Instructional Video's
A place to deposit stuff you see on the internet that is bloody marvellous and worth the watch.
Let me start... (Worth full screen?..)
Carving a Green Wood bowl, Black Cherry, with hand tools, old methods, and a LOT of skill.

I bet my Dad would have loved this...
He started on a lathe in the 70's, before the internet, he had to learn "Old skool..?.."

Favourite line...
"You may need an Iron."
[woman's voice off camera}"Where did you get that from?..."
Extra.
Wood filler... get some PVA-type, wood glue, or "Yellow glue" as some people call it, and mix that with the sawdust from the wood you are working on...
Does it accept stain?... the guy says no, but, in my experience, its better than nothing.
Also, use more wood than glue when you do that, the more wood you get in the mix, the better it accepts stain.
It depends on the repair.
If its in a place you wont see, whats the problem?.

No, minor scratches can be dealt with by steam.
Or sanding and re-finishing.
What is "nose oil" anyway?...
