Love your channel! My lathe is coming next week, any recommendations for a complete beginner as far as how to use the tools, I'm an experience woodworker, but little apprehensive about using the tool wrong and having an accident
@@johnh5463I'd recommend the channel "Turn a wood bowl" The owner, Kent, is a retired teacher, and it is quite apparent with his ability to thoroughly explain all aspects of wood turning.
@@johnh5463go check out the channel "Turn a Wood Bowl". Great source of information for all aspects turning. He does a great breakdown of each specific tool, reasons for catches, and more. His website in his description has a lot of reference material for new turners for recommended tools and which to make a priority to acquire. I got started back in October, and I mostly credit that channel for my progress
@@johnh5463 Search: Turn A Wood Bowl My comment keeps getting deleted for some reason and I can only imagine it's because of the plug I'm giving 🤷♂️. Kent does a great job explaining the functions of each cutting tool, the physics behind a catch, how to make tenons and mortises properly, and more. He has a wealth of information available for new turners and his background in teaching really shines in his instructional videos.
You only show yourself sanding with one grit of paper for about 20 seconds. How much effort do you really put into sanding before applying a finish? Ive been working on a Sappele bowl for over an hour trying to get it sanded smooth. Its... discouraging... It is also only bowl number 5 for me.
You will get better with experience. Work on your tool technique. The better that gets, the less sanding you'll have to do. My total sanding process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes before finish. I only show the final part of sanding because It's the most boring. If your using conventional tools make sure their sharp and keep the bevel on the wood. You will get a lot smoother cuts that way. If your using carbide you'll have to do more sanding. There are ways to use carbide and get smoother cuts but it's more advanced. Probably not a good idea to try until you get more comfortable with the tools.
@@RcWoodturning Im working on it, just waiting for the time available to take a class over at Rockler. Im using carbide tools, and I think, getting better with them. I like traditional tools better as I remember my time in shop class, but I dont have a good grinder, or the patience to keep them sharp correctly. I would be interested in seeing a video showing the more advanced techniques for carbide scrapers. Im really just winging it out here trying not catch an edge and end up with the tool sticking out of my chest... :)
@@RcWoodturning Ive tried angling the carbide tip so its more of a slicing action than a scraping action, but thats how Ive gotten my worst gouges and catches. I know Ill get better with practice, but for now, the lathe scares me more than any other tool in the shop. If I was going to angle the carbide tip for a slicing action, slower or faster on the speed? Mine is a 5 speed, change the belt style. Ive only gotten up to the middle set so far. Fast spinning things make me nervous.
@@starhawke380 I never go over about 1200 rpm. I wouldn't go over 800 until you get better at it. Don't push the tool into the wood. Lite cuts will work fine. Keep the tool rest as close as you can to the wood. I would use a scrap piece of wood and practice, practice, practice.
I just cudn't watch anuther one of ur vids george, I hate 2 say you need to get a better hobby, this ain't workin out, maybe chain saw frozen peanut butter, just sayin.

A nice plain colour piece of cloth on top of your table/display would really set this off nicely. The work itself is beautiful.😊
@@jvh1000 Ya I've been thinking of some kind of display setup.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍
You do come up with some clever ideas. Now all I have to do is find this video when I’m in a position to copy you 🌞
Thank you!
You can put this video in your watch later playlist. Then you'll have it when your ready.
@@RcWoodturning I appreciate you getting back to me, and so promptly. I’ll check out how to do that tomorrow 🌞
Beautiful project ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful piece of art!
Thank you very much!
Very nice !!!
Thank you very much!
1-1/2" or 1-5/8 forstner?
1-1/2 then sand the sides a bit and perfect fit.

What kind of tools will you be using? Conventional or carbide?
Conventional, thinking about Robert Sorby tools

I don't know of any videos. But basically you angle the tool for more of a sheer cut. It gives a smoother finish.
