Weapon like scraper that saves the day 

Hello hi Unfourtually that is similar situation here in Croatia, but you have unique opportunity to be the first of this kind in Turkey,much like I'm first in Croatia, by first I mean those who pass on what I know. A lot of old masters don't wanna share the knowledge,but I was lucky to learn woodworking from 4 of them. Find your path and remember through sharing you will grow even more. It won't be easy and you'll make hundreds of mistakes but those are good . You need mistakes. Just take your time, start with small stuff like turning eggs,or honey dipper. After dosent of those move up to more difficult stuff . Turning is not difficult, it get easier if you do repetive work, its just a lot of practice so don't take it personal and quite if its not going. Just be persistent. If you will have questions,feel free to contact me. I wish you all the luck.

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you for this long reply. Actually I have a lot of questions but first I will try to find answers myself since I know everyone is too busy. Now I'm creating a base by watching your videos and taking notes. I will buy a lethe next month and that will be a local made, 100% iron cast one. In Turkey, now we only able to buy JET lethes but they are quite expensive and too small when you compare to locals. And I don't think the digital control panel and other fancy specs are not that important for someone like me. You mentioned that you've used tools that you can find at the beginning. That's why, I think buying something looking old and rusty will work for me better. Because I can restorate it nicely and it has a brand new motor (the motor is a local brand too, and it's a really well brand in it's domain). And when you have a problem with your lethe, guarantee and support processes are not working well in Turkey too, so buying a local, simple, mechanic lethe will make it easier. Because when you have a problem with motor, you can fix it with a local motor master. If I buy a lethe from JET, that process will be really hard. Because in general, brands are tend to say "It's a personal problem, you need to pay this much dollars and wait for X days for importing that piece". I'm planning to spend minimum 8 hours a day for practice on lethe. And since the wood is very expensive in Turkey too, I will use pallets and recycle them in the beginning. I'm also considering to buy a mechanical hydrolic press (they are cheap) and collect saw dust from locals and turn them into a kind of MDF, I bet you know that process. Watched some RU-vidrs and they were able to make recycled pots etc from only sawdust. Some of them using paper too. So the learning materials will be considerably cheap for me, I hope. I was wondering which blades I need to start with but I think your Crown branded toolkit will work great, so I will try to buy them online and I hope they will serve nicely and be my arsenal. And before even the first attemp I'll surely have a good solid protective mask. The only big question for me now is how to treat to wood at its different times. Like I don't know how to detect the water inside of it and I heard that it will lose it's shape after turning some time later by losing it's water inside. But I think that's a matter of experience for now and since I'm planning to start with pallets that won't be a problem for me. That's it for now. I think the rest is working hard with your hands. Spending 10.000 hours at least to be able to say I know some woodturning. And as a person plays fingerstyle acoustic guitar with an 32 years old handmade guitar for more than 10 years, I think woodturning is MUCH MORE generous than music. You're rolling a wood and it's turning to a bowl. Actually quite simple. The details make it harder and my brain is a detail addict, thanks to ADHD but the ordinary people actually don't care that much. That means I hope I can start selling my stuff in a short period of time and use that money to buy some beautiful wood. Lastly, I'm considering to buy a bicycle and walk in forests to find some garbage wood here in Turkey as well. Thank you very much for your long reply. Actually you could create a "Circle" by using an online SaaS product named Circle and maybe create a paid community there for this kind of people like me online. Because we really don't need fancy woodworking videos but specific answers, just like you share here. Knowledge is the most expensive thing in the world and I think who wants to learn woodturning with you in a good community can give some monthly support to you. If you would like to make things like that I can help to you, too. I can share my Telegram ID with you, if you wish. Best regards.

"need" Ha ha! I hear you brother. Good luck. 🙃

😂😂 I guess what works great is if you first buy her something then its little less painfull to ask for a tool😉 thanks for making me laugh sir and for watching

Tell her you need it to make her something extra special, and then do it!!!😂

❤i 😊

This is what I do………. When my wife asks me to make anything……… My response……I can honey……but I will need a tool that I don’t have……. (works every time)

Glad to help out ☺️

Thanks Boris🤗

Glad to hear that and enjoy using it.... Thank you for watching

Thank you very much 🤗

Glad to hear that and honored to be able to help out ☺️ Thank you as always for support and watching

Indeed ,size of burr is like fingernails,the longer they are the more brithly they are however I usually grind the burr,then once that burr is gone I would use burnisher to get a hook and then use hone , and then again grinder .....

Hee hee! Just got to, eh?

Always one tool away from greatness!@@johnmitchell1614

Thank you sir , appriciate that very much 🤗

Thank you soo much 🤗

No problem, thanks for watching

Indeed ,they make top notch tools and hopefully I'll get my hands on few of there scrapers

Thank you Tom,really appriciate that sir... I used screw driver for years and it does the job but burnisher is better... Here is link to my video on making one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zSS821ncyaM.htmlsi=AcX9zSaZtILzV_2x

Thank you Robert, I still have to work on that and improve, but I'll get there ☺️

You're already there man!@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

Indeeed, thank you very much

Thank you Ray, its a great question and not easy to answer, that is why I'm proponent of knowing a lot of way to get the best cut... Try scraper on the side, negative rake scraper on the side, using spindle gouge to cut the rim, card scraper, even making one from hacksaw blade to get a better angle, and maybe finally spot sanding...since it has a knot probably little valley won't harm ... Hopefully that helps and its sort of thing ,one May work on perticular bowl where on other one it won't...so its good to know a lot of ways to smooth the surface

Thank you, trying my best😀

Thank you very much

Thank you Joris

For sure, but shear scraper is easier to use

Thank you very much 🤗

Thank you soo very much for kind words 🤗 Thank you

Thank You for watching and support what I do 🤗

Hello SJG, I've tried to find a spearpoint scraper supplier here in the UK, but can't find any. Where did you find yours? Best regards.

@@johnmitchell1614 order square end scraper,and grind to spear point shape that you like ... Crown should have dedicated spear point scraper but not sure where to buy

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Yeah thanks Tomislav, i emailed Crown in Sheffield this morning, but I won't hold out much hope of obtaining one from them directly. I don't think they deal directly with the public, but we'll see. I don't want to ruin a tool by cutting and grinding one, so I'm willing to buy one made by people with the machinery for the job. Nice informative video on a tool that I have been missing out on for years. Best regards.

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Hi Tomislav, I managed to get a 1" spearpoint directly from Crown in Sheffield. It's got nice rounded edges for sliding on the rest, and it was a good price at £45 all in. Took a couple of weeks to come from England up to here in Bonny Scotland. Best regards. 🙃

Good question, usually like you said scrapers have blunt angles , but those can get in the way in many situations, the use of that bevel is easier in terms of grabing as the scraper is more "frendly" however I usually roll a hook on most of my scrapers and having around 45 deegres gives hook its sharpness .... And its easier to hone or roll the hook or burr

Thanks Ray for watching and comment, I don't have video on Diamond scraper as I don't use those any more, I might do a video on different ways how to cut a tenon and then I'll show that scraper in action.....

Its difficult to use spear point if the tool rest is really close. Just a personal preference

Thank you very much, you mean to make a video on push cut? Shear cut with gouges?

yes that would be great.

Having 70 degrees makes scraper little more frendly,not so brabby but I also find that the burr or as I like to roll a hook on edge is not as sharp as with around 45 deegres..... Give it a try and hopefully you'll see a bit of differents....

Thank you very much for watching and support what I do

Hi, I haven't put second bevel,but you can try, it should do the same job, only in this case that second bevel won't get you away from catches as this tool works at different angles rather then flat on tool rest

That is great question, the problem with hollow on scraper or tool thats going to be used as one is that now that hollow on top changes that negative rake angle, so my guess would be if I use it flat on tool rest like any other flat top scraper it will catch or at least chatter a bit...it would not be plessent.... With hollow on top you would be able to use it as a shear scraper but it difficult to get a burr on flute ,or remove one.... So I think on cross grain work it would not benefith much since already this tool as it is works like a charm.... Not sure If I helped or not😀

It should still work if its thicker, the downside would be that thicker tools are heavier and little less enjoyable to manipulate on the outside

I find that its much more quallity burr if you remove old one, you don't have to do it but it works little better

Google 👍

There are stores like Steinert, and Neureiter,both you'll find link in my video description.... Depends where you are in Europe one or the other might be closer

Its b91 code and manufacturer says its 100 grit but on other sites they state its 180 grit....

I think most won't have it Djamil, I got square end scraper and then cut the wings off with angle grinder.... Or you can take time and grind them off on the grinder it self.... Thank you sir for watching

Nope I Think they dont have spear point scraper,this one was square end which I convert by cutting with angle grinder two angle wings....

It is though, if used wrongly.

In Canada Henry Taylor has one sold through Lee Valley (sell in the USA)

@@alainnoel2198 Henry taylor makes great tools, so grab if you can

58B0420 is the item number at Lee Valley for a Raffan Spearpoint Scraper, around 85$ canadian. I recently got one: one inch wide
