Ginormous Platter-Part 1

[@anthonycima7]

Really appreciate how much he focuses on the safety aspects on a turn this large. Doing something safe is quick, surgery isnt.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Love the massive projects like this because they are rare.

[@bethanylintner3322]

I am just getting into turning and can not express the appreciation that I have for your attention to detail please don’t stop the beautiful work or the teaching thank you so much

[@markmayfield2228]

I learn so much from simply watching you, Tim. Now I know what I was doing wrong with my first project, a bud vase. I was getting a lot of tear out in my grain. I was doing pull cuts. Now I know that I should've been using push cuts the whole time. I eventually got it smoothed out, but it took a lot of unnecessary work. I just wish that I had a place of my own to set up a shop so I could practice. Someday.

[@gschnaper]

Holy Cow! That's a big platter! Excellent job explaining the ins and outs... Thanks!

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

That is quite the piece!!! Up until I started watching your show the powermatic was my big expensive dream lathe.. I didn't think there was a lathe out there that doubled it's price and functionality! oi! No wonder they call it the American Beauty.

[@johnclucaswoodturner205]

Good job Tim. I tip. If you lower the handle a great deal you pull cut will not only be safer but will leave a finish as good as a push cut. The reason it's safer is the wing becomes a very long bevel and it's almost impossible to get a catch. The lower angle also allows the wood to cross the wing at a more shear angle. With the grind you have on that tool the wing appears to be more acute than the tip. so that acute angle along with the more shear cutting angle will give you an extremely good cut.

[@vickibonness1795]

You are such a cheerful guy. Nice

[@racquel13]

I appreciate how detailed you are with helpful info.

[@dtork47]

Tom, always very informative. Thanks, love that lathe!

[@robbrown6667]

I finished a similar sized piece of mahogany and it blew up on me on the very last sheer cut. I saved the piece by adding in a beautiful peice of quilted maple and a little texturing in the center with just a hint of gold gilders paste on the texture.. Stunning piece and the first platter this size for me.

[@stewartfurini]

Love this Tim. Great tips and so clear and engaging as always. Cheers!

[@johnahern5466]

Hi Tim Outstanding as always, greeting from Ireland

[@larrylucas6663]

Tim, great work as usual! Here is an idea for a future video that would help new Turners, show how to sharpen the tools properly.

[@mapaskis]

Hi Tim, I've had problems with face plates shifting that I solved using Rockler's Insty-Drive self centering bits to start a small pilot hole for each screw.. I do it for each screw so none of them are off center from face plate holes. For removing broken screws I've used their plug cutter in my drill press, using a hand drill with them can be a little exciting. They also have a screw extractor which is basically a hollow drill. Platter looks great.

[@BradPow]

I remember you on PBS ! It's good to rediscover you!

[@jeremyedwards5950]

Tim, That is absolutely stunning. I can't wait until part 2 comes out. ✌️, Jeremy

[@GeraldJensen]

I think you just solved a puzzle for me ... a year or so back, I got a chunk of wood (12" x 12" x 3") in one of those assorted boxes from Cook Woods that I couldn't identify. It looks exactly like your teak!

[@laceyhansen1815]

I can’t find part 2 of this video. Where can I buy the marketry kit you showed. Love your videos, thanks for sharing

[@marknienstadt6963]

That would make an excellent pedestal table top.

[@davidwermuth80]

Thanks for sharing with us.

[@dennisroy3599]

Did you mean to start out making a longworth chuck? It really did turn out to be a nice platter in the end much better use of the beautiful mahogany.

[@fbo52]

Nice Job Have you seen their new wood display on 41st street

[@joefaraone977]

Love your pocketful of sawdust!

[@ronh9384]

Excellent platter Tim and the video was good too. 😊. Do you have any video of the banjo on the other side of the platter near the headstock? I’m a novice turner and would have liked to see a little footage of that setup as I didn’t know you could do that. I’ve never seen a video showing it setup that way.before. Thanks for all the great content you guys put up. Ron

[@danielcheck6449]

I’ve been a big fan for years. Is there a reason why you didn’t use the tail stock for added support. I always use it if I’m turning something that makes me nervous.

[@josephcoonrod4663]

Newb question. All the same info would apply to something half the diameter? Also, great stuff! Loves your videos.

[@catzual]

thats y i watch you! one day... i will have a lathe and then make stuff... but until then...

[@dakel20]

Holy crap that thing is huge... Part 2 when? :D

[@huntingfever88]

Where do you buy your turning blocks? I was admiring the collection on your shelves. Great video as always!

[@robswoodworking4380]

hi there Tim i am from Australia and enjoy your project videos and for a large platter like this how would price it to sell as i sell my projects at the local community flea market here in Bundaberg Qld AU.

[@garcj108]

Can I buy your offcuts of that teak?

[@irenedavo3768]

Wow

[@chrislehr07]

My wife keeps asking for a "sleeping bowl" Not sure Robust can support that big!

[@garythomas9176]

Nice vape on the top of the lathe that where I keep mine😂

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

That wood is not Teak, it's Meranti, Oroko, Mahogany family! Teak is lighter, Waxy and Oily.

[@RowdyBlueTarHeeler]

Sapele. plus, he ought to protect from the dust.

[@MrLuxNsk]

Make platter flat again!

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Tim you really are barking mad!

[@charlesdeens8927]

Fantastic video as per usual. Gotta say, it was pretty stressful watching that large piece of wood spin that fast.

[@irenedavo3768]

Looks like African Warriors Shield

[@guitarpunk200]

Where is part 2?

[@monsternovideo2659]

beautiful platter but you should have saved it for thanksgiving and called it the gobbler.

[@adriana8538]

Schöne arbeit aber du redest so viel in dem video das es sehr langweilig ist zuzuschauen es dauert viel zu lange

[@andrewaustin6941]

"overkill is good!" "'MERICA"!!!
