Richard Raffan turns a storage tray

- This deep tray was made to contain sewing bits and pieces such as small scissors, reels of cotton, and such. Several times turning the outside I blocked the camera, so I've cut those bits, but you see everything important, including how to turn the inside flat.
For in-depth explanations of the tools and techniques you need to refer to my books and videos. www.richardraffan.com.au/book...
I could literally watch you turn all day. It’s so nice to see actual professional turners at work.
Thanks Richard you really explain everything so well as always and I really appreciate how you are so decisive in your decision making and able to convey this to people watching .It’s a real talent to be able to teach and explain in this way and I always look forward to what you are going to do next so I can go into the workshop and try it myself.Thanks for continuing to inspire me on my turning journey.
Very nice, Richard. The interesting thing is that this is what most of our first pieces looked like when we were trying to create a bowl :)
How true! Often from a 6-in x 2-in blank using less than ideal tools and chucks.
Very practical project. This goes on the list of projects for my wife who is an avid quilter
I watch your presentations several times over a period of time as I find many points of interest not possible to absorb in a single session. I watch once then try your techniques, which if I get wrong, then I watch again to see where I went wrong, often it is quite subtle. Thank you for sharing your great expertise for us newcomers to the art of wood turning. Greetings from Tasmania Australia. 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
I"m glad to be of some help. In 1970 I learnt the basics by watching and listening, much like yourself by the sound if it. For more on the finer points you might find my books helpful which are often in public and wood group libraries. www.richardraffan.com.au/books-and-dvds/
Nice project Richard... one for the Christmas list ideas.
Take care
Cheers
Harold
Great project idea, the seamstress in the house will love it.
That looks like a large version of the nested trays for toddlers, that would make for a good video as well.
Another project I’d love to see you do on video is the Scottish quaich bowl.
She did and I'll think about the quaich. I've not made any since 2013 which you'd have seen in All New Turning Projects.
Thanks for the video. I really like the little jaws on your Chuck.😳 cheers, Tom
Great video! You always explain your tools and techniques. Thank you!
Beautiful Richard.
Thanks so much for sharing your skills. I look forward to your lessons.
Love it! You’re the man, Richard!
Great video again 👍
I used to make those on my router table,much more exciting !!
Richard all your videos are awesome. I have several of your dvds too. Could you possibly spend a video on when and how to collect wood, specifically when best to turn green vs semi dry. Its still somewhat a mystery to me especially when its ok to finish a bowl completely the time to dry etc etc
In my book Turning Bowls you'll find more about collecting, converting, and handling wood for bowls than I can now get into a single video, but I'll try to address those topics in future bowl videos.
After more than a few years of turning I am finally aware of the beauty of the square edge scraper. Now that I understand how to hold it I wonder how I got along without it. I’ll be making one of those little multi edge pieces too. Now if I can just make sanding as simple as you have. Regards and thank you.
A slightly radiused edge is essential when turning a flat surface.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Yes. I saw that and did it when I got my scraper. Just finished a 13” platter using your method.
Nice sar
You are so talented!!! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! You mentioned at the beginning you weren’t sure what the wood was. Did you ever find out? To me, it has all the grain patterns of American White Oak. I just finished a small bowl of oak today, after green turning it a year ago. Finished with walnut oil and beeswax. I'm still a novice turner so it definitely isn’t as nice as that one.
This oak was imported from America so American white oak is a reasonable assumption. It's all that remained of a board I turned into trophy bases.

I have never made a steep sided tray so will need to give it a go. What advantages do you see of the inertia sander over a power sander? And did you stop at 120 grit? What is the highest grit you would routinely go on a tray or bowl? Thanks for the video.
I enjoy your channel too, Mr Peace.
So many good turners to learn from!
The inertia sander doesn't leave any swirl marks where as power sanding does. I usually stop sanding at 240 or 320 grit on bowls, 400 and Scotchbrite on boxes. And we look forward to your video on a steep sided tray.
Great video. And always amazing talent. These videos really help me study your technique so much more than images and text ever could.
Do you mind commenting on your thickness calipers. I can’t seem to find any pair that suit my needs as well as yours seem to. Manufacture and model?
The calipers are Lea Valley the Canadian tool company. I'd expect most specialist woodturning suppliers to carry them.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning this is very good information for me
Having my evening coffee with a biscuit watching you turn, very relaxing, that is one big chuck. How big is it? Have not see one like that. Thanks for the learning. Harold Mills
It's a Vicmarc VM120 chuck with old multi-Purpose Jaws with the inside jaw sets removed so it's like a standard dovetail chuck. The jaws expand inside 168mm to 213mm, and grip 148mm without marking the wood.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Would it be possible to use the VM100 as well? Thank you very much.
@@milasiroky3301 A few years ago when I had four VL100s for teaching I often had VM120 chucks on the VL100s, although the VM100s are preferable being lighter in weight and holding just as well.
i made one last week
Great video as well as technique.
Yet, after going through some of the responses to make sure my question isn't being redundant, I'm still at a loss to understand how you reverse chucked the piece after creating the concave on the underside.
Could you help me with this, as I somehow missed the visual of how it was done in this video.
Thanks in advance.
This tray was held using the dovetail jaws you see at the very end of the video when I take it off the chuck . The jaws expand inside the 2.5mm recess turned at about 4:03 to 4:50. Unfortunately my head got in the way, but you get glimpses of the groove developing bottom right of the screen. You get a really good view in the flatter tray video ruclips.net/video/tCnQIn-iT2Q/видео.html
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Ahh...'got it!
Yes, I did notice the jaws at the end, but thanks all the same for the reply Richard.
Is it possible to use the VM120 jaws on the VM100 chuck? Thank you.
What do you call those big rim Jaws?
Vicmarc dovetail jaws. They come in several sizes. I can't recall what I used here.
I keep hearing not se spindle tools when making a bowl. Can you clarify please?
It's deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges that are not recommended for facework. Deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges are designed specifically for roughing centrework blanks with grain lying parallel to the lathe axis. Deep-fluted bowl gouges are designed for hollowing bowls where strength is required working well over the rest. A ½-in spindle gouge can be used to turn almost anything provided it's ground appropriately and cutting reasonably close to the rest.
Thank you so much for your reply and clarification. So if I am roughing a grain side mounted tree branch, I should use a bowling gouge?@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
@@ivonne19641 When the grain runs at 90° to the lathe axis you can use bowl gouges or ½-in spindle gouges, but not the deep-fluted spindle roughing gouges.
Thank you!@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
