# 180 The basic bowl with Carbide tools

I turn a very basic bowl using only a faceplate and center. For tools, I use the "Taste of Carbide" combo from my website. Big Guy Productions and Capt. Eddie Castelin are at it again. Contact Cap'n Eddie at [e-mail] or www.eddiecastelin.com

Just watched this video, WOW ! What detail you show & go into !! As someone who just bought a lathe & trying my best to learn but not turned a single thing, this was NEEDED !!! Great job of being my kind of mentor . Thanks Capn' !

[@peterheseltine7292]

Just want to say thanks Eddie from a UK 70 year old I like your videos and they help me a lot in my past time good explaining absolutely great and a big Thanks from Peter Heseltine

[@jimhall4393]

Thank you Eddie your very kind and instruct without chewing our newbies butts off. Your Aces.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Thank you Eddie!!! Another very informative video with some good old southern humor thrown in. Your videos are some of the most informative on KZbin for wood turning.

[@herbfogelberg6690]

Thank you Eddie. Thus far the most I have learned about the basic bowl turning is from you. I can see that I need to make myself a mess of face plates and glue blocks. Wood for practicing on is no problem. I have the wood from two 80' cottonwood trees that one of my customers gave me just for having them cut down. Be well my friend.

[@enyafanjt]

Finally a video of how to turn something without expensive tools, a bandsaw , etc.. I know I had to use carbide tipped tools until I could save for bowl gouges and other tools that I could not afford on my budget. This is the best video you have made so far and I thank you for it. New woodturners that don't yet have the money for a nice shop will thank you too. I will say that I have had better luck with a hot glue gun than CA glue but that is personal preference I guess.

[@teresas683]

I like the comedy with the tutorial😁👍🏻

[@smitm108]

Agree w/ James - a great video for the more novice/austere turners w/ basic tools, mini lathe & developing skills. Thanks Capt ....

[@krazypolak1820]

I love this show. Guy has some humor. I wish had uncle like him

[@GaryWRose]

more like some attitude

[@donzellgordon557]

Thanks Cap"n Eddie, I pray you are in good health and doing well!!!!!

[@Ronalcock1]

Wow what a beautiful change, I have watched loads of your video's and to be honest I was getting a little fed up with your yackedy yack and stopped them well before the end, this one was very refreshing to actually watch you turning some chips. I dot know when this video was made but if it was made before your illness please accept my appolagese.

[@williamryan1984]

Many thanks. Greetings from Ireland

[@TurnerinThailand]

This is very good information as I have limited access to tools and equipment here in Thailand. Thanks again for another outstanding video!

[@eddytaylor3697]

GREAT VIDEO CAP. THANK'S FOR ALL THE HELP.

[@ceedub6233]

Thank you for the video and the information. Currently I am making a set of lathe chisels. I am almost to the point of ordering the carbide cutters, so I can get to making shavings. I have been wanting to start making bowls, with out a chuck I have had a hard time wanting to use a face plate, and glue block. Now I see how it is done, so I will be turning soon. I hope your health has been improving. Blessings to you and your family.

[@markb8954]

Nice job at explaining the basics Sir. Thanks.

[@johnnyskinner7945]

I took quite a long time but i did it ive watched alot of your vidios and learned alot so keep them coming. from texas to where ever you are best wishes and turning Johnny

[@THESNAF2]

Another good instructive video Captn for us novice turners...cheers Mick!!!

[@fredbloggs6126]

Great show Eddie 👍

[@marceldore5494]

I really enjoyed your video, thank you. Will visit your website and check out all your cool tools. I just got a set of carbide tips, so eager to start! Thank you.

[@carl53301]

Very informative video Big Guy, I have learned more from you than all the rest of the woodturners I have subscribed to, keep up the good work.

[@RickMcQuay]

Thanks for making this video, many others tend to skip some of the basics. This answered quite a few questions including some I didn't know to ask.

[@petershevlan2513]

Excellent video both informative and entertaining.All the best.Shev

[@enyafanjt]

You can tilt the cutter to 45 degrees and take light cuts. Usually works for me. Sometimes I will soak in some thin ca glue and that helps as well.

[@fernrjf]

Thanks Eddie, Great video Eddie! I turn Fishing Plugs, but have seriously been think of trying my hand at turning bowls. regards, Robert

[@crnicholls]

Thank you sir! I wasn't sure that's what he said, but figured it would work anyway.

[@SuperBowser87]

So glad you did that. Great video!

[@johnnyskinner7945]

capt. eddie i just got back from picking up some wood from that store called beside the road in the ditch, got some good wood and also one of those covers you use it was used but still in good shape.

[@charlesbiddle5825]

[@larryjacobs5713]

Thanks Captain Eddie

[@timhalcomb4041]

Thanks for sharing got a lot of information out of that

[@enyafanjt]

1/3 shellac, 1/3 denatured alcohol and 1/3 boiled linseed oil. Just be sure to mark the bottle you use so when the alcohol evaporates you can add more to keep the shellac thinned to the proper consistency. He calls it OB shine Juice.

[@garoglen]

One of your best !

[@eddiecastelin8341]

CA is brittle. I use medium to attach solid items, thin for on-lathe finishes and the medium would work for stacking, but remember the cure time is short on prep, and longer for cure. I won't go into the shop without it.

[@diaaeldin3848]

Thank you for your information . and thanks for sharing sir

[@jofortinflow]

You are Fantastic .

[@crnicholls]

I use hot glue all the time Capt. It works great. You just have to make sure the glue is HOT when you apply it. If the glue gun doesn't do at least 380 degrees, then it wont get hot enough. I guess it's just a matter of preference.

[@mickdog2]

This is the video I've been looking for!

[@sethwarner2540]

A handsaaw would work as well...

[@stubryanfull]

I have a jet mini lathe. I guess ill give this a go. thanks - stu

[@randycosgrove3608]

Hi Cap'n Eddie. Hope you are feeling well. Just re-watching some of your older videos. Things I missed or didn't really understand the first time around now make much more sense and I pick up on some very useful details. Thanks for the info. What I picked up on today was the use of Deft wood sealer. I'm in Canada and Lowe's up here doesn't handle any Deft products. Do you know if the Deft product you were using is still available? If not, what would you suggest as a good wood sealer for bowls? Thanks for your help.

[@nickdispensa9762]

thank you

[@ajsv100]

Very Good

[@stclairstclair]

Im wearing headstones because it's late and i swear those birds where right behind me!

[@nickdispensa9762]

good job

[@MrHollick]

Wish i had a Time Machine too!

[@wiebercraft4974]

I’m always leery of using CA glue because of how brittle it is. Does it hold as good (strength, longevity) as titebond wood glue, or can sharp vibration break the bond? Also, would you use CA glue for something more permanent like gluing up blocks to make a decorative vase?

[@LuizAntonio-mg4xp]

Ótima tigela só faltou vc lixar para dar o acabamento mais está ótimo parabéns não entendo nada em ingles

[@36dumbdumb]

What If I ordered 5 centering tools???? $45.00????

[@buddysteele8220]

I use both carbide and HSS tools and it doesn't matter what kind of wood I use...I get circles. No particular place..on the bottom or on the sides both. Not always complete circles, some times only half circles. What am I doing wrong, and how do I get rid of them. Sanding only makes them more visable. I start with 80 Grit up o 600 grit. Thanks for any advice you can give. Buddy

[@carnakthemagnificent1424]

I was watching this captivating video and heard my name mentioned.. 5:45

[@capneddie]

Shine Juice is an old lapping polish for furniture, been used for years.

[@crnicholls]

Ok Capt. I have tried to view a piece of this video like 5 times and still can't understand what you said. It deals with putting CA under the cutter to keep it from moving Then when its time to remove the glue, you say to warm it up with something but I can't understand what you said. Myself I would probably warm it up with a cigarette lighter, but just wanted to understand what you said. Thanks

[@diaaeldin3848]

great job . I learned a lot from you .can i ask about type of this piece of wood ? thanks for sharing

[@spilperson]

Cap, that was exactly what I needed. Did you or do you do anything to avoid end grain tear out when using the carbide tools? I was turning a bowl out of walnut and was having a terrible time with it! Thanks Captain sir!

[@raztuss]

So, can you use a 2x4 for a glue block, or being kiln dried is it even advisable?

[@1doorjumper]

Have you worked with epoxy resin? How do carbide tools work on it?

[@jameshagajr.4765]

How do you use the squire cutter to shape the bowl without getting catches happens to me every time!

[@everetthooker4975]

good viedo

[@johnkosichek7932]

I've been watching your videos for a while and they are awesome, what I would like to know is the name of the glue you use between the glue block

[@chartle1]

+John Kosichek I know a little late but it was CA aka super glue crazy glue.

[@capneddie]

Can't do that on a standard jet motor. I bought the $99 change out from Ebay to a Variable speed. However, I gave up some power.

[@WoodartAve]

Please send me your fall catalog. 😁

[@mbell171]

Charles, he said to heat it with a cigarette lighter.

[@monicareitman9818]

Great video, thanks. Big question: how do you make your self-propelled sander? It looks like a great tool. Thanks again Jerry

[@lhoog72]

Have you modified your Jet motor to make it variable speed? If so, how?

[@richardarmstrong3214]

You have a catalog??? Wher'es mine???

[@capneddie]

Old stock mahogany

[@jeanie8648]

what the best brand name machine??

[@Sludgepump]

Cap'n Eddie, do I need to cut a groove to seat my square cutter in order to sop it rotating during use, or can I just flush mount it on the 1/2" sq. bar and screw it down firmly? I see others seating it carefully in a groove, but I don't know if that's necessary. Great vids!

[@capneddie]

Just put a drop of very thin CA on it.

[@maxsheen264]

I heard from a fellow woodturner that he buys carbide tips from you. Is that true and if so how much do you charge for various tips?

[@joeharney3802]

big guy productions web site has the cutters

[@joeharney3802]

thats his website
