Tools and materials I propose:
Tormek Hand Tool Sharpening Kit
In this video I create a carved image on basswood. I first turned the piece on my lathe in order to prepare my circular surface.
First of all I cut my material to size on the bandsaw. It’s diameter is about 24cm which is the maximum my lathe can handle.
I then turned my piece true between centres using mostly the bowl gouge. I also made the tenon to mount it on my chuck.
I then shaped the disc to my likeness and sanded it.
While the piece was still on the chuck I moved it around so I can secure it on my visa and work on it.
Then I prepared my surface with black water based printing ink.
Then I started drawing and carving my shapes. Fy flex cut tools worked great in this situation.
Once I finished my art work I cleaned the tenon on the back and finished it with mineral oil.
And my piece turned out quite nice. I have always thought that printing blocks look so beautiful to me. Sometimes I might like them more than the print outs.
But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
