wood-lathe-tools-youtube-channels Friction Polish. Hi martin sorry to bother you ,i missed your live bowl demo but watched wood lathe tools youtube channels repeat last night. I was looking forward to the Live beginners finishing, which you Had to cancel but the Finishing Excellence was great and very informative. Style of carving in which numerous small pyramid-shaped bits of wood are removed from a workpiece by means of a series of shallow knife cuts. With the increased use of the more versatile CNC machines, their use is less common than when specialized machines were required for machining tasks. Dual Bevel. I typically use CA when using crushed turquoise, but when I use two part species, wood lathe tools youtube channels matter what brand I use, it changes the color of my turquoise.

It is believed that turquoise was first found in mines in the Middle East near present-day Iran and has been used since B. Today turquoise is probably known best from the beautiful Native American jewelry found in the southwestern parts of the United States. Native American turquoise jewelry has been prominent in the American southwest and also with Mexican natives for several hundred years.

There are specific locations where turquoise is mined, and each site offers a slightly different final product. Arid desert locations associated with copper and aluminum deposits is where turquoise is mostly located. Arizona currently produces the most turquoise from mining operations.

Turquoise can vary in color from light robin egg bluish-green to dark deep greenish-blue and everything in between. Turquoise can vary in color and pattern depending on what other minerals are present in the mining location. Treated or stabilized turquoise is produced by using lower grades of turquoise or porous turquoise along with dust particles and bonding them together, usually with an adhesive agent.

Stabilized turquoise is easily discovered when broken down. Instead of that rich signature turquoise color, the dust from stabilized turquoise will appear faded or cloudy due to the added adhesive material. Pure turquoise dust and particles should appear the same in color regardless of size. This is the tell-tale way to know if a piece of turquoise is genuine turquoise or a conglomerate.

Unfortunately, there is also fake turquoise on the market that is made of ceramic or plastics. Upon crushing, these fake turquoise substitutes will quickly be discovered because the dust will appear white and chalky.

You can find turquoise in various locations, including mining it first-hand. While becoming a rock hound and mining turquoise yourself might not be what you had in mind, there are other ways to get your hands on turquoise.

First off, there many online sources for turquoise and I have several of them listed in my Recommended Finishing Supplies Guide. Most of these sources sell relatively fine-powdered turquoise. Another source is old jewelry. Another option is to purchase turquoise from rock and gem stores. These places will often have good alternative options for turquoise as well.

More about alternatives in a minute. An issue with real turquoise is its hardness. Like wood and Wood Lathe Tools Youtube 3d the Janka Hardness Scale, stone has a hardness chart as well. With turquoise hitting the above center point with a 6, it can be a bit difficult to crush and sand pure turquoise. Turquoise is so unique that it defines and names a color all to itself.

However, that turquoise color varies through a range of blue-green to green-blue hues. Azurite and malachite are two minerals with a hardness of that are much easier to work with compared to turquoise.

In addition to natural stones, various additional alternative products can be used to fill cracks on a wood bowl. See the Recommended Finishing Products Guide for the full list of turquoise and turquoise alternate items.

If you decide to use natural stone for your turquoise inlay, you may need to crush the mineral to size before making the inlay. Breaking even a small piece of stone can produce many fragments and much dust. Another way to crush stone is to use two sheets of heavy metal to sandwich the stone and pound the top metal plate with a hammer.

Draping a plastic sheet under and over the metal plate sandwich will prevent pieces from escaping the sides. You will need to decide how much you want to crush the stone depending on what you want to achieve with your turquoise inlay. If you simply what to make an even-colored turquoise inlay with a smooth appearance, crush the stone down to dust. The wood species will play a factor if you decide to use real turquoise. As we mentioned earlier, turquoise is relatively hard and sanding that inlay will require more effort.

If a relative softwood is used to make the bowl that will have a turquoise inlay, the area around the inlay will most likely be altered during the inlay sanding process. Alternative turquoise substitutes, which are not as hard, will not present the same challenge. This makes alternative materials just a bit more attractive. Some examples of suitable wood species to use with a genuine turquoise inlay are hard maple, oak, beech, walnut, osage orange, rosewood, and cocobolo.

If you are using an alternatively softer material than turquoise, the wood species will not be as much of an issue, and you can use almost any type of wood to turn your inlayed bowl. Natural occurring cracks in the wood bowl are an excellent opportunity to apply a turquoise inlay. You can make your own too. Consider making the crack along the grain lines like a natural crack would appear. Use a Dremel or small pick to clear out an area and create the ideal crack.

I little crack goes a long way. Whether naturally occurring or created, cracks in a bowl will need some preparation before they can be filled with an inlay. Cracks in a bowl blank can be evident from the start or appear during the turning of a wooden bowl. Or, in the example above, they can be created from scratch. It is important not to start filling the cracks of the bowl too soon in the turning process.

Turn the bowl down to its almost final cutting passes before adding the turquoise inlay. Small thin cracks will be challenging to fill well and can leave underlying voids.

Use small dental pick tools like these to dig out and open up small fine cracks. Use the same tools to remove loose wood fibers from all cracks. The sidewalls of each crack need to be clean and free of debris. If you are filling wormholes, especially get out all impacted debris before applying an inlay. Inlay applied to wormholes with lingering loose material will probably work free overtime and can dislodge from the bowl.

Use an air compressor and blow out all the cavities to make sure they are clear. The sidewalls of wood bowl crack can be angled in countless ways. You will want to refine some of these walls to make them hold the inlay better.

An outside angled crack opening can be the worst for holding the inlay filling. Because the surface gradually tapers to meet the main wall, a fragile layer of inlay is created. This thin layer can easily chip off. If necessity is the mother of invention, I really think that the circumstances we find ourselves in have created the beginning of a readily-accepted new phase of woodturning, taking the hobby out of village halls although there will always be a place for that once we can mingle again and direct in to living rooms and workshops around the world.

Martin is at the forefront of that and he has every right to be proud of his achievements. Hi Martin I thoroughly enjoyed your 3 live demonstrations regarding colouring and finishing and found them very instructive. I would complement you on your presentation skills and covering how to properly present the tools to the wood and also the perils of wrong presentation.

Additionally, your clear and concise advice on the various finishes, what to avoid and the possible repercussions of overlaying finishing materials with a different base. Your comments on turning the base and finishing either a spigot or dovetail caused me to reconsider how I was doing it.

I can well understand why you are held in such high regard as a demonstrator. Well done and thanks. This was very much a good learning 1 to 1 tuition , Martin observed initially How I held tool and approached work , stopped me when he thought I was unsafe or wrong position.

Showed me on the corrected Method angle of approach and position of tool , plus not too be to aggressive and with correct handling of tool get a better finish safer. A very good instructional day Where i found how much easier It was to turn with a better finish off the tool.

Came a away With a bowl Mainly done by myself. Thank you Martin excellent day. With the implications of lockdown Martin embarked on producing a live video. I have watched almost all of his pre recorded videos to learn what I could and have been fortunate in being able to have a days tuition with Martin in his workshop.

My self taught skills were enhanced tremendously with Martins tuition and so I was keen to watch a live broadcast. Martin has a great sense of fun that he adds to his excellent way in delivering tuition in a professional but laid back manner. It almost like having one to one tuition but from the comfort of your own home. He regularly attracts audiences of three to four hundred viewing the live broadcasts from around the globe.. Martin provides great tuition and entertainment completely free of charge because he feels he has an obligation to promote safe and skillful woodturning.

Hopefully Martin will be doing some more live sessions but for now, he deserves a break. Thank you Martin for all you have given us. It was my pleasure to meet you and learn on the one to one day and you continue to teach and inspire. Kindest regards to you and the family.. Sadly a family emergency prevented me watching the live broadcast but Martin had recorded the lesson so I viewed it the next day.

It was a fabulous video full of great content, instruction and guidance. I identified my own finishing technique was flawed and applying what Martin had demonstrated yesterday I was amazed at the excellent finish on a bowl I could now achieve. Really enjoyed the demonstration and I thought the explanations of the techniques was first rate. I knew my one day tutorial was going to be good, but it was even better than I had anticipated.

I felt I already knew Martin from his live demonstrations and I felt relaxed and easy in his presence. I am new to woodturning having joined Kennet Valley Woodturners Club last Autumn and started up with my own workshop, lathe and tools in March — at lockdown. I missed the opportunity to book some tuition over the past few months — and no doubt got into some bad habits and poor techniques. I did though some excellent Hampshire Sheen products from Martin. Martin planned the day around my needs and objectives.

In fact we both had similar Ash blanks, so I was able to watch Martin step-by-step on his lathe and then he watched me turn on another lathe, giving continuous advice on my technique. I still struggle a little with the inside of a bowl but that will improve with time and experience. The end result was by far the best piece I have turned in four months. Hi Martin, Thank you for an excellent evening on the basic woodturning tool set. Your style of teaching made the whole evening very informative, serious where it needed to be in reference to the roughing gouge and very much lighthearted and funny banter with participants and with your moderator Phil joining in when necessary, made the whole thing easy to watch and learn.

Questions asked were answered I thought in a very concise way and came over in a non patronising manner. Did not realise how quickly it all went till you said goodbye, no idea it over ran.

One last thing I would like to say thank you for is giving your time to put these sessions on also including the live ones during this time of uncertainly going on in the world.

Still too many catches but a vast improvement. Absolutely loving wood turning, should have tried it years ago. Since the lockdown I have been to each and every live show and also looked up all on you tube etc. I have learnt so much from him even thought I have been turning , hobbyist for over 20 yrs.

I have watched both of your pastel shades live demonstrations on you tube and have loved not only the pieces, but your whole format; you give clear, concise explanations of what and why you are doing things a certain way, you engage with your viewers and take the time to answer questions that we raise. The set up you have is absolutely amazing as is all the work you have put in behind the scenes, including programming the overlays, research, development and all the improvements, which are on-going.

With each live demonstration I can see progress and it is very much appreciated. I have watched every live demo Martin has done, they are superb learning opportunities mixed with good repartee both from Martin and the accompanying chat. Keeping us all sane during these trying times. Just a note to thank you for the superb presentation to the Ely Guild on July 1st. First class presentation with lots of useful tips. Thank You once again.

Martin, just like your finishing products your demos are Fantastic! You put together a great line up of demonstrations and you setup each one brilliantly. I hope to book a lesson when this distancing is over. Thanks again for the great lessons, answering any and all questions and letting the chat group be real and fun. Cheers, Mike Doyle. Hi martin. I really enjoyed the demo last night. I was so impressed I decided to have a go and ordered some intrinsic paints. The sanding tool you were using, was it from simon hope?

You made it look very impressive. I am a new woodturner and I have just found your You Tube videos. I feel that I am seeing things done safely and properly when I watch your videos.

I watched you turn a small oak bowl the other day and I totally stole your idea of using a torch on the bowl edge. What a beautiful finishing touch it gave to this simple Maple bowl. If I were on the other side of the pond, I would definitely consider taking a course from you. Great demonstration going through the grits to get a great finish. You made it a joy to watch. Tried myself on birch plywood and it works beautifully. I spent another enjoyable evening learning the basics of turning a bowl.

This followed on well from the previous weeks demo for beginners regarding wood-turning tools. We were taken through the process at just the right speed with opportunities to ask questions regularly during the session.

The on screen graphics really helped to enhance the explanations that Martin was giving and the use of several cameras at different angles was very helpful and you really felt you were getting personal tuition. I particularly found the camera set up further away showing how Martin stands was useful as it clearly showed how to hold the tool and how to move the whole body for certain cuts of the wood.

As a new wood-turner I tend to stand very stiffly, gripping the tool too hard! As always Martin was very generous with his time, happy to answer as many questions as were asked and to show something again if anyone needed him to.

Thanks again Martin. I find these demonstrations very informative. They are delivered in a very easy style to watch. I bought coloured materials at Harrogate and now I have the confidence to give it a go.

Sadly I have run out of appropriate balnks, but I know where to get them from and will do so. Please keep up the good work. Martin does great demonstrations and it is not rushed in any way, he thoroughly explains everything in detail from start to finish. Some pieces that I have seen him turn and finishes are out of this world. Clive from Horley.

Love the love demos. I have learned so much in watching the excellent presentations and hope I can master the skills you are teaching.

My first lesson was there is no need for speed and the second was no matter whose finishing products you use poor preparation will always shine through. Any imperfections are solely the responsibility of the creator, I will keep trying to apply the lessons I am learning, keep it up Martin and I will keep watching. I thought the demo was excellent. Martin has put a lot of time and thought into his presentation. The graphics showing chisel angles were so helpful.

Great Demo. Martin was so full of information and gave it so clearly, I learned quite a bit. I was logged on to the course the other night and was exceptionally pleased with your content, explanation and clear instructions. Plus you have a very good technique to be able to keep ones interest going the whole length of the transmission! It was an excellent video.

You must be pleased with the viewing numbers as well. Well done Martin. Martin, I used to work as a technology manager for a large industrial paint company. After I retired 8years ago, I gradually took up woodturning and am so far! I have made many pieces and sold these for the benefit of our local village hall here in Catton, Northumberland.

I have seen many of your U-tube videos and learned a great deal from them. I also met you briefly at one of the recent Harrogate Shows. In light of the above I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all the contributions you have made to the woodturning scene. I find these to be extremely informative. I have more recently taken up purchasing items from your company and have been very pleased with the service provided, as well as with the quality of the materials.

I only wish I lived nearer Hampshire as I would be very keen to take some lessons from you!! I look forward to meeting you again when viruses permit! I trust you and your family remain healthy and the company goes from strength to strength, Crack on with the good work!

John Nunn. Hi Martin. I was looking forward to the Live beginners finishing, which you Had to cancel but the Finishing Excellence was great and very informative. Stay well, stay healthy and stay sane during these challenging time! Best wishes Charlie in Co Waterford. I was glad when Martin decided to start doing live streams as I have been watching his videos for a couple of years when I decided that I wanted to start woodturning when I retire. And it is truly global as well. Now that is popularity.

Very fun, interesting, and educational. Martin is a great instructor, and knows his stuff. Martin is at the top of the list of woodturning teachers. He puts a lot of thought and work in the preparation and hosting his classes. Thank you Martin for everything you do. I hope this has opened the gates for many more Zoom demos and could become part of the yearly programme.

I noticed that there were 35 members taking part which made it such a successful evening. I have been turning for three years, mostly self taught. I was still using the tool incorrectly, even after three years. The delivery, both pace and contents were done in such a professional manner that you never felt as if anything was too much. Brilliant session and signed up for the next one. I appreciate the members are from a wide range to experience and expertise but for a beginner this was an excellent session.

It was so helpful to watch a project demonstrated showing the stages undertaken. I thought the combination of demo and overlay graphics excellent. I have spent the last 25 years teaching and I know a good teacher when I see one. Please pass my thanks to Martin. Hi Martin, To days live demonstration was a most enjoyable experience, as indeed have all the others so far! I have learnt SO much from this series of presentations and look forward to each and everyone of them.

Your presentation style, Camera quality and graphics are first class. The live presentations are a credit to your previous life in photography and graphics, and I look forward to seeing many Which Wood Lathe Tools To Use Youtube more in the future, they give me great comfort in these difficult times. Sincere thanks for all your efforts.

John Farnsworth, Edinburgh. A friend and I were due to attend one of the finishing courses but then the virus struck. The introduction of the live demonstrations from the workshop helped to ease the misfortune of missing the course.

The demos are great, my sanding and finishing has improved, my use of colour and application of final finishes has been transformed and I feel more confident to try new ideas and styles. Martin presents in a very calm, level, friendly and clear manner. His knowledge and attention to detail is superb. The benefits of the live demo is that the viewer is able to ask questions and get involved. Martin does his best to help. The number of viewers is growing each time, a testament to the quality of workmanship being observed.

I for one am very grateful that Martin has taken the time to pass on his knowledge and expertise. Thanks for last night, i was very impressed with the demo, the technology, and the general feel of the meeting. It was much more personal than I had imagined and a good substitute for the real thing. With the added advantage with the video turned off of a refreshing glass of a rather nice Kiwi Sauvignon!

I was a bit apprehensive prior to the demonstration due to having no prior practical experience of wood turning. However, my apprehension was soon unfounded. It was well seen Martin had spent a considerable amount of time developing slides depicting various methods and or different gouges.

These slides proved to be very useful. The atmosphere was friendly and no question was to small. And the inclusion, at a later date, of crib sheets to refer to at a later date is a bonus. Keeping up the good work Martin.

He explains his work very well. His technique to finishing is like no other. Hi Martin, I would just like to say a big thank you for all of your live demos and in particular to the Excellence in Finishing on line class which I found extremely useful and interesting. It was well put together and well explained, the photography was good as were the graphics that you had produced. All in all a first class couple of hours.

I know how much work goes into this sort of production so really appreciate it. I would be lost with out it as it is the simplest and most user friendly one I have ever used. Comments On Apr 24, I had a Tormek T-4, a very expensive system especially after adding the jigs. It took far too long to sharpen my tools and forget about grinding a new edge, it takes forever. The Wolverine is easy to set up and when combined with a low speed grinder like the Rikon also sold by Craft Supplies, it's unbeatable.

For just over half of what my Tormek setup cost with the equivalent jigs - skew and varigrind - I get perfectly sharpened tools FAST! I'm very impressed with the Wolverine system and wish I would have gotten from the start instead of wasting so much time on the Tormek. Comments On Dec 12, As everyone already knows this is a great product.

However, if you plan on using the Rikon slow speed eight inch grinder like Woodcraft sales, be warned the lower parts of the grinder wheel guards will not allow the flat plate mount to come all the way to close the gap between the wheel and plate. I just took a hacksaw and cut them to clear. Just keep this in mind.

Comments On Apr 23, Set up took all of 15 minutes. Precise, accurate, polished grinds each and every time. Use to be nervous when sharpening gouges, now I can sharpen like a pro. Good job!
