When Brad from Q Branch Woodwork spins a piece of wood into a masterpiece, it's not just a craft; it's an act of transformation. Today's conversation takes us through the whirl of woodturning, where danger and beauty dance together on the lathe, revealing how Brad's signature creations have become a heartbeat for the Fremont community. Discover the nuances of working with wood at high speeds, the well-oiled dance between maker and machine, and the anticipation of larger projects with Brad's upcoming lathe upgrade, a promise of grander artistry on the horizon.Navigating a path from idle pandemic hobbyist to a thriving online business, Brad's story is a testament to the power of passion and persistence. His journey, much like the art of podcasting, highlights the significance of presentation and the meticulous attention to detail—whether it's in shaping stunning wood bowls or crafting conversations that captivate your mind. Join us as we explore the shared dedication that goes into creating things of beauty and value, be it through the microphone or the hands of a skilled wood artisan.In this episode, we celebrate the intersection of handcrafted goods and the community that embraces them. We step into the challenges of standing out in a marketplace like Etsy, where quality and design become the lifeblood of a woodturner's craft. But it's not just about the products; it's about a dream to weave this art into the fabric of Fremont, to open a storefront in Niles that's more than a shop, and perhaps one day, transitioning from passion to full-time pursuit. Witness the journey, the craft, and the community in an episode that's all about the beauty of wood and the hands that shape it.If you want to seen more or learn more about Brad Bond and his amazing woodturning work, check out his website here. If you want to follow him on Instagram, you can find it here. Our if you would like to see some of his work on Youtube, you can find it here. Check out our new podcast focused on Niles CA called the Cast of Niles.

Today Mary is talking to Ambrose and Brid, master wood turners.We talk about the craft and the philosophy behind the creative arts. Ambrose began woodturning in 1993, he is interested in craft education His belief is that stated by W.B. Yeats “Education is not filling a pail, but lighting a fire”.His articles have been published by the former International Woodturning Centre in Philadelphia USA (now Centre for Wood Art).Ambrose believes that craft is the bridge between technology and art. He believes without a deep insight into the philosophy of the craft, any maker only possesses motor and dexterity skills. For craft to have real meaning and depth and relevance, it needs to have soul.All of these facets – making, teaching, writing and demonstrating reinforce each other and help to make me a better maker, a better teacher and, most of all, a better student. He describes himself as a true student of the woodturning field.Brid began woodturning in the year 2000. She makes functional items and one-off pieces of jewellery. She likes making small pieces as she is interested in exploring the shared qualities between woodturning and jewellery and use small pieces of wood with an interesting grain. As she works she enjoys revealing the unique beauty of each piece of wood. Often hidden on the back of the piece, is some little detail put there for the wearer's enjoyment only. Most of the pieces are made from native Irish woodsRecommended booksContact Ambrose or Brid at www.ambroseandbrid.comRecommended books:Unknown CraftsmanBernard LeechThe ElementKen RobinsonWhy we make things and why does it matterPeter KornContact Mary Bermingham at mary@burrennaturesanctuary.ie Check out Burren Nature Sanctuary at www.burrennaturesanctuary.ie Support the Nature Magic Podcast at https://www.patreon.com/naturemagic Show websitewww.naturemagic.ie

paul's loneliness almost costs him, josh reveals his affinity for wooden bowls.

On this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast, Carl sits down with North Wilkesboro-based woodworker Keegan Watson, founder of Handcrafted by Keegan. Keegan reflects on being exposed to “the construction side of woodworking” since he was just a kid, having grown up in a house “that was always being renovated.” It was in 2018 when he fell in love with woodturning after making his first cup using a friend's lathe. “Within a week, I found an old machine on Craigslist, went and bought it, and I was off to the races.” Keegan goes on to show Carl a set of nesting bowls he created and explains the process that goes into making these bowls known as “coring”. He also talks about how he is able to keep his craft sustainable by sticking to local hardwoods, some of his favorites being cherry burl, maple, walnut, poplar, and ash. In creating long-lasting, heirloom pieces, Keegan refers to his works “functional art”. He says that his goal is the “preservation of the tree and giving it another chance in this world, because once it goes up in smoke, it's gone.” In the latter half of the conversation, Keegan talks about fellow woodworkers he looks up to, what it is like to have collectors of his work, mentoring young aspiring woodworkers, and why he believes that he will continue to pursue his current path with passion into his old age.

Working as a builder/carpenter, woodturning was a craft I knew very little about before 2001. I had done some research and found a woodturner in my nearest town. Lucky for me, this woodturner was one of the finest turners in Ireland. Willie Stedmond, one of the founding members of the Irish Woodturners Guild, was giving night classes to which I attended a few. It is always my first advice to anyone interested in woodturning, get some lessons and join a club. I also did the latter and met some great people who helped and encouraged me along the way.My turning has progressed and moved through different areas of this wonderful craft as the years went on. I had many years and long periods of no woodturning time whatsoever due to work and other commitments, but the draw was always there. The need to make shavings! I am very proud of the recognition I have received from my peers and other artists over the years for my work, demonstrating and winning pieces. I am also very honoured to have my work in collections across the world. When Mark Baker, GMC Woodturning magazine approached me to write for him, I was completely taken aback. I straight away said no to Mark, but Mark persevered and said he would help me. So, with huge thanks to Mark I have many articles gone to print.As of late, with the dawning of virtual woodturning, I also have entered into the world of delivering IRDs, (Interactive Remote Demonstrations), in high definition. Working as a team, myself, my daughter Chloe and Helen Bailey, are able to offer an excellent well prepared service to clubs and individuals. We also run a meeting called “Meet the Woodturner”, where we interview artists from all over the world and get a fascinating insight into their woodturning lives and careers. Our audience is from all over the world and attendees get to ask the guests questions through a chat box on the virtual platform we use. These fantastic meetings have made the world a small place for the woodturning family to come together for evenings of great entertainment.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

With a Bachelor degree in Product Design, I noticed I enjoyed being part of the making process of objects. After carving my first spoon from wood, the deep fascination for the material has never left me. I enjoy working with hand tools, leaving traces of axes and knives, adding my own narrative to the story told by the wood.- Rabea Gebler / instagramSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

Roberto Ferrer was born and raised in Mexico, where he was surrounded by art and crafts from the early age.While drawing and painting were part of his everyday life, the love for wood as a medium was born in his childhood when he used to visit his cousin's wood shop. But it was the colonial and baroque style architecture in his hometown that sparked the desire to one day be able to create sculptural work.His natural curiosity of knowing how things are built and how mechanisms work led him to explore different jobs such as construction, auto mechanics, body shop among other things. In his mid twenties he started carving sculptural bowls and vessels using a limited number of handheld power tools. Although the results were somewhere satisfactory, it was hard on his body and time consuming as well.  And this is what eventually led him to pursue woodturning as a way of removing wood in a more efficient manner and to lay the base for the sculptural work he currently creates.In July 2019 he received the POP Excellence Award, and his work was featured in the AAW journal in August 2019 as well as the October issue of the same year.In 2020 Roberto was among the invited artists for the POP exhibition, where he presented a sculpture with his own interpretation of Quetzalcoatl.    In recent years he has been invited to demonstrate at local woodturning clubs, and to teach in wood working schools. Since 2018 he has participated in art shows throughout the Midwest as well as online juried exhibitions. He is humble to know that his work is now part of private collections across the USA and Europe.Roberto lives and works in the suburban Chicago where his studio is located. There he is able to combine both family and the passion for making and creating.Support the show

Artistry and making runs through my veins. Whether it be painting and sculpture, creating great food, or building a giant pizza oven in our backyard, I've always been fascinated by the process of making.  I previously worked as an art director and commercial photographer. It was fulfilling, but I was always aching for something else, something more physical. I often reflected on a furniture making class I had enjoyed in art school and decided to start building furniture in my garage. I enjoyed learning a new medium and craft. After a few years making furniture, I wanted to try making a chair which led to the purchase of my first lathe, a few chairs later, my wife asked me if I could make a bowl. I didn't know how, but I figured it would be another gratifying challenge. I set off for the woods and found a cut off stump, heaved it up and shoved it into the back of my jeep.  I brought it home, cut it up and mounted it to my lathe. This was the spark that set the dream in motion. I loved it from day one. The smell was incredible, and I was able to quickly make a shape I could see in my mind. After many years of searching, I had found my medium… green wood (wood that is unseasoned/still wet).  This craft instantly tied together many loves for me… The art of making something beautiful, the art of cooking and the art of presenting and serving wonderful food for my family and friends. There is something special about sharing home cooked food from wooden vessels.  The grain, the heft, the natural beauty all makes the experience warm and inviting.   I believe it's more important than ever to slow down, share a meal, and remember family, friends and food is something worth celebrating!  I believe in making unique pieces that are made to last. Made to be used and loved for generations. Made to share with family and friends. Made to make special moments in our lives a bit more special.  Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

As a lifelong artist, I'm always looking for the next opportunity to translate my vision and experiences into artistic expressions. My approach and use of different materials are constantly evolving as I hone my personal style. The use of imported and domestic burls, resin and recycled skateboards allows me to explore endless possibilities and create unique, one of a kind pieces. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

My Name is Greg Gallegos. I have been artistically inclined since I was very young. I was heavily into woodshop in high school. I first fell in love with the lathe there. It took me another ten years after high school to be able to purchase a lathe.After years of properly learning the craft and practicing the skills, I felt I was ready to start selling, I started with the local craft and art markets, which lead to several large national shows.These days, I have settled into a fairly normal routine of being spontaneously creative at times and then prodigiously productive at other times. Trying to find a happy medium…not likely to happen but…I love wood with a passion which keeps me wondering what the next piece of wood I cut into will show me. I try not to limit myself to a particular set of skills. I have turned just about everything there is to turn. I love them all. Hollow forms, natural edge bowls, whimsical pieces, and decorative carving as well. I gravitate towards working with green wood to completion. I really feel that it gives the wood its most simplistic forms and keeps the organic quality of the wood intact.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

Hi, I'm Owen. I'm a 19 year old keen-hobbyist/part-time woodturner living in rural West Wales, UK. My woodturning adventure began in 2013 on a pole lathe, where curiosity got me turning bits of firewood into shavings, not making anything particular, just enjoying the feeling. I was taught to focus on form, keeping it simple which is something I understand more with each piece, be it bowls, hollow forms, boxes or any piece I turn. The majority of the material I use is sourced and processed by me.   I strongly believe you learn just as much when selecting how to cut the raw material as you do actually turning, and it has given my style complete freedom on how it wants to develop over the years.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

For some reason my parents never controlled the way I sat. Sitting is a learned thing—that stiff right-angled-lower-case-h-shape we associate with chairs, the thing our teachers yelled at us to do in school—to sit, and to sit still. Instead, I sprawled out on the floor, squatted on my heels as I arranged Legos or poked mud with a stick, and climbed on the backs of sofas as I saw my cat do. At the dinner table doing homework, when my brother and I were too short for the dining room chairs, my parents did not chide us to sit still; They dismantled the chairs and added 2x4s underneath the seats, and arranged little step stools to tuck beneath our dangling feet. As I sit here and type, my legs cross-legged in my studio chair, my tools in easy reach in a perimeter all around me, I know the world is malleable. It's not always something we have to suffer through, and bend backward to the rules of. I've never gotten the feeling that the wide world was built for me. Personally as a woman, in just the field of seating alone, I have drowned in so many cavernous bus seats with curves in all the wrong places, and have never been able to tip back a tip-back high end office chair built for heavier, bigger men. In fact the one I am cross-legged in right now is supposed to be one of these. I cannot do it.I believe that good furniture creates good positive behavior, and this involves more than a relationship held at a distance. It's not just pictures we can see online, or what we read about, or what we are told.Furniture is a direct interface with the world. And how we choose to furnish our lives is an empowering, beautiful way that every person gets to paint their own values on the environment.Making furniture lets me spend time reevaluating the types of furniture we have in our homes, why they look and act the way they do, and what kinds of tools and skills I have to respond with. My work exalts freedom, familiarity, and unrestricted comfort in the environment.I hold a MFA in furniture design from RISD, and a Bachelor of Architecture from Cooper Union. I am currently living and working as a woodworker in Philadelphia.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)

I'm John Jordan and I've been a woodturner for more than thirty years. I have done demonstrations for, or given hands-on lessons to, thousands of woodturners in most states in the US, as well as ten other countries. The turned and carved vessels I make are featured in numerous private and corporate collections, as well as the  ​Public Collections of more than thirty museums. This includes seven pieces in the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, and the recent acquisition of two pieces by the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London. If you have interest in the work that I make, please visit the gallery section.The tools that I use to produce this work are available here. These are the same tools I have used for over 35 years, and are made here in TN by me. The hollow turning tools are simple, easy to use tools that work for the novice turner, as well as the experienced turner. They are the best hollow turning tools you can get. If you are not happy with them, or any of my tools, I will gladly refund your money. Beware of tools made by companies or people that have little or no real experience producing work. My proven tools have produced thousands of successful pieces, not only by me, but also by many satisfied users. I sell only tools that I use!In addition to the hollowing tools, we also have some of the nicest handles around, the unique double-ended shear scraper, Thompson gouges, a sharpening jig and more. I'm very proud of my most recent video, “The Aesthetics and Properties of Wood”, which is one of the most important, but often misunderstood, aspects of woodturning. I will also try to keep some technical and artistic pages coming, and there is a calendar of demos and classes, so check back from time to time.If you need anything, please let me or my wife, Vicki, know. We appreciate your interest and are always glad to help.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WoodturnersWorldwide)
