At last it is here and ready for you, the woodturners of the world! People have
been bugging me for years - well, encouraging me anyway - to make a DVD that
goes through the steps I teach in my bowl turning classes. So, in the late
summer of 2004, we did it. We have worked hard to make this DVD different than
any other out there. What makes it so different? Well first of all, it has me in
it. But more importantly, we have made this bowl turning DVD as comprehensive as
possible. It is also longer than just about any other DVD out there, even some
two disc sets. There are over two hours of bowl turning
information! So what does this thing cover exactly? Below is a list of the
segments we have created for your viewing pleasure.
Introduction - we had to have one so you know who the
heck I am.
Chainsawing - Choosing a log, the chainsaw and other
equipment, safety when sawing, sawing techniques for different bowl blanks.
Bandsawing - Marking the slab cut during the
chainsawing operation, sawing it out on the bandsaw, safety.
Rough turning. Mounting the blank on the lathe, cutting
techniques, safety, preparing the blank for storage while drying.
Sharpening. Do I need to say more?
Form discussion. What makes a good bowl, and how do we
determine shape.
Finish turning. Mounting the dry blank on the lathe,
cutting techniques, a tiny bit of sanding. Who wants to watch a lot of sanding?
Finishing off the bottom. How to turn the bottom of the
bowl so that people will say, "How'd you do that?!?" Discussion of three
different techniques.
Oiling and Buffing. How to finish off your bowl for a
beautiful shine.
