Design Elements, the Finish v1

Design Elements for Spindle Woodturning, the Finish.
Hi my friends! In this video we will examine an additional element that will affect the design of spindle turnings and in particular, bottle stoppers. It is the finish we give the piece. Using turnings from the same piece of wood, with very similar grain direction and the same shape, we will see finishes as the sanding to a high grit level, the finish with homemade abrasive paste, with carnauba wax, with friction polish and finally with CA glue.

Disclaimer:
You, and only you, are responsible for your safety in the shop and for your health. The procedures shown in this video, (and my answers to the comments), although they are the ones I consider safe, are not necessarily so for every operator (wood turner, carpenter, etc.). Wood is a heterogeneous and unpredictable material, not two pieces are identical, even when they come from the same trunk of the same tree, shop tools and machines can cause damage to the operator, dust and other physical and chemical contaminants may cause disease and disorders when the operator does not take into consideration adequate protection. Always read operation manuals for your tools and machinery. This video can give you a point to start your research on what is the best for you, but, in any way is the only source of information. The level of experience of the operator is also a factor; procedures that may be safe for an operator that has a lot of experience may not be dangerous for an operator with less experience. If you do not feel safe or confident with a procedure you have seen in my channel, do not repeat it. Be safe and enjoy these activities.
Descargo de Responsabilidad:
Usted, y solo usted, es responsable por su seguridad en el taller y por su salud. Las prácticas mostradas en este video, (y las respuestas a los comentarios) si bien son las que yo considero seguras, no necesariamente lo son para todo operario (tornero, carpintero, etc.). La madera es un material heterogéneo y caprichoso, no hay dos piezas iguales aún en el mismo tronco de un mismo árbol, las máquinas y herramientas del taller pueden causar daño al operario, el polvillo y otros contaminantes físicos y químicos pueden causar enfermedad o trastornos cuando no se toman las precauciones debidas. Siempre lea los manuales de operación de sus herramientas y maquinarias. Este video puede darle un punto de partida en investigar qué es lo mejor para Usted, pero de ninguna manera es la única fuente de información. El nivel de experiencia del operario también es un factor, procedimientos que pueden ser muy seguros para un operario de experiencia pueden no serlos para operarios principiantes. Si no se siente confiado o seguro con algún procedimiento que ha visto en mi canal no lo repita. Manténganse seguros y disfruten de estas actividades.

Beautiful stoppers Daniel.

Hi Jack! Glad you like them! Thank you so much for the comment! Cheers! Daniel

Thank you again Daniel. I think I'm going to make bottle stoppers for Christmas presents....

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Rick! Thank you my friend, I am glad you liked it! Indeed, there are many shapes that make nice Christmas presents and are more or less easy to turn into bottle stoppers: this christmas bulb, a pine tree, a snowman, an ornament, and a champagne bottle. Those would be nice gifts for that time of the year. Cheers! Daniel

Orale, Daniel!! Nice demo showing the differences between different finishes. Personally, I like the OB SHINE JUICE or abrasive paste finishes. Those are the finishes I rely upon when i finish my wood turnings. I like the CA finish, but for me it is too time consuming. However, it is the most durable of those demonstrated finishes.

Hi John! Thank you, my dear friend, for watching the video and for nice comments! I agree, I also use the abrasive paste and the friction polish a lot, because they are so easy to apply and provide great results. The CA glue si if you really want to have something that will last forever, but the application is really laborious. Cheers! Daniel

Hello Daniel my friend do you not use sanding seler on thetimber before you apply your finish
cheers Ian

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Ian! Thank you, my dear friend, for your comments! I generally do not apply sanding sealer, I probably should, but I am a bit impatient! hahahaha! What do you use as sanding sealer? Shellac? Cheers! Daniel

[@ianthemonkeyhangerturner]
