Good idea! I always enjoy your videos, and I always get a bit of wisdom and a trick or two. I am 80 and a lot of the tips I find that I knew years ago and have forgotten. It helps to refresh my memory. Keep them coming! THANKS!!
Great idea Mike! So many times, as we watch a video an explanation as to what's being done, thought process, product used, etc. would be a good thing to have. I think it will be a good way for many to have their questions answered. Take care, Dave
sounds great 👍 maybe some ideas on what woods are best for certain types of project, which woods lend themselves to more decorative applications (stains etc.) - when is it a good idea to use an open grain wood as opposed to one with a tighter grain and vice versa - nothing too exotic, just the woods that are commonly available in the UK
Mike- I've learned so much from you in the past, but do still have my weak spots. I'm ready for you to do this for us newer turners. Thanx for sharing!
Awsome Mike. Always good to revisit even if attempted before, and you explain so well that I would really appreciate rack project you chose to deliver. Highly recommend you to any new turner.
Hello Mike, I think this is a wonderful idea. Will you be covering "green" wood and the process of preserving it for future use? I will definitely be watching thank you.
Hello mate , I shall look forward to the series especially as I have done very little turning for over a year as I haven't been at all well ,So the series will be a much needed refresher for me . Take care mate, Bram
Very good idea Mike. Sometimes another point of view or approach to the same problem can make sense where as another explanation doesn't. Plus there's always something to learn. Geoff
Good idea Mike. I would like to see in this series of videos some hints and tips for those of us who haven’t got the top of the range lathe, chuck, tools, sanders etc and just use what we can get our hands on for our turnings. A ‘turning for the common man’ series!
I reckon this is a great idea. I love watching turning videos. Just a pity most are sped up and no communication with the viewer as regards problems the Turner might face etc etc. I especially enjoy yours because you go into detail as to what you are doing for example some don't say what the use you just see sandpaper you explain that you start with say 180 and go to 320 etc
Even with all that has gone before,Mike, this should prove most welcome. Sanding and finishing are two of my weaknesses, BTW. I'm sure a lot of turners will benefit from such a series. Looking forward to the style of presentation you propose. You have made a good start with this introduction. Bernard.
I like this a lot. It would be helpful to also indicate when you stop to sharpen a tool. Not the actual sharpening, just that you need to sharpen. I still am never quite sure when I should take a moment to sharpen a tool.
I love the idea! Could you make sure to cover how you finish the bottom of the bowl and remove the tennon? Almost all videos do not show this step. Please keep up the videos, you are a gifted turner and teacher.
I look forward to this very much. You have taught me so much thus far and I thank you for that. Excited to see what you have in the future. Again thank you for all you have shared with us in the past.
That sounds great m8 and u can call it turn with Mike. It be interesting to see ur though proses of what to make from that wood . U got my thumbs up m8
A brilliant plan! I’m often discouraged by videos that skip over the “simple” steps. Sanding is a crucial step and I’m flummoxed over how some turners seem to breeze through it with not a single trouble spot (that we know of). I can’t wait for this series as I’m just retired and am diving deeply into the craft (I have far more paint colors that I can ever hope to use). Cheers, Mike! You’ve been a great help to me.
What a great idea Mike! I am looking forward to these videos. I hope you are planning on doing real time turning (as opposed to speeded up 4x or 8x)… I know that, at least for me, I get frustrated with speeded up videos because it doesn’t let me know how long a project will actually take. That having been said, your videos have always been informative and instructive! 😊
Looking forward to this series of videos. I’m sure I’ll enjoy them as much as I did your videos on individual turning tools. The information in those videos was quite helpful.
Belting idea Mike,could even have a look at altering grind angles and approach angles for different aspects. I know modding tools to suit myself has helped my turning work improve a fair bit,but experience is hard won👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😎😎😎😎😎
I'll be looking forward to them... I watched you in the early days ( 8 years ago), when I was learning and picked up sooo much. Now I watch for the artistic content, but direct my students( yes I now teach at a local club), to your videos and techniques. This will be most welcome addition to gain valuable knowledge.
Hi Mike, that would be very helpful to us new turners. I am on week 5. I am not new to woodworking, but have a lot to learn. I look forward to your helpful videos.
Good idea to make short videos covering the basics. But please no speeded up video. There is really no need for it. Whatever you show, please do it in real time.🙂🙂

I first started turning using your videos as guides, along with other folk such as Colwin Way and Jason Breach…all good tuition and in valuable

Absolutely, we desperately need another Mike Waldt series😁👏👏👏
Thanks Mike, I think this is a great idea. It will be excellent for turners like me who have been turning for less than 4 years.
Mike- I've learned so much from you in the past, but do still have my weak spots. I'm ready for you to do this for us newer turners. Thanx for sharing!
Looking forward to it Mike. Thank you for everything you share.
Awsome Mike. Always good to revisit even if attempted before, and you explain so well that I would really appreciate rack project you chose to deliver. Highly recommend you to any new turner.
Hi Mike. Your proposal would certainly interest me, and short videos match my attention span 🌞
Excellent idea - I like your true, down to earth approach which is easy to relate too.
Hello Mike, I think this is a wonderful idea. Will you be covering "green" wood and the process of preserving it for future use? I will definitely be watching thank you.
i'm sure we'll all learn something from this series. looking forward to it Mike
Can't wait
That’s a great idea. I’m looking forward to seeing it. 👍👍👍Mike
Hello mate , I shall look forward to the series especially as I have done very little turning for over a year as I haven't been at all well ,So the series will be a much needed refresher for me . Take care mate, Bram
Hope you're improving matr.
Looking forward to these, hope your over your chest infection. Thanks Mike.
Thank you.
Very good idea Mike. Sometimes another point of view or approach to the same problem can make sense where as another explanation doesn't. Plus there's always something to learn. Geoff
Great news on your new series, Mike….I’m looking forward to watching and seeing what you have to say……All the best with it
Excellent idea! I really appreciate the opportunity to learn!
Glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Graham.
I'm so looking forward to seeing these videos. I find that sanding is a very important step that so many turners miss.
Great idea,Mike.Looking forward.Thank you.
I would love this!!! Please make this series!
Great idea Mike and I for one will be watching them.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Great idea, Mike! Glad you're feeling better!
Thanks Roger.
A great idea. Looking forward to seeing them.
Great idea, I look forward to the series. 😊
Thanks for this, Mike. look forward with interest to this 👍👍
Some comments about lathe speed, depending on diameter, weight, shaping and sanding etc? Great idea for a video series
Looking forward to these videos. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks Richard.
Great idea Mike. Always looking to learn some finer points.
Good idea Mike. I would like to see in this series of videos some hints and tips for those of us who haven’t got the top of the range lathe, chuck, tools, sanders etc and just use what we can get our hands on for our turnings. A ‘turning for the common man’ series!
Sounds like a great idea Mike. I think the experienced turners would also benefit from seeing perhaps a different option to their normal practice.
thanks Mike, I look forward to your videos
Looking forward to the new series. Cheers mate.
Awesome idea I look forward to watching them I need as much help as I can get lol

excellent idea Mike 🙂hope you are now full recovered .
Thank you
Brilliant. Can't wait.
That all sounds very useful Mike.
I like the idea of the 20 minute bite size chunks, easily digested over a coffee and biscuit break!
Great idea Young Mike
I love the idea! Could you make sure to cover how you finish the bottom of the bowl and remove the tennon? Almost all videos do not show this step. Please keep up the videos, you are a gifted turner and teacher.
Yes I can Jonathan.
Thanks!

So looking forward to this. Would you consider a video on a bowl that curves in on the top. Thank you again for your excellent instruction.
Great suggestion!
Looking forward to this series of videos. I’m sure I’ll enjoy them as much as I did your videos on individual turning tools. The information in those videos was quite helpful.
Great idea!
I think it is a great idea. I have most technics down but my approach and problem solving can be much better
Good plan Mike
Belting idea Mike,could even have a look at altering grind angles and approach angles for different aspects. I know modding tools to suit myself has helped my turning work improve a fair bit,but experience is hard won👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😎😎😎😎😎
Good idea Alan.
That is a great idea Mike. I always recommend your how to use each tool to anyone new to turning as they are great. So I will add these to the list.
Sounds like a great series. Looking forward to seeing wood selection for the project

Hi Mike, that would be very helpful to us new turners. I am on week 5. I am not new to woodworking, but have a lot to learn. I look forward to your helpful videos.
As a complete novice, I would appreciate any help or guidance you can offer and look forward to viewing.
I think it's a great idea Mike. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Take care
Thanks 👍
I’m in Mike!
Yes please
Is it a good idea? No. It's a GREAT idea!
