I am especially impressed with how you resolved the forgotten nib on the foot and removed that MDF pad to finish the bottom. I really laughed when you were holding the bowl on the spinning lathe with only your finger! I wondered how you were going to shape the transition from the foot to the side and I really like the ogee-like shape that was the result; much better than a simple straight line. Now, talk about thin... When you were reminded how thin you had made the bowl by the sound of the wood, I really locked that TIP in my memory for my own use. Very helpful, educational and a beautiful bowl. Thank you for sharing this video.
This is a beautiful bowl and I can only aspire to being able to do one like it. Wonderful flowing line, very thin and elegant and exquisite detail on the foot. I learn something every time i watch one of Richard's videos.
Very nice. "Sounds a bit thin", I had one of those moments yesterday turning a small square edge bowl, only when I stopped to look I could see daylight through the wall. I hadn't gone through, but I could see pin holes, oh well, still practise.
Much more macho than I would ever dare! That waxy sock looks like it is about to be replaced with a less waxy one. Many thanks for another instructive video.
I liked the end when you wiggled the camera to make it look like you were struggling. I'm onto your tricks, Richard Raffan! Nice video. Thank-you very much.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning I hope everyone understands how much work it is for you to put out a video. Thanks so much. They are appreciated! Actually, that would make a good video..."What it takes to make a turning video"
I know this is a for sale item and you expect it to be used, but if I were to purchase this piece it would be for decoration only. It appears so delicate. The shape is very elegant. And a very soft finish. Very, very good. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Richard, the faux center was clever! 👍 I must admit I can't recall if I've ever done that when I found myself in the same predicament. The drama that ensued when the center slipped made me really appreciate the foot brake on my old lathe. Wakodahatchee Chris
The way you mount the bowl on the inside is a fantastic solution to what I struggled with, so thanks for that. I was wondering if you came up with that on your own or was it something you saw another turner do?
I don't find much benefit going beyond 220 grit on anything other than a few hardwoods like gidgee or African Blackwood. I want my work to be used and if it's too shiny people are reluctant to use it in case they spoil the finish.
Richard which set of jaws do you use here, and which vicmarc chuck? The vm100 or vm120? I really appreciate the sharing of your knowledge like this. Best - flowe
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning I must admit, my respect for you continues to grow. I was hopeful for a response, but am impressed that I got one. I don’t have the comfort you show in each video with the spindle gouge. I’d not turned since 1975 using a flootless bowl gouge as my weapon back then. I came into playing using the four sided carbides, but after too many videos from various people I went on to try to learn how to use a 5/8inch bowl gouge. I need to spend more time using the spindle gouge. I just would like to say that you are much appreciated, and your response to another post regarding cracking and drying ended up selling another bowl turning book you wrote. Kind Regards - flowe
Hi Richard Beautiful bowl,great to watch your technique and finish. Thank you for sharing your knowledge,I’ve been turning since the late eighties,but now thanks to your videos have learnt so much ,one example is the use of the half inch spindle gouge to rough down the outside of a bowl it’s hard to believe how much faster and smoother it is to what I used to do.i ticked over 81 this year but still turn a bowl or at least something every afternoon the lathe is my happy place in this crazy world we have now. Thank you for keeping us all grounded Regards

Nice job young man, you’re getting good 😜 Since you’re wearing shorts, how do you keep the shavings from getting all over your sacks and in your shoes?
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Is a pleasure to watch the years of experience and yet the excitement of a new turner. They say you start to get old the second you stop playing, and you're living proof Sr. 👋
I've no idea of the exact moisture level, but as you learn at the outset it'd been roughed about 10 mnths earlier. Claret ash is a fairly stable timber and roughed bowls typically stabalise within a year although longer seasoning is usually preferred. The moisture was probably around 12%, maybe a bit lower.
Richard: you seem to be finishing your pieces these days with only beeswax, and not boiled linseed oil and beeswax. I’m wondering why. Maybe you can’t get your hands on any boiled linseed oil from down under as it’s made from linseed flax, which is grown in Canada and in northern part of the US. Could it be a sock issue?
Wow. True master at work. Thank you, Richard for teaching us so much.

Only a master can turn a piece of wood into an elegy bowl that rival the delicacy of a piece of bone China! Great job!

We all live to learn, especially when it's turning timber. Richard Raffan, to me, is a generous teacher of how to do it properly.
Now that's more my thing, nice job. I like getting my work light and thin.😊
I love watching a master turner at work. I get to glean so much knowledge from your videos. Thank you much. It is appreciated.
Master class.
Beautiful. Thank you again Richard.
Much more macho than I would ever dare! That waxy sock looks like it is about to be replaced with a less waxy one. Many thanks for another instructive video.
First thanks for making your videos I love watching them.
He is good, isn't he!🙂🙂
@@glencrandall7051 Yes he is
Definitely a Master, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ❤
Thank you so much. You have taken my turning to an entirely new level. Great videos with so many tricks..
Thank you so much Mr Raffan for all of your videos and books. I have 3 plus your "The New Turning Wood" video from Taunton Press.
What a stunning thin bowl. Thanks for showing us that Richard.
Beautiful bowl. Simple lines and elegant design. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights in turning.
So elegant, so pure form. Lucy Rie style I would say. You make me realize how much I miss the lathe work! 😢
I liked the end when you wiggled the camera to make it look like you were struggling. I'm onto your tricks, Richard Raffan!
Nice video. Thank-you very much.
If the camera moves, Ken, I am interacting with it and am struggling - and usually can't see what I'm doing so you can.

Thanks Richard that's a keeper really nice finish.
In my case a seller. The good ones sell for more.
Beautiful!
Very nice, a beautiful bowl, so very thin.
Beautifully done.
Lost for words, you’re such a perfectionist
Beautiful bowl Richard.
You make it look so easy!
It is always a pleasure to watch your turning techniques and designs. Really like the shape of this bowl and the thin wall is really something.
Fantastic!
Masterclass
Wow and thank you!
Хорошая работа, подписан на Вас, стараюсь учиться по Вашим роликам
❤ Beautiful ❤
The way you mount the bowl on the inside is a fantastic solution to what I struggled with, so thanks for that. I was wondering if you came up with that on your own or was it something you saw another turner do?
I probably developed it myself, there being very few turners around in the 1970s, but really cannot remember.
Great video, do you find much benefit going past 220 grit on a wood like ash? Thanks for the lessons.
I don't find much benefit going beyond 220 grit on anything other than a few hardwoods like gidgee or African Blackwood. I want my work to be used and if it's too shiny people are reluctant to use it in case they spoil the finish.

What kind of vacum shop system do you have, I may have missed an earlier video?
I don't have a vacuum system. That's why I chuck bowls between centres and use jam chucks.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning ,, sorry should of ask differently, I meet shop clean up vacum for dust etc?
@@user-gn5uv1mg3k My apologies. The dust collector is in ua-cam.com/video/twuFE1-6qB0/v-deo.html
