A Basic Bowl on the Lathe
with Richard Raffan
Making a "balanced" well-crafted bowl
In this video, veteran Australian turner Richard Raffan shows you how to make a light, "balanced" bowl that feels good in the hand. Raffan shows you how to get the shape you're aiming for and how to judge a bowl's wall-thickness as you work.
He also demonstrates a range of faceplate gouge and scraper techniques: the grips for roughing out, shear cutting, "back cutting" with a steep- fluted bowl gouge, detailing, and smoothing convex and concave surfaces with scrapers.
Raffan also shows you how to sand on the lathe and how to finish with oil and wax.
