Thank you buddy, no worries, I'll announs it on all social media ☺️

Most of people miss the point with freehand sharpening.... Its not just sharpening,the feel you get from extremely light touch and feel on the grinder transfers to the lathe and wood. So many benefiths to freehand sharpening.... Ofcourse it takes practice,but everything takes practice so why don't invest time into something that will make a big different. Also for someone that wants to do this for a living like I am ,speed and efficientcy is half the work. Its pays of in the long run. There are other options like 40/40 on platform or Mike Mahoney sharpening on platform that are easier then I've shown and that helps as well. And I don't care that the grind needs to look perfect every time. I know what tool will do and what to expect...also changing angles on mere seconds or changing grinds itself is much faster then with jigs... Nothing wrong using a jig however with some practice you'll have more benefiths going freehand. Again,its only my humble personal opinion and I never told anyone that they need to do this , that is beauty of turning,we all turn in our different ways

99% of turners would benefit from learning to sharpen freehand without using expensive proprietary sharpening systems.

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Good thing about these conversations is, each person can have his option. After over 10,500 individual turnings, and having done it professionally for over 20 years, and having taught it during those years, I can tell you that I would never, ever, even suggest someone waste time doing this by hand. No way can anyone, ever, do as good a job, and do it as fast as I can with a jig. the fact someone wants to do it, is a completely different subject and conversation. I love wood turning though, and I'm just glad any one is out there doing it.

Its all for learning, not just viewers but for my learning as well ☺️

Nothing wrong using a bit but for me its not faster as with gouge is hollowed in just a few cuts. But if bit works for someone then its a good option

Thank you very much for kind words and glad to help out ☺️ Thank you for watching

Thank you

Well you learn a lot more from those.👍

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I 100% believe in cutting bowls and pots in half, I just use plain maple or pine for those. The nice figured stuff I try to keep and sell.

Thank you, I don't use hook tools but all the japanese turning culture use them for ages, so they are good but take a while to learn. My scraper is still on final product prototype stage but once its available I'll announs it ☺️

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you!

Hi Mark, I think your speed improve as I didn't change anything 😅. Thank you for kind words and glad to inspire

Richard is my mentor and I have learned from him

Yes,its Richard's design and profile. Works great

Thank you ☺️

Glad to hear that ☺️

I do sir, if you go back few videos you'll see announsing my first prototype signature scraper, and I go indepth on how I prepare edge

Thank you very much, I really appriciate your support 🤗

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Sharpening and shaping the bowl gouge was very helpful as well as your turning the hollow turned bowl Thank you

@@tommt4283 really glad to hear that ☺️ Thank you for watching

Thank you very much 🤗

Try it, you Will learn a lot of how the bowl feels in hands once you saw it in half. This pot felt perfect but it does need a bit more work on that thick section.

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning in my climate (monsoon climate), the thin parts of the bowl can deform. You have a very good one in the cut.

Awsome to hear that ☺️ thank you very much

Thank you,glad you liked it

Good point, by swinging the gouge left and right using platform is a bit more consistent however wings tend to be more straight, by pushing up the wheel you can create curve you want on wings.

Shhhh🤫 don't tell anyone else yet😂

Thank you, well you learn as much by cutting bowls in half as well as keeping them in one piece☺️

Thank you, I really appriciate that

Awsome, I haven't turn teak yet,I did make wall panels out of it when I learn my trade 😅, hopefully we will see the video?

Thank you ☺️

Thank you

Thank you for such a kind words, I really appriciate that ☺️

Thank you Will 😀

You don't know how to sharpen them. They blunt a little faster than the not cheap ones

@@_Egor_Egorov_ Don't know how to sharpen? Now how do you know that? Welcome to my workshop and let's find out. And that is exactly the problem, you have to sharpen them so often, much more often than the ones made out of better steel.

@@metodemersic I sharpen all the incisors before work. Chinese are 20% worse at sharpening. the angle of sharpening and the length of the wing depends on the profile of the groove

I do have a spear point scraper video, few weeks old.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5CsooWrjrOalacsi=hpj8NOLLRETqUDdd
