@@bobbyshelton8781 Now THAT'S what I should have done! I get too rushed and want to just get to turning. I really should just make up a bunch of them so they're ready to go. Thanks for watching!
@billthompson9482 I probably should have done that! I have a pretty good ability to visualize things but if things go sideways I'm stubborn and sometimes hang on to my initial plan too long...
@@FRBPturning Don't get me wrong I often change the design on the fly. Drawing things out just helps me with procedure and I have a better visual frame of mind as i am turning. The tray came out looking just fine.
I'm not sure what you mean. Is the finish perfect? No. Can I do better? Yes. This was my first time turning a piece like this so I was more time-invested in exploring the shape than creating a museum quality finish. If I was making this for a customer or planning to sell it, I would have fixed some of the flaws (or just started over). Thanks for watching!
You’ve got some nice compression grain in this piece. The narration sounds fine to me but I encourage you to do what feels best to you even if that’s different from what others do. It’s your channel so let it be itself. You might not get as many subscribers but you won’t be selling yourself out.
@@STMwoodturning Thank you! I'm trying to make incremental improvements where they make sense. It's tough because I think there are 2 audiences. One wants no narrating and one that does. The conundrum is that it makes the video flow differently. I'm spending some time this weekend digging into the data to see if i can find the best solution that I still enjoy doing. I appreciate the constructive feedback.
Great job
@@908woodturner Thank you!
Voice sounds fine. Good looking piece as usual Jim.
@alandisomma-od5fz Thanks Alan!
Nice save Jim.
@@kevinanneb6874 thank you!
Beautiful grain.
@@jamesbrasseaux133 Thank you!
I really like the platter.
@@maryrichmond Thank you!
@ You’re welcome.
Great job. Likes the audio.
@@deanweeks7956 thank you! The new microphone will be so much better.
Some woodturning lessons would help a whole lot
Maybe. But I prefer to learn by trail and error. I’m a retired teacher so a classroom is not my preferred place these days.
Looked like a tough piece to tackle buy you aced it.
@jimvorheis1137 It should have been easy, if I hadn't had a brain fart. Thanks for watching!
Turn a glue block glue it to the bottom with hot glue, remove it with alcohol.

You are welcome, and I do audio. Nice to hear what turner are thinking about as they work.
Glue a part of wood under and use to fix in the chuck!!!
After turning away and sand the surface...
Yup! I wish I would have just slowed down a bit and had a think. I’m much smarter when I go slow!😅
Glue block would have solved that dilemma!
@@MikeB0001 I hate that i didn't see this coming before I started! Thanks for watching!
@FRBPturning measure once..cut 2ice!..looked good completed.
I draw things out first it helps to think the job through. Also the foot should be 2/3 the dim of the plate or tray.

You are going to have to pay more attention to details on the scraping and finish

@ sounds like you’re on the right track to me 😊
