For sure. Your average beginner would break a wing, a finger, or a tool, attempting this.

@garyzurasky7312 2 жыл бұрын

A little tip that we use in high speed manufacturing that might help you see the corners, get a variable speed strobe light. You will be able to tune it to synchronize with when the corners pass your cutting area. It will almost look like it's not moving at all.

@danbennett4192 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. However, when doing heavy cuts, the lathe might slow down a little and you'd lose the strobe's synchronization; so maybe there's a way to synchronize it to the lathe's rotation, such as with sensors on the spindle. Maybe have the ability to flash the strobe 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x per revolution, for different shaped pieces. It may also be useful to advance or retard the timing so you can "freeze" the wings in different places to make working on them easier.

@zounds010 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe have the strobe slightly out of sync so the piece appears to be rotating slowly rather than standing still?

@mobilfone2234 Жыл бұрын

a strobe is an adjustable flash light, when its frequency meets the rotational speed of your work piece you'll get the impression that it stands still, never try to touch it... there were accidents when the flickering of neon tubes matched the rotation speed of lathes, in a loud environment you won't notice that the lathe is running... I'm an old engineer who owns such a strobe light.

Ashley, words cannot describe the beauty and proportions of this turning. So I will stick with "BEAUTIFUL" Now, a couple of items 1) you and the video guy have way too much fun, but it does bring out that stunning smile. 2) I know that we are expecting a difficult time ahead, however, you can buy a Gilly Suit, you do not have to make one by placing wood shavings all over your shirt. 😎😎😉🤓🐱‍👤🐱‍👤 Such delicate and graceful craft women's ship. It is mesmerizing to watch you turn. The shavings are like little fireworks.

@larrymacaluso9051 2 жыл бұрын

Beautiful platter, nice thin edges, well done. Ashley Harwood l've been watching you for some time now and always enjoy your videos, may l offer a word of caution. Some times when you use the bowl gouge as in 2:00/2:11 your thumb is folded and the knuckle is placed inside the flute of the gouge as you guide it through the cut, if (when) the gouge jams and kicks back, your thumb cannot flex and could receive the full impact. Just a suggestion from a concerned turner. Thanks for sharing.

This square platter 'turned out' absolutely beautifully. I'd love to revisit it in a few months and see how the wood has moved. Do you ever do videos taking a look back at previous projects and how they have moved and changed over time, with humidity and drying moving the wood? I'd love to see what time does to something this thin, both in shape and color of the wood. Just a thought, if you'd be interested in doing a follow up video like that, and the artistic outcome of what time does to this medium. Thanks Ashley, Thomas A. Russell Sr. Amateur turner and woodworker/ wide range hobbyist

@saharkhalili8627 2 жыл бұрын

Very beautiful. One question: on the inside, why did you make the square edges first before moving to the centre?

@craigsummerville8823 2 жыл бұрын

@@saharkhalili8627 You need the mass of the center to help stabilize the corners. Ashley is working very slowly from the corners into the center because as the wood gets thinner it begins to flex and oscillate at those high speeds. That’s why she turned the corners to finished thickness and worked her way in. I’ve turned a rectangular piece of walnut that was 8” x 18” and started at 1” thick down to 1/8” at the ends. It had to be turned at very high speed because of all the air in between ends and the gouge had to move very slowly as Ashley demonstrated. It was a lot like trying to turn an airplane propeller.
