You really showed you knowledge and wisdom in turning here. Most of us would have tried to finish that cut when you started on the inside thinking it was just unbalanced. Masterfully done. Great video Richard
Beautiful work Richard. As always. It's alright to mutter to yourself, sometimes you need expert advice.. Thanks for your videos. I learn much from you and your work.
Hi Richard Nice bowl would make a nice small lampshade with light showing the grain off.. Your comment about “time running out” I’m a 1942 model and truly believe we all have our “use by date”stamped in the middle of our backs where we fortunately can’t see it,and if we could see it would we really want to see it. Enjoy your entertaining and informative videos I’ve been turning bowls etc since the 80s but watching your methods I now shape the bowl with the spindle gouge which is much smoother than the bowl gouge. Thank you for using our “running out of time “ to share your wealth of knowledge Regards from NZ
Richard. Enjoy your videos learn a lot. Also like your book turning wood. Only been bowl Turing a couple of years but thanks to you I am getting better. According to your bio we do have something in common,we were both born in 1943.😂 thanks
Always wonderful to watch a master in action. A lot of unspoken subtleties that comes only with practice. I was wondering what speed you ran the lathe at for the inside of the bowl. Thanks for the simple and clear demonstration.
Nice turning skilfully executed lovely result But what I can't understand and so many do it It why you opt for a "tenon" rather than a mortice, as when you remove it (unless it's intentional}? you lose 10-12mm of depth!?
There are many good reasons not to use a mortice, not least of which is that it compromises the depth to which you can hollow and therefore the weight and balance of a bowl. As a result most bowls many bowls are far clunkier than they need be. A mortice grip is narrower than on a foot or tenon so never as secure, especially if there isn't much wood surrounding the tenon. I never lose 10-12mm as you suppose and always wonder why people work that way when it takes seconds to remove chuck marks on a foot or tenon if you finish a job between centres. The tenon on this bowl, or rather the bead, was the right size for the chuck so I could take the finished bowl straight out of the chuck. Had I wanted to remove the bead or change the shape of the foot it was a simple task as you see in ruclips.net/video/4FONJZLc91k/видео.html. This was the way we professional bowl turners finished bowls pre-modern chucks. Today turning a foot or detail the right size for a chuck widens your horizons no end ruclips.net/video/DV2T6oJgCi4/видео.html.
Excellent bowl and workmanship, when the bowl was slowing down when you turned your lathe off I almost saw a pentagram. I’m thinking of buying a 1/2” spindle gouge and was wondering your thoughts on the double enders, since I have a one way handle already
The tree was growing only a day or two earlier, so the 'steam' is misty spray. In my experience this is typical elm. You see the blank cut in ruclips.net/video/4Qj0tKIRGGE/видео.html
You mumble better than most talk! Another Raffan classic turning. Thank you for your generosity.

Another great master class in turning. I didn't hear a single mumble. Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful piece -- that elm is really nice looking. There is something about seeing light shine through a wood bowl that is just totally fascinating.

Like your work Richard,that is some of the nicest looking elm I have ever seen.
I always learn watching your videos. Thank you for doing them.
Absolutely gorgeous piece. The grain is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are helping me stumble into this art, I've made more cat litter than bowls so far but loving the experience.
Thank you for sharing!
Lovely piece.
Another lovely little bowl turned with economy of movement. Thank you for sharing your expertise 🌞
You make it look so easy! Well done sir.
Beautiful little bowl Richard.
The usual excelent and compulsory viwing from RR..
WOW! Excellent turning skills.
Beautiful bowl, really like the shape 😊
Beautiful wood and turning from the master!😎

The bio is correct... time is running out.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning it's not about how much time you have,it's how you use the time you have. Looks like you are doing just fine
Beautiful work!
Bonjour Richard. c'est un travail tout en finesse qui demande du savoir faire avec beaucoup d'application.Superbe.👍
Excellent bowl, you are lucky to have access to what I would consider exotic woods.
Elm isn't a native to Australia, but around here they grow well as exotics in gardens and street trees.
Beautiful
Always wonderful to watch a master in action. A lot of unspoken subtleties that comes only with practice. I was wondering what speed you ran the lathe at for the inside of the bowl. Thanks for the simple and clear demonstration.
This a 120mm diameter bowl, so the speed was probably around 1500-1700rpm.

If you were going to put this piece in the microwave, would you still do 30 sec intervals? Does species of wood make a difference with microwaving?

Nothing wrong with the double enders if you have the handle.
OK, at 1:52, I seem to see STEAM comimg off the cut ! Is that because of the speed, or what? Where do you find such beautifuly grained woods? Thanks!
