Are you making a matching sugar, too? Beyond the tool skills and beautiful design, one takeaway I have is how important the chucks are to the implementation of the design. Like a chess player, you seem to know the next couple chucking moves ahead. I guess that comes with years of practice.

Thanks Richard. You certainly are a wood turning treasure and mentor to many many woodturners. This box demonstrates your ability and decision making exceptionally well. I was a little surprised that you didn’t have a piece of wood big enough just lying around, as you usually turn some pretty special Timbers. Thanks once again. Question. Asymmetric grind, do you have this on bowl gouges and or spindle gouges. Can you tell us the rationale behind this grind please. Do you think that this grind can be achieved using a jig as many/most Woodturner’s can’t duplicate a grind successfully without a jig.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning53 минут бұрын
An asymmetric grind enables a cut from rim to centre in a deep bowl. It essentially two gouges in one. In the early 1970s bowl gouges were ground straight across. There's a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ-xc3WMZp6Mgtk

I don't know if my method is used by woodturners to remove a tenon instead of using an "adjustable jaws set". I've made a concave cone (and a convexe cone) which can be fitted in a chuck as a driver. I take the finished piece of wood between the cone (with cloth to protect it) and the tailstock with a fine tip. So I can remove almost the whole tenon, the rest is removed easely afterward. It works very well, no vibrations, no risk of ejection of the piece of wood, almost all pieces of wood can be fitted in a cone.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning16 сағат бұрын
You'll see many variations of your method in my bowl videos. I find non-slip cloth better than ordinary fabric and often use an MDF disk to prevent the tailcentre penetrating the wood. Before modern chucks came along about 35 years ago we professional turners used 3-jaw engineers chucks, faceplates, and screw chucks when turning bowls. To remove chuck marks bowls were mounted between centres or over or into a jam chuck that was mounted on a screw chuck.

Very interesting bowl. Feet are very surreptitiously placed on bottom. . Love this one Richard. However you already know my feelings about cooking oil. Try coconut oil. Too thin out the coconut oil I use walnut oil. All of which is available from Aldi and woollies.. thanks for sharing this one. You must have some very interes and nice wood stacked away.
@RichardRaffanwoodturningКүн бұрын
The rice oil is proving very good so far, but I'll try some coconut. I've very little wood stashed away having downsized and most of what I have is in boxes and priced to sell to local turners. I've a few dozen blanks ready for videos but very little with 'interesting' grain or burl. When in production I had hundreds of roughed bowls and box blanks seasoning, but very few boards.

Hi Richard. Another great video - thanks. Question. Ive been trying to get those fantastic shavings like in your videos. Ive got my tools really sharp, and still struggle. I have noticed you run your lathe speed much faster then i do - does it make alot of difference? I also get alot of vibration noise which i think is due to the bench i sit my lathe on not being heavy/substantial.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning2 күн бұрын
First you need to know that some timbers have very short gain that doesn't allow you to create long curly shavings. However you're working a commercially common hardwoods like cherry, maple, walnut, ash, or poplar, a lack of long curly shavings means you need to adjust your tool presentation. Speed shouldn't be an issue but you need to be sure not to push the tool hard into the cut: let the wood come to the tool. If your bench is vibrating, try to weight it down with something heavy. Bags or cement or sand are popular additions to lightweight lathe stands.

That is an amazing looking bowl, in figure and an form. Turning looked more like sanding than anything else. Turning that thin would be nightmare (or epoxying it to deathm and what would be the point of that?) Was this a burl, or is the timber like this through out? Thanks for another entertaining, amusing ('good exercise') and educational video.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning3 күн бұрын
This is a burl and it was probably solid when cut. It's at least ten years old and likely nearer 20 or 30 so will have split whilst drying.
@MarklTucson3 күн бұрын
Very interesting design; I had never seen a turned thick bowl before. The feet are quite subtle. You mentioned at the beginning of the video that the main challenge for a thick bowl is making it feel good when picking it up and holding it. Are there specific features one should strive to provide or is this something that one needs to test while developing the shape? That wood was fascinating; the way it came off the tools was cool to watch but I'm sure was not quite as enjoyable for you turning it. The figure after you applied the oil is awesome.
