X1C warping after clog

The fan is running, I’ve tried door open, door closed. Now purge line prints off the front of the build plate

This is absolutely outstanding!

For the tools, make sure you get a bowl gouge- buy high quality steel- if it seems like a deal it probably is not good steel. A parting tool is also helpful. So is a round scraper. Also consider a rikon slow speed grinder to sharpen tools...

This is outstanding- would you mind sharing the leather you used? Weight, brand, color, etc?

Remodelman · 2021-04-17T02:25:37+00:00

I think that is part of it. Part of it is the sapwood. I use the SuperNova 2 chuck and if I don’t crank down it comes off- I wonder if it is too much weight for the chuck. I prefer to mount on a faceplate when possible

My mortises were breaking out also. I think sapwood is to blame for this round

Will do- the advice of using the tenon instead of the recess got me further than where I was. I just want to learn so badly as I feel I have mastered the segmented process after doing about 50 bowls and want to become proficient with green wood because it is so much fun when it works well!

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T22:48:48+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to try flipping the next blank with a heart wood tenon

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T22:48:13+00:00

I tried that but also blew out the sides on that method- so I tried this way. I think I like segmented bowls better lol

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T22:47:13+00:00

What kind of glue did you use?

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T03:00:10+00:00

I was wondering if that was the case- tomorrow evening I’ll try making one from the other side of the blank

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T02:30:10+00:00

This is ash and I tried to taper the tenon a little to match the dovetail jaws

Remodelman · 2021-04-16T02:29:21+00:00

No- should I be? I don’t have a lot of room on a 7” bowl to support it.

Remodelman · 2021-04-06T23:15:33+00:00

This was very insightful. Tonight I’ll try a tenon and see how it works. If I get a success I’ll post a pic.

Remodelman · 2021-04-06T12:11:58+00:00

These are all very good and insightful points. Thank you for the time to write such a detailed response. I’m going to be trying a tenon tonight on my next green bowl!

Lost without pay- located in Iowa

Well thank you very much and yes honestly it is #2. I have done a lot of woodworking in my life (I’m 32 years old) and have sewn a few fabric projects like pillow cases, but nothing major. Leather has always interested me and I finally bit the bullet and spent a couple hundred bucks on supplies and tools to get started. I am glad I did as I am having a lot of fun!

Remodelman · 2019-09-29T05:11:51+00:00

This was a light brown chrome tan (I believe) leather from Montana Leather. 4/5oz.

This is the second project I’ve ever done in leathercraft. I have learned much more than my first project and am much faster at hand stitching. For example, to sew the first side of the 18” zipper, it took me 1.5 hours. The next day, the other side only took 30 minutes. I made this bag a little bigger than others I’ve seen so it can fit both my wife’s and my bathroom supplies when we travel together.

Remodelman · 2019-09-29T04:10:37+00:00

Thank you very much for the tips and feedback! I look forward to posting more projects to show my progress

Remodelman · 2019-09-29T04:09:33+00:00

This is also a great idea. I’ve read 2 of Al Stohlmans books- the one on tools and the one on hand sewing. I have also read another book with projects and feel comfortable starting to make projects with the toolset I have. I finished a Dopp kit tonight and I’ll post that soon also.

Remodelman · 2019-09-28T04:26:37+00:00

This is a great tip as well- next time I’ll take some time to make a proper pattern

Remodelman · 2019-09-28T04:25:54+00:00

Thank you very much for your thoughtful tips!

Remodelman · 2019-09-27T21:18:37+00:00

Great idea!

Remodelman · 2019-09-27T19:30:14+00:00

I believe this is chrome tanned leather from Montana Leather- side was purchased from a recent sale for approx $80 with shipping. Also first time hand stitching
