I appreciate the fact that you aren't afraid to show mistakes and then explaining why they happened. Most people only want to show the edited final version. You are a very talented person Ashley! Keep up the great work!
I could feel my heart beating a little faster, watching that handle spinning around. But, I am glad that you showed that fail. What a powerful and valuable lesson. Thank you.
Thank you for showing the entire video. People need to realize that even the pros can have things go wrong and we need to always keep safety in mind. That was an excellent example. I really enjoyed that piece.
Showing the mistakes only shows how professional and real you are. Your work is artistic and elegant, but your honesty makes you an awesome teacher. I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much for all your videos.
I love that you showed that even someone as talented as you has failures. I think it takes a lot of guts to turn that piece with the handle whipping around time that! Rock on.
LOL. that epic fail came as a complete surprise without a click baiting title. I love it. congrats, Ms. Harwood, you got my lathing bug restarted and i'm ready for a class now.
My woodworking eye thought surely that scoop/ladle was a glue up job. But NO! Impressive Ashley! Anyone with half an eye can see your talent/skill. I know I like what I see!😆😘❤️✌️
Hi Ashley. I have made a few items with handles spinning around the same, and a good trick I worked out was to cut a piece of pool noodle and hot glue it on to the handle. You can see it better and you have a better chance if you get too close , by being hit with just with the foam.
A person learns more from 1 mistake than 100 successes. Showing what caused it to fail imprinted on anyone who watched the video. Keep up the good work 👏
So sorry to hear about your cameraman. Here’s wishing for a speedy recovery. And thank you for showing the reality of woodworking of any kind - sometimes things don’t workout, but we can all learn from them. It is always an ongoing learning experience, but isn’t that what life is all about? Cheers to you!
Nice to know that even someone as knowledgeable and experienced as you can have failures. Glad you showed it and explained the lessons learned. So good. Thanks for sharing.
Very skilled wood turning, I can see how much control you have using hand tools. Glad you didn't hide the mistake, that's how we all learn. I don't even know how I got here, but glad I did :-)
That was really clever - I've never seen a wood turning video before that moved the boring/carving axis on the entire piece in the way that you did here. Your videos are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Hi Bond, I noticed that tool tool. I did see a newbie Russian do that too but he didn't know he didn't invent the technique. Sort of like a chair builder's spoon bit.
Hi Ashley from the UK. I've just discovered your UA-cam videos. I learnt so much from your fail. We all make these mistakes, it's the nature of the material we work with. Your explanation was really useful. Thank you!
Hi Ashley, I saw some similar pieces from the old days and often the crafters used special wood pieces. For example a branching area of a tree or other parts where the grain structure of the wood is weird. You would never use it for normal woodworking, but for special use cases they were perfect. Very similar to wood bending. Thanks for sharing.
Sadly, the young lady must have missed your comment. It should hold a ranking in *Top Comments*, as it is extremely important to know! Wakodahatchee Chris
Stunningly pretty lady. I wonder what the reaction would be if she wore that dust mask to the grocery store? I think it would be more effective than anything commonly available these days
Well-wishes and prayers for your friend. Another way I've done scoops or spoons is to start with a longer blank and turn the bowl first (in the center of the blank - everything is balanced), then go the the spindle turning, then remove the "dead" handle. Thanks for the post!
Love your video's you explain things so easy which makes things easy to follow you have such a beautiful smile keep making these video's keep safe Regards Steve UK London
Awesome. Thanks for including the part showing the handle breaking away. That’s the lesson here as well as your last warning to keep fingers on the right side of the tool rest,
Have I to resubscribe to that channel, ...? Because woodturning is exactly what I want to see on an woodturningchannel..... Thanks for sharing your talent an craftwomanship, cheers from Luxembourg in the pandamic europe, stay safe and wear a masks 😎🇱🇺👍
What a treat! I love watching wood turning videos. I find them very soothing in these troubled times. You're the first woman I've run across on YT doing this. I LOVE your Darth Vader helmet and visor. The bowl of the ladle, by itself, would make a lovely cup for sake!
I'm so glad you showed the handle breaking with an explanation! As a new wood Turner it is awesome to hear your explanation. Everyone has different ways of explaining things and that hit home! Thanks your amazing. Also super excited just signed up for your guild classes!!
Appreciate your candor and instructions on how to succeed with the project! Good to be honest about our mistakes and always learn from them! Stay safe.....
Not being a turner (yet), I was wondering how you were going to dig the scoop. Genius process. I also liked this video for just being simple and showing the process of the project. Well done, master turner. :)
Gah, my heart dropped when that handle went flying! But I actually really appreciate you sharing this and the why of it. I will store that information for a time when I am brave enough to try this!😊
Perfect timing for a ladle, soup 🍜 and winter seem to go hand in hand. It’s a good thing you are a professional, because from a neophyte’s perspective that looks incredibly dangerous 😳 great project as always!
Oh thank you so much for showing that handle breaking, I recently broke a piece I had been working on for a few days, it feels good to know pros do it too sometimes ! Great work!
Another Woman MAKER! Yessssss!! SO happy to have found you! Was on the suggestion bar while watching another wood-turning video. You my friend, have a new forever fan. :-)
its always good when #2 works out well ;D nice work Ashley, love your work and energy! Hope your camera guy gets well fast! tell him to eat a few oranges!!
Oh my goodness! What a crazy, awesome video! I was just enjoying the show, admiring the MAD skills...then wondering, well how is she going to do the bowl...THEN IT WAS, CLEAR PROP TIME! Lol! Glad it all good, it did make for GREAT video! IMHO. But Ashley YOU DO have some incredible skills! Well Done! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome project video. I definitely jumped when the first one blew apart. I tend not to use oak, ash, most walnut due to it being porous where as cherry is a diffuse porous.
Hi Ashely hope your video guy is doing well and getting better. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you and your family from mine here in New Zealand. take care - Kevin
I don’t think I could ever free hand a sphere that well. Would be a great video to get some sphere turning tips maybe. Great video though Ashley. Enjoy the Holidays.
Great job. That spinning handle was intimidating. Not sure my lathe has that much clearance to try that. Glad you were not injured during the mishap. Thank you for explaining why it happened.
Thanks for the lessons shared with this one. Glad to hear Pat is back... I was thinking it had been a little too quiet in your workshop in recent days, ;-). Have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe!
Ashley, that's a beautiful piece~! I was expecting you to be turning 2 pieces to make the ladle, but when you put the single piece in the jam chuck and spun it up, I thought OMG, this is an accident waiting to happen. Not questioning you as a pro turner, but I know that if that was me attempting this maneuver, I'd have wound up in the E.R. ;-) Thanks for the inadvertent safety lesson on grain direction. So happy that you were not in the path of that projectile~!! I'm sure the live oak piece would have been very nice, but the cherry one looked great~! Always love seeing you in action in your shop~!!
I appreciate the fact that you aren't afraid to show mistakes and then explaining why they happened. Most people only want to show the edited final version. You are a very talented person Ashley! Keep up the great work!

No better teacher than having something like that happen. You just never forget those lessons. Happy you didn't get hurt.

Nice video, never seen that technique of holding the cup. It’s easy to see you care, both about woodworking and people. Breath of fresh air
Thanks for showing both attempts. Makes me feel better about my failed turnings when I see that this kind of thing happens to a pro like you.
This is amazing - you turned a wooden sphere by hand! Very well done!
Nice to know that even someone as knowledgeable and experienced as you can have failures. Glad you showed it and explained the lessons learned. So good. Thanks for sharing.
You did that sphere free hand! Thats outstanding work. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.
Its nice to know that even professionals can have failures. I learned a great deal from this video. Thank you very much.
What a beautiful smile!! It makes a gloomy day just dissapear!
Wow! Scared me to death when you put it in the jam chuck! You are the best.
Beautiful work!!

At 5:35, I love how you are still breathing clean air when the dust flies
Stunningly pretty lady.

Always amazing to see you work. Love that you explain exactly why the break happened and ways to minimize it. Great teaching moment.

Love your video's you explain things so easy which makes things easy to follow you have such a beautiful smile keep making these video's keep safe

Thank you for showing your mistakes. It means the world to me that you show it, explain why it happened, and also how to fix it. Thank you.
Awesome. Thanks for including the part showing the handle breaking away. That’s the lesson here as well as your last warning to keep fingers on the right side of the tool rest,
Always fascinating watching you create, came out fantastic
Have I to resubscribe to that channel, ...? Because woodturning is exactly what I want to see on an woodturningchannel.....

Thank you so much!
You deserve it!
Your smile gets me every time!!
Thank you, Stoney...
Good job Ashley! The failures are the best way to learn!
Live Oak. I have a ton of it on my property. Working on a burl now. Great video, Ashley. Keep up the good work.
Please give your video guys my best wishes for a good recovery! Love your videos 👍
I'm so glad you showed the handle breaking with an explanation! As a new wood Turner it is awesome to hear your explanation. Everyone has different ways of explaining things and that hit home! Thanks your amazing. Also super excited just signed up for your guild classes!!
OH MY. Beautiful. Oh nice ladle. Always wondered how you would turn such a thing.
a special thanks to Amy for stepping in and helping make this possible.
It's mesmerizing watching you work. You have definitely intrigued my interest in woodturning. Thanks!
Another great "LEARNING" experience and piece, Ashley! I truly hope your friend make a complete and quick recovery! Take care. Cheers!
It’s amazing quality and showing the breakage demonstrates the whole process - thanks!
Thanks for showing the failure, I have always found that I learn more from my failures that from success
Wood glitter looks very nice on you! 😉. Very good video!
Appreciate your candor and instructions on how to succeed with the project! Good to be honest about our mistakes and always learn from them! Stay safe.....

I love your work, I hope to get started next year into wood turning,
You can do it!
It was too scary but happily you didn't hurt yourself. Great job as always, congrats!
Gah, my heart dropped when that handle went flying! But I actually really appreciate you sharing this and the why of it. I will store that information for a time when I am brave enough to try this!😊
You are awesome! I’ve been turning for a few years now and learned a lot from your videos.
Merry Christmas Ashley and a great informative video
Happy holidays!
Just makes me want to watch Steve on HOW TO HUNT . Learning more about the Sabe.
Perfect timing for a ladle, soup 🍜 and winter seem to go hand in hand. It’s a good thing you are a professional, because from a neophyte’s perspective that looks incredibly dangerous 😳 great project as always!
What a great, honest video! Thanks for sharing, Ashley.
My favourite video so far.
A very interesting and helpful video. The fail was a small step toward a big success -- and well worth studying. Thanks!
Thank you for including mistakes too. and explaining what went wrong and why.
Oh thank you so much for showing that handle breaking, I recently broke a piece I had been working on for a few days, it feels good to know pros do it too sometimes ! Great work!
You are so welcome! Things like this happen, you just have to be prepared for it both mentally and to make sure you are safe when it does happen
Great video. Nice to see even the best have a bad day. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful work! Hats off to you, you are way braver than me!
This woman is captivating by her work, beauty and spirit, expressed in her pieces......
Another Woman MAKER! Yessssss!! SO happy to have found you! Was on the suggestion bar while watching another wood-turning video. You my friend, have a new forever fan. :-)
That's really neat ,absolutely a challenging project
You are a true artist!
Very nice used to make them all the time
Absolutely amazing
That was very informative and the second one turned out really nice. Thank you for sharing.
Charmante démonstration ! and woodturning at its best : the whole body follows along the gouge !
great lesson! I just may try this. Thanks
You have an Excellent eye for detail wow very nice work 😊
its always good when #2 works out well ;D nice work Ashley, love your work and energy! Hope your camera guy gets well fast! tell him to eat a few oranges!!
Oh my goodness! What a crazy, awesome video! I was just enjoying the show, admiring the MAD skills...then wondering, well how is she going to do the bowl...THEN IT WAS, CLEAR PROP TIME! Lol! Glad it all good, it did make for GREAT video! IMHO. But Ashley YOU DO have some incredible skills! Well Done! Thanks for sharing!
Crazy!!!! nice ladle
Thank you so much Ashley for showing and explaining the mistake. Amazing project! Happy Holidays!
That's no Ladle...that's my wife. Thank you, Henny Youngman. Great video thumbs up.
Beautiful crafts girls, full skill😊😊😊
Everithing is soo beautiful. Thank you.
Awesome project video. I definitely jumped when the first one blew apart. I tend not to use oak, ash, most walnut due to it being porous where as cherry is a diffuse porous.
Not only are you very talented, Ashley, you are also very beautiful.
Very nice. Glad you never got hurt. Merry Christmas. Love, God Bless and stay safe.
Very creative. Beautiful
Hi Ashely hope your video guy is doing well and getting better. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you and your family from mine here in New Zealand.
take care - Kevin
I like the carbon fibre handled gouge!
I don’t think I could ever free hand a sphere that well. Would be a great video to get some sphere turning tips maybe. Great video though Ashley. Enjoy the Holidays.
Sure Glad I am not the only one that has failures...LOL ....But what a great Job....beautiful work
Beautiful... Love it
That turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video. Can't wait to get me a lathe.
Great job. That spinning handle was intimidating. Not sure my lathe has that much clearance to try that. Glad you were not injured during the mishap. Thank you for explaining why it happened.
Thanks for the lessons shared with this one. Glad to hear Pat is back... I was thinking it had been a little too quiet in your workshop in recent days, ;-). Have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe!
Merry Christmas!!!
Ashley, that's a beautiful piece~! I was expecting you to be turning 2 pieces to make the ladle, but when you put the single piece in the jam chuck and spun it up, I thought OMG, this is an accident waiting to happen. Not questioning you as a pro turner, but I know that if that was me attempting this maneuver, I'd have wound up in the E.R. ;-) Thanks for the inadvertent safety lesson on grain direction. So happy that you were not in the path of that projectile~!! I'm sure the live oak piece would have been very nice, but the cherry one looked great~! Always love seeing you in action in your shop~!!
Merry Christmas to you too! Be safe and stay healthy.
