Thank you so much for the detailed techniques. I finally confident enough to make my first plate. Not only I love the end result but also all the fine shaving that resulted by using the bowl gouge.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I'm new to this (six months) and love the way your thoroughly explain not only the "How to" but the "Why" for doing it a certain way.
When Kirk says he is using a 3/8" bowl gouge, is that the actual steel size or the size of the flute. Generally the Brits call a 3/8" bowl gouge is the same as what US calls a 1/2". I'm just trying to get that clear. Thanks
I bought a sander a lot like that... mine was red though. It turned into a flame throw. I guess it sucked up all the dust and after a few weeks any time I pulled the trigger it would shoot flames out the lower ports.
Well that sounds... exciting! With flames like that - it might be time for a new unit. If you get one, it does help to blow out the motor after each use.
Kirk, Thanks for the lesson. One thing I missed is what wax were you using to reduce sanding dust and then as a final finish? Stay safe and well to keep the videos coming. Cheers, Tom
Great video. I have been turning platters for a bit, but I learned so much. Thank you.

Merci beaucoup pour la traduction qui m’est très utile bien cordialement
Excellent presentation.

Muchísimas gracias por compartir
Gtreat video. Where can I replace my smoothometer? Mine's gone all wrinkled! Never cut a platter before so this tutorial is excellent thanks.
When sanding, was the lathe going forward or reverse? Just curious so I know when drill should be in forward or reverse. Thanks!

What is the grind on the gouge in the Tower Box? It looks really long and swept back. Jim J
Thank you for such a great video. What kind of sander are you using? It looks so handy and practical

He's using tools manufactured in England, so the 3/8" gouge has a 1/2" bar - the 3/8" is a measure of the flute.
It would be easier to tell us in mm….😊
I need to get me one of those Smooth-o-meters?
Take my word for it - you’ll have one before you know it! 😬😋

I have been looking for a right angle drill like you are using to sand with. Could you share the make? Thanks for the info and the tips.
