- This is a great project for turners wanting to start making hollow forms. This Richard Raffan style pot does not require any special hollowing tools.

Like the walk through. Good to hear explanations on why you are cutting a certain way , with grain or against.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, Mike!
A lovely little pot. Nice finish on it. A very clearly explained walk-through. Thanks for another fine video
Many thanks!
Glad to know that you use Record Power tools, my lathe is a Coronet Herald and I have four SC4 chucks with assorted jaws. I started turning about two years ago, you have confirmed I made a good choice of equipment.
Right on!
That is a really nice piece Mike. I like the finish. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Cool looking piece Mike. Enjoyed seeing your design process and the hollowing process.
Thanks, Mark 👍
Nice Pot. Agree with Cudamank. Great explanation about grain orientation and the direction of cut.
Glad it helped!
Very enjoyable to watch.
Glad you think so!
I must say, this is one of my favorite pieces you've made. I've watched a lot (and I do mean a lot) of your videos and I really liked this one. I enjoyed your presentation, execution and design. Thanks a lot Mike.
Thanks so much, Ken. I did this in preparation for a hands on workshop at my club in a couple of weeks.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I wish I could be there. Will it be recorded?
Very nice, the grain in the wood before you add the paint is interesting.
Thank you very much! I am learning to appreciate oak more and more. We do have a lot of red oak around here.
Great piece Mike. I think you would have an easier time turning the beads if you positioned the tool rest parallel to that portion of the vessel, and then cutting in at a right angle to the surface.
I had to go back and reqatch. You are absolutely right. I was not thinking.
Very nice, Mike! Thanks for the tip of using a magnet to set the hollowing depth. I've been using a Sharpie or a pencil. Neither are as easy to see as a magnet; nor are the marks as easy to remove!
A couple of questions: I've not had oak be so stringy. Was that because the oak was freshly cut? Most (all?) of the oak I've worked with has been kiln dried and machines cleanly.
Second, what do you think of those Carter and Son tool handles? They've never felt 'right' in my hands when I've handled them at a symposium. But, I've not ever used one. I'm not slamming the tools. 'Feel' is even more subjective and personal than is beauty. I have a number of metal handles in my collection of lathe tools. My favorite are the Thompson handles. I particularly like that their non-round shape helps prevent them from rolling off of whatever horizontal surface I happen to lay them on. (I really need to be better about putting my tools back where they belong! Still looking for my 1/4" skew. I know I left it somewhere in my shop. My wife unhelpfully suggests I'll find it behind my seat in the truck.) While I have and use metal handles, I prefer my wooden handles. I just like the feel of wood better. Besides, if I don't like the shape, it's nobody's fault but my own.
Yes, green oak can be a bit stringy but far more pleasant to turn than dried. Frankly, I prefer a wooden handle. Have not made new handles yet for several recently acquired Carter tools. I do like the Carter tools. Polished better than Thompson tools.
Thanks for the video! I have a question about scrapers. How does a shear scraper differ from a regular one? Thanks in advance.
I believe this video may answer your questions ua-cam.com/video/77Yyd7PGMCA/v-deo.html
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Ok,thanks! So it's not a different tool, but a regular scraper used in a shear scraping mode?
Nicely done! What is the patina paint that you used there?
It is called a metal reactive finish. This is Copper. The manufacturer of mine is no longer in business. One brand is Modern Masters.
Mike, what brand of jaws did you use when you reversed this project. Record Power or Nova, or ? Thanks
All of my jaws are Record Power
