Thank you very much Bob, I appreciate your comment. Really glad you liked my idea.

“little Squirty bottle” ❤️

Thank you for your video Now I inderstand how to make it 👍

Your video is still relevant, thank you Martin!

Hiya Martin I’m in Ireland Have been watching your videos for a while They are really great So I bought two pots of Hampshire sheen the weekend One original and the other high gloss Used sanding sealer and Hampshire sheen in a bowl Really amazing product you are making Was really happy with it Thanks 😀

Hi Martin,I bought one of the Sorby bowl sanders months ago,but couldn't get on with it.Now,thanks to your video,I realise I'd been doing it all wrong! So thanks,I'm now going to give it another go.Take care,Keith.

Lovely bowl, Martin, and very helpful tips as you go along. Very good. Cheers

Great instructions well presented watching from Alberta, Canada.

Brilliant video Martin and thanks. Lots of stuff in there for me and I really must put life aside and get back in the shop! Love the moody bowl gouge bit, great tool control! The finish is absolutely lovely!

The finish looks great and also easy to use which is a huge plus. I have a feeling Hampshire sheen is going to be a big hit!! Great instructional video and a great looking bowl. I have used a bowl sander on quite a few bowls and it makes the sanding process much faster and really nice results. I made my own bowl sander after watching one of Miguel Sanchez's videos. It cost me about €6 or with the current exchange rate about 50p in total to make

Hi Martin !! Great sanding tutorial mate and as usual, the bowl sounds beautiful, along with it's Hampshire Sheen finish.....Can't wait to hear the new lathe operating. Take care. Chris.

Very well explained. Thanks for the information!

Great finish and great demo, information overload for a newbie like me.

Hi Martin! That is a great tutorial on sanding and finishing! Thank you very much for sharing my friend! Cheers! Daniel

Very nice work and well explained. I'm in Stratford on avon.new to turning and appreciate your attention to detail

deffo need a bowl sander amazing as usual

Lovely finish, I have problems finding a finish and that looks superb. Regards Jeanette

Martin, Thank you for another very informative video. It looks like you have hit a home run with your finish. I only hope you will be selling it soon and that you will be able to ship to the states. Keep on turning, Jim

Hi Martin, great vid on sanding and finishing! The Hampshire sheen looks very easy to apply and quick too and I do like the look it gives! I think I'll have to try the bowl sander, I just tend to use the various grits by hand but it can get very hot, so the sander would be a real plus!!... Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next vid . Trev

A very informative, well demonstrated and explained tutorial Martin, with an exceptionally beautiful bowl at the end. The scorching result was spot on, and the Hampshire sheen is a lovely finish, and I'm positive will be a "go to" finish for many a turner in the future. You like me prefer a good lustre as opposed to a full on gloss, although it must be said that the gloss has its place on certain pieces. Another very enjoyable and useful video. Take care and speak soon. Hopefully you've caught up on your Zs ;) Mike

Well done 👍🏻

A good tutorial. thanks

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thank you Martin for a very professional piece of turning. The bowl is really lovely. I think you could take up full time teaching of the art anytime.As my wife had delegated many gardening duties to me during the past few months I haven't done as much turning as I would have liked. However, as the result of our poor summer autumn has arrived early so I'm looking forward to a whole day in my workshop tomorrow.Coincidentally, a few weeks ago I bought a bowl sander identical to yours. I think it's an excellent tool with a good weight and a comfortable grip.Also, I was inspired by you to buy a blow torch but it's still in its wrapping so I might even break it out over the next few days.Happy turning,Alan.

+Alan Simpson Today I managed to turn a bowl out of padauk and for the first time used my new blow torch. I'm really pleased with the result. I had a few minor flare-ups when using the torch but these were down to residual sealing wax on the blank which I hadn't fully removed.

+Martin Saban-Smith Thank you for your reply Martin.I've cut a little channel round the edge of the bowl about 2cms wide in which to place some tiny flowers and then fill with it with epoxy resin.I should have it done within the next 48 hours and I will send you some photos.Best wishes,Alan.

Great video, watching from Australia!! Starting out member of the western Sydney Woodturners. Got some awesome inspiration from this. Keep up the good work mate.

Very good bowl and also can you turn bowls or turn willow at all? Thanks ollie

Very impressive bowl and finish. What are the advantages of using the bowl sander to doing it by hand? I would guess by hand you have a better feel as to what is happening to the surface.

Nice work Martin. One question, do you find after a few weeks that you get black dots appear in the grain of the oak? I had this problem a few times and was told by the chaps at Trent Valley Woodturners, that it was small bits of wire wool reacting to the tannin in the wood. Cheers, Ben

Very nice presentation - and nice looking bowl. I find that with some woods (eg, maple), it is very difficult to deal with end grain, especially end grain at two points on the circumference of the bowl where the direction of rotation of the bowl means that the grain is unsupported. I've tried manually sanding these areas in the opposite direction (my lathe isn't reversible), or using a drill to power-sand, but neither of those techniques is 100% successful.

great video martin,,gotta try the burning on a bowl,,does anyone in the us sell Hampshire sheen

Hi Jeff. Thanks for watching, and asking about the products. Wood World of Texas and The Walnut Log Studio stock Hampshire Sheen products in the US.

Do you clean up the bowl after you have used the blow torch at all?

Where can I order the bowl sander that you used? Larry

Great demo Martin, thank you. I found the friction sander on Amazon and have a question. Should I purchase 4 heads for each grit I use? Thank you in advance, Phil

Thanks for watching. No need to buy different heads for each grit unless you want to. I just change the disk. Takes a couple of seconds. No bother

Can I use it on the outside of pepper mills?

What is the brand name of the sander

what kind of lath is that

What’s the brand of the sanding tool used

I am in the U.S. and am wondering how I can get some of the Hampshire Sheen?

Thanks for asking, Henry. Head over to www.thewalnutlog.com in St. Louis, Missouri or www.woodworldtx.com in Dallas, Texas. They both stock the Hampshire Sheen products.

Anyone have a suggestion for what to use instead of the “sanding wool”

Tom Barnes Hi Tom. He orders it from the US manufacturer of Hampshire Sheen.

Lovely video, nice bowl, nice finish, however if you plan to be a professional turner why the cheap nasty very noisy Taiwanese lathe your very interesting video was partly spoiled by not being able to the comentary very well,all in all a good video, ditch the crap lathe and keep on turning
