V1017 - Turning Bowls – Dennis White Teaches Woodturning Volume 2

Dennis is an 80 year old British woodturner who has worked on a lathe for 65 years. This video is his “blank way” of making a bowl. He shows three chucking methods and turns five bowls. None of the chucking methods are the current standard four jaw chuck, but are rather:

1. Expanding jaws into a recess 2. Faceplate, leaving screw holes 3. Jam chuck for a clear turned bottom

All the bowls he turns are from dry blanks. He turns several regular bowls, a footed bowl and a lidded bowl. Video work is pretty good and the voice-over is pretty good at explaining what is going on. No discussion of design and all the bowls are utilitarian.

D3018 - Bihn Pho – This Wall Turning

This DVD focuses of Bihn’s method of thin turning. He shows how to turn a bowl, an end grain vessel and a (very scary hollow form) winged vessel.

Bowl 1. Rough turning between centers 2. Chucking and outside clean up 3. Inside turning. First third turned first all the way to rim and final thickness to avoid chatter on

the thin rim. He uses light transmission through the bowl to judge thickness. He uses both bowl goige and shear scraping.

4. Reverse and jam chuck to turn off bottom

Vessel from whole log 1. Turning to a cylinder and cleaning up surface 2. Drilling hole to depth 3. Hollowing the vessel using a hook tool and different scrapers, again from center to final edge

thickness, stepping down one inch at a time. Bihn drills holes where his future cutouts will be to judge wall thickness.

4. Shaping the bottom of the outside, then finishing the inside 5. Reverse jam chucking and turning off foot

Page 9: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

Winged Vessel 1. He starts with a turned cylinder just like step 1 in the vessel for a whole log, but then mounts

it on a jig and cuts the wings on a bandsaw. 2. Drilling hole to depth 3. Shape the outside of vessel and shear scrape 4. Hollowing the vessel 5. Cleanup, shaping and cutting the wing The camerawork is very good and he also uses white board to explain what he is doing. He also does a good job of narrating what he is doing at each step.

Return to index

D3019 - Bihn Pho – Surface Design This DVD focuses of Bihn’s method of decorating the surfaces of his thin wall turnings including piercing, stippling, gold leafing and airbrushing. 1. Discussion of transparent colors for airbrushing 2. Drawing the design, including transfer of photocopied images and discussion of color and

pierced panel locations 3. Masking the color panels 4. Background airbrushing of panels 5. Using liquid mask for complicated painting 6. Airbrushing Techniques

• Single color graduation • Complex color graduation

7. Piercing design 8. Piercing technique 9. Surface Texturing – Both pyrography (woodburning) and stippling.

Turning Pens with Kip and Rex, Volume 1 – Not in our library

By Rex Burningham & Kip Christensen

They focus on making the Slimline pen, but with several variations.

First is a standard Slimline out of cocobolo, including cutting the blanks, then drilling the holes for the tubes, including jigs you can make to help. Next is gluing in the brass tubes, then using the barrel trimmer to mill the ends. On the lathe they show mounting, roughing and finishing cuts. Next comes sanding and finishing with friction polish. After turning the pen they review pen assembly, again including some helpful jigs.

Most of the variation they discuss involve elimination of the centerband, giving a wide range of different looks. They also add done decoration details such as fingertip grooves, wire burned banding and creating your own centerbands.

Page 10: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

They then review each of the turning tools they use and well as adhesives that can be used. They also review the different materials they use for penmaking.

D3017 - Turn It On with Jimmy Clewes

Three volume DVD set

Page 11: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

Jimmy is an energetic Brit who is very engaging and comfortable teaching his craft. The format on each DVD is the same with Jimmy turning two projects and closes with two non-project extra features. Camera work is great throughout and Jimmy is very clear in his explanations through each step of the project. The projects each show a more advanced technique that basic turning.

Volume 1: Project 1 on is a footless bowl made from a spalted Birch burl. Special emphasis is given on how to handle punky areas on spalted wood with good tool selection and technique. He also discusses bowl form and how to match the interior curve with the exterior.

Project 2 is a rectangular winged Oriental style box. He shows how to deal with a rectangular form and a variety of chucking methods required for the project. He also shows how to gold leaf the interior of the box.

In Extra Feature 1 Jimmy spends a great deal of time reviewing his different bowl gouges and their grinds and how he uses them. He then shows how to grind each of the shapes he uses

Extra Feature 2 is a conversation where Jimmy explains about his life as a professional turner and his constant travelling and the wonderful people he meets.

Volume 2: Project 1 is a Ziracote bowl with a wide undercut rim. He shows how to enhance the rim with bands of brass, using brass powder and epoxy. He also shows how to do a sheering cut with the gouge to get a really nice finish on difficult woods.

Project 2 is a small goblet with a very long, very thin stem – unsupported. He shows the technique for turning the thin stem section by section to eliminate vibration and wobble that could ruin the piece.

Extra Feature 1 covers how to cut up a tree for turning blanks.

In Extra Feature 2 Jimmy visits the ancient Roman museum at Vindolanda to review Roman woodturned pieces

Volume 3: Project 1 is the first time Jimmy has turned a glued up blank. The Wenge and Maple blank is used for a lidded box. He really focuses on form and design, especially of the finial and the bottom.

Project 2 is a Walnut burl bowl with silver dots. This bowl is turned with all curves and no flats. There is an undercut rim which is studded with 16 silver rods. Jimmy shows how to measure drill, glue and finish the silver adornments.

Extra Feature 1 is Jimmy’s technique for getting good fitting box lids.

Extra Feature 2 is a behind the scenes look at the making of this DVD set, including interviews with the director. It also shows the special camera work done to capture the the detail of Jimmy’s turning.

B4065 - 500 Wood Bowls

Lark Books: 2 Edited by Katherine Duncan Aimone

Page 12: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

paperback, 420 pp., $24.95

ISBN 1-57990-483-1

In a fine color presentation, Lark Books presents gallery photos of artistic bowls in wood. Some are carved, some are segmented, most are turned on a lathe. Some utilize added metals or gold leaf, marquetry, pyrography or piece assembly. All are amazing in their degree of creativity.

The bowls selected were juried by Ray Leier and Jan Peters of del Mano Gallery in California, and Kevin Wallace, an independent curator and writer. Artists are represented from Sweden, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, England, Australia and New Zealand, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the United States and South Africa.

Several of the artists have included comments on their work: "I see the wood form as my canvas," says Stephen Gleasner. Nancy Anderson says, "The deeper into the burl you go, the more beautiful the grain." Jack Fifield states, "The goal is to develop a form of lightness and dynamic balance."

These artworks are, when pulled together for such an opulent display as this, a testament to human vision, each one as unique as its maker. This is truly an inspirational gallery of work.

D3003 - Starting Your Creative Engine By Frank Sudol

This is a very different DVD from most of the others in our library. The whole DVD is a series of conversations Frank has with the viewer. The DVD is geared to helping you break out of the desire to copy other people’s work and release your own creative style, He starts with three assumptions:

1. Everyone has talent 2. We all are different, but generally try to be like everybody else 3. There is no reality, only perception

This last assumption is discussed in detail, the main theme of which is there is no “absolute” definition of what is right or good, but rather it is only people’s perceptions and since all people are different all our perceptions are different. This is his main rational for not copying or listening to judges. He fells that copying is good to learn skills, but shouldn’t be represented as your work.

He also spends quite a bit of time disparaging the judging of pieces, ie. instant gallery judging, etc. because it again is only one or two people’s perception of what is good, not the reality of what is good. He discusses where he once agreed to judge, but found himself favoring work that was like his, or people who had won awards before or people that he knew. None of these are valid, so he has never judged again.

Page 18: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

He challenges us to make something that is for yourself, that you really like. Put your passion and your beliefs into it and this will show through. Don’t ask others how it looks or how to fix things, do it yourself, since your confidence will be boosted when you develop the solutions. Depend on yourself for your identity and not others. He shows examples of his work that developed from this kind of challenge that led his work into a whole new diection.

V1053 – Turned Boxes – The Finial Box

Ray Key

40 minute videotape and DVD

This video is a very detailed explanation of how to make a box where the top of the box is a finial, as opposed to a top with a finial added. Ray uses a drawings on a flip to clearly explain what he will do and then shows you on the lathe.

Two unusual aspects of the video include the use of a wooden chuck mandrel which is used to finish turn the bottom of the finial and the use of a rather uncommon tool – the 3/8” parting/beading tool. This tool is basically a 3/8” wide parting tool, but he uses it as a kind of skew for final shaping in addition to the regular parting cut.

This is a very good video showing how Trent makes his Vessels of Illusion. Basically this is a carved hollow vessel that has a turned insert added to make it look like it is a vessel in a vessel.

Page 19: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

The video starts in the woodyard with Trent showing how to cut a silver maple log which he then bandsaws into a turning blank. He mounts the blank between centers and does the initial shaping of the outside using a bowl gouge. He turns a tenon and mounts in chuck and continues his preliminary shaping of the outside.

He then hollows the form using mainly a straight cutter in a Stewart arm brace. Final hollowing with a bent cutter is done to get to 3/8” wall thickness. This gives enough to carve the exterior. He does further refinement of the base of the vessel, but leaves it in the chuck for carving.

Carving starts with sketching of the leaves around the opening and then cutting the initial shaped with a small reciprocating saw. Further shaping is done with a carbide burr in a die grinder, followed by adding more detail with a reciprocating carver. He then refines and blends the carving with hand and power sanding.

Once the outside is sanded the base is cut off and the vessel reverse chucked between centers and the bottom finished.

The insert is then tuned to match the interior of the vessel and boiled to make it flexible. It is then inserted in the vessel and a balloon blown up inside to hold the insert in place until it dries. The DVD ends with his finishing method.

D3013 - Sculpting Wood - Beyond the Lathe Trent Bosch

85 minute DVD

Trent starts this video with a review of the safety equipment that he routinely uses. He briefly discusses how he tried to visualize forms he may want to carve by using modeling clay or florist foam.

He then reviews the tools in his arsenal. He has lots of tools starting with aggressive tools like angle grinders with aggressive cutting tips. Next are his pneumatic tools which are mostly die grinders with either carbide burrs or various sanding disks. He also uses a pneumatic reciprocating saw. His next group includes power carvers and detailed die grinders. These are used to refine his sculpted designs. Last are the hand tools, such as riffler files and hand carving tools. He also spends a lot of time discussing different methods of holding the pieces for carving. Most are swivel heads that the piece, still in the lathe chuck is mounted to.

Trent then shows how to use some of these tools on two different roughed out hollow forms. On one he creates a relief are with burrs and sanding. On another form he first carves a series of leave along the lip showing how to do this using different tools. On the other side he shows his trademark overlapping leaf motif that extends further down the vessel.

The goal of the DVD is to show you tools that are available for doing work like his and then to spark your own creativity, rather than show you how to complete a specific type of work.

D3010 - Turned Boxes - The Capsule Box

Ray Key

45 min DVD

This is another in the series on box making by Ray Key. Ray is very deadpan in his presentation, but is very clear in his description of what he is doing. He first uses diagrams to show you what steps he will take and then shows these steps on the lathe. In this DVD he makes two boxes; one his classic “capsule” box and the second a more squat “coolie hat” box.

Ray also uses some unique tools. As in his Final Box DVD he again uses his 3/8” parting/beading tool as both a beefy parting tool and as a sort of skew to finish off after he uses a gouge, especially on curves. Another tool is a modified 3/8” spindle gouge. On one side of this gouge is a short (55°) bevel and on the other side is a very long bevel. This bevel extends back about ½ the length of the gouge. He uses this as a skew scraper to clean up the box surface.

D3024 – The Son of Skew

By Alan Lacer

This is Alan Lacer’s sequel to his “Skew Chisel” DVD. In this DVD however, he really doesn’t focus on techniques, but rather the use of a skew to complete a series of projects.

The projects include:

• Lathe Tool Handle • Spinning Tops

Page 21: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

• Honey Dipper • Duck Call • Fishing Lure • Lace Bobbin • Letter Opener • Egg • Wine Stopper • Door Stops • Furniture Leg (including tips for duplication)

The DVD shows a variety on mounting methods and the use of quite a few different finishes, including innovative techniques like marbelling.

V1052 – Turning Projects

By Richard Raffan

Raffan runs through quite a number of projects at his typical breakneck speed. He primarily uses a skew for his cut and uses it in some very skillful ways. The video is broken down into:

Centerwork projects – Spurtles, spatulas, mallets and some very long, thin turnings

Cutting End Grain projects – Making tops and large spheres

Hollowing End Grain Projects – A little bowl

Facework projects – Beaded trivet and a wine bottle coaster

Following this video will certainly improve your skew work and production speed.

D3021 – Making an Erosion Bowl

By Neil Scobie

Page 22: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

Neil starts the video with a discussion about the inspiration for this bowl shape. It is based on windswept and water eroded shorelines and even logs subjected to these harsh conditions.

He turns a bowl of Huon pine with the eroded rim and four feet. The video quality is very good. Neil uses diagrams to clearly explain what techniques he will use. He also uses wooden models of his gouges to show the grinds he uses and where the different grinds need to be used.

He starts with the bottom forming a ring, which he then grinds away most of the ring to leave the four feet. He then turns the inside of the bowl using an unusual technique where he stands on the backside of the lathe to cut the undercut of the rim with a gouge rather than scraping.

The rest of the video concerns carving the rim with a variety of power grinders and small saning disks. He also uses Kunos to finish the bowl.

D3040 – Closed End Pens Design & Turning Techniques

By Ed Davidson

This video shows how to make pens with either one closed end or two closed ends using a special mandrel to hold the pen blank. Most of the blanks Ed uses are either acrylic or stabilized wood and he shows not only the mounting and turning, but finishing as well. These pens utilize standard pen kits, leaving out some of the parts from the kits. He shows the process a number of times using different types of pen kits; ie., Baron, Jr. Gentleman, El Grande, El Presidente and El Toro styles. He also shows how to turn an unusual “Rocket” pen which is meant to sit on a desk.

Ed does his own camera work, so is limited to a fixed camera position while he is turning. There are a couple of times where a second camera position would have made things clearer.

D3046 – Yo Yo Turnings– The One Piece Design

Page 23: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

By Ed Davidson

Ed shows how to turn a one piece yo yo in both wood and acrylic. His technique involves turning one half with a groove on the edge. Once this side is sanded and finished that side is wrapped with masking tape and reversed in the chuck by the groove. The second side is turned to match the first and the axle is completed. Large O-rings are slipped into the grooves on the finished yo yo for both a better look and to add a little extra weight to the rim helping the yo yo spin.

Ed does his own video work, so basically there is only one fixed view until the next scene where the camera may be moved. This left a times when a second camera position would more clearly explained what was being done. However, you will definitely be able to make on of these yo yos after watching this video.

Basic Off Centre Turning – Not in our library

By Chris Stott

Chris does a series of off center turned projects both between centers and on special chucks. The first two projects, a cabriole leg and a hedgehog toy are turned between centers with simple changes in the pivot points. The third project, a stylized female figure starts between centers, but then switches to a chuck. One end of the piece has been turned so that it can be held and pivoted in the center of the chuck jaws. The fourth project is a small lidded box turned on a Sorby Eccentric Chuck. He then returns to between center turning where he demonstrates the basic cuts using two different pivot positions. The next project is an off center ash bowl. This time using a screw chuck, but two different mounting holes. The last project is another lidded box using a Multi Star Chuck with Gimble.

Page 24: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

He shows a lot of techniques, but there is little discussion about which cuts produce what kind of results. You learn the basic techniques, but I think it would still take a lot of practice to be able to determine beforehand what you’re going to end with.

D3009 – Turnaround

With Jimmy Clewes

This is the first of Jimmy’s DVD’s. Since it’s only a single DVD and not a series of three, he does four projects on this DVD rather than the three he does on his later DVD’s.

He starts with basic spindle turning techniques, showing how to use the spindle roughing gouge, skew, spindle gouge and parting tool. He even includes a section on making a captive ring. The second project is an end grained vase with a natural edge. This is an open piece, so no hollowing tools, but explains how to cut end grain effectively. He tends to use smaller gouges than most, staying with 3/8 & ¼” bowl gouges. The third project is a curly maple platter. Once the platter is made he uses alcohol based dyes to enhance the rim. The last project is making an oyster box out of cocobolo. This is an interesting shaped box where both top and bottom have the same shape.

The last segment of the DVD is how to sharpen your tools. For his gouges he uses the Oneway Wolverine system.

D3048 Turn It Up

With Jimmy Clewes

This is another of Jimmy’s three DVD series. Each series has two projects and an extra feature.

Volume 1 – Jimmy starts this volume with one of his signature turnings, a curly maple disk, with a small bowl cut in the center. The disk is colored with alcohol dyes. The small bowl has hand carving around the edge and is gilded in white gold. The second project is turning a top hat. He turns it very thin, but it is a clear step by step procedure he follows

The special feature is how he mixes and uses his dyes

Page 25: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

Volume 2 – In this volume he turned a natural edged bowl of acacia burl. He discusses form quite a bit because of the shape of the burl. A black line between sapwood and burl make this a stunning piece. The second project is a boxelder box with an ebony chatterwork insert. He spends a good bit of time showing some of the methods for doing chatterwork.

The special feature is a visit to the larges exotic wood store in Germany where they have millions of euros in inventory.

Volume 3 – In the last DVD he makes a double natural edged piece out of red mallee burl. This is basically a platter with an attached small bowl, both of which have the natural burl edge. He has to use some special tools to get into the tight places required for this double design. The second project is a sculptural piece. He starts with a large disk of wood and cuts dips and bowl shapes using multiple chucking centers and turns them on both sides of the wood. This results in some unexpected shapes and gives a good feel for what happens with off-center chucking.

He has several special features for this volume including spinning silver. He spins silver into a cup shape that will fit in one of the bowl shapes he has turned. He also turns a golf tee and then tries it out on the course. There is also a collection of outtakes from the making of this DVD set.

B4062 Turning Boxes

with Richard Raffan

Page 26: Our Library Collection: DVDs Club Meeting DVDs CDs VCRs

This is a definitive work on creating small, decorative boxes. Good background is provided on the lathe, chucks and tools required for turning boxes. Sections follow of cutting wood for planks and rough turning them in prep for final turning.

There is a very good section on design considerations, not only of the box form itself, but finials and bases as well. This is followed by a gallery showing designs from many different artists.

The next section is a very detailed description of how to turn a box, including additional detail on forming a snap fit lid and how to do deep hollowing. This is followed with techniques for surface decoration, including beads, grooves, inserts and chatterwork.

Alternative forms of the basic box are also covered with an addition section on finishing.

D3042 Making the Native American Style Flutes

By Bill Hughes

This is a great video for making a Native American style flute with very clear instructions and very good videography. Bill emphasizes safety throughout the entire video, especially the routing sequence. He reviews wood selection and cutting the blanks, then the routing of the two chambers and the initial cutting of the sound hole. He then turns the flute round on the lathe and shows how to finish the nest area once he is done turning. The rest of the video focuses on fine tuning the flute, both by refining the true sound hole and shortening the bore to get a good fundamental to the drilling and final tuning of the sound holes. He ends the video with finishing of the flute. Following the procedures on this video will certainly allow you to make a great sounding flute.
