Great to see you back on line, looking forward to your next posts.
Hey Frank. I'm looking forward to recording them for you. :-)
i thought your work is incredible best i have ever seen,i would never have thought of turning wood off center,or have i just had a sheltered life ,look forward to see more.thank you i will pass on your website
Hi Paul. Thanks for your kind comment. Turning off centre is brilliant fun. If you're going to play with it, move the piece a little off centre first, and then a little further etc with each piece, and remember to stand out the way...and always be as safe as possible.
All the best,
Martin
I'm not the first one to say it, but Good see you back Martin!
Looking forward to your next project!
All the best!
nice to see everything is back on track and you're turning again keep up the good work.
Great video Martin! 😁 Glad to have you back. The pieces look awesome...I really like the added plaques on the back. Sorry you had some hiccups the last few weeks. Hopefully everything is back on track & heading in the right direction. Now, if only we could figure out the darn shipping across the pond for the stains. 😣
Good to see you Martin,Really nice projects.Thanks for sharing.
Great to see you back Martin. The "earth" piece looks fantastic as do the brass plaques.
Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Cheers :-)
yay! favorite woodturner back on the air!! saw some of what you've been doing on Facebook, but it's always been your process that i've enjoyed watching. Looking forward to the ones you have in the pipe coming up!!
G'day Martin, thanks for the update mate. Looking forward to your next Ep.
Hi Martin. I just wanted to give you a public shout out for you helping me understand how to get the great shine, on my first try with HS High Gloss. Your hints were right on, and the finish is amazing. Thanks again.
Good to see sheen/colours flying out Martin,small but Growing! 😆😆
Getting there, Alan. Thank you. :-) From small acorns and all that!
Nice to hear from you again. Your setup has improved dramatically, congrats on that!
I really like the way you are presenting that piece on the brass stems... very classy.
+baconsoda Hi Brendan. Thank you. It was nearly just left standing on it's bottom without them. Decided to put in the extra effort to present it nicely. Very pleased I did.
All the best,
Martin
Good to see you back.
Thanks, Phil. Good to be back!
Good to see you again.
Hi Lars. Thank you. Good to be back again.
Glad you are back, you were missed
Nice to see you back, being missing the updates!
Nice to see you back Martin. I missed your videos. I was beginning to wonder what was happening but guessed you were very busy!
Regards
Mike B
Great to see you back Martin. Nice to see the metal post mounting technique used again lol. Hope you haven't forgotten the double rim bowl you said you'd do sometime.
Love the brass plauqes on your wonderful woodart. As I commented on one of your previous videos you can't beat getting your name out there to the general public. You put your soul into your art but if people don't know who created it they can't come back for more.
Not sure if I've put that the right way but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Sounds like you have had the same problems as me, my car broke, as you know, and was quickly followed by my computer packing up, both having to be replaced ! All the best, Jim
Nice to see you back from the storm. Sounds like a mix of good and not so good. But let the good prevail and forget the rest! Love the new HS HQ = more room = more stock = easier supply chain which is good for all us users eh?
Good to see you back. Looking forward to your next project.
Hi Jan. Thank you. :-)
I was starting to get concerned about you, Martin, glad to see you doing well. I hope to see you in Kansas City.
That is a striking piece.
Do what you can,
Cheers, Lee
No one going to mention ElDeathStar? Just me then! Great to see you back Martin!
if i lived there, or close by i would be able to help you in the shop...but there is a very big pond in the way....i knew you was busy up to your arm pits....so have a great day....
Looking forward to your next turning project. Also how you make and do you recordings.
Thanks, Geoff. I'll try to get two done next week!
All the best,
Martin
is that where the birds got in, have a great weekend mate, Dave
Hi Dave. The swallows came into the main workshop but I'm sure they'll eventually pay a visit to the HS HQ!
Have a great weekend yourself.
Martin
Good to see you back Martin and also good to see your new Hampshire Sheen setup. Out of interest, what is the loose-fill that you are using to pack the products for the post?
Just subscribed... very good to watch. And im in fareham 👍🏻haha.
I just love the fire pit, if only I had the money I would at your door.... talking of doors, I really hope your new process shed is well vented while you melt the waxes etc, I'm sure there are some unliked odours that shouldn't be sniffed at....I hope I'm wrong....
Hi Marc. Thanks for the comment. I'm well ventilated, yeah. Open vents across the top of the walls and nothing is made with the door closed. A fan will be installed though, when I get the electric put in. The vapours aren't horrifc smelling, just not very healthy!
All the best for now,
Martin
M. Saban Smith Woodturning hi Martin. I knew you were on the ball but the video of the shop didn't really show anything so I was just a bit worried. 👍🏼😊
The Ad Centrum Terrae is really attractive. I did wonder whether you you would ever show the ”propeller”. I met you briefly at Yandles on the Saturday and knowing the weight of the piece and it's centre of balance, the turn that you did was really impressive. You seemed cautious about promoting it at the time perhaps because of the safety issues. You do seem to be developing extensive knowledge of off centre turning and I wonder whether you would consider a section on the planning behind each of the pieces. I think that it is more than just 'plug it full of screws, start it slowly and keep your head out of the way'. Thanks,Glenn.
Hi Glenn. Thank you very much....I'm learning a lot about off centre and 'wonky' turning at the moment. The mounting method of the propeller piece will never be shown publicly - the safety police would have a fit, but take it from me that 150mm screws were used in places! Lol. I've changed the method for more recent pieces which is a lot safer, which I am happy to share on TH-cam. There's a video coming fairly soon that will show it...and another video which I will make sure I include a better section on the workings-out of the piece, as it is complicated for a simple design! And yeah....keep out the way!
All the best, and hope to see you at UKIWS in July or Yandles again in September.
Martin
Hi Martin,could you be so kind as to tell me where you get the extra pairs of hands you must need to do everything you do?
Keep up the good work.
Hi Gavin. Thanks for your kind comment. Most of the stuff I do myself, but do have help on the admin front and have a student who works on a Thursday afternoon for a couple of hours.
All the best,
Martin
great to see an update, where did you get the photography background? I'm currently considering a very similar setup.
Ditch the fluorescent light for your photos and get an LED light strip - it has a far better colour spectrum.
Hi Noeldc. Th fluorescent tube is great. It gives a nice even light across the background and the top of the piece. Thankfully, with a 10 background of pro photography, colour balancing in-camera is second nature. There is an LED panel above the lathe, which is fantastic. I'll put that into the 'How I Shoot a Video' video!¬
All the best,
Martin
I look forward to seeing it.
I've been turning for a few years now and I realy like your work and videos :-)
Wood you like some help for your french translation?
From France
Any progress with the Black Dog Workshop?
Whats the best kind of wood to start turning with ? I intend to book a one day course with you soon, when i can find time...
Hi Martin, just wanted to ask about film editing, what editing program do you use or would recommend to a beginner starting out on the you tube merry go round?
I thought you where doing a subliminal message at 8:49 😂 good to see you back
Thanks, Alan. No subliminal message - it's a flicker of text from an old template from the old PC...long story! Won't be there again!
All the best,
Martin
might be worth a try though. buy Hampshire sheen flashing up on screen 😉
hello! :D
Hello.
Nice video. Next week can you mention about how you make a living and how to start to make money. cheers looking forward to you next video
Hi Ollie. Thanks. I can mention it, yeah. If you take a look back through the Turner's Journey Episodes, there are a few episodes that cover that sort of thing....perhaps a video purely about it would be good.
if you have time that would be great Martin.👍
Please stop waffeling and get to the point
