If you missed the "All Things Woodturning" live presentation last week, the replay is here-

For The Newbies-

Tommy Tomasic does great closeup video work when he demonstrates. This one shows turning a small bowl and you can really see how to manipulate the tools/

Mike peace show how to modify a grinder platform to improve your sharpening techniques-

A week or so ago, we referenced a video where the demonstrator showed how different tools can do the same job. In the video, Mike Waldt does a similar demonstration-

Sam Angelo is back on YouTube. In this video he compares/contrasts the traditional scraper grind to the negative rake scraper grind-

Expand Your Horizons-

Carl Jacobson show why even the most gnarly piece of wood can be worth turning

Thinking about creating your own videos? Richard Raffan shows us some of what is involved!

Richard says he edits the raw video with iMovie

Another video from Richard turning green wood, drying in the microwave and using an ebonizing liquid and buffing to finish. Really cool buffing setup!
