Woodturning with Dick
United Kingdom
Registrace 16. 11. 2020
I've been woodturning since 1986, when I was 12 years old. All self taught, aside from the initial instructions from my father, who had bought a lathe and who's son wanted to have a go, and I LOVE it. I LOVE the way the wood talks to you as soon as you pick it up and when it talks to you during the making. In 2015 my partner Lenore, who is a professional gilder, asked me to make her something small, dark and deep, like a little barrel, I did - out of a small piece of ebony I had in the workshop. A week later she presented me with the inside covered in 24ct Gold leaf and it blew my mind. We then set about making many pieces that could incorporate gilding and we set up a company called 'Moth and Mirror' to sell our creations.
The bowl with balls... featuring Lenore
This has to be my most favourite bowl I have ever made, though I recall having said that to myself an awful lot over the years.
Woods used in the woodturning are:
Ziricote
Join me in this woodworking adventure as I tackle the first time turning challenge of making a bowl with balls. In this video, I use a draper lathe and a Tyme Cub Lathe, an Axminster Professional AP150BS Belt Sander and an Axminster bench pillar drill stand.

Lenore's VERY near miss! Unbelievable reaction from the person who nearly got squished! Please note this video contains curse words. #shorts
no guilding. They look great
Thank you Mike 😁😁👍
Place strips of brown paper bag in the glue between wood layers. Makes it easy to remove those unwanted layers without sacrificing bond strength of the glue joints plus you get to reuse the wood. Also try hot melt glue to bond various layers together. Can remove the hot melt glue with denatured alcohol.
Thank you Robert, both methods I’ve used for other jobs, but this one I wanted to ensure the best join. When I get a chance I’ll try it with the paper and hot glue 🙏👍👍👍👍
@@WoodWithD point to clarify. Do not use paper with hot melt glue. Only wood to wood and around edge of joint. I have made several tenon blocks and hot melt them on the blank. Works well enough to tuen bowl inside. After turning, have a nice bowl foot.
@@robertnorthrup1914 thanks Robert. Star you are for pointing out 👍😁
mug. You do very cool stuff. Came here from Holton's channel (re the bog oak).
Hi Old Guy in Stanton, welcome along! Mug giveaway closed a while ago I’m afraid. Plenty of videos to keep you busy, more videos to follow fairly shortly. Been having a little break from the editing while filling come large commissions 😁😁👍
Bog oak is brilliant to look at but it's a pain to work with. I've pulled up lumps of bog oak from farmland I reckon are 8-10,000 years old based on the colour and their all very badly cracked. Nobody seems to want it anymore!
The quality of what I get hold of varies dramatically from musical instrument grade to quite punky, like this lump. Have a look over some of my other bog oak videos to see some nicer quality being used, like in my toy car 😁👍
Great
Thank you Paul 👍👍
Dick!!! You crack me up with some of your comments
Love it ! Love it ! Your ideas are brilliant. , that wood is awesome ,what's it called again ,wish I cound find pieces like that instead of boring old mahogany,oak and the like....keep turning mate 🔨
Thank you very much Dave! Ziricote! I LOVE it, but it’s rare and pricy!!! That’s the thing, you can have wood like this from timber specialists, but be prepared to exchange for an arm or a leg 🤣👍 A few other bits on here I’ve used Ziricote for - the latest video being one of them 😁👍
Great craftsmanship beautiful and very well thought out I loved them,just the wings are all wrong for me those sharp edges don't sit well with me, please take this comment in the respectful manner it was intended tastes differ, so from one craftsman to another grat job and another subscriber
Hi Frank, totally understood sir. Twas my first attempt at making birds. Had the idea in my head, the angles etc from looking at pictures of robins, I worked it over in my head before sketching it out on a bit of paper. The wings could do with some carving, but they represent for now. May make some more and change the wings next time 😁👍 Thank you for subscribing - I look forward to future comments 😀
Loved the apple , not to sure about the bite in gold .loving your work though
I know what you mean about the bite. But it’s different, and I like different 😁👍
This is the first time ive seen your work ,and ive got to say i am realy impressed with your work and i will be watching you a lot more. Its the first time I've ever seen this timber and it is lovely and the finished bowl is ACE . See you soon
Welcome aboard Dave. It’s a stunning wood to work with, the grain is lovely, ooo, check this one out (same wood): czcams.com/video/eEwYIcyvF18/video.htmlsi=5tpbBAfF-XlINX1_ Lots of videos to come, been having a bit of a break from the filming and editing, but more videos to follow for your viewing pleasure in the near future 🤗👍
Looking forward to trying this. Great video mate.
Only problem is - all your friends and family will then want one 🤣😁👍
😂😂hilarious but highly skilled 👌🥰
She’s on fire when she’s not so sickly 🤒 Thank you Rosie 🤗🤗🤗
Utter genius!
🤣🤣🤣👍❤️
Thank you kindly 😊 I’ve perfected the the process now: czcams.com/video/Sx82bqKPcaM/video.htmlsi=Ypflv81Fa2o1nvb7
Absolutely magical
Brilliant work my wife has been asking me to make a robin for years hopefully you don’t mind if I borrow your idea and make her one ,if I can
Not at all! If anything I’d be honoured if you used this design ☺️☺️☺️ Best of luck 👍👍
@@WoodWithD thank you very much
Nice bowl, Dick. Good technique.
Thank you James. New videos will be coming soon 👍☺️
That is an awesome art piece! The warp just adds so much to this piece. Great work as always
Cheers John! Let me know if you have another barbecue this year and I’ll try and make it 🤗👍
@@WoodWithD cool, I have just sent you an email.
This IS very hypnotic. Well done!😵💫❤️
Thank you! 😄 🥰
@@WoodWithD ....and! Yaay on the number of views
Nice
Thank you ☺️
Love the naration
😁😁👍 Thank you and welcome to the club. New videos will be coming soon 😀
Great video - thank you! Lots to think about now... This is making me think about the benefits of a lathe with a MUCH larger clearance to the bed. I have 12" clearance now, but was thinking about 15", but maybe spending a few more $$ on the 18 opens up some new opportunities...
Oh there’s so many options and the possibilities are quite high, not endless, if you had enough space and know how, you could rig up a custom lathe and make HUGE things 😁👍
besides the great instructions on offcenter turning.... the Ice Cream Break got the like and the subscribe !!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you and welcome along to the not to insane 🤪 More videos will be following soon 👍
Just perfect as they are
Awww, thank you 🤩 👍
Goodness gracious great balls of fi.... wait, no dont put the fire close to this! Awesome project and love the end result!
Too late! 🤣🤣🤣 No I’m kidding, I’m well pleased with how this came out! Loved Lenore’s comments at the end 🤣👍
@@WoodWithD yeah, her comments were brilliant 🤣
Wow beautiful. Love your snappy delivery too great all round
I do my best to please, least that’s what he said 😬😁👍 Welcome along, new videos coming soon
Dick! Are you okay? Where have you been?
Great tutorial mate
Glad you liked it mate! Promise to finish a couple of new vids SOON and start recording more soon too 👍 Hope yours turned 😉 out nice 👍
Great job! Enjoyed immensely.
Thank you kindly. 😊 Are you going to make one?
Great review Dick! I got to look at the 2 smaller ones. One is now kept in my toolbox and the other kept on the shelf by the lathe. The bigger one has a nice few functions.
I love the bigger one! Bigger defo best in this situation 😏
No gilding - natural . Great bird!
Thank you kindly 👍 I did end up gilding the inside of the pot, but none in the other one 😁👍
What a great tutorial. I will be turning Apples , happy days best apple I have ever seen. Brilliant.
Now there’s a comment I LOVE 👍👍👍
Stunning.. Absaloutly beuteful. Mike recommend your channel, so clad, I will be following closely.
Hi John, welcome along! Great to have you on board. I’ll be recording and releasing more video later this year, been a bit of a busy start to 2024 😮💨 Love Mike, he’s taken off and I’ve been with him since the start of his CZcams journey 👍 I refined the process of the making of the offset bowl, which you may have seen already: czcams.com/video/Sx82bqKPcaM/video.htmlsi=CleVrIKEsPYzICCV
"Wax On, Wax Off." A nod to The Karate Kid? Brilliant.
Epic film! Always kinda say it to myself when applying and removing/polishing the wax off 🤣🤣👍
I have just subscribed - Love your creativity, problem solving and have a go attitude, the wood is stunning and the use of bog oak as the stand was a great choice. I was not sure about the gilding initially but it really enhanced the core of this project. thanks for sharing Dick!
Thank you Malc (guessing that from your username 😁) The gilding works great on some pieces, less so on others 😉 Isn’t all our Woodturning a mystery that is yet to be revealed 🤣 More video to follow later this year 👍👍👍
Bravo belle réalisation merci pour le partage t bonne continuation 😂😅
Merci beaucoup. Je suis heureux que vous l'ayez apprécié. j'attends avec impatience plus de commentaires sur d'autres vidéos que vous appréciez 😉 ❤️
WoodMug. Hi dick I am a new wood artist. Your creations are stunning.
Stunning artwork
Thank you kindly 😊👍
Mug. Nice piece or art.
Thank you Leo! Very kind of you sir! The Mug giveaway finished at end of Jan this year - 2 went to the USA and 1 the the UK 👍👍👍 More giveaways in the future, so stick around 😊
What is the mening of the paper? And why can't the extra plate cover the whole faceside?
The paper is to stop the glue going into the finish bowl. The extra plate doesn’t cover the entire side so that you can still get your fingers in the bowl to check the wall thickness isn’t getting too thin when turning down the outside. I hope that helps it 👍 Try it and see 😊😊
Lovely work, well explained.😊
Thank you kindly 👍 Best of luck with yours, I’m sure it will be a beauty!
You are a tremendous artist.!
Now I’m blushing 🤣🤣😊
Nice process.
Thank you Ken! Cheers! Keep the comments coming when you watch a video 😊 Love comments, good, constructive or bad 👍
The gorgeous wood and gold would be just wood and gold without your sculptural skill and imagination! Beautiful work thank you.
Thank you Kevin! I think I may have just blushed 😊😊😊👍 More pieces to follow in a few weeks, been having a bit of time off 😊
Great work with this. Really nice concept and executed beautifully. Think I've got a few more videos to catch up on. Just trying to work through my watchlist which got out of hand.
🤣🤣🤣 I know what you mean! Well not put a vid out for an age, so that will help you catch up ☺️ And thank you as always for your kind words 👍
It looks astounding! 👍
Thank you Martin, it turned out quite nicely in the end 😊👍👍👍
Impressive, and great quality of wood!
Thank you kindly Mulder Project 😊😊😁
You did justice on that burl. Well done. Just some advice from an old turner and have the chuck jaws open no more than 14 mil when it grips the wood anything more than the mechanical advantage is losing.
Thank you kindly, noted and will endeavour to put into practice 👍👍👍 Thank you for your kind words too! 😊
I have a lot of experience with fabric Tufnol. Tufnol's natural colour is that yellow when cut (and it turns our workshop yellow regularly). It goes brown after long term exposure to UV. So that slug has been sitting around for many years. Heat doesn't effect the colour, until it burns and turns to charcoal. The brown section was not from cutting, it's just the nature of the cotton sheets used in the lay up. Tufnol is really easy to turn, with metal turning techniques.
Finally a dam good answer! Thank you! 🤗 If I get any more I’ll make sure it goes to a metal turner 🤣🤣👍
@@WoodWithD Not a problem. My family has been dealing with them for 60+ years. Tufnol have been around for well over 100 years. It's an interesting old factory and process to make the finished products.
@@agentcrm I imagine it is! But, as per vid, I’m not terribly keen on the smell 🤣🤣👍
Seen some of your artwork in a gallery on another of your videos and wondering how much you sell?
Enough to get by and buy more nice woods and occasionally a new piece of machinery. It’s a hobby that more than pays for itself, including associated art fair costs and nice hotels when it’s for a few days away. It’s not enough to retire on and do full time though. 👍 Hope that answers your question.
Thanks. I am a 100% disabled vet and teach other vets how to turn and need funds to buy what we need. So thinking of how to change what I am turning to make the funds we need and you answered my question
@@arlineastman based in the USOFA? BIGGEST earners and sellers for me are off centre bowls and small bowls 5’’ across, with rim embellishment. Great friend of mine in US sells tons of turned birdhouses (learn your hole sizes for the types of birds you want to house/nest, and Biscuit bowls. Hope that helps and best of luck with the teachings. As you likely know, two most important things are shape (uniqueness) and finished (not polly! 😉)
Thank you for taking the time and yes in the USA. Worked with alot of Brits and Aussies tho@@WoodWithD
