Always trying to show a different way of doing things, so just cut the taper on the bandsaw freehand, and then cleaned it up with the hand plane.

@@RobbieBolog thank you so much, Robbie! I will try to live up to your expectations. Take care, my friend.

Thanks very much Blaine! I look forward to creating more new content.

Hey Walt,thank you very much! I really appreciate your thoughtful remarks!

Thanks very much Dale! I'll keep em coming!

@@BBeingHere Thank you very much. I’m really glad to hear that. I’ll keep working on new videos. Cheers.

@@TimRobertsonWoodturning hey Tim, knowing your experience with turning and Hollowing wood vessels, I’m very glad to hear that you like the video. Thanks again for your great comments.!!

@@dlwyer thank you so much, my friend. I love what I do and I really enjoy sharing it.

You are very welcome Steve,thank you for your kind comments!

@@harladon6229 this is great to hear !you’re inspiring me to keep inspiring you, my friend!

@@cpad007 thank you thank you thank you!!!

@@PeanutsDadForever my pleasure, peanuts dad ha ha ha!

@@woodwhisperer hey Marc old pal, thanks very much for your kind words of encouragement!!

I keep my air hose next to my lathe and blow out the shavings frequently so that they don't get in the way of the cutters.

David, When you lube up the outside end grain of the black acacia vessel, do you need to worry about the interior surfaces too or not? Seems there is moisture loss inside also that would affect shrinkage when drying.

@@rickwhite3112 Hey Rick, as you saw,I only waxed the end grain top and bottom and I don't worry about the rest of it. It's been over 4 1/2 months and now it's dry with no cracks or splits. I have been weighing it every week and it stopped losing weight 2 months ago but I like to be certain so that is why I have waited this long.

@@benjamoskardi hey Ben, that’s great to hear! You put a smile on my face reading your comments.

Absolutely!

Definitely!

Yes Sir!

Yes, please! Thank you very much.

I have to say, "yes please". There is so much woodturning content on RUclips, to see a 'Grand Master Turner' showing his craft, style and knowledge is an extremely treasured experience for people like myself. You encapsulate safety, knowledge and experience together for those wishing to learn who may not have the finances to pay for on line demonstrations or DVD's that may still be available to learn from. Thank you so much for your time, patience and thoughtfulness in putting together these RUclips videos of yours, they are appreciated. Your hollow forms are truly an inspiration for me to start working on when I recuperate from my shattered ankle and finally after eighteen months get back in my workshop. I am particular interested in your patination techniques and would like to know if you have any DVD's available on the tuition of this style of art. Thanks again sir.

Thanks man, that's great to hear!

Hey @nurmworks-4284 thanks for your comments, and keep on working with bandsawn veneers. Thick veneers open a whole other world of woodworking possibilities.

Patrick, I feel your pain, hahaha.Math always gives me time to pause. I wouldn't worry so much about the math,focus more on a full scale sketch or drawing.Once you can visulize the final piece, just look for faster ways to get there. I had to give numbers to make the Producers happy but in my shop,I mostly work off of images that I visulized in my head.

Thanks Greg. Yes my 16 inch jointer (Yates American but just says American on the label) was in my shop back then. I bought it used in 1984 and restored it. On the show which we began shooting in 2001, I wanted to make sure that the small home,garage shops felt like they were going to be able to build some of these projects so I tried to use my other machines that were more affordable to home hobbyist's or small business's. My 6 inch jointer works fine for smaller boards. Sharp knives are the key.

@@DavidJMarks Cool. I remember at one point in the series you showed off "the nickel test" on the Yates... I couldn't remember if it was because you just acquired it or if it was always there and it was just the right time to talk about it. Thanks again for sharing this series.

Thanks very kindly Tim!

@ppezaris Thanks very much! I'm very glad to hear that my videos helped you to get started in woodworking which is an activity that I hold a high value for!

@@cbriangilbert1978 Hey Brian, wood doesn’t just grow on Trees ya know! Hahahaha 🤣

@@danieldean8953 Thanks Daniel! Please like and subscribe to help it grow so that I can afford to pay my editors and make new content. Meanwhile I will continue to upload an episode of Woodworks each week.Cheers!

@@patrickhotra9241 , I have cut dovetails by hand and by router templates. If you work as a furniture maker for a living as I do, I give my clients an option to pay more for hand cut dovetails but they don’t want to pay for it. You do You my friend!

@@hualon hahaha, thanks very much for your comment. I don’t why some people feel the need to attack others who are simply showing different methods of accomplishing their work. For what it’s worth, I recommend Rob Cosman’s RUclips channel for woodworkers who want to cut dovetails by hand. Rob is one of the best out there when it comes to cutting dovetails by hand. He was able to study with Alan Peter’s, whose work I have deep admiration for! One more thing, hosting a TV show on furniture making is high pressure work. The producers always complain that my projects were too complicated and they constantly told me to dumb it down. On top of that I had to crank out 30 episodes a year which was barely enough time for anything else, especially when raising 2 kids.

@@floridabeardedwoodworker Thanks very much my friend!

Yes it is Blair! Thank you very much for all of the videos that you helped me to create! I hope that you and your family are doing well.

@@Woodbutcher00 Thank you very much for your comment, I genuinely appreciate it!
