There's no greater joy than watching other people make something beautiful from a piece of wood that I supplied. You did a great job Frank and it gets even better when reading the comments. 'het mooiere hout om mee te werken'. That feels great and I hope you will enjoy using this piece for years to come. Taking down a tree is something that you should not do lightly. Trees improve our air quality and provide a home for all kinds of animals. And when you do, handle it with care. A tree yields a lot of wood but it still is a limited resource which must not be wasted. Right now I have more than I can turn myself so I'm happy to share, I will bring you some more!
Leo, I am not yet an experienced woodturner, but this is the most beautiful wood I have been able to turn. It is so beautiful that I save and reuse the sawing waste. You know that I love to reuse wood and want to give it a new (permanent) purpose. Great if I can get some more walnut. I am very grateful to you for that. I have now also turned a piece of poplar. Felt dry on the outside, but oh so wet on the inside. Is now drying in its own shavings. Thank you for your comment 🤗
Beautiful platter, Frank! You more than satisfied the questions I raised with you last week about this particular lathe. Very impressive. The videography is very nice, too. Thank you!
Thank you. Turning on a smaller lathe is also very satisfying. I know that from my own experience. Satisfaction and learning, that's what I do it for. Take care. Frank.
Excellent work Frank! You know when I first saw your lathe I loved it and pretty sure I made a comment about how it looks so well built. So you just showed us it is. I think turned that way gave it more stability because of the extra length the stand offers that way. Works with the torque of the spin. Sorry just amazed at how well the lathe handle it. The the way you turned it was just as amazing and flipping it around to get a more stable situation was brilliant as well. Worked wonders. The finished platter is beautiful. Well done Frank...I love it Gary
Wow Gary, you make me blush. It is a great lathe indeed. Very versatile and manageable. I still want to fill the legs with sand. Not only for the weight, but also because of the hollow sound. Chisel vibrations sometimes resonate with turning the larger workpieces. I doubted whether I had done well to turn the platter inbetween. But in the end everything turned out fine. Thanks for watching and all the best to you. Frank.
The Jet that I had you could swivel the head stock but I never did. The one I have now will do 18" and I just about maxed it on the one I am working on now. But I did turn it down from there. If I want bigger I can slide it to the end and get the extension made for that or make a floor stand. Probably just be happy with18" lol
Wow, everything is great with your project. Size, beauty and the danger of working on something like that. I hope to be able to turn that kind of dimension one day. For now I'm just going to drool. Great work!
Finally I get to Your video, Frank 👍 Watching all videos is taking a lot of time 😁 Ok, let's back to Your project... Walnut from Leo in every video looks great, at Yours especially because You used a very big blank. Bigger blank, more beauty 😀 I suppose You have spent less time with turning this walnut than last oak bowl. I can't wait to make a project with similar size 😎💪 All the best my friend 👍😀
Haha, you shouldn't watch videos, you should be behind your new lathe. With a big smile from ear to ear. And make beautiful things there, such as a large Walnut platter that you turn sideways on your lathe😁. (You can do that now💪) Thanks for still watching my video🙏. I am very curious about your first video behind your new lathe. Enjoy and turn safely!
@@TheTinyWorkshop I have no time for nothing last days. I'm watching videos at work 🤫😉 Weather is beautiful now but I'm running from office to office, from lawyer to court 🥵 I would really like to turn something but for now I can watch very good woodturners as You in work. Tomorrow I should have free afternoon so will try to go to the workshop and turn something small 😀 Press on my Friend 💪😊
That's a big'un for sure Frank and a lot of work to keep in reach eh ? But well worth it ! Very nicely done my friend🏆 Thanks for sharing🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷 p.s. faster never hurts ... to a point ... on something that big double check surface speed (feet per second or meters per minute??) is not too high
Thanks Mike. I'm glad you like it too.🤗 The higher the speed, the more fear. 😳 How to measure? The circumference or the diameter? Surely there will be a physical calculation. I have no idea. I now try to pay attention to vibrations in the lathe, but I keep those vibrations if the speed is too low and I cannot make a good cut with the gouge. I think it's still quite difficult for me🤔.
Great work 👏! My lathe has the option of turning bigger stuff like that too but I've been afraid to try it. My lathe is a cheap central machinery from harbor freight. Do you think my lathe would handle it? Take care and GOD BLESS!
Thank you Stephen. I can't tell you if your lathe can handle that. You can of course also turn sideways with a small piece of wood. So you can try out what it is like. Good luck and be careful! 🙏
Hmm, my earlier reply didn't show or did it ? I'll repeat somewhat ... *vibrations* Yep, you have to keep vibrations down, so slow until it gets round and runs true. Takes courage & persistence ?? *look at this for speed advice* (a table @5:00) Lookup the vid by "Mike Peace Woodturning" called "When Do You Change the Belt Pulley on a Wood Lathe?" of Jan 15, 2021 'cause YT is giving me trouble. *surface speed calculation* RPM x Diameter x 3.14 to get cm/minute if you measure bowl in centimeters or mm/minute if you measure diameter in millimeters, etc. ... easy peasy !!
yeah right. Easy peasy (for you?) Not yet for me😳. I have watched Mike Peace's video and find this very interesting (also because the Record Power Coronet is mentioned in the overviews). I'll watch this video a few more times before it gets really clear. According to the calculation to go towards the 27MPH speed (27MPH = 43.3KM/h) that Mike indicates; 550rpm x 40cm x 3.14 = 69080 cm/minute or 41.45 KM/h Then I should indeed have turn a little faster than I have done with this walnut platter. 🙏Thanks for this feedback Mike. This helps me a lot further!
@@TheTinyWorkshop But did you know as Mike Peace says "I'm not an expert but I play one on the internet" ? (Maybe it was Steve Good ??) Just saying. hehe. Don't get too fixed on "The Correct Speed " !!! - mostly go with what is comfortable for you.
I haven't heard that statement, but it's a nice one😁. I normally turn by feeling and comfort, but with this large platter I noticed that I did not get a straight result. It must have to do with speed. So it is good to have a guide.

Yes Greg, this lathe is very versatile. I always enjoy working with it. Thank you for your compliment on my video. Nice to hear.
All the best!

Awesome platter Frank, you sure made the lathe work. Great size, great grain, great colours and great finish.
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Thanks Bluey. You know how nice the Coronet Herald is.
This wood is wonderful.
👍Frank.
Beautiful platter Frank, the lathe work. Great size, great grain, great colours and great finish.
And a great comment from you Dave! Thanks.
Hi Frank... amazing platter.... I havn't turned anything anywhere near that size... great job... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thanks for watching Andy. Size doesn't matter anyway 😉
All the best.
Frank.
Brilliant Frank, just brilliant. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw. I like brilliant 🤗
Frank.
Beautiful platter I have a 12x18 wen lathe I wish it would turn like that great job on the platter keep on turning👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Turning on a smaller lathe is also very satisfying. I know that from my own experience. Satisfaction and learning, that's what I do it for. Take care.

That lathe has great versatility.
Yes! I am very happy with this lathe.
Thanks for watching.
Nice work Frank, looks great. Take care, John
Thank you John.

That sounds very stressful😳. Take care of yourself.
great job love the way it came out
Thanks Luie. This is very nice wood from Leo.
@@TheTinyWorkshop did he give it to you or did you purchase it?
It was a real gift. I only had to help with some pear bowls. See my video about that 🍐😊
Bigger than anything I have attempted although my CL3 works much the same. Great end result! Cheers, Dave
The CL3 could easily handle this. You just have to give it a try. It is also nice to turn sideways once.
Take care Dave and thanks for watching.
I love it. Frank from WoodWorx
Thank you Frank. Glad you like this one.
All the best.
Frank.
Schitterende schaal. Is ook wel het mooiere hout om mee te werken.
Dit hout is werkelijk prachtig. zodra je er een olie of wax op doet komt het heel mooi op kleur.

Echt schitterend geworden en inderdaad een prachtig stuk hout! Leuk ook je uitleg erbij, mag ik een keer live komen kijken? 😘
Natuurlijk mag dat.
Moeten we alleen niet over de 1,5 meter gaan beginnen, want dat gaat niet 😏
@@TheTinyWorkshop dan doen we dat gewoon niet, jij zit toch in mijn bubbel😃
