Thank you very much! I like learning doing things by hand because I feel it's easier in the long run to train your mind for the skill. Most people just use jigs and as that probably works for a lot. I would prefer to know how to do it freehand as well.

Can you go into a bit more detail on burr creation, burr angle and drawing a new burr on an NRS.

NEVER BURN good wood

Nice beading technique, Sam. I turn a lot of Bradford Pear and have never had a ring shake. Growth rings are almost imperceptable because of the tight grain. Could that have been a bark inclusion from a crotch? BP is notorious for very deep bark inclusions at crotches.

Great video Sam really liked the added color. What kind of paint were you using, thanks Joe

I generally do not care for added color. I prefer the natural wood colors. But sometimes I see something interesting. I like what you did with this one. thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

perfect, thank you

Very nice, thanks for another great video.

The idea of using the threaded inserts is a great one. I think I’m going to give that a try for the 3/8 Thompson spindle gouge that should show up here today. I have some in stock that I used for some take apart hat display stands I made for my wife. I’ll go looking for the handle video now. Many thanks.

I have done a few similar but different chucks myself and my idea was to turn a cylinder with a tenon to mount it to a scroll chuck, hollowing it to project size and instead of holes etc I just cut a series of slits on the end with my bandsaw down parallel to the grain (spindle turning) out on the end down far enough to push the piece into place and then use a hose clamp to put the squeeze on the work. Works exceptionally. I keep the back end close to the chuck intact. One or more of the sections between the slits could be easily cut off to accommodate the handle. Super fast way to achieve the same result. Awesome informative video Sam as usual. One of my favorite channels along with Mike Tomislav and Richard! Hope this made sense. Take care Scott

I have several carter and son tools, great information on the hollowing system. Thanks

Very nice work!

I really like the sharpening jig. Nice tool set

Carter & Sons, best lathe tools on the planet and best customer service too! Thanks Sam for showcasing another outstanding tool from Carter & sons

Very interesting tool Sam. I don't do hollowing myself but you are good to watch and your explanations are very clear. you are good with doing videos in my opinion

I like your rubber tail stock trick

Sam, great sop action showing the cutter. This tool is not what I expected.

Excellent review Sam. Well narrated. Nice bit about creating a window in the work piece. This appears to be a very good hollowing tool. At $500 it seems a bit expensive to me. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Well done Sam. Like the cut away and view of the interior! The D-Way hollower is very similar and priced better in my opinion!

Sam, great review. I was just recently made aware of it and appreciate your input. I have resisted the “captured” type system for various reasons. Feel like those might be better suited for really deep hollowing. Would love your thought? Winter is gonna hit here in MT one of these days . Stay say Sam.

Amazing as always and again, very informative. Thanks Sam.

I recently bought the Robert Sorby brace and hooker tool that's very similar. Really nice to work with.

Thank you so much

It was nice having the hole to see the inside. Great video.

...cool little project...I like the "extras" you put into this...👍 I have only made two so far (newbie) and except for pen blanks, I've only used branches from tree trimmings or hurricanes...😨 As such, I don't "repair" holes or cracks...my second birdhouse has a split down the body and it gives it some character...however, using the large inclusion on this birdhouse was brilliant!...thanks...🥂 Matt

Interesting approach to a winged bowl. Another interesting 4 ways project. Yours is the second I've seen as I catch up on videos after being out of town; now off to watch the other two. Thanks again for you guys doing these.

Orange is a fine grain wood. Did you try threading?

Very nice little box. The holly accent really makes it pop. Thanks for sharing Sam! Take care, Dave

Thanks, great project. I’m in Columbus, right down the road from you. I use nearly all FOG wood but would like to stretch out to some kiln dried. You use some interesting woods. Do you have a local source? Thanks

Very nice, another great video.

Much appreciated this project. Very creative thank you Sam.

Can I glue without those great machines?

Very nice ornament! Great video Sam, thank you for sharing 🤠🇨🇱

Nice project Sam. I made a shellac brush like yours and the alcohol dissolved the glue and caused the bristles to fall out. What kind of brush do you use. Thanks

Nice ornament , looks like a lot of fun to turn .

Looks pretty good the burl in the masquet is realy cool

Where did you get your speed controller?

Great use of some scraps! Very nice! Take care, Dave

The ornament turned out great! Thank you for sharing.

Well done Sam. Excellent proportions. Excellent color. Excellent wood selection. I also think hollowing might be in order to lighten it up a bit. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Excellent video. Just curious, why didn't you hollow the ornament and/or roof? It seems to me it would be a bit heavy given the Mesquite burl house.

Thanks Sam. I just purchased a Sorby texturing tool, so you have provided some good ideas and possibilities.

Love the safer way of doing a winged box. Your idea or did you pick it up from someone else? Either way, I will be adopting it!!! And hope you glue the cutoffs together for an oval bowl with new foot.

That wing wall thickness is perfect, nice job

Great job Sam and I am taken by your approach of turning the job as a bowl. I have an aversion to square things rotating rapidly and your method solves this issue. I am now inspired to try a winged box. Thanks for that.

This box turned out great and has beautiful details.

The four of you turned Beautiful winged boxes. Interesting listening to the dialogs. Take care Dave

A very interesting method to get a winged bowl. A nice design and the figure on that Tamararind is striking. Thanks for another excellent video.

Really superb video! Love this design! Idea. Take the 2 wings you sliced off and glue them together making a clam shell looking thing then sand it up nicely to match all the edges up, then either put a flat piece over the hole and make it the bottom of a bud type vase with a hole drilled in the top, or make the hole that was made after gluing the top and then put a base on it maybe using a dowel to attach the base for an open topped skinny football shaped vase with base. I think it would look great. Anyway, loved this one Sam! Take care, Scott

Very good Sam. Quite well done. Nicely sized and proportioned. Your idea to turn a bowl then bandsaw the sides off is quite interesting. As you were describing the idea one came to me. Why just cut the sides. Maybe cut triangles out for three legs. Or maybe ever four. I think you may have started something with this idea.🙂🙂
