Copy Woodturning an unusual finial

This was a very unusual shape finial that I had to produce two off. A copy of an existing one.
Using mainly a 1” skew chisel and 1/2” spindle gouge. Tool rest slightly above center and approx 1350 RPM #woodturning

Steve, thank you for this and more for the future. It's always a joy to watch your skew work and I promise I'm still working on mine.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you 👍

[@robandsharonseddon-smith5216]

I love your accent. I lived in Birmingham for a while and I always feel homesick listening to you. Plus I'm hoping to be braver with the skew...

[@woodturner21]

Thank you, not many love the Brummie accent. Keep being brave 👍

Hi Steve. Good to see you are putting that expensive camera equipment into use.

[@woodturner21]

🤣🤣yes for those who don’t know it’s a iPhone on a piece of 2”x1”

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Amazing work.
Another channel that's equally great is tobias kaye. Sounding bowls is his main profession but he's turned all kinds and like yourself, he explains the rights and wrongs.
Great video mate 👍🏽 👌

great video of your skill as always Steve. That was an interesting shape, not one that I have seen you cut before.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you. It’s definitely the only time I’ve done this style, not one I’d like but it was matching existing ones.

[@user-eb7zh9wd9r]

👍👍👍!

Thank you

[@cherish9634]

How long have you been doing this. Gosh I wish I knew how.

[@woodturner21]

I’ve been full time professional for 43 years.

Hola Sr Esteban, realmente es muy agradable de ver su técnica con la herramientas. He tratado de hacer algo pero no paro de producir enganches mal.¿Pueda ser que tal vez tenga que ver la velocidad de rotación? Desde ya mi admiración total a la excelencia y pericia tan particular. ¡Abrazo!

[@woodturner21]

Thank you. It will be tool Presentation not rpm

[@danielhsorrentino8924]

@@woodturner21 hola quería decir después de un tiempo de continuar equivocandome, le di mucha importancia a esas palabras de su respuesta, y estoy más cerca de logros. Gracias gigante. Saludos.

Hi Steve, what's your favoured method to sharpen your turning tools

[@woodturner21]

I freehand grind on a 180 CBN wheel

[@sarahmichaelrobertsberesfo7869]

Brilliant! Your commentary and explanations really helpful also on your thought processes as your working… Thank you! Can I just ask, to what angle do you sharpen you 1/2 inch spindle gauge? Thanks++

[@woodturner21]

Thank you. I sharpen freehand so not an exact figure but it’s approx 35 degrees

[@sarahmichaelrobertsberesfo7869]

Thanks++

[@robertcornelius3514]

Thanks to Biden/Kamala's inflation I will not be able to continue with anymore wood turning.

[@woodturner21]

Times are hard everywhere our inflation in UK is worse than yours.
