Hi Martin. On your recommendation when we met at Harrogate I have just received my texturing tool and hope to emulate your fantastic piece of work. As always, thank you for sharing 🌞

Excellent video! Love the coloring on the bottom

I have been following your work for some time now and slowly trying my hand at colouring. This piece is inspirational. I have all the kit needed. I just need make some bigger blanks. Thanks mate

Absolutely stunning! I love this bowl and all the color and texturing!

Absolutely gorgeous bowl love the different techniques. Nice one Martin

Martin, That bowl turned out very well. That would be a piece that should make anyone happy to have. Thanks for taking your time to video and post. Jim

Cheers, Ian. The gradient is a favourite part of mine, too. And the bottom. All in all, it's a nice piece, and fun to turn, too.

ah, was wondering how the bowl was secured when the interior was being hogged out and the gilding applied. i'm impressed that mechanical hold was enough to secure such a large piece. Very neat effect with the pattern, painting and gilding!

Beautiful contour and color decoration. Are these dyes and gilt decorations food safe? If not, is there a finish that would appropriately seal them?

@msabansmith

They're not as far as I know, but it wouldn't worry me personally as the decoration is on the outside. It would be the finish on the inside of a food-contact piece that I would ensure is food-contact safe.

I can easily believe you did a ton of sanding. Your clothes look like you just came in from a desert sand storm. ;-) Even with a slow speed on the lathe I can't believe you wear no face shield...brave?

Hi Gil. Thanks - generally, I'll wear a faceshield for really hair pieces like natural edges and the piece I'm turning for next week's project. Or, a piece I'm not confident is solid. Otherwise, I'm comfortable in safety glasses only. Likewise, when I demonstrate at clubs, safety glasses are worn rather than full shields, save for the exceptions given above. Teaching in the shop though, beginners are required to wear full shields. Sanding this piece was quite funny - did feel like I'd come in from the sand, yeah. Lol. All the best, Martin

Hi Martin, Why do you have to use your hand to start the bowl on the lathe? Is it because the lathe doesn't have enough torque at low speed to get it started? We enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

@msabansmith

7 жыл бұрын

Hi there, MaineWolverine. Thanks for the comment. There is soooo much torque in the motor that a hand start isn't actually required at all. But with a piece this big, I thought, to keep the stresses down on the motor that a little hand start would be good. Also, with another large piece I did (off camera), when sanding in reverse, the torque in the motor and the inertia of the piece actually unscrewed the chuck, even at 500 rpm!

Now I -need- NEED a lathe... :o)

You're best off asking Glyn Senior at www.yorkshire-grit.com or the Canadian distributor for the definitive answer. As for Hampshire Sheen products...they are made for decorative items. To have them officially foodsafe tested is beyond expensive for a small business. Thanks for asking, Martin

Hi Martin It looks like a nice piece. I am sure you wear a mask while sanding. Are you going to get a dust extractor for the lathe to take the dust away? Eric

@msabansmith

Hi Eric. Thanks for the comment. Of course a mask when sanding. I don't show it often as it is the woodturning equivalent of watching paint dry. Plus, as discussed in a much earlier video, I can't talk and be heard at the same time with a mask on. The new workshop has a huge extactor system. Check out the Black Dog Workshop channel for all the development videos. I will do a workshop tour at some point soonish though.
