Mike Waldt I wanted to let some of the other HATERS have a chance......lol
Mike does it again. Another very informative and useful video. Thank you for taking the time to share. I have learned so much from videos like yours and other people like yourself who take the time to share your skill and knowledge.

Thank you Martin, I appreciate your kind words.

Mike
As a new turner, I appreciate the pep talk on practice and to not get discouraged if progress is not as fast with our learning as we'd like.
+Mike Porter
I'm glad you find some interest in my videos Mike, and thanks for your support my friend.
Take care
Mike
This past weekend I was getting very frustrated with catches as I tried a simple bowl. I sat down and watched your video, Brendan Stemp, Raffan's, and went back to the lathe...then it clicked. Made 6 little bowls in 2 days!
+Mike Porter
That's good news Mike, there's no finer feeling when you get that "click", mind you I quite often forget that I heard it ;)
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike, coves with the spindle gouge have always been my nemesis. Sometimes I can make what seems perfect cuts. Then Boom, oh well. Thanks for your brilliant explanation I believe it will help me immensely.Great video.
Thanks Stephen, I really pleased you found some use from the video.
Take care
Mike
Your explained in such good detail thanks for sharing your videos, where would we all be without you mike thanks again alisha xx
Thank you Alisha, you are too kind :)

Well done, Mike. Very easy to follow and well explained. Your beginners series is one I have recommended to others as they begin their woodturning journeys.
Thanks John, for the kind words, and recommendations.
Take care
Mike
Mike, wow did I need this video. Couldn't have been presented better. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us. I've seen that even some of the seasoned turners appreciate what you're doing, so thumbs up to you.
Happy turning, Fred
Thanks Fred I appreciate it my friend.
Take care
Mike
Mike, Thank you so much! Your instruction and demonstrations are most helpful. I haven't turned on my lathe in weeks now, and know it will be like starting over again. Your video has inspired me to get off my bottom and get practicing! David
I'm very happy that you found the video "inspiring" David. I have to give myself a "kick start" on occasions ;)
Cheers
Mike
Mike, I can't thank you enough for the great complements and for promoting my channel! I'm truly blown away!! Sincerely, thank you very much. ...Another great video in your "Beginners Guide" Mike. And you nailed it with your comments about what our expectations should be as weekend turners. Absolutely spot on.
Take Care, Kevin
Hi Kevin, an absolute pleasure my friend, and thanks for the positive comments as well. I look forward to many more of your videos, and learning from them.
Take care
Mike
I really like videos like this that explain tool choice and positioning, it is so much more useful than videos in fast forward. I do appreciate it takes longer to shoot and edit and thank you for your efforts.
Thanks David, that was my goal for the Beginners Series, and thank you also for your support.
Cheers
Mike
Mike, thank you for making and posting this video. You have in a very concise way, shown me why I am getting catches and skidding when doing dome operations. I've watched other videos on the topic, but none were as clear as this. Will be practicing tonight. Keep up the great work!
Glad you found it of use Jim. and thank you for the encouragement, and support.
Take care
Mike
I just watched Beginners Guide # 2 and # 6. I found them to be very helpful and very well produced. As always your videos are well explained and the camera angles you use are spot on. Thanks for sharing. Frank
Hi Frank, I am very happy that you found them useful to some degree. Thanks for your support and encouragement.
Take care
Mike
Once again another great well explained video Mike.
I just recently got a Sorby 3/8" so this video is great. I'll just grab a piece that I can mess up to test and see what I am doing right or wrong. Thanks for such informative videos!
My first thought, a beginners guide showing a finial like this? Wow, I must have missed something. After watching the whole Video, I begin to understand. First of all, we need a lot of practice, even someone like you has to warm up before starting the race. I don't know, but you described the main principle of all woodturning tools as 'rub the bevel' I don't know why, whenever I approach a tool to a spinning piece of wood, the movie 'The Commitments' comes to my mind and I literally hear the chorus of 'Mustang Sally' with one different word. I hear 'ride bevel ride'. The 'virtual music calms me down, which is also an important aspect, but it reminds me to keep the bevel in contact with the wood. (Well, I am too young for Mack Rice or Wilson Pickett).
Thank you for your shout out to my channel, although I don't know at the moment whether it's a blessing or a curse to be recommended by you next to Robbie and Kevin. Time will tell, and I think now it's time for me to find some self confidence.
Greetings from Good Old Germany
Peter
You have a lot of skills Peter, and you are a true artisan, and have a lot of gifts to be confident about my friend.
Take care
Mike
Another informative video Mike, always enjoy your videos and Thank You for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill.
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it my friend.
Take care
Mike
Just got my first lathe today. Had to call a friend to help me put it on the bench....I'm a woman and couldn't get the heavy thing above my waist. Oh well, enough about me. I am SO enjoying your videos! You really are the BEST at instruction.
Glad to hear you got the lathe sorted, without doing yourself a mischief :)
Thank you for your kind words too Leslie.
Take care
Mike
I have watched several videos on how to use tools but this one just made me THINK about how I am using them. Thanks a ton! Well alot of kilograms,lol!
I just got why. You filmed from the side facing you instead of the side from behind you. It shows techniques from a better angle IMO. Thanks again, I will be watching this video many many times.
Thanks James, I'm glad you found it useful. I tend to film overheads like this, as my big thinning head gets in the way otherwise....lol, and you can see things a little better, as you say.
take care
Mike
Hey Mike:
Nicely demonstrated!
I watched with much interest and learned a few things along the way!
Thanks for sharing
Larry
Thanks Larry, I appreciate your unwavering support mate :)

Thank you for the video. You are truly the You Tube spindle master. Great explanation.
Thanks Jim, I appreciate your kind words.
Take care
Mike
Lovely job as usual Mike.Practice and the mistakes that accompany it,are such an important aspect of developing any skill or craft.I think this video does a great job of explaining this.
Nice one mate !!-Chris
Thanks Chris I appreciate it mate, not long to go now ;)
Take care
Mike
Thank you for this Mike, I have only just started woodturning as a hobby. Carl Jacobson mentioned you so I thought I would have a look at your videos. They are great! Thank you for your words of wisdom and showing us your technique. I can't wait to start turning wood to the standard of your work. As I'm learning by myself it's slow progress but I'll get there one day! Thanks again!
Your very welcome Keiron, I'm glad that my videos are of some use to you. Check out as many as you can from all the other turners too, they all have much to offer. Enjoy your turning, and be safe.
Take care
Mike
Excellent Video Mike, it was an eye opener to a novice like myself, can't wait until my new jigs arrive, I can sharpen my gouges and get started turning. I can't wait to see the video on the bowl gouge.
Thank you Keil, enjoy your new jig, and turning my friend.
Take care
Mike
Being new to woodturning and frequently guilty of catching so interesting Mike knowing why it happens. Being winter I don't go in the shed much, but I take on board what you are teaching. Many thanks
Thanks for watching Paul.
Cheers
Mike
I have watched several of your woodturning videos now, Mike having recently thought about trying my hand. Your videos are inspiring, informative, clear, concise and genuine. As I live near Axminster I'm going to pop along for some advice and I'll probably take my cheque Book! Keep the videos coming, I've just subscribed
Hi marco, and thank you for your kind words. I hope you do take the plunge, as I really think you'll enjoy it. Beware though, as it can be very addictive ;)
This was good timing. Working on a baby rattle and a spinning top today and I keep getting catches with the spindle gouge. Great hints and instructions. Thanks, Ron
Thank you Ron, glad to be of service. Good luck on your two projects.
Take care
Mike
I've just watched this video again Mike as I've recently had a few bad experiences with the spindle gouge which is disappointing as I've been turning for about 3 years.However, when you made this original series I knew it would always be there for reference so I hope for a better day tomorrow.Many thanks,Alan
Alan Simpson It never ceases to amaze me how often I have a day where things don't go as they should, I still firmly believe it's because we don't turn every day, all day, and develop that "muscle memory" to the level of a full time turner. Quite often in my case it's the tool rest at slightly the wrong height as well, in relation to "that days" angle of approach :).
Thanks again for your support mate.
Take care
Mike
Bravo Mike. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you very much 🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Renegade
Cheers
Miker
Thanks Mike ....great video for the newbie, please keep them coming .

Cheers , Steve
That was fabulous Mike. Extremely well explained and demonstrated! Thanks very much :)
Thanks Ian, that's kind of you my friend.
Take care
Mike
Great explanation Mike, I find it verry true that some days when being off the lathe it feels as if you are back to square one ;)
Thanks Daniel, maybe I should tell my wife that it is imperative that I get into the shop EVERY day....lol.
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike. Enjoyed and learned some thing. Thanks. Bob
Thanks Bob, your always there my friend, and I appreciate it.
Take care
Mike
The point about practice is a really, really good one - in any skilled hobby that requires muscle memory, there's simply no replacement for giving those muscles a reminder!
I think another related point (as a relative beginner, compared with yourself and even moreso I'm sure to the professional/production turners) is to be aware that not everything you see online is going to be exactly what the turner envisaged perfectly - the finished piece might look mightily impressive, but sometimes we have to "go with the wood" as it were and work with the hand we're dealt (and that our lesser days deal to us!).
As with the general social-media effect where we look at Facebook (for example) and see the highlights of everyone's day and see only their very best moments, we have to remember that they'd be just as impressed by our best moments (or finished products) regardless of whether we're happy with how we got there!
I totally agree with your thoughts, and thank you for sharing them.
Also thanks for watching.
Cheers
Mike
Wise words Mike, much appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks Gareth.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike, that was very helpful. I was very interested in the grind you have on those two spindle gouges. Very much like the Ellsworth\English grind on my bowl gouge. My current spindle gouge is very rounded and I find it very difficult to get it to do what I want (or much of anything for that matter). I think a little re-grind is in order. That grind makes much more sense to me. Thanks again
Glad to be of service Richard, I have found that the grind I now use makes for more versatility. It took a lot of experimenting in the beginning, but now I think this configuration is a keeper :)
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike great video with great catch and it helped me see what happens when I get a catch. Very good camera angle to show the tool and work piece in contrast on the white background and very nice finial I am sure you will save and utilize for some other project.
Thank you Erik, I have that many "broken" finials and "practice" pieces, that I could heat my house for a year with them ;)
Take care
Mike
Very good Mike. I found myself staring at your beautiful grinds and felt quite jealous of them.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thank you Brendan, nothing like a beautiful grind....as they say!
Take care mate
Mike
Excellent tutorial Mike. You have a great ability to explain the thing you are doing or trying to do and it was awesome that you explained the catches and not edit them out. I'm hoping to try one of the stave goblets in the near future myself if I can get back out in the shop. Wonder how many I'll scrap lol. As always loved the vid and keep up the great work!
Thank you Scott, your encouraging words are much appreciated. Let me know how you get on with the staved Goblet. A bit of advice if I may, do several test glue ups with scraps, and "trial" turn them, it gives you an idea of how to go about it. Before you try one for real :)
Take care
Mike
Excellent Mike, great explanations!!
Thank you your comments are much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike. This was very helpful.

Thanks Mike, great learning
Glad you found it useful William.
Exactly right there Mike with getting out of touch mate,we have relocated 600k's up the New South Wales coast and with everything that goes with moving and setting up a new shed it was about 2 months before i got back to the lathe and had a couple of Damn Buggar moments myself...very well explained mate...
cheers Mick!!!
Thanks Mick, it's frightening how quick you can lose your touch mate. Mind you, I'm quite lucky really, I didn't have much of a touch to begin with ;)
Hope all went well with the move,
take care
Mike
Great instructional video, thank you Mike!!
Thanks Daniel.
Cheers

Another great tutorial Mike
Thanks Chas

As usual a very informative video Mike. Nice one
Thank you Jonathan, I appreciate it.
Take care
Mike
I was in my workshop the other day. I have all manor of new tools at my disposal ( I’m lucky), and I wanted to turn a small finial. Bugger me I’d forgotten how. I’ve turned nothing but burrs and bowls for the last 6 months, my first attempt sent the little lignum pot hurling across my shop hitting my bandsaw and fianlly coming to rest at the feet of an onlooker. Who’d just popped in for a coffee. “Does that happen much”
“No not often” I lied
I had forgotten how to spindle turn. I dialled up your video. And was amazed when you had a similar error. And you hadnt edited it out. Good for you. I’m twice as wise now.. Thanks
Mike Waldt cThe
Excellent video Mike! I also prefer to have my toolrest set so that the tool is right on center or just above, though varying sometimes depending on the tool.
Thanks Jordan, and I'm glad you agree.
Take care
Mike
Thanks for sharing Mike I'm enjoying the vids. Happy Christmas

Bummer that it broke at the end but thanks for that, I have been having a hard time with my tool skipping just like yours did, now I know why :)
All was not lost Charles ;), glad that you found the video of some use.
Take care
Mike
i like your videos i have learned alot from them i have just started turning please keep makeing them thanks matt
Thanks Matt, I'll do my best my friend.
Take care
Mike
As always, a very good instructional video, and even though it's a practice piece, it's much more precise and good looking then I could manage at this point :)
Another point I think that should have been mentioned in this specific video is the importance of the tool rest height relative to the work piece size and position and the tool height, or thickness, how many times I got a catch or simply sheared a piece off just because I was too lazy to bring my tool rest to the right height and my wood was spindled away or broken off a massive catch (countless times of course)...
Thank you Yuval, a very valid point regarding the tool rest, I admit I forgot.......I will include it in my next video. thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I have added a note to this video. Thanks again :)
Take care
Mike
Very good explanation. Helps me to review.

"make sure your tool is as sharp and you can get it." Lovely
LOL....glad you like that....and agree Jimi ;)
Take care

As a complete novice, I'm finding your beginners' series invaluable. This particular video is one out of the box. Thank you, Mike.
Thanks Keith, I'm glad you find them useful, your encouraging comments are much appreciated.
Take care
Mike
I had to laugh when you said you can see the "point" I'm making! Yes it looks very sharp!
LMAO Andrew, nice one mate :)
Cheers
Mike
This is gonna help me heaps!
I'm very happy about that :)
Take care
Mike
Great advice Mike and well filmed. I know what you mean about time away from the lathe. Everything seems heavy and awkward until you have practised a few times. Practise is key as you say.
Take care
David
Thanks David, I was astounded how rusty I was after just 1 month.
Thanks for the encouragement mate.
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike,
very instructive video.
But you could see that one very much practice must to do something delicate.
Greetings from Germany
Thanks Gunter, and you are so very right :)

thanks for the video, I get the tool skidding across like that quite regularly so will try your technique
Hope the video helps Dexter

WELL DONE MIKE VERY HELPFUL VIDEO
Thanks Michael.
Take care
Mike
Mike, you have the most amazing talent of communication. I just started turning
and you show your "mistakes", and you applaud errors as the basic steps to
experience. I watch a lot of videos. You are my favorite. How would you like a nice Arkansas Razorback sweatshirt ? You'll probably be the only guy in the UK with such an item. :) What size and what's the address ??
Thanks Ed, I really appreciate your very kind words.
I have PM'd you ....can't wait my friend.
Thanks again
Take care
Mike
I should watch this every time i work on the lathe. how's and why's are great.
Thanks for the supportive comment.
Take care
Mike
well explained mike and so true about us benign weekend turners
thanks once more for the shout out about my channel
keep up the greate work
all the best Robbie
Thanks Robbie, always great to watch you create mate.
Take care
Mike
I wish my practice pieces looked that good!
Lol ... thanks Billy
Cheers
Mike
Well done Mike, another video that is well worth watching. I was also admiring the wood you used for that finial, - any idea what it is? Lovely grain.
Thank you kevin ... the wood was Olive Ash :)
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Hey Mikey! Great presentation. I enjoyed watching and picked up a few pointers. Well done! I wish you would have touched on your finishing process. Why do you keep it a damn secret? Hope all is well over there with you and yours. Thanks mate
Hi Tom, and thank you. The finishing is shrouded in mystery, as you well know my friend. I cannot divulge it, even to you. Got any walnut for the fire yet!!???
All is fine here thanks, your Skype seems broken ;)
Take care
Mike
Excellent video as I am trying to learn and I find your videos great. I did very basic turning when I was a kid in school and was only allowed to use a scaper. I am still learning the basics so do you have any suggestions that may help?
Thanks Wayne, there are so many different ways of doing things in this great craft, my main suggestion would be to experiment lots, to find out what works best for you. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP. Take care, and above all, enjoy your turning.
Mike
Thank you Mike. And what was the wood you were "practicing" on, it had some interesting figure.
Thank YOU for watching, and commenting - the wood is Ash, part of two 28" x 18" rounds from a limb of a very old fallen tree, that I was given. I also have some beautifully figured 15" bowls rough turned and drying from the same rounds, just hoping they don't crack on me :)
Take care
Mike
Haven't even watched your video yet and ive already subscribed to kevin and pete!
Awesome!!
You won't be disappointed.
Thanks and take care
Mike
Can you explain how the expansion jaws work. I have a Nova 4 jaw chuck. Can I simply use those in reverse? Also about sanding sealer, I have shellac based which takes a bout 15 min to dry, why do you use the other type? Many Thanks Mike
Hi Michael, it depends on the jaw profile, the manufacturer will have details on each set if jaws' capabilities. The reason I use thinned Cellulose Sanding Sealer uis that it penetrates well, and is quick to dry. Cheers. Mike
Hello Mike,
Thank you for a very instructional video which should help experienced turners as well as novices.
Best wishes,
Alan.
P.S. I've counselled you on several recent occasions about keeping a tidy workshop. It's apparent you haven't quite grasped what I imparted to you. For example that tube of Titebond glue is not at the correct angle.
You really will have to apply yourself a bit more.
Thanks Alan, I'm pleased that you think so.
As for the other matter, I am unfortunately a slow learner, and apologise for not being able, at this juncture, to meet your very high standards of cleanliness ;).
I will however strive to attain a standard acceptable to you.
Take care
Mike
PS - I have emailed Titebond, and requested that they print their label horizontally in future, I will inform you of the outcome in due course.
Hey Mike, what lathe do you use? what would you recommend?
Hi Braden, mine is the Axminster AT1628VS, and I would recommend it, as I have had it for four years, and have no complaints.
Cheers
Mike
Now that I can understand...thank you. Two quick questions, how do I know if I have a spindle gauge or something else? What makes a spindle gauge a spindle gauge?
Thanks,
In general, and there are exceptions, the bowl gouge has a deeper and longer flute, a longer shank, and a longer handle.
hope this helps
Take care
Mike
What was the wood you were using ...I have a lot of trouble on mine never get the right profile some how what is the best wood in general .... Enjoyed the show immensly
Hi John, I was using Ash in this video. I think everyone has there favourite woods, I honestly have never turned a species that I have disliked, or would not turn again, but then there are many woods I have not turned. The one wood I find the most enjoyment from is Yew, as it cuts like butter, and takes a finish well. it is also full of surprises regarding its figure.
If you keep your tools sharp, most wood is a joy to turn, light cuts is the order of the day, in my humble opinion.
Take care
Mike
i only been wood turning for about a week and im making a cylinder case for coins. was using a circlier disk shaver to try to hollow it out. the tool turned in my hand and split my finger. how can i keep this from happening agian?
When hollowing a cylinder use a forstner bit in a jacobs chuck and keep the lathe speed down, this depends on the size of bit you're using.
Mike,
In your opinion, what's the better wood for practice, hardwood?
I normally use any scrap wood I have got to practice, if you use soft wood it will improve your tool control if you can achieve a good finish off the tool.
Cheers
Mike
Morning Mike
Where do you by your tools? I'm Just starting out turning I went to Axminster tools in Cardiff and its mind boggling, being watching your videos for a while now and I find them very educational. I like your Spindle Gouge with the swept back wings can you get the Henry Taylor sets there. Thank you
+Peter Harris
Hi Peter, there are a lot of options to be sure, the best way to go in my opinion is get a starter set, as you will have a selection of tools that will cope with most of your projects, then as you gain experience, you can add as you need. most tools come with a standard "straight across" grind, and you need to alter the profile yourself, although you can buy them already ground with swept back wings, but I think they are more expensive.
Hope this helps
Take care
Mike
+Mike Waldt
Morning Mike
Thank you that's great. I hope you don't mind if on occasions I pick your brains.
Keep up your brilliant informative videos. Many Thanks Peter
+Peter Harris
Any time Peter, any time at all :)
Take care
Mike
another great video mike,
Can you answer me a question,i recently purchased a set of faithfull tools from axminster and it comes with a 3/8 spindle gouge,Can i use it hollow out I,E bowls,goblets?ime getting loads of catches when i try to do so
many thanks andy.
Andrew Jolley Thank you Andrew, I was unaware that Axminster sold Faithful Tools, i can't find them on their site! However, you really need a bowl gouge for bowls, as there is more "meat" in them, the 3/8" spindle gouge is basically for finer work on spindles only, as it is not stable enough for bowl work.
Take care
Mike
Thanks for the reply and words of wisdom;-) they are on there,maybe under tool sets
Thanks again mike and happy turning
Andrew Jolley Pleasure Andrew, ah I have found them :). They look like a good set of tools, and the reviews are very positive too. I would still invest in a bowl gouge though, it is a very versatile and useful tool, not just for bowls.
Take care
Mike
What is your sanding sealer brand? What do you add with it?
Hi Curtis, I used to mix my own, but now I get Hampshire Sheen pre-Mixed sanding sealer and it works very well, and saves me mixing it myself :)
Cheers
Mike
Thanks, Mike...Have a great day from the US.
Still learning.

Do you have a video on sharpening the tools?
+Jeffrey Potter
Yes sir I have two -

Both are quite "old" videos, but still relevent.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks
I'm serious !!
So am I......lol
Once again thank you mate
Mike
Must say I have a finger nail gouge and I dislike it immensely, it's a catchy little ba$tar#.
I guess I need a lot more practice.
Cheers Mike
Rob
+Woodslee Summercraft
It can be catchy, but like the skew, it can be a very versatile tool.
Take care Rob
Mike
Will you talk to my gouges Mike they don"t seem to believe what I tell them .
LOL :)
Believe me Malcolm, mine very often seem to have a mind of their own!
