AND, I still have a sore throat, so this one has almost NO talking!!!
I will be VERY interested in feedback, PLEASE!!!
The video was motivated by an email telling me 2 blanks "blew up". I am always amused at this terminology--sounds like the turner had nothing to do with it.
When I started turning plastics in mid 1990's, I blew up no fewer than two dozen plastic blanks before my first success. It never occurred to me to blame the material--I did not know of anyone else turning plastic, so I expected to have misfires before success!! The instructions that came with the material counseled slow RPM and a scraper (exactly the opposite of what eventually worked for me).
So, I hope those who watch and LISTEN TO this video will learn something about turning plastic. The material talks to you, the LESS you HEAR, the better your turning is going!!!
PLEASE comment---if this is a good way to show techniques, it is sure a lot easier than thinking up 10 minutes of "inspired speech" about turning!!!
THANKS,
Ed
