A carbide turner learns HSS might just be better for some things.

Let's make a bowl with only high speed steel tools! As a now former lover of carbide tools, I learned a valuable lesson about quality as well as smooth finishes. Enjoy this bowl made only using HSS tools, with a maple blank and finished with Yorkshire Grit.

Nice little bowl

Looking sharp! That music is intense for bowl turning, though lol 😆

Well, okay, except you are using your gouges more as scrapers than getting the sheer angle cuts that a gouge can do. That would save you a lot of sanding time. When turning the outside, cut from the base to the rim. Much less tear out that way. On the inside, rim to the base.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give those a try next time!

What was the valuable lesson? Did you nearly lose an eye?
