Oh my god, i must have watched 1000 woodturning videos in the last 2 years, from you, Richard Rafan and many others master like you, but this one is TOP 5 on the why and how to, really really appreciate your explanations and camera point of view. Thank for all your great videos
Tomislav, this video shows that you are in the select group of master teachers of bowl turning. You clearly explain the how and why. You show and demonstrate the importance of controlling the subtle movements in pitch, roll and yaw of the cutting tip of the gouge. Very nicely done!
Tom, this is one of the best turning video’s I’ve ever seen. Your explanations are clear, well delivered, and concise. You are clearly a master of your craft, and a gem for those of us who are striving to improve our skills. Thank you, and bravo, sir! 👏👏👏
I have been turning for about 5 years. I am self taught (as will become apparent in a minute). I have recently begun watching videos of people who truly know how to turn. I have turned and sold a decent number of bowls but I never knew how much more work I was doing than I needed to. I had bought a fairly decent bowl gouge but had no proper idea how to use it and I briefly attempted to use it in the same fashion as I would my spindle gouge. After a few tragic failures, I basically put it away and continued using my spindle gouge. I would never have attempted to use a bowl gouge in what I now know to be the proper manner. I saw a video recently where I watched a guy use a bowl gouge the right way and I was very blown away. Then I watched this spectacular video. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Aaaa thank you very much for kind words and support 🤗 I hope videos like this will help you out on your turning journey as when tools are used properly there is no better feeling.... Once again thank you very much 🤗
Superb camera work and lighting! The clear unobstructed close-up video demonstration, along with your straight forward explanation, really increased my understanding gouge control.
I very much appreciate the thoroughness of this video. Great video for understanding the common problem of entry cuts. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Brilliant clip Tomislav, I attended a 5 day wood turning hands on course and your mentor Richard Raffan was the main attraction, brilliant course and I learnt so much in those 5 Sharon days.
Absolutely fantastic, Tomislav. I have watched you for many hours.I watch you to learn how you are making your entry cuts. I would like to see you and all turners apply contrasting bright, contrasting colors so us viewers can easily see how you are positioning the flute during your entry cuts. I think the starting cuts start everything.
I have been teaching myself how to turn for the last two years with limited success. I have watched many UA-cam videos but after watching a couple of yours I have learned more than in the last two years. Thank you ! I am now one of your many loyal followers and look forward to all your new videos. You are undoubtedly the most skilled turner I have seen so far and you explain how you do it so well.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I know I'll keep going back to watch it again and again as I practice. Thank you for clear explanation throughout the tutorial.
I am just a beginner and have learned more with every video that I have watched you explain in great detail on every thing you are trying to teach your videos should be mandatory watching for every beginner Thank You
Just like to say thanks for this video, it is the best tutorial on how to position the chisel correctly, nice and slow demonstration, I was having trouble with catches, now I will try again.
Great vidio I'm new to turning. I. Bin watching alot of guys but you explained that the best thanks so much for teaching people like me. I've bin into wood working for at least 40 years always wanted to learn to make bowls
I can see why Richard Rafan mentored you your attitude like his is extremely professional,you are critical of your own work enough to always improve and I have to thank you both for sharing 2 lifetime’s of experience.
Absolutely have to agree with previous commenters. It's so nice to see such a clear explanation that connects what's happening to why. I have no doubt this will improve my turning by a huge amount.
Hi, thank you for this video. probably the best explanation of bowl gouges i have watched. you are a true master and teacher and now i finally understand how to use gouges. thank you again and keep up the good work 👍👍
Have just happened on your site today and am so glad I did. After watching this one I watched how you ground the asymetric grind on your bowl guage. I have been trying to improve my reasonably short turning experience and must say your tutorials are an absolute boon and most certainly up there with the very best. I salute you sir on being a brilliant tutor and thank you for presenting the tutorials, in this one alone I have learned so much! I can only concur with David Sadler. Kind regards, Tony (UK).👍👌
Thank you Tony very much for very kind words and I hope to make soon more videos on common issues for turners.... Glad you liked my videos and work. Thank you for watching Greetings from rainy Zagreb ☺️
With these great videos you have the makings of a great woodturning book (to follow further in your mentor’s footsteps) although with UA-cam I’m not sure any of us actually read instructional books anymore. 🤓
Great tutorial, especially showing the angle of cuts on the bottom and end grain tearing. It really helps remove the mystery of the bottom cut. I have only been turning for a couple of years and have found, as you pointed out, there is no magic universal grind. I have watched most of the master turners and see that we all usually use more than one tool. It always comes down to the kind of wood, how it cuts and the shape we want. I love watching you and Richard work and can clearly see the advantages of the asymmetrical grind. Thanks again
Thank you, Tomislav, for this truly outstanding, instructional video! I'm just beginning and have only turned a couple of bowls and your video really helped me to more clearly understand how to make good cuts with the bowl gouges. Your patient explanations along with the great camera angles are excellent. It was very helpful that you repeated how to make the cuts correctly several times and also demonstrated what happens when the angles are not correct. I'll be watching many more of your videos for sure. Many thanks! 👏
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Your lesson here is so informative and helpful. So many UA-camrs just assume every person watching is also a "Grand Master" and plows ahead throwing up streamers of shavings (sometimes in slow motion. YAWN) without explaining what they are actually doing. Love watching you hints, tips and lessons, please keep them coming.
Thank you so much for this clip. This one alone explains so much more about turning bowls than entire libraries from other guys. This one helped me so much to understand the entry and the bottom inner endgrain. Excellent work my friend, again thankyou.
Thank you, that was very informative and helpful. I hope to eliminate so much “skating” now! The explanation of the difference in bowl shape and use very helpful. Great videos, really appreciate your knowledge and instruction. Stay safe.
I can only echo other comments about this training session. so much attention to detail, adjusting the camera angle, repeating and showing so clearly how the gouge is positioned and how the cut should be made (I need to have things repeated). as for the thickness of the sides of the bowl! wow such skill. Ticked and subscribed. Great teacher - thanks.
You are an excellent instructor. I can't believe this video doesn't have at least a million views. I would love to see this same type video only using a dry hardwood blank. I've found that turning green elm is a whole different thing from turning dry oak.
Thank you. That was absolutely marvellous because you explained why a number of things, that I didn't fully understand, were happening. Best Wishes, Brendan.
🕶thanks for the excellent video Tomislav. I would appreciate a tutorial on your roughing pull cut. The angle from work piece,handle angle and flute angle. You perform that task so efficiently that it’s hard to analyze. Thanks. You and Richard are my favorite UA-cam turners
Thanks for providing the very helpful info and answering my questions around hand positioning on the handle. This makes perfect sense (now) and will help me prevent skate-back. I was closing my flute but not leveling the gouge during entry and still getting the skate-back. Love these ‘advanced’ videos as so much of what’s on UA-cam is the same basics repeated every over and over.
Perfect timing on this for as I am now at the point of trying some different grinds on my tools. Currently testing the 40-40 which I liked for the inside on a bowl but not as much for the outside. I bought a specific bottom cut gouge but actually like better an old spindle gouge that I ground for doing bottom cuts. I am using scrapers there too. So far that perfect finish cut that doesn’t require some cleaning up is a bit elusive for me. And 1mm thickness- impressive. So now you did it to me again. I’m off to go practice.
😂 aaa sorry about that😀. But you are doing great job by questioning different methods and I like that you take time to experiment....just take your time, with practice and repetetive work result and AHA moment will come really fast.... Thank you very much for watching and support what I do ☺️
I have different sized tools but they all have the same grind. I see now that I have some work to do, re-shaping a few of them. Thank you for this video.
I'm sure glad I found your channel !!! Your explanations are clear and understandable and very much appreciated. Thank you very much for sharing . We all make mistakes but understanding WHY makes all the difference in the world.
Tamislav, You nailed it! Congratulations on producing such fine work. Thank you for this and all your videos. I’ve been turning just over a year. I switched to the asymmetric grind (from the 40/40 grind) several months ago thanks to Mr Raffan and you. It suits me. But I have felt I didn’t have it quite right yet. This video, especially at the clip beginning 27 minutes in, is where it finally clicked. The close-up and your explanation did the trick.
Great explanations! A view that may help some of us is to lower the camera and view from the end of the tool rest; tool position seems to be VERY important. This view will help us see the tool and handle position.
This was super useful Tomislav. Appreciate the detail you provided and the time you took to clearly present the entry approaches. You also reinforced one of the things I learned when I was starting out -- if one has the angles right and the bevel riding the work properly, it doesn't matter how fast you move through the work, the tool will remain stable. I made the mistake early on when I was getting skate back and other problems in thinking I just needed to move the tool faster to get through where the tool was skating back. It took a while to realize that it was the approach and keeping the bevel on the work that were critical and speed was then irrelevant.
Thank you very much 😉 Richard has 53 years of expirience that I don't, I still learn from him and trying to get more effective,efficient and better... Thank you very much for kind words 🤗
Looks like it's time for more power :) Vicmarc VM300, Robust American Beauty, Oneway2436 or Stratos XL! This was a nice presentation and much more accurate than a lot of youtubers. The answers to why turners do things the way they do is important to know. Raffan and his use of spindle gouges comes to mind. The why is because they can do the job and are cheaper to purchase. I admit I don't use them for bowls but I know why!
You definitely managed to capture some excellent detail with your camera shots! I would say that this video will help many people so long as they watch. Nice job!
Thank you Tomislav, for an excellent tutorial. It may have been me that asked for ( suggested), this information, as I recommend new turners watch your videos to learn techniques. I use the clock method to teach the flute angle ( open/ closed). Much appreciated.
I have woodturning as a hobby, but I try to see as much content as possible to improve. Your video is simply fantastic and in a simple and objective way. You could record one demonstrating the position of the tool handle and the angle in relation to the part. congratulations on the work Edelcio - state of Goiás - Brazil
Tomislav, this was very informative. I have all my bowl gouges ground to a 60 degree angle (you tube recommendation from somebody at some time). You make me now want to experiment with different grinds, especially the asymmetric grind. I was surprised to hear that you have your bowl gouges at 40 - 45 degrees. I use that on spindle gouges. Maybe this is why I tend to struggle on the inside of bowls and it feels like it takes a long time. You seem to slice through the bowls like warm butter. You're now one of my favorite turners on You Tube. THANK YOU!
Thank you,glad to hear that sir.... I have 45 deegres ish bevel as it gives me cleaner cut on top 2/3 of the bowl and the rest I do with scrapers..... Never stop experiment, even if you find it a fail it ends up being succesfull.... That is how I remember to start again getting a burr on scrapers with SCREWDRIVER 😅 Once again thank you
Nice video, Tomislav! Much appreciated 👍🏻 What I'm most impressed by is the way you cut down at the top of the bowl while it's already very thin and nevertheless you get ZERO chatter marks 😮 Today I made a thinner (but still not very thin, maybe 3 mm at the top) bowl and got chatter marks all over the place. After trying supporting the outside with my fingers with a freshly sharpened gouge as well as a small scraper, I just gave up and sanded (and sanded and sanded...) until I had a good surface 😅 These are the times turning doesn't bring all that much joy 😅😂
Thank you very much 😀, I know sometimes these stuff happens and I get chatter on some bowls..... sometimes supporting cut just doesn't work but using a bit heavier tool helps a lot aa well ... And you try to be neutral and not putting pressure on the sides of the bowl Hope that helpes and don't give up beacuse practice and repetetive work will get you results soon
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks for your answer 🤗 Switching to a heavier tool is something I didn't try, so the next time it happens I can add that to my list of things to try 😅 But yeah, you have tons of hours on the lathe more than me and it shows 😅 Btw, one thing I wondered recently: where do you get all your wood from? As a professional turner you obviously have way higher demand than "a friend gave me a log from a tree he cut down in his garden" 😅 Greetings, Dave 🤗
Congratulations Tom for this great video really very well explained; personally I normally use the Ellsworth (long winged) gouge but after having seen your demo, I'm ready to grind an asymmetric gouge for a try. Thank you for your great work .👍👍
Great video as usual.. I have several Carter & Sons tools.. The RollsRoyce of turning tools in my opinion, including the wodbeater and they are amazing. With my 3HP Robust AB lathe Carter & Sons tools makes short work of just about anything. I also love the heavy handles which add heft and dampen vibration. Fabulous company to deal with as well that provide a really personal service. I have no affiliation with them, just love what they do.
Indeed. The dreaded skipback. It always happens on those "masterpiece" items, near the completion. Oops! Design modification in progress. 😂 "Masterpiece" becomes run-of-the-mill. Oh well... disappointing, but life goes on. Thanks for the tips and for sharing!
This is a lot. I just started and have been using carbides but want to use bowl gouges. There's just so much that goes into it. You make it look so easy. It takes me forever to turn a bowl, I can only get like 1/8" at a time, on a good pass.
Oh my god, i must have watched 1000 woodturning videos in the last 2 years, from you, Richard Rafan and many others master like you, but this one is TOP 5 on the why and how to, really really appreciate your explanations and camera point of view. Thank for all your great videos

Wow, nice haul. Looking forward to seeing you reshape and put all these tools to work.
This is one of the best instructive videos I’ve watched. Thank you!
Thanks,I really appriciate that
You explain things very well and your videos are amazing and an inspiration to woodturners at any level.
Thank you very much for kind words 🤗, so glad to hear that
ToIslam will surpass his mentor! Thank you for great videos. I learn more with your style of teaching. Thank you!
Thank you very much 😉 Richard has 53 years of expirience that I don't, I still learn from him and trying to get more effective,efficient and better...
Thank you very much for kind words 🤗
You are my new favorite turning UA-camr. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much 😀
Most inspiring! I'm still wuite eell down the learning curve. I love jow thin it is.
Thank you
Excellent instruction. Brilliant. Thank you so much
Looks like it's time for more power :) Vicmarc VM300, Robust American Beauty, Oneway2436 or Stratos XL! This was a nice presentation and much more accurate than a lot of youtubers. The answers to why turners do things the way they do is important to know. Raffan and his use of spindle gouges comes to mind. The why is because they can do the job and are cheaper to purchase. I admit I don't use them for bowls but I know why!
Indeed , bigger lathe is at the list, but still not in budget for one of the above☺️ thank you for watching
First time watcher, wow so impressed by your chisel craft, thanks for sharing your craft with us, a great help and once again thank you.
No worries, thank you for kind words and watching 😀
You definitely managed to capture some excellent detail with your camera shots! I would say that this video will help many people so long as they watch.
Nice job!
Thank you very much 🤗
Thank you Tomislav, for an excellent tutorial. It may have been me that asked for ( suggested), this information, as I recommend new turners watch your videos to learn techniques. I use the clock method to teach the flute angle ( open/ closed). Much appreciated.
I believe it was you sir, once again sorry for forgeting the name..... Thank you so much for Being reccomended to your student... I'm honored ☺️
Just started with my bowl gouge. you do a great job of showing how to get started.
Glad I could help out ☺️
Brother you are a very good teacher.
Fantastic demonstration- obviously you know what to do and explain very well!
Thank you sir
I have woodturning as a hobby, but I try to see as much content as possible to improve. Your video is simply fantastic and in a simple and objective way. You could record one demonstrating the position of the tool handle and the angle in relation to the part. congratulations on the work

I love your videos they are well discribed I can see what is exactly being done thank you .
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Tomislav, this was very informative. I have all my bowl gouges ground to a 60 degree angle (you tube recommendation from somebody at some time). You make me now want to experiment with different grinds, especially the asymmetric grind. I was surprised to hear that you have your bowl gouges at 40 - 45 degrees. I use that on spindle gouges. Maybe this is why I tend to struggle on the inside of bowls and it feels like it takes a long time. You seem to slice through the bowls like warm butter. You're now one of my favorite turners on You Tube. THANK YOU!
Thank you,glad to hear that sir....
I have 45 deegres ish bevel as it gives me cleaner cut on top 2/3 of the bowl and the rest I do with scrapers..... Never stop experiment, even if you find it a fail it ends up being succesfull....
That is how I remember to start again getting a burr on scrapers with SCREWDRIVER 😅
Once again thank you
Nice video, Tomislav! Much appreciated 👍🏻
What I'm most impressed by is the way you cut down at the top of the bowl while it's already very thin and nevertheless you get ZERO chatter marks 😮 Today I made a thinner (but still not very thin, maybe 3 mm at the top) bowl and got chatter marks all over the place. After trying supporting the outside with my fingers with a freshly sharpened gouge as well as a small scraper, I just gave up and sanded (and sanded and sanded...) until I had a good surface 😅 These are the times turning doesn't bring all that much joy 😅😂
Thank you very much 😀, I know sometimes these stuff happens and I get chatter on some bowls..... sometimes supporting cut just doesn't work but using a bit heavier tool helps a lot aa well ... And you try to be neutral and not putting pressure on the sides of the bowl
Hope that helpes and don't give up beacuse practice and repetetive work will get you results soon
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks for your answer 🤗 Switching to a heavier tool is something I didn't try, so the next time it happens I can add that to my list of things to try 😅 But yeah, you have tons of hours on the lathe more than me and it shows 😅
Btw, one thing I wondered recently: where do you get all your wood from? As a professional turner you obviously have way higher demand than "a friend gave me a log from a tree he cut down in his garden" 😅
Greetings, Dave 🤗
Excellent tutorial. The best I have seen.
Oooh thank you sir
This was great. Thank you. I just started turning and have only made a bunch of shavings and broken spindles and bowls😂
We all been there, busting bowls and spindles.... Keep practice and results will come really fast.... Thank you for watching 😀
Thanks for a very informative video. Would be interesting to see how the bowl looks after some time. 🙂
I'll do a video soon on how to turn thin bowl without light , just by feel, I'll try to show it in next video ☺️
Congratulations Tom for this great video really very well explained; personally I normally use the Ellsworth (long winged) gouge but after having seen your demo, I'm ready to grind an asymmetric gouge for a try. Thank you for your great work .👍👍
Go for it,and let me know how it works for you 🤗
Thank you
Great video as usual.. I have several Carter & Sons tools.. The RollsRoyce of turning tools in my opinion, including the wodbeater and they are amazing. With my 3HP Robust AB lathe Carter & Sons tools makes short work of just about anything. I also love the heavy handles which add heft and dampen vibration. Fabulous company to deal with as well that provide a really personal service. I have no affiliation with them, just love what they do.
Carter and Sons tools are great, ecpecially parabolic flute like Mahoney's signature tools, thank you very much for watching 🤗
Výborné video 👌 Sám taky používám výtečné nástroje Gurtool.
Indeed. The dreaded skipback. It always happens on those "masterpiece" items, near the completion. Oops! Design modification in progress. 😂 "Masterpiece" becomes run-of-the-mill. Oh well... disappointing, but life goes on.
Thanks for the tips and for sharing!
Very true sir 😀 thank you for watching
Maybe the most informative turning video I've seen!
Awsome, so glad to hear that ☺️
This is a lot. I just started and have been using carbides but want to use bowl gouges. There's just so much that goes into it. You make it look so easy. It takes me forever to turn a bowl, I can only get like 1/8" at a time, on a good pass.
Hi Jamie, I turn fast as I make living from it but you don't have to rush anything, just take your time and you'll master it, practice practice
Excellent explanation, thank you.
Thank you very much 😀
Great instructive video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You for watching
I have just signed on to your channel because I found this video very instructional. I am sure I will find more of your videos equally so. Thank you.
I hope you will find the usefull😄 thank you for watching
