This is the best woodturning instruction available on TH-cam by far. Tomislav is an honest , sincere gentleman. Exceptionally honest, dedicated and talented. Personally, after my 50 years of woodturning experience none compares. Excellent!
I am so glad you got the new lathe. The sound was very hard to listen to with the old one. Great project for Christmas gifts. I think i would like to cut a curve in the flat part to make it more usable.
Super project! I was looking for a Christmas gift for my three daughters and two daughter-in-laws and this will be perfect. I have plenty of good scraps just the right size. Thanks for the post.
I always find that I get in my own way when cutting toward the tailstock. I need to watch your skew video again to see proper body positioning. Lovely spatulas, I'm definitely going to give it a go!
Nice batch, Tomislav. What I like observing is the style differences between regions. I don't want to generalize too broadly, but I find the guys I know personally make a longer, narrower and more uniform handle with a squarer end. Tapered, but harder corners. When I showed up at coffee one week with something closer to your style, but longer handle and with three beads and three grooves for grip, they asked me if I had just returned from a European turning symposium. They were kindly joking, but when I thought about who influenced my spatula it was not a North American TH-cam turner. Edit: I was impressed that these gentlemen recognized the style differences, and I should have known they would. Today I finished the outside of my first tri corner bowl. Lots of fun. But the most amusing to me was the wind current blowing shavings away from those six spinning points. I decided I better not get proper dust collection or I'll be too entertained watching shavings instead of what I'm turning. :) Great demo!
I’ve made a few spatulas and they really helped me with my skew skills. Thanks for sharing your blank dimensions because it gives me a guideline for cutting mine 😊
These are awesome for pan sauces -- scraping the caramelized juices with a bit of brandy or whatnot -- before adding stock, cream, etc. A 45° bevel is helpful if not already thin. And, of course, yours are excellent, as well as your instruction. As usual.
I would add, maybe raise the grain after the final grit (damp sponge) and lightly touch off the "whiskers"; separates hand-made from the grocery store utensils. Or leave the skew finish and touch up the flats and corners with a sharp plane or card scraper and no sanding.
I have wondered about making spats. Thank you for the clear views for using the skew. You can use a laytex sander cleaner to pull the wood fibers out of the sanding pastas long as the disk is notglazedfrom wood resin
Those are lovely. Would it be worth batching out some for order on your website? People might like to buy something you had made. Maybe, if people read this and agree a thumbs-up for the comment may indicate interest? Best Wishes, Brendan.
Strangely enough I was turning those yesterday, I do like your design though may have to modify mine to something thicker in the blade. nice work as always
would it help to put a piece of cloth or sponge in the chuck to reduce the chances of the teeth leaving marks? I know it would have to be small so it is not flapping but it could be useful. I have a rubber pad for most of my vices for the same reason.
I am still coming to terms with the possibilities woodturning offers. For example, this sorcery where a round handle shares a flat paddle on a single piece of wood. Now, I want to get busy replacing the pile of old mystery wood utensils in my kitchen with a set of my own creations.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning This is your idea, so it will not be fair to upload a video that you already did. You also do a really great job in your videos. But if you want, I can record and upload one. I have make this spatura from very nice plum wood.
I like to make strips of sand paper backed with ducktape by just adding the tape to the back and cutting strips of the width I want. Lets you use any paper as if it is rugged. Would be perfect for sanding these angry sides 😊
Hi Tomi, a very useful video this time for nearly everyone - who do not need a spatula! By the way - is there any news on being able to buy one of your 'Refiners' yet? All the very best from Phil - in South West England.
As usual, well done. I like the camera angle starting at 11:11, although it's surely awkward for you. The fancier walnut is lovely; is it J. regia? The plainer walnut looks like J. nigra. Funny, I was just looking at my stock of spatulas. I've been making them out of maple and oak floorboards. Thanks.
I do try to answer comments as much as I can,I would not have done much if I sit at the screen all day, so Usually it will take me 2-3 days to answer as I let comments build up and I answer them in one sitting. Hope that make sense and I especially try to answer those who ask questions that bother them in turning world,via comments or videos.

Absolutely, no ego here, I appreciate your wisdom and sincere approach to instruction. Absolutely perfect! Good for you!
The way how things take shape under your tools and hands is mesmerizing. Beautiful work. Thanks for another great video!

Thank you Tom.
Your film was very vlearly explained and demonstrated.
The spatulas turned out very well your friends will be pleased to relieve them!
Nicely done as always. And always appreciate the way you explain things too. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, motivates me to try it as well. Good idea for some of the smaller wood parts.
Another cracking demonstration using the skew. Thanks for your time Tomislav.

Nicely done as always tomislav, great video thanks for sharing,

Fun project, very nice.
Thank you so much for the video! You always do an amazing job explaining your process.

Another great project …. definitely going to try my hand at a couple of these 🤠🇨🇱

Great little project
Thanks!
Great idea they look great can't wait to make some Hollidays are coming quickly looks like an easy way to practice scew
Great idea and a brilliant demo on how to use the skew

Nice work as always. Loving the new lathe.
Nice and easy project .
Those are neat little items. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Those are lovely. Would it be worth batching out some for order on your website? People might like to buy something you had made. Maybe, if people read this and agree a thumbs-up for the comment may indicate interest?
Best Wishes, Brendan.
I'd even order the wood blanks prepped as shown here.
Nice little project ... I have got to try this. Thanks for this video, Tomi.
Great video, I may have to try this.
great instruction! thank you!
Very nice, another great project. Looking forward to Refiner come out.
Nice work as always I haven't tried making a spatula, so I might give it a go as always thanks for sharing your knowledge with us .
Thank you
Great idea Tomislav, thanks for sharing
Take care
Cheers
Harold
Thank you Harold
Strangely enough I was turning those yesterday, I do like your design though may have to modify mine to something thicker in the blade. nice work as always
Thank you Pete😄
Una idea que pondré en practica, gracias
would it help to put a piece of cloth or sponge in the chuck to reduce the chances of the teeth leaving marks? I know it would have to be small so it is not flapping but it could be useful. I have a rubber pad for most of my vices for the same reason.
Those get sanded out anyway
I am still coming to terms with the possibilities woodturning offers. For example, this sorcery where a round handle shares a flat paddle on a single piece of wood. Now, I want to get busy replacing the pile of old mystery wood utensils in my kitchen with a set of my own creations.
This is very nice project. I will have to try. Very nice work Tomislav!
Thank you neighbor 😀
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning today i have make 8 of them. Gratings neigbor. It was super fun project
@Pipejawood-Woodturning glad to hear that,hope there is video as well soon

It's DUCT tape. Birds Do not need adhesive strips

I think i will try one as well as a good starting project once my doctor clears me to turn again

Wow that technique works great until you get a catch and then the thin end gets 1/2 inch shorter 😂😂😂 made 3 today!
hey Tomislav, what are the dimensions for the blanks you start with ?
What finish do you use? Thank you.
50% interrupted cut with a skew 😬 🤣
I see TH-cam is only to see how many subscribers a channel can get. and not answering questions. That's a pitty I really liked the videos
Give him time. If you read comments on his other videos, you will see that he does respond.
I do try to answer comments as much as I can,I would not have done much if I sit at the screen all day, so Usually it will take me 2-3 days to answer as I let comments build up and I answer them in one sitting.

I apologise for saying that. No worries I will figure it out
