Woodturnings, Freehand Router Carved Signs and other Woodworking Projects
This video serves two purposes. One is to show you an easy way to make and embellish a platter from thin stock as I referenced here: https://youtu.be/GVLyPCjUwHM. The other is to prep two plaltters for an upcoming live demo for worldwidewoodturners.org. I will treat both…
After my “I Quit” video (https://youtu.be/6GGMurMc2Ko), many of my viewers expressed a desire for me to return to the more educational vids. This is the first attempt. In this video I talk about cheap or even free options for finding turning stock. I hope it…

I decided to call this particular series Turn Talk. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but I figured it was time. This episode is about the decisions we often need or choose to make as woodturners. Some of these decisions can…
I originally finished this bowl with polyurethane. But it didn’t dry on top of the Cocobolo for about a year. So I just left it sitting in a shelf in the shop. By the time it had dried it was dull and splotchy in places…
