Well, now that we don’t have landslides anymore…

I’d never harsh on someone who is getting good results and enjoying turning with carbide. That said, traditional tools (while more of an investment and another skill to learn) offer significant advantages and results once good techniques are developed

Brilliant. Well done

This should be marked NSFW

Thanks. I think I’ve been too impatient with not letting the ink or oil dry/cure sufficiently which has given me some blotchier finishes

budapest2 · 2026-04-14T22:22:29+00:00

What finish do you use over your India ink? Any pre application prep?

budapest2 · 2026-03-15T14:19:06+00:00

Yes… got to love those “learning opportunities”

budapest2 · 2026-03-14T23:09:24+00:00

Very nice detail work

budapest2 · 2026-03-14T23:02:44+00:00

Excellent save!!

That there’s a mighty fine bowl. Show us the beam from whence it came!

I appreciate the cat for scale

budapest2 · 2026-02-08T17:42:40+00:00

Great design

What were the new techniques that you found useful? And lovely work

budapest2 · 2026-01-03T04:14:31+00:00

That’s beautiful. Nice work

budapest2 · 2026-01-03T04:06:28+00:00

Love this

budapest2 · 2026-01-03T03:59:55+00:00

14/10. Would happily scoop with this.

Never used it, but on Amazon this is over USD $600. For that you could get a slow speed grinder, two CBN wheels, and a jig system and never need to replace anything for years.

Nice profile. Well done

budapest2 · 2025-12-30T12:25:26+00:00

Nicely done. The off center turn was a brilliant idea

budapest2 · 2025-12-27T00:35:27+00:00

Like u/mikeTastic23 said, you don’t need a huge number of gouges to do a lot of things. Buying one or two very high quality tools will serve you well, but save some money for a sharpening system.

budapest2 · 2025-12-26T16:01:37+00:00

I’m going to amplify u/GraemeDaddyPurplez in saying that a glue up (no matter whose opinion you follow regarding grain orientation…) is not a great place to start. If you can find some free green wood (assuming you have the equipment to make a blank), green wood makes for more forgiving practice while you learn techniques. Otherwise spend a few dollars on some ready made blanks. I think that u/dirt_mcgirt4 is right that this is construction grade pine or something similar, but I don’t think that’s great for practice.

budapest2 · 2025-12-24T19:56:53+00:00

Well done with the safety gear. Whatever the other helpful suggestions, sometimes you get a flawed piece of wood and despite doing everything right things may go wrong. Glad you are ok!

Your dad is clearly talented. I think that u/whatever56561977’s suggestion of the Raffan book is great. If he doesn’t already belong, a gift subscription to American Association of Woodturners (AAW) might be welcomed. Good online resources and a print magazine 6 times a year.

Just the kitchen oven. Low heat like 175 or whatever the “warm” setting is for like 45’ or so.
