  In the time I have been watching your videos, I have learned a great deal about the use of scrapers which has improved my turning immensely.  Thank you Richard for all that you give to the turning community and especially fledgling turners like me. I'm 66 and have been turni g for 3.5 years. Cheers mate.

  I love your small bowls. My granddaughter is visiting and I showed her this video and we went down to my shop and made a couple of bowls. I wish more young people could see the magic of turning a log into something on a lathe. It is magic in so many ways.

  When that rag caught, I jumped so much that I spilt my coffee! Thanks for being so generous with your time. A little story to (hopefully) make you smile. Recently and quite out of the blue, a museum bought a large batch of my bowls. I was all ready to feel quite pleased with myself... until I found out they were to be used as props in dioramas of peasant homes! That puts me firmly in my place: simple and utilitarian.

  I wish you well in 2023.  We all have a box of cutoffs just waiting to be made into miniature bowls!
