I watch instructors turn on the lathe like this and remember an incident where a turning came apart and went right into the audience. That club now has a big plexiglass barrier for demonstrations. I recall hearing that since the time was short he had also brought his speed up and was cutting aggressively. Food for thought.

Thank you, very good instructions. The CA finish should last a long time. Where did you get your boring head from? That would be a handy thing to have around. Where do you get your metal inserts at also.

Sound on this video is atrocious, unwatchable. Better luck next time

What an amazing man!!! I am bummed that I never got to see him at Utah symposiums. I sure hope I can meet him in the coming years. What an amazing blessing your group has having him there.

I really enjoyed Dick Sings’ tips and tricks. My only negative comment is that the videography was not good. There were no good closeups of the jigs and tools that he had made.

That was a great meeting dick. Great information. One question though what type of metals do you use in making your tools? I didn't get a chance to ask last night. Thanks again Jeff Walsma of the dutchmans wood shack

This guy is great, slow and steady, but what a character. Thank you for posting this video. Great fun!

If you want the bowtie on the inside of the bowl to show, just adjust depth of cut to exceed final wall thickness and make your own bowties that are much taller than those. You will uncover the bowtie turning your wall thickness. Nice tutorial, thank you.

Well done, topic, presentation and delivery. Excellent. Thanks

Thank you for this demo. You don’t try and hide the crack, just keep it from getting worse. Nice decorative repair, and no epoxy

You're awesome girl...

Sorry that I was unable to attend. Lots of new ideas, which usually generate more questions. Enjoyed the demo very much.

Thank you from Wisconsin.

very goood video. I was trying to put a little unicorn in the middle, and make a flat bottom. I think you answered my question, glue it in before you do the second glue up. Thanks, Tommy

Instead of the metal rings and lids, I buy plastic canning jar lids from Ball or other suppliers in standard and/or wide mouth sizes. They come in white or colors. I turn the hole deep enough to bring the plastic lid flush. Last step is to glue in the plastic lid, and knobs and finials work just fine! Also, for speed, I use the right size forstner bit, then slightly increase the hole size. They come in both 3” and widemouth sizes.

Bill is a master at finishing, tool making.

Thank you Bob Bergstrum and Windy City Turners for posting a great overview of the various types of finishes and the different effects on woods. I learned quite a lot from this demo. There is so much to learn about wood finishes, their application, and durability depending upon what the intended use is of the turning. Looking forward to your demonstration on coloring. Thanks again!

A delightful video, it's a pleasure to watch such a skilled turner who clearly still enjoys his craft thank you for posting

Just gorgeous!

Good demo. My experience has been if you know your bowls are going to be in a moist environment, then do stand the grain up with a moist paper towel just prior to your final sanding.

Thanks so much for sharing! Love to learn new techniques for me !!!

Thank you for providing this content. I know it takes a lot of effort to create a video and you all are just volunteering your time for the benefit of folks on TH-cam. You showed better camera control and angles than what some of your in person members got. Much appreciated.

Great Job Bob, your such an artist.

Thanks so much for this informative video. I was sorryI missed the meeting because of travel, but delighted I could catch the video!

I have turned one pen about 10 years ago at a friend's shop and it was a lot of fun and it came good. Can I get a coy of your ppt? This is a very helpful video and since I bought a gentleman's Rikon lathe and pen parts, I'd like to get to turning safely. Are there good videos to watch or wood turners in Pecos, TX area? Thank you! Coach Al

No! No! No!

Audio is terrible!!! Can’t watch

What powder do you recommend!

Please note.. we all don’t the process of brown paper glueing

Can't watch audio terrible

I wish the video was better.

Pretty cool. I've thought a few times how to make a cross that is visible as a cross from all directions. This looks like the answer!

Question, is there any reason not to use a lathe chuck in this application? I would think the chuck would be a safer alternative than a drive center.

This is amazing! Simple but the outcome looks difficult! I appreciate you sharing!

As others have said, the poor quality camera work REALLY detracted from the content. When in focus on the finial work, it was great, but didn’t last long. Soooo, good content. Take a club donation & at least get a $10.00 tripod.

Thanks for this! I've been trying to use forstner bits to make the wood blank but can't get a good fit to the ring core. This video has helped me a ton. You guys rock!

I'm confused about how the cross shape was made. Very cool stuff!

Thanks for sharing they are beautiful 😊

Amazing craftsman ship for toilet paper lol

Very poor sound

Mark, I haven't used a lathe yet and I am interested in turning pens now that I am retired. I have a lathe given to me and I have several questions. You mentioned in this video that you would be happy to answer any questions. Is this the forum or do you have an email or website>

This guy is lecturing like he is annoyed, and frustrated with having to say the same things over and over for 20 years.

Great explanations re tool use thankyou

This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Still trying to wrap my head around the cross. I get that the ends of the trough would be done with either a parting tool or Satan's can opener (skew) but are the arms done further into the wood? I guess I'll try some stuff on the lathe tomorrow to see.

Excellent demonstration and craftsmanship, thank you.

Quick question. I am very much an amateur woodworker and am trying to do some inside out Christmas ornaments. I have some good hard wood, but wanted to practice on 2x4s first in order to get some practice. I just tried it and the head stock created a huge hole in no time and the entire piece came loose. This happened twice. Am I doing something wrong or are 2x4s just not good enough wood to practice on?

Great video. I would really like to do the inside out with 3 pieces. Can you give me more information on how you setup the table saw?.

Could you use small zip ties to hold the pieces for the first turning?

Bravo 👏
