wtnhighlander Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Interesting clamp system, Gary. Is that a veneer press screw, or a scavenged vice screw? The twisted rope is an excellent solution, do you find that glue adheres to the nylon, much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a press screw I bought online for that purpose then built a press table with it. The rope clamp I learned from Earl Rasmussen who has Earls Small Segment Shop on Youtube. Learned quite a bit from him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted August 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Heres a sight. Trying to build a large shallow bowl/ platter type vessel. Having to clamp the final trim ring on because the edges of the lower rings dont have enough support to really squeeze from the tailstock. Two f clamps, two c clamps, four welders vice grips and dripping with glue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 That looks great, Gary! The rim compliments the patterns in the bowl wonderfully. What species are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main body is chinaberry wood and the rim is some kind of rosewood I got from another woodworker clearing out his shop. Heres some shots finished. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Beasley Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I was trying out a chunk of sapele and some scraps of another dark wood. Worked on it two days and this is what I get for it. Turned it too thin and a segment broke through. Thats what I get for trying to make it perfect! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted January 7, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I found some turning blanks stashed away on the shelf that had been there a few years, thought its about time to see what I can do with them. First one I think was Jatoba, though it had no id on the label. Mounted on a worm screw and turned a square edged bowl once done. The next one I decided to do it inside out so I turned the corners down as legs and made the bottom float clear of the table. Spalted ambrosia maple. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Nice work, Gary. That is some striking color variation on the first one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
