Gary: I've seen you create bowls in this fashion many times, and I never cease to be amazed. This method of turning rings from one piece is brilliant...and frugal. I've always disliked the idea of a beautiful piece of wood being turned into 90% shavings. In my opinion, this method, plus coring, creates less waste and more beautiful work. Can't go wrong there! Two for one! Love it!
"Two for one" is how all woodturners like our wooden projects. Very nice Gary I really must try making your cutting jig and find a parting tool. The possibilities are somewhat endless. Geoff
“Two for one,” an interesting method for arriving at two beautiful bowls from the minimum amount of material. This would be an especially good schema to use if you were dealing with very expensive woods. Minimal waste. Maximum beauty. Thank you papa
Thank you Paul, Padauk is not real costly but twice that of the Maple. I either use the Padauk for segments or something like this. Little waste that way. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary... You have made 2 beautiful bowls there... I love the fish design... very clever... and the Padouk and Maple.. well what's not to like... Thanks for the mention... great video as always... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy, I just started with playing with some splines on my computer and this showed up. I was hoping it look ok and once the bowl got shaped it did look like a little bowl with fish. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Gary
These are so beautiful Gary. I love that they are non-identical, but the inverse of the coloration (the different shapes of the bowl notwithstanding). "Something fishy"... two birds on a perch and one says to the other, "can you smell fish?"
Thanks Ray, they are fun to make. We have a lake near by that I used to go perch fishing. Caught as many as you wanted to clean. Tasty little guys! Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, The “Two forOne” bowls look great. When you scrape what size and profile do you recommend? Also what brand or type of steel do you find works best? Keep the videos coming, I learn something with each one👍
Thank you Skip. I have 2 negative rake scrapers that I bought. Both I bought from Penn State Industries. Some consider them low quality but to be honest they cut every bit as good as ones that cost 3 times more. One is 1 inch wide and the other 1 1/2 inch wide. They do not come as negative rake so I ground them that way. I put 40 degrees on both sides. I have some I have made from some other tools that have very high quality steel and the ones I bought last about the same before time to sharpen. Hope this helps, Gary
Thank you for sharing your TWO FOR ONE bowls video. I have a friend who goes fishing a lot, so I think I will try making a fish bowl for him. Thank you for taking the time to make videos and document your creations. I find your work inspiring.
Gary I love the Fish bowls. The two for one Idea was a great way to pick a winner for your giveaway. As always a pleasure to watch you work. I look forward to your next turning.
I enjoyed your example of the two for one fish bowls it looks easy. I will have to try it. Thanks for helping those of us that are trying t get better at turning.
Thank you Marcia! We got 2 kittens about 3 years ago from the same liter. I call them The Twins but they do not look anything alike. Funny though their were 4 kittens and there was actually 2 sets of identical looking kittens. Take care, Gary
Gary, I have been enjoying your videos for several years now and you have encouraged me to try different techniques in my shop. This "two for one" video was an eye opener for me. I have never seen your ring creation method before (and I have watched hundreds of hours of woodturning videos - just ask my wife!). Your little jig is a marvel of ingenuity. Well done!
Thank you very much Geoff for your comments. They mean a lot. I assume you have seen the video on building the ring cutter jig? Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 so, one last question. what is that chisel that you use to cut the rings? I don't think I have seen anything like it in all my shopping trips. I do have a thin parting tool that I thought I could use but after watching more videos, I now see that it won't do the trick. thanks again, Gary. I really appreciate your input and guidance.
Thanks so much Scott. I sure makes good use of the wood. I do like using up scraps doing this. Which is a good way to use smaller pieces and be able to have more than 2 types of wood in it. Take care, Gary
This two for one came out really nice. I have seen bowls made similarly but with the bandsaw. The jig you made for your lathe was really neat. Thx for sharing.
Thank you my friend and I am sure you will as long as you keep at it and enjoy it. The important thing is that you do enjoy what you are doing. Take care, Gary
Hi Gary, great video presentation, you are a great teacher, I really like the finished bowl and the TWO FOR ONE process is a great idea, take care and all the best to you. Regards Jim
Thank you Jeff and I love your comparison to loaves and fishes. I did collect all the scraps but there was not enough left to fill 7 baskets though. Take care, Gary
I didn't know that about the denatured alcohol and hot melt glue. Thanks for the tip. And how you made the TWO FOR ONE by gluing two contrasting woods together and cutting them out on the bandsaw is a great idea. Thank you sir.
Thank you very much. It is amazing how well the DNA cuts into the hot glue. Something else that works as good if not better is Acetone. I worried about it running into the finish though. Take care, Gary
On first look making a two bowls from two small boards only is incredible. Your method is incredible, Gary. Awesome! I will not take a part in Your giveaway but I will share Your video in my next video. All the best my friend 👍 Rav
I agree with the gentleman below... great way to get two for one (bowls) with efficient use of material. Thanks for continually sharing your technique. I plan to make my own ring cutting jig after the Christmas gift making season.
Thank you Gord and I was going to start another project similar but I need to take a trip to my favorite hardwood store and just did not want to do it yesterday or today. So I am making something else and using.....well you will need to wait till next Friday. Thanks for watching, Gary
These are beautiful. What I love most is your method. It seems that most YT woodturners start with beautiful wood, but most of it ends up as sawdust. The waste makes me sad. By making layers, you seem to keep most of the wood, and I love that.
Thank you very much. For sure this type of wood I like to do it this way. If it is something that has been cut down because the tree had to go and it will end up as firewood I do not mind turning it and ended up with shavings which we use around our place and nothing gets thrown away. Thanks for watching, Gary
I've always loved the idea of a twofer. It's just so efficient and sensible. The way you've explained this makes it easy to follow along. Two great looking bowl with a beautiful finish. What's not to like? Great job, my friend! Phil
Thanks so much Phil fun to do but this ends the current series of bowl from a board. I had not intended on doing this many but they seem to be popular. Time to find something with bark on it. Take care buddy! Gary
Very cool project. I'd forgotten about that "two for one" method. I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks, and as far as project style goes I prefer the projects that require a little more thought.
Enjoyed watching these twins. I did the random one that you did earlier. Turned out good for my first one. Am signing up for the TWO FOR ONE drawing. Thanks for sharing your work.
Very clever using the “two for one” method. One of these days when I have my other projects done,🤣, I’m going to do one of these!
Thank you Bob and you will enjoy it.
Take care,

@@ThePapa1947 no, I haven't seen it but will look for it now. I was hoping that you had made one.
Just watched you make the jig. don't know how I missed it the first time - single malt fog? what angle works the best in your experience?
Very little difference. The bowls I did in this video are 45 degrees. That will give you most material for the walls so I would start with that.
Gary
