Black Label woodworks

A journey into wood turning.

Are you part of a woodturning club? I do interactive remote demos through Zoom on many topics. Visit my website for details on my demos and A schedule of pay per seat demos that I have open to the public.

There are risks involved with woodturning. My videos are only for entertainment purposes. If your not familiar with the turning techniques I use consult with an experienced instructor or mentor. Always use appropriate eye, face, and lung protection while woodturning.

Getting close to completing the first video on building a segmented project with the wedge-pro from Quality First Wood Products.

Mike over at Quality First Wood Products sent me one of there Wedge-Pro sleds a little while ago to try out. So far I am very impressed in the craftsmanship and all the safety features they packed into it. Not to mention how easy it was to adjust between the number of segments per ring. Without having to fiddle adjusting it I was able to make a 16 segment test ring with no gaps in the joints. Stay tuned for a video making something with it.

Sorry for the delay in posting videos its been awhile since my last one. I have been in the process of moving into a new house and that involved moving my shop to. Getting the shop setup has been a big project. Getting the electric that I need into the detached garage is taking longer then I expected. I should have a new video out in the next few weeks.

Interested in seeing me turn in person. If your in New Jersey this is your chance. I will be turning with some other great turners from the Atlantic Shore Woodturners at the woodworking show in the New Jersey Convention And Exposition Center in Edison. If your at the show come say hi.

Every have one of those days? Your turning a bowl and you get to close to the bottom. I was coring this 14 inch bowl and quickly realized I got to close to the bottom when the core broke out of the bowl prematurely. I wanted to do something different from the resin I used to fix the last funnel so I added a base to it. If you want to see the first funnel bowl I fixed check it out here. https://youtu.be/6D3TH_mHjkw

There are multiple ways to turn a bowl. Do you use scrapers or gouges when you turn bowls?

There are several types of flute shapes on bowl gouges. What's your favorite one? Let everyone know why down in the comments.
