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

On this Youtube channel you’ll see Richard Raffan use the tools and techniques he's refined over 50 years and passed on to generations of turners. Here there’s no speeded up video showing in two minutes what should take 30 seconds. Nothing is scripted…. so you’ll be watching a live demo similar to those he used to do at clubs and symposiums — glitches and all. You'll see solutions to common woodturning problems.

Many thanks to Dave Segal who shot and edited the videos, and encouraged Richard to get them online.
