Boy. . . THIS is GREAT! I've watched this twice now. Can't tell you how many times I've watched the Vimeo series. He just makes so much sense. Thank you Mid-Maryland Woodturners for posting this excellent video!
Absolutely FANTASTIC! I really learned a lot from Stuart's tutorial and I will be searching him out for more. My sincere thanks to the Mid-Maryland Woodturners Club for making his presentation available.
It's always good to watch a refresher from Stu. The 50 plus people that gave a thumbs down have no idea they were watching a master at work. Thanks for putting the video up. Aloha
Of all the excellent bowl turning videos on youtube, this is the best. I freehand sharpen my tools. So I took a quick measure of the bowl gouge that I use most. Turns out it is almost exactly 40 deg. on the tip and the sides. I never knew why it cuts so well until now.
Old style traditional turning is what everything you know is based on. You learned correct fundamental theory and practices. Without you even realizing it, your new ideas are based and formed by your intimate knowledge of traditional wood and turning. Great video, great information! Always respect the Old Masters, they know stuff that will take us a lifetime to aquire. I have found that most of them will share eagerly if approached by someone with sincere, solid, and earnest intent. This video will require me to watch several times to absorb all the ideas and information! Most excellent! Thank you for sharing with us!
You earned a subscriber. I just bought a $99 lathe. It came with no wood turning tools so I used my chisel set. But it wasn’t easy. You have given me so much information and I appreciate it. Cheers.
Great information, years of trial and error, technique and knowledge packaged to teach and explain why and how to achieve desired results. Much Appreciation, keep it up your doing good work. Two hours saves many people years of trial and error. Take care
Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks alot for this video! Did learn more in this 2h video than by "experience" in the past 2 month. Than you very much Stuart!!
Fantastic video, they say the Apple never falls far from the tree 🌳. Stuart is definitely a chip off the old block. What a brilliant tutorial, from an equally brilliant word turner. Well worth the two hours. Your dad is looking down & smiling with pride. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Stuart is an amazing presenter and artisan. Finally someone who explains all the mechanics of woodturning. Lots less fear of doing something with that spinning piece of wood now....
Thank´s from Germany. It´s hard to understand for a bavarian guy, but i got the main things. You teached me very well. I will watch this video more often, to understand your jokes, too. Have a good time, keep on turning.
Dude, I'm new to turning! I just make pens that took me 5 hours because it beat me up. I just finished turning a pen in 10 mins! It took wood off so fast it made me nervous! Thank you so much!
Was glad to see him make a left handed cut for once , for us left handed turners ( we have to adapt quite a bit ) especially using the 40/40 grind and the push cut
Loved the class and love watching Ashley Harwood. I haven’t turned a bowl yet I just got the tools but have been just watching videos I learn by watching cant learn by reading
Thank you I really learned alot about refining my technique and I love the 40/40 grind, cheers! Watched twice now no doubt will refer back to it, so many great tips.
Had the pleasure of watching him a few times at SWAT in August (Ashley beat him, BTW) and he is indeed masterful. A must watch for anyone who hasn't seen him.
This video is just the holy grail. I've watched it 4 times now and I pick something up each and every time. Can't wait for the opportunity to meet the man and watch him live.
Brilliant. Watched the entire video and am truly impressed. Great stories to go along with the teaching. Thank you! Usually it’s a challenge to watch videos this long but so much solid technique and information I want it to be 2 more hours. Thank you!!
Thanks Stuart for this video. I put into use straight away and I was so impressed how quickly you can work, I have only been turning 6 months n love it especially when you get great info like you give. Thank you.
Great demonstration, thanks for posting. I finally understand the physics of negative rake scraping and why my skew would work sometimes and sometimes not, it was the luck,of the draw which side the burr was on coming off the grinder.and which side was up when presenting the tool to,the wood. I see a couple of negative rake scrapers in my tool wish list, and Christmas is coming.
Negative rake is also used in the metal turning industry and has been for MANY years!! Positive and negative rake tools all have their purpose!! I was in this environment for 46 years. I am just getting into wood turning again after a long time away.
@@bertsbug hahaha, Good one dude. In 1981 I moved to NZ from ON. At the sale to get rid of the gear that was not shipped, all the woodworkers were comparing lost and damaged digits. hahaha
Nice video lots of useful tips, tricks and information. It would have been nice to see his notes he was drawing off camera . ..also the picture in picture would have been nice to show closeup of tool position and angle of approach , etc..
Hi, Stuart, I love your videos no crazy music so easy to follow I wonder if you can help I'm just starting turning I have a nice little Jet lathe but I get hung up on the chisels what one to use for the job is there any advice you can give Thank you Regards Steve UK London Be safe
Don't. He is doing 2 dangerous things in the video. He is working without proper protection. Safety Glasses are nowhere near adequate. You need a face shield. You also do not stop a spinning lathe unless you want to get your hands ripped up. Before you teach anyone and proclaim yourself an expert, learn how to safely work. I would not take what this guy says seriously because he is not working safely and setting an example of how to properly work on a lathe.
Is John Thompson’s comment from the John Thompson who made the gouge Stuart commented on? Safety is important always but what is being taught here is from a third generation turner who completely understands the minute of his technique. This is the best video on the subject on UA-cam hands down. I am in about my 35th year of turning and I am still amazed byStuart’s teaching ability.
To get the edge speed up to 40mph if you are using a wet blank how do you stop the centrifugal force sending the water inside the wood all over you and your lathe?
Would have been nice to actually see his explanation of the jam chuck and other explanations on the paper. Other wise nice video and excellent teacher. Loved it.
Dale Listen to those two things again he does explain why you need the jam chuck to be parallel so the bowl cannot creep and the paper was to stop his fingers burning while he supports the outside of the bowl while starting his cut.
One of the most important things I got from the jam chuck section was that you make a bowl thin from the outside in. If you tried to thin it more by removing additional wood from the inside (I thought he did great on that as it was!) it would flex too much and possibly break. When you have the jam chuck and you're working the outside of the jammed bowl, it's like a single solid piece of wood and you can really work those walls super thin without the flex. You can also take the bowl off the jam chuck, examine the wall thickness and re-chuck if necessary and the bowl will remain centered on axis.
Amazing I used to work word commercial 20 yrs ago and now getting back in so thought I would brush up saw this so I watched clear to the end I am blown away Please help what is his email again
What a brilliant video for both content and presentation. As a newbie to turning, I have learned so much from this and you've touched on points I've not found in any other video I've seen, a really great tutorial, thank you! Just for clarification to me, is the bevel and the angle of the wings 40 degrees all round? Regards, Tony, (UK) Well done to the club for a choice pick. P.S. I've watched your dad's video on the skew so many times but I still can't hack it - will keep it for sharpening pencils I think!
Yes on your question. That's why he calls it 40/40 grind. Watch again early where he's grinding. First, the platform is set to 40 degrees for the bevel angle grind, the then shows how he marks 40 degree "swing" on each side of the wheel (see the blue tape marks). The inside of the bevel is kept parallel to the base at the 40 degree mark, and the tool is swung and rotated down from each side. It's NOT easy to do. I've not mastered it. BTW, I learned this directly from Stuart. Ashley, Mike M, Cindy Drozda, and others use this grind and HAVE mastered it. Cindy has a video online (maybe from her website).
Can someon tell me the actual truth. I bought a midi lathe i think its 10 or 12x 16or 18 its a craftsman half horse. Is the low power going to take like a significant amount longer even on like small bowls and studf to turn than on a big power house lathe or is it technique
It's from his own company, SB Woodturning. He stopped production several years ago but Ashley Harwood sells some of it on her website and it appears that Woodworkers Emporium in Las Vegas has taken up new production of some of his designs.
Stuart what grit of CBN wheel do you use for the finish sharpening on your turning tools? I love your videos and would someday like to come watch one of your demonstrations.
Great video.... I think tomorrow I'll increase the speed on my Record Power CL3 - have never seen any one turn a bowl over 1000 rpm CL3 Spindle speeds: 475, 670, 985, 1410 & 2070 rpm (I 've been so used to turning at 985rpm).... will have to use the tail stock as suggested :)

Always learn so much from listening to SB. Thank you for posting.
Excellent, his father taught me how to wood turn back in 1994 from his home in England. It’s been a very useful skill ever since 👍😄
Stuart's bowl turning is world famous, but I really appreciated seeing his approach to articulating the dos and don'ts of spindle turning
Thank you for uploading. Very informative. It's nice to see someone with so much passion be able to explain exactly why his techniques work.
Watching from ZANZIBAR ISLANDS, thank you for teaching us best ideas, thank you again
Absolutely brilliant!! Thanks alot for this video! Did learn more in this 2h video than by "experience" in the past 2 month.

Aside form being the best At imparting accurate, understandable, applicable information He is a genuine nice guy
Thank you I really learned alot about refining my technique and I love the 40/40 grind, cheers! Watched twice now no doubt will refer back to it, so many great tips.
Really enjoyed learning to turn better and easer thanks for putting this so that people like me can learn.
That one figer demonstration part is priceless.
I'd like to quote Richard Turner. "Practice does not make perfect. Perfect pratice makes perfect."
The work done in the video is formidable but, the gouge makes me drool. Thanks for your time and dedication.
Had the pleasure of watching him a few times at SWAT in August (Ashley beat him, BTW) and he is indeed masterful. A must watch for anyone who hasn't seen him.
Such an awesome demonstration. I feel like he´s leaking a military secret. He makes it look SO easy. I´m going out to practice..
Awesome video and a very good job instructing.
This video is just the holy grail. I've watched it 4 times now and I pick something up each and every time.
Can't wait for the opportunity to meet the man and watch him live.
He teaches us the value of always thinking. Tradition is good, but improvements can nearly always be made; gotta keep an open mind.
Thank you so much for the demonstration.
Brilliant. Watched the entire video and am truly impressed. Great stories to go along with the teaching. Thank you!
Usually it’s a challenge to watch videos this long but so much solid technique and information I want it to be 2 more hours.

Brilliant wood Turner excellent video
Masterful demonstration.. NOW I understand about negative rake thank you
Blew my mind. Can't wait to get in the shop tomorrow and give those techas a go.
So glad you shared this! It was excellent!
Really interesting and very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience & skills. 👌🇬🇧🇦🇺🔭
Thank you for the reason on a 40/40 grind and when it’s used.
Learned more in these two hours than watching days worth of 3 minute videos. Need to grind me a new gouge now.
Полезный ролик, подписался, удачи в творчестве!!!
Great demonstration, thanks for posting. I finally understand the physics of negative rake scraping and why my skew would work sometimes and sometimes not, it was the luck,of the draw which side the burr was on coming off the grinder.and which side was up when presenting the tool to,the wood.

amazing woodturner thank you very much for sharing this video
I neeeded this lesson! I will have to practice this but it helped my first bowl after. I had heard of him but now I understand why others brag on him.
Never touched a lathe in my life but I now feel like I could run out and make a quality bowl. Fantastic video
An absolutely must see video!
Negative rake is also used in the metal turning industry and has been for MANY years!! Positive and negative rake tools all have their purpose!! I was in this environment for 46 years. I am just getting into wood turning again after a long time away.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
No problem. I'm always grateful to show my god-like skills to the mere mortals.
Really a class act - great skills. Lots of info. I loved this
Sorry to hear that mate.
I loved working with my Dad.
He was the best father ever.
Really great video and lesson on many points of turning.
i always pay EXTRA close attention to safety advice from blokes missing fingers ;)
I would never trust a wood worker with all his fingers
@@bertsbug Experience is an alma mater without peer, although the tuition can be a bit dear.

Thank for this video MR Betty i come from Germany and my english is bad
I have many Technik looking for this video
Excellent video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for sharing!
Thats a monster lathe .
Brilliant-thank you
You are amazing woodturner
This guy is great!
Would someone put a time stamp in the comments where he recommends the gouge shape? Thank you. Amazing presentation.
Hi, Stuart, I love your videos no crazy music so easy to follow I wonder if you can help I'm just starting turning I have a nice little Jet lathe but I get hung up on the chisels what one to use for the job is there any advice you can give

The closed caption text is hilarious.
To get the edge speed up to 40mph if you are using a wet blank how do you stop the centrifugal force sending the water inside the wood all over you and your lathe?
You don't. Wet turning is wet.

"...The logs are already there..." They literally came off the back of a lorry. :D
What brand of tools are you using in this video? Very good video.
Which 40/40 is he using? Elliptical flute? 5/8? 1/2? Looking for it on the woodworkers emporium. Thank you
Makes it look easy
Amazing I used to work word commercial 20 yrs ago and now getting back in so thought I would brush up saw this so I watched clear to the end I am blown away

So for this cut . Is it mandatory to amputate your index finger?

How long is that handle : 16" or 24 " ?
Amazing! I actually understood at least two words per sentence! Does that mean I can try woodturning?????
