This is my normal day during winter time while I rough turn bowls.... Hopefully you'll enjoy it 🤗 #woodturning #dayinthelife #bowlmaker #recordpower #winter #woodlathe #asmr #entertainment
Thank you Tomislav for taking us inside your life for a day. I really enjoyed it all, and your approach to your work. All the best from the Land Down Under.
Thank you Tomislav I am watching your videos from last couple of weeks . Enjoying each and every. Your way of presentation is so much learning for the beginners.
Tomislav, I just came across this and I’m impressed. You processed more wood in a day than I get through in a month or more. Very impressive. Thanks for the video. Please keep them coming. Cheers, Tom
This was a very interesting Video Tomi. That was a very busy Day, i enjoyed to see the daily Routine of a Woodturner . Now i realized how busy it is to make Money with turning.
Greetings from Rochester NY USA. I am really enjoying your video's! Thanks for your time and knowledge. Maybe a future episode on the (pull cut ?) you use for roughing the outside of the bowls, looks very efficient.
Awesome inventory of blanks and great assortment of wood varieties Interesting to see how people in various climates can store blanks. Our climate is so dry that we have to take steps to keep things moist while the wood dries.
That was interesting. I need to get the pile of Plum and Cherry in my yard sorted out because its becoming a bit of a garden feature now! Best Wishes, Brendan.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Le bois jaune est presque certainement le mûrier (dud). Il perd rapidement sa couleur jaune à cause des UV, contient du tanin (fait jaunir l'eau de vie clair en bouteilles de verre) et est de dureté de frêne à peu près. Radoslav Pavlovic
@@radoslavpavlovic590thank you Radoslav, the wood is osage orange but I have done Dud today and its very similar..... But dud is more frendly to tools then osage..... thank you for watching and support 👍
Thank you Harold as always ☺️ I do core, I'm using McNaughton system,but only straight knife since others are badly bend... Previeus owner heat them up too much
Osage orange is amazing wood, and that in your shop is the biggest I've ever seen. I have a few small pieces, just big enough for a few mallet heads. The color gets more beautiful with passing time. So hard, so heavy!
Thank you! Do you find that turning green wood to an almost finished thickness (e.g. a bowl but not finished or any particular style) prevents the wood from getting to stable dryness with craacks? Or do you find cracks are unavoidable
Usually if wood wants to crack it Will , if the wood is tempermental and prone to cracks I'll turn it green all the way thin...but most of the time I'll turn around 10% wall thickness and let it dry for 6-12months. Last few batches I don't seal the bowls,just let them a side to dry. At the moment there is roughly 600 bowls and plates on the shelf and maybe 5 have nasty splits while another 10 May have tiny defects... But I'll do a video on drying wood ☺️
I'd wildly guess osage orange(hedge apple) ......You're collecting tons of shavings and dust, chainsaw, bandsaw, lathe, and sandpaper. Compost facility nearby? You look to be one very busy man Tomislav.....you're certainly talented enough to have an apprentice from time to time to help lighten the load and share some of those leg cramps and backaches with. Thanks for the tour, I got tired just watching you. 😉
Thank you Lefty, it is Osage, nice guess.... I donate all those to local garden for fruits and vegetables or pathes.....but I did consider to make pallets for burning as they got really expensive.... Somehow I enjoy working on my own, maybe ome day as the boys get older they like to continue work.....time will tell🤗
Thank you for watching 🤗 Its McNaughton system, its very efficiet but has a big learning curve....I believe something like woodcut or oneway coring systems are much more user frendly..... I use mostly straight knife from McNaughton system,since the rest are severedly bend from the previeus owner..... Hope that helpes 🤗
Hello Tomislav. Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas USA. You are very productive! I like your efficiency. How do you like the new Record lathe? I see you have a chuck key like Richard Raffan's. 😃 Your technique is much like his: very efficient and effective. I like that. Best wishes for your continued success.
I like Texas, never been but seen on tv, love it..... Richard is my mentor,and I own him a lot ,he helped me be turner that I am today so you'll see a lot of similarities 😉 Thank you for nice wishes and wish you all the best, greetings from coldish Zagreb, Croatia 😀
Hello Tom, very productive day. At 21:24 you said right, is acacia (akacija).Im my language is acat.I received a few logs from a work colleague. Nice looking grain, but I don't like the smell when turning. Hard to get smooth finish ( for me😀) And a lot of cracks. But I have made some nice bowls with scroll saw technic, bowl from a board. Life is beautiful when you do what you like.👍
Thank you very much, indeed life is easier when you do what you like.... I found acacia quite stable, but that may very on the subspicee or continent but definitivly interesting color and grain 🤗
Hi, thank you for sharing your day with us. I was very interested in seeing how you core out your blanks, is this tool a bought item or something you have made yourself?? Please let us know as it is something I would like to try. Thanks
Thank you Peter for watching and support 🤗 its straight knife from McNaughton system, I did used it in my hand without turret but that is not advicebly.... I think maybe woodcut or oneway coring systems are much more user frendly to start of.....
You are very productive. I did not know you could core a blank by hand. I am certain it is more challenging than you made it appear with your experience.
Thank you sir, I dont recommend to do like that.... I use 90% of time a touret but for this smaller ones sometimes I do by hand,but like I said I don't recommend....since its close to bad catch..... Thank you for and support 🤗
The yellow wood appears to be Osage Orange (also called hedge ). It is used for Fence posts here in the midwest (iowa, usa). The wood is so hard. We have to drive staples into it to hold up the fence when the wood is green. When the wood drys out, it's too hard to Drive anything in to it. Posts never rot either.
Great Video. What was the tool you used to core the bowls? It looked like a hooked parting tool. Sorry, I am beginner turner and may not have the correct terminology.
Thank you ☺️, no need to say sorry, we all start from beggining at one point..... Its McNaughton system,I bought that used and all the curved knives were badly bend,so I only use for now a straight knife..... Or sorby slicer.....both work great
First time I have watched your videos, very impressed with your turning skills. It would take me an hour to do what you do in minutes. Am considering buying a Record Regent, how are you liking it? All the best. Keep showing us your skills
Thank you very much 🤗 Glad you enjoy it.... Regent is great machine, some stuff can be improved but funcionally machines works great.... I'll make review in couple of months, but for the price I can't find better lathe.....
@@jimswift7228 thank you for you comment and support.... After review if you'll have any questions feel free to ask👍 greetings from coldish Zagreb Croatia
As a hobby turner I feel busy if I turn 3 or 4 pieces a week. Not your pace of work. LOL. What was that tool you showed for the coring? I had asked the same from Richard Raffin, he told me a Sorby slicer but Sorby tells me it's discontinued.
Thanks Randy🤗 I have sorby slicer but using most is the straight knife from McNaughton system..... I should use it with touret but on small bowls I just hold it in my hand, but dont recommend that... On bigger bowls I use touret.... Hope I helped
Depends on the season.... Sometimes 20-30 and on some months over 80.... But there is always other turned stuff that people like , like boxes and scoops , rollers .... Versatile offer🤗
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning to my mind that's pretty good. How many pieces do you have finished at any time and where do you sell them markets and online I guess.
@@chrissimmoms1550 accually I have really low count of finish ones, as I usually sell via Facebook as they order I finish them.... That saves me having two shelfs of bowls😉 but sometimes I do finish let say 20 bowls and post them as sale.....
Remarkable similarities between you and Richard Raffan. It is easy to pick the professional wood turners from the hobby turners. You remove as much wood as possible in the shortest time, fascinating to watch and note the techniques. Thank you for sharing your skills. Greetings from Tasmania Australia. 👍😁🦘 PS I have a 12 tonne load of Eucalyptus tree trunks, 12’’ 26’’ in diameter 4.8 to 5.0 metres long for firewood. I am being rather selective now with what is for firewood and what is for turning. Video’s like yours and Richard has taught me how to use wood to its best advantage. Enjoy the mix of measurements- got to make our USA friends think a little.😁
Thank you very much, similarities are present beacuse he is my mentor, he helped a tone , expecially in the beggining since there is no one in Croatia that turnes wood like Richard..... Soo I do quite similar 😉 eucalyptus I have never turned , so should be a lot of fun at your shop😀..... I'm honored that my videos along Richard's are helping you, I take that serieus and Thank you for that..... Greetings to Tasmania, lovelly Australia from coldish Zagreb, Croatia 😀
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you for your reply, now I know why you have the same techniques. Richard is in my top 5 wood turners that I watch regularly. I am new to wood turning, started at 84 as one of the many things I like-we have 5-acres natural wooded property, so lots of Australian hardwoods available to cut down (dead ones) over the years-plus the Eucalyptus as firewood. I also have some Huon Pine, very, very old very dense and much sought after but limited supplies and very expensive. Currently power carving some Huon Pine cross grain shallow bowls with natural edge. Rock hard pale golden timber, only grows in southern Tasmania. Kind Regards..
@@ShevillMathers that sounds awsome, I have looked here in Europe if any of the wood dealers have some of Australian hardwoods but no luck....but if I ever got my hand on something I'll do a video😉 power carving is fun stuff.....☺️
