A very inspirational video. Be good to have a more in depth feature on this very talented maker.

I recently used some ebony for the first time on a jewellery box. The results were fantastic well worth the care needed to work it. I too found the a steeper angled plane and a scraper worked best and that when initially dimensioning the stock it took the edge off the table saw blade as if it was made of concrete !!! The only down side, apart from the cost, was that I seem to have a reaction to the dust if it came into contact with my face even though I wore a mask. I think if I use it again I will try wet sanding to try and stop airborn dust particles causing problems.

Very inspirational , just shows you don't need loads of fancy kit and expensive timber to make fabulous turnings.

This would be a great book to help make another piece of furniture I have looking to build for some time.

A truely inspirational woodworker who will be sadly missed. Thank goodness we still have his books to inspire future generations.
