Thank you for showing us your skill! Do you have a video explaining how to use the detail or spindle gouge?
You are very welcome. I talk about how to use it in several videos but I will make a video specific to the detail gouge. Stay tuned and thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you!
Hey fellow Ohioan! An interesting piece, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Chris for the helpful video from an RV traveling Buckeye. We enjoy the Hocking Hills region for the outdoor experience, topography and artisan culture. IMHO, you live in one of the premium areas of our state! I am a newbie (2 yrs) to bowl turning and have been researching better options to our woodshop chucks. Our club in Texas has just purchased a upgraded lathe and I now want to purchase a personal chuck so that I can keep works-in-process on the chuck jaws during staged turnings & glue ups for segmented bowls, platters, urns etc. Here are my questions on the VM120 chuck: 1. Our new lathe has reverse rotation option so: a. Is there a mechanism on the VM120 to prevent the chuck from unscrewing if the turner wants to sand, finish or turn the inside of a bowl in reverse rotation? b. With the smooth dovetail jaws, can you provide feedback on how much run out you get if you remove & remount a bowl mortise or tenon on the chuck. Any techniques? 2. Your video mentions you have transitioned to a mortise on many projects since it can often be the finished design of the base. I am starting a segmented bowl base/foot and would appreciate your opinion about expanding chuck jaws on a glued up segmented base. The more experienced guys here have recommended using a tenon only. Thought? TY.
I love where I live. I grew up in Ironton, went to college in Ada, lived in Toledo for a year, went to Michigan for 3, and finally made Vinton County my home 20 years ago. What part are you from? So I have never tried reverse turning. I reverse sand all the time. The Oneway stronghold chuck has a set screw that can be tightened to prevent the chuck from coming loose while in reverse. The Vicmarc does not that I could find. This doesn’t affect me because I don’t turn in reverse. If you want to turn in reverse, you will want a chuck with this feature. For finishing and reverse sanding, you don’t really need this mechanism. I removed this screw from my Oneway chuck because every time I tightened the screw I would forget about it and try to remove the chuck damaging my headstock threads. If the wood hasn’t warped then remounting the dovetail jaws doesn’t cause too much run out. It’s kind of dependent on how hard the wood is and how tight you expand or compress the jaws. Normally when I’m remounting, I’m making minor cuts or sanding and very little pressure is needed to hold the bowl. If you are compressing a pine tenon, then you will understandably get more unbalance when remounting. If you are turning hickory or hard maple the jaws just don’t compress the wood fibers much and you can get plenty of holding power without much run out. I am not a segmented bowl guy. So I really don’t have much experience with potential failure of the glue joints if you are expanding into the mortise. So they may be right on a tenon being better for that application. Almost every time I’ve had a failure with a mortise or tenon, it was because of my turning technique. The forces created during a catch will cause even the best jaws to wood connection to fail. I’ve babbled on. Let me know if something doesn’t make sense so I can try to clarify.
@ Thanks for the prompt feedback and useful response Chris. I am leaning toward the Vicmarc chuck to take advantage of using a faceplate with the dovetail jaws. Before purchasing however, I will research reverse turning chucks. I agree with you that I would not use a set screw against the lathe spindle threads to facilitate this capability but as a right handed dude, reverse turning would greatly improve visibility and tool control. If I find anything, I’ll let you know. FYI… Raised in Toledo and moved to Dayton for school and work career. I have deer & hog hunted in Vinton CO many times! Mostly along Goosecreek Rd and Zaleski State Forest. Now my wife & I are retired and full time RV so home is where we park it. We spend winters in South Texas at an RV park that has about 65 members in the wood club. I wish I would have found interest in wood turning long ago but it is never too late to take up a new hobby. Keep turning….
@tdc9047 my land borders Zaleski State forest. It’s a great hobby and UA-cam has made it easier for all of us to learn from each other. There are other off brands of faceplate rings. You should be able to use any chuck with faceplate rings as long as you properly size one with the Jaws you are using. I did see some faceplate rings only have the inside dovetail and the outside is straight. With those you can not clamp down on the ring. So keep that in mind as you shop for one. I could use my Oneway chuck with my Vic mark faceplate ring if I used the correct size jaws. I’m sure it’s better to match brands to make sure the dovetail profile is identical though….Enjoy Texas, it’s negative 8 here this morning
Estes tabor não pode ficar assim tao solto porque o vento forte vira e leva
Not sure what you are saying. In English it said “tabor”cannot be left that loose. Not sure what a tabor is? I haven’t had any issues with this dock so far though.
A lot of words and repetition to get your points across. Hard to stay with.
Thanks for watching and the feedback
Could you take the long case side - pins first - and lay it on the bench, then hold the tail board perpendicular to that (clamp it however you need) and do the transfer that way?
Yes I think you could. You would probably need to clamp the long case side to the bench so it didn’t move on you and put the end flush with your bench. Then you could clamp your tail to your bench against it. Some people use a rabbet and fillister plane to cut a small 1/32-1/16” rabbet on the tail board. Then that would give you a shoulder against the pin board. This would make transfer possible without a clamp. I did find one of those planes recently at an estate sale so will be trying that out next time. They are pretty expensive new! Thanks for watching and the comment :)
Cut the bottom out and no mud can get trapped. Screws will hold its shape I would think.

That’s a possibility.
Colored pencils don’t bleed and mix for me like markers, oils and inks. I had to experiment to find the right pencils. The most expensive, softest but deepest color can smudge. The hardest give the finest line but are not as vivid and have created ridges trying to get darker color. A coat of shellac or rattle-can lacquer doesn’t make em run. And I’ve got a bunch of colored pencils to make visible marks on darker wood, different colors for cuts and location are an added bonuses.
I’m going to have to try the colored pencils! When using markers I would put some shine juice (oil and shellac mix) on the bare wood before using the markers. This would keep the markers from bleeding thru the grain. Basically the marker was marking the shellac surface. Thanks for the pencil experience :)
Looking good brother!
Thanks Tony! Hope your channel is doing well!
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Having a good time! And all the video work is slowing down the growing collection the wife is always dusting! :-) Your grit and woodbutter get mentioned in at least 75% of my videos.. still the best thing EVER for a universal finish!
@tonyturnswood thank you so much for the shout outs. I agree! That’s the easiest fool proof finish. The video work can be exhausting!
If you have a Dollar Tree in your area, they sell a colorful pack of permanent markers that are very similar to Sharpie brand markers. The same rainbow pack of sharpies is $12-15 depending on the store. The Dollar Tree markers are $1.25. Much cheaper and better than crayons.
Thank you!
Beautiful piece of work, great job! 👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and the encouragement :)
hit them with a torch, blend it
Another coloring option, which I use often, is alcohol ink applied between some grits sanding (see Stuart Furini.) Put a sealer over the ink, and then a finish. oil finishes work well, shellac not so much :)
I’ll check it out and Stuart. Thanks for watching and the comment :)
Hey, the wax type painting you might be thinking of is encaustic paint ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encaustic_painting). Paints are usually a mix of wax and resin.
Interesting…I’ve never heard of it. I’ll take a look. Thank you!
what is wood butter
It’s just wax and oil mixed together into a butter like firmness. Here is a video on how I make it. Also can make your own abrasive paste similar to Yorkshire grit. how to easily make food safe Wood Butter finish and abrasive paste for less $$$ ua-cam.com/video/SdFtLwZovtk/v-deo.html
I have been turning tops for over 35 years. I started with plain ones and then went to burning. Finally found a guy using sharpies, probably the guy you saw. Sharpies with the long flexible tip are the best. Now I see crayons. I have lots of those at home. Will have to try them now. Just for interest sake: I started turning the tops for prizes at my children's school. Every month they would have a hot dog day. They paid 25 cents per dog and the money raised went towards the last fun day of the year. I made up little notes that said they were a winner and put three or four in several containers that the hot dogs were in. The child would come down to the office and get their spinning top. Spinning tops are very good for dexterity practice with the hands. I have made more than a thousand of them and still do it over 35 years later. Help your children's school by doing this. It is well worth it. Thank you for your video. From: Petawawa, Ontario.
Yeah I think the sharpies work better for sure. I’m seeing a few new suggestions in the comments I might try. That’s awesome! I’ve given tops to the youth sports teams I’ve coached and to kids at craft shows etc. They definitely are fun and even my adult coworkers enjoy having one to spin at their desk during conference calls. I appreciate you sharing and the encouragement to put a smile on kid’s faces!
War & piece 😂
I have used colored shoe wax and so far so good. A little goes a long ways.
I assume you are coloring the whole thing and not making detail lines of differing colors?
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle , no detail lines. That is correct.
I have some shoe polish I will never use I can try.
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Works really good on porous wood. Wipe off and the color remands in the pores. If you put on to much than use a rag dampen with mineral spirits to remove the excess wax.
Nice but I'm wondering how long the color will last. Hmm
I think it will last but just doesn’t look that great so I wouldn’t recommend using wax crayons. Some other suggestions in the comments from other viewers I may try. Thanks for watching and the comments!
POSCA paint pens
Thanks for the recommendation. Do you have any issues with them drying out in your shop?
I use Sharpies on my tops.
They definitely work great. Mine just seem to dry out in my shop. I was hoping to find something with a longer shelf life. Thanks for watching and the comment!
What if you melt the crayon and use a brush or sponge instead. Melting it would give you a liquid as opposed to a solid. Would maybe be better absorbed by the wood?
It could possibly work for some projects. But for tuning, I think something hard that can make detailed small markings is desired. Small sharpie markers work really well but I was looking for something that would not dry out in my shop. I’ll keep tinkering and if I find a good solution, I’ll post a follow up video with details. Thanks for the suggestion!
I tried the same thing with wax crayons, with the same poor results. A sharpie is better for the edge of a bowl rim sometimes. Here in the UK, I use Chestnut products spirit stains, available in a sample pack of rainbow colours. Finishes never improve a poor finish, they exacerbate it. Good video, thanks for posting.
I’ll have to look up Chesnut products spirit stains. Thanks for the recommendation. Thanks for watching and the comment :)
I've turned for almost 15 years now, exclusively using Oneway Stronghold chuck & jaws 1, 2, 3 & 4, on pieces usually up to 16", sometimes larger. One thing you didn't mention was the superb Oneway "Jumbo" screw. It fits every size of jaws & never fails. I use it a lot. (9mm drill bit). Oneway Stronghold can also be secured against reverse lathe rotation, with a simple grub screw. Oneway scroll is dry, whereas Vicmarc is greased inside. The profiled jaws are all available in smooth dove tailed versions too by the way. Good job on the video too, thanks for posting. By the way, I live in Northern England, right by the Scottish border & your accent is perfectly clear.
I probably didn’t mention the “Jumbo” screw because I rarely use it. I normally use a faceplate ring. Just my turning style I have developed. I also removed my grub screw because I tried to take my chuck off several times forgetting to loosen the screw. I haven’t tried reverse turning so it’s normally not an issue. I didn’t know the Vicmarc is greased. I guess that’s why they seal the back to keep dust out of the grease. If that’s the case I think I prefer the easily cleanable dry Oneway. I really want to come visit England, Scotland, and Ireland. Supposedly my heritage is Scott-Irish. My accent comes from growing up in the Appalachian mountain region (Ohio-West Virginia border). It’s a specific accent not really found in the rest of the USA. Thanks again for supporting the channel and offering valuable feedback!
@@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Give me a shout if you ever get over, but in the meantime you must realise the Scots actually come from Ireland !
Embarrassed to say I didn’t know that. I love history so maybe I should educate myself on that whole region.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Never tried using crayons but you gave it a try. Happy New Year
Happy new year to you as well! Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m going to give those grease pencils a try that another viewer mentioned. My markers in the shop dry out because I don’t use them frequently enough.
I wonder if a grease pencil would work?
I’m not familiar with grease pencils. I looked them up and if they are a harder material, I think they may be a decent option. I might get some and try them out. I think the crayons may have been too soft. Thanks for the suggestion!
Believe it or not they are called hook hangers. I am just getting into turning lures and I had a heck of a time finding hook hangers until I found out what they were called.
I just saw that when another viewer asked. I looked them up in the Barlow tackle catalog and saw “hook hangers”. If you find a cheap source for jitterbug lips I would love a link or mention!
I wonder if you could take a torch to it to smooth out the wax
It’s possible but I still doubt the crayons would be a good solution. I’m still curious what the guy I watched was using. It seemed like a very hard substance but did a great job. Hopefully someone will comment with some other ideas.
how much do you sell them for
I’ve been seeking for $15-20 depending on size. They take me about 15-20 minutes to make.
Fixture expense is independent of wheel material, so either add it to both or remove it from both when comparing total expense.
The clarification has been in the video description. The overall point is still accurate. It is a lot of money and not a necessity for someone starting out. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Someone told me I need an 8 inch well for best sharpening. Thoughts?
That’s the standard but you could use a smaller or larger wheel. You are creating a radius curve on your tool so the 6 inch would make it more pronounced. But it’s not a deal breaker. If buying a new system I would go with the industry standard of 8 inches wheels.
Hey man, just commenting to support the channel, i love your work! How did you fasten the hooks on the lure?
Thank you I appreciate it! Did I leave out that part?! I got small lure screws from Barlowstackle.com and also got eye-screws, hook hangers and split rings. You can use the hook hangers on the bottom and a split ring and eye screws on the end and split ring. Or you can use eye screws and split rings in both locations. A jitterbug uses a hook hanger for reference. A pair of split ring pliers are helpful as well. Let me know if you need more details.
@woodworkingmcdanielstyle Thanks i appreciate it!
You are welcome! Good luck making some. I want to make some jitterbugs but looking for some less expensive lips. Hopefully a video coming this year.
Very cool
Thank you!
Very good video on how to sharpen gouges. However, I do have one suggestion. When you walk into your shop, put your safety glasses on and don't take them off until you leave your shop. Your eyes are not replaceable.
Thank you! I’m pretty faithful wearing safety glasses but I appreciate the reminder and encouragement to be at 100%
Cool! You talked me into making some!!
Awesome. I hope they turn out well for you! Thanks for watching and the comment :)
"TPI" on the spindle stands for (Threads Per Inch) NOT "Turns Per Inch".. FYI
Absolutely. Didn’t know I said turns. Thanks for the correction. Sometimes speaking live we say some crazy things.
Thanks for the demo. Very cool!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment :)
I have a Rio be grinder with a white wheel I think it's 120 grit but it may be 80, and I made my own vari-grind system out of wood and I've done a lot of turning with the tools that I sharpened on that system. I usually give most of my stuff away to friends and relatives but a woman I gave or my bowls to told me that At the craft shoes she goes to I could probably get $120 for it, so I guess my system's okay.
Absolutely! I’ve seen several make their own jig for sharpening that works. Bowl prices probably depend on what market you are in. I’ve sold some bowls for $200 and several for $80-100. I’m in a lower income geographic area. I’m sure in some areas the $200 bowl would go for $500. But yes sharpening is not as complicated as some try to make it. You are getting results and that’s all that matters. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Nice!
Thank you!
Thanks...

You are very welcome. Some guys advertise cleaning products to keep them from gumming up but my father-in-law tried one of the more popular ones and his CBN wheels still gummed up. So I am too scared to try it on mine lol. I appreciate you watching and for the comment :)
Hello again Great series. I’m new to turning and bought a set of bowl gouges but I’m guessing not good. I’ve been sharpening by hand on a medium grit stone. My cuts don’t look like yours I have to use a lot of force and finish is not smooth I’m obviously using dull tools I’m gonna pull the trigger on a couple dway gouges. What two tools would you say I should get first to start making decent bowls? And what size handle( wanna get quick release knob)? Thanks again for all your help
I have tried to sharpen by hand and it didn’t work for me. Your cheap bowl gouges should work if you can get them sharp. I fear that the d-way gouges will work for you for about 5 minutes and be dull and you might have the same frustrations. I would recommend looking at the Wolverine varigrind jig and a slow speed bench grinder with 8 inches wheels. You will need a system like that to sharpen all turning tools so you won’t regret that purchase. Then I would recommend either a 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch bowl gouge and a decent size handle to go with it. I personally don’t find the largest length handle necessary but it is a preference thing. You can get a negative rake scraper (any brand) if you want but not absolutely necessary. And I create my mortise or tenons to attach chuck by using parting tool and/or skew chisel (any brand). But I’m using them as scrapers. Meaning the tool handle is slightly above the cutting edge. If you make bowls with sharp turns at the bottom then you may want to eventually get a bottom feeder bowl gouge. But I made bowls for years before I bought one. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@ thanks again for your reply Always super helpful Do you think a variable speed grinder is better than a single speed Looking to get WEN 5-Amp 8-Inch Variable Speed Bench Grinder with Flexible Work Light. Any thoughts Should I get only white stone? Thanks again
You don’t need variable speed. If you want WEN then this will work. amzn.to/3DzIGyo Many like this Rikon. amzn.to/41RgIIs Both of those units don’t need the stones changed. What they come with will work perfectly fine. You will want a dressing tool to keep your stones true and fresh. Something like this amzn.to/41Rh7dW And here is the varigrind jig amzn.to/4fBewrW
I really like this style parting tool. I have the d-way parting tool and I actually prefer this style. I got one for like $12 but I don’t see one that cheap anywhere. amzn.to/41ObhtS
Thanks a million Amazing Gonna go for Rikon 25 bucks more but… Appreciate the help Almost done with my first lidded box by accident
Hello Really appreciate your videos I’m a beginner and really like turning but as you know tools and equipment start adding up. I really need a sharpening station. Could you do a small video using the old stone grinder to sharpen or shape gouges. Could you use a Veragrind jig on those too. Really don’t know much on sharpen Thanks again for your help
Thanks a lot for the encouraging feedback. I have a playlist on sharpening you can watch. There is absolutely nothing different with how to use a stone grinder. I really can’t easily do a video because I would have to change my whole setup. But I used to have the cheap stone grinder on the same varigrind jig. The CBN wheels and the stone wheels are both 8 inches so no changes needed. As you watch each specific sharpening video, please ask clarifying questions with a time stamp in the video and I will respond with clarifying answers.
Nice boxes Definitely gonna try and make these. Now I need a thin parting tool, thanks What quick release knobs do you use?
I like that cheap parting tool I have. It’s just a simple HSS one off Amazon. I use d-way tools handled with their quick change knobs. I have a video about tools with no handles that shows them off.
Here is the video ua-cam.com/video/XxDh-Tnvvy8/v-deo.htmlsi=pVCWAKp3nGhu2hoh
I made a white oak coffee table out of 8/4. Asked my uncle how much he'd pay for one like it, and he said $200-250. I just laughed
Yeah I have made a lot of furniture but I’ve kept them in my house or gave to my kids. Just too many hours and material cost for me to sell them. People don’t understand the cost of lumber either. 8/4 had to cost a pretty penny!
