- This crossgrain green-turned pot is 90mm long, 75mm wide, 75mm high. You see to how I cut undercut rim cleanly using a standard gouge, hollow using standard scrapers, cut beads with a spindle gouge, and reverse chuck to remove the foot. See the blank cut in: • Richard Raffan convert...
Another great tutorial. I have a little go at making what you teach after watching your channel. Yesterday I watched a suction box video and promptly made three which actually came out well. Yourself and Tomislav are my most watched channels and for very good reason. Thank you.🙏
I'd add Mike Holton to your watch list. Different presentation style from Tomislav, but still informative
Thank you for yet another incredibly great video. Aggressively using a spindle gouge to rough out more than more would do, but then pausing to comment on the possibility of a catch. Truly great.
Hello Richard. Once again the Master shows us how it can work. I would never have attempted to smooth the square cube with a spindle gauge in my life. It would also have gone against every technique I had learned. A 12mm bowl gauge would have been the tool of choice for me. So you show us that there are once again many paths that can lead to your goal. However, it doesn't exactly reduce my confusion when choosing a tool, especially since I don't like working with the spindle gauge. It's very unforgiving of errors in posture and punishes harshly with deep scratches. I still need a lot of practice. Thanks again for a very educational video, take care of yourself and stay healthy. Many greetings from northern Germany, Schorschi
I love these green-turned pieces of yours! They have so much character and charm after they've warped and distorted with drying.
That elm is really a beautiful piece of wood. The warping really gave the piece some unique character.
Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am still learning something every time I watch you. And, another beautiful little pot.
Simple yet elegant pot, tower box, crossgrain tube, Citadel box, scoop, spillikens...I just can't decide which one I love the best. It's usually the last one I watched. Thank you my friend. Keep popping out those videos.
Thanks Richard. Always a pleasure to watch and to learn.
Always a wealth of information Richard...I learn a few tips from every single video you put up. Thanks so much for investing your time in sharing your craft.
You make it look so easy Richard....... which is usually a sign of a masterful hand 😁
Nice petite turning. That it was turned green wood and "warped" as it dried added a subtle "organic" random elegance is beautiful.
Excellent video as always Richard DN
Lovely color and texture in the piece. Appreciate your videos, thanks.
Neat lesson on the movement of green wood as it dries Richard.
Thanks Richard ... well said on the vacuum chucks and such lol lifes too short !
Another helpful video on a appealing project. I look forward to your postings. You haver taught me so much.
It is truly amazing how you hollow out this form. Very inspiring. Thanks so much for these videos!!
I really liked the look after it warped, The look is nice and unusual I think I will try it myself and see how I get on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.
Nice one Richard. Efficient and beautiful as always.
Such a nice piece! Best wishes from Germany
Simply beautiful!😮
Another superb and inspiring demonstration. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you !
Great project! Indeed, life is too short to be messing with a longworth chuck! Truth.
It's always a pleasure yo watch and learn. Jim Conley
As Always an inspiration to new turners.
Richard, this is classic
great videos,thanks you for sharing
Bonjour Richard . J'aime beaucoup votre vidéo, ça donne envie de se mettre à l'ouvrage et le pot est charmant.Super.👍
Good afternoon What bevel angle do you use on a round nose scraper?
vous attaquez sévère avec la gouge à creusé .belle pièce
Im surprised you went in with a square tool to dig out a round inner surface! Must leave a pretty rough inner wall!! I like how you do dubious methods, yet end up with pristeen effects! What is the reason you do not use a compressed air hose to clear out the chips?
These are not dubiious methods, but old school which I've taught for around 50 years. They are detailed in my Turning Wood book and video in 1985 that helped tens of thousands learn how to turn. A square-end scraper is the fastest way I know of hogging out the waste inside an enclosed form. Of course the initial cuts leave a rough inner wall, but that's soon cut cleanly cut using gouges and other scrapers. I could never justify owning a compressor and now I don't have room for one. I never made these pots in quantity.
Awesome video Richard. Much appreciated.
Am i on the wrong path, trying to learn woodturning with dry woods? I’ve successfully made a few pieces, but its hard to get nice cuts, and always requires alot of sanding. VERY hard on the tooling also.
Not the wrong path and not necessarily a more challenging path. Green wood is usually easier and more enjoyable to turn than dry. I like timber about three months felled when the wood is no longer soaking wet. I've mostly turned air-dried timber and never enjoyed turning kiln-dried timber. The latter is often harder and dustier with endgrain more difficult to cut cleanly. Green wood is more difficult to sand.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thanks, i appreciate your response. I might try turning some green wood, as like you said, im not really enjoying the process as much with dry wood.
@@ArchEdge Other advantages of turning green wood is that you get more defect-free material and it's often much less expensive.
I’ve always been told to never use a spindle gouge on cross grain orientation. You seem to have no trouble. What am I not understanding?
It's deep-fluted spindle roughing gouges that should never be used on crossgrain. There are a lot of turners taught by other turners who seem not to understand the fundamentals of turning wood and this is how misconceptions spread. This shows a range of gouges that can be used for turning bowls: ua-cam.com/video/9BH41jx05KI/v-deo.html. Here a bowl is turned using a spinde gouge: ua-cam.com/video/sYHBrUxpo7M/v-deo.html
Excellent, thanks
Hi Richard what sort of moisture content is the blank mate
It was late summer and growing two day earlier.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning oh so quite wet then, it didn’t seem wet like when ive turned green wood and i get soaked
@@hoggyhogwood Sorry! I got the wrong log. This was felled about two months previously, so not dripping wet. You see the blank being cut in ua-cam.com/video/4Qj0tKIRGGE/v-deo.html
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thanks mate, I’ve just cut some sycamore around this size, will give this a go in a couple of months see how i get on👊
What sand paper do you use? Thanks
The Colour Coded Grit www.veneerinlay.com.au/product/mixed-6-pack-1-of-each-grit-2m-x-300mm/ is an Australian product stocked widely in Australia and by Craft Supplies USA but I don’t know who else.
That piece screams "*IMPULSE BUY*"! The more it warps ... the better! Extremely salable (conversation center piece) but I wouldn't accept less than $100.00.
