Big platter but with little twist

#woodturning #ash #creative
This time I used a different finish and went for creative colors by Odie's which really lovely fill the grain in this ash.
Hopefully you'll get something out of this video.

Another very helpful video. I like the finish approach and am going to keep that in mind. I have some ash that I will be using for a piece in the near future and like the idea of a finish that doesn't yellow the wood. Thank-you for taking time to go through the details of laying out an ogee -- that process looks really straightforward and looks like it provides a great shape.

After watching both you and Richard use the overhand grip to deflect shavings, I gave it a try. It felt awkward at first, but I kept at it and now it feels quite comfortable. And it keeps me from using a death grip and getting tendonitis.

[@jayscott306]

Finally completed watching the whole video. I hope I didn't make unnecessary drama, earlier. I keep waiting for commenters like that to make a true contribution. But, the platter is excellent in each aspect. Great form with that elegant ogee. I like the use of white in your finish. I used to colour my sanding sealer, but now apply dye independently so I can work it after it dries. My latest mix was to melt mica powder into a little bit of my beeswax and mineral oil finish. Gold adds a nice twinkle in oak and I made some with iridescent turquoise to use on a wenge keychain. It catches everyone's eyes around the table. Your white was probably more elegant and less tacky than my choices. 😅

[@kugeldrechsler866]

Hi, Tomislav. Why you don't remove the bark by axe before you cutting the circle? Splits of bark may hurt your fingers often at the left hand i've learned in my first lession woodturning. Love greetings

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No need as I did try to pull it off but it was solid on the wood,but I rarely get hit by bark ,if its loose then I remove it, but if its solid like this one then its faster to turn it away

[@gggbon]

Very nice work. The trick about the ogie was helpful. Would it be possible to put a link in a comment about where you got it or to learn about it more? I didn't quite get the reference from the video. For instance, what is the reason to go against the grain in the first step?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX-nqXd-iM2Cgposi=51AarLY-dpjfWnEI This is Jimmy's video,has some other as well.... The reason to go against the grain is so you see a bit better the curve Your cutting,but be aware that last cut has to be with the grain

[@TommyLeopard-xv1oo]

Do you think the color will fade with time or completely with washing. Although as a display item it sure looks good.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Not sure to be honest, I'm curious as well ☺️

[@jrk1666]

Clewes calls it the inflection point, where the curve has to bend to the other side

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome, Thanks for that😉

[@turningwiththewoods]

Really nice. Have you ever just colored the rim and left the center just with wax? It might make a nice contrast as well.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No I haven't but its something to try out for sure☺️

[@jackthompson5092]

Absolutely gorgeous Tomislav, however I really doubt that you started turning it at 10,000 rpm. Maybe at 1000rpm but even that is quite fast for such a large blank.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

You are right, its not 10000 rpm 😅 not sure how I miss that in edit... It was 1050 and I do turn slighty on faster side of rpm but this blank was balanced lovely and dense all the way , again I always reccomend for someone who just started out to stay under 1000 rpm especially on big stuff.... Speed can be whole another video and what affect it and what is safe... Maybe one day I'll do a video 😉 Thank you very much for watching

[@nealramsey4439]

Your right that is a "big ass blank"....😂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😉

[@FDG4ever]

Do you think it's worth it to raise the grain with water before final sanding and finishing with oil/wax? I was wondering if I should do that on bowls that'll get sold.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I do it a lot when I make utilitarian stuff for clients, on some woods like ash its not always nessesary but maple likes to raise a grain when its washed....but also consider that over time,with use and washing the raise grain will diseperde...and you will have nice and smooth surface

[@clydeschuyler]

I know the oil you used is food safe but adding pigment to the oil still food safe? I’ve wanted to try some color to my work but have been afraid of paints and can’t find one that is food safe. Your work is always wonderful to watch. Your lessons are great to learn from.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Good question, I would say as its normal that after month or so every finish is inert so I think this is ok as well, now usually when I do a paint I use paint in outside, that way inside its still clean wood.

[@leecarey2516]

Was the scraper that you used on the face of the rim a negative rake scraper or a standard scraper?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I use 99% standard scrapers 🤗

[@cdrive5757]

At about 1:50 you said the spindle speed was 10, 050 RPM. Uh, I don't think so. I'm sure it was just a miss-speak because I love your work. You consistently inspire your membership to approach your level of excellence. Admittedly, it sits upon a very high plateau. Wakodahatchee Chris

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi Chris Ups I miss spoke that for sure😅 it was 1050 rpm, thank you very much for watching and support what I do

[@kenvasko2285]

Is the delineation between the rim and the bowl functional or just to break up the curve line? If this is a functional platter, it doesn't seem necessary. I like Jimmy Clewes technique. It looks great on your platter.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, its both decoration and its always sort of nice when you have a border around as it looks more elegant. Well atleast to me☺️

[@kenvasko2285]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning When you turn large platters, do you prefer the mortise grip so you don't have to flip to finish the bottom? I thought you would use the rim groove for that.

[@woodturn69]

Wondering why so many pull cuts. Also use of cloth rag is potential for finger injury.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Everything is potencialy dangerous on the lathe, that is why I learn the trade for 3 years and carrie on from woodworking to woodturning, now I like using cloth, and I never wrap it around anything, especially fingers, if it cought then its just taken away from my hand , so never wrap anything around fingers... But there is nothing wrong using paper towels , we all use what we are comfortble with. On the subject of many pull cuts, its accually not that many and I did enjoy turning this,so I didn't go fast or had to rush....

[@kenmore1961]

Everyone says to never use a spindle gouge on side grain, but then I see alot of people on youtube who are seasoned turners doing it (many of the same ones that say not to do it). Is it safe? Are the certain conditions it is safe and other conditions it is not?

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

It’s only deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges that shouldn’t be used for bowls and other facework. Deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges were designed for roughing spindles. They used to be marketed simply as roughing gouges, so novice turners, not unreasonably, used them for roughing bowls and heavy catches often resulted in a broken gouge. That’s where this myth that no spindle gouges should be used for bowls comes from - people using the wrong tool for the job.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Richard for your input ☺️

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Like Richard says ,most turners think about spindle roughing gouge when they say Not to be used on bowls.... Regular spindle gouge its fine, especially on outside where you don't have big overhang and stress over the tool rest. And also its cheaper then bowl gouge. But like with anything,use tehnique and tool that Works best for you, just make sure you don't use spindle roughing gouge on cross grain work. Hope it helps
