Seggy's Dream

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

After all the recent heated discussions on 'global warming" and "rude woodturners", I thought a "lighter" topic might be in order.

As a result of taking a video editing class at our local college this fall, I have posted my first video on youtube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRn_mzDYq-s

This turning, “Seggy’s Dream†is Brazilian tulipwood, Gabon ebony, bloodwood, and pink ivory, 9†tall, finished with Bullseye Universal sanding sealer and Minwax Wipe-On-Poly (gloss).

This is a donation for the American Cancer Society which I’ve posted on eBay at: http://cgi.ebay.com/Seggys-Dream-a-...oryZ4174QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Happy Holidays

MT,

I don't know what to say! Now you're a videographer to boot! The video was great and I'll be showing it to my grandkids this Christmas. Very warm and cute. And for an excellent cause.

You also did a few things I didn't recognize in the video. What tool were you using for that scraping cut at about 6:23 in. Looks like a low-angle bedan or something.

All the best,

Joe

That was a lot of fun to watch. The whole thing is truly exceptional.

A video like that is a great selling tool for a high-end piece of this sort. I'll wager that it helped get some bids and move them up It's not hard to believe how successful the bidding is on only the second day of the auction.
Nice going, Malcom!

Well done. I enjoyed the video and the making of it. Beautiful work with attention to details. Thanks for sharing. GT

I enjoyed the video. Great little story. Beautiful turning but a little unusual for you Malcolm. I hope it pulls in a lot of money for cancer research. I just looked, the bid is up to $1075.00

MT,

Joe, it's just a John Jordan scraper. It has a beefy handle and a reversable cutting bar which can be quickly flipped for going the other direction. A very effective tool I might add.
