Chandler AZ Mobile Shop road trip
We went on a two-week road trip to Chandler AZ for the Woodcraft expo. I want to give a big thank you to Easy Wood Tools and woodcraft for bringing us down for the event.
Woodturning – Driftwood Hollow Form
In this video I turned a piece of driftwood on the lathe. I found this piece on the beach about 15 years ago. It’s 6″ x 4 1/2″ and Pine or Fir.
Hand Carved Texas Longhorn / Maple and Myrtlewood
In this video I carved a Texas longhorn out of Maple and Myrtlewood. I started by cutting out the horns with the bandsaw, and then shaped them with the Arbortech Turbo Plane. The horns were the easy part. This was my first time carving a skull, so lots of trial and error. I did the rough shaping with with the Turbo Plane and refined it with the Power Chisel, 80 grit sandpaper, and a air rotary tool.
Woodturning – Birch Bowl – This is the bowl I dried in rice.
I did this one in real time Happy New Year! In this video I demonstrate how to remount a bowl on the lathe to do a final turn after it finished drying. I turned this bowl green a few months ago, it’s been drying in rice since I turned it.
Woodturning – Maple Female Form Piece
In this video I turned a piece of Maple on the lathe into two female forms holding a ring. After turned a vase shape and drew the female shapes. I marked two spots opposite the female forms and cut along them with the Mini Turbo. I hollowed it out and begin shaping the forms with a small air saw. With a dremel bit I refined the shape before lots of sanding
