Multi-Axis Square Turning 

HI Olivier, what a treat to our "older" woodturning eyes to see a process we have been using called "THERMING" ... You revived and totally refined it to modern level of 2022 !!! It is always a treat to watch your Utube posts !! .... don't ever stop !

I put a strobe light on my wood lathe that was synchronized with the rotation of the lathe. Dim the back lights, turn on the strobe light, and suddenly the spinning blurry wood stock was freeze frame visible. Stunning! There was on odd desire to touch it, so I had to remind myself it was still moving. I added another control that would delay the sync pulse from the lathe to the strobe, so I could effectively slowly rotate the spinning wood, and select the side I wanted to see. I learned a lot from that strobe setup, especially about tool edges and how they cut. It was as if I touched the tool to the wood, and instantly I could see the ring develop around the stock. A real mind blower. It was too addictive, and I didn't know the long term side affects of watching it, so I disabled it and gave it to a friend: Mr. Geiger. I always hoped he would patent it and make it popular, but there is the downside of inducing seizures.

For those who think you can just do things because of your high quality equipment; forget them. The stuff you come up with is just so amazing. You are insanely gifted.

You just never cease to amaze me. It boggles my mind how you come up with these ideas. Absolutely gorgeous as usual!

@5:46 It's at this point when I always ask... what in the world is he doing?! I never skip to the end, because it's so cool to watch your process. I love your videos- always interesting, always precise, always with a beautiful end result. Thank you for sharing.

I'm 6 minutes in and my dude got me confused and impressed at the same damn time. I build cabinets for a living, and do custom stuff as a hobby. I can build just about anything, but the creativity to come up with things like this is something, I have to admit I'm jealous of. You earned a sub for this and I ain't finished it yet.

My woodshop teacher in the 70's would have loved this. That technique is something that I would never have thought of. Great job, you have the skills to make a real go of it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

After watching a billion turning videos, there’s something I’ve never seen 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done!!!

This is the most innovative thing I've ever seen on a lathe. WOW.

ФАНТАСТИКА!!!🤗👍👍👍. Не перестаю восхищаться вашей работой и мастерством. Вы СУПЕР!!!🙏

Beautiful work. So refreshing to see woodturning without all the epoxy.

The vision and imagination going on inside his head is amazing. He must dream up this stuff and just make it happen. Unbelievable talent

This young man has a combination of amazing skills. He has inventiveness, the ability to foresee how his project will turn out, and great artistry in creating it. Even with complete directions another very skilled artisan may not be able to duplicate his creations. He seems to have that X factor that it takes to be a fabulous sculptor, painter, or composer. I love watching him create and I hope he remains prolific and creates a large body of work.

Very nice. Used a similar technique to make speakers for my apartment, as a student. Added a adjustable, telescoping type, each on it’s own standard. Articulation and barbell from lifting set weights. Lots of fun to be found in working with Wood. Closing in on 80, I’m a Retired, Sand County Almanac, Forester by degree and vocation. Thanks, these videos bring back memories. Now? I sit on the Dock, grow orchids, sketch pretty pictures and write bad Haiku. Everyone stay safe 👍🏽 Thanks

Just sheer genius! You are at the intersection between engineering and art, where one becomes the other. So much fun to watch! Thank you so much for posting

Wow! That’s an ingenious way to turn 4 vases at the same time! Beautiful!

I'm slightly embarrassed to call myself a wood-turner after watching several of your videos...this is absolutely stunning 'next level' work. Beautiful work...cheers.

Very creative in repurposing a well-known "inside out" method into a not only multi-axis but almost a production mode copy lathe turning. Very clever and useful for many novel shapes beyond what you have demonstrated. Cheers from Rama, USA

Goodness, as a wood turner myself, those are truly gorgeous, friggin amazing pieces and execution!

Watching a talented person do what they are good at is as much of a treat as watching a sunrise. Thank you for that. And kudos for keeping your work area clean enough to do finish work. That lets me know more about your work habits than anything else.

I had no idea what to expect, when clicking on the video. But the process is just relaxing to watch, and the result is amazingly beautiful!

I am still rubbing my eyes in disbelief As a 75 year old retired toolmaker that was amazing and I have seen a few things in my day . Congratulations from Australia

These pieces are absolutely gorgeous. So minimalistic yet refined and exciting in their appearance. I am blown away by the craftsmanship and the design!

I can't believe how creative you are - not to mention how good a turner you are. Love to watch your videos. Thank you

The geometry involved blows my mind. Incredible design, outstanding skill.

J'ai apprécié chaque minute de cette vidéo Monsieur Olivier. Idée simple, exécution précise et beaux résultats. Merci, comme toujours, pour le partage. 🙂

You know Olivier when stand in front of the lathe I never know what is going to happen. Again you showed us what an awesome and amazing young man you are. There is always a big surprise when you are finished. It is just awesome and stunningly beautiful magnificent and spectacular.

OMW!!!!!!!!! I don't know how you can see what you are turning and designing when the timber is rotating at such a ridiculously fast speed! You skill and ability to produce works of such beauty just blow my mind🤯🤯🤯😍

Absolutely awesome! Especially the end when you put in the glass insert! Not too snug, not too loose, just right! I bet that felt as satisfying to do as it was to watch!

Wow Olivier you never cease to amaze me with your creativity. Beautifully made 👏

I can't even begin to imagine what would happen in case of a snag. I was wincing through the entire video. Definitely something best reserved for very skilled lathe workers. Amazing.

Huh, I think I finally understand how certain old-fashioned chair legs and balustrades were "mass" produced. I couldn't imagine how anything that wasn't totally round or totally square could be added so evenly until now.

Hey, you might have a good reason to wear gloves, but it is considered dangerous. You are reaching a big audience with your fantastic work, and some people could think that this is fine. NEVER wear gloves or loose clothing when working with rotating machines, stay safe :)

I have no idea where you get your ideas from, but keep going there because you sir have that something special and unique about your work. Truly talented Oliver. Please don't stop what you are doing ! I think the world need something like this right now.

That top-down shot at 6:12 is amazing, I'd love to see more of those

Top level skill No music No chatter . Thank you Olivier

I just love to see craftsman doing their thing! It's almost always beautiful :-)

I love seeing people’s sheds, tools and techniques. ...and love making patterns to help create a complex shape, reproduce a shape and reduce waste.

Je prends toujours autant de plaisir à regarder vos vidéos Vous êtes un artiste !

I am a Certified Wood Turning RU-vid Video Watcher.. and this is new for me.. I appreciate it..

faut reconnaitre que c'est du beau travail et l'idée du tournage est judicieuse ! bravo!

Идеята за тези оригинални произведения е страхотна !!! Блестящо представяне !!! Красиви, нестандартни и харесвани !

Those were amazing. I've never seen anything like that before. Your artistry knows no bounds. Lovely, lovely work, Olivier. Thank you for the beauty you create.

I'd love to spend a day in a wood shop this nice. Love seeing stuff like this.

WOW... for the longest time I was like... four legs? Nicely done as always

From concept to design to fixtures to turning...all phases are amazing. Well done

That was a great idea to make 4 vases at once, truly ingenious, great job! I love that jointer/planer combo you have. 😃

Genius is indeed an infinite capacity for taking pains. Thank you, Olivier - a genius indeed. Best Hugh

Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера Оливье.

An imagination, an the skill to bring it to life. Bravo!.

Um excelente trabalho parabéns gosto muito de ver suas obras de arte Um grande abraço.

Olivier......my dear sir...you are talented and gifted. My heartfelt well wishes in your future projects.FL(USA).

What a cool technique! I’ve never seen this done before. Beautiful pieces as always. 👍

Outstanding craftsmanship you are truly gifted and very beautiful

Bravo Olivier super et encore merci pour cette vidéo tu es un vrai artiste 👋👋👍

Wow! You stated with square went to round then back to square. That was awesome!

Amazing! It also challenged me to think about the build process because it's not obvious until the very end why you can't just simply make one vase at a time with this technique. Well done!

You are super creative and skilled. It's always interesting to see the stuff that you make.

Stunningly inventive and beautiful work, Olivier. A joy and a privilege to watch.

Thank goodness you put your mind to creating beautiful works of art instead of World Domination! Nice work.

Incredible work, dude. I especially like how you did NOT align the middle/darker wood perpendicular to axis. It makes for a much more amazing/unique design. Cheers!

Extraordinaire de voir la complexité des formes obtenues par la combinaison de mouvements simples. Beau travail.

Amazing job my dear friend 👍 Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦👋

Thanks so much for sharing these treasures with us! Absolutely amazed at these, what a fantastic product and what a wonderful process you use to make them!

I guess we could say his skills are blossoming with each new piece he does. :D

You never fail to drop my jaw at least once per video.

this is some mindblowing method for wood turning!

I've seen a fair few woodturning channels now, and while each one seem to bring their own unique style to the table, each one is equally therapeutic to watch. I wish I had the money and space to do it myself as it looks incredibly relaxing, and I've done lathe work with metal in college and there's something so satisfying about it, so I'm sure woodturning must be just as satisfying.

As an old woodworking geezer, I watch you wearing gloves, and not using a pusher on your table saw, and I cringe. At least you left your splitter on - but holy moly. My Dad used to try to save the fingers of professional woodworkers who got lazy and/or stupid around table saws. Sometimes he was able to. But more common were nasty injuries from the kickback getting them in the gut. And look, I know that you know what you are doing. We all do. But when and if you lose fear of your table saw, a horrible accident is on the way. I am so scared of table saws I won't have one in my shop! There is no such thing as "bad luck" in a workshop. Fear is what keeps me safe when I am working. And I am so glad that many tools still scare the shit out of my. My angle grinder scares me spitless, even knowing how each quadrant works. My routers give me the absolute willies! And even my electric plane makes me very careful. When you have had a doctor for a Dad, and he's a woodworker, and he's a repairer of woodworking injuries, you develop a very healthy respect for power tools, and how to avoid being sucked into them, or having them kick into you. I wear bullet-proof chaps when I am chainsawing, for example. And a hardhat, goggles, and a face shield!

Never thought I'd enjoy watching watching a man playing with his wood, but here we are

Hi Oliver, another masterpiece of design. The vases are absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this video 🤗🤗🤗

Talk about mass production. It takes someone with much imagination to do something like this. Congrats. Well done.

This would be a fantastic way to make very unique matching table legs Bravo!

You got my undivided attention with just the thumbnail pic! GENIUS! 👏👏

Maravilhosos, belíssimas peças, parabéns!

Best in the game, by far. Another banger from Mr. Gomis!

Mate that was totally awesome. Had no idea where you were going with it at the start but i was totally blown away with the end product. Just subscribed and will be watching more of your clips

Wow. The ideas you have and the lengths you go to in order to achieve them is really something to watch, and always with beautiful results. Really enjoy your vids, keep 'em comin'.

You have a great talent for wood turning. Strangely It's relaxing pleasing to watch.

So satisfying. I could never do this in a million years, but he makes it look so easy.

It did not look like much when you were in the process, but it looks fantastic. Well done.

What an amazingly creative turning project I've seen yet. Nice!

When you started boring the end, but before you put the glass in, I was expecting these to become a set of table lamps - with a bulb base at the top, and a cord running down and out near the bottom :)

Thank you once again for sharing your skills. These are absolutely beautiful!

hey dude i stumbled upon your channel a bit earlier and i am absolutely obsessed with this in the best way possible. the sheer patience you have with this is frankly amazing, it's inspiringto watch! i never know what you are doing with this at the start, ever, but it's always worth it to stick around and watch (p.s your editing is very laid-back and perfectly suited for this sort of thing as well!) quality content, my guy, keep it up :D

I think I finally get one of your great strengths. You are totally able to foresee and clearly imagine the end result of your careful combinations. This is absolutely beautiful, as usual. Your are s GOAT! (Erm, that is a compliment...)

Awesome work! You could make hexagonal, or any rounded polygonal shape, and for an extra challenge, add a 5 degree twist in steps so the polygon rotates up the z axis by say 90 from bottom to top.

Bonjour Olivier Gomis quelle idée géniale d'une pièce réaliser ces 4 merveilleux vases. Continuez.

Отличная работа 👍

Damn that's a cool jointer/planer combi. And looks skookum as frig.

Absolut interessante Arbeit, tolles Ergebnis. 👍👍👍😎✌️

Just chanced upon your video. Generally skip forward when I watch these woodturning projects - to see how they turned out. But this video I kept replaying to understand how you visualized the end result. Stunning!

Que trabalho maravilhoso parabéns!

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL u r just the best weldone Olivier.

This technique could be used to make railing spindles 4 at a time with more consistency. Very interesting!

Wow! What a neat process you have designed. Every time I watch your videos you always seem to come up with a new jig to help you accomplish what you want. You’re a very creative person well beyond your 24 years of age. God has blessed you with a wonderful talent! Keep those wood shavings flying!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

They look great. My only issue is that it is a lot of wasted material. I have to wonder if some kind of jig could be used to make the same thing with straight cutting. Probably not.

They look amazing. I have never seen that technique before. I have heard about it but this is the first time I have seen it. Such an amazing project to watch.

It's strange when you try to think of turning something "odd" like a square, but when you see it done, Oh yeah, the lightbulb comes on.

That was fascinating to watch! I am always astounded by the talent for 3d imagination that allows someone to first visualize and then execute such a project.
