- Hi
Before embarking on my next project, I thought it would be useful to try out my Robert Sorby Texturing and Spiralling tools. I hope you find the video useful. Alternatively, if you can help me by providing any advice on this subject, please leave me a message.
If you like my video please give me a 'thumbs up' and subscribe to my channel.
Many thanks and happy turning!
Andrew

Disclamer: I do not recommend any of the methods/techniques I use as these could be unsafe. Woodturning is a potentially hazerdous activity and it is your responsibility to use proper methods/techniques and follow appropriate health and safety practices.

Looked great, you sound like a Yorkshire man. Where are you based? I’ve been turning since March lockdown hobby which I’m now hooked. Just bought a spiralled and thought I’d check out your video for a few tips. 👏✅
Thanks Beverley. I've since moved on to model engineering. Now I'm hooked on making engines!
Happy woodturning.
Cheers

Hello, i think you have the wheel in the wrong way I think the angle should be in the way
On your cuts on flat surfaces ,try holding the shaft of your tool at an angle around 45 degrees and see if you like the results.
Hi Carl
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't do wood turning any more but your suggestion might help others.
Cheers

They are great tools Andrew but take a lot of practice. I have messed about with the spiralling tool a lot and still find it difficult to get consistent patterns, there are a lot of variables affecting the result, such as the diameter of the workpiece. Nicely filmed, cheers, Jim.
Hi Jim, many thanks for the advice. Cheers. Andrew
Hi Andrew. It’s refreshing to see someone at similar place and showing when it doesn’t go to plan. I’ve recently purchased the large and small Worby tools and so far not got very great results consistently. Nick Agar has been my main source of guidance and while he is brilliant at using these tools I found doing exactly what he demonstrated was not sufficient to produce the same result. So have been somewhat disappointed. One thing I did notice is you present the tool with the bevel of the spiralling cutters facing away from the work which Nick shows towards the work. I’m guessing both can be used to get some interesting patterns and texture although the flat side seems to be more aggressive and more tearing. It’s very clear that one needs to practice one scrap a lot and your video has lifted my enthusiasm by showing that I’m not alone in getting mixed results. I’ve started being a bit more scientific now logging each test cut and how I present the tool, I.e. bevel in or out, angle of presentation cutter size etc. hopefully this will allow me to find some that I can replicate on actual workpieces. Thank you for taking time to share your experiences.
Hi Kev. Thanks for the comment. Yeah practice is definitely needed but some interesting patterns can be made. I've since moved on to model engineering. Have fun!
Cheers

Very interesting video, esp after looking into the new spiralling and texturing tools released by Crown in Sheffield.
Just a question about when you first try the spiralling bit. Did the tearout happen because you were moving the tool not towards the bevel side, but the flat side? As in do you think it would have torn if you had done the exact same move but with the bevel of the bit facing the direction of your movement?
Hi. I'm sorry but I can't remember. I've moved on to model engineering now.
Cheers

Thank You for the video and saving me some time on test cutting!
This tool has opened up a new world in turning finishes!
Glad you like it.
Cheers

Interesting tool!
Good video. I use lubricant between the tool and the toolrest. Makes it slide much easier.
Great idea Robert 👍
Tilted down into a negative rake should produce a smoother cut. Practice will increase your skill as with any new tool. Good first go.
Thanks for the advice Thomas. I'll practice tilting it. I've heard the term negative rake scraper before but never understood it. I'll google it today. Thanks again.
this is very good Andrew and you did it just wright. I have both of these tools and have been practicing with them for nearly a year now and they produce a fantastic decoration patterns if you will try some colouring as well for the cut patterns. very good informative video and keep them coming.
Hi Tarek, thanks for your advice and feedback. Even more thanks for subscribing! Just finishing a coffee table off at the moment but I've got an idea for my next lathe project. Hopefully this week if I can get hold if the stuff I need.
Cheers.

Andrew...excellent video and demonstration. I've had the tool for a couple of years but have never devoted enough time (i.e. practice) to it in order to produce consistently good results. Your video has inspired me to dedicate some of my upcoming holiday time to more practice. Cheers...
Hey thanks John, I really do appreciate your feedback. It's great to know that some of my videos are of help to others. Good luck with your spiralling and texturing!
All the best.
Andrew
Have a look at the Sorby/ Nick Agar video Also Nick Cook videos, Plenty of info.
Many thanks for the info Rog.
Cheers. Andrew
Beautiful figure turns out! Very interesting tool. How long have you been in woodworking?
Thank you Aлександр. I got back into woodworking just over a year ago after a 45 year break.
Welcome back! You have a very interesting video.
Very timely video for me as I just recently (yesterday) received my micro tool and hope to practice with it today. Thanks for posting.
Terry.
Hi Terry. Thanks for letting me know. Good luck and happy turning!
Cheers
Andrew
I have just started using the Sorby spiralling texturing tools. I have found the micro tools easier to control, the large one tends to skid, as in "yikes" which is disappointing and also gives you a fright!!!
I think you have done very well for your first attempt.
Good luck
James

Hi James. Thanks for the feedback. I think I need to think of some more projects where I can appy these.
Cheers.
Andrew
Its a great tool to have, I seem to texture most things now. Tracy Owen, who designed this for Sorby, has another design out which Simon Hope sells.
Thanks
James
Andrew, I always wanted to see how they work. Excellent video and great angle shots! It's fun to see you enjoying it, and very informative. As with any tool, practice makes perfect. Have a great day Andrew!
Hi bobjons7. Many thanks for your kind comments and encouragement. I'm glad you found some of it interesting. I think I'll do some more practice before applying to my next project. Cheers. Andrew
