About

Richard Raffan is a professional woodturner known internationally since the mid-1970s, first as a turner, and since 1985 for his woodturning books, videos, magazine articles, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops.

On this Youtube channel you’ll see the tools and techniques I've refined over 53 years. There’s very little speeded up video and nothing is scripted…. you’ll watch live demos similar to those I used to do at clubs and symposiums — glitches and all. You'll see solutions to common woodturning problems.

To learn more about my life as a production turner and what I've made, and about my workshops and exhibitions, please go to www.richardraffan.com.au. There you'll also find listed my books and videos which explain my turning techniques in greater detail than these YouTube videos.

Many thanks to Dave Segal who shot and edited the early videos plus a few of the later ones, and who encouraged me to get these videos online.
