Turning a Utility Platter with Australian Woodturner Kerry Corney.

[@rebekahjoystudio]

Dude you're so smooth, you remove material SO much faster than I have found myself able, I'm gonna gorge on your sharpening tips and other videos and see if i can get myself improved! The Kezza content is fantastic, never take it out 🤣

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much again for coming over and finding my content, Rebekah. I only want to document and pass on what I'm learning. Let me know if I can help you in any way. The ‘Kezza’ content is here to stay, I think 🤝 Cheers, Kez

[@johnnyb95678]

What a stunner! That turned out beautifully!!!

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks, Johnny. Hope the video showed enough detail. I need to look at getting a new camera that shoots 4k. Have a great weekend. Cheers, Kez

Kezza a great project and moreso very entertaining video mate! You lost me on the analogy with the construction leveler but I got it once you continued on the journey. Loving your videos and the chat, you’re a star bro. See you on the next one. Johnno

[@alansmith4975]

Great turning and entertaining as always. Cheers Kerry.

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you so much, Alan I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@jwrowland77]

Absolutely gorgeous wood and platter! Great job brother.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, mate. Cheers, Kez

[@MichaelBrown-ht9bk]

Great video 👍 I like the raised bead on the rim!

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much for leaving a comment, mate. Cheers, Kez.

[@danwahl8559]

Very well done sir, that is a very beautiful piece.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Dan. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Were there any particular moments you want to see in future videos 📼 Cheers, Kez.

[@turgworks4138]

Cracking video mate, had a few laughs there 😂

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, mate 🤝🫖

In America, we say "timber!" as a warning when we are felling a tree and it is about to fall. :D That Allen key trick with the chuck is awesome! Thank you for that. Manufacturers should add rubber tips to the ends of calipers.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks for the heads up, Nick. That's a great idea if they came up with the rubber tips. Cheers for leaving a comment and feedback🤝 Kezza

[@qapla]

@@KerryCorney You could dip the tips of the calipers in "Plasti-Dip" if it is available down under.

[@KerryCorney]

@@qapla I have never thought of doing something like that. I will have to check it out. Thanks, mate. Kez

[@kenkaufman4736]

Great platter. Thanks.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Ken. Did you like the front and over shoulder camera angles?

[@sethnerowski85]

I see you love vicmarc tools and also utilize the screw chuck, I highly recommend the vicmar 3 in 1 screw chuck

[@KerryCorney]

@@sethnerowski85 can't beat Australian made🤝 Thanks for the suggestion, Seth. Have a great weekend. Cheers, Kez

[@qapla]

Another nice video, Kezza! I really appreciate the real time turning and don't mind the speeded-up sanding. That really is a spectacular looking platter. Such detailed grain. That bead is a nice touch. I tend to clean those up shape them with my small skew. Just curious, how flat is the inside bottom of that platter?

[@KerryCorney]

@@qapla thanks so much, mate. Yeh, I figured everyone has seen sanding before and not really interested in it. The platter is flat. If anything ever so slightly raised towards the centre. Hope you have a great weekend, mate. Kezza

[@matthewglidden8842]

Beautiful

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Matthew. Appreciate it, mate. Have a great weekend. Kezza

[@chrisjohnston2449]

I love the math lesson. I also like the idea of wet/dry paper to apply the finish. Beautiful platter. I wonder how long it would take to have a piece of Beech to you?

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Chris. Really appreciate it, mate. Send me an email via my website. I'm excited, mate. Cheers, Kez

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Camphor can be absolutely stunning like this piece or very dirty grey and uninspiring. Great instructional video Kez. Why don’t you use coffee grounds to fill up cracks and blemishes. Looks great and cheap as. A little ca to set grounds hard. I could manage a piece of hardwood that size. Are you after anyone to send you some or only those that have already asked. Thanks for sharing

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Greg. I totally agree. Some pieces of Camphor have been, well, a little disappointing. I made a video on using coffee grounds and still use them for sure 👌 looks nice and natural. For sure, mate. Send me an email through the contact form on my website👌 Cheers, mate. Kezza

[@nevilleklaricich4548]

Hi Kezza. Love the camphor laurel - really spectacular grain. I get a lot of tips from watching you turn. You obviously know which gouge will perform the task you need as you swap from one to another. Lots of practice and observational skills on your part. On the subject of the camphor laurel, I picked some up from a roadside woodworking place in central NSW. It must have come from deep in the heartwood of a really old tree. I haven’t seen figuring and chatoyance on anything like it since. The guy told me that that is caused by the colder weather and he tries to source his wood from as far south as he can. Have you ever come across this from your experience? Cheers mate.

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks so much, Neville. I always try to include different tools and substitutes for those who may not have what I do, and vice versa. It keeps me on my toes too 😎. I’ve heard similar things about Camphor being sourced more inland due to it being drier and stressing the grain more. I’m not sure if this is true or just an old wives’ tale, but it sounded like a good yarn. Let me know if I can film anything for you in future videos. Cheers, mate, and have a great weekend. Kezza

[@joegass2025]

Kerry Okease tell me about your hood/dust mask. Thanks, Joe from California

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks for watching,Joe. I've made a full video on the mask. I will leave the link here. Woodturners' best line of Defence AGAINST dust and DEBRIS! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmrZpneqoNuChq8 Cheers, mate. Kez
