As a professional turner, it is a pleasure to be able to share some of my projects with you.
I keep these presentations as short as possible whilst giving as much information as I can in the time available. Not everything can make it into each video though, so they should be treated as a demonstration rather than a lesson, though there is much to be learned from each one, I'm sure. Some of the projects are suitable for beginners, whilst others are more advanced.
Some of the projects include a items that are for sale from my website, such as project instructions or extended versions of the videos with even more information included. Also, the range of finishes I use is made by my business, Hampshire Sheen. So don't be surprised if you hear that name cropping up regularly.

Having had some recent problems with my feet I suddenly realised that I needed a foot roller. Then realised I could probably turn one. So I googled it. Guess which video came up first?! How have I never seen this video???
No idea mate! Thanks for watching!
This is very cool. I wonder though if you could have turned the hole for the candle whilst it was ‘inside out’? I ask this because if so, once it’s together the correct way you could have made a small hole under the candle for a magnet to sit in. Then, place another magnet in the base but with the same pole pointing towards the other magnet so that when you put the two pieces together the upper piece has just enough separation and ‘float’ to be able to spin. That would be awesome!
How long is the blank that u turn
Thanks! made a very similar one, but with a tenon on the base to stand on
❤❤❤ ❤❤ ditto everyone's postive comments .Great
Martin what a great bowl,your effort produced a craftsman masterpiece. Hope the lady enjoyed her bowl. Mate I felt for you dropped it but a true perfectionist fixes their errors. Stunning may thanks
I don't know if my method is used by woodturners to remove a tenon instead of using an "adjustable jaws set". I've made a concave cone (and a convexe cone) which can be fitted in a chuck as a driver. I take the finished piece of wood between the cone (with cloth to protect it) and the tailstock with a fine tip. So I can remove almost the whole tenon, the rest is removed easely afterward. It works very well, no vibrations, no risk of ejection of the piece of wood, almost all pieces of wood can be fitted in a cone.
😮 Martin, I have watched you working, I am in awe of your skill and confused. You spray black on some projects and then sand right back - why? Secondly you again use black, when using paints, but you do not sand at all - why?
What made you choose this kind of outside - I think an O G is much more attractive and elegant. Or do you think it is too advanced of begginers. Have a great one! Phil
I would recommend getting used to turn the more simple shapes first and moving the tool in one direction. And Ogee requires a change in body movement to keep the tool presented well throughout the cut. It shouldn't take long at all to get used to simple shapes, the progress from there. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your prompt reply. I did ask you where I can get some DRY wood blanks from (Not Amazon please) for making bowls and small boxes. Maybe my message got lots. Thanks Phil
@@msabansmith I am really enjoying your videos and learing lots. Sorry I think our messages are getting cross in the ether somewhere. Where can i buy DRY wood blanks for maing bowls and small boxes please. Not Amazon - I don't care for their ethos. Thanks - Phil
Thank you.
Love your owl! Following your creative works Wishing you the best. David
I am in the USA. Thought I would say that I enjoy watching your channel.Been watching for a while and your narrative is easy to listen to and not over bearing. Jim's wood shop.
Ciao ...bel lavorò...dove posso trovare quel jig?
Hi Martin. Me again :) Miss me? LOL....what are the dimension of your top? (No pun intended. Thank you.
Did it crack…….?????
Nope. All good.
I get and I am impressed by the texture and colors much like Stewart f But on a green blank? Guessing that you also enjoy what nature will do to your piece Either way Props to you
oh lord the most basic studio photography tips, wonder what will be next on the list in the future "mobile phone penis photography for dating apps"
What's the orange blob on the right of the things journaling photo of ?. Great tips thankyoj.
This perhaps? kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKiOytxthrzKeqg.html
Great job, you make both watching and listening to you easy to follow and understand. Funny question, can one use car wax when finishing a piece?
Don't know if you are still monitoring your channel, but that was a great video. Thank you for your time. I do have a question, when you get to the point and part the top off, it seems that the "point" would go away...is there enough left to spin effectively?
Yeah, still here. Very busy with other work. Thanks for watching. Yes, there's enough to spin, particularly if you turn the point first (to the right of the piece) and then part off at the top of the handle.
@@msabansmith thank you so much. Again. Great video...I have indeed liked, subscribed and shared :) LOL
Thank you. I do have plans for more videos this year. Time is not my friend with the other side of the business being so busy at the moment. Still, I'll not complaining about being busy!! Lol
Can't find ANY details re where to buy these products. Anywhere.
If you are looking for the bits for the necklace, search for 'jewellery findings' on eBay or Amazon. Thousands will appear. Just found 220,000 results on eBay.
2024...great info,skill. Enjoyed watching Started my first one today. I made the bottom too v shape.
You look so much like Heath Ledger it's crazy
Lol. Thanks, I think!
this vid was so helpful, excellent advice! just perfect for photographing my wooden items using the phone too 👍👍 id never have thought about taking 1.1 pics, always used 16.9 and struggled massively
Have you ever used two light bars (or other light source) to help with shadow control?
All the time, yes
Thank you this really helped but i have a little problem when i take the pictures even though the background is clean,in the photos there are little dirt places,what can i do them to go away? (The background is clear.)
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 🌞
Beautiful bowl thanks for sharing 😮
Please, some other shops selling this kind of light box? It seems to be discontinued from Amazon? Thank you!
Very useful information and well presented
It looks great.
Best instructional video yet really loved it, as a new turner learned a lot. The problem you had with the live center disappearing into the vase was nicely solved. However I have a question, could you have turned the vase first and then drilled the hole, many thanks.
2024. Mushrooms are thenewha hot home decor. Wood ones hobby lobby, all sorts, towels, canisters.. Love your approach ❤
What is the brand name of the sander
Wie wird die Spitze, nach dem abstechen, weiter bearbeitet? Danke.
Danke für die Frage. Ich habe es mit der Hand geschliffen. Ich habe darauf geachtet, dass der Punkt, an dem sich das Oberteil dreht, gedreht wird und nur der obere Teil, den man zum Drehen hält, geschliffen wird.
Great an Englishman. No offence to our international brothers, just need local experience for u.k buying.
It's not difficult to find the products mentioned in most countries. And if you don't like English presenters, I am sure there are turners in your country producing videos.
Thanks good stuff.
Time to break away from the canvas! Hahahaha✌🏼👊🏼
I have been wanting to airbrush on a bowl some art work! You beat me to it. Lol Now I absolutely will! Thanks Mark! Cheers dude!
I am attempting to use my pancake compressor and can't get enough pressure to hold wood. Any reccomendations?
Thank you Martin! Your shared experience on smartphones & soft boxes was very helpful .
Merci de French pour ce partage
This helped me alot, made my first one but it wasn't great, I'll keep practicing lol, thank you
Thank you so much for this Video. I thought about to use those Rusty Colours , but i dont know to use it. Now i dare to give it a tryout . Happy New Year to you .,
Well done, combining the two art forms makes a unique piece!
I have watched your channel for sometime and like the projects you have made. I will continue to watch . Keep up the good work. Jim's wood shop.
Sweet of you to add extra prizes. Hope each of the winners enjoy their prizes!
