Multi-Axis Square Turning

[@johnbuccioni1693]

HI Olivier, what a treat to our "older" woodturning eyes to see a process we have been using called "THERMING" ... You revived and totally refined it to modern level of 2022 !!! It is always a treat to watch your Utube posts !! .... don't ever stop !

[@52Ford]

"Therming". Never heard the term till now. Thanks for sharing that! I'm not a wood turner, per se (I RARELY turn wood), but it's always nice to learn the proper nomenclature.

[@majobis]

I had to look it up after you mentioned the wording term in wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therming

[@armastat]

I always referred to the rigging of it as a Carousel. As in a carousel like at a fair. lol. to each their own I guess.

[@my0wn911]

Thanks I had to look it up. New to woodturning but the possibilities are really amazing. This young man is AMAZING. love his work

[@mrbrown6421]

I put a strobe light on my wood lathe that was synchronized with the rotation of the lathe. Dim the back lights, turn on the strobe light, and suddenly the spinning blurry wood stock was freeze frame visible. Stunning! There was on odd desire to touch it, so I had to remind myself it was still moving. I added another control that would delay the sync pulse from the lathe to the strobe, so I could effectively slowly rotate the spinning wood, and select the side I wanted to see. I learned a lot from that strobe setup, especially about tool edges and how they cut. It was as if I touched the tool to the wood, and instantly I could see the ring develop around the stock. A real mind blower. It was too addictive, and I didn't know the long term side affects of watching it, so I disabled it and gave it to a friend: Mr. Geiger. I always hoped he would patent it and make it popular, but there is the downside of inducing seizures.

[@shirleyostrander6531]

Instead of a strobe light, could you use a video and monitor set to synchronize? I saw a video not long ago that stopped the blades. Very cool! Good luck!

@@shirleyostrander6531 Good thinking it'll work and a spinning aperture geared to the lathe works too. Anything beats harmonic blinking, eye got two tired.

[@verdatum]

I remember the boiler room in my church growing up (dad was the trustee) had some moving parts with warnings all over it because it was rotating at the same frequency as the fluorescent lighting, making it look motionless. It was inside a cage, but otherwise, it could easily tear off a hand.

Very nice. Used a similar technique to make speakers for my apartment, as a student. Added a adjustable, telescoping type, each on it’s own standard. Articulation and barbell from lifting set weights. Lots of fun to be found in working with Wood. Closing in on 80, I’m a Retired, Sand County Almanac, Forester by degree and vocation. Thanks, these videos bring back memories. Now? I sit on the Dock, grow orchids, sketch pretty pictures and write bad Haiku. Everyone stay safe 👍🏽 Thanks

[@shvartze]

This young man has a combination of amazing skills. He has inventiveness, the ability to foresee how his project will turn out, and great artistry in creating it. Even with complete directions another very skilled artisan may not be able to duplicate his creations. He seems to have that X factor that it takes to be a fabulous sculptor, painter, or composer. I love watching him create and I hope he remains prolific and creates a large body of work.

@@motog4-75 The risk is that even when being as careful as possible, the gloves can become snagged on the piece itself, or on the machinery you’re working with, and essentially pull the hand into the machine.

[@Chris.Davies]

As an old woodworking geezer, I watch you wearing gloves, and not using a pusher on your table saw, and I cringe. At least you left your splitter on - but holy moly. My Dad used to try to save the fingers of professional woodworkers who got lazy and/or stupid around table saws. Sometimes he was able to. But more common were nasty injuries from the kickback getting them in the gut. And look, I know that you know what you are doing. We all do. But when and if you lose fear of your table saw, a horrible accident is on the way. I am so scared of table saws I won't have one in my shop! There is no such thing as "bad luck" in a workshop. Fear is what keeps me safe when I am working. And I am so glad that many tools still scare the shit out of my. My angle grinder scares me spitless, even knowing how each quadrant works. My routers give me the absolute willies! And even my electric plane makes me very careful. When you have had a doctor for a Dad, and he's a woodworker, and he's a repairer of woodworking injuries, you develop a very healthy respect for power tools, and how to avoid being sucked into them, or having them kick into you. I wear bullet-proof chaps when I am chainsawing, for example. And a hardhat, goggles, and a face shield!
