Beginner Wood Turning Projects - SCRAP WOOD BOWLS

Beginner woodturning bowls that sell very fast at craft shows and farmers markets. These scrap wood bowls have been a great seller for me the last 2 christmas seasons. Even the most begineer, entry level woodturner can make this style of bowl in 20 minutes or less. In this woodturning video I show each of the steps. Most beginner woodturners don't have a chuck, so I made sure to only use a faceplate and hot glue for this easy and fast woodturning project.

*Who am I?* I am a husband and father. I've spent my life supporting my family with my bare hands as a proud tradesman. I have worked as an electrician most of my life in plants or the oilfield. I have recently turned my hobby into a career and work full time for a custom woodworking shop while still presuing my dream to one day support my family with my own custom woodworking shop.  This is me, taking my shot, from my tiny shed shop in east Texas. I'm using my two hands to build a foundation for my family. By purchasing from my store you're not just buying a unique, handcrafted item, you're supporting a craftsman. I'm chasing my dream of creating a self-supporting small business. Your support is making it possible. Thank you!

Thank, love the square bowl idea, plenty of scraps laying around.

[vasiliosf]

Not a bad idea. There's been some cigar smoking places opening up in my area recently. Probably make some and sell to them.

hey Brad, thanks, great video.... glad I found you

[brianwaters]

I made some like this, drilled 3 or 4 holes in the underside and glued in neodymium magnets and they make superb pin bowls for sewers. The pins stay in the bowl but are easy to pick up when you need one

[carledmondson]

Thanks for making this video, great for beginners!

[daveporter]

Well, you got a view from me and a thumbs up. Have a good 1.

[MorningwoodTurning]

Thanks for the video. I've turned pens for a while. I'm branching out (no pun intended 😄) into other turned items and am always looking for inspiration.

Great Video, Brad! Love how you explain everything!

[Nails]

Great project ideas! Thanks for the video Brad!

[DennyNebgen]

If you use alcohol on the hot melt glue it will soften the glue and allow you to remove the block from the base very easy. Nice video to save scraps.

[kinsomniac]

Hey Brad. Pricing has always been the hardest part for me. That, and my family members stealing everything I make. This is very helpful.

[SteveC]

Those are really cool, Brad! Great video.

[spiritwynd]

I might just have to make a few of these!

[williamellis]

Those are nice, Brad. I don't do turning but it's interesting to see.

[MikePeaceWoodturning]

Good idea! A bit easier to turn than my longer ones where you are turning a propeller!

[masterofnonetv]

Really cool stuff! A friend is giving me a wood lathe and I'm excited to make some stuff!

[carldavis]

I just got a new customer wanting two cigar ashtrays / box thing with a coaster for bourbon. Now I know how I’m going to do it thanks for the Inspiration

[HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Great idea! I need to whip some of these up. I need more $40 and below items. What colored stain was that you used?

Hey Brad, just found your channel. Great piece and a nice selection at the end too! Thanks for sharing.
