    Default Thank you DJ! and attached are 4000 words!

    I applied the tutorial to a pen I turned tonight from Woody Pear, given to me from someone on the forum (thanks, I've forgotten who).
    Actually had to do it twice because after finishing the first time I dropped the blank and it put a mark on it, so had to resand and re CA. But this tutorial really works well fro me, so thanks to DJ on such a thorough job.
    DJ, I learnt about how to apply the burnishing cream properly and the speed of the lathe, and actually the application of the CA, the Video is fairly comprehensive, job well done, Amos
    Now, will someone explain how I can get Media Player to Fast Forward, the buttons so marked will not do it?! Amos

    Fantastic tutorial! The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the video is first rate. This should be made a sticky so that future turners can benefit. I spotted at least four mistakes I am making and will work this weekend to correct them. Thank you for taking your time to produce such a helpful video. brava

    Glad to hear that you benefited from it Amos, as for the Media Player, if you hover your mouse over the bar between the picture and the buttons where I have circled it in red you should see where the line is different and a button will appear, just click and hold while dragging it to either fast forward or rewind.

    Also happy to hear that you benefited too Cisco, just hearing that at least 2 of you have learnt from it lets me know that it was worthwhile doing . Will also make it a sticky too.

    Think I might start producing some short videos on how to do things, any particular areas that you guys and gals would like me to do? Let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.
    Cheers

    A short video explaining how to keep SWMBO from complaining about excessive shop time and too many shavings finding their way into the house would be extremely helpful.

    DJ, finally got a bit of time to sit down and watch your video. Great effort, I learned a lot, thanks

    I take you don't use BLO with the CA at all?

    Nope, tried the BLO on a few and then tried the straight CA and just found no need for it, so I don't use it any more. Get a much better clearer finish without the BLO.

    i will check it out when i find some time DJ. Judging by Amos's reply, it sounds like a great vid

    ( if i didnt need to keep myself sane, i wouldnt be here, i would still be doing the large amount of HW piling up - so i will try to find some time to watch it, because my CA finish needs some help )

    In this house it's the other way around!! The shed is SWMBO territory and she is told about dirt and wood et al taking over.............looks like you need to get her a hobby!!!

    Finally got a chance to see the vid and to try it out in the shop. It's one thing to hear '20 coats' .. but another thing to watch it done and see what constitutes a coat.

    Tried it out on a few pieces yesterday and it looks nice..
