- Hi everyone in this video im going to show how i make square platter out of 7" square blank, i hope you like it and helps you if you have same thing in mind to make.
That is a beautiful piece of timber. That grain! Nice job. I think you really did that gorgeous piece of wood a lot of justice. It was born to be a platter.
:) thank you im glad you liked the video thanks for watching and your support!
Another wonderful turning. The wood grain and finish so nice.
:D thank you Bill glad you liked it!
Good looking platter like your video.
:) thank you Allan!
Beautiful job. Afshin you make it look so easy.
:) thank you George, they key is to look at the ghost form of the wood when its turning then you know when your're close to edge :) everything becomes easy with practice my friend.
Another wonderful piece Afshin - the skill you exhibit in developing a very attractive platter from a somewhat limited by size piece of wood is amazing. The grain on this piece is indeed as you say outstanding. Great job of turning it into a very usable and beautiful item. I very much appreciate your videos they are an inspiration to me. Ian Mathison
Ian your very kind my friend i appreciate your time watching my videos and im glad you find them ineteresting it means alot to me when i read these comment and keeps me going knowing that its at least useful to some people :) so thank you from bottom of my heart.

:) thank you my friend!
You had me at Olive, my absolute favorite wood in the world.
:D glad you liked it, i love the smell of this wood when your turning it, no other wood is the same!
Beautiful as always.
;D thank you my froend!
Afshin this Spanish Olive wood is awesome and breathtakingly stunning, the grain is alive and spectacular. Your work is fantastic youngman.
:D thank you Kobie im glad you liked it i love this wood too and ill try get more of it for future project.
It's beautiful. Wonderful figure!
I have turned square pieces and I don't know if this is a recommended practice but I use a bath sponge with sandpaper wrapped around it for sanding and with a polishing cloth wrapped around it for applying finish and buffing. It seems to work okay and the state of the bath sponge after a few uses (it is now quite ragged) gives a good indication of what it could do to fingers if you catch the corners. It's a pretty safe method as the fingers don't come anywhere close to the spinning piece. Also, because the sponge has a degree of spring, it applies just enough pressure to give a decent finish. It does get snatched out of my hand occasionally but better that than losing fingers.
That it Ron you got good method and i would agree with you that its better than risking your finger however i will let these things up to turner because whoever attempt these piece will be experience enough like yourself to be creative and come up with safe way to handle the task :)
Thank You Afshin...That is a beautiful platter...Olive wood is very unique ...You did a great step by step explaining of how to make a square form and the finishing...great !!! and different ...thanks...tm
Hey Jeff! thanks for watching my friend and i agree with you olive is special and i love the smell of it when turning its unique!
Just an absolute beautiful piece Afshin! I've watched your videos for about a year and a half now and to see just how much your skillset has matured is truly awesome. You display such great patience with your turning and I honestly believe that could now give some of the big name turners out there a run for their money. Keep up the great work. Thanks, Mike...
:) thank you so much Mike for watching my content for that long i appreciate it :)your very kind my friend,
I love the fact that you set a goal and did just that!!
Very impressive!

The grain is amazing! Those buffing wheels gave it a lovely finish. Beautiful piece, Afshin!
:D hey Cara! they're amazing first time i used it i was shocked how much of difference they made, thanks for watching my friend.
I know it is quite off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Joshua Yousef try FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

Really nice job Afshin. The polishing system bring out the wood grain and I am sure that it feels as smooth as it looks. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Wonderful turning, Afshin and another stunningly beautiful piece of wood. I recently bought the Chestnut buffing kit but haven't tried it yet. I hope to do so soon.
:D thank you Alan for watching and i hope you get a chance to use your kit it will make so much difference!
Hi Afshin,
Good job, that is some seriously beautiful wood. You did very well on that!
Regards
Lars
Thank you Lars i appreciate your time watching :)
Another one to be proud of. I’m going to look up that Chestnut buffing kit now.
thank you my friend its actually a gift for my friend's birthday :) btw you cant go wrong with that buffing kit you'll see massive improvement in whatever you use it on as long as you dont put too much pressure when buffing!
Are all of those finishes and waxes food safe? Beautiful platter with such gorgeous grain!
yes Perry they are, thanks for watching!
Bomb👍👍👍
:D
Hey Afshin, bet I can't guess who you bought that olive wood from 😊 Beautiful platter my friend, yet again another informative and great video! Always a pleasure to watch. Take care and look forward to your next video. ☺👍
Hey Angus! :D hehe yeah we both know who sell the good stuff wink wink thanks for watching my friend!
@@CraftWithAfshin 😂😂
I see you're using a fibre washer to prevent the chuck jamming on the spindle. One turner on here said it was a bad idea as it would cause vibration !!!!! Yeah, honest 😊
I've been using it since the 70's!
last year i wasnt using that fiber washer and let me tell you i i wont use a chuck without it now so yeah let them say whatever they want people should always experiment themself and come to conclusion themself and not by what people say.
You live near a nightclub or in town Afshin...?
lol i live near leisure center did you hear music in background?
@@CraftWithAfshin
Yeah...
I thought you were in Birmingham city centre or summat...
@@glennmoreland6457 lol nah its just them people working out with music blasting off i try to not record when they are playing but sometimes i cant since i like to start turning in morning so i can finish a project by evening.
Lovely job 🤘... Btw how is your new lathe? Are you happy with it? Maybe there will be one of these in my future.... Cheers... instagram.com/adampinson
