Great work, Mike! A wonderful homage paid to Mr. Raffan. Loved the outtake, too

Great project Mike, it's good to see that Richard is still turning, his KZread channel is one of my favorites, I look forward to seeing his videos as much as yours ! Richard is a true gem, I miss the Utah turning symposiums , I have met so many wonderful people and turning professionals ,and learned so much through those trips.

I find these very appealing. Now that I’ve proven to myself that I can make something perfectly round, you’ve given me inspiration to branch out. Thank you!

Good to see Richard being mimicked, he certainly is the master

Great job Mike as always, love making these from smaller size timbers,great use for ofcuts when roughing out bowls. Love the blooper at the end,I have those all the time, should make a video with them 😅

Mike, Another great video. Your precision when inspecting your work reminds me to slow down and not hurry. Thanks. from a beginner with a midi-lathe.

Great video! really do like these long video formats that show the entire process (catches/skates in all)

I love watching and learning from your videos. Thank you!

Richard raffen has great videos, if you haven't seen/subscribed to him you really should!

Great video, lots of valuable detail presented very clearly. Definitely a fun project. I will certainly check out your other videos. Nice to see you acknowledge Richard 'The Master' Raffan.

Good work, cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Europe

Mike, Nicely done as always.

Hi Mike, when you say green wood what sort of moisture content are you saying, I didn’t see any wetness coming off the blank Great video mate thanks for the inspiration, im off to watch Richard Raffin video now 👊

This blank was about 25%. I'd recommend using anything 20% or higher moisture content.

Thanks!

Really enjoy the videos and look forward to making this project. May need to do a little basket illusion on the outside. Question for you, Mike: For this project, is there any reason why you could not use a Forstner bit and/or hollowing tools like the easy wood hollowers in this project? I have not done much hollowing, so I might be missing something.

Yes, you could use a few different ways to hollow out this vessel. The method Mike used takes out a lot quickly. Forstner bit of course takes out as much depending on the size, followed by smaller tools for cleaning up like the Easy Woodworking tools & other scrapers.

@@markb8954 Thanks. Like I indicated, I dont have a lot of experience with hollowing so I was not sure if I was missing something that is intuitive to others more experienced. Much appreciated.

You definitely could use a forstner bit to remove the bulk of material. Easy hollowers would work really well for these projects, the swan neck on those tools would make it easy to follow the form of the pots. -Mike

Great little project. Do you have the sizes of the blanks in mm?

@ramonaguirre1496

There are 24.5 mm per inch. 4 inches is about 100 mm.

The French scraper, is that the same as a negative rake scraper?

@CraftSuppliesUSA

French scrapers have a "French Curve" on the nose. Negative rake scrapers are ground with a top and bottom bevel.

How would Canary Wood work for this project?

Didn’t you say to match the angle of your dovetail jaws?

@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING

I noticed that, too. Tenon dovetail was a hair more acute than the jaws. I'm beginning to think that matching the angle precisely isn't as important as we've been taught. But I'm new at this, and my opinions change frequently.🤔

Good eye, the dovetail had just a bit more taper than needed. However the wood fibers will compress in the jaws enough to still maintain a proper grip. -Mike 😊
