This video shows that the tool works even when you’re using it the wrong way round!

Thanks for another good video Sam. As a new turner I look forward to all of your instruction.

Yep. Glad Christmas is soon new tool to be had. Thanks Sam. Justin

Great video Sam, thanks for sharing. Take care, Carl

Some interesting ideas and techniques. Thanks James

Many thanks for this video Sam. The Robert Sorby road show was demonstrating at my local wood turner's shop a few days ago after I first saw your video. And, yes I succumbed a bought the tool. I have had a lot of fun with it since but only on practice pieces. It's going to take time to master it but already I can see how it can enhance the beauty of a piece. Best wishes, Alan.

Thank you so much for the instruction. I have that exact tool and your video is better than anything I've seen. Honestly, I was frustrated with the tool but can't wait to use it now. You just gained another subscriber . Stay well :-)

Thanks i do have lots to learn about the texturing tools but I am making progress. Sam

Very useful introduction, thanks. Alan

Thanks for making the video. I've been interesting in texturing, but had never found a video that made it look do-able for 'normal' people. Made a chatter tool a while back and never have been able to get anything anywhere near what I see guys online get with the same thing. Might have to give this type of texturing a try - looks much more repeatable than a chatter tool.

I agree that it is all about repeatability. I do have a chatter tool that sometimes give good results but more than not---it does not work too well. The Robert Sorby tool I used is the smaller version. The larger one cost over 200 dollars which I just can't justify. The small one is more affordable. I recently went to a turning symposium where I saw Rex Burnigham demonstrate the tool and picked up some good tips that I used in the video. Sam

Thanks, it is really fun. Sam

Sorry, I think I forgot to respond to your question. On the bowls I did, they are hard maple. So being very hard wood it helps the dyes not bleed. I sometimes just use a small artist's brush and that helps. OR.... if the color does bleed, I just turn the adjacent wood away or sand it. Sam

Thanks Sam

Very interesting video so many thanks.

Thanks Sam! Glad I found this video. Was wondering how you did your texturing and now I know. Hopefully I may get close to as good as you! Thanks again. Take care, Dave

David Just takes practice. AND, it works better in a harder wood. Sam

It is gilt cream. It is made by Liberon and you can find it on Ebay. Sam

nice work

great video, but how do you keep the dye or ink from bleeding out of the circle?

Excellent video Sam. Cheers Mike

Great video, Sam. I could not find the Gilt Cream on the CSUSA website. They do have Rub N Buff which I think may be similar. I have used the gold Rub N Buff on textured items successfully and plan on getting some silver.

It is not my idea, I learned it from Nick Agar in a demonstration. I am sure lots of people have done this technique. It is always good to add a little of yourself when inspired by others. Sam

Nice, very nice. Love the (Quill?) cream effect. Craft Supply purchase ?

thanks man .. and you sound exactly like Raymond Romano.. the comedian from "Everybody Love Raymond"

+Mugtaba Eltahir Yes you found out my secret......I have been told that for years. Just like Ray, except the risk, famous part. Sam

Thank you so much. I love the texture and the colors. Sam, what kind of markers are you using in these videos? I would appreciate it if you get a minute to write me just what type of markers they are.

I have found a great number of marking pens like this at Dick Blick. Dick Blick.com is an art supply catalog and is also found online. Pentel makes some very good markers. I have other videos dealing with coloring in markers you might search my channel. And find more information there. Thanks Sam

Hi Sam, I've really enjoyed your videos on texturing. I've been thinking about getting a texturing tool and was looking at them on amazon. The micro tool like in your video only comes with 2 cutters for $84.99, the texturing wheel is an extra $19.95 = $104.94 and according to the details the wheels don't have bearings. The larger one comes with 4 cutters (which have bearings) for $169. and has two more available size cutters. If you had it to do over again at today's prices would you still prefer the micro over the full size? Thank you sir, Tim

Yes I agree with your analogy of these products. Totally ------ I would just get the micro wheels. Sam

Here is a link to the Faber Castell markers I used.www.dickblick.com/products/faber-castell-pitt-big-brush-artist-pens/ Sam

wow. very nice. can steal the idea?

At 9:28, you use the bottom of the tool to make a highlight. Is that recommended? I saw on the other videos, that the tool is to be used from the beveled edge. I just got the tool and would not want to do anything to ruin it, and had to ask.

Bert..... No I don't think there is any way or angle to hold this tool that would do any damage to it. One thing I have found is that it is very important to lubricate it with some fine machine oil. I would do this once or twice each time you use it. Sam

WYOMINGWOODTURNER Are the bearings not sealed? How common are they to replace (should the need ever arise to do so)?

Bertminator I would think the bearings are sealed. I think that it would be just about as cheap to replace the tool. Not sure??? Sam

Sam, Where did you get your Point Tool? If you made it, can you tell me how? Better yet, make a video on it? Thank you........Jim

Jim I have gotten two point tools from Craft Supply USA. I have seen on handled and the other unhanded. I have never made one but I think with a round screw driver it would be easy. I have a video on the point tool if you search my channel you should find it. Let me know if you can't Sam

Thank you Sam. I have an account with Dick Blick. I am trying to find the markers there but can't find them. I thought you might have the brand name for them. Thank you for your reply too!!!
