Woodturning - Paul Howard Fluting/Router Jig Pt 5b - Turning a Double Arc Lattice Platter, almost!

[@PHIL_S]

I have seen incredible lathe work many times - but your work pushes all boundaries and I love watching your work - you are always showing me something new - thanks for sharing this video!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you Phil, but in all honesty Im inspired by many great woodturners.

[@rroe5718]

You did a great job in what I call a "Design Opportunity" for the recovery of your flutes. These techniques certainly seperate the men from the boys and you are commended.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

I think your project is spectacular even with the little mishaps. It is a stunning platter. I loved it.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Kobie, I liked this too but I'm too aware of its faults!

[@richardchiswell6517]

William hi and what an interesting approach. I love the fact that you talk through the issues which is very helpful to someone like myself who is also working with Paul Howard's jig etc.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Richard Chiswell Glad you found it useful Richard. Look forward to exchanging ideas real soon.

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks for posting your experiments with the jig William. Really enjoyable and interesting. Great crackle!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Stewart Furini thanks Stewart, still,have great fun with this. I’ll get it right next time. You inspired the crackle glaze by the way!

[@El-Hess]

Oh no mate!!!! I am glad you put up the failures as well as your amazing successes. Helps us learn.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

I share everything as it is, hope other will not make the same mistake.

[@MikeWaldt]

Very interesting and informative video William. For what it's worth I think the "rescue" left you with a superbly unique, and beautiful piece. That crackle effect is quite amazing. Take care Mike

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Mike. Im going to do this again in a week or two when Ive found some more sycamore, run out! The crackle glaze effect credit to some guy called Furini, you may of heard of him ;)

[@johnpbh]

Yet again, it is great to see the issues as well as the successes. The fact you only had 6 iterations on the front isn't a failure. It's a feature. Anyone who hadn't watched this video wouldn't have known you meant to do more. PS: I realise that i am a bit late to the channel but I promise I will catch up.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks John!

[@rogerleslie4282]

Well done William nice glaze. Nice piece all round.Cheers mate Roger 🇦🇺......

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Roger, Ill make a better job next time!

[@paulburton7228]

Very informative William I learnt a lot, cheers

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Paul, I learned a lot too!

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

William Hunt - The Rescue King. Nice one buddy, thanks for all the information :-)

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Stephen's 8x6 Workshop Stephen, many thanks. When you have made as many mistakes as I have, you need to be good at recovering!

[@georgebrill3072]

Thank you. You did a great job explaining your process.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

George Brill thanks George, hopefully I’m improving on that skill!

[@irenedavo3768]

Never seen anything like this before! Amazing!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

The Fluting Jig is an amazing piece of equipment, its uses limited only by the users imagination.

[@barrycook4690]

for a fail i think it came out a fine , Its all a learning curve william, all the best

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Barry and you are correct of course!

[@punkylovell2875]

That came out awesome.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks! I do love this as well.

[@johnr8289]

Nice piece. It is a good save. Not all is lost.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

John Repan Thank you John. There’s nearly always a recovery .

[@poepiebuitendijk9169]

I like it!!!

[@29lookingood]

Great recovery. It might not have turned out as you expected but it's still Beautiful 💙

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Yes, retrospectively, I like this!

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

I like it, good save. You mentioned military service during the video. I was in the REME

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

I only saved it because of the excellent way the crackle glaze turned out. I was Ammunition Technical Officer (ATO). Fetch Felix....

[@irenedavo3768]

Its beautiful

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you Irene.

[@garrybrpwine3073]

Curious on the pivot joint ? Fixed to the bed ways ?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Garry Brpwine Garry, thanks for your question. Yes, in this case the swivel base was screwed directly to the improvised base on top,of the lathe. Before I didn’t do this and relied solely on screwing batons to restrict movement of router. I found this unsatisfactory so will employ both on future projects.

[@miguelsommariva9173]

I like it very much well than 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thanks Miquel, I liked this too.

Aloha William! I've been such a great fan of Nick Agar over the years and was blown away with his fluting on the larger pieces. Needless to say, your video's got me so excited about the jig that I contacted Paul about the purchase of his jig. He said he can't ship to the states (Hawaii) because someone with another patented fluting jig threatened to sue him. By the way, it doesn't come close to the Howard jig. Do you how I might get my hands on one? I might even be able to sweeten the deal with some Koa.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Please email me [e-mail]

[@dougguest6454]

I'm wondering if making half as many flutes would make them stronger and able to stay in one piece when fluting the other side. Nice video! I am now a subscriber!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

No doubt ir would, but aesthetically, not so pleasing for me at least.

[@josueanaya6234]

Where can I get the router jig?

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Hi Josue, you can get the router jig from here www.paulhowardwoodturner.co.uk/gallery/fluting-jig/

[@haraldnygaard3007]

Great videoes. Made me order a jig from Paul Howard. Can't wait to try it out in a systematic and creative way like you do. I do have a question but not about the jig. Do you order you logoinserts from somewhere? Or are the homemade? My pyrography skills are far from great and yourlogo inserts just look so professional

[@mmgross144]

Without knowing your planned end result, I wouldn't call that a failure at all! By the way, as someone who has used a crackle glaze professionally, that product applied over a smooth sealed surface will usually achieve a similar effect. The technique used in applying the base coats and in the crackle glaze will determine the crackle pattern.

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Hi Michael, thanks for your comments. Crackle glaze new to me but I love the effect, I'll do some more experimenting in due course.

[@irenedavo3768]

Just found you September 2018

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Thank you! Irene Im a poor sleeper and often find new thinks in the middle of the night too.

[@nhtrout1]

The video was interesting but the background "music" was awfully annoying!!

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

hahaha, yes Im not good with music selection..!
