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???

    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!

    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?

    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!

    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?

  • @msabansmith
    @msabansmith2 ай бұрын

    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.
