Even a turner with a couple of years experience like myself can learn things by going back to the basics. Watching someone else go through the process can open our eyes to a bad habit or poor form that we've fallen into and the aha moment comes in and slaps us awake. I know you stay busy but it would be cool if you ever start making the rounds doing demos like the big names, I would love to be in your audience. You are the working mans instructor, no bull, an everyday guy helping neighbors for the joy of doing it. You are inspiring sir. Have a good day and God bless.
Clubs ask all the time but aren't willing to cover travel and lodging expenses. Seems expected for presenters to pay for the privileged. I'd miss rent payments if I did that.
This is THE MOST informative and useful guide on UA-cam not only to turn a bowl, but to turn wood in general. I wish I had seen this a year ago when I began turning. I actually learned a few things from this. Thanks for making these videos. They are most definitely helping people learn the craft.
@@wortheffort Is this walnut oil a regular food oil? Or is it special oil for woodworkers? If so, can I use just normal edible walnut oil? Would edible oil be durable enough i mean for everyday use bowl? Great video, you are a master in woodturning
I just want to say thank you. Been watching you a couple of weeks. Bought a lathe a week ago and made a honey dipper and a bowl this morning. They didn't come out perfect but I had a blast making them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless.
I'm a cabinetmaker and woodworker born and raised in Hawaii that's new to woodturning and, in my opinion, you've provided this community with the most comprehensible, easily accessible, in depth, and highest quality information covering the infinitely vast amount of knowledge needed to become a skilled woodturner. On top of that you understand that professional level video editing plays a major role in videos of this type! I just want to say thank you and I know I'm not the only person who appreciates what you're doing and how you're doing it.
If you think that this tutorial is impressive you should watch the video on handsaws! A real screwball but massively in depth info through a fun presentation!!😁😁😉 Keep up the good work!!!
Just watched this again (almost 3 years). I don't do turning everyday, I dabble in other crafts. I struggled the other week, turning a piece so this was a good refresher for me. As a novice turner I know that if I get it close, I can sand the rest out. Obviously if I can turn the wood to a nice finish then save a load of time and effort from sanding or even items that have exploded from an incorrect cut approach. It's a shame I can't like it twice.
For years my method has been to find somebody who is my "go-to" person when learning new techniques, (sharpening, dovetails, box joints, etc.) I've been subscribed for a while but have recently decided to get into bowls after years of doing pens. You are now my "go-to" bowl guy. :-)

I really cannot thank you enough I've learned so much about woodworking watching your vids. The level of detail for the beginner is amazing! I just bought my first lathe and was lost until I watched this. You are truly an awesome teacher. THANK YOU!!! -Derek
I don't own any of this equipment and I've never used a lathe, but this video is one of the best introductory videos I've seen on the subject. You've really done a great job explaining some basic concepts for us newbies. Thanks for the great lesson!
I have been in timber most of my life, moulding machinist, 8 inch bandsaws but I knew nothing about timberlathes. Now at 83 I have purchased one and I’m watching video’s by the bucketloads. being left handed I stand on the other side of the lathe, terrified of kickbacks and forming my own way of managing. I must say after watching you on how to do it properly I am getting confident and starting to turn out some nice work. Thank you my unnamed hero your doing an excellent job of teaching us dummies. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
You don't have to stand on other side if you don't want to. The wood or lathe doesn't care. Most experienced turners learn to be a bit ambidextrous because we don't need fine motor skills, just an understanding of leverage.
Wow, I feel like i just had my first wood shop class. I went through a ton of useless videos before i found this one. Answered all my questions, thank you.
Thank you so much for everything... everything you’ve uploaded i was able to take wood shop in middle school but my high school ditched the shop programs the year before I entered and was increadably disappointed. I truly loved wood shop and was sooo disappointed that I couldn’t continue learning. Over the past 6years I have been putting a very micro shop together. The one thing I have always been super interested in is turning. Recently I purchased a Jet Mini and have been turning for about a year making pens and Turkish spindles and have been dying to expand my knowledge more. Now I’ve never signed into my UA-cam account since before google bought it out. Today for this video and all your others I finally had to log on and truly thank you. Because of your videos I’ve finally been able to complete my first small bowl also a carvers mallet. I can’t wait to see what else I learn from you.i never thought I’d get this far. Wish I could apprentice you but I’m a northerner.lol
Thank you for being so generous with your time and sharing this with us all. Great lesson for a newbie like me. This has got me pumped to turn my first bowl when my lathe arrives next week. Thank you!!!
I have watched many wood turning tutorials since I got in to the hobby and this is by far the best one I seen. Very detailed and easy to understand. Thanks!
this is better than a course reference book. I have watched it end to end and returned several times to watch segments. I like how you discuss technique in detail.
Wow, so much content. I can see myself watching this again and again. Thanks for sharing and thanks for putting all of your time and effort into this video!
I always start learning by watching and if the instructor is good I will become an expert. I learned routing this way. Every beginner should watch this video. I am having A NEW Lathe for Christmas and can't wait to set it up.
I've learned such a lot from this video. As a fairly new woodturner with only carbide tools, this has really started to demystify my intended progression to traditional tools. You have a great way of clearly explaining and demonstrating the correct and incorrect methods whilst also zooming in where necessary to show exactly what you are doing. I have bookmarked this and will be watching it again so it properly sinks in, thank you.
Thank you I am indebted to you for the clarity and generous instruction. I well appreciate the many camera angles you made to precisely illustrate the points you were putting across.
Been turning for >10 years, actually sell bowls, and STILL got something out of this. I wish this video was around when I began. Thanks for all ya do, man.
I really enjoy your videos. I like your honest and real approach. I have been watching quite a few of your videos lately as I learn the basics. Thank you for taking your valuable time to teach others. I know how hard and tedious it can be. Thank you, you have helpped me learn
I've been turning for 18 years. I fell asleep watching some other video and woke up in the middle of yours. Man! Excellent teacher! You drove home so many good points along with great close ups. Hats off to you. Wish I had this when I started turning.
Awesome tutorial and I really appreciated your great attitude! You are really easy to follow and listen to and your explanation of the actual physics of what is going on in the wood is outstanding! I actually understood what you were saying! I will have this video on and will follow it as I attempt my first bowl. I'm still a bit intimidated by the lathe and the bowl gouge but that will change as I keep at it.
Hi, I am Trevor from the UK. Thanks so much for this video, you are a great teacher for novices like me. I am now a retired teacher and is so refreshing to see such a professional video. Thanks again and I learnt a lot.
Great video as always. I really appreciate your commitment, dedication and passion for teaching and sharing this knowledge. Your content is truly the best there is of it's kind anywhere. Your passion about what you are teaching is contagious and inspiring. Please keep up the outreach and the outstanding content production. Your level of practicality in everything you present is refreshing. Thank you once again for your contribution. I am literally just starting my wood turning endeavors and every step is wonderful so far but also filled with self doubt and even more questions. I wanted to let you know that you are appreciated. Wish me luck!
Brilliant video. I've been looking for exactly this information. I'm trying to find out all I can before I buy my first lathe and try to learn woodturning. Thank you so much

Really great video. I've been turning off and on for the past 50 years, and I admit that I missed some basic skills! Watching this filled in some gaps for me, particularly how you rolled your gouge in relation to how you presented to the piece. Great advice. Thanks.
Dad taught me lathe skills when I was a kid. He was a wood shop teacher. He’s no longer with us and I’m getting interested in turning again. I’ve got some beautiful burls drying. I visited the video because it’s been so any years and I forgot some of the skills. Trust me. I’m going to be turning on regular wood before working the burl because they can be so tricky. Fantastic tutorial. One thing to ask. On the outside why didn’t you use a regular gouge to even up the outside of the bowl? Instead you used the bowl gouge Was it just to show you can use just the bowl gouge and basically nothing else? Thanks again for a great lesson. Reminded me of my father
I tried to turn my first bowl today. Had a scrap of walnut. Kinda butchered it in spots, and struggled. Took a break, watched your fantastic video, again and clarified exactly what I was not doing quite right, you are the best!! Second bowl was smoother, shaped better, and WAY more fun!! Sincere thanks to you!!!
OMG awesome timing! I'm about to start sprucing a Jet Mini back up so I can attempt my first turn! It's been unused for many years so it needs some tlc. The faceplate is stuck on the headstock, banjo is a tough slide, the tool rest is stuck, and it needs a chuck.
@@JensWoodworkingThings - if it's still stuck, Ernie Conover has a video on some different techniques to use; including how to prevent it in the first place. And don't forget - leverage : ) ua-cam.com/video/vG28DdSPUCA/v-deo.html
I just bought my first mini lathe. You have a special gift for teaching and explaining things to the newcomer. I appreciate every minute of your videos. Thank you so much for your efforts.
Just bought my first lathe and have watched a bunch of “first bowl” vids. Yours is far and away the best and I’ll I have my iPad next to the lathe following step by step. Thank you!
You have NO IDEA how much you have taught me already !! Thank You SOOOOO much !! I have "self taught myself" and realize some mistakes. What I took for granted as " I guess I should hold it like this" is ...... WRONG !! LOL !! Thank goodness I didn't get hurt !! I have a Shop Smith That I love because I only have an 18X20 Shop that's TO full of antiques I'm finishing a little at a time. I'll be getting back into turning real soon, I think you are the best teacher out here in YOU TUBE LAND ! HANDS DOWN ! Again ,,, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
This is fantastic, I’m buying the tool’s tomorrow. I’m having flashbacks of high school wood shop and I had no idea lathes were this affordable. You are a wonderful teacher
35 minutes in and still no turning but not boring at all. So much good info in this video so far. Just bought my lathe going to do a pen then a ring then a bowl.
You are probably the best teacher not just wood working but in most of the instructional videos that I have watched. Keep up the great work. Brand new to lathing and absolutely enjoying it.
Ecellent vidieo for beginners like me - many thanks for going into the detail of why you are doing it rather than just doing it. Indeed a great service to wood turning 😀
Dude... I hope you know... You are FANTASTIC..... all your videos are great... Love your dad when he shows up too.... KEEP IT UP..... I hope I get to shake your hand someday...
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. This is the first video, after watching dozens, that thoroughly explained things. Excellent camera work as well. You are an outstanding teacher. Thank you again.
A lot of videos assume you know more than you might which then translates into getting overwhelmed, this de-mystifies the subject massively... well done and thank you.
This has answered so many questions I had in my turning just half way through. And it deals with a mini, which most other lathe tutorials seem to bypass. Thanks a ton.
WOW great video, I have not turned a bowl in over 60 years. Started with a Shop Smith multi tool and enjoyed the lathe aspect of that tool. Used the table saw then the band saw to prep the blank so I could turn it to a nice bowl. Thank you
i started out thinging you talk to much but as i listened to you you do talk a lot BUT every word is well stated and very nessasary to get this right you have been a great help you make so much sence THANK YOU
i've seen tons of videos on woodworking but never ever seen such a compleat and detailed describing of the whys and the ways and deep digging in the theory of the technics and above all such a huge ability of smart thinking and pedagogic teaching, simply you are amasing , thanks
I turned my first bowl last week. I did it at a class and alot of prep work was already done for us. Your video gave a very good introduction to the entire process and stuffs I did not understand while working on the bowl.
Even a turner with a couple of years experience like myself can learn things by going back to the basics. Watching someone else go through the process can open our eyes to a bad habit or poor form that we've fallen into and the aha moment comes in and slaps us awake. I know you stay busy but it would be cool if you ever start making the rounds doing demos like the big names, I would love to be in your audience.

I can’t imagine the amount of time it takes to film and edit a video this long. A great service you’re doing
I"m about average for a UA-camr. Most of us spend about an hour per minute.
I'm going to try ro watch your video ,but I gotta say ,YOU ARE TOO LONG winded . Just show me what you've got
A DVD of this should be provided with every new lathe sold. Absolutely first class.
If only DVD's were still a thing.....

Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. I plan to watch it again.
Glad it was helpful
Best video on UA-cam about this subject. I am new to turning and have not made a bowl yet. I need a tennis ball now.
I just want to say thank you. Been watching you a couple of weeks. Bought a lathe a week ago and made a honey dipper and a bowl this morning. They didn't come out perfect but I had a blast making them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless.
So clear without being condescending. So helpful! Don’t change anything 😀

I have no idea how you do it...
You presented more useful information in 1 hour than many schools in 1 year -_-
And i'm not even kidding...
Thanks

Dad taught me lathe skills when I was a kid. He was a wood shop teacher. He’s no longer with us and I’m getting interested in turning again. I’ve got some beautiful burls drying. I visited the video because it’s been so any years and I forgot some of the skills.

bowl gouge is the proper tool. Inside or outside curve the math is the same. See my "4 Cuts" video. Thanks
This video was awesomely inforative and helpful. Not just for the bowl, but for all turning.

Sincere thanks to you!!!
That's great.
OMG awesome timing! I'm about to start sprucing a Jet Mini back up so I can attempt my first turn! It's been unused for many years so it needs some tlc. The faceplate is stuck on the headstock, banjo is a tough slide, the tool rest is stuck, and it needs a chuck.

This was AWESOME. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed, now get out into your shop and make a mess.

What an absolutely invaluable video. Can’t believe this is given for free, you legend mate.
Greetings from India. I am a new word worker and getting interested in wood turning. This video was very useful. Thank you very much
Ah i was wondering why my life was flashing before my eyes every time i tried to hollow out a bowl. Seems i was using my spindle 180 degrees wrongly!

Having not turned anything for over 20 years, I found this very good to remember what I had forgotten and its great for beginners.
Thanks
This is by far the most informative beginner video I've seen on turning to date. Thank you for the excellent instructions.
I am a minutia oriented learner, your video is awesome!
Thanks
Great Video, Thank You!!! You have given me the confidence to turn my very first project!!!
This has answered so many questions I had in my turning just half way through. And it deals with a mini, which most other lathe tutorials seem to bypass. Thanks a ton.
WOW great video, I have not turned a bowl in over 60 years. Started with a Shop Smith multi tool and enjoyed the lathe aspect of that tool. Used the table saw then the band saw to prep the blank so I could turn it to a nice bowl. Thank you
Thanks

I've watched a lot of turning videos and this one is the best I've found. Thank you.
i've seen tons of videos on woodworking but never ever seen such a compleat and detailed describing of the whys and the ways and deep digging in the theory of the technics and above all such a huge ability of smart thinking and pedagogic teaching, simply you are amasing ,
thanks
Thanks
I turned my first bowl last week. I did it at a class and alot of prep work was already done for us. Your video gave a very good introduction to the entire process and stuffs I did not understand while working on the bowl.
About to take an intro to bowl in two weeks...watching your video over and over again.
Thanks 🙏
