artwork. PS, I love sawdust too.
I'm glad I subbed to this channel. I really like the content. It doesn't have stupid music playing the whole time and you don't act like your on speed trying to be super excited and fake to attract viewers. It's straightforward and good edit: based on that "too much government" t-shirt I would be we'd get along well lol
Turning my first bowl scared me. After half a dozen, I went from scared to TERRIFIED! I'm glad there are people out there doing it, but I stopped and went on to safer things.
That is a beautiful bowl you turned. I missed that semester of wood shop when they were turning bowls. I was not sure I would like shop. I took the second semester and did make a lovely night stand and a cutting board. I got into it and had a great time. To bad I did not know I would like shop until my last semester of high school.
Goldens have strange food likes. Mine would go for lemons, bite in, grimace, then bite in again and carry it around in his mouth all afternoon. Another one liked tomato's, he learned not to eat them off the bush, but on the ground was OK. Naturally, one paw would knock the tomato to the ground and he had his feast.
The one other factor (that's less important than what you explained) was the distance from the tool rest to the bowl. When you had that catch, you had (I'm guessing) 2 or more inches on the wrong side of the rest, giving up precious leverage to the workpiece. Nevertheless, it turned (argh) out beautifully. 👍
I'd upvote this video based solely on the hungry doggo devouring that apple, despite the awesome woodworking. Looks like you got plenty of firewood out of that tree! My lab would have chomped that apple down in about three bites, or at the very least it would've looked in real time like what your dog looked like with the video sped up :-P
Great video . I have some Metal Lathe Exp. myself and I've always wanted to try wood . So ty for making me smarter when that day comes . Well done enjoyed it start too finish .
As someone who has had projects disintegrate on the lathe, it's always an unnerving experience. So far though, for me, it's also always a lot less catastrophic and dangerous than it seems like it would be. Somehow, the pieces don't seem to eject and fly across the shop with the force you would expect. I got hit in the center of my chest with a piece and it didn't do any more than sting a little. I think I was around 6 or 700 RPM with that one.
This was super cool to watch! Even with the cracks the bowl came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing these videos. Seeing you go through a learning curve with your projects is a lot of fun and interesting. Stay safe (that scraper catch was scary!) and keep up the awesome and enlightening videos. :)
That bowl came out very pretty. Question is, now that it's 4 years later, how did it hold up since it was warping and cracking during shooting? Still have and use it? Thanks for sharing.
Wood is not a homogenous material, like metal. It has grain, knots, splits/shakes, etc. and all these will affect the cutting tool. I've found them all, and some. I've had a bowl separate, into pieces, and take out my ceiling strip lamp, due to a hidden shake. For safety, I always turn out of the ''line of fire.'' I foolishly tried out a new tool, on a nearly complete bowl, it snatched and smashed the bowl! Thats another thing I wont do again. You can learn a lot from mistakes, especially other peoples! So thanks for explaining yours. .
Hi, I'm enjoying your videos. I'm learning how to fell trees to help my son take down a couple trees on his land that are dead and he cannot afford to pay a company to do it. Anyway, I have cut down a few small trees and a couple of them I cut the branches first and then cut the trunk. And a couple others I cut tree down and then cut branches off. What do you think is the best way? Cut branches before cutting trunk down, or after tree is down? And if you wouldn't mind, explaining the why for your preferred way. Thank you! Caryl
Maybe invest in some chainsaw trousers? Working out on your own in shorts is not the best idea. Ive had to clean up at three sites where incorrect equipment has led to untimely deaths!
It wood be cool if you saved some of that wood and let it dry in rounds, so it won't check while turning. Also, you can compost wood shavings if they don't have epoxy shavings in them.
Firewood for the winter: checked XD But I don't understand why you have storebought apples at home when you live on a farm. One or two apple trees will give you enough apples to feed a family for a year and they're easy to maintain and apples store nicely too.
He may actually have apple trees. But depending on where he lives they could be out of season, or the birds get to them first. Had that happen quite often with my apple tree.
Has it all! Deffo click bait though. Chainsaw, farm work, wood turning and a pup eating apples! It's a thumbs up from me. Guess what? My pups going to get an apple right now!!
When I was a teen, my dad kept blaming my 2 sisters and me of bringing rocks into the yard that would get caught by the riding lawnmower. Then one day he saw that our golden retriever bringing up rocks from the creek that had gone dry (dams build improperly above river forced water underground for most of the year). He apologized to all of us for doing something that our dog was actually doing.
WOW … NEVER TRIED TURNING BEECH … SURE DOES CHECK FAST … LOVE THE SHAPE OF YOUR BOWL !
I love how you put your mistakes in and explain them.
This is why I will always watch his channel. he is one of the few that when a mistake is made he owns it, and takes the time to explain the why. The most impressive part of all of it is his perseverance he adjusts and overcomes every time.
One of the reasons I love FC101, outside of the fact that it's just outright entertaining and informative.

Beautiful Job! That's the first time I have ever seen a DOG eating an Apple!!! Best wishes!

Scraping away that wood on the lathe looks so satisfying.
Was sitting on friday night (Swedish time that is) and thinking to myself; "when is there going to be another farm-/guncraft video" and BAM!!! There it is! As entertaining as always!!!
You found and FREED a bowl from a tree.
That is beautiful! Great videos.
I see hardwood lumber for building furniture and American flatbows in that there tree.

Very cool from tree to lathe to table. Awesome information about the different angles and what to be careful about. The ending was great 👍.
I grew up with Golden Retrievers, they are one of the best family dogs around
the bowl looks great!!!
The old saying is this: "Wood heats you three times. Once when you cut it, once when you split it, and once when you burn it."
Beautiful bowl
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

Great video, beautiful bowl. Thanks for explaining why it caught too.
You're a good instructor! Very clearly explained. Enjoyed your full video filming and editing.
This was probably the best explanation of catching I have seen. Be sure to do a followup to let us know if the bowl cracks later.
Beech is one of my favourite woods. Good job! Burns great too👍
Love seeing your golden retrievers. This will be my next dog. Oh, in the wild, the dog would have ate the core. But glad you took it away.
This bowl is absolutely wonderful! Being a history buff, I kept imaging a treadle powered lathe. LOL I also imagined kneading bread dough in that bowl.

The canine feasting interlude is the hidden gem of this clickbait video.
Should have put the dog in the thumbnail! Something like, "What I do for my doggo!"
Why the hell did he let the dog eat the label? PEEL IT OFF!
Spore Murph he probably didn't notice the label
Spore Murph because it’s a dog
This isn't click bait at all...He does exactly what the title said he would.
Beautiful! I love the finish with puppy!!!
A piece to be proud of!

Very nice
Turning my first bowl scared me. After half a dozen, I went from scared to TERRIFIED! I'm glad there are people out there doing it, but I stopped and went on to safer things.
Ive also had gnarly catches making bowls. Broken a few tools while i was learning what not to do. Angles and heights of tools
@Genghis Chuan First off, fuck you too. Secondly, not weaker, just not taking the risk. Gave it a good run, though. How many bowls did you make?
@Genghis Chuan What kind of bullshit macho comment is that?
@@MagPel1 Funny, nobody ever says those things to me in person. I'd say that Freud could probably analyze him better than we would be able to.
Why were you scared?
That turned out really nice. Working on a wood lathe is so tough on the hands, when I first used one, my hands were killing me afterwards lol
Absolutely awesome wooden bowl Sir !!!!!!!!! I use the same Tung oil on my projects too.
That is a beautiful bowl you turned. I missed that semester of wood shop when they were turning bowls. I was not sure I would like shop. I took the second semester and did make a lovely night stand and a cutting board. I got into it and had a great time. To bad I did not know I would like shop until my last semester of high school.
I hope your dog appreciated all that you went through to give it that apple. You are a dedicated dog owner. Well done btw.

o yes love the apple dog thanks for the video have fun
the lathe and bandsaw are two pieces of equipment that can hurt you fast if you're not careful.
Great video . I have some Metal Lathe Exp. myself and I've always wanted to try wood . So ty for making me smarter when that day comes . Well done enjoyed it start too finish .
Lathes are awesome, this should be a spring episode though you should have left that for a few months to dry out
Bowl looks really nice, we got a little lesson in how not to plant a sharp tool in our bodies AND we got a cute doggo. I'm thoroughly satisfied.
I will 💯 never not be amazed by circular bandsaw jigs. Perfect circle with almost no effort on a bandsaw?? Previously impossible.
the way the face on the tree gasped made me laugh lol

Like manufactured spaulting.
Turned out excelent!
What's inside? A great turning lesson! Thanks for sharing!
now that was nice thanks for the video have fun
Beech or beuken as we cal it in dutch is a really good wood for handles table tops cutting board door knobs and so on you better rethink the firewood.
This was super cool to watch! Even with the cracks the bowl came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing these videos. Seeing you go through a learning curve with your projects is a lot of fun and interesting. Stay safe (that scraper catch was scary!) and keep up the awesome and enlightening videos. :)
Very nice result!
best part of the video watching that good boy eating apple
Cool video, made me think about things I'd not considered before. Cheers!
As always, very informative. That's for another great video!
woodworking genius!
You've gotta watch out for saplings under that! They're a son of a beech... ;)
That bowl came out very pretty. Question is, now that it's 4 years later, how did it hold up since it was warping and cracking during shooting? Still have and use it? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the lesson at the end.
Thx for the lesson, very informative.
Love the tree animation😆😆😆
I can only imagine what a beech it must've been clearing that tree from your yard.
Great video as always
respect ! very nice work ! the appleeater also is nice, greetings .....

So thanks for explaining yours.

@3:15 oh no! poor Stumpy! @3:39 omg NOOO!!!! STUMPY!!!! i think im going to be sick....🤣🤣🤣
@5:18 that's it! 🤢🤮🤣🤣🤣
What did he find?
A piece of wisdom!
Ha! That's true. With every project I do!

blabla safety pants blabla
Another brilliant video 👍 keep'm coming!!!

Thanks for the lesson Sensai...
Where are your chaps
Well done, great explanation.
Frowny Face lives in. Nice work 👍 Dude.

He may actually have apple trees. But depending on where he lives they could be out of season, or the birds get to them first. Had that happen quite often with my apple tree.
I do have some apple trees, but they are young and don't produce yet.
That turned out beautiful!
Do you anticipate any more problems due to the wood not being dry?
It will warp a little, but for a fruit or salad bowl it will be fine. I wouldn't expect it to hold liquid though.
I saw your other dogs pink tail in the back ground
Has it all! Deffo click bait though. Chainsaw, farm work, wood turning and a pup eating apples! It's a thumbs up from me. Guess what? My pups going to get an apple right now!!
Beautiful
Best part of the video, the dog eating the apple, lol.
Frank Howarth would be proud of that bowl
Thanks for the video and the explanation of the physics involved. It was very fascinating. Did you get a cord out of the tree for heat?
Several in fact. Quite a large tree.
I have never seen a domesticated dog eat fruit. My mind is blown.
You are kidding, right?
Excellent information and nice work as usual. 👍🇺🇸
Great video!
Have you ever ran into Bald face hornets in trees yet? Lols this is a very neat channel and content I subbed :D
Beautiful bowel. I need a dough bowel. Where can I buy one of yours.
Beautiful!
why fill the cracks?
I read once it's better to take 2 small cuts than 1 large cut. My main source of catches is cutting too aggressively.
10:17 damn that was scary
I thought raccoons were eating my sweet corn. Then I caught my golden retriever eating it.
When I was a teen, my dad kept blaming my 2 sisters and me of bringing rocks into the yard that would get caught by the riding lawnmower. Then one day he saw that our golden retriever bringing up rocks from the creek that had gone dry (dams build improperly above river forced water underground for most of the year). He apologized to all of us for doing something that our dog was actually doing.
Put a smiley inside 😋 hehe
Clickbait but very nice bowl
Fair enough. Title changed. Trying to be compelling, not deceiving.
@@FarmCraft101 Ok that has me asking " What was the Orginal Title " Loved the re-cap " Well Done "
How is it clickbait
Thank you that was awesome good information
No! About turning wood or metal, one is clearly better than the other. The elders of the internet deemed it so. The question is, which one...
I've got to say, that's the funniest looking goat i've seen since my brother had a lamancha.
