Thanks Tommi, really good video. Love your work. I am now using scrapers on almost all my bowl work thanks to watching you and Richard. Like all tools they have to be sharp though
You provided lots of good detailed information, Tomi. I made my DIY "Enforcer" after watching you and Richard use it and it has become one of my favorite scrapers.
As a more one-off turner, it is so good understanding how a production turner approaches the work! I really appreciate these videos. I never miss one and learn something every Time!
I honestly never learned to use the scrapper as part of my process until watching your videos. I now quite enjoy using them and find I’m getting better and better at it and my surfaces are improving. Thanks.
Really enjoy your vids Tomislav. Well photographed and you always give a practical down to earth commentary. I have to add that i am something of a fan of Richard Raffen for similar reasons. I have a question - why do you power sand the outer surface of the platter and inertia sand the rest? Please keep up the vids.
The uniformity of your set is quite nice. On a side note I have been using a much smaller bead/dome detail for awhile also on my bowls. I was looking for something different from the "standard" V grooves. It looks clean and nice on the plates.
Excellent design, Tomislav. I had a question but forgot it. Okay, I have been sitting here for 3 minutes and it finally came back to me. It was simply about the pace that you work. We've seen how quickly you can go, and I've picked up my rate thanks to your instruction. But, if you were just doing this without making a video would this be twice as long as it would normally take you or how much less time do you need for something like this where the camera is not rolling?
Hi Jason, glad you remember the question, filming I would say slow me down maybe 25%, due to camera moving, adjusting focus, and big factor is when I'm not filming its just different mind set, so like in an hour I would rough turn these, and after they had time to rest, I would do all the bottoms first. Usually in an hour and half I would have bottoms done a another let say 2 hours to finish top and edges,inspect everything that is ok and oil... sometimes of course time may vari as wood have some defect to fill or something like that.... But for videos I do slow down a bit and enjoy the process... hope that answers it. P.s. I finally finished Mike's video, great design insight...really different and I really enjoy it
@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you for the competed reply. It makes me glad to know my pace isn't too bad, by my own standards. My videographer has had another month of semi-retired work so we expect to start, soon. I did the intro the other day and just heard back from him that the first edit is done, so we're underway and I feel ready. Doing this makes me appreciate all the considerations you have in making quality videos. Yes, this Sunday Mike has an open shop/studio and I look forward to stopping in and seeing what inspiration I might gain from his newest work. He certainly helped me to think in new creative ways. Have a great day.
After about a month I'm delighted to be able to comment on your videos again. I changed browsers and has a Fight to recover my Google password. However I'm back. I enjoyed this video very much and I can assure you I'm going to make a Square Platter sometime soon
Could you turn a lampshade or a hat out of wood. I’d really like to see that. I’ve turned a hat, you have to use very green wood and then bend it while still wet to get the shape you want. Mine didn’t turn out that good. That’s the problem with following books and articles . Could be a good 4 ways project.
Hi Tomislav. I may have missed this but are your signature tools available yet? Great videos by the way. I have been a Richard Raffan fan for years and still am but your vids are very detailed helpful and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Tomislav. I'm new at this and I learn a lot from each of your videos. Is that "refiner" your own grind of a bowl scraper, or is it an off-the-shelf tool I can get somewhere?
Thank you sir,its my signature scraper, very shortly it will be available to buy through me and I'll offer sharpening and if some will want I can prepare tool the way I use it so you'll be able to see how nice scraper can work.😀
Great video as always. Just one question - at 20mins in, are you holding the bowl gouge (handle down) at 45 degrees or is it 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the face of the plate? cant tell how you're holding the gouge or how you're moving your body when the camera is in so close.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning would be nice to see a video from a wider angle once in a while - just to see how you're positioning your body and also where your right hand is in relation to the height of the banjo... just some food for thought in later videos.
Beautiful set tomislav thanks for sharing buddy,
Will👍🙂
Thanks Tommi, really good video. Love your work. I am now using scrapers on almost all my bowl work thanks to watching you and Richard. Like all tools they have to be sharp though
That is true,without burr scraper won't be effective, glad to help out

Love your name >enforcer< ,thank you Mike
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I meant "Refiner" but I forgot what you called it.

Thank you Tony
A very nice set, and you explained the steps to get there very clearly. Thanks for another fine video.
Thank you
Very nice set. Appreciated seeing the details of turning the square plates.
I honestly never learned to use the scrapper as part of my process until watching your videos. I now quite enjoy using them and find I’m getting better and better at it and my surfaces are improving. Thanks.
Awesome to hear that sir
Well done. Six beautiful sets. I would be proud to have them on my table. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂.
Thank you sir
Thank you. Picked up a couple pointers. I enjoy turning square plates. Your treatment of the center of the recess helps a lot.
I love watching you turn thanks for another great four way video. Off to see the other three.
🕶very nice Tomislav. Very helpful tutorial. Thanks

Thank you very much,the reason why is mostly as its faster and easiest due to wings flying around
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Thank you soo much
Another superb video. I wish you lived closer!!
Thank you sir
The first one is the easiest. Copying that into the others is very hard. Nicely done! And thank you for the great tips and tricks.
I always try to do them in single day so they are consistent
Great demonstration Thomislav.
Nice work, Tomislav.

Thank you, it sure does look nicer in my opinion 😃
Nice job! Thanks for sharing
thanks a lot Tomislav!! very clear and usefull.

Hi Tomislav. I may have missed this but are your signature tools available yet?
Great videos by the way. I have been a Richard Raffan fan for years and still am but your vids are very detailed helpful and easy to follow.
Keep up the great work!
In few days there will be a release of tools and I'll announce it on all my social media 😀
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning that's great! Thank you

Its cherry thanks for watching

Handle is lower but the gouge is in such a way that the bevel is important where it points,that is your steering wheel and guide

Boy! Watch out for those wings (corners), they can be really dangerous!
Is there any news on the supply of your refiner?
Yes yes, in couple of days I'll announce everything, days to official launch
