Great video Scott. 12:02 can you just turn the mold off or does it ruin it?

I have a question - sometimes I want to turn or sand in reverse. My Talon chucks have places for set screws to hold them in place and keep them from unscrewing in reverse. I’ve started adding Vicmark chucks for larger jaws and there are no threaded holes or other visible way to prevent them from unscrewing in reverse mode. What, if anything, keeps chucks threaded onto the lathe besides the set screw solution?

These are all great tips! I've had a couple of scary turns, and it definitely made me nervous getting back to the lathe. I started small and worked my way back.

Great video, Scott. When I focus on just one problem area with the lathe off, I sometimes will make the surface uneven in that spot. Any tips on avoiding this issue? Usually with green bowls I can get a great finish off the tool, but not always when turning dry pieces. Thanks in advance!
@alexanderdesigns814
@alexanderdesigns814 3 ай бұрын
I'd try to hit the spot first then slowly blend in that area with the lathe still off before sanding with it on again. Hopefully that will make the transition smooth enough to not notice 👌🏽

I tend to find that sanding green clogs the discs. You don't experience that?
@downsouthwoodturning
@downsouthwoodturning 3 ай бұрын
I turn wooden hats green to finish and I sand wet wood. The discs do clog but I use a brass or steel brush and use it to declog the sanding disc on the power sander. Just hold it to the spinning disc lightly as you turn the disc and it declogs it. It works well.
@alexanderdesigns814
@alexanderdesigns814 3 ай бұрын
I wait about a day after turning to start sanding. The surface is generally pretty dry by then. The heat created by sanding also helps dry the surface. Yes it does clog the paper a bit but it's not terrible (but that's all species dependent... every species is different).

This is one tool that i really struggle with. Do you use on green turned bowls too? All my bowls are green but i just get tear out and a terrible finish with scrapers. I sharpen on a sorby pro edge so the burr is fresh, my NR is a glen lucas french curve. Its great at shaping the inside curve but i always have to go over with a gouge. Frustrating!

Great vid. I don't get to cut wet wood often, and always love seeing those curls. When I got started I got a very similar 5/8" gouge with fingernail grind, along with a 5/8 "traditional"/"bottom of the bowl", and a 1/2" 40/40. The 60 deg is by far my most often used (and two years in it is very noticeably shorter). I see the uses for the other two, but I do far more work with the 60 deg fingernail. I'm looking forward to your next vid on shear scraping and agree that's another place this gouge really shines!

I’m about to make one of these. Do I need to true up the plywood edge on the lathe before mounting the two side pieces? I found center on my plywood circle but surely it isn’t dead on. Also: I’m assuming you can’t turn the outside all the way to the rim with this method. The last little bit would need to be done once the bowl is reversed and back in a chuck, correct?

I don't bother worrying about the edges. It's not something you'd want to grab while spinning either way 😂. I generally turn just shy of the rim of the bowl, then finish it up after flipping it around. Hopefully that answers your questions
