Richard Raffan turns a square dish

[@peterdollive7648]

Good to see someone describe splits and then discard timber. Very informative videos thank you

[@kreech68]

What incredible tips and tricks come up in the "narration". Thank you so much. I have a bunch of your books, and learned from them in the days before KZbin. I just got a new lathe, and am going through your videos, and re-reading your books!

[@Penqueen2010]

Incredible as always. I love to watch Richard Raffan turning a piece of timber into something beautiful.

[@robinhorton6625]

Just stumbled onto your video, learn 4 things in one go, and your way of explaining is spot on, Thank-you, I now have lots of video's to catch up on.

[@paulinmt2185]

Richard Raffan is the best woodturning instructor I ever had (tapes and books). Thank you , Sir!

[@jonmullet5739]

Beautiful dish. I will have to try this - so much to learn! Thank you for the videos!

[@ghengiskoan]

Your channel is the best turning content on youtube. Thanks!

[@naturaIIydifferent]

That sanding disc to take the bowl back to a square is genius. I have tried making square bowls before but they didn't look right to me after I was done, and your method fixes that problem! Thank you for another awesome lesson!

[@Anry_V]

The point of turning a square bowl is not to cut the round to a square, but to keep the maximum dimensions of the blank.

[@paulhale3472]

I concur with the comment from J.a.D creations below. You are a true master. I am soaking up with relish the techniques you deploy with consummate ease. Thank you Richard

[@jackthompson5092]

Thanks for the demonstration Richard. That dish is beautiful.

[@craigpennifold3498]

Great demo. Thanks Richard.

[@glenncurtis6037]

Richard, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge of the tools and the wood.

[@peterhicks]

I am truly inspired - thank you Richard

[@hragget]

I appreciate the fact that you don’t refine surfaces any earlier than you need to… provides for greater efficiency. I can say the same is true for my old trade of cement finishing, and probably the same with many trades I expect.

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

You're dead right. No point in completing something that might need attention later in the project.

[@arleyloeffler8205]

Great work !!! And, you're a good teacher as well.

[@garychandler1067]

Always a pleasure watching you work!

[@DiemenDesign]

Very good Richard, enjoyed watching the process. And yes, as I always say "Childproof to keep the adults out".

[@randycosgrove3608]

Thanks Richard. I've turned square before but haven't done the "sand back to square" trick. Saw it in one of your other videos. Got to try that. Recently ran across another youtube turner ( Tomislav Tomasic Woodturning ) who's tool handling and work methods look sooo much like yours. He refers to you as his mentor and example. He couldn't have a better example in my opinion.

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

I think I helped him a bit.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Randy😀 He helped me a lot.... I'm turner the way I am beacuse oh Richard.....🤗

Thank you maestro. I always learn something from you videos. Much appreciated, God bless you.

The importance of listening to the wood and what the sound can tell you that your eyes can't, brilliant. Fantastic video and instruction Richard. Than, you for sharing your knowledge.

[@j.a.d.creations]

Thanks for another enjoyable demonstration Richard, it's always a privilege to watch a true master and gentleman of the industry.

Thanks for all your instructive videos. Very useful and educational. And thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us. Really very grateful!!!

[@jakegevorgian]

And another useful masterclass! Thank you, Richard!

[@glencrandall7051]

Quite a nice piece Richard. I wasn't sure you were going to get there in the middle of the video. But you sure pulled it off very well at the end. I truly love the shape and the color.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@cudamank]

Enjoy watching where the project went. I feel the wood always becomes what it wants.

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

The wood might have something to say, but I have the final word.

Hi Richard Another gem from your experience and knowledge,thanks for sharing. Love the moment when the oil hits the wood and it’s beauty really shines. Regards. From NZ

Thanks Richard always nice to get another view.

[@dagwood1327]

You really do well getting the right camera angle. Another great video.

[@LAZZY0001]

Another great video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skill with us. I learn something,... sometimes several somethings, every time I watch a video you post.

[@victorprimack2070]

Thanks Richard I’m just now stuck on a bit larger of the same dish and you got me unstuck. So much fun and educating to watch you work. Also, know that your explanations make sense so that I can put your techniques to work in my hands! Thank You!!

[@johnnyb95678]

Richard, watching you I always learn so much. I tried a similar dish, unsuccessfully, on a smaller scale a couple of times. Thanks to your guidance, I am going to try again after you sharing your tips and guidance. Thank you so very much!

[@mollylundquist9145]

Beautiful. This was astonishing to watch; it was hard to figure out exactly what you were going for and how were you going to get there. What a treat---and what a charming and beautiful bowl. And, yes, the top does look curved, which is what lends it the charm.

[@clydeschuyler]

Looks amazing as usual fine sir.

[@ultraric]

Thank you, Richard. So grateful for your master class.

[@n64previews29]

Best video yet Richard!

[@michaelheyward7668]

Beautiful dish!

[@brianhawes3115]

I am very happy that you’ve made these videos. I’ve got some Velcro and am going to make a sanding disc and support soon. Also the end grain hollowing is outrageous. Watched the video went to the shop and in three or for dips was at the bottom, way fast the a drill bit, and I had a round shape instead of the square that the bit leaves. Great tips!

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

Beautiful ❤

[@johndesormier8099]

Fantastic bowl and video. Thank you for the clarification regarding using the spindle gouge on a bowl. I have seen a couple videos using a spindle gouge on a bowl and was wondering why it was ok and safe

[@dondeere]

back in the summer i turned three american chestnut reclaimed from church hill downs stables construction. i am just relized how rare that is , what you thank

[@allanjgray1]

Thank's as always.

[@tricolorturners]

Wonderful! Thanks, RR

[@brucematthews6417]

With the colour and shape it sort of reminds me of a square cut piece out of a pumpkin. And while that might not sound nice I mean it in a nice way. The consistent thickness is the shell of the pumpkin and the flat bevels are the cuts made to get into the back of what would be a Jack'O Lantern. I love the play between the planar edges and the curves.

[@MadonnaThornton.Woodworks]

Very nice!

[@LewisKauffman]

Thank You!

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Very nice

[@pointer2null]

What rubber was that you used to clean the sanding disc?

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

I believe it's crepe rubber. You should be able to buy abrasive cleaning sticks anywhere they sell sanding belts and disks. I've seen a shoe sole used, but those that don't work further clog the belt. Guess how I discovered that...

[@davidsadler7258]

Very nicely done, sir. It is a pleasure to watch you turn. What species of wood is that?

[@geoffreynewton5839]

Looks like mAfrican Mahogany?

[@williamhector6863]

Thank you yet again, Richard, some good ideas May I ask please I didn’t quite hear what the stuff you used to clean off your sand paper Wass can you please tell me what it was? Many thanks, William

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

It's the tailend of a rubber cleaning stick. You should be able to buy abrasive cleaning sticks anywhere they sell sanding belts and disks. I've seen a shoe sole used, but those that don't work further clog the belt.

Thanks for another idea for a nice turning. Just how large is that set of jaws you used and is that a Vicmarc chuck? Thanks. Cheers, Tom

All my chucks are Vicmarc. These are 128mm Dovetail Jaws.

How do you get the rounded side along the length of the shear scraper (not the radius on the end)? Do they come that way or do you grind it?
