Acks makes a great product. @TanyaBcherwoodturning has been using this method for quite some time. The finish is beautiful. Great video. Happy New Year.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I've been using Acks for a while, but, based on your video here, I have not been using the abrasive paste quite properly. I wasn't continuing to polish until the paper towel basically came away clean, or until the grit was absolutely and totally gone. I have never quite been able to get the shine I wanted from my pieces, but I'm hopeful now that with more effective use and working of the abrasive paste, that I'll be able to get the results I'm looking for.

I'll give the Ack's paste a try. And it's nice to support a business from my home state. Btw, I often hollow out the inside of a bowl or vase with the lathe running in reverse (using a chuck that locks on the spindle!). This way I don't need to lean over the lathe, and it's easier to see in deeper vessels. Sometimes the tool rest seems to be at an awkward angle, so I might have a custom rest made for me.

@ThePapa1947

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it does work good. I hollow that way as well if there is something I can not reach without reaching so far over the lathe. And for sure you want the locking screw in. I agree the tool rest can get in the way doing that. I have a few tool rest to choose from so that helps. Thanks for wataching, Gary

Thanks for the great video. This answers a lot of questions I have had about the process you use and why. How the various components of the abrasive paste actually work and the content of the restoring polish is still a mystery but finishing in general is a mystery in woodturning. I am in the process of mixing my own shellac from flakes, Zisner is not sold here anymore. I believe a 1 pound cut should work as a sanding sealer with a final coat of either lacquer or poly as a final finish. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Great video Gary and thank you for sharing. I have been using the Acks products for a little while now, about half way through my first container of both the abrasive paste and polishing paste, and have never really known how much of the abrasive paste I should use so I have always used it kind of sparingly whereas the polishing paste I got a better sense of how much of that was needed right from the start some how. That’s certainly a beautiful bowl and I did see the person wearing a mask as well lol.
