I have been a woodturner for over twenty years And have had the privilege of meeting and watching many world famous turners. You are absolutely one of the best in both your turning skills and how you present your wood turning videos. Thank you for sharing your skills with the rest of us.
Tomislav, I watch a lot of wood turning videos and your channel is the best I’ve found. I just got out of hospital and can’t go in shop so I’m binging!!! Better than TV!!
I live in the united states,i worked with guys from over there.I worked with Tommy Mandic, Alix Reathey, charley Cumer,all from over in areas like Croatia,Bosneah,Check Republic. I WORKED WITH THESE GUY FOR 35 YEARS THEY WERE GREAT GUYS TO WORK WITH.
My biggest gripe on RUclips is the click bait titles. 99% of the time they're downright bullshit! So when I saw your title I had to click on it. A truer statement would be hard to find. It is this fact alone that drew me to turning as a primary wood working skill. I live in South Florida USA were tropical's grow in our yards. I don't buy wood. There's always tree trimmings waiting to be picked up. Watching you bring that off-cut to life brought a smile to my face! It is a beautiful form . Oh, before I forget... Thank you for sparing me the pain of epoxy pours and polyurethane finishes! In my mind they only impart a plastic look and feel to the otherwise natural beauty of wood. Wakodahatchee Chris
Thank you Chris for watching and support what I do ☺️ Indeed I'm not at all fan of epoxy or anything like that, just don't find a need or better said point as wooden bowl is natural and then adding layers of plastic just make no sense to me.... Thank you for watching
Sorry man, I thought I was subscribed. I’am now! Your work is very elegant and superior to your contemporaries. Looking forward to more great videos! Thanks
I have a number of red oak pieces like you started with, thank you for the inspiration. I appreciate seeing the close up of how you burnish your scraper.
Lovely Plate Tomi, amazing how what would normally be considered trash can turn out so beautiful. Thanks for sharing the tip of putting a burr on the scraper, I usually just use a hone like you used to clean the tool burr off, will have to try your screwdriver trick and see the difference.
Thank you ☺️, to me there is big differents, here is video a little more in depth on screwdriver tehnique and what to lookout when doing so ruclips.net/video/wRLa8ChtmKU/видео.htmlsi=Q3IZV-1NmBZEU1-4
Lovely little platter/bowl. I’ve been cutting up some of the wood I’ve accumulated around the shop into turning blanks. Many of them will be dishes similar to this. Love what you’ve done with this one.
Wow, I never would have thought that a "scrap" that size would yield that kind of plate. That turned out very nicely, the plate looks awesome. This is why so many of us hesitate to throw any pieces of wood away. Would be really interested in your assessment of the inner design as you use that plate; I'm still processing that in my mind 😀. Regarding finish: my brother-in-law's wife has given me something called "spoon butter", it is a mixture of avocado oil mixed with melted beeswax. A few applications of this to a wooden object really seems to stand up to a number of washings and re-application every once in a while (like on the order of a year or so) seems to keep water beading off the utensil when washing. Not sure what would happen if one were to vigorously scrub an item treated with this, but in normal use, it seems pretty robust.
Thank you very much, I do admit the inside is busy but I like that.... I haven't used it yet but soon😉 That finish sounds great, try it and use the plate every day for one meal and washing.... In my expirience,most of the finishes scrub of , even hardwax oils unless you use multiple coats, but that can bring the price up as hardwax oils are expensive.... But even those with scrub and soup don't last long....I use everyday my wooden dishes and they don't have any finish on it....looks awsome with stains and discoloration.... And with washing they get smother and smother.... Test it , but it doesn't sound like good product
Good use of off cuts tommi, I also like to use these sorts of off cuts, however I often make them squareish , leaving the natural shape of tree or lumber. How many times do you apply Tung oil finish and how long do you leave between coats. Tung oil is a hardening oil and after a few months should retain its harder surface even after use, plus it will never go rancid once hardened similar to walnut and pure linseed oil. All 3 oils are also completely natural plant based and food safe oils.sorry You probably know all this already.
Thank you for comment and support.... I'm still playing around with scotch bride pad, but Insted of using higher grits I sand let say to 340 and then 400 grit SBP and the surface is less scratchy and a bit shinier, not by much but enough for me.... Similar effect is done with hand full of shavings....
Weird, but I have definitely subscribed to your channel, but now RUclips had dropped me from your channel???? I keep the notifications off, but everytime you publish a video it shows first in my feed. And it has continued to show there. Odd. I am premium subscriber. What is going on 😮 Anyhow, great video as always. Where in Croatia? I have been to Split and it was the best vacation in ten years. It was during the Lucifer heat wave, that was pretty bad but we managed 😅
Sometimes RUclips works in misterious ways, thank you very much for watching my videos and support my work.... I'm far away Split, I'm in Zagreb 🤗 Glad you like your holidays here, Croatia is small but pretty☺️
Another nice piece! Just curious. With those shot glasses - do you finish them or just sand? Coincidentally, I'm working on a decorative set of "bar ware" like a Martini glass, brandy snifter, highball, whiskey, shot, etc., all placed on a purple heart platter I turned a while back. I thought about making a real shot 'glass' for myself, but couldn't decide what to do about a finish for it. Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching😀 I finish them as well with linseed oil and wax mix....there is a year old video on these but I'll do new one as well 😀 I don't put on like epoxy or anything like that as I find nice natural finish to be plenty enough and with time it gets nice patina, especially if in constant use😉
I was wondering about the finish. I thought you said you are applying a Tung oil. Is it thinned down with mineral spirits? Also, I noticed you rub on what I assume is beeswax immediately. I wasn't aware that would work. Shouldn't the Tung oil dry first? Oh, and I am your newest subscriber! Nice work.

Thank you really for those kind words,really means a lot to me
Great tip to double burnish from opposing sides, thanks!
Tomislav, I watch a lot of wood turning videos and your channel is the best I’ve found.
I just got out of hospital and can’t go in shop so I’m binging!!! Better than TV!!
Sorry to hear about health issues,I hope that is under control.... Glad to hear that my videos are helpfull 😉
Love it. You make it look so easy.
Thank you,its just practice ☺️
I can't believe I wasn't subscribed. I watch so many of your videos. Thanks for the reminder.
Thank You very much 🤗
🕶very nice Tomislav.

Awsome, thanks 😀
I stopped watching a video just so that I could watch you! Keep up the great work.
Aaaa thank you for that...I really appriciate that ☺️
Very nice I like the detail on the bottom. Being old I did not know about the bell, that saves me a lot of time in finding your channel. Thanks
Thank you Sir 😀
Don’t know why anyone wouldn’t subscribe, I enjoy your turning and teaching of your techniques
Thank you sir, appriciate that ☺️
This project is one that I need to try very soon. I really like the design, and the satin finish is perfect! Thanks for the inspiration.
Glad you liked it and Thank you very much for watching

Good Job👍
Nice job Tom!!!
Thank you sir
Love watching you work!
Thank you 😀
I loved the scraper sharpening lesson. I have a burnisher but is large and clumsy to use. My screwdriver has a new job 😊
Thank you, just make sure its older ones as these are more tougher then new cheap ones
A beautiful plate out of an otherwise unusable piece of wood. Very nicely done. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Johnny for watching
i really appreciate your showing the thought pro ess and details of the beads. thanks for your video!!
Thank you sir,glad I could help out ☺️
Beautiful turning Tomislav.

I so look forward to your videos! A beautiful piece of timber and a joy and inspiration to watch you work, Tomislav.
Thank you for nice words, glad to hear that sir 😀
Lovely bowl! The shot glass would be perfect for Slivovitz!
Yep, they are for brandy or moonshine or šljivovica😉
Very nice plate. Trash to treasure.
Indeed😉
That is a very nice job. Great explaining your cuts and techniques. Great video!!
Thank you very much
That is a beautiful plate, lovely grain and shape. But I have to say that nothing beats a waxy sock for putting on finish. Thanks for another video.
😂you are right about the sock, need to check if I have few old ones😉.... thank you Joris
Very nice sir
Thank you Sir for watching 😀
Mate, you are really clever

That's pretty.
Thank you
very nice, If I knew where ,I could send you some old socks for finishing rags
😂😂 I'll have to go through my draws 😉

Thank you Greg, I usually apply 1 or 2 coats with day of drying in between.
What do you accomplished with a Scotch Brite that you can't accomplish with finer grits of sandpaper? Ive learned much from you...many thanks
Thank you for comment and support.... I'm still playing around with scotch bride pad, but Insted of using higher grits I sand let say to 340 and then 400 grit SBP and the surface is less scratchy and a bit shinier, not by much but enough for me....
Similar effect is done with hand full of shavings....
I find that the SBP as a final grade seems to take the dust off the surface, which is useful before finishing.

I hope that’s an oily sock, you’re using 😊
Unfourtually its not, need to see if I have any cotton ones or atleast nice color 😂
Is it tongue oil?
Tung oil blend.
Its tung oil blend with cytrus solvent.....😀
Thank you for answer👍
