A tray needs to be flat and you must be able to lift it easily, so here you see how I turn a flat surface and keep it flat.
This the tenth 4-Ways video. 4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on YouTube at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. In the Australasian time zone it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.
