- This is about completing two roughed-out (partly turned) bowls, about remounting a warped bowl on a lathe, then dealing with splits and split knots.
For in-depth explanations of the tools and techniques you need to refer to Richard Raffan’s woodturning books and videos. www.richardraffan.com.au/book...

When I come out of my shop after things have gone wrong I’m cheered to see that they go wrong for others as well. These things happen to the best and it doesn’t mean I’m hopeless- so I’ll keep turning and learning and on to the next project. 😊
VHS tapes, then DVD. Now RUclips. The demos keep getting better. Clear, concise and full of useful information. Thank you.
i loved watching norm back in the day he was no wood turner but he showed the basics in the 80s every Saturday. steal trying to find time to build his highboy i bought the plans 20 years ago. loved that show
Thank you Richard for saying sometime you need to abandon a project. I am really enjoying you sharing your knowledge and look forward to putting it to good use.
Beautiful bowls of course but the fun is in watching and learning from your technique and commentary. It’s so different from others on RUclips but so ultimately practical. Thank You!!
Thank you for sharing that with us, Richard
outstanding demo, thank you Richard sharing your wisdom
Your running dialogue is extremely helpful, Richard. The problems you encounter (and sometimes overcome) are those we mere mortals run into all the time. Really excellent instruction; please keep it up!
There's no point in hiding problems in learning situation and overcoming problems makes for far more interesting demonstrations.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Richard, Your long experience as a professional turner and your ability to translate that knowledge makes me, a geezer in his eighties, look forward to every new Raffan video. You are among the very best! Keep it up.
thank you for the shows you said been off for a year and down sized your tools. you okay or just taking a break.
I've been turning for a few years now. Watching your videos have given me a MUCH better understanding of what I've been trying to do. Your expertise is so enjoyable to watch and learn from. Thanks for what you are doing.
Richard, I am just past the 26 minute mark and have to stop to say thanks for a tip. I'm only 74 but old enough to think about the physical stresses and your suggestion to rest an arm on the head and pull the sandpaper will be used tomorrow. Thanks! Now back to the video.
"no point in spending hours making something that will be second rate anyway." Wise words right there.
Lovely bowl! Thanks.
I love the candor and how authentic your videos and lessons are. Im learning a lot more from this video than i had from other much furnished videos from other gentlemen. I hope you release more videos good sir. Always paying attention to you :)
Great being able to see his turning!
Thanks for sharing Richard, so many tips to pick up on.
Great pragmatic information, thanks for sharing. Your books have been a great inspiration also.
So much to take in, I love it!
Thank you👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Great video, very informative. Really enjoy watching them
Love it! So much versatility using gouges and scrapers.
Picked up 2-3 tips in this one. Thank you so much.
Great video Richard.
Thanks for the quick Lesson Richard.
Take care
Cheers
Harold
Impressive, a true artist!
Best video on subject..... Another nice little bowl.... Looking forward to more videos.....😀
Love the conversation between you two, questions are great
Thanks You! Very timely for me!!
Just awesome! Thanks for sharing...
i love watching this video, most especially because i bought this bowl. makes me think i should make "making of" videos to go with the bowls i sell (but who has the time to video record all that turning?) :)
you are a very good nonsense teacher you show how to do things right no more needs to be said richard you are really a no nonsense man you show things honestly
great tips what if been never before seen👌
I was hoping to have better luck with splitting by selecting wood from standing dead trees on my property assuming they would be relatively dry without being rotten.
Dead trees are likely to be dry with splits to work around. The trouble with wood from dead trees is that the wood looks dead. It's a sad fact that best wood comes from trees that have been killed.
Such a clear and concise explanation, and so pragmatic. The different coloured sandpaper is a grand idea. How do you find it for longevity?
I've been using it for many years and tested it for a year as a production bowl turner before the Colour Coded Grit was released on the market.
Hello Richard. You say that you use boiled linseed for almost everything, , and bees wax. What else do you employ for your finish? Best regards.
That's it, just the oil and wax. I'll do a video on how I finish and why.
Super video's, I'm learning lots. Please, what power is your lathe and depth range? I've just started on a small 375 watts, 240mm diameter lathe, and getting the hang of it very quickly so thinking I will buy something more powerfull in a while, but not sure if bigger is necessarily better. What's your thoughts Richard? Cheers.
My Vicmarc VL 150 has has 0.75kW motor and it's large enough to turn a 270mm diameter bowl. I've also the long extension bed which gives me more than enough for tools handles and the odd chair leg. vicmarc.com/product-page/lathes/vl150-detail. I've downsized to this lathe but for years had VL300s. I hardly ever got to use anywhere near the full capacity of the VL300s.
Do you sand at the same speed as you cut? Or do you slow the speed for sanding?
Occasionally I slow the lathe a few hundred revs for sanding, but only if I feel the abrasive isn't grabbing dragging on the wood. For the first 20 years of my turning career variable speed lathes weren't an option and changing speed on pulleys took too much time and therefore money. If the abrasive slips and slides on the spinning wood you can drop the speed, but it's usually better to get fresh abrasive.
Please, more on the "EXT"; why must you remount this way? I thought you could remount any old way-is there a good reason?
EXT=External=the range of diameters for expanding jaws. What you see is the most effecient way I know of making a turned bowl. I detail this and other ways of rechucking roughed bowls in Ch. 6 of Turning Bowls.
Ah! So, you have a bunch of calipers preset to minimum chuck sizes! Also, I like your practice of honing a tool in place while turning(with diamond hone), rather than turning the lathe off, walking to the grinder, walking back...Will I become as good as you if I justwatch you long enough? Im not so foolish...
The dividers are set to the diameter of the jaws as they were machined (before being cut into four jaws) so they can clamp around a slightly smaller diameter if needed.
How many bowls do you think you have turned in your lifetime?
A few years ago when I still had all my invoice books I counted just over 30,000. Only around 3,500 were more than 12-in/305mm diameter and about 45% were less than 8-in./200mm diameter. At least 2000 would have been less than 4-in. /100mm diameter, whilst only about 150 were more than 16-in/400mm.
Rex Krueger sent me :-)
Bonsoir, pourquoi doit-on faire bouillir l’huile de lin peut-on l’utiliser dans un bol Pour mettre des aliments par la suite ? Merci bonne continuation 👍
L'huile de lin bouillie est un produit qui n'est pas réellement bouilli, mais traité pour sécher plus rapidement. Utilisez l'huile de lin.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Merci beaucoup, c’est vous qu’il a préparé l’huile de lin ? Est-ce qu’il faut la faire chauffer longtemps ? Merci
@@Pabloos8634 Nous pouvons acheter de l’huile de lin bouillie ou de l’huile de lin nature. L'huile de lin nature ne sèche pas, j'utilise donc les graines de lin bouillies. Je l'utilise directement sorti du contenant. Je n'ai pas besoin de le chauffer. Si vous avez de l’huile de lin et qu’elle sèche, utilisez l’huile de lin. Ou utilisez de l’huile de noix qui est une finition populaire pour les bols à salade.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning merci beaucoup 🤗
