Well how about that. I have been having problems with making a box this week. I was wondering what the Ash had been growing in as it just would not cut!!! I was just thinking of the best way to get a hole and start that way when up popped this utube. Mike is a Hero again, thanks for the well explained tutorial.
Hey Mike. You and Richard Raffan are my favorite turning experts in the way you explain simply and clearly with great demos. Appreciate so much your generosity in teaching others in a way that makes me want to get started in turning myself. Still have to buy a lathe, tools etc.! (Last time I turned was in 9th grade shop😁). Been considering the midi lathes or possibly a full size one and really liked your video on midi lathes, comparing several models. Thanks again.
Great review. For hollowing with carbide, there is a hollower that is round but smaller in diameter, it is fast, but more controllable than the larger diameter round cutter. My preferred hollowing method is a pilot hole and a gouge but sometimes the wood doesn’t want to cooperate or I don’t have my mind right so the hollowing carbide usually saves the day.
Good video to show different approaches and tools. Have some claro walnut square cut offs that would be good for an end grain box and lid. I noticed you moved the tools from inside and also from outside. Demos and videos show moving a bowl gouge from the outside to the inside. These would be dross grain. Am I on the right track for the two different grain directions? Made a negative rake scraper from a HF tool but didn't grind the top.
Yes, rim to center with a cross grain bowl. Inside out with a typical end grain box. If your scraper does not have two sharpened bevel it is not a negative rake.
Hi Mike -- thanks for this video. I like making deep, straight-sided end-grain containers, say 4-5 inches deep, to be used as either vases or kitchen utensil holders. I start running into trouble at about 3 inches or so deep -- I'm wondering how you might tackle this king of project?
I would hollow what I could with a 1/2" Spindle gouge and then use a square edge conventional scraper, possibloy with a box tool rest as shown in this video ua-cam.com/video/9-p2sz7t_Bw/v-deo.html or I would use my Jamieson hollowing rig. Here is a video I did on a spatula caddy like you may be talking about. ua-cam.com/video/ujUtJOVu_40/v-deo.html
I've never seen that back hollowing technique before. Seems super efficient, but it looks a bit sketchy! I've got an endgrain box set aside, I may have to pick it back up to give some of these techniques a try. EDIT: is the Hunter Viceroy carbide tip resharpen-able on a diamond plate?
Thanks for the demo with all the different types of tools very interesting
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful!
Nice presentation Mike. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂
Thanks 👍

Thanks Mike! I'm a new turner,so any help is much appreciated.
Thanks Mike for your help. I’ve always had trouble turning end grain. You’ve given me many options to try. Appreciate it.
Thanks Mike. 😊 I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 👍 🍻
My pleasure!
I truly enjoy your teaching, thank you.
You are very welcome
Thank you! always informative and practical
!
Glad it was helpful!
I have tried most of the methods you demonstrated, but usually go back to gouge, carbide, or box cutter from D-way.
We all find the ways that work best for us, don't we?
Good information Mike. Thanks for sharing your expertise
Take care
Cheers
Harold
You bet
Nice demo
Glad you think so!

I'd like to try a cup-shaped carbide cutter, and I'm curious about those ring cutters and hook tools. Thanks for the demo.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I'll have to check as I think only the "bottom" is ground; top is flat.
Watched the video again. Re: my scraper; what would be the advantage of grinding the top to make it a NRS?
Thanks for fresh info , am looking to making boxes and dice and pencil cups , do you have any videos on inlays ?
No, sorry

@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thanks Mike, I'll check out your videos and try some of the techniques!

EDIT: is the Hunter Viceroy carbide tip resharpen-able on a diamond plate?
No, because it is a cutter and not a flat carbide scraper.
look up Richard Raffan on UA-cam. He popularised the back hollowing method to such an extent that some know it as the Raffan cut.
