Hi Tomislav, as always your turnings are beautiful. What attracted me to your site are your explanations and processes, they are second to none! Greatly appreciated, thank you. Take care, Wayne
After watching both you and Richard use the overhand grip to deflect shavings, I gave it a try. It felt awkward at first, but I kept at it and now it feels quite comfortable. And it keeps me from using a death grip and getting tendonitis.
Love this project! A trick I have used on open grain woods is to make a slurry of Tung oil and rottenstone for after final sanding. It finishes and polishes at the same time and make the open pores pop. Thanks for the video.
I understand that English probably isn’t your first language…. that said, your lathe speed of ten thousand fifty really caught my attention!!! 😁 I enjoyed watching your project! Good work!
Another great project Tomislav! Your ability to explain how and why you proceed through the project is always so helpful … Thank you for all the time you dedicate to your channel 🤠🇨🇱
sto guardando molti dei tuoi video con i sottotitoli in italiano, e devo dirti che è meglio che andare a scuola ... sei chiaro e preciso. mi piace molto ciò che fai e come lo spieghi. ciao
I learned about how to make a better scraper burr and how to make a perfect ogee from one video. The finishing instructions were just bonus. 😊. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this demonstration Tomislav - excellent woodturning skills. Forgive me for being personal but your video demonstration/presentation techniques just get better and better.
Another very helpful video. I like the finish approach and am going to keep that in mind. I have some ash that I will be using for a piece in the near future and like the idea of a finish that doesn't yellow the wood. Thank-you for taking time to go through the details of laying out an ogee -- that process looks really straightforward and looks like it provides a great shape.
Such beautiful work. The technique and artistry is great. I've learned a lot from you and Richard Raffen about turning and it has made it so much more fun with so much better result for me. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I'm all about finding good ratios, so i appreciated the OG instructions. I look forward to trying it out. Forget about Micks comment, even if you don't get something out of a particular technique, you don't have to be derogatory, others, myself included, will use that technique.
Finally completed watching the whole video. I hope I didn't make unnecessary drama, earlier. I keep waiting for commenters like that to make a true contribution. But, the platter is excellent in each aspect. Great form with that elegant ogee. I like the use of white in your finish. I used to colour my sanding sealer, but now apply dye independently so I can work it after it dries. My latest mix was to melt mica powder into a little bit of my beeswax and mineral oil finish. Gold adds a nice twinkle in oak and I made some with iridescent turquoise to use on a wenge keychain. It catches everyone's eyes around the table. Your white was probably more elegant and less tacky than my choices. 😅
Beautiful work Tomislav, love the design. You've given an idea for the design of a large (250mm) Communion Paten I've been asked to make for a Church I attended in Manchester when I was there.
A. lovely piece! Your touch is so delicate and leaves a gorgeous finish prior to sanding. I am surprised at how much I also like the pigment on the ash. Must try that myself. Thank you for another engaging and educational video.
Привет, Томислав! Прекрасная работа! Идеальная форма! Работа зрелого Мастера! Спасибо. Для эксперимента с цветом можешь попробовать масло Osma Natural. Оно немного выбеливает материал. На тёмном материале, типа дуб, получается интересный результат.
Buon giorno Tomislav un piattofatto veramente ad opera d'arte, sono rimasto sorpreso da come utilizzi le tue sgorbie. Complimenti un caro saluto, mi sono iscritto perché mi farà piacere vedere altri lavori e imparare qualcosa di più.
WOW!You are an amazing talent. I have watched many people turn wood on TH-cam. The quality of what you do shines through and above all the rest that I have watched. Awesome it looks like the best of silk fabric.
Very nice work. The trick about the ogie was helpful. Would it be possible to put a link in a comment about where you got it or to learn about it more? I didn't quite get the reference from the video. For instance, what is the reason to go against the grain in the first step?
th-cam.com/video/SNDxDHShOL8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=51AarLY-dpjfWnEI This is Jimmy's video,has some other as well.... The reason to go against the grain is so you see a bit better the curve Your cutting,but be aware that last cut has to be with the grain
Hi, Tomislav. Why you don't remove the bark by axe before you cutting the circle? Splits of bark may hurt your fingers often at the left hand i've learned in my first lession woodturning. Love greetings
No need as I did try to pull it off but it was solid on the wood,but I rarely get hit by bark ,if its loose then I remove it, but if its solid like this one then its faster to turn it away
I always use en mortise chisel for straight lines or, together with a skew of course a recess. Though it's not meant for use in this way, i realy like it. I truly love you'r content, i keep on learning from your video's, but sometimes i wonder why you do something the way you do. I'm no professional though i realy want to become a pro. I'm using ash and oak for a horizontaly-segmented bowl im working on at the moment. I't love to hear your ideas about this
Its different way of turning, that is beauty of it...we all have different way.☺️as long you are safe and confident. Thank you very much for kind words 🤗
Beautiful work with super finish! I love that you also put as much thought and care into the under side of the piece. By the way this is the first time i have seen a video of yours so I'm now looking forward to your following videos. Thank you. Rob.
Absolutely gorgeous Tomislav, however I really doubt that you started turning it at 10,000 rpm. Maybe at 1000rpm but even that is quite fast for such a large blank.
You are right, its not 10000 rpm 😅 not sure how I miss that in edit... It was 1050 and I do turn slighty on faster side of rpm but this blank was balanced lovely and dense all the way , again I always reccomend for someone who just started out to stay under 1000 rpm especially on big stuff.... Speed can be whole another video and what affect it and what is safe... Maybe one day I'll do a video 😉 Thank you very much for watching
Everyone says to never use a spindle gouge on side grain, but then I see alot of people on youtube who are seasoned turners doing it (many of the same ones that say not to do it). Is it safe? Are the certain conditions it is safe and other conditions it is not?
It’s only deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges that shouldn’t be used for bowls and other facework. Deep-fluted spindle-roughing gouges were designed for roughing spindles. They used to be marketed simply as roughing gouges, so novice turners, not unreasonably, used them for roughing bowls and heavy catches often resulted in a broken gouge. That’s where this myth that no spindle gouges should be used for bowls comes from - people using the wrong tool for the job.
Like Richard says ,most turners think about spindle roughing gouge when they say Not to be used on bowls.... Regular spindle gouge its fine, especially on outside where you don't have big overhang and stress over the tool rest. And also its cheaper then bowl gouge. But like with anything,use tehnique and tool that Works best for you, just make sure you don't use spindle roughing gouge on cross grain work. Hope it helps
Do you think it's worth it to raise the grain with water before final sanding and finishing with oil/wax? I was wondering if I should do that on bowls that'll get sold.
I do it a lot when I make utilitarian stuff for clients, on some woods like ash its not always nessesary but maple likes to raise a grain when its washed....but also consider that over time,with use and washing the raise grain will diseperde...and you will have nice and smooth surface
You probably ment food safe right? Basicly any finish after few months is inert enough to not be an issue for use...but this is more serving platter so it won't be an issue although Odie's oil is food safe however on pigments you should ask Odie's. Hope it helps but I only do stuff like this on serving or decorative pieces .
Is the delineation between the rim and the bowl functional or just to break up the curve line? If this is a functional platter, it doesn't seem necessary. I like Jimmy Clewes technique. It looks great on your platter.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning When you turn large platters, do you prefer the mortise grip so you don't have to flip to finish the bottom? I thought you would use the rim groove for that.
I know the oil you used is food safe but adding pigment to the oil still food safe? I’ve wanted to try some color to my work but have been afraid of paints and can’t find one that is food safe. Your work is always wonderful to watch. Your lessons are great to learn from.
Good question, I would say as its normal that after month or so every finish is inert so I think this is ok as well, now usually when I do a paint I use paint in outside, that way inside its still clean wood.
Your explanations are so clear, (and in English, too- you put us natives to shame!) Thank you for showing us your skills
Ohh thanks, I have still a lot to improve in my English, but I'll get there ☺️
Fantastic finish. The white really shows the grain and emphasises the beauty of the wood. A very elegant platter.
Thank you
Learnt more from you in one video Thani have with hundreds of other peoples wood turning videos.great job excellent skill. Thank you
Such a gorgeous platter. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely work, Tomislav! Thank you for sharing, as always.
Really cool finish. I never thought of using a white pigment like that. The platter turned out really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, turn out really nice
I understand that English probably isn’t your first language…. that said, your lathe speed of ten thousand fifty really caught my attention!!! 😁
I enjoyed watching your project! Good work!
😂😂 its a bit less then that😂😂
Beautiful work. Clearly shown technique. Thank you. I too may have to emulate this piece.
Very nice I like the white finish, it turned out great.
Wow that is the most beautiful piece, so tastefully designed. Excellent workmanship!

No worries Jay, thank you as always for watching
Looks great. I like the contrast that comes out of the grain. I think the extra detail you put into the base and rim make your work stand out.
Thank You very much,glad you liked it 🤗
Wonderful work, you are a master!!
Thank you, Im far from master,I still have a lot to learn

really nice .. grain depth looking holographic .. amazingly pretty
Thank you very much
You're a really great teacher!
Thank you , I try my best😀
You did a very great job of explaining how to make the platter!!! Thanks!!!
Well I watch a lot of woodturners on You Tube but you are incredible what a beautiful bowl, nice one buddy.
Thank You very much 😀

Its ash wood😉

Good explanation Master, thank you for that video
I watched this yesterday but lost the video to comment so I have just found it and you have turned a beautiful piece of work, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you sir
Looks really good like the way you lighten the grain with the white pigment and oil
Thank you ☺️
So I'm 6 seconds into the video and I already like it. "What I've got here is A BIG ASH BLANK". I didn't head "Ash" the first time around 😂
Very nice.

Not sure to be honest, I'm curious as well ☺️

Very nice maybe just a hint of blue?
You had me hooked at "big ash blank" lol
