The Radial Radial Feature Ring Wood Turning

so I've been thinking about this particular turning for a couple of weeks it's going to be a little bit of a challenge I've done all the steps that you're going to see but I haven't put all of these together in one place so that's the idea and these have to be glued together I've got a piece of sepile yellow heart roasted Oak yellow heart and paduke I'll need two boards like this I'm just going to show you this one and I'm not really going to show you all the gluing up on here because you've all seen glue up I'll bring you back about the time we're putting clamps on it but it's really going to be just setting these boards up like this and getting glue on it like that I'll see you as soon as I get the clamps on all right I added a couple more clamps I'm going to let this sit all day I've got to go fix my leaky faucet this is one of the boards I glued up yesterday and what I'm going to do now is cut this into thin strips three quarter inches wide and I'm using my wedgie sled which is set up at 30 degrees that's the only rail I'll use to do this in order to get all the strips at three quarters I have the stop set up to do that after each cut I bump up against that stop all the pieces will be a parallel three quarter inch I'm going to show you some of the cuts they all look exactly the same my very first cut is going to be cutting this off that becomes a a scrap piece but you know I'm going to save that and make something out of it so I'm going to show you some of these I'll stop and show you how they go together and then I'll finish cutting everything and then we'll start gluing those pieces together [Music] so all the pieces will look just like this and it looked like that when I cut them off we'll be flipping them like so this is how you make a chevron pattern if you're doing a feature ring but we are not making a future ring but I'm using that method to create what we're going to have so I'm going to cut all the pieces up I'll come back and I'll show you how they get glued together all right let's get glue so here's what we got going on here I need 10 sections just like that they have to line up like this or it's not going to look right So the plan is to get glue on the joints [Music] rub them together it's end grain so I want to make sure it's on both sides and let it soak in get them lined up let the glue tack up meanwhile I can be doing the same thing to another group of these and I'll show you how I'm going to clamp them up and why I can do this in a series is up three at a time so let's just go ahead and get some glue on there and you'll see what we're doing so I'm just going to put it on one side and then we'll rub them together like this that was enough glue for each side okay this is how I'll be clamping them got them in my vise foreign they don't slide like so and tighten it up see the glue coming up they're not going to slide now so I have three vices similar to this so I can get three going and probably change them out in 20 minutes or so I'll see you when it's time to do the next operation on this this is when it's going to start getting pretty cool but a little tricky so I got all the pieces cut and the next step is to cut an 18 degree angle from here up that direction I'll need to do that to all the pieces then I'll flip them and get 18 degrees off of this side that will make a included angle of 36 degrees 10 of these at 36 should add up to 360 and we should be able to get it glued together and I hope we do because I only had enough yellow heart to make two extra pieces I'm going to put it in this paper cutting sled that I made because you really would have a hard time holding that with a wedgie sled this is adjustable to any angle I want to make and I check it out with my digital protractor let's go ahead and cut some of these and I'll come back and we'll flip it around and cut the other side [Music] I just got through cutting the angle on one side of all the pieces I need to put that same angle on this side I've readjusted the sled I'm gonna go ahead and show you cutting a couple of these it'll look exactly the same and the next time we see you we should be gluing this together so I've got both angles on all of these pieces underneath here these are the extras just in case it didn't go together I could cut a special segment to go in there well guess what I didn't need to do that there it is that's what it looks like I didn't really want to show you that now but I want to talk about something here that I've been wanting to do for a long time I hear many many times people say that if you're going to make a bottom out of segments it's impossible totally impossible to get the segments to meet in the middle well that met as tight as you could possibly get it it's not impossible at all I do it all the time that's as sharp as can be right there the trick and it's not really a trick is when you're cutting that and you're making that cut through there you have to go really slow 60 tooth carbide blade real slow that edge will stay together so I may not keep it this way I just wanted you to see that it can be done I actually Drew this up with the idea of maybe having a quarter or 3 8 a dowel in here out of this dark wood so I don't know what do you think would that look good it looks good the way it is but we'll see what happens when I get it glued together whether we do that or not well I've been looking forward to this step it's time to glue it together I did have some concerns about all these pieces that have to match at the Joint it's a little different than a normal segment so I put some duct tape on each one of these and I think it's going to prevent it from sliding the only thing I have to do is line this up I think so I went ahead and flattened the ends of these because I knew that I was going to put a piece of dark wood in there and getting rid of those points is going to make it all go together easily and not catch so I'm going to flip this over we're gonna get some glue in it because I can open that up and uh and we'll get a clamp on it so I'll go ahead and do that and let it sit the rest of the day and then we can get it mounted up and turned I've got it in the Chuck now and I don't want to just make a flat plate out of this so I'm going to use the bowls from a board method I'm going to use my ring cutting fixture that I made and I do have a video on this and how I use it and how it's adjustable so I can make any angle I want I'll put a link in the description for that I also have these little upright set up I use this on another video the first ring cut perfectly and it worked great the second ring I didn't have this set up right it was the second time I used it and I missed one step so I'm going to do it again and I'll move the camera so you can watch all this happen but the reason that I'm using this is there's 20 glue joints coming around here and I've got these little gear looking things on here if this is spinning and it falls off and hits the bed of the table chances are those are going to break if this was just a bowl from a board that isn't glued together and it's round I wouldn't worry about it I've been very successful cutting it and if it reaches the table which it doesn't always do it's not a problem it just kind of spins and I shut the lathe off and it's time to cut the next ring I'm going to move the camera so you can watch this and we'll go ahead and see how everything works out all right here it goes and I don't think I mentioned but I'm cutting a 40 degree angle on this it's going to be more straight up and down and the reason is I don't have a lot of room here and I don't want to cut into this foreign about 500 RPM we are there okay [Music] worked perfect well I'm happy with my little ring catching device that I made and the first one I stopped a little early because it just cut through and it was hanging on by one piece so you didn't get to see it fall against these rails and just sit there but you did on this ring and I'm pretty happy with that so I'm not cutting any more Rings because well I don't want to get any closer to those points I used my glue press to get this top ring on and that's because this has basically 10 segments Cole Jaws have eight stops on it and I just felt I could get it closer doing this so let's get this over onto the lathe and start turning it I've got it in the lathe ready to turn it like so many of the glue ups there's much more work involved in cutting these pieces and gluing them back together and there is actual turning this bottom is about three quarters thick the walls are about a half I can put a little bit of shape here maybe dish out the bottom a little bit I'm going to cut it and see how it looks hollowed out slightly got a freshly sharpened half inch Bowl gouge returning about 700 RPM I think foreign [Applause] scraper to finish blending this top Edge in [Music] thank you all these glue joints coming together this tool really does a good job we got it dished out I think it looks good I have to drill a hole in here now like I talked about and then I have to make a a little insert out of the roasted Oak foreign I've got it set up to try to blend this top Rim into the bottom area and this is doesn't have a lot of stock here maybe it has 7 16 maybe a little bit less this is pretty much solid and so is this I've got a piece of melamine fastened to a chuck it's in a ball bearing Arbor that I have here this will take the vibrations out of this piece and it'll cut a lot better oh I've got my half inch Bowl gouge and I'm gonna see if I can just nibble these things off without having them chip got the RPM up around 850. all right I don't even have to sharpen this because I didn't use this side of the scraper I use this side so actually have a freshly sharpened one over there I'll put a little light on that the blade here [Music] alrighty I think it's time to sand foreign sure is lighting up so I'm going to go ahead and sand the outside with the lathe running in Reverse at about 400 RPM and start with 100 grit and I just got to be careful I don't knock these Corners off so what I'll end up doing is when I get up close to them I use a piece of paper with the lathe running in reverse and do that I'm going to do the exact same thing on the inside and work my way up to 400 and we'll come back and get a finish on it thank you it's all sanded to 400 and I decided to use the Minwax polycrylic but I'll start with the Minwax water-based sanding sealer this doesn't look as good as some finishes when you put it on because it's a little milky after about two coats it doesn't look that way but I'll let you see this yeah that looks all right so real easy to put on all the coats go on like this but once you get the polycrylic and you start putting it on a little bit lighter so I'll go ahead and do the back get a couple coats of this on it get the polycrylic on it and then I'll come back and show you what we have okay we're almost done and it is looking pretty nice I put two coats of Minwax water-based Sandy sealer three coats of Minwax polycrylic I just went over it with the X abrasive paste and my last step is using the Polish restoring paste I have something new here here's the ax polish restoring paste I usually use I now have a can of this still called polish restoring paste but it's now double the Carnauba wax I have not used this I just opened it it is a little thicker feeling I guess there's more Carnauba wax in it so we're going to get to see how this works at the same time oh yeah that's that's a lot a lot thicker we're going to get some of this on here and I like to let it sit for maybe five minutes so I'm going to get this on let it sit for five ten minutes maybe because I have something to do and I'll come back and we'll buff it out and see if it looks even better than the other polishing wax all right I think that's that long enough I'm going to buff it out with a soft cloth I'm gonna be spending about 600 RPM I don't know if you can see it but it really took on a really nice shine just like glass I like that a lot I was hoping to get a finish on this piece like that and I don't even know if you got to see that but I need that anymore so that's that's how I put the Tenon on with hot glue so we're going to take that off and then I'll have to finish the bottom I'm just going to drip some denatured alcohol around the hot glue I'll put that on there and when I come back I'll show you we can just lift it off all right I just need to sand this a little bit and get a finish on it and I'll see you when we're through with that well here it is it is all done what do you think I sure like it it's a lot of fun to do here's the bottom I think that looks pretty nice finish 10 inches in diameter it's two and a quarter inches tall the walls are about 5 16. I use Minwax the water-based sanding sealer and Minwax poly acrylic went over it with ax abrasive paste and then I tried this new polishing restoring paste it has double the carnauba wax I'd say I got a decent finish on there what do you think of the rim up here with the little sculpted edges let me know so a lot of glue a lot of cutting a lot of scraps I ended up with well 20 pieces of these it's like well the toss those out or maybe you do this you glue them together and you get another turning so I'll show this again in a future video I've got a request to do something has nothing to do with this piece but I'll be able to use this piece to show my hot glue tenants so be sure to watch for that anyways I really had a lot of fun making this and I hope you enjoyed the video thanks for watching be sure to let me know if you like the video a thumbs up would be great but I also love reading your comments and I will do my best to answer them all a special thanks to all my subscribers and if you're not subscribed please consider doing so I do all types of turnings and feel free to let me know what you'd like to see thanks again and until the next time see you later
