Richard Raffan turns a garlic container for the 19th. 4-Ways project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Just when I thought the container was finished, I realized I'd forgotten an essential element of the design - you see that sorted out in the last five minutes. Before that you see solutions to common chucking problems and on several occasions can listen to the difference between a sharp and less-than-sharp tool. Here are links to the other 4-Ways videos:
Tomislav - • Vampire Woodturning Pr...
Sam - • Turn a Garlic Keeper: ...
Mike - • Turning a Garlic Keepe...
4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on UA-cam at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.
Thanks for sharing Richard.
Take care
Cheers

i never realised i was missing a garlic container in my life, now off to the project board
Brilliant take on the project Richard. I now realise that I need a garlic storage pot for my kitchen
Me too!
Humming bird condominium … nice job as always. I have the same thing about lids, to much wood waste vs insert knob
Thanks for focusing a little bit on your technique for cutting that bead in the center of the knob. It's an elegant touch.
I quite like the shape of this container, very clean lines and looks great with the wood. That bit of advice at the beginning about turning requiring a light touch is very helpful. Appreciate seeing how you respond to issues such as the scratches and also having to add the holes to the lid. I really like the integral knob. Yours is the second of the four I've watched, now off to watch the remaining two.
A Beautiful garlic box , I never new it was a thing .
Great job Richard, I have used that cloth trick a few times,works like a charm. Thank you
America: Mr. Raffan, Great job 😁🌟👌
Watching you turn is a pleasure, seeing you deal with problems is magnificent. A beautiful object made from very fine timber. Thanks for another educational and entertaining video.
Very nice Richard. Simple lines but very attractive. Love the color. Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
A great simple design that turned out great! And thank you for sharing your challenges and sharing your experiences. I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you very much!
I will have to remember that cloth trick, Richard.
Best is an old waxy polishing cloth as it holds it shape. I used to have several in the days of collet chucks.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturningI have always used blue painters tape.
Terrific Richard, I appreciate how you overcome obstacles
Thank you. I love the shape of this Pot.
Very nice piece!
Nice project. Appreciate the lesson of thinking of the steps in what order. (Holes in lid). I'm always amazed at the new things I learn on your channel.
Great video superb idea for a garlic pot my wife said I have to make at least 2 one for her and our daughter. Richard can you give us a heads up on how you cut and finish your notched scraper please.😊
There's a video on sharpening the shear scraper and creating the notch. ua-cam.com/video/qgtbM3p-lhY/v-deo.html
Amazing! It is always a privilege to be able to watch you at work thank you for sharing
Thanks for another masterclass Richard! I use garlic and ginger all the time but have never had a container for them. Really love the look and lines of this one so I'll be having a go at making one next time I'm at the lathe. I'll be checking out what the other three have been up to. Cheers 😊
I'm glad i'm not the only person who thought it looked a bit like a bird house :P
Díky za výbornou ukázku, že ani nechtěné opomenutí otvorů nemusí být nutně fatální chybou a že je řešitelné. 👌🏻
Very nice, a great design, I love the information, I took a full page of notes, off to see the other three.
Excellent work, think I might try making one myself. I'm sure you're aware of the issue with the dust from Tasmanian Blackwood, in that the fibres have spurs which if breathed in can cause issues akin to asbestosis. I've had people down here in Tasmania warn me about people they know that have passed away from breathing complications from working with Tas Blackwood over many years. Apparently, once it's in the lungs, the fibres can produce mold as wood does which can be quite painful. I always wear a respirator and have dust collection running when sanding, cutting larger chips. swarth or shavings is fine, it's the dust that's the issue.
I've long been aware of the problems of Tassie blackwood dust and rarely work it. I was told it's banned in Tasmanian schools.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning I've not heard of it's banned here, wouldn't surprise me though. I know a lot of woodworkers here don't use it due to not wanting to wear PPE, they're missing out I think, it's not a bad wood to work with, and can have some excellent figure
Wahooooo!
Thanks!
Nice variation! Thank You! Subscribed and watch all of your work! Great lessons!!
Wonderful presentation as always. Thank you. I’ve watched many of your videos. I don’t recall you using rice bran oil before. I was always under the impression using oils used in food could end up going rancid. Olive oil for example. I guess my question here is: why is rice bran oil different. Thanks!
Recently I was unable to buy the boiled linseed oil I've used for many years, so I thought I'd revert to a cooking oil and try rice bran oil. Throughout the 1970s and 80s I finished everything with a cooking oil and beeswax mix. I never encountered any rancidity so wonder if that's something to do with the beeswax. To me, the advantage of an oil/beeswax finish is that when utilitarian bowls are washed the finish comes off, after which a patina develops with use as it does on a wooden chopping or serving board, wooden plate, wooden salad bowl, or cup. On pieces that won’t get wet, the oil/beeswax is a good base for ongoing care and regular polishing that can build to a glossy patina in a few months. My observation is that hard finishes and sealers eventually crack, look terrible, and need refurbishing, whereas my bowls tend to look better with age, use, and ongoing care.
Very nice Richard
That looks amazing.
And here I thought wooden stakes were the only thing to turn when it comes to vampire-slaying.
can we get a workshop tour please. would love to see your wood storage especially
Workshop and lathe tours: ua-cam.com/video/kHBqja9GXEs/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/twuFE1-6qB0/v-deo.html
My wood storage will probably disappoint, but I'll shoot a short video today.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning brilliant thank you
Cindy Drodza told me that you are the most classic turner out there. I told her I saw you use a spindle detail tool INSIDE a bowl. I have a 3/8” Thompson. If I tried what you did I would have that chisel stuck in my forehead. Brilliant tool work Richard. I also noticed that you had ground back the end tips on your bottom scraper. I am having Cindy do a mod for me. I gotta try to make this bowl. The holes were most excellent. Where do you come up with all this wood???
I see when you were hollowing out the center you used an arcing motion. When is it appropriate? Do you do that only for rough cuts?
I never thought of doing a garlic keeper. My garlic is ready for harvesting so this project is very timely. Thanks
The arcing line of the gouge into centre when hollowing facework is not something I'm ever aware of, but is often commented on. I think I do it most of the time. The key to a cutting a smooth curve is moving smoothly with the tool handle and I suspect the arc is a continutation of the starting cut when I pivot the edge into the wood.
Great video. What speed do you turn at?
There is no set speed for turning. Lathe speed with the size and density of the blank. This was probably turned at about 1100rpm to 1500rpm. I usually mention lathe speed in a video.
I’ve noticed that you’re using a Robust, toolrest. Is that a preference or is it simply something that you use because Robust sent it to you?
It's a convenience. I had Robust rests well before I started making UA-cam videos - that was before Vicmarc manufactured hardened rests. I now have six rests, made by Robust and Vicmarc each different, each different, all hardened. I don't promote any tools or products, despite numerous requests, not even my signature tools. I'm not interested in being a paid or bribed frontman for manufacturers. I tried that in the 1980s, reaped little benefit, and determined not repeat the experience.
Yes, it seems I recall a line of Raffan tools and I think it was Crown that manufactured them. I don’t think I’ve seen one of those in years.😊
