Richard Raffan on very useful tailcentre disks.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2024
- When completing a bowl or other project between centres, a tailcentre disk prevents the tailcentre penetrating and marking your project as you complete it.
I have been making and using those for years. I also make them from large thick rubber erasers bought from the Dollar Store or the sandpaper erasers. For the erasers I don’t drill a hole or turn them round, I cut variously sized squares as required and indicate center with a permanent marker on the tailstock stock side.
Lovely to see that i have used something in my first few months of turning that the great Richard Raffan teaches! I'm chuffed sir! Thanks for all your inspiration there is noone who. I watch more regularly.
Thank you for the simple yet extremely helpful tips and tricks on turning. This is another fine example of you so perfectly and completely showing us how it should be done. Thank you!
thanks to you Richard I now have a great collection of cones and disks for jamming items on my lathe. And getting much braver on going thin after watching the collaboration of 4 way projects, as always thank you. I turn beads using a similar setup to that but with a wood MT2 mandrel at the headstock end.
An MT2 mandrel...is that what is used for like pen turnings?
@@jensandersen8270 these are wood turned with fine point to hold beads but the taper is the same as a pen version or Jacob’s chuck etc
What a simple and useful jig/tool! Also a good lesson on learning to use a light touch and optimize the tool angle for the least load on the work.
Bonjour Richard Une nouvelle astuce qui me permettra d'éviter des désagréments .Un grand merci pour le partage .J'aime👍
When I first saw you using those, I made a few, along with some live center screw washers. I like your method better!!
Thanks, Richard. Up to now I have used my tail centre which takes change parts and just inserted a sacrificial birch dowel. Perhaps not so stable, but for spindle work allows plenty of tool room. Bernard.
Thanks Richard, for this Lifehak!
Thanks Richard made some today worked a treat
Great idea. Thank you for sharing 🌞
Very useful accessory. Quick and cheap to make. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thanks Richard
Thanks for the great tip Richard.
Horses for courses. I simply clamp a square blank in my chuck, round it, make a dimple or hole, and part an appropriate size off. Kind regards. I love your videos.
That's what happens to most of my jam chucks when they become too short.
Thanks Richard! Wish I had known that trick for my last project!
Awesome, thanks for sharing,
Yet i already made some fom some end bits of spindle work where i cut the tailstock end of kept thr thin cut off bit which already had the cone hole and bang I've got someone very similar to thid video.
I have several sizes, yet as a beginner I'M SOOOOO STOKED THAT I ALREADY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY MADE AND USED THEM SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY.
something i picked up on one day by chance, so to then see this video with what i already was using surprised me, in a good way, 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Knowing my knowledge and learning is heading in a good direction, thanks to watching alot of Richard Raffan, my mentor massive help, and loads of watching videos is paying off.
Apologise for the long, brag, yet its not often I come up with an idea 💡 by myself and then find videos on what I already am doing, im soooo shocked 😯😯😯😲😲😲😲😮😮😮
THANK YOU 🌷 🌺 😊 for sharing and have a safe and fantastic upcoming weekend,
Cheers 🍻 Matt
I think most of us come up with at least one original idea only to find it's been around for some time. But it's very satisfying to discover something for yourself - something I had to do rather too much of when I started. Now I hope to save others time.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning yes it is very satisfying, especially with my crappy health, to achieve something for me is awesome, yet I know others are either early beginners or too turners and thus I try to pass on as much as I can, knowing that what I have learnt, seen and even stumbled on has been passed to me by various methods, so I then forward it on, as passing it forward wether turning, gardening etc it's what makes groups awesome, helping out anyway I can.
Yet I reckon what most of us have learnt comes from the past wether 10 years ago or 3000 years ago, and if it wasn't for people like yourself there wouldn't be as many people turning at all levels, there would be some yet not the 1000s & 1000s around the world.
So Richard Raffan thank you for your years of learning that is helping me and many many others from your mistakes and successes, for us now to learn at a quicker pace & with better and diverse range of lathes & tools,
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH Richard 👋👋👋👋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Cool
Another great tip thanks Richard. I do have a question a bit off topic about a single sided skew possibly called a skew end chisel. I have one by Stormont which came with some vintage Sorby tools I bought sometime ago. Anyway gave it trial tun and was surprised how easy it was to control possibly due to the longer bevel 30 degrees from the point and 30 on the bevel. Was curious to know if you’ve had any experience with this type of tool and if there was ever a left and right?
Apologies again and for such a long message.
That would be rather like a bedan which French turners use instead of a skew chisel. I've used a 2" slick for spindle planing cuts, but overall prefer skew chisels with two bevels.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thanks Richard
Richard: Please answer this question. When making boxes, sometimes the lid will rise just a bit off of the base on its own. The lid seems well fitted; not too tight, not too loose. But it's like the lid is pushing down on the column of air inside of the base and is compressing it, and the compressed air has no place to go (get out of the inside of the base), and so it pushes back, raising the lid. Does this make sense, and what's to be done? Thank you very much. Ned PS: everything I learned about box making I learned from your book and companion CD on box making. Thanks so much for your contribution to wood turning!
Often i find that if the lid is put on with a slight twisting motion it sits down nicely.
As the wood settles and changes in the relative humidity of where it's kept, that piston fit will change and it'll fit differently.
I find a lid popping off is usually down to the flanges not being quite the shape I might think. Often a light sanding of the rim solves the problem. At one stage I used to make a very fine groove following the grain to let the air out, but now find the best solution is to dovetail the lid flange very slightly. Then the lid fits tight over the centre of the base flange but can spin when fully on the base, but I still feel the suction as the lid comes off.
@@bushratbeachbum Thank you very much for your reply. I also find that the lid might fit just fine in the shop as it
comes off the lathe, only later to change shape as it adjusts to the changing humidity inside of the house. This is annoying for the turner and the customer. I generally leave lids a little tight when I make the box, and later, in a few days, inside the house, I hand sand the flange as needed for a final fit. But the truth is, it’s really hard to get a perfect fit right off the lathe and still have a perfect fit in the weeks and months and years down the road. Unless, of course, you’re Richard Raffan, a man of incredible talent, whom we all so admire.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thank you so much, Richard, for your thoughtful reply. I find creating a well fitted lid one of the most challenging aspects of wood turning. And also very pleasing when done, rarely, right. I’m not a fan of the spinning lid on a dovetail flange, as it just doesn’t feel right when the lid is on the base. If it spins, it feels loose. I continue to use the convex base flange that you taught in your earlier book and companion CD on making boxes. They’re excellent. Thanks so much for your contribution to our craft! Ned.
I like the idea of making these ahead. I would love to hear your maintenance schedule on your lathe, chucks, bandsaw and other tools and equipment. Do you have any videos you've done on tool maintenance?
The only maintenance my lathe and chucks need is dusting off and the wiping down after turning green timber. There's not much to go wrong with a decent lathe or chuck unless they are abused.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Do you use anything to protect the bed, wax?
@@kenvasko2285 Very occasionally I'll wipe the bed with WD40 or silicone and spray the cam in the rest banjo. I don't use anythiing that's likely to drip or build up on the lathe bed other than sap from green timber.
Very useful, and good practice indeed. It looked as if the point of the centre was damaged, or was that just glue? And if it is damage, hpw do you fix it? Thanks for another educational and amusing video!
I put a damged centre in a chuck and file it with the lathe running about 500rpm
I have a set of plug cutters that may have a new use now 😊
You still need a hole dead centre pushing against a concave surface, so get your plugs in a chuck to drill a hole. It doesn't need to go right through.
Appreciate seeing the details on this. I'm assuming you use MDF to minimize the chance of the tail cone splitting the piece?
Correct, especially on the small diameters. I've a few ash disks over 30mm diameter.
Do you use MDF for its stability? Could a solid wood be used?
MDF is less likely to split than timber, especially with diameters less than 15mm. Many of my wooden jam chucks end up as disks for the same purpose,
Do you ever worry about the two cones touching and damaging each other?
The cones won't meet because I drilled a small hole. The hole can be very small.
Huge fan of yours for decades. You are a great teacher. So please forgive me this excessively casual comment: It would be OK to introduce yourself as "Hello, I'm Richard Raffan" rather than "Hello, I, uh, am Richard Raffan." :-)
Wow.
You really need to spend more time on your useful hobbies.
Rywoodview, why would you feel the need to make that comment? Be grateful for the videos and turning not Richards introduction, who do you think you are.
@@bushratbeachbum If only we all could.
@@RYwoodview very true.
Let's all make a special effort, huh?
