Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Bandsaw

Flexcut starter carving set

In this video I make a hollow vessel with carved elements out of poplar. 

I begun by cutting my blank on the bandsaw.

I then turned it true between centres and created the tenon for my chuck. 

I shaped my piece and then drilled my depth hole. 

I started hollowing with my bowl gouge. I also used the hook tool and side scrapper. 

I then divided my piece and started carving  the elements. 

Finally I cleaned the bottom and applied a coat of mineral oil. 

And it was ready. I am really happy with the result. See you soon with a new project video.

In this video I make this spiralling form out of poplar. 

I begun by trueing the piece between centres and then I turned a tenon for the chuck.

After shaping the exterior form with a bowl gouge I drilled the interior with a forstner bit. 

I then used my dividing set up and marked my spirals. 

I started removing material with my carving grinder. 

I then used a v shaped rasp bit on my rotary tool to finish shaping. 

Then using my sanding blocks I sanded the piece. 

After parting the piece off the lathe I carved the bottom with three legs. 

Finally I applied a coat of mineral oil.

I am very happy with the result, but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

In this video I experimented with this spiralling form on the lathe. The wood I used is platani and had some kind of spalted texture.

I begun by turning the basic shape of my form. This was basically bowl gouge work. 

I then used my dividing system to divide my pieces in segments. This way I could easily draw the spirals. 

I then started remove material with my carving grinder and my rotary tool. 

I then carved my shape with more detail and sanded it. 

I also carved four legs on the bottom.

I finished the piece with mineral oil. 

And that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

In this video I make a face shaped vase out of poplar wood. 

I begun by squaring my stock on the jointer planer and the table saw. 

Then I found my centre points. 

I removed as much material as I could on the bandsaw and table saw. 

I used a hand plane to clean the saw marks. 

Then I mounted the piece between centres on the lathe and turned the points I wanted. 

Then I drilled the vase hole on the lathe using a forstner bit. 

I used a cone on my chuck and flipped the piece over to make the bottom concave so it sits nicely on a flat surface. 

I then used my rotary tool to power carve the face. 

I also used files and chisels where ever I had to. 

Then I added some texture using my rotary tool. 

Finally I applied a coat of sealer and buffed it on the wheel with carnauba wax. 

And that was it. My little vase is ready. See you soon with a new project video.

How to make a kuksa on the lathe - Woodturning

 

Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Table saw

Flexcut starter carving set

Pyrography Pen Wood Burning Kit

Buffing kit

In this video I make a kuksa mug on the lathe. Usually this is made using hand carving knives. But I thought it would be a good challenge to make it on a lathe. It actually involved a few really interesting techniques. I made it out of basswood.

I begun by preparing my stock on the planer and table saw. 

With this this technique I will actually have two blanks after the first stage of woodturning. 

After preparing my two blanks I added a few guide lines. I also had to consider the pieces of wood that would had to be removed because of tool marks from the chuck and tailstock.

To glue the two pieces together I added a piece of paper in between. This would help me separate the pieces later on. 

At this point I started turning the outer shape of my kuksa. Once I was ready I split the two blanks in half with a chisel. 

The I took one blank and put it on a screw chuck to make a tenon on the other side. 

I then chucked it on the jaws and hollowed it out with a bowl gouge. 

To clean the bottom I used my bowl bottom cleaning jaws. 

Next I did some fine tunings on the shape with a carving knife. 

I carved a flower on it’s handle and used my wood burner to decorate it. 

Finally I buffed the mug with carnauba wax.

And my kuksa was ready. 

It was a really interesting project, but that was it. 

See you soon with a new project video.
