  • This useful little dish isn't quite as challenging as it might appear at first sight. I was given the wood and have no idea what it is. You'll find a lot more information on my turning techniques in my books. www.richardraf...

    What incredible tips and tricks come up in the "narration". Thank you so much. I have a bunch of your books, and learned from them in the days before UA-cam. I just got a new lathe, and am going through your videos, and re-reading your books!

    Richard, if that hard-to-remove cap is a "push and turn" type, here's one trick... if it's a two-part cap, where you have to engage the outer cap with an inner shell to get the cap off, sneak a dab of CA glue into the crack between the two parts. When it's cured, both halves will be connected, and no "push" will ever be needed again to get the cap off... just twist.
    At my age, I had to find an alternative that would work, and for two-part push-and-turn caps, the dab of CA has proven to be a wonderful solution.
    Great video, by the way. Thanks!

    That sanding disc to take the bowl back to a square is genius. I have tried making square bowls before but they didn't look right to me after I was done, and your method fixes that problem! Thank you for another awesome lesson!

      The point of turning a square bowl is not to cut the round to a square, but to keep the maximum dimensions of the blank.

    I appreciate the fact that you don’t refine surfaces any earlier than you need to… provides for greater efficiency. I can say the same is true for my old trade of cement finishing, and probably the same with many trades I expect.

    Thanks Richard. I've turned square before but haven't done the "sand back to square" trick. Saw it in one of your other videos. Got to try that.
    Recently ran across another youtube turner ( Tomislav Tomasic Woodturning ) who's tool handling and work methods look sooo much like yours. He refers to you as his mentor and example. He couldn't have a better example in my opinion.

Watched the video went to the shop and in three or for dips was at the bottom, way fast the a drill bit, and I had a round shape instead of the square that the bit leaves. Great tips!

    With the colour and shape it sort of reminds me of a square cut piece out of a pumpkin. And while that might not sound nice I mean it in a nice way. The consistent thickness is the shell of the pumpkin and the flat bevels are the cuts made to get into the back of what would be a Jack'O Lantern. I love the play between the planar edges and the curves.

      It's the tailend of a rubber cleaning stick. You should be able to buy abrasive cleaning sticks anywhere they sell sanding belts and disks. I've seen a shoe sole used, but those that don't work further clog the belt.
