December 11, 20178 yr Popular Post Who says you need a shop to make a bowl? These are the first pictures of a yarn bowl i'm doing for my daughter. More to come!!!!!!
December 15, 20178 yr I like that real well... Everyone has a head full of ideas but only a few knows how to bring them to life. If it were mine I would finish it with a can of clear. There are lots of brands and types of clear, but first I would try it on some pieces of wood to get the feel of how much to spray and how close to hold the can while spraying....And I would sand the sharp top edges down before spraying. Gives it a good feel. And if it were mine I would rub it down with 0000 steel wool and Johnson's paste wax. But it ain't mine. But if it were mine and I had my name on it I would sure want to do that. Edited December 15, 20178 yr by Smallpatch
December 15, 20178 yr Author Good ideas small patch. I have to make the insides super smooth so it won't catch the yarn. Especially the two holes I have to drill through the sides for the yarn!!!
December 15, 20178 yr Mike I use lacquer but you can get shellac, enamel , or other clear stuff to shoot. I like lacquer cause I can recoat faster then after a few coats with like 400 grit sand paper between coats then I like to use 0000 steel wool and Johnson's after the last coat. You might add some to the inside of the hole also. I understand yarn will catch on lots of small things..

December 16, 20178 yr I have a Burnmaster Hawk. I have used it for some embellishment on turnings and for signing my work.

I use a round point and a knife edge tip. It takes awhile to get the technique down, along with ALOT of expermenting ( high/low heat) tips and drawing speed.

December 21, 20178 yr Mike, you forgot the swivel wheels. Those ladies close by will be knocking your door down for orders.

December 24, 20178 yr True Mike, and the average person has no clue as to how long you spent from buying the wood till you are completely finished...
