Great information, Steve. I've come to the same conclusion about bloxagyn. It's just not very effective. However, Stop Loss Bags are amazing. Finishes last much, much longer when stored in these bags.

Very nice Steve. I will have to give this technique a go. Thank you for sharing

Hi Thanks for a very informative discussion on Sanding. Please can you give us a link here below, and a copy of your notes comparing the various types of sandpaper. thank you again, I will tick and subscribe.

Denatured alcohol and a micro fiber cloth removes dust nicely and evaporates quickly preventing saturation of wood and removes the finest of dust!!! Thanks for the lesson!! I thought I new a lot about sand paper!!!

Thanks for sharing Steve, very simple yet interesting. Cheers, Jim.

Hi Stephen. Thank you for the video! Its the only one out there that I've been able to find that covers a good way to apply spar urethane to turned items. I've been using this method for a little while now, and have had some success. That said, over the last couple of weeks, I seem to be having a problem with scratches showing up after I sand the prior coat. I'm using an inertial sander with 600 grit, and working on it until I see no shiny spots. When I first put on the next coat using your method, everything looks excellent, glassy gloss shine and smooth (still haven't perfected eliminating every ripple yet). It is once the next coat has dried, that I then see all the scratches. I suspect its the coat thinning as it dries, and I guess its thin enough to depress into the scratches on the previous coat. In any case...I can't seem to find a way to eliminate this issue. I've gone up in grit levels, to 800, 1200, on each subsequent coat, but that doesn't seem to do anything for the scratches in the earlier coats (which of course, they are covered by additional layers of finish.) Really scratching my head here, about how I can actually get, and keep, that glassy glossy shine. FWIW, my finish is aways fresh. I use stop-loss bags to preserve the whole can, then pour only the necessary amount out of that into a jar when I'm actually applying a coat. So I'm not using expired or otherwise bad finish. I am now also doing both inertial sanding, and then sanding with the grain, to try and make sure scratches added by the inertial sander are hidden by scratches going with the grain. That seems to work on the wood itself...I'm not sure that actually really helps when sanding the finish itself. Here is an example of the kind of scratch issues I'm encountering (this is the second coat): photos.app.goo.gl/NUvUDVKUJVhDwa8i8

Looks like CO2 would be easy to put in the jar. You can pour it in like a liquid. It displaces all the air and even if some air is left behind it'll be at the top near the lid and not letting O2 into the fluid

Has anyone placed a tap/spigot in order to allow for an air-free environment in the can? Or does it go bad regardless of the can even being opened?

Incredible video! Many thanks. Handicap cameraman...

Great job!

Loved watching the synchronized slide work of the trombone players (except the bass trombonist). Sousa brings back many memories.

This is so good!❤🎉

Interesting

Great sense of humor too.

The camera man needs to go on a corse to learn his craft

Definitely a master class in hollowing. Too many “little tips” to count!

I just love this piece, and well done too.

How long will the urethane last in the stop loss bags?

Thank you very very much Steve For this excellent video. I have always admired your excellent finish On each piece you complete. I will Start using each idea you presented here and hope. My finishes turn out as well as yours.

What angle is the saw set at

This definitely makes me convinced that your tool rests are the ones to get! Amazing workshop I have no idea how dust is controlled even with all 4" ducting. Really amazing da vinci workshop!

Do you have any videos on your shops dust collection. I am in the middle of building a turning shop and would love to see more on your collection. I like the fact that you said that not collecting dust from sanding is not acceptable. I would like to go that same route and would be greatful to see what you use in detail.

Is it just me or is the entire band playing it too slowly?

Hi Steve, thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise. I'm a rank beginner with this finishing stuff. Please excuse my ignorance, but how much of the varnish coat is being removed each time you sand the gloss off between coats? It looks to me like your removing the entire coat. I've always been hesitant to sand much between coats for that reason. Keep up the great work!

Gotta get everyone in tune next time...

I still enjoy watching you do this. Best finish ever. I always brag about learning this finish from Steve in the "Steve Sinner Studio" !

What is the name of the tool with the three wheels that he is adjusting at 29:59 ?

Omg. Such important information destroyed by absolutely abysmal camera work. It looked like it was filmed in the 70's.

does it make a difference between water or oil based spar urethane

Great video and finish. Is there anyway of seeing what you did for the dust collector shroud. I am trying ro come up with a good dust collector shroud.

Thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year, Steve! Sleigh Ride was great fun, too!

Awesome stuff. Merry Christmas/

JPS had great talent for sure

Great presentation. The Master sharing his techniques and work ethics. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, the camera work was terrible at moments and did not do justice to the work of Mr. Sinner.

Great video. I learned a lot of the basics.

It took me forever to find this arrangement. Thanks!

This is a very tricky composition! It has lots of exposed writing for ensembles to pay close attention to, the transparency of the writing makes it difficult. Good job ensemble!

Do all variable speed lathes turn that slow? Thanks Pete

Thank you very much for the video Stephen. A lot of good information! I came looking for tips on how to do a spray on poly finish and saw your video. You've enticed me to try your finishing technique. I just learned a valuable lesson to not apply poly to an uncured oil bowl. After waiting 4 days for the poly to dry passed the tacky stage, I realized that an oiled bowl that hasn't been cured/dried, does not like a poly finish! Lol. Leads to my next question. Have you applied this finish procedure to an oiled bowl (that's had the oil cure)? Do you notice a difference of oiled vs unoiled? Would you recommend raw wood vs oiled wood for this finish? If so, why? Thanks again for this amazing video!

Very well done Steve! I really liked the different pieces of art you showed at the end.
