- I'd never made a wig stand, so you get a good insight into my design process for a new project and each of the three parts, then how those parts are refined as they come together. I also have to come to terms with less-than-ideal partly-rotted blanks. There’s a lot of re-chucking.
4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on TH-cam at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Here are links to the other videos.

Awsome work Richard, real beauty 👍
Great work - and the „next generation“ sock saves my day 😂
I like the detailed project shots at the end, Richard.
No matter what he turns Richard Raffan is amazing 😍
The timber that you opted to use is besutiful
I recently completed my first wig stand , for my turners club challenge . Our completed stands are donated to a local charity that donates wigs and stands , to women undergoing chemo , our group was highlighted by local TV station , for both the wig stands , and turned full size curling stones to be used as commerative trophies for local curling clubs annual tourney
I love hour shop made tenon gauge and will have to make several
Watched all four and found that each of you did fine work and quite unique from each other. Have you all thought about donating these projects to local cancer units for loan to patients undergoing chemo? It would have been also interesting to see one made of entirely a single piece. I look forward to the four way projects each month. Thanks all.
Richard, that piece of timber is absolutely awesome. The shape and finish is perfect. You have certainly done this project proud. Quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 Now I am off to see what Mike and Tomislav have done. I saw Sam's before yours.
Very nice design, I really like the hollowing of the top that you did, it definitely adds visual appeal. I had to look up Sally Wattle, that is a beautiful species of wood. So far I have watched 3 of the 4 videos and each of you has taken very different approaches to this very unique project. Now to watch the instigator's (Mike Peace) take on this project. Thanks again for all of you doing these videos; seeing the different design approaches for the same project is really enlightening and helpful.
I was being lined up to do so much this Saturday morning, and then "four ways" shows up. What a treat. Thanks for posting...Not so much from my wife.
I am so glad that this was the project this month. My guild is doing these to donate to a local Cancer Support Organization and the Demo I did back in July the audio didn't come through. I have sent links to all 4 of the videos so people can decide how they want to make them. Thank You!
Beautiful wood, elegant design, expertly crafted. I don't have much use for a wig stand but it sure would look nice on my shelf as a conversation piece.
Do you wear a hat...
Touche!@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
Really nice work fella, it's really entertaining seeing something so nice made from raw materials.
That piece of board vibrating on the shelf was doing my knapper in though
The board will be replaced by a heavier version.
That ready turned out great. Liked all the details.
Beautiful wig stand Richard.
Bonjour Richard. C'est une magnifique pièce que vous avez tourné,cela vaut le coup d'oeil.👍
Nice work Richard. I love the grain in the wood.
Very nice work.
It’s beautiful Richard, thanks for sharing
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work ❤
Love it, great job!!
I have a new screen saver, Richard Raffan in a paper cap!
the first thing i would do is get ride of that blasted peace of wood !!!!! :) great video sir we (sioux land wood turners) are making wig stands for this months project and giving them away too the local cancer center
The blasted dust hood top didn't affect me at all being out of my line of sight. I was more than a bit shocked to see how it intruded on the video. It'll be replaced with a heavier piece.
Love it!
Holy Syrup of Figs! I like it.
I love to watch you work. That is an amazing piece. Could you take some of that black shelf liner that you used to protect the end for the glue up and attach it to the bottom of your plywood dust collection box to keep it from moving in on you when you get some vibration?
Most of the time I don't notice the moving top to the dust hood until it has to be moved back. I need it to slide easily when it's holding heavy stuff and I can't easily lift it, so a heavier board will be the answer to limit it's travelling ability.
Excellent effort for not knowing about a wig stand. It has style. Fun watching you think, design and adjust as you go.
Please tell us more about Sally Wattle. What are its physical and turning characteristics?
Acacia melanoxylon, also known as Tasmanian blackwood. Very similar to koa. Mostly excellent to work, especially when grown on red basalt.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Does it have insect or rot issues?
@@kenvasko2285 The blanks came from a billet with the incipient rot you see but not accommodating any live insects. I don't anticipate any longterm problems.
Richard your not going to start wearing a wig mate????? Well if you do be carful lit doesn’t get caught up in the chuck😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great work your channel has been a big help to me👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Certainly not!! - although it might render me incognito in some situations.
Very nice! Our club did a bunch of them a couple years ago, and the local cancer center is still handing them out. Will we be seeing you in Portland, Oregon this May for the AAW national symposium? I know you are not traveling much, but hope you will be able to join us.
I won't be in Portland much as I'd enjoy catching up with people. The round trip would be at least $6000 which is more than I can justify.... Travel insurance is a killer at my age.
Nice bit of suspense, with the cover of your extractor constantly trying to get into shot. I guess it's been feeling under appreciated.😂
I was unaware of it most of the time.... it needs to be heavier.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning Maybe if you stuck some thin strips of sandpaper to the tops of the side pieces, the top itself might not slide around so easily.
@@WhoGnu08 The top needs to slide as it often has heavy stuff on it. Earlier models had locating strips and locating screws.
Never seen that species before. Quite something, for sure.
Richard: I'd like to ask a question about box making. I've studied you book and video on box making and have enjoyed making boxes for years as a result of these. I have always used dried, end grain wood to get the best lid fit as possible, and with good success. Lately, I've been using kiln dried face grain woods (for reasons not worth going into) and getting a good long lasting lid fit seems impossible. Weeks after bring the box inside, I can hand sand the "high spots" on the flange to try to get a good fit with the lid on the base in any orientation, but this doesn't last too long and I back to a loose or tight fit depending on where the lid is on the base. Bottom line, is it possible to get a good fit with kiln dried face grain wood? Thanks so much for your contribution to our craft. Ned
I never use crossgrain blanks for boxes with suction-fit lids because wood movement is inevitable. Kiln-dried or not, the lid and base will distort slightly with seasonal changes in humidity. As you've probably found, loose lids on distorted crossgrain boxes can often twist and lock, which usually impresses non-turners.
Hang on, Richard. Who needs a wig stand? 😁

Women who lost hair because of cancer treatment. I made a couple of them for my local cancer treatment center. Satisfying.
This is for a barrister's wig.
From 1:11 to 2:55 there is a rather impressive levitating egg.
You mean the knob on my knock-out bar to the right?
Could be! It's hovering right at the end of the lathe bed. By the most leftward leg. Might be egg shaped, or look elliptical due to the viewing angle. Has a sort of beechy shade to it.
@@richardhefty It's a bun-shaped box elder knob around 75mm diameter.
i really enjoy your videos but i struggle a little with the volume. if i have it high enough to hear your voice then the sound of cutting is too loud - would this be something you can adjust with your mic placement? These 4 ways videos are great - please keep posting. Great camera work at the very end - thank you
There is an ongoing problem with some woods producing more noise as cutting proceeds. It's a health hazard as well as frustrating for inept sound recordists like myself. Any suggestions to improve the sound are gratefully received via www.richardraffan.com.au/contact/.
Hi Richard, I’m wondering if you added something to the epoxy as a thickener for the weak wood areas?
I should have mentioned that I usually mix in some very fine African blackwood powder with 10-minute epoxy. Coffee grounds or powder paint are a good substitute.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning
Thanks for the info.
I’ve used carbon black I collect with sandpaper from an old water filter.
Are you guys planning to release projects on some type of video other than TH-cam thanks for the ideas and methods
Before the advent of TH-cam, the videos I made with Taunton Press sold well and helped thousands of turners learn the basics of turning wood. www.richardraffan.com.au/books-and-dvds/. TH-cam has killed video sales and hasn't done much to promote my books that provide far more detail than these videos. So I'm not planning other videos elsewhere.
@RichardRaffanwoodturning , I am one of those who learned woodturning from your books and videos. Now I continue to learn from you through these TH-cam videos. Thank you very much.
@lorriebuxton2041 I do not understand the question. Do you mean like Facebook? We have no plans to change from YT as it seems to be a great platform for this collaboration series. But we might be open to suggestions if it makes sense.
A very interesting project for you guys to try might be a wooden hat
I don't have a lathe big enough to turn a wearable hat. It's just a thin bowl with a wide rim that make turning the bowl part easier.
Richard- I’m a novice turner. Could you have jammed the pillar into the base and turned between centers in order to ease the seam between bowl/pillar?
Thank you, I enjoy and learn from your videos.
@@dianeewoldt3035 The pillar needs to be turned first so there are tenons to fit into holes in the base and head. The three blanks could then be assembled and turned as a whole but you'd then be dealing with different grain directions. I find this is approach works and disguises any movement that occurs.
To begin with i thought you had accidentally put this video on TH-cam a month to early😂
Da ging ja vieles schief, immer zu groß die Bohrungen.
Das ist das Element des Unterrichtens. Die Menschen müssen sehen, was zu tun ist, wenn die Dinge nicht ganz richtig laufen, was bei den meisten Menschen am häufigsten der Fall ist.
That's the element of teaching. People need to see what to do when things don't go quite right, which is what happens most of the time for most people.
