bowl in the cave

vendredi 25 avril 2014

I actually finnished the bowl in record time. Its not the fanciest in the world but it is finished to a highish standard. It is the first time I have done an under cut.



So from the begining 2:43:42pm I have a blank. That is a piece that has been prepared by being cut round







Next I mount it. It is screwed from behind with the base out and turn the outside and base first this is now 3:43:10 pm So in just under an hour I am at this point. I had a few set backs so in production mode this should have been able to be nocked back to say 35 - 45 minutes



Oh I did stop and check my email at some point and also went on my forum. The kids were playing in the saw dust and I went inside for something soomewhere along the way.







Next to flip it and hollow it out. Now I was trying a new chisel, a swan neck. This has a curve and thought would be good to get under the rim. Wowzers ... be careful with that one!!!! I decided to go to the straight one .... must say it worked rather well



These are the chisels in question. Pencil helps scale size of blade.







And here is the bowl almost finished but still mounted at 4:38:45 pm







Now inside and done ... ok I dropped it and put a dent in the bottom but shhh sont tell anyone.

Finally, 4:39:30pm, it has made it finished onto the work bench.



1 hour, 53 minutes and 48 seconds later .... from the time it landed by the tape to the time it was done. Im happy with that for what is only my 5th bowl or so.



Ubeaut ... thanks Neil, was able to finish on the lathe thanks to EEE and Shellawax. Think I should have worked the outside a little more.
