  I find "recovering from a disaster" - videos much more useful, since they are much closer to my reality and it's great to see how you deal in those situations! Thank you!

  Videos on recovering from disasters are particularly useful to a lot of amateur woodturners like me.  Very helpful.

  As an Australian now living in the uk I’m so jealous of the variety of wood I left behind.<br>Thanks for the informative videos

  Thank you SO MUCH for your videos. I&apos;m new to wood turning, and was feeling overwhelmed and lost before finding your youtube. You&apos;ve made all the difference.

  &quot;...I uttered words along the lines of Oh, Dear!&quot; &nbsp;HA! &nbsp;I&apos;ll bet it was a little saucier than that. &nbsp;LOL!

  Good man, a brilliant video. Im a bad man, to say i was glad to see the bowl tumble, because i thought that only happened to me. <br>And fair play to you Richard you did not edit it out like more would do. One of the best, most enjoyable and educational videos on line, <br>Thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

  This video has given me so much hope 😊 I started turning about four weeks ago. I&apos;ve turned a grand total of three bowls 😂 yesterday I thought I would try to convert a half log into a bowl and my bowl jumped out of the chuck EXACTLY the same as happened to Mr Raffan with 50 years experience behind him. I don&apos;t feel as bad now as I did yesterday. Today I am cutting down an 18 inch diameter ash tree (die back) on my farm and turning the 15 foot rod straight trunk into dozens of blanks 🎉🎉 I absolutely love watching you Richard, particularly your lovely gentle English accent after all those years in Oz, greetings from Yorkshire

  Well done Richard! As always I thoroughly enjoy watching a master at work. Thanks for including the “real world” events in your videos, that really drives home the idea that one should anticipate the unexpected and not be deterred. The recovery was brilliant!

  Richard Raffan is the ultimate master at turning timber.

  You show your mistakes in remarkable fashion. &nbsp;Nice to know old pros still screw up(and have the courage to show the world).

  Nice little pot. Like how you fixed the broken foot.
