My name is Jim.. I'm nearly 86 and have just gotten serious about turning in the last 5 years. I find your videos immensely informative and have helped my turning a great deal. These how to use with tools are particularly useful but everything you have done I have found very interesting. Keep up the good work.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Jim,I really appriciate that

[@alanneel2749]

Excellent demo. I’ve been told that neg rate works really well on end grain in the bottom of a box.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, well it does but also standard scraper also works great.... negative rake is maybe little more frendly and less learning curve but in some situations you can not get straight wall as two bevels sometimes push the scraper away for desired line.... But both options are good and it comes down to personal preference 😉☺️

Tomislav this was a great video, Richard explained this to me many years ago and you have given an excellent demonstration using different tools, well done congratulations.🎉

Thanks for the video! Nicely done and well illustrated! I'm looking forward to the scraper videos, mostly on how to use them on the inside of a bowl. I feel like it's even more important to have a smooth finish on the inside as it's way easier to sand (and cut) the outside of a bowl.

Currently I don't posess a negative rake scraper and I've heard Richard say he also doesn't have one. For me that means I don't need one either. Still I have seen that I need many different scrapers of various shape. Working on that, you can make them yourself. 😎

Sure can , but maybe ones from let say sorby or henry taylor are a bit better.... And ready to go basicsly

Merci pour cette vidéo bien réalisée, très intéressante enrichissante et instructive : vous demandiez de vous dire si on apprécie ce genre de vidéo : ma réponse est mille fois oui ! Pour ma part, je serais très intéressé par des vidéos soit comparatives, soit où l'on fait un grand tour sur les différentes façons d'utiliser un ou des outils (ou les deux) et les résultats correspondants, les conseils et risques éventuels, l'incidence des tailles, l'utilisation qui en est faite par les "dits puristes".. et non puristes 😊 etc.. Il est toujours très intéressant de voir l'approche méthodique et comparative que vous proposez : cela fait "réviser les fondamentaux" et permet aussi parfois de mieux comprendre, voire de valider (ou de contrer) des habitudes que l'on a prises au fil du temps en se demandant -même si elles fonctionnent très bien pour soi- si on est dans une "bonne façon de procéder" ou pas. Votre vidéo m'a permis de "faire le point" sur l'utilisation des racloirs en position inclinée ainsi que l'utilisation des planes (tellement diabolisées) en tant que racloir en l'inclinant ou pas. : je me demandais parfois pourquoi on voit si peu de tourneurs le pratiquer et encore moins en parler. Je me demandais aussi parfois à ce sujet si je n'étais pas un "déviant des bonnes pratiques" 😂 C'est d'ailleurs un peu pareil pour les différentes utilisations des grains d'orge ou les bédanes quoiqu'un peu plus abordés et utilisés sans doute parce qu'ils impressionnent moins et sont assez incontournables. Bref encore un grand merci. Patrick

This has been a big help in terms of a thing I can remember seeing when I'm sharpening gouges and struggling with torn grain. I'd like to know what people think about getting a bur off the grinder running it in reverse. It was my intention to have a grinder in reverse with two sisal wheels for sharpening skew chisels and woodcarving gouges, but because I dropped my second grinder (the one turning the correct direction) and bent the shaft badly, I ended up with an aluminum oxide wheel on the reverse grinder, and have been using it to sharpen scrapers. The sparks do fly the wrong way of course. Perhaps there are other reasons not to do this? It does leave a bur. Also, here's an idea: Grinders are crap. There will always be a ton of wobble, I've seen youtuber machinists go to ridiculous lengths and still not get them to run true. What about setting up a mini lathe like WEN LA3421 ($209 on amazon) to run grinding wheels?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for watching and support what I do 🤗, my idea behind this is that burr is raised due to grindind metal of, a by product... So direction is not that important..... Even if you hone scraper you will still raised a burr .... I have seen woodturning store that have some of the sharpening systems to use directly on the lathe,so if you like that approch go for it ... I didn't try it so can't tell you much about it..... Now regards grinders, mine is due to replace but even as a rubish one when it does spull up it does run true enough to be able to sharpen and I use oxside white whell which you need to dress as well..... Hope that helpes, it my view on it at least 😅

[@walter67435]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Well I'm not hearing "running grinder in reverse is something we were told never to do because safety" so that's encouraging :)

[@paulotarsocampinho7637]

my dear friend, I understand everything you say and want to demonstrate, but let me add one more detail,... put the tool support at an angle of 90 degrees in relation to the tool, and if there is no vibration the results will be even better and you don't even need to use abrasives,... but then we use them anyway... keep up the good work

[@thefaulenzer677]

Thank you very much for the Video! Even though I was going in with quit some knowledge already, it was an inspiration to try out some different cutting methods on my own and have fun with it. I wanted to mention that you could also use a skew on side grain peaces to cut or even slice the end grain with a rubbing (or touching) bevel. Not an easy nor handy thing, but you could try that cutting method :) it would work best on shapes like your first demonstration peace and can leave the best finishes of all!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 🤗 thanks for suggestion,I have tried that tehnique but I personally find it more difficult to do, but these methods specially standard scraper can give me easier and faster answer, us woodturners are a bit lazy so easiest method is the first one....😉

This is why carbide tools are not scrapers they have a cutting edge.Only need to hold the carbide at the right angle ,you cannot put a burr on a carbide tool.

[@heatherandroberttudor172]

[@glencrandall7051]

You presented some good information but this video ran way too long. I must admit I bailed out at about the 20 minute mark. In the beginning your demo of the gouges was essentially the same. The demonstration of shear scraping is essentially shear cutting or shear slicing. Also I think that demonstrating using a cone affects the result as the wood presented to the tool changes as the diameter of the work piece changes. Even though I disagree with some of your methods, thank you for sharing.🙂🙂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for watching.... Each turner has its ways and that is the beauty, this is from 3 differents master turners from which I learned..... And as I'm not good with names of different type cuts, every begginer will be able to see just from the shavings he produce what the surface feels and looks.... We can agree that there is multiple ways to drive a car, important thing is that we all get to destination....😉

[@thefaulenzer677]

Could you explain what you would do in order to get a smooth finish? I agree with you saying that the wood on a cone changes. The surface speed that changes and the wood as such can vary aswell. But I think Tomislav did a good job with demonstrating the cuts. Cherry is particulary good in this instance, because it can react really precisely to the cuting edge and therefore show the physics behind turning. I do actaully prefer longer and slower videos. If its too slow, you can always skip through it. Just change the skip time to 5sec (10sec should be default) for each time you press the arrow buttons or double tap on mobile.

[@mikek47]

Thank you for the demonstration. You are a very good teacher and your examples were spot on. Some of the ideas like sheer scraping with a gouge always confused me... now I get it. Also, your English is very good.
