You see the scrap-end of an endgrain blank turned into a small bowl ideal for nuts, or rings, or paperclips, or keys, or small change, or other small stuff. I hate to waste decent material.
I had the pleasure of meeting Richard Raffan when I was a member of the Toowoomba and District Woodworking Turning Club, a group of fifty members hired a large bus 🚌 and the hire of the bus was included in the price.
Thanks Richard I like making these sized bowls. I just ordered a step jaw set of your signature vicmarc 128mm i think for my 120 chuck anyway thanks again. ( Packard woodwork) have been using the shark jaws often.
The wax is melted by friction on to and into the wood. The sustained pressure of the rag melts the wax further into the wood with surplus melting into the rag. Eventually the rag is so full of wax that, with some timbers, application of the waxy rag is sufficient.
This is an endgrain bowl so centrework techniques apply. I use bowl gouges for roughing down very large centrework blanks and hollowing crossgrain bowls.
Great looking bowls, Richard. I love making little ones like that also. I would really like to know what oil you used to fill the end grain with. It was obviously quick and easy to use. Thank you!
A lovely little bowl. Very glad to see it next to its big brother. As always you explain your techniques with great clarity, my thanks. The socks, waxy and less waxy, keep doing socking good duty. Thanks for another entertaining and educational video.
