Beginners segmented bowl

Good work on this bowl Murch. It’s great to recycle old pieces of furniture etc. There’s a lot of discarded stuff with nice wood which would normally be burned up. Doing segmented work is a very good way to use it. It looks like you are really enjoying the work, and that’s what is all about.

Very nice first bowl, now that you have started, it may be hard to stop. I started out real easy also, and am
now rebuilding an old Delta 8” saw just to use for cutting segments. It does not have to be great like Sam
Shakouri’s work, it just has to be fun and maybe a little challenging. Thank you for sharing and keep having
fun with your shed growing apprentice.

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s worth fitting my 7×12 metalwork for the occasional wood turning project.

Stefan – You’re right, it is very satisfying to make something functional from scrap.

Gus – Ha-ha you have a good memory. Thanks for the comment and best of luck with that restore.

Mad William – I only recently got into wood turning. I’m mid 40’s and sorry I didn’t do it years ago.

I am looking to buy a low cost mini lathe to play with. I am thinking about a HF special. I really want to play with stuff like this. Any suggestions?

And really nice bowl murch. Gives me even more drive.

Lots of good info there. I have a “Sheppach” that I find to be excellent
