On the contrary, these are popular all year around.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I've been practicing now for around 20 years, so it's good to feel I'm finally getting the hang of it. My aspiration is to eliminate the need for sandpaper entirely, but I'm not quite consistent enough yet to do that for all of my tableware.

Do you also make tableware?

The challenge is finding places to put the camera that don't get on my way when I'm working. There were 2-3 times in this video where I had to take a different cut to what I would have preferred, to avoid hitting the tripod with my tool or my body.

@@woodworkscoracles6540 I have turned some bowls myself, and for some of your cuts I was thinking "He must be leaning way off balance to let the camera see this!" Which just amplified what I think of your skill - - it takes a great touch to still get long continuous cuts while standing off balance! My hat is off.

​​@@JimDillonI appreciate your concern but I didn't have to make much of an allowance for the camera with my turning technique. None of the shaping cuts would have been done dramatically differently had the camera been turned off. It was mainly whilst I was turning the mortice that my tripod got in the way. However it seems that my technique is quite different to many turners, which may be why you felt I was contorting myself for the camera.

I'm afraid I don't really have any details. I do use a Tormek but I haven't particularly followed the instructions.

Thank you. I don't use a scraper very often, but my objective is always the shape and a good finish, so I don't really mind which tools I use to get there. However it is certainly better for the turning time if I can get everything I need from my bowl gouge.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, amongst other places. These were snapped up quickly by people in my village.

I must come and visit the Oxford Recycling centre at some point! It's not that far away from where I am.

@@mandeepriat4692 if you like wood, it is definitely worth a visit!

Thank you. I've been turning for over 20 years so it feels pretty easy now. A lot of the speed comes from muscle memory.

Thank you 🙏 The shavings are used for a centuries old finishing process called 'burnishing' and they do indeed give a shine to the wood, even with no finish on it. They also help remove excess finish from the product.

I don't generally do so much turning during the summer, I am just getting back into it.

@woodworkscoracles6540 I would like to see you make a Big Christmas tree 🎄 and a Big Snowman ⛄️

When you see the smoke coming off of the wood, and the black line appears in the place where the pencil mark was made, that is what the wire is doing. It heats up from friction against the wood, and burns an indelible ring into the timber.

Thank you

thank you 😊

Thank you

These are finished with friction polish.

Thank you 🙏

Hi, thanks for your feedback :) My hefty roughing gouge is a Robert Sorby 1 1/4", the deep flute means I can often use the sides as an impromptu skew. On these pieces I usually use Chestnut friction polish, but having recently been given some Odie's oil to try out I am also using this occasionally. The grapeseed oil isn't intended to be a long-lasting finish, do I use something a bit more durable on the pulls. Happy turning!

Same

yes, I find it deeply depressing how many people insist on making this unflattering comparison, especiallc since if you DID use one for that purpose you'd most likely need a trip to the hospital to take it out again. If you'd ever seen a real plug it would quickly become plain that sharp corners are NOT compatible and would at least cause a great deal of discomfort, if not serious injury! On the other hand, maybe it would be better if more people did use unsuitable shapes like these and I'm sure the news would soon get out that it was a shortcut to exterme misery?

your eyes don't decieve you, we didn't do that in the video, and I probably don't do it most of the time. Certainly I don't rinse off my pots and pans, mugs, cutlery and tupperware. TBH the focus of the video was more to encourage people to be confident giving them a scrub and highlight that regular oiling isn't necessary.

I haven't switched to it, I've been using this finish for most of my trees over the past 10 years.

My mistake. I assumed you finished them like your bowls. I’m always impressed by your economy of motion and process.

@@patrickgibbons9179 Thank you. I was using grapeseed oil for a short time on the trees last year, when I had an injury to my left thumb and didn't feel comfortable putting on the friction polish one handed. But I do think they look better with a shiny finish.

Using a chuck really makes a difference to the ease and speed of turning.

Hi Givi, if you have a chance to watch the video you will see that I spend approximately 6 minutes each on the woodturning stage of these two bowls. Before coming to the lathe I did make the blank as well, which takes around 3 minutes. After turning I also sign my name on the base, but this takes less than 30 seconds.

@@woodworkscoracles6540 Beautiful work! Thank you for the answer, good luck to you! :)

Hi Givi, if you have a chance to watch the video you will see that I spend approximately 12 minutes on the woodturning stage of this bowl. Before coming to the lathe I did make the blank as well, which takes around 3 minutes. After turning I also sign my name on the base, but this takes less than 30 seconds.

Thanks Josh :) The initial recess is produced using a 2 1/8" forstner bit in a pillar drill, making a hole of a similar size to my fully closed chuck jaws. You can find details of my whole process in this video ruclips.net/video/_wXgx6DSRNM/видео.html By drilling a hole it means I can prepare multiple blanks in advance, which of course speeds up the production process.

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Yes, it's a beautiful timber and I am not lookig forward to the day it becomes scarce due to ash dieback.

Thank you

You will need a woodturning lathe with a capacity large enough for that diameter you wish to turn. The heavier the machine the better to absorb vibration, or have it on a leg stabd that is bolted to the floor. With thousands of brands in the world I can't recommend a particular machine, but the more you spend the better it will be. I prefer having variable speed and a rotating headstock, although this machine (which I had about 8 years ago) did the job perfectly well.

Thank you
