Thanks for that not used this tool yet, been turning for two years only. Also never seen anyone using a felt tip pen before, great way to add colour. Regards Bob Blood from Gillingham. Kent. England.
The final Wagner tool is really for metal turning & it's called a Knurling tool. It is sometimes used with two wheels in tandem on stock bar (spindle work). With all these trotating ools, you might advise beginners to always keep the bolt head to the right hand side, otherwise the rotation may unscrew the bolt during use. Keep fingers well back from the rotating teeth too !
I like your homemade mini texturing handle. Do you think the wheel will wear out prematurely against the bolt threads? Then again, there seems to be a lot of slop on my Sorby bronze bushing on my mini texturing tool. One person drilled a thru hole and tapped in a smooth steel pin for a semi permanent setup on a shop made handle. KInd of like how the Wagner tool is made.
Great video Sam I've been experimenting with these very same tools for a while now my Wife who is a artist said one day that I should put a base colour on before anything else and she said yellow was the way to go and as always she was proved right it looks better to me I have been also using metallic colours and fluoro colours ( looks great spinning on the lathe under black light ) anyway thanks for the video and hello from down under
This is a link to the Dick Blick website. This link is actually in the description. goo.gl/wm4xVf The issue with adding color is will it bleed when a finish is applied? You can experiment on a piece of scrap = add the color and then apply a clear finish on top. I usually use a spray. Sam
Good video Sam, noticeably missing from the tools is the Decorating Elf from Henry Taylor tools. I have all but the Wagner and find the Elf and Robert Sorby are my "go to" decorating tools. The Elf is very consistent and with three different shaped bits it is very easy and effective.
Yet another great video Sam!!! I really enjoyed watching it and as usual, picked up a number of different ideas. I often use several of the texturing tools use demonstrated and really enjoy using them to highlight a particular top, box lid, etc. I normally use 'sharpies', but noticed you are using a different brand with a narrower, sharper point... Where can we purchase these? Also, can you suggest a good finish to apply over these colors to prevent them from running together and ruining all your textering work??? Again,THANKS for all you do and safe turning to you and yours ALWAYS!!!
Real braw Sam . Great random patterns. Drill two, three or four holes in them and they make nice large buttons for ladies who make brooches, cushions or handbags .
I really enjoyed seeing a comparison of the various tools all in the same video with similar media. MUCH easier to compare apples to apples that way. I'm sure you've noticed that actually running one marker over the other too often results is shades of brown. using lines to define different areas is great. Maybe even taking something to them to make burn lines is helpful.
Dean Thomas Dean, yes I agree and I understand that combining colors sometimes results in some shade of brown. I can’t remember what I did in the video, but what I usually try to do is combine a very light color and a darker color like blue or green. But sometimes it doesn’t come out as you expected. Thanks again for the Comments. SAM
James, the only thing I have added is a remote switch. "They" make one all set up with a switch and wires but you can put one together yourself. Here is a link to how it is wired.th-cam.com/video/jchwIF3O_Ys/w-d-xo.html But be careful if do not feel this is something you should tackle. Get an electrician... Sam
Thanks for sharing Sam. You make a good point about just colouring the surface of the texture which then creates a contrast between coloured and natural wood so the texture stands out. I think I need more practice to get my texturing more precise. Just one question: Having finished colouring how do you proceed to finish a piece so you still have a good shine and the colour doesn't run? Sealer and wax vs oil?
I always spray something. I really like Acrylic Lacquer. But depth lacquer is good and quick drying poly will work. You can spray satin or gloss whatever you like. Sam
Sam...I also have the Sorby texturing tool that you demonstrate in one of your videos but my pieces have significant tear-out. I'm using it on some very hard ash...is there a preferred direction that leaves a better finish or am I likely just pressing too hard? THANKS...
Are you cutting into end grain (you'll get better results) or cross grain (will work but not as well). I also experiment with the angle and draw the tool towards me. I like to turn around 800 to 1000 rpm when I am texturing. It just takes practice. Sam
Read the instructions carefully first. The one sided chamfered wheel is a spiral tool & is suitable for side grain. The more pointed wheel is purely texturing & perhaps more aggressive. This video is great, but you might also take a look at Nick Agar, who helped develop these tools in conjunction with Robert Sorby. Crown make a similar tool too. For end grain, look at the "Decorating Elf" also demonstrated by Nick Agar.
Chica, thanks.....I shall forever remember what Sanguine means. There are too many shades of white at the paint store, right? Thanks very much for watching. Sam
Very nice Sam hi love you give good advice thanks
Sam…can you tell me where you bought your small texturing wheels. I guess you buy the Robert Sorby wheels from him?
Yes, they are all Robert sorby, texturing tools, including the wheels Sam
That is too cool. Another fine mess you've gotten me into. More money for different tools. Not that I don't love to buy tools. :-)
Thanks, I've wondered about these tools and their effects. Now I know. I love the markers. Where are they available?
sam that's cool like the guy said more money but I love tools lol thanks
Hey Sam, do you have a preference of markers? Sharpies etc?
Those are way cool Sam! Thanks for sharing the different tools and their effect!
Take care, Dave

Thank's I like very much. I have a little kit of Robert Sorby.

Very interesting I would love to try that one day thanks for sharing Mr. Sam god bless
Great video showing the different textures. 👍🇺🇸
Very thorough and interesting, as always! Thanks Sam.
A very comprehensive overview of texturing, would you use the marker pens for finished work that you might sell?
Thanks
James
Yes I certainly would. Sam
@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks.
Amazing work Sam thanks for all the great videos
Great examples...I have all those tools except the chatter tool...love them!

You might be right that the wheel will wear out. I also saw something about putting a metal sleeve around the bolt.....good idea. Sam

Trevor, I agree about adding a base coat. That is a great technique. Thanks turn safely Sam
Great tutorial Sam! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I learned something new? I guess you are never to old to learn something new? Nice work!
Is there a kind of marker that is recommended for this kind of work that will retain it’s colour and last in a finished project?

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER thank you for the reply and info.
is there a burr on that chattering tool?grtngs!
Yes there can be a burr. I think it would work better with a burr. Sam

Yes, I do not have the Elf. I just have not bought one. Sam

"Old" ..... I assume you are referring to the markers....? This are Castel Faber. I get them from Dick Blick. I also have a video on markers. Sam
Nice job , it put a differ but cool look on the wood.
Goooooooooood

Hi Sam! I’m getting a powermattic 3520b in the next few weeks- any tips or things you’d add to it?

Nice work. What's the difference between those markers and Sharpies?
I think the big difference is the narrow or pointed tip. And they come in many colors. Sam
Thank you. Very well done.

Great job Sam....awesome! What are you using for the coloring? More inspiration!
I use several kinds of markers. I get them from Dick Blick. It is an art supply-online supplier. Sam

Sanguine is blood red... such lovely pieces.
Chica, thanks.....I shall forever remember what Sanguine means. There are too many shades of white at the paint store, right? Thanks very much for watching. Sam
Sam, what markers do you prefer?
Faber Castell there is a link in the description. Sam
