- Master turner Alan Lacer demonstrates how to sharpen and use a detail/spindle gouge. This tool is the best choice for cutting coves (concave shapes), rolling beads (convex shapes) and shaping ogees (a combination of concave and convex curves).

I have known Alan for many years. He is down to earth and a super nice guy. Also an expert at his craft.
Being unemployed and unable to afford woodturning lessons, I find videos as great as this very resourceful. Thanks for sharing, I've learned a lot from watching the video.

Finally I found this great lesson about freehand grinding a spindelgauge. As a beginning amateur I surched for clear and compact instructions. What I missed the most in all the other video's is the absence of 'why'. Thanks a lot!
Wow! I have watched many, many hours of demonstrations from many instructors and NONE have come close to this video!
Thanks for taking the time to make a video that actually has a result of giving me the tools and knowledge to have the confidence to go practice and get great results! I've always had pointy beads that I've had to sand round because I was doing just what you said would give you pointy bead. After watching this video and understanding what I was doing wrong my beads are perfect!! Your techniques as an instructor are seldom seen on UA-cam or some of the CD's I've paid a lot of money for. Thank you!!
Very good demonstration. I'm just starting and I've had some bad catches but I'm getting better thanks to people like you..
An excellent no nonsense demonstration .
I ain't ever had anybody tell me to grind my gouges in the shape/way that I intend to use them to turn. That was absolutely brilliant. It makes so much more sense now. And instead of focusing on trying to be SO careful not to mess it up, I can use a protractor to get a good idea of where my tolerances should be, and resharpening etc should much much easier!
Thank you
You are a gifted teacher sir!
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to wood turning (3 months, next week) and I am handicapped so I can only stand or walk for very short periods of time. Thus I do my turning from the top of a large wheeled stool which will roll over most chips but still catches on the pieces of bowls that grenade on me. Since I have difficulty getting out and about, a turning club is out of my capabilities and to date have been depending on the info posted on UA-cam by people like you. This is the first video I have seen on detail gouges, so I have yet to make any progress with them, whereas I have found a great amount of info on skew chisels and to date have relied on the skew to create my beads, using small bowl gouges to achieve a cove. But now I have some work in front of me. First at the grinder and hone, then at the lathe. Again, my most sincere thanks for a most patient and informative presentation. I'll be looking forward to your next video.
No clutter, right to the point. Thank you for the instructional video.
As another beginner I found this very helpful. You are an excellent teacher of your craft, and I'm sure that I will return to this lesson to remind myself of the finer points, even as I gain experience. Thank you so much.
Perfect, clear and concise.
Thank you. Practice, practice, practice. I’m a firm believer that if you sharpen your skills on the basics you’ll be able to do anything later down the road. Thank you for the simplicity!
Wow! Just an outstanding explanation of sharpening and spindle turning technique!
I'm a beginner and I found this article very helpful. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. Really learnt a lot in such a small space of time.
I purchased my first lathe today, and I plan to follow your video tomorrow practicing coves and beads.
Great instruction that still applies after many years. Thank you.
Excellent video!! Great explanations and demonstrations of how to use the spindle gouge. Thanks for sharing!
One off the best video clips that I have seen.
Another outstanding video! Alan, you are very, very good instructor!
Thanks,
Mark
one of the best videos about learning woodturning i,ve seen , u really a MASTER turner !!!! thx a lot Alan
Excellent. Especially appreciated the close ups of the appropriate position of the spindle gouge to do concave and convex, starting at ~15". Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you, Alan.
really excellent tutorial. i am a 3 year turner and i learned a few very importants thinks from your demonstration.

Phenomenal demonstration and guide. Thanks for producing this.
I recently had the pleasure of being trained by Alan Lacer at a woodturning symposium where we learned all about his favorite tool - The skew chisel.
I'm glad to see there are more training resources from him available.
I am so thankful that this was posted. I recently turned a tall coat rack. I experienced several instances of run-back with my detail gouge. I became frustrated and ended up not using it. The tips that were given on how to prevent this will come in very handy. Thanks again.
Very good instructional video. Concise and to the point.
Excellent instructional video.
Clear and easy to understand.
Yes, great video. I wish I had stumbled across this a whole lot sooner. Thanks!
this was a great video. something i've been looking for as a new turner.
Great video. Reinforces some techniques in the one spindle class my grandson and I took.
Magnificent video. Thank you for all of the tips.
Thank you for the excellent instruction, just what this 69 year old carpenter needed to try his hand at some turning for relaxation.. Blessings
Great information with excellent demonstrations. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Thank you Just getting started with a lathe that was left me. A lot of very useful info.
A great tutorial on using the spindle gouge
Thanks Alan! Some teachers, like yourself, just make more sense to the novice than others (even between "Masters" of a trade).
Thanks for sharing that & showing how, well done
This is the first time I have ever seen your chanel. And I have certainly been missing out on some AMAZING instructions on wood turning. I am VERY new to wood turning and hungry for knowledge. Well the way you described EVERYTHING was so easy to comprehend. Your style of teaching is exactly my preference. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time to teach this style of sharpening and turning. Your NEWEST SUBSCRIBER MR. B .
You make it look pretty easy. I will take your advise. Thanks for the lesson.
Good stuff... best item on spindle basics I have seen.....

Great tutorial for me as a beginner Thank you. You can eliminate the squeaky belt on your lathe with some talc powder as I did, same lathe. Makes it smell nice too.

He is just a great guy. Very professional but never looking down on anyone. He was wonderful at the 1st State Turners in Del. I actually use a skew now. (His Skews and diamond hone)
Thanks, leo from the Netherlands
This is an outstanding instructional video. I wish that the audio during the sharpening sequence had been clearer though.
That's exactly how I hold my fly rod thank you I'm always white knuckling my way through it
Very well done Hope you will allow Allan to do more turning videos!!
excellent--thank you
👍très bonne vidéo. .. merci
great help thanks
Very good video. I have one question when you were grinding the tool you didn't cool them in water ? aren't you worried about loosing the temper ?
Thank you
the best!
I liked this video,,it helped a lot,,what is the type of tool you are using
Thank you! So clear!! What speed are you working at (RPM)?
Great video. I thought 24 minutes would be too long to watch but you moved the discussion along nicely. By the way what about honing with sandpaper?
What are "saftey squints" rated at ? Very helpful thank you
Thank you so much very helpful. I was wondering if anybody knows where I might be able to buy the diamond teardrop slip stone looks like a card but it’s not a regular card diamond stone. again thank you very much many blessings
Is runback (on a cove cut) more likely to occur if the very point of the gouge makes the first contact with the wood? It looks like the first contact is back from the point a little on the no-runback cuts.
My fingernails do grow out square - I trim them to be elliptical. Ha-Ha. But we all know what you mean. Good instruction. Regards.
I am just getting into turning, & don't know how to tell if my lathe tools need sharpened, also what type or course of stone do I need to sharpen the tools? Thanks
Alan...Will the beading technique you demonstrated in this video work the same on a bowl or is this only safe for spindle turning? Thank you...John
