@@kv501 I understand your defense of Frank. What point is there in saying something negative like that? People with any perceptible difference from the norms are singled out for scrutiny and then labeled. The treatment they receive can victimize them and cause lower self esteem. It can push them to a place with a different perspective. Some may rebel and dominate back at the denouncers or they may find their place is to be one that is less dominant, and more kind, caring,clever, humorous and thoughtful. All of that can be repressed by an overabundance of criticism which can begin with one comment. So yes we should protect Frank. But I wonder if the speech impediment comment was intended as a slam or if it was presented as backstory on a favorite character. Whatever the intentions, it did present backstory and even though we often do, no one should think less of anyone with speech challenges. Or any challenge. I appreciate the comment if it was offered as backstory and I understand wanting to defend Frank. But do you realize? You could both be on Frank's side.

I was thinking that 7 years seems like a long time but then realised I've been watching your videos for over 10 years! Wood as a medium really humbles us sometimes but has that connection of changing with time; not quite the same permanence as rock but less fleeting than us, perhaps that's part of what makes it such a joy to work with.

Great video.. enjoyed it much.. I been turning green wood for 56 years and made many.. I like face plates for green wood. After I rough them out I coat with paste wax and then around the outside I use shrink wrap.. I watch them and weight them for 6 weeks and if no cracks I put them in the attic of my shop.. Most dry out in 6 months and are ready.. I have had a few that have been in the attic over 22 years.. At one time I must of had 120 some bowls up in my attic. Things kind of get buried you know.. All kinds of hardwoods, 6-7 kinds of oak, maple, walnut..you name it…In most cases I just sand the bottom flat and put a faceplate on..and turn them to finish.. Other bowls I use a vicmarc 120 Chuck and is my favorite.. Nice to see a Cnc used to recreate the dovetail..

Frank, Could you use a flaslight app to create a strobe light which was set to match the timing of the rpms of your lathe? My thought being that you could use it to flash the inside of your bowl so you can see the bottom without having to turn the lathe off to do it. Stop action just like when looking at timing marks.
@Estwing22
Жыл бұрын
Frank, I don't do Facebook or related products like what's app, to my detriment at times like this. So I will elaborate here. I don't know if the flash on a phone is fast enough. It might need to be a real xenon strobe light. How to trigger it? Glue a magnet to the chuck with a nearby loop of wire for the magnet to induce electricity into and for the strobe light's current sensor to hook to? (Then duck when you turn up the rpms) Or there is probably a way to do it with one of those raspberry pie things. A high speed camera would capture it but you would have to look at it on a screen, not inside the bowl. The amount of work it would take me in the setting up process might make it easier for me to just turn the lathe off a few times. You are very clever and I bet you could certainly do it faster than I though it could still be easier to turn the lathe off a few times. But it might be worth it if it enhances interest in your videos. I've seen a lot of contraptions for lathes on KZitem but I've never seen one with a strobe light. I wonder if you could set a strobe light at an rpm that doesn't match, but is near the rpm of the lathe and have a result that still shows you what you wanted to see? At the very least, figuring it out, on camera, Frank style, might complement another turning video. And if you fine tune it and it works well, it could become a product that could be marketed. It's probably just another dumb idea but whether it ends up as a video or a product, I would be proud to have helped butter that bread. And if it ends filed under 13? Well, I have lots of ideas filed there. It will work and it would be interesting to me, although a demographic of one doesn't carry much weight. Everyone has different ways of doing things and I always enjoy watching how you work through to your goal. Your's is one of my safe KZitem channels that are an oasis of humanity inside a world that is a desert with regards to trust. Thank you.

might I offer a differant thought for the assorted bowl coring systems, they do not restrict the shape of the bowl you core, they only restrict the shape of the core, currently you have the core shaped as a bag of shavings, it could have been from one to 4 more bowls. I notice you run the nose of your bowl gouge almost straight up, I always learned the nose should point towards the direction of travel. and in an arc. a 60 degree U shaped gouge might help with the transition area.

One idea, maybe…. To rough cut the green wood into a round shape you could use your faceplate as the center on the band saw. You just need a peace of plywood that is thick enough to receive the dowel end of the faceplate. In this way your bandsaw cut will end up much closer to round… Just an idea…. Nice work by the way!!
