Thank you TheWorldYouDontKnow. Being able to put videos together as part of my 'job' to inspire other turners is such a pleasure and a privilege. I am so pleased you enjoy them and have started woodturning. All the best, Martin
A beautiful piece Martin, and it looks like you are happy with the hollowing system too. My hollow forms have a habit of being in more than on piece on occasions ;) Cheers Mike PS - Thanks for the mention too :)
and another belting piece of the lathe,call me old fashioned but i think i take after my dad and cant bring myself to colour the grain of a really nice timber,thats just me, and the really good turners also get catches exellent work martin.
Hi Martin, not really into colours, but after every piece you colour I'm gobsmacked by the result, beautiful mate! Must try some soon, lovely piece, thanks for sharing! ATB Shaun
Yet again a real informative video Martin, THANKYOU for the tin of wax, this tin is so much different to the other. So turners if you want a brilliant finish for your wood project look no further.
Thanks for your comment, Robert. Glad you enjoyed the video. I am using an Axminster lathe now, but still have the Galaxi - it's just in a different position in the workshop. All the best, Martin
Love the vase,the colours are beautiful.I'm just learning to wood turn but would like to try colouring.Have you done a video about adding colour?what to use.Thanks

New Subscriber. A couple of questions on environment: you don’t appear to use any form of dust collection; why is that? Additionally, why do you use protective glasses on some projects and a protective helmet on others? Brief back story: 45 years ago I was going to train as a carpenter, but the funding for the apprenticeship fell through, so my career took a different path. Now I’ve just taken early retirement, so I’m going to finally live my dream of working with wood. Putting together a work space and equipment at this very moment, so any help on the above questions would be so helpful. Just one more thing, if I’m not being too cheeky, what brand of chisels would you recommend? Keep on creatively turning my friend because you have a hungry and appreciative new subscriber. You are a true natural with the camera!
Martin, I feel I may be being drawn i to coloring although just getting good any lathe time would be good just now. I'm interested in your chuck jaws used for this one. Are they simply parallel but with gripping ridges/teeth? they look very grippy and reassuring!
M. Saban Smith Woodturning I’m sure you can tell I’m new to this but how do you stop the colours from bleeding into an area that you don’t want it to go. Sorry to be a nuisance.
Good question. Most of the time, I go to colour an entire piece. It is difficult to keep colours from bleeding on a medium that is made up of tubes. Options you can try would be a stencil, masking tape or sealing the part you don't want colour. In the past, I've used a stencil/mask to cover the non-coloured area and then used an airbrush to apply the colour.
Very good. I particularly like the top of the piece where the lighter colours let the wood come through a little more. I was not liking the base until you removed it right at the end, thank goodness. I really need to be more adventurous on light wood with colour, perhaps with a piece of holly which you know I have.
Great video Martin, I like the bright colors. I'm glad that you applied a shinny finish.It is outstanding but I am curious as to what happened with your DVR lathe,
M. Saban Smith Woodturning You're welcome 😊. If you ever make it to Blanchester Ohio look me up and we'll go catch a Bass to match it. Great project as usual. Thanks for all the information and all you do.
Hello Martin, another very interesting video. I would like to know why you changed over to the Axminster lathe, rather than use the Nova Galaxie? What were your issues with the Galaxie, there had to be something as the Galaxie was just new to you?
Hi Len. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. I am using an Axminster lathe now....but still have the Galaxi - it's just in a different position in the shop. All the best, Martin
Yes Martin, I well aware that you still have the Galaxie lathe, I'm just wondering why you're using the Axminster over the Galaxie. The Axminster is now in the main turning location for filming the videos, so obviously you prefer the Axminster over the Nova Galaxie. Why?
Great video Martin! 😆 The base came out absolutely beautiful, I love the colors!! I use polyacrylic varnish to seal my flat panel burnings on birch or basswood. Based on how you sealed the vase with the Danish oil, spray sealer, and then your sealer; how much of a difference will I see with the intrinsic colors?? I had planned on using an outdoor polyacrylic to seal with the intrinsic colors to protect...but now I am wondering if I should at the very least use the Danish oil first. I do love when the beauty of the grain shows, but I want my burning and soon the colors to be the main focus. What do you think??
Hi Valerie. Thanks for your comment. The oil is an optional step really. A sealer will enhance the colour too, but not quite as much as using the oil, too. So long as the colours go on first, and then sealed, you should be absolutely fine. Before using the on a 'proper' piece of your burned work, do a couple of quick test pieces and use my technique and then yours, and go with whichever you prefer! All the best, Martin
Thanks Martin! 😆 I will definitely be doing a color swatch birch board over burning for all of the colors. I will include the Danish oil in at least one block of each color, as well as what I usually do. I can't wait to get the colors. 😃
Another few questions...lol. 😆 Now in painting & in general there is a "fat over lean" rule. Meaning oil based products can go over water base, but water base can't go over oil. Does this rule apply with wood finishes too?? What was the sealant you sprayed over the Danish oil, and is it water or oil based? I was wondering if once the Danish oil soaks in and dries, it is no longer an issues as to what is applied next. I tend to use all water-based products, so this will be the 1st time I deal with oil. P.S. Last week I mispronounced "Hampshire Sheen" when I was talking to hubby. He heard "hampster sheen" and once he said that out loud it stuck...lmbo! 😂 So now that is what Hampshire sheen is called in this house. I thought this might give you a chuckle. 😃
Lovely piece Martin, I wish I had the artistic flair to get the colouring anywhere near as pleasing to the eye. I see you have the Axminster 2030VS .....I have this lathe and love it 👍🏽
Beautiful work as usual. Maybe I missed it somewhere along the line. Why the different lathe? I was looking forward to the review of the Nova Galaxi DVR.
I don't know if I will colour it, BWAHAHAHAHA! The final piece is fabulous Martin. Shame Gary Lowe has already used Cosmic Clouds because it reminds me of something similar, perhaps a Nebula?
Thanks, Ian. Really wasn't 100% sure if I was going to colour it...it was pretty much 80/20 in favour of colouring it though, Lol. All the best, Martin
Martin, A beautiful vase. The colors are wonderful. Question. What is the reason for starting with the black then what appears to be sanding it off? Jim
Hi Japone. Thanks for asking...it's a question of personal choice what you turn a lot of. I like goblets and chalices, but choose to turn more technical projects most of the time for videos. Off camera though, I turn all manor of things that go up for sale. Hope that helps, Martin
Great colouring, shading and blending. What spray sealer were you using? My wipe on cellulose sealer does tend to pull some colour back out from my work. Had a great recent result 'clouding' black and blue on a sycamore platter after watching a past episode. Regards
Hi Gary. Thanks - Loving blending by hand - much more...um, 'personal', if that makes sense. A wipe on sealer will almost always take off some colour, so you're not doing anything wrong. A couple, or three coats of a spray sealer will help greatly keeping it on. The sealer I used in this project is a satin sealer from PlastiKote. All the best, Martin PS Black and blue is a brilliant combo - bet it looks awesome!
Hi Michael. Thanks. It depends on how pushed I am for time as to whether or not I power-sand. Still prefer doing it with a rotary sander though. All the best, Martin
Hi Eddy. You've not missed much....I am using an Axminster lathe now....but still have the Galaxi - it's just in a different position in the shop. :-) All the bestm Martin
Thank you very much for your kind words Bruce. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. I hope you continue to enjoy my productions. All the best, Martin
Lovely, you have the guts of a gladiator! Are you still making videos? I haven't seen much from you I a while. I do hope all is well with you and your family. Cheers
Hi Joel. Thank you. Good to hear from you. Still making videos, yes. There's been 120 or so videos made after this one. Moved workshops, got married and a load of other things, too! All the best, Martin
@@msabansmith thanks martin. I'm pretty sure I've watched them all!. I'm a big fan of your work. Somehow I missed this one. I am looking forward to your next video!
😮 Martin, I have watched you working, I am in awe of your skill and confused. You spray black on some projects and then sand right back - why? Secondly you again use black, when using paints, but you do not sand at all - why?
I am a subscriber to your channel and enjoy your videos very much. Recently, TH-cam did something to their software that makes it difficult for me see your new videos. After signing in, I was always able to click on the "subscriptions" button and see which of my subscribed channels had posted new videos. On Friday, March 10th this feature went away but it came back on Saturday, March 11 and worked until Friday March 17th, when it went away again. It has still not returned to this date. It is difficult to go through all my subscriptions in order to see those who have posted new videos. This is especially true when you get the nitwits that post other You Tubers videos under their own name. I have been informing TH-cam of this problem every day but do not seem to be getting any response at all. Everyone suffers here, not just your subscribers. I am hoping that you have some influence with TH-cam and can contact them to help remedy this situation. Many thanks.

Great piece. Could refill the aluminum powder void later or is it to late?
Martin, I feel I may be being drawn i to coloring although just getting good any lathe time would be good just now.
I'm interested in your chuck jaws used for this one. Are they simply parallel but with gripping ridges/teeth? they look very grippy and reassuring!
Hi Martin, could you tell me if you apply sanding sealer before the colours,or go straight
Into it with the colours please.
Hi Carol. I always put colour on before the sealer to give the colours the best chance of soaking into the wood.
M. Saban Smith Woodturning I’m sure you can tell I’m new to this but how do
you stop the colours from bleeding into an area that you don’t want it to go.
Sorry to be a nuisance.

Привет Сан. Большое спасибо. Martin
Martin, you said you were using High Gloss finish ...... which one is it ?
Its the one in the red tin. It's labelled now as Gloss Finishing Wax. It's good contact and toy safe, too.
Normally coloring wood isn't to my taste. But that came out looking very well. Thanks for posting.
Hi David. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.

Odd to see you use a power sander. Was it just for the vid or have your begun to use it more often? Love the vids, thanks for sharing your expertise.
