Thank you Dave, this was a very clear and informative video. I was good that you mentioned at what height to place the tool rest and where on the stock the chisel makes contact. I enjoyed it very much.
I would like to thank you for your turning videos. With your instructions I was able to feel safe and safely turn my first piece of wood from square stock to a round piece of poplar with coves and beads. I'm moving on to try a honey dipper today. Again thanks for your great information and safety when making my first cuts
Thanks so much... now, I thought I was supposed to Anchor on the rest and come in contact with the Bevel (not cutting edge) then lift until cutting, but it didn't seem like you were in contact of the wood with the bevel at all, but rather started cutting with the edge by the time any wood contact was made, skipping the bevel contacting the wood first...?
Great question. Because speeds will vary greatly depending on the size of the blank as well as the species of wood being turned. I am hesitant to recommend speeds because someone could mis-understand the information I provided and incur a serious injury as a result of using an improper speed. There are a few websites that will give basic starting points for speed settings.
Straightforward, clear explanation - thank you!

Dear Dave You até a woodworking teacher. Nice to see yours videos. Big hug from Brasil Said Choucair
Than you Dave for a great video. I stumbled across it and glad I did. Informative with clear direction on how to use a roughing gouge. Cheers.
Thank you Dave for posting this!

Would i use this same tool(roughing gouge) to round the inside if the wood was a segmented or stave cylinder???
No! I would use a very sharp bowl gouge or hollowing tool to round the inside of any project.
No talk about speed settings. Why not?
