Richard Raffan is a retired professional woodturner in Canberra, Australia, known internationally since the mid-1970s, first as a turner, and from 1985 for his woodturning books, videos, magazine articles, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. On this Youtube channel you’ll see the tools and techniques I've refined over 55 years. There’s very little speeded up video and nothing is scripted…. you’ll watch live demos similar to those I used to do at clubs and symposiums — glitches and all. You'll see solutions to common woodturning problems. To learn more about my life as a production turner and what I've made, and about my workshops and exhibitions, please go to https://www.richardraffan.com.au. There you'll also find listed my books and videos which explain my turning techniques in greater detail than these YouTube videos. Many thanks to Dave Segal who encouraged me to put videos on YouTube. Dave shot and edited the early videos.

Video Description
Three projects in one! You see all the turning in real time, including some back-hollowing, dealing with torn endgrain, removing chuck marks on the foot, and using a chuck so it doesn't mark the wood. Mortar - claret ash, pestle - Messmate, spatula - box elder. Here are links to the other 4-Ways videos: Tomislav — https://youtu.be/bvfNvwekXLg Sam — https://youtu.be/uquzPFGjx5M Mike — https://youtu.be/yMJQozQ93tE 4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’s the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.
