Thank you for your comments, Vickie. I did consider doing some burning and coloring on this piece, but then I decided, as you point out, this wood was already figured beautifully.

Hi Rick, You do get the new shot first and are the gold standard of camera and video work. I love your sense of humor, too. Great work. Love this piece too. 😊❤️🪵

The tools in your shop had a workout this time. No problem justifying the purchases of the unique contraptions. That halo one looks like it came from a brain surgeon! No "Total Boat" finish for this one? The shine was incredible with the wipe on. Definitely a great choice. Another "easy" looking video that I know is not easy. Thanks for educating those of us who have much to learn.

Hi, Cathy. I’ll probably use the Total Boat varnish again, but I haven’t been tremendously impressed so far. It may be my fault - I think I might be putting it on too heavy. This is the best finish I’ve gotten from the Watco wiping varnish. This finish turned out much better than I expected. It was only three coats, sanded between each with 600 grit.

Lovely piece Rick👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yours was the very first channel I found when I learnt to use KZread last year during our first UK lockdown. You truly helped me not go mad under the restrictions. I was already restricted due to ill health but to have the final two sources for socialising, my choral society and church, taken away was very hard. Your lovely, quirky somewhat barmy sense of humour has been a balm whilst appreciating your wonderfully imaginative skills on the lathe and recently with paint and burner too. As you can guess I only just learnt how to like and comment aswell! So thank you and keep up the good work, stay safe, all the best.

I’m not exactly sure why the piece is slightly off-center when reverse into the chuck. Probably due to some slight play in the jaws. I’ve always noticed that, and that’s why I never finish the exterior immediately after I turn it. The difference is pretty small, but I find it annoying and so turn it again.

Beautiful looking bowl Rick! Always like the camera work you do. I like the finish so I think I will get some of the Ack's Polishing Paste that you use over the wipe on poly. I think I would prefer some commentary during the video rather than the silent videos that you now do but a silent Rick Turns video is better than no Rick Turns video at all.😊

@RickTurnsWoodturning

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Tom. The finish was more a result of the Watco wiping varnish than the polishing paste - it looked just as good before I put on the paste. I was hoping the paste would get rid of some of the dust bits that had settled on the bowl as it was drying. Didn’t really do that. Maybe I should have used the Ack’s abrasive paste first. So far, my plan to increase my view count by not talking and doing better videography has been a failure. I’m considering doing voice-over instead of closed captions - I think the captions might be a little distracting.
