New video: Rolly polly bowl

[Bob Hamilton]

Hi:
I have finally gotten around to editing some video and uploading it to Youtube. This one is a 4 part series about turning a small round bottomed winged bowl from hard maple. The playlist for the series is at:

The bowl turned out looking like this:

Great series, Bob!! I didn't have to time this morning to watch all of it straight thru, but I did see a little of all segments - well done, and very informative!! Thanks.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well done and thanks for sharing Bob.

[Jay Jagerson]

For a person who is just getting starting in this what a great idea to show off what can be done.

Great job, I really appreciated it.

I love that part of not wanting to clean of the table saw to make it square.

Thanks again,

Jay

is included in this near professional quality video. Your critique of your work as you go along, your choice of tools, tool presentation, alternative processes. Very nice contribution. I especially like your depth gauge, and your method for keeping shavings off your socks.

Very nice bowl Bob, and I always enjoy your videos. Would you mind sharing some techincal info about your videos, like the type of camera, type of microphone, editing software, etc.?

Thanks, all!

Dale, the first two or three videos I made were shot with my digital still camera (Kodak DX 7590) in video mode. I then bought a JVC hard disk drive camcorder and constructed the mounting system that I show in my "Behind the Scenes" video segment. I just use the microphone that is built into the camera. The box that houses the camera is just a front frame with attached glass door, a bottom and two sides. The top and back are open with plastic and brown paper stapled over them to keep the dust out but let sound in.

I use Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 for my editing. I had been saving the edited segments as .flv video files directly from the editor but I was having some computer problems earlier this year so in the spring I put together a new computer. For some reason that I cannot explain when I save my edited files as .flv video on the new computer the sound gets all screwed up. On this one I saved the files as .mp4 files and uploaded those. The resultant video does not seem to me to be a clear as the ones I did earlier so I will have to try something else. Suggestions would be welcome since I really don't have a clue about video editing.

Take care
Bob

Bob,

Let me add my thanks for the hard work and passion you put into all of these videos. I am one of your subscribers (and a new Creeker), and have watched them over and over.

I have really learned alot from them and been inspired to step out of my comfort zones.

Thanks
