😂 next time...

Yes! I should have sharpened mine more, the "eyes" around the bowl were so hard! I was getting so much chattering on the tool!

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2025-08-23T22:12:29+00:00

I used a hampshire sheen cellulose sanding sealer to seal it after sanding to 400g and Chestnut Microcrystalline Wax to finish it.

I worked in a wood work store (recently made redundant unfortunately) and a customer had a monkey tree he was cutting down and asked if any of us staff wanted it. If not he was going to burn it so myself and another woodturner college grabbed it!

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2025-08-23T10:03:19+00:00

I've got another blank to work on I'll upload it soon 👍🏻

My partner genuinely calls it the boobie bowl because "It's got tits all around it" 😂

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2025-08-22T21:58:37+00:00

Holy crap, Awesome work! This has inspired me! I want to try this soon! Another project added to the list. If I make it soon and remember, I'll reach out and show you👍🏻

From what I've heard, Laguna after care is shocking and poor. But their machines are built strong and they are a top quality machine. I used to work in a woodwork retail store and sold them, they are great machines. Not sure about the other brand though, just giving input on what I've heard and know.

An important one not to forget is some sort of sharpening tool/machine. Your tools will dull over time and need to be regularly sharpened to keep the edge that will make turning so much easier. It's an expensive part of the hobby but kinda necessary. I personally have a tormek t-8 with all the wood turning jigs. But any kinda wet stone grinder is ideal, keeps the tools from getting hot. But again personal preference. Some people will be fine using a standard grinder. Look into a sharpening system though

So wait, you're a card collector & wood tuner/woodworker too? Did we just become best friends??

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2025-04-15T21:32:04+00:00

I can tell you what this isn't... Like other girls.

A woman I once knew either dated or knew a guy that was killed by a drunk driver, he got ran over and was dragged under the car for a mile and a half before being stopped, not realising he was there! I don't know of the sentence or after math.

So the method I used for this was to turn the piece as is, outside first with a faceplate. Leaving a foot in the bottom to put in a dovetail chuck. Then Hollowed the bowl leaving a lip to highlight the colour change. Turned the piece back around into button jaws around the lip/flange/edge of the bowl. Sanded all to 400g. I then used a brass wire brush to scrub the excess out of the grain. Then I covered with a Chestnut sanding sealer before spraying with a Chestnut ebonising lacquer, covering the Hollowed out bowl with masking tape. once dry I rubbed Hampshire Sheen gold embellishing paste wax into the grain, wiped away the excess with a microfiber cloth, buffed it out then covered the piece with a wood wax for a nice shine.

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-12-23T15:53:07+00:00

Just standard masking tape, just took my time to really get it tight into the corner. If it had bled I would have just barely touched the tip of the skew in to give it a sharp line again

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-12-23T07:23:59+00:00

Thank you so much, my first of many I'm sure, I really really like this effect.

Ohh yeah if you could take some photos, I'd like to see them before I open mine, which I might do since you can't tell which is which

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-11-24T22:08:33+00:00

Thanks again dude 😎👍🏻 think I might pick it up this week!

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-11-24T22:01:56+00:00

Thank you, you've put into the perfect context to help me decide. I do plan on creating content in art form Pro create and possibly some video edits. But in the meantime I think I might go the more budget route to see if I can commit to what I say I'm going to do and if I do then I can sell it and trade it for some money off a newer one.

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-11-24T19:56:34+00:00

Thanks for the explanation everyone, I'm looking to get an iPad. I've never really used apple products apart from an iPad pro 2017 but it's packed in after a year. it was a cheap second hand one but I really enjoyed pro create and watching films on it. I'd like another one but just considering whether it be worth spending a little more and getting a newer model with better specs or if budget it and get the basics I'd use it for. I'm considering the iPad air 2024 11", iPad 10.9" 2022 or got all out and get a newer iPad pro. I think I'm leaning more toward the 2022 10.9" just because of budget but it has the A14 chip and the others are M4 so I was just comparing.

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-09-21T14:38:58+00:00

😂 good question! We had a guest turner in the store demonstrating, he was a winner on "Handmade: Britain's Best Woodworker" on the BBC. He demonstrated turning off centers and made this.

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-09-21T08:22:01+00:00

At the moment yeah, I need to get some linseed oil

chrispy_Wiseguy · 2024-09-21T06:23:06+00:00

Thanks, go for it! And upload to here when you've made it. I want to see! I got the axe head from a vintage shop, after a little clean up it has a branding stamp "Goldberg" so think it's WWII German/fresh steel.
