First Segmented Bowl
Просмотров 5118 лет назад
My first bowl using segmenting techniques. Wood species used .. ash, walnut, bloodwood, wenge.
VERY NICE. DO YOU SELL THE BOWLS?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
I HATE GAPS, TOO.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM THE WARNER BROTHERS SOON. NICE SLED MR. ROWE.
I like the music personnally!
Thanks. It is a no-win situation. If there was no music people would whine, if it was polkas people would whine. I put music on it that I enjoyed, and if someone didn’t like it, oh well!
@@CDRowe1 You're right! I'm glad you answered. Your video really helped me when I was making snowmen. Thanks a lot.
What did you do with the maple core? I have 2 bowling pins that I was going to make lamps out of but if you have a better idea, I'd like to hear it. Thanks.
I was going to make snowmen out of them, but I discovered there were too many voids inside to do that, I have made vases out of the body of the pin and miniature birdhouses out of the tops, but I have a major pile of these pins laying around that I am not quite sure what to do with. The first one I used for a snowman was solid all the way through and it turned out great, but every other one I have used since has had major voids inside.
Amazing! Think I'll try making just a couple first.
Sehr schöne Arbeit und passend dazu erklärt. Ich finde die Musik welche Du für den Hintergrund gewählt hast passt perfekt und verstehe hier das rumgeheule nicht. Danke Dir für dieses tolle Video 👋
Great video! I was wondering what I would do on Christmas Day with my three little Granddaughters. Then, you came along with this idea, I'll make it in four separate pieces for each snowman with a dowel hole up the center. Then each kid can assemble her own. I'll supervise the glueing part. Thanks man!
Can't hear the narrative through the horrid music.
Worse music ever!! Why ruin your great video..
What was the roughing tool used at the beginning that gets pushed straight in?
It's an Easy Wood Tools rougher. Regular size.
The unnecessary Music spoiled it. Had to turn it off.
Hi Dick - thanks again for all the help - another question - are the vertical pieces used in the feature ring cut with the same angle as the segments and how does their addition impact the segment length needed to create the desired diameter of the completed ring? Hope that makes sense 🙂
They are simply square cut 1/4" thick spacers, no angle. When you create that ring you have to allow for all the extra 1/4" pieces. Here is a link to the cut list and a cross section view I created for that bowl. I had to dig for this stuff because it has been a long time since I made that bowl (I actually made 5 of them in all), This should help you out. Hopefully the link works. www.dropbox.com/sh/4xq1nqeh0ywa938/AADl2hRLrgTTmiF_efBX8ZQla?dl=0
Great video! Thanks! Only problem I ever have is finding thick enough stock for this - unless I laminate 3/4 boards together
Great video with great explanation. I was able to see most of the specific tools used for each part, which is my biggest issue as a new turner. We’ll see how it goes! Thank you!
Great video, I’ll have to give them a try
Very beautiful and funny snowmen, very well made film, very good and informative sound - a workshop that I turn green with envy. One small point of criticism I must unfortunately note, as I come from the occupational safety: Please button your shirt or shirt and tuck in your pants - not only does not look really attractive - the risk of entrainment is enormous.
Nice work.they look great.
Music is to loud
all i hear is music, loud music
Great video , got a slab of Maple and ready to go . Just wondering how much you charge for one at a craft show?
I was charging $25
Hi, I enjoyed your video. My question is, if you drill a mortise on your lathe for the top hat, then cut an angle on the head, it doessn't seem like they will fit together tightly. Am I wrong, or am I missing something? Thanks.
I drill a mortise on my drill press and make it deeper than required. That way, when I cut the angle on the head the mortice is still deep enough that the hat doesn’t bottom out.
@@CDRowe1 Thanks
Can't hear what you are saying for the music.
Beautiful! Are the thin strips between the larger segments end grain? If so, do they cause problems?
It’s not end grain, but all the dark wood is wenge which is real hard and brittle. Turning wenge, in my experience, is more of a challenge than most other types of wood I usually use and can cause problems from time to time.
You really don’t need the music
The music is annoying
I came across your video today. These snowman are adorable. How can I purchase one?
Thanks much, but I only sell them at a couple local craft shows.
@@CDRowe1 Oh no! I'm so bummed. There is always Etsy or Ebay if you decide to sell online. Thank you for the quick reply.
Lisa, your comment got me thinking. I do have an Etsy site, but haven’t used it much in recent years. I could try to revive it and put some of the snowmen and other small items out there if you would be interested. It will probably take me a week or so to get everything together and when it is done I could at the site link to this thread.
Man you can not hear what you are using or what you are doing because of the music and other bull shit . If you are going to do a instructional have it where you can be heard and what you are doing seen . The music is why I do not like this video!!!!!
Ok, let me know where I can send your refund . Oh wait, it was free … never mind.
Hi Dick - Thanks for the previous response. One more question. For the jig you created to glue the rings on the lathe what did you use as the shaft that goes into the tail stock? I used the Morse Taper from a drill that I use on the lathe inserted into a slightly undersized hole on the bottom of the plate. That works for now but I am looking for a more permanent way to secure it. Thanks again for your help - Bob
I glued a block to the back of the ringed platter and tapped it to fit the threads on my Robust live center. I have pix but it appears you can’t add images to a RUclips comment.
Hi Dick - New to segmented turning and find this video one of the best I have seen. I have a couple questions: 1) Is there a plan for the stop you used so set the length of the segments on the table saw? 2) Typically how long do you wait before turning the rings when they are glued on the lathe? 3) Is there a source for the multi ring plastic template you used when drawing the foot? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
You can find plans for the Wedgie Sled and also get the ‘wedgies’ at segeasy.com/. Look for plans under Download. That’s where I got the info when I built mine. Also watch his instructional videos on how to make and use the sled. They are excellent. Look up Woodturners Center Finder for the plastic template. They are all over. I think I got mine at Rockler, but they are probably cheaper if you look around. As far as glue. I use Titebond slow set white glue to glue the segments into rings. It gives me more working time when sliding all those little pieces around. Let the rings dry over night. When gluing the rings together you only have to wait about 10 minutes for the glue to get tacky then put the next one in place. I use regular Titebond II or III because I want it to dry fast. After your rings are all glued clamp it together using your lathe and leave it sit over night.
Good video...I hope you start doing more.
Those are pretty cool
Thank You Very Well Done ! Taught Woods and Metals at the High School Level for a long time. It's always nice to see creative ability in folks. Very Nice
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
Stunning piece,,, clap clap
😻😻🙋💋 super tare
great except for NO MEASUREMENTS
It’s in the description.
Super cute. Love the music variety.
Thanks for this video, I enjoyed watching it and it inspired me to make a snowman version of my family . Feeling festive! Merry Christmas
Great Video!! Merry Christmas! God Bless!
Hello. I ran across an old Bible and inside it read, To Dick Q Rowe from his mother Ruth Rowe 1945, and thought someone may love to have it. If this is he or you know this gentleman and would want it, just let me know. I must have forgotten to click on "comment" the first time I sent this. :)
P.S. Beautiful work you are doing.
thanks you sir. thanks for the measurement. I also do woodwork with the Lathe. I am in the marker for a new lathe any ideas
Buying a lathe is really subjective and there is really nobody who can tell you what to buy. Best thing is to decide what you want to do now, what you may want to do in the future, and just research everything that is out there.
I'm like you sir if the music is blaring I don't listen I move on
Please remaster the audio and resubmit. I want to hear you describe your work.
Aach! The music!!! Narration and video work are great
Great talent
Really good video! Would have loved to have heard your narrative though!
Good idea here.
Very unique and interesting idea for a bowl. Looks great. Wondering why you quit making videos. Don't know why it took me so long to find your channel.
