How to make a kuksa on the lathe - Woodturning

 


























Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Table saw

Flexcut starter carving set

Pyrography Pen Wood Burning Kit

Buffing kit


In this video I make a kuksa mug on the lathe. Usually this is made using hand carving knives. But I thought it would be a good challenge to make it on a lathe. It actually involved a few really interesting techniques. I made it out of basswood.


I begun by preparing my stock on the planer and table saw. 


With this this technique I will actually have two blanks after the first stage of woodturning. 


After preparing my two blanks I added a few guide lines. I also had to consider the pieces of wood that would had to be removed because of tool marks from the chuck and tailstock.


To glue the two pieces together I added a piece of paper in between. This would help me separate the pieces later on. 


At this point I started turning the outer shape of my kuksa. Once I was ready I split the two blanks in half with a chisel. 


The I took one blank and put it on a screw chuck to make a tenon on the other side. 


I then chucked it on the jaws and hollowed it out with a bowl gouge. 


To clean the bottom I used my bowl bottom cleaning jaws. 


Next I did some fine tunings on the shape with a carving knife. 


I carved a flower on it’s handle and used my wood burner to decorate it. 


Finally I buffed the mug with carnauba wax.


And my kuksa was ready. 


It was a really interesting project, but that was it. 


See you soon with a new project video.
