hi everybody welcome to with the grain the show where i try and not chop bits off myself with
large power tools i had this idea to try and do a kind of yin yang e type bowl arrangement
which hopefully won't kill me in the process
so let's try it
i've taped it up just to hold it together whilst i chuck it up this is going to be interesting
now i don't know how on earth i'm going to do this yet we're going to be making it up as we go along
i'm hoping it doesn't fly out and hit me in the face that will be bad
let's turn the speed right down see if we can try and balance this up a bit
it's incredibly hardwood it comes off in pieces like bits of
concrete
i don't know i'm going to do the middle yet i think what i'm going to do is cut two tenons
on one on each side and then we should be able to check them up on the jaws on this side
and then turn the middles out individually oh such a nice piece of wood
come up a bit speed now because we're balanced see the bench is not
running around running away about 2000 rpms about as much as i feel comfy with right now
so nearly round
but not quite
i need to get rid of this tape it's annoying me
i think what i'm going to do is now that tenon's done because i can't cut the other one against the
chuck it's going to end up in tears and blood probably i'm going to clean up this and then
i think i'm going to turn it round now i really must have made a mess of cutting that didn't i
i don't know how i'm going to artistically change that maybe we need to take some more
off the side just to see if we can get rid of some of it let's see here we go
all right that's not too bad to be able to get away with that one time we cleaned it up
all right i'm going to turn it around
they're never going to be the same but i guess the idea is to try
i've never done anything like this before it's really quite hard
it's like a very strange bowling ball excited about doing it like that
it's amazing how strong this stuff is
you're gonna come and visit me in hospital
it's kind of a weird thing i don't know how on earth i'm gonna do this i guess
it's just like turning something that's square for a while and then hopefully
it'll work out now this is only going to be a small thing so we'll see
oh
does that look good
so
i'm definitely gonna have to scrape that little piece
hey it's art form isn't it it doesn't have to be perfect
normally you're supposed to try these things before you do them
all right it looks good for the middle now this has got a particular use in mind
so i'm not that bothered about how deep it is and i quite like the little bubble in the middle
because that kind of serves the purple kind of starting to see the idea
this is certainly the weirdest thing i've ever done on a lathe
you need a concave bottom otherwise it won't sit right
if you've got any other silly ideas of stuff i could put on a lathe then let me know
good
so please subscribe hit the like button please leave me a comment i like to hear from people
especially at the moment when things are so ridiculously weird
i think it's all good that we stick together everybody here we are at the end there's the bowl
a bowl of two halves yin yang bowl soul mate bowl not quite sure what you want to call it
the fit isn't perfect but then the fit isn't perfect with anything generally and it's the
little imperfections that make it right so please leave a comment let me know how you thought it was
