I love the pace at which you show this video. Some of these other wood turning channels are FANTASTIC but to get all the processes in a reasonable amount of time they speed up a lot of it. This on the other hand is great for a beginner like me. I do a lot of video content myself so I have an idea of how much work goes into putting out content like this and I just want to say I really appreciate it!
I don't have time to watch everything, so I watch only those turning videos I can learn from. I try to make mine in that category. I speed up repetitive sections where I can where nothing will be lost, those parts that, if I were watching, I'd skip.
It sure looks like he did in a few spots. I am completely new to this but it seems like a lot of the wood turners do that in their videos - and I am glad they do :)
I just let the camera run. All else in editing, mostly cutting. Time is valuable, so I speed up what I can without sacrificing continuity. There may be three or four hours of raw video to whittle down. Close-ups aren't as sharp as they would be if I recorded in 4K or better, but my computer can't handle dense video files. My grandson is going to do some magic to my computer, so that should improve soon.
I'd not heard of white cedar, so I looked it up. It grows in NE US and eastern Canada, which may be why I'd not heard of it. I don't know where this blank came from, but it seems unlikely that it would have found its way to Oregon from so far away. Two other things argue against white cedar. The heartwood of this piece is much darker red than examples of white cedar I found online, and white cedar's sapwood is a thinner layer than that of red cedar. Thanks for your input, Gary. Mystery remains.
