At my wife’s request, I turned this magnetic pin bowl. It looks simple but figuring out how to embed a magnet and still have enough magnetic force was a brain teaser.
The bowl is walnut finished with friction polish. It uses a segmented approach with four rings of twelve segments each plus two pieces of three ply home made walnut plywood. This amounts to 54 pieces of wood.
The magnet is a generic HF 25 pound 2 inch magnet.
Good turning.
Alan,
Thanks for another creative project and clear,mi structure video. I look forward to each Saturday morning to see what you’ll do next.

That was supposed to say “instructive.” Sorry!
So what magnet did you use and where did you get it? Thkx!
The magnet is a generic 25 pound 2 inch magnet purchased at Harbor Freight.
Keep Wood Turning.

Happy wife, happy life! Good job Alan
Absolutely true.
