Final Product
Well that was much more work than I thought it would be. That 20 year old wood was hard as a rock. I'm looking forward to using green wood next week to turn my next bowl. It should be easier to turn.

Final Product. My first bowl.

Getting started this morning.. Used my NOVA chuck and Universal Tool Rest which worked great.

I haven't turned anything since 1977,and it was a baseball bat. That was in Junior High School shop class. Today a kid would probably be expelled. How times have changed.
I remember seeing it flex, and that probably convinced me that the job was complete. The tools were probably not too sharp.
Seeing your start and finish photos, I am curious and have lots of questions...is that a Nova Chuck? Why did you switch to that? Did you still turn it with the face plate and 1/2 inch screws? What speed did you use? Was your success contingent on the Powerpro head stock?

Yes, this was the first time I have used the Nova Chuck. I started out with a 3" faceplate screwed into the bottom of the bowl with 1/2 inch screws to round out the stock. I then removed the face plate and used a lathe drive center to shape the bottom, and turned a tenon so I could mount the blank on the Nova Chuck. The screw holes were in the tenon and went away with the tendon after I finshed. It probably wasn't necessary to replace the face plate with the chuck but I paid good money for it and I was determined to get my moneys worth out of it:D I started out at 250 rpm and worked up to 500 rpm. That's why I got the PowerPro. I also ordered and received the very last Bowl Turning tool set that Shopsmith had in stock. The Universal Tool rest is worth the money if you need to turn a deep bowl, it lets you position the tool rest deep into your work.bcone1381 wrote:I haven't turned anything since 1977,and it was a baseball bat.

Very nice result Fred.
Turning is IMHO the most addictive of the power wood working endeavors. Probably due to the speed of results. Once you get 1 good one done, you can't help yourself. You have a great turning setup with the PP and UTR.
Once you're concentric and balanced don't be afraid to increase the speed on the turning. You'll get better action from the tools and fewer catches. I would turn a bowl that size around 1,000 or so may be a bit faster. With Practice and experience you'll increase in confidence. Final sanding around 500 or so in reverse. One of these days I'll have a PP and be able to pull that off.
Very nice result on the first time out.
