Making a Wooden Plate (uncut version)

This video was recorded (I think in september of 2013) and uploaded to KZbin, however it was not publicly listed. IT SHOWS THAT WHEN YOU RUSH (like I did) YOU WORK TWICE THE TIME TO FIX IT!
At that time I was making several plates with these walnut/mahogany segmented blanks.
It's a great way to make wider plates.
excellent gift idea too! people love it!

Why do I find watching your videos to be so relaxing??? 🙂

[@HarryWatts65]

Great Job has always Jake, beautiful set of platters, Thanks for sharing. Regards Harry

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Harry! The feeling from eating from these wooden plates is definitely interesting. It's a bit of a nice change from ceramic to less noisy plate :) Cheers

[@ButchShelton]

Great job, I am new to turning and you just make it look effortless. I hope to have the confidence in my tools that you have, one day. Its great watching you work. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Butch! It takes some time to learn how the tools work, and once you master that, the rest is pretty much a piece of cake. Safe turning.

[@halilsultanmamedov963]

Hi Jake! How do you attach that wood piece to the lath, could you make a video for beginners:)

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

great plate Jake nice finished All the best Robbie

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Robbie! This is my most preferred finish :)

[@rrd2404]

Enjoyed watching the plate tutorial. Did you drill the starting recess for the chuck or turn it between centers?

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Beth! I just turned it in between centers, however I was planning to cut the first recess with a foster bit (bummer is I didn't have a 2-¼" bit lol)

Hi Jake! I like the plate. I like the ROS sanding trick. Never thought about trying that. I will have to give it a whirl! Brett

[@jakegevorgian]

Hey Brett, hey bud don't use the random orbital sander, for some reason the sander became just an orbital sander. I think it's not designed for lathes :) but I like the orbital sander idea too (just too bad I had to buy another sander for the shop, or maybe it's a good thing lol)

[@chickenguru4]

Beautiful plates. Well done

[@jakegevorgian]

[@NourDette]

[@victororo462]

Gorgeous! Wow!

[@affrroo]

Great Job man!!!

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Vitor!

[@GreenArrows0705]

Those must have been some big bees to get a hunk of wax that large! ha ha

[@jakegevorgian]

[@ridiculouspink8991]

[@RobertSchoenert]

[@babugurung5952]

[@allanwright5736]

Fantastic Jake

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Allan!

[@stringmanipulator]

Awesome work as always :)

[@jakegevorgian]

:) thanks

[@mikepruett1745]

jake whats the best way to seal it for food ..

[@jakegevorgian]

For food that's not hot, like salads, fruits, I use the bowls finished with bees wax and walnut oil. I haven't tried eating from the wooden bowl when eating hot meals.

[@johnbailer6762]

What beautiful work ! I 'am motivated ! What are the approximate dimension of the plate ?

[@jakegevorgian]

I'm glad John. I think it's around 8" diameter.

[@seniorchiefharris]

Awesome plates Jake! I noticed that you used bee's wax and walnut oil to finish them. Ever tried carnuba wax instead of bee's wax? I've heard that carnuba wax is harder than bee's wax and may last longer??? Anywho, your plates are awesome and almost to nice to use! Thanks for sharing and safe turning to you!

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Kenn! Honestly I haven't tried carnauba wax in a dry form. And as far as the beeswax, I noticed that it turns into a parafine white when there's heat and moisture. But that's an easy fix with some oil treatment :)

[@pauljschuetz]

awesome plates what is the finish you use I seen the wax that part is easy to figure but what was the liquid in the bottle

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Paul! It's walnut oil in the bottle. Originally it came in a glass bottle, so I had to put it in a plastic one, so it didn't break. What Walnut Oil does to BeesWax is that it makes the friction faster and makes the wax to melt faster.

[@tjraymer]

What did you put on the top of the plate in addition to the beeswax, in the gatorade bottle.

[@jakegevorgian]

It was walnut oil.

[@chickenguru4]

I love it. What's in the spray bottle ?

[@kirkdavies5392]

awesome job!. How thick were the blanks to start with? Cheers, Kirk

[@jakegevorgian]

Thanks Kirk, these were ¾" thick blanks

[@JonJon-fi7kw]

[@rigdenjigme2097]

I am interested to purchase, where can i get the machines

[@shannanschisler8485]

I think you can do it yourself, just watch and learn from Woodglut.

[@7484tsmith]

Hi Jake, Newbe here, just wondering what is in the spray bottle

[@jakegevorgian]

7484tsmith hi, it's just water. Helps to minimize dust

[@rigdenjigme2097]
