These two videos are very educational. As a beginning turner and also using only carbide tipped tools that one video was particularly interesting to me. Great job!
That was interesting to watch, especially in comparison. I think I need to finally commit to flipping my inserts. I do not think they are still that sharp after all that OSB. And I somehow missed that there is a micro version of the detailer, too! Thanks for sharing, Darryl!
Thanks for posting such a great demo of how to use carbide tools for this delicate work. The techniques and pointers you shared were immensely helpful to me in turning tops with micro carbide tools. Any recommendation regarding optimal rpm for finial work, for the shaping work? How about for the sanding phase? Thanks again!
Thank you. I typically turn these between 1700 and 2000 rpm yo get the cleanest cuts. I always slow it way down for sanding typically between 500 and 700 rpm. Hope this helps.
Thanks for making this, I have always struggled with finials, this will definitely help me, Chuck
Good work
The finesse that you use when making these is great.
Gorgeous little finial...you are a master!
Beautiful work!
That turned out beautifully Darryl, the carbide tools did a great job my friend.
Take care
Mike

This is amazing
Beautiful finial!! I need to start practicing to make these. Thanks for the demo!!
Fantastic sir!
Lovely job! It's a delicate but rewarding business, turning finials, I find. Great fun though! :D
Very nice. Thank You.

Man if I ever get back to the states... you gonna have to teach me some lathe stuff... lol (will shout yah a beer... lol)
How to turn a finial: Put wood in lathe. Now, remove anything that is not part of the finial. The end.
