Tools and materials I propose:
PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder
In this video I carve a wood bowl out of basswood. I used mostly hand tools. I also used a few power carving tools in some situations.
I begun by drawing the basic shape of my bowl.
I then started removing material with a gouge.
Once I was deep enough I used my small grinder with a rasp disc to even the surface.
I then used a goose neck scraper to smooth the surface even more.
Then I cut the outer shape on the bandsaw.
I started shaping with gouges and my small grinder.
At this point I decided the interior needed more work. This time I used my spoon carving knife to reach a few difficult spots.
Once I was happy I used files, the grinder, sand paper and scrapers to smooth everything up.
I flattened the base on my jointer and I finished the bowl with mineral oil.
I didn’t smooth everything completely. I kind of like the hand tools texture but you can sand it to shine if you like.
It was a really interesting project, but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
