When shaving the inside of the bowl, how do you know how much to shave off without cutting through? Is it just experience?

is that... an omnibowl?

Well, I hope my woody doesn't pop in the morning. I'd hate to see it as a bowl.

keep waiting for someone to carve it too deep and have to trash it

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't see that happen too often. Usual reason for having to trash a piece is it chips/shatters.

As someone who does commission work, it's easy to make 50 identical bowls if you have an efficient process. I'd take $5-$10 for that bowl.

Why do they only ever turn bowls? Why not turn something unique, like the declaration of independence in triplicate?

I was uncomfortable the whole time. Where Are You Gloves!

NO GLOVES WHILE MACHINING! It's easy for fabric to get caught and suck your hand into moving parts. At best broken bones at worst g'bye hand

You never want to wear gloves while working on a lathe. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

2/2 If the glove gets nipped by the chuck or any other moving part, it's much more likely to take your entire finger or hand with it.

Without gloves you might get scraped or cut, but usually at least retain appendages.

Not cutting off the corners of the glued block before starting to lathe is just lazy and can ruin the project.

9 years ago | Likes 153 Dislikes 5

IMO, it's more work to not take the corners off... I'd rather fire up the bandsaw for 10 seconds than try and round out that blank

9 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

every video I've seen from professionals, none of them cut the corners. If you glued it properly you should have no problems.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe *YOU* cut corners because you're the lazy one.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

assuming you have a bandsaw. I use a recip saw to try to get squares into octagons at least and then turn from there.

Love the safety tip, quick pause to remove wood shavings from the wire

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Looking at the shavings gives an indication of how well the cut is going. If the shavings are not right, something needs to change...

I thought he would put it back in the finshed bowl...

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

safe, or showcase of laziness? wouldn't be a problem if the wiring was the correct size for the amp draw. he could just rewire the machine.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Is that so the wire doesn't overheat, so you don't trip, or for another reason?

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

a band-aid: mains wiring or extension cord is undersized for the current draw. Properly sized cords don't heat up to wood combustion temps.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

True but it's still a good idea to keep a clean work area

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

but he's not cleaning it. he's literally grabbing it and moving it over by less than a foots distance.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

It's a general precaution to prevent all of the above plus more like a spark that can ignite the shavings.

9 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 2

Not necessary. You really only need to keep the motor clear. If the wire is getting hot enough to ignite shavings, somethings wrong.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You mean remove man glitter from the wire

There are multiple types of man glitter. And after turning down bronze on a lathe all day I'm covered a different kind

(1)You don't wear gloves or long sleeves with lathes. They can catch on the rotating parts. With a smaller bench lathe, not such a problem

Gloves will result in losing a whole hand as opposed to having some nasty lacerations

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

If it catches the hand it might hurt quite a bit. If it catches the glove there might be no hand left to hurt.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

(2)since the motor will likely seize. But more powerful motors will ruin your day if you hand gets caught.

You will still have a bad day, shit will still fuck you up, even if it doesnt wrap your entire body around itself. 1/2

Depends on the horsepower. A 1/2HP motor will just stop if caught, but it's powerful enough to turn a bowl.

Honest question, what do most... W/E this is called, do with all their excess shavings? Kindling? Sell it? Recycle? D) all of the above?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It can be used for kindling, if you know what you're doing and how to properly light a fire, but it's mostly swept up and thrown in the 1/2

Bin/recycling, and shavings from certain woods can be used as bedding for pets, unless glue has been used

Can you use it in compost?

Yeah, but try to avoid chemically treated wood, unless you can be sure the chemicals have all been washed out before use on fruit or veg
