This was a very good teaching video. You showed how to correct mistakes. You showed him not to panic when you have a catch and you showed how to deal with an irregular shaped piece of wood.
Really love that 4 corner beauty. Some day ill try it. Found a full 2" thick x 10" wide board in the burn pile today. Ill cut it up square, glue 2 up and use that for practice.
Thanks man! It’s funny, I don’t even give it a second thought anymore when it comes to turning a bowl like that. Of course they always have their difficult moments, but patience and awareness will spare your knuckles. Haha.
Great piece. Your working through the issues are spot on. You did a really good job. I believe part of your coming out of the chuck was because your tenon was a touch too big. All jaws have the greatest grip when they are nearly closed all the way. Even the second tenon held the jaws with a large gap between them. Try turning the tenon a diameter that will allow the jaws to be within 1/4” when fully tightened (1/8” would be even better). The grip will be better than what you are getting now. I have learned this to be true, even with my smooth parallel Nova jaws. Took me a long time to trust the smaller tenon, but have come to trust it. Again, great work and a fine piece that someone will cherish.
Thanks, Doug. It’s funny... the thing people say about my tenons most often is that they’re too small. Haha. People seem to be afraid of small tenons. I generally prefer small tenons and find that there’s usually plenty of grip, but there’s always a trade off between the ideal grip and the extra stability offered by a wider base. I’ve turned plenty of big things with ridiculously small tenons without a problem. Then something like this happens. Even with an imperfect fit, there’s no reason that small blank should have come loose other than my hard turning. I even thought it to myself on those first few cuts right before it happened. Turn and learn. And turn some more. Thanks for watching!
@@ChadEamesWoodWorks you’re exactly right. Capt Eddie on UA-cam deals with tenons, size, jaws, pressure, etc. He’s not a fan of a recess usually. The guys in England aren’t fans of tenons. The longer I turn the more I’m in the camp of try both and decide which you prefer. Regardless, you’re doing nice work, both turning and videoing. Keep at it.
I agree... do whatever works best for your own particular preferences... personally, I almost never use a recess. I’ve tried them plenty of times but rare are the circumstances where I find it advantageous... for me, at least. Thanks, Doug! I hope you’re having a good weekend!
Bad catches, I had one on my most recent piece - flying dragon in a river bowl - scary! Nothing to do with potentially being hit, but whether it had damaged the piece. Saw this piece on your Instagram, beautiful! Definitely more fun to watch the YT video of its creation.
Great Looking piece. I really like the shape. I’ve seen others make square bowls similar to that but I think this is the first time I’ve see one that was considerably deeper almost like a case. I’ve done a few square bowls but nothing quite like that. I’ll have find a blank that would work for something like that to give it a try.
Very nice I will have to get this on my list. I have some very green fresh cut English Walnut. Seems end grain would be a good way to preserve those tips. I enjoy doing very odd turnings and this is just odd enough. Again great work. Gary
Thanks Gary! An end grain orientation might pose a challenge because you can’t as easily enter the cut at the tips and push down the walls (points). Instead you might have to put some outward force on the walls which might increase the vibration, but they probably wouldn’t break (depending on the type of wood). I’ll have to try it on the next one. Thanks for watching!
I am just thinking strength of the tips of course. I just finished a turning with 2 vertical wings out of Camellia which is very hard and end grain. Best way to cut any end grain is pulling back up. Just a thought and will try it both ways. I prefer flat like most do. I did do a square bowl where the legs look like your upper section and left a similar window.. Same idea but mine was a bit shorter. So it is now on my list of things to do. But there are 4 or 5 other things first. Take care, Gary
very nice im new to turning i just got a used lathe i would like more information on the tools you use it would be nice to know the size , grind and how many times you had to but on a new edge.
I mostly use bowl gouges - 5/8” and 1/2”. There are tons of choices in terms of steel and treatments, etc. Get a decent brand but be prepared to end up buying multiples of each tool if you turn a lot. I currently have 5 bowl gouges I use for different purposes. I don’t worry a lot about grind angle; mine range from 45 degrees to almost 70 degrees and they all work. It’s just a matter of preference. I do like a bit of a swept wing on my gouges. Sharpening varies... I sharpen maybe once or twice for a cherry bowl, but probably 6-8 times for a bur oak bowl of the same size. I hope that helps!
Hi Chad...I completely understand how you felt the gouging was simple with what appears to be a pretty soft and green piece of stock....nice recovery. Does this particular design lend itself to better results with softer woods. Hope all is well....stay healthy.
If you’re careful I think it could work with just about any wood, but something green or slightly flexible probably makes it easier. Thanks for watching!
Good video. Thanks for sharing the technique and having the courage to show the catch. What did I notice? You have very deep swept back wings to your bowl gouge. You demonstrated very well how a bowl gouge can be your best hollowing tool provided you have sufficient access at depth, to this end your j shaped tool rest helped enormously and without which I don't think you'd have had enough tool control. It just shows what depth you can go to with a bowl gouge that is properly supported. (I assume the swept back wings help as well). The other thing I noticed is how often you use that small oval skew, both for shaping and as a negative rake scraper. What was it? About 3/8th, 1/2"? Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your observations, Ray! You're right about the bowl gouge - it's my go-to tool and what I use for probably 70% of my turning. I like the swept wings for a variety of reasons. The skew is 1/2" and after 12 years of use is close to retirement (I need to get a real negative rake scraper soon). The J-shaped tool rest definitely makes the process easier, but it can be done with a standard tool rest, it's just a little bit trickier. Even a low profile tool rest can make it easier, but the J-shaped one is best (as long as the J part fits inside your bowl). Thank you for watching! I'm glad some people like you are paying close attention and appreciating even seeing some mistakes (and how I recover from them). Catches and mistakes happen to everyone eventually, so no point in pretending they don't! :)
It's a PaperMate Liquid Flair. Sometimes I seal my signature under CA glue and that's the only pen I've found that doesn't smear when using CA over it. Thanks for watching!
Ha! I'm a pale ginger named Chad. I'm pretty sure that makes your statement quite obvious. As a Chad, I'm also every other comedian's impression of a white guy.

We learn from the good stuff and from the mess-ups! Dont be embarrassed. Great video!
Great work , I love that you included the "flub" as it happens to all of us
thank you for sharing

Nice recovery, Sir. We all have one of those days every now and then. Good video.
All a part of the learning curve, the "catch" was a bit of education. That is beautiful work. The curve of the bowl is very pleasing to the eye.
Your information helps a lot,thumbs up
Thanks, Ted!
Really love that 4 corner beauty. Some day ill try it.
Found a full 2" thick x 10" wide board in the burn pile today. Ill cut it up square, glue 2 up and use that for practice.
Great job Chad. You could easily lose a knuckle with those sharp points flying around. I love it.

That is great info for a rookie like I am. I will remember that on my try at a 4 corner bowl.

Thank you for showing an honest video. Great stuff
Thank you! Catches happen to everyone at some point so might as well show it. Just trying to keep it real. Literally.
Качественная, тщательная работа! Замечательно получилось!!! High-quality, thorough work! It turned out great!!!
Thats a nice bowl - I'll be making one tomorrow. Still a newbie at this marlakey.
It turned out better than "pretty good ", it's amazing. Man, you did a great job on that. Love it.
Thanks so much! 😁
Nice bowl. Thanks for showing how to do that.
thanks for watching!
looks good, and thanks for showing your technique ...I think I'd have had a heart attack with that catch..cheers
Great idea, nicely done!
very nice project!
Great project Chad!
And wonderful instruction!!
Thanks so much!
Great bowl, Chad!
Thanks, Rick!
Very nice, unique and creative. Good job!
Thank you very much!
Lovely job I liked how you finished the bottom
That's an awesome bowl like the high corners great job Chad enjoyed this informative video
Thanks, Rich!
Very interesting! Yeah, a video that goes perfectly from star to finish misses many good opportunities to teach! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I thought it might throw, when I saw the piece shuddering a couple of times just prior.
Lovely shape.
Very very nice work👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing a very informative video, the bowl turned out really well. That catch made me jump though.
Lol. Yeah, catches are never fun. 😬 I’d give that one a 6 out of 10.
Beautiful piece 😊🤗
Nice job, I would like to give it a try. Bruce in Canada
Thanks for watching, Bruce!
Very cool, gotta watch those knuckles.
That's the truth, for sure!
Great vidéo man ! Tell me where do you buy this nice gouge please ! Thank you and keep the great work’s 😊
Excelente forma... esta genial como la hizo..
Muy buen trabajo
I loved watching this, nice job..
Thanks!
Nice job, Chad! Adding it to my list! :)
Glad you liked it!

I liked the talking as you turn. What size was the blank to start ? turned out great.
It was about 5x5x6 inches. Thanks!
I dare say this...but you made sanding kind of fun! What pen do you use to sign your work? Looked pretty nice.
It's a PaperMate Liquid Flair. Sometimes I seal my signature under CA glue and that's the only pen I've found that doesn't smear when using CA over it. Thanks for watching!
What size blank did you start with
Nice work, what sizes of bowl gouges are you using
I mostly use 3/8" and 1/2" bowl gouges. Thanks for watching & subscribing!
Thanks, I thought the big one looked bigger than 1/2” that’s why I ask. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.
Whst size blank did you start with
je pense que ton bol a lâcher car ton tenon était trop gros par rapport a ton mandrin .mais jolie réalisation
Keep calm and carry on. 🥴
Wow
