As my skills improve, I can really appreciate the quality of your tool control. The tools have become an extension of your hands. If you would be willing to do a sit-down video, I'd love to hear the story of your journey as a wood turner.
Thank you Very much, its just practice and time. I have a few videos that I talk about that but its basically I have been turning from my age 15 when I learned my woodworking trade, so 18 years now,but from age 15 up to last 6 years I have been turning couple of times a week for furniture parts, and 6 years ago my wife and I bought my very own lathe for my shop and I have invest time and all the skill to make woodturning a living. So that is shortly but soon you might read more on this😀
Some of the best instructions I’ve found on RUclips! Being a new turner I appreciate your attention to detail and camera location. Seeing the tool close up helps immensely. Thank you.
Nice plate! The close up view is a nice format. Always interesting to see things from different angles I bet a little lemon juice would quickly take out the discoloration from the steel screw, or more likely from the steel drill bit in wet wood. Time tested trick from the furniture restoration world.
Thank you sir for lovely donation, I do know about lemon trick, but at the end its nice feature 😁, usually I don't have that dot but I did drill too deep on this one but it turned out ok😀😀 Thank you once again
That was the best vidio I could feel the shaving hitting my face see every detail with great detail. Thanks plus that plate i love it that ash is so beautiful. I my self couldn't eat of it it would be in my China cabinet to admire great job once again.
Tomislov thank you for the best wood turning video to hit RUclips! The views you provided definitely cleared up some things for me. Amazed at just how little of the cutting edge is in contact with the wood. My CBN wheel arrived yesterday so I definitely will be fixing the edges on my square scrapers. Than you again for sharing your expertise with all of us 🤠🇨🇱
I want to commend you for this great video. The closeup views really add a lot to your explanation of how to present the tool to the wood. All of the camera work is really excellent. I learn a tremendous amount from this type of video. Keep up the good work.
you showed your dust collection system some time ago , i just want to tell you about a product i use that i am very happy with , it is called a cyclone collector, it is simply a plastic lid that fits on a 35 gallon trash can ,your dust collecter hose goes into the lid and it creates a spin in the can, that takes out the larger particles ,then the collector bag only handles the fine dust , saving much stress on the fillter,i hope this helps,love your channel !!!

Hi Bryan, thanks for tip,I did have it a while back,but I had reduced airflow and cfm, and now I pretty much only sand and small shavings while cleaning, so it's actually really good now,better then in old shop. But if I had joiner or planner I would install it for sure.
Lovely work! I must find some ash and make progress toward this kind of near perfection, but lacking the 20,000 hours, I will settle for pretty good. Thanks for your efforts to pass on the means to meet the goal.
I’ve said this before, but you are by far the best instructor on youtube - I’ve improved my tool control and processes I use from watching you. Thanks.
Tomislav, I think this is great instruction! Since I have been using your scraper grind I notice how differently the sharp vs dull scraper shavings are, maybe you can demonstrate this
Positively the best instructional turning video I've ever seen, and I watch a ton of them. Thanks! Couple questions: Do you recommend the Klingspore J-flex sandpaper? What is the approximate bevel angle on the spindle gouge you used in this turning? Thanks again!
Thank you very much 😊 J flex is great sandpaper, there might be better options but its mostly a lot more money, this is good value and quality and is flexible enough. I never measure angles but its roughly between 35 and 30
Is there a particular reason for your use of a spindle gouge in the initial truing up. Rather than a bowl gouge? Superb video. Super clear explanation. Many thanks.
This is/was a very useful video. Many thanks for putting this together. Have me inspired to try some plates. With all my ash trees succumbing to the Emerald Ash Borer I have a lot to cut, and making some into plates as well as bowls seems like a good way to honour/use the trees (and a lot of firewood). What thickness is your ½" scraper. I'm thinking of buying some HSS steel tool blanks to try making one. I got a nice set of big heavy Henry Taylor Diamic scrapers that I have been really liking. Slowly moving the grind on them towards the angle you recommend. Have tried the 80 and 180 grit CBN wheels, not sure which seems to work better.
Both 80 and 180 are so close that there is not much difference, so don't worry about that, most of my scrapers are 6mm thick apart heavy duty bowl scrapers that are 10mm
Regarding that hole: you definitely drilled too deep for the screw chuck. Shit happens. I've watched the whole video and the images are indeed stunning. Great job & thnx for sharing your knowledge and skills! 😎
I’m afraid of insane tariffs or even closed borders depending on the election outcome in November. One candidate doesn’t understand economics; he played the part of a tycoon on tv. I really want my refiner and I’m excited to see the other signature tools coming in future.
Hopefully it won't come to that as most of interested buyers in my signature tools are from United States, so fingers crossed that it won't come to that.
Thank you , It should be as it seems but I only hope that something else won't come up and distract. It should be available for order in less then couple of weeks
Please don’t stop using metric dimensions… you are one of the few on the web using them so I didn’t have to convert at least here. Who will take care of us poor Europeans 😂😂😂
Great demonstration, Tomislav
Wow,very nice work! Another great video!👍🏻

Thank you soo much 😀
I learn so much from your videos im thankful to have found your channel
Thank you😀
Love the details, Tomislov - speeds, angles, close-ups of cutting action - all this is missing from most other instructional videos. Excellent!!
Thank you,that is why I made this 😀
I am just starting to turn and I'm learning a lot watching your videos. Thank you
Thank you very much for watching

Thank you once again
Very informative. Camera closeups are a great idea. Seeing exactly what is happening at the cutting edge is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I zoom in on the tool tip sometimes to really focus on the position and direction.
Thank you,glad you like it😀
That was the best vidio I could feel the shaving hitting my face see every detail with great detail. Thanks plus that plate i love it that ash is so beautiful. I my self couldn't eat of it it would be in my China cabinet to admire great job once again.
Thank you soo much Claude, This are the best to eat out of😀
Really nice camera work. I really enjoyed the close up view. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much 😊
Excellent video, the way you explained everything was easy to follow. Great use of the cameras. Thank you
Good morning 🌅, That was a territorial, And the plate looks very nice, from France,
Merci😀

Thanks Andy very much 😀
Great camera footage Tomislav
Thank you for explaining so clearly. The camera angels are realy good.
Thank you😀
Very nice, I love the close ups. Another great video. Thanks.
Thank you David
Fantastic camera work. The commentary and explanation of tool use was excellent . Well done.
Thank you

Very nice job looking very good!!!👌👍💯
Beautiful piece of rippled ash and like the design too. Thank you, your videos are always well paced and informative, with clear explanations.
Thank you very much 😊
This has been a great primer on turning. I always appreciate you approach to turning and explaining what you are doing as you are doing it. Thank you!
Thank you as always for watching 😀
Lovely work! I must find some ash and make progress toward this kind of near perfection, but lacking the 20,000 hours, I will settle for pretty good. Thanks for your efforts to pass on the means to meet the goal.
Thank you Lewis, just take your time and results will follow
I’ve said this before, but you are by far the best instructor on youtube - I’ve improved my tool control and processes I use from watching you. Thanks.
So glad to help, that is the reasons of why I do this
@ Here to your channel growing - Jonathan K.
Excellent macro shots, Tomislav. Really informative and enjoyable video.
Thanks Jason😀
🕶love the close ups. Great camera angles Tomislav.
Thank you Steven
Very nice work and a brilliant video!
Thanks!!!! Your videos help men to see and appreciate things I would never notice on my own.
Glad to help out 😀
Superb video with great close ups showing tool edge cutting. Well done. 😊
Absolutely beautiful, and so very informative. Thank you for the instruction, I so very much appreciate your efforts
Thank you,glad you like it.
Great video. Thanks.
Tomislav, I think this is great instruction! Since I have been using your scraper grind I notice how differently the sharp vs dull scraper shavings are, maybe you can demonstrate this
Great idea,its on the list of videos to come😀
Great job.
So thin. I cannot get it that smooth as you do. Great work
Thank you,I was lucky this time as I drilled that hole a bit to deep but it turnEd out great at the end
Beautiful images and highly educative. Keep them coming! 😊❤
Thank you buddy
Thank you for the class, I learned some new techniques.
Beautiful Super Man
Great video tomislav very informative,thanks for sharing buddy,
Kind regards From Will 👍 😊
👍👍😀 thank you Will
Many thanks brilliant video😊

Is there a particular reason for your use of a spindle gouge in the initial truing up. Rather than a bowl gouge? Superb video. Super clear explanation. Many thanks.
Its cheaper then bowl gouge and works great for stuff like this.... botg options are great
Good video.
Спасибо за видео.

Thanks for the information, it’s so great to be able to learn from your experience and expertise.@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning
thx much!
Regarding that hole: you definitely drilled too deep for the screw chuck. Shit happens.
I've watched the whole video and the images are indeed stunning.
Great job & thnx for sharing your knowledge and skills! 😎
Thank you sir😃
How do you prevent the spindle gouge from skating back when you're not rubbing the bevel, like in the beading of the plate's bottom @8:32? 🤔
Good question, you have to close the flute to either 3 or 9 o'clock and have tool on center height
Will the refiners be available for Christmas? Typically I never know what to ask but in that case .... 😎
I’m afraid of insane tariffs or even closed borders depending on the election outcome in November. One candidate doesn’t understand economics; he played the part of a tycoon on tv.
I really want my refiner and I’m excited to see the other signature tools coming in future.
@@DancingFox6totally agree! God only knows what shape we will be in for dealing with overseas suppliers 🤔🥴🇨🇱
Really? Its that bad, I'm assuming Trump policy or ?
Hopefully it won't come to that as most of interested buyers in my signature tools are from United States, so fingers crossed that it won't come to that.
Thank you , It should be as it seems but I only hope that something else won't come up and distract.
It should be available for order in less then couple of weeks
The centre is steel discoloration from the screw chuck.
How come you use the spindle gouge on a cross grain black?
Works lovely and its cheaper tool😀
Was just wondering about showing how your lathe is screwed to the floor. Even if you could send a picture of it. Thanks
I can't attach photo in RUclips comment,but its just a bolt in concrete with the nut that secured the lathe down
Its interesting to compare this with say Indian craftsmen who do repeated even more c II implicated versions very quickly
What the difference between a scraper and a refiner?
Refiner is scraper,its just a name in my lineup of tools, so viewers know exactly what I use.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning and it is a fantastic name, a triumph of branding. I mean, what turner wouldn't want a "refiner" tool!
@AndrewMoizer thanks, Now I need to come up with names for others😁
Please don’t stop using metric dimensions… you are one of the few on the web using them so I didn’t have to convert at least here. Who will take care of us poor Europeans 😂😂😂
