I haven't had to remove a tenon from a bowl since I began making the tenon a 2-3 mm foot. I'll add your undercut rim to my growing repertoire. Thanks for another great lesson.
Nicely done Richard. It's always a pleasure and education to watch you turn. Interesting grind on the rim undercut tool. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
A lovely little elegant plate. Nice tips on the remounting, but with my skills I shall stay far away from that undercutting tool! Thanks for another entertaining and educational video.
Thanks for a great video. The color and grain of the Kauri pine was outstanding. Never saw a bowl gouge with uneven wings but your video showed the "why" the tool was ground that way. I was a bit uneasy with you using the scraper with the handle down. I would find it possibly resulting in a catch. I use it with the handle a bit up as a negative scraper. Cheers.
The essentiall rule when using scrapers flat on the rest is that the angle between the top of the tool and the surface you're cutting is less than 90° - the so-called negative rake. So on an internal curve you can drop the handle safely.
I don't think I used a square end scraper here. The skewed shear scraper used on the profile and across the base is 1"x ¼". The bowl scraper used inside is 32x9mm. The undercutter tool is 19x6mm.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Hi again, thanks very much for the explanation. I didn't realize there were 3 different tools used. I need to at least get one of those to clean up tool marks. Cheers
I’ve turned a lot of Kauri, including swamp kauri, over the 44 years I traded on ships sailing on ships to and from New Zealand and probably the best collection of kauri furniture in the UK. I’m sorry to say this bowl looks more like figured sycamore than the honey colour of kauri. However, it could be kauri from Australia or New Guinea which is a lot lighter.
Definitely not sycamore. This might be New Caledonia Kauri - it smells similar to some I turned a decade ago that was grown in the Sydney Botanic Gardens.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thanks for this. I never met anybody in NZ refer to Kauri as “kauri pine” although you hear it a lot in Queensland. I love turning Kauri, particularly swamp kauri. Anyway, many thanks for your very informative videos. Pity you cannot attach photos or I could show you some of my own work.
54 years of the ultimate experience at the click of a mouse for free! Amazing. Thank you Mr Raffan sir!
I have to agree, TH-cam at its very best
I really like that undercut Richard, it gives the bowl a nice classy look.

That was a good one, Richard.

Your comment about watching the four o'clock location is very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.
Beautiful bowl with amazing lesson in the process.
Hello and thank you from East Texas.
and from North Texas. I very much agree! Beautiful work. Thank you Richard.
That was a very fine garage sale to give such a beautiful piece of timber.
I thoroughly enjoy watching how you produce beautiful and useful items.
Lovely piece, Richard. That undercutting tool is interesting - I might have to get a suitable bit of HSS to experiment with! Thanks as always!
Thank you for all of your videos. I found them to be extremely helpful in learning to use the skew and gouges.
Really like the idea of having the chucking details as features of the piece. Those two tools you used to undercut the rim look quite useful.
Turned out beautifully!
A very nice dish.

@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thanks for that information. Old dog learned something today.
Another great demonstration by you.
Thanks Richard
Я ваш поклонник и подписчик, учусь на ваших роликах, но я только в начале пути до вашего мастерства мне далеко, творческих вам успехов!!!!
That’s a great tool 👍
Hi Richard, very good video thanks. Could i please ask what the diameter of the square end scraper is? Thanks Aaron

Hi Richard, can I ask how you created the recess for the shark jaws? It looked to be 60mm ish?
I drill holes for initial mountings over Shark Jaws using a drill press and a sawtooth Forstner drill bit.
I've been having trouble lately with the bottom inside of the bowl. I am creating divots. Any tips?
