    I have seen demos of this machine before. However this is the only one that really demonstrates how to set up and use it. It appears to be just what the sign maker needs for creating one of a kind signs. Not something I personally need though. Still, thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

    Saturday Jan 13 4:15 pm great video lots of information... how do you keep the gouge from bouncing on the bottom end cut? That's the issue I have so I use a round nose scraper to finish the bottom.

    • @conoverworkshops1486
      @conoverworkshops1486 7 місяців тому

      Generally raising the handle slightly when you first sense it cures the problem. If you wait until the bouncing gets pronounced you have to backup a bit and start a new cut.

    I started in a small joiners shop at 16 , They had an 85yr old cabinet maker who I could see was rocking his chisel so I shouted over the workshop to point out his mistake !.. Within half a second the said chisel narrowly missed my head ..I NEVER gave anyone advice after that !!!!

    Excellent, clear video! Thank you. Lots of people have the skills, but don't actually know what they are doing to make it work. Your specific info about the position of the tool, position and pressure of left hand, rotating the tool and angling the tool to cut are all precise and specific enough that I will be able to build my own understanding of the tools behavior from those observations. It will be really helpful.

    I'm glad I discovered this video. I just bought a 55° bowl gouge and I'm having a hard time getting it to cut. My old Bowl gouge is a much steeper angle and I can cut with it all day long. I think I've been working a little bit below Center Line. I'm going to try it tomorrow thanks for posting

  • @grumpywiseguy5992
    @grumpywiseguy5992 Рік тому

    Thanks Ernie. Since I am not that good at gouges and I don't use the skew enough to become an expert, my scrapers save the day quite a bit. If used like you have demonstrated, they are easier to use, far more gentle than say a spindle gouge is. I will look into the Veritas Burnisher as well. Stay safe!!

  • @scottstubberud1137
    @scottstubberud1137 Рік тому

    Your ability with a bowl gouge is impressive but to say that you can’t use a spindle gouge for face work is simply not the case. Watch what Richard Raffan does with them. True presenting in the manner you you showed is certainly not the true way to use it but it is very effective for both roughing and final finish cuts in bowl turning. You present much like a bowl gouge.

    • @conoverworkshops1486
      @conoverworkshops1486 2 роки тому

      I am not quite shure what you are asking here. The flute should always be tilted towards the direction of cut, so for inside cuts it would point to about 2:00 o'clock and for outside cuts (if the mouth of the bowl is towards the headstock) to about 11:00 o'clock.

    • @TheTranq
      @TheTranq 2 роки тому

      @@conoverworkshops1486 I guess at 2:55 for instance the flute looks almost in the 12 o clock position. Also was this green wood or dry?
