Thank you Tomislav. Finally a turner that didn’t edit out the “boring sanding part”. Good and important info. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, well in this case its video on sanding so cut it out would not make sense😄

[@jamesbrunk9817]

I typically refuse to watch hour long videos, but this one was worthwhile. Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, Really appriciate that

[@davidanderson5767]

You just closed a big knowledge gap for me. I can see it already: all my savings goes to Klingspor. If a public company I will buy stock before making a big purchase.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😄great,love to hear that

[@user-ew3nn2ri1m]

Lots of good informations on sanding combined within one single video is really great. Thank you very much

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for feedback, I really appriciate that.

[@garytompkins3761]

Audio OK for me. Excellent video also, thanks Tomislav

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@tonyturnswood]

That tip on sanding the foot detail is great! I can see how I have been too aggressive when using the drill around the foot! I will be implementing more hand sanding on my bowl projects for sure!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad I could help out, thank you for watching

[@alun7006]

Comprehensive! Thanks Tomislav - very helpful.

[@briandoyle4737]

Thank you again Tomislav, my work has so improved from your videos. I have a very similar setup with the dust extraction except I use a glass top which allows a lot more light onto the piece as you sand. keep them coming!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hmm that is great idea Brian with the lid. I might steel that.😄 Glad to help out and honored that my videos help out. Thank you very much for watching

[@stevenhansen8641]

🕶very helpful Tomislav. Thank you for sharing.

[@timmurden5846]

I had an old tube of silicon sealer which had set solid ,it made a great sanding disc cleaner after I'd got it out of the tube 😉

[@Joe-wi1yj]

Great information, thank you very much

[@markduggan3451]

Great information.

[@user-mc8xn6vf2p]

Great video as always!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@borisfurlan9792]

Thank you for another thorough tutorial and explanation of how and why going the right way. Could you at some point make the same kind of video specifically about green wood? When the bowl begin to warp, sanding is tricky and even more when passed through the microwave. Thank you again! Cheers!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Boris, I'll do video on that as well. Thank you for watching

[@randyrockwell6136]

Great tips Tomislov! I have been using Kingsport products for years, might pay a little more, but the quality and choices are unbeatable in my opinion. Thank you for explaining your dust collection box …… simple but efficient 🤠🇨🇱

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Randy...😄

[@davemoffat8047]

Thanks Tomislav, picked up some ideas and hints there. Sanding is still my least liked chore. I've been turning some African Blackwood and Pink Ivory walking stick handles recently, sanding down to a 600 grit which leaves a sleek finish to the touch.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Those are some nice woods,hard to get them here.

[@davemoffat8047]

They aren't woods I use much, it just depends on what they have in stock when I hunt round my preferred timber merchants but I do like to try different woods and see how they are to work with. Purpleheart and Kingwood are nice woods to turn as well. Blackwood and Pink Ivory are tricky as they are hard and an be a bit brittle.

[@HarmonicGrunt]

Thank you Sir. 👍🏻

[@billstoffle7383]

Great video i learned a lot about sanding i didn’t know thanks

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to help out ☺️ thank you very much for watching

[@BobBlarneystone]

I forgot to mention that scotchbrite pads are excellent for use as backing pads for hook & loop abrasive discs or for paper/cloth sheets for handheld sanding. The pads hold the abrasive without slipping, and can conform to curved surfaces, and give your fingers a cushion without losing the feeling of the abrasive cutting.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Great tip sir....☺️

[@paular6759]

I want to try the Klingspor sanding stars and mops, but I've got decision paralysis. They have some great demo videos on YT, but I'd love to see some comparisons of the different types of grit in action on real hardwood projects.

[@BobBlarneystone]

For medium-soft foam pads, I cut up a gardener's kneeling pad. For a firmer pad, I use polyurethane cut from foam that is used for cosplay costumes. i use self-stick velcro hook material, and cu out a small crescent 'bite' on the edge to make a thumbnail grip to remove the abrasive - sort of like on a folding knife. I also make balls of scotchbrite-type abrasives, cut from discs and mounted as stacks on a drill mandrel.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks for suggestion and feedback. i really appriciate that,I might make soon some of the pads for myself. Should be fun

[@robertreihsen9096]

Thanks for this valuable info sir. I'm still not sure when you opt for the power drill vs the inertial sander. Thanks again.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I use inercia sander to remove sanding marks and drill for inside and on really stubborn grain.

[@fern6114]

Hi, i could not found in the description the makita…? Cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 europe your english is very good

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi Its Makita angle drill DA3011F Thank you,I try my best 😀

[@michaelglackin2420]

Hello like watching your video's .Nice woodturning. Can i ask you what make is your lathe. Thanks Michael

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much,its Killinger 1450se model, Used to be made in Germany,now I think most is made in Taiwan to there specs....

[@user-qk2hw9zj1s]

Привет, Томислав! Великолепное видео! Впервые я вижу видео на подобную тему такое подробное, развёрнутое, со всеми мелочами и деталями. Спасибо! Не смотря на то, что я занимаюсь (на любительском уровне) токарными работами уже три года, кое что из твоего видео я для себя открыл новое. Вещь, похожая на Франкенштейна (4:25 мин) у меня тоже есть. Только я на неё наклеил мягкую пластиковую прослойку (3-4 мм.). По-моему, так это работает лучше. Попробуй, может понравиться? При шлифовке миски и почти в конце видео ты уделил немного времени скоростному режиму шлифовки. Это хорошо. Но у меня появилась мысль, что если бы ты снял видео, посвящённое скоростному режиму при точении дерева, это было бы интересно многим. Тема особенно не освещалась ни кем, всегда только упоминается о текущей скрости при работе. Спасибо и удачи тебе! Скоро у тебя уже будет первые 50 тысяч подписчиков! Желаю, чтобы к концу года прибавилось ещё столько же. Константин.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Konstantin, really appriciate that

[@jorisdemoel3821]

Very informative. I might finally progress to sanding now... Is there a surface feeling (or look) that you can describe when you decide which grit sandpaper to begin with? Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Usually if you see surface without tearout and smooth surface then usually I start with 180. But sometimes once you hit wood with abrasive you will accually see what kind of surface you have

[@peg4692]

Hi Tomislav great video. I have a question. Why do you fold the paper the opposite way to Richard? Is there a reason? Or is it because of the brand of paper?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi On paper back paper it really doesn't matter, but on clothback I fold through width, on Richard paper is with numbers and on my is across .... You want to fold so it stays folded.... otherwise can unwrap

[@peg4692]

Thank you for explaining.

[@artlee7415]

Thanks for this video it explains so much. One question, what is your opinion on Norton paperback sandpaper. Maybe it's been part of my problem because you did not mention it as a top brand. Thanks again I always learn something watching your videos.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Norton is another great sandpaper company, I think they are more expensive then Klingspor or even 3m but they should work ok, if you find that you don't have results you want then try another premium brand. But Norton should be ok. I did test at one point,I forgot the name of the product but its in diffent color grits on velcro, I wasn't very happy with that type of paper for woodturning.

[@DancingFox6]

I’ve been unhappy with my finishes. I see now a lot of corrections I can make in my sanding which should make a big difference.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to help out

[@WhoGnu08]

how frequently is the grit printed on the back of the cloth-backed rolls? I stopped using Klingspor many years ago because the grit number only appeared around every 18". That necessitated my writing the grit number on the smaller pieces, a time-consuming pain. If it has changed for the better, I will try their products again.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Good question, Not sure, I'll have to check in the morning, but that can be an issue,but If I do have left over pieces I usually put them back in cubbies where belonged. Color coded are great but I think Klingspor don't offer that yet.

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

Stuart Batty says, Use sandpaper like someone else is paying for it.

[@MarklTucson]

This is a rather mundane subject but getting it right is critically important to getting good looking pieces off the lathe. Appreciate the detail and effort that you put into this video; it was very helpful and pointed out some areas where I need to make changes to improve my results. One question, it is often recommended that sanding be done forward, reverse, and then along the longitudinal axis to get rid of the circular marks -- do you find that redundant if you do use the sanding pads and inertia sander or drill?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi Mark That is good practice to do to go forward and reverse, and I do it a lot, but when using rotary sanders I don't stop the lathe to sand.... Don't see much need for that.

[@greggerstner5599]

A good reason to change direction with progressive grits is more to help identify the older scratches. Changing direction makes the new scratches at a different angle when power sanding. When those older scratches disappear, change grits and direction and carry on. Of course, what you really need is to get a tool finish as we are instructed by Tomislav Tomasic, using the Tomasic Refiner when it hits the shelves. Then sanding is an afterthought. Another excellent video. As we've come to expect. All the yt wannabes and me-toos and copycats should be required to watch Tomasic videos before they are allowed to upload another miserable waste of time.

[@dennisoliver6421]

Where do you get the stamp to cut your sandpaper , or did you make your own?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I've made it from hole saw, but glenn Lucas sells already made , and works great

[@davidanderson5767]

Can you get Klingspor to make the pad you like?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Not sure, we shall see😀

[@turningwiththewoods]

Have you tried the 3m cubitron paper? One more question - your speed seems much higher than other videos recommend. It seems that there are two schools of thought. Have your experimented at speeds like 300-400? Reason why you sand at these higher speeds? Thx

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I've mention and show it in video, somewhere before demo. I did get is to try, its one of the best paper ever made but not for turning... Atleast not in my opinion.... Works great on orbit sander but the lathe is ruthless 😀

[@turningwiththewoods]

Okay - i personally haven’t tried it out - just using standard paper i got from woodturnerswonders. But i sand at 300-400. Do you sand at a higher speed cause you feel you get better results? Or just faster and being a production turner time is money?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

@@turningwiththewoods both accually,but also if I know that I'll have to sand more due to poor grain ,then I'll drop the speed for sure.... So there is not much heat involved.

[@philipselman2564]

Say there Tomislav ran into making sanding mandrel for cheep-on KZbin by Brian proctor - not a bad idea

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I saw it, not much time to make my own but I might have to 😄

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

Your sanding discs are slightly larger than the pads. How do you do that? Do you make your own discs?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Nope, the pads are worn out but they were a bit smaller to begin with. Usually they are excact 75mm but these were around 72mm

[@boooshes]

I trim some of my sanding arbors/pads down to non-standard sizes and sometimes trim backing/interface pads also to get the sizes I want. You can also stack interface pads to get a softer system.

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

@@boooshes Thank you for that. Easier to trim backing pads that to cut my own oversized discs.

[@changefortanzania]

No audio on mine.. Anyone else?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Have you got the audio now? I have checked mobile and laptop video, works ok

[@CoDownCraft]

​@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning all good, sometimes the audio isn't there of somebody INSTANTLY clicks the video as soon as you upload it. My man here was pretty excited about this video haha

[@changefortanzania]

I got the audio. Thanks for helping and for making the video
