[@kennethfuquay2010]

Amazing piece! Perfect Form - Perfectly Executed!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@missteeturns]

A gorgeous form. I was intrigued by your hollowing rest. Its very similar to the one I made a few weeks ago. There's a video of it on my UA-cam channel. I'm spending the weekend modifying it as it's not wide enough

[@MartinWoodhead]

That sounds great! Thanks for watching! Happy turning! 😊

[@missteeturns]

@@MartinWoodhead hope you don't mind me asking but did you make the laser attachment and what did you use?

[@MartinWoodhead]

@@missteeturns Always happy to help Tee. Yes I used a very cheap laser pen, I think it cost £1. I dismantled it and connected it to an old phone charger. Although there is no reason why you can't use it as is, though I found the batteries didn't last. Hope that helps, if there's anything else just ask.

[@missteeturns]

@@MartinWoodhead I had thought about a laser pen and using aluminium rod but I can't find the connections anywhere on line. Basically I'm not sure what to search for

[@MartinWoodhead]

@@missteeturns I would just use a piece of hard wood drilled to take the rod and screw it or glue it.

[@Umberto.Goglia]

I agree with the title....Perfect! Really great job Martin, thanks for sharing!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Glad you liked it Umberto. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you very much Ken! 😊

[@LansdowneWoodworker]

That is one nice hollow form that you executed so beautifully

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching, glad you like it! 😊

[@calvinbass1839]

Your stuff is always so pristine & without tool marks. I have to ask, are you really that good with your gouges or do you spend a lot of time sanding? Beautiful work as always.

[@MartinWoodhead]

I sand like everyone else. But the better the finish of the chisel the less you have to sand and I really don't like sanding! 😊

[@willpalm1035]

wow good job

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks Will. 😊

[@billjones393]

Superb. Skill, precision and beauty. Just how many hours went into that?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks Bill, not sure wasn't counting. 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Martin, Your description says it all "Perfect Form".
It is HUGE and I love it.
Did you make the hollowing rig? I also love the idea of turning the headstock to get inside easier.
Brilliant video Martin. I've learned a lot.
Take care. Cheers, Huw

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Huw, glad you like it. Yes all homemade! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@MartinWoodhead Brilliant job. 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@горастружки]

шикарная работа .супер

[@MartinWoodhead]

Большое спасибо! 😊

[@mdalatibo]

Amazing piece! One question: why don’t you use a sanding sealer or oil before the spray finish ? Thanks !

[@amiteshdevic8192]

Yes, I agree...amazing work. Some beautiful spalting in this piece as well. But I too am wondering why no sanding sealer?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching! It's acrylic varnish, the first coat acts as a sealer. 😊

[@danielgonzales3892]

What brand of lathe is that it looks good

[@MartinWoodhead]

It's acrylic varnish. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@tp2808]

[@SteveMaker]

Just found your channel. I'm really new to wood turning and find your work to be very inspiring (maybe a little intimidating too). I love what you do and will follow with interest.
By the way, do you have Facebook etc?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Welcome aboard Steve and thanks for watching! 😊 No don't have any social media presence.

[@SteveMaker]

So, I've worked my way through your videos, brilliant stuff and very inspiring!
I don't know where you are in the world but like you I need to find somewhere local to me to find some logs!
