Basic Bowl

[@Mike-qp7lh]

I never comment on videos, but this is incredibly well done. Thank you very much for the well shot and well detailed demonstration.

[@stephenmcfadyen1385]

Tim, basic turning methods are a great way for so called, experienced turners, to again touch base with basic methods, familiarity does breed contempt and we all need to return to the basic from time too time. great bowl, great wood, great finish and great turning keep well. Regards Steve

[@knottie_gurldeannamorris1136]

Thank you for keeping with the basics. It really does help. And thank Brian for a great job with the video and editing.

[@luisramosmartine9033]

Perfesto buen profesional

[@johnwallace4408]

A simple but elegant turn. BEAUTIFUL, SAFE TURNING, JOHN

[@casperscuts2627]

Great job! Best camera angles I've seen used with a lathe, shows the hand placement and tool angles as you cut. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Tim, you have taught me a lot about Woodturning. Thanks Take care

[@mikenco]

I've watched a LOT of woodturning vids. I do like yours! Very upbeat and well paced, as well as educational!

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Tim, thanks for doing a video on the basics. Some of us, like me, need that from an expert turner like you.

[@stevefromlondon9175]

Thank you for making & sharing your work as a beginner I have learnt something today Thank you Regards Steve UK London

[@stunny3]

thank you, for both the video and your attitude - it was a pleasure to watch and learn.

[@bradgarrett7790]

The shavings coming out of his pocket was awesome. =)

[@AffordBindEquipment]

Sometimes I forget and bring home a shirt pocket full of shavings, including my pants pockets...wife doesn't appreciate that too much...I guess it pays to wear a smock.

[@Terrythemaker]

Why have I not seen your videos before, this is brilliant ! Especially for a novice like me.

[@bxmachine]

Great back to basics video, More please!

[@dougieyoung6536]

I’ve just started wood turning and this is one of the best vids I have watched. Filmed with a great sense of humour 👍😃 great close ups showing the angle of the chisel and the cutting edge. All a great help for me as a beginner. Thanks Tim👍😃

[@jayrocka1200]

You make it look easy ! You are a great teacher.

[@Nashmau]

I remember my first bowl, it was in HS shop class; man I miss those days..

[@daviddoyle4603]

wish I could find some blanks like that ...Beautiful

[@tobiasblock2694]

The most I know about woodturnig is due to watching tims videos. Nice video, how you ever do. My tip for the blank you turned is Rüster. Don't know the correct word in English. Maybe elm? Greetings from Germany. Keep turning.

[@umlooad]

Great introduction. My new Lathe will arrive in a few days and I am can not wait to try it out. Thanks.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

Danish oil= 1 part varnish or urethane or varathane, 1 part linseed oil, and 1 part paint thinner. Works just the same as the Watco. I've been using it for years. Dries overnight, in the cold maybe 2 days. I use it on all the products I sell and it's way cheaper than Watco. Buffs out to a real nice natural shine.

[@jimmiehall1930]

Very well explained and excellent visuals. Thanks

[@ronh9384]

Never bored Tim. 😊😊😊😊

[@jimscofield6857]

I'm an old retired welder, (beginner) so tips & learning comes slow..... But it's appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

[@Sammo-w2y]

Have a tip. Put some wax on your worm screw then wind the bowl on then loosen and then wind it back on again... the bowl is held tight on the work screw and comes off so much easier.

[@spacecaptain1970]

I love your channel. Extremely informative and enjoyable

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Tim, enjoyed this and I'm looking for others in your series. I'm relatively new to turning, live over here in MO on a farm so have a great supply of wood.

[@TorbayTimberTwirler]

Basic and simple and beautiful, nice job as always.

[@paulspencer7401]

Yet to start woodturning, saving for my lathe, but that was an excellent lesson, many thanks Tim.

[@ajrob2888]

Great video. Wood looks like Macacauba/Macawood. I've got a block of it now waiting for it to dry.

[@carolriley569]

Really nice bowl!

[@jcwong3208]

You are good teacher. Thanks

[@tdkrei]

Great video Tim, thanks.

[@Aethalops]

Could you give details on the particular grind you're using on your bowl gouge? I know that Thomson makes both U and V grinds, and of course there's the issue of wing sweep. Since you have so many different ones, commenting on that detail as you choose for each project would be helpful.

[@kylewo0]

I would like to know as well/ I see most ppl hand grind it/ so I figure I’ll learn that 🤷‍♂️

[@geewizz3335]

awesome job love watching your work. Be good to see more often thanks Tim great method

[@davidweimer5700]

Enjoy watching your videos. From woods I have used, my first guess would be Pau Rosa, then Jatoba.

[@samuelfordham9838]

Thanks for the "back to basics" video.

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

Such a shame a coring system doesn't get used more often on such wood.. Absolutely gorgeous figure. Wood that sells itself.

[@trueitbycjtruitt9546]

Boy you have some beautiful lathe tools on the wall very cool , I love the tips your giving , maybe some day I'll b able to afford a robust lathe , but right now I've got a jet 2112vs or is it 1221vs ha ha can't tell I'm new to turning , the best tool I have is one of the Mr Larry's "Beaver" carbide bit my tool set I have is a HF , not the best but will do for now , I have to make a handle for the beaver I was thinking about making it out of cherry or cedar,..... that's the only wood I have and they are both fairly new so it's all wet , on a note the bowl came out very nice!!!! 👊😎🤙🍻. -CJ

[@RobertSchoenert]

Inspiring video, thanks. One question, why not put the oil on while it's still on the lathe?

[@Wackjacko1992]

Another great video Tim thanks. I hope you are doing the 12days of Christmas again this year. Keep them coming

[@IBDaddyO]

jack lol, good eye

[@kylewo0]

You covered everything , perfect . I’m happy to see you turning a dry piece . Vs some of the videos I watch are green wood. I’m new to bowl turning and loving it . Started with flatwork.

[@DobynsMedia]

When do you know to do a recuse and when to make a tenon? What are the pros and cons to each?

[@coswood3454]

Thanks, you are a Great teacher 🤗

[@petersmith5199]

Good quality video, thanks for sharing.

[@timriley8393]

Another informative video! I like the idea of going back to basics from time to time. I'm sure you just forgot, with your wealth of knowledge but, candle wax goes a long way on the worm screw. I'm not going to talk about the air hose incident. I'm sure OSHA or plenty of others will, lol! Keep up the great work. Tell Brian the same, As always, I look forward to your next video!

[@jackreeves3001]

As always great job, thanks for sharing!

[@brayswoodturning5036]

Tim, thanks your vedio's are awesome. Tip, put some candle wax on worm screw before screwing wood on. Easyer to get bowl off when done.

[@scottyoudris7770]

Love your video. Have always wanted to try turning a bowl. My question is where can I find a ruler like you used with the slot in the center?

[@andrews5926]

I wish I had good tools I got one of those harbor freight chisel set and they don’t hold an edge for more than 3 minutes turning white oak is there a budget beginners set around 50 through 150$ great video

[@nickyz4183]

Thank you so much for your video!

[@leksey7870]

Great job!

[@lmallard3788]

I am new to turning. Have not bought my own turning equipment, but am researching. I have, with assistance, rough cut- turned two bowls- one in Bradford pear and the other in some variety of oak. I have seen via youtube, two methods for attaching the bottom of the bowl to the head stock. One method was to create a tenon and another to make a cavity for the jaws to grab the bowl. It seems that with a tenon that will be cut off, would be better than having the jaws grab from the inside of the cavity... I am thinking that stress on the cavity could fracture the bowl and stress on the tenon, that will eventually be removed, would not fracture the bowl. When and/or each method? Thanks for your video.

[@brucegordon3566]

Like the. Video where can I buy the unit from see all the other put an what are like

[@jacktrotter5357]

Tim, cool elbo! 1) How deep can you hollow ? 2) what is smallest opening diameter thru which you can hollow? Jack in Idaho

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

Very nice!

[@michaelbledsoe3646]

I have been spindle turning for about a year and a half and is getting into bowl turning. You did a recess but which is better a recess or a tenon?

[@Putzenaround]

Tim my question is the same as another commenter. When do you know to do a recuse and when to make a tenon? What are the pros and cons to each? I have the ability to do both but I have never done the grabbing of the bowl with my chuck by expanding outward. I have always made a tenon and grabbed it. Also, when I say always I'm talking maybe ten bowls. I am very interested in the answer. Also which do you believe is the safest? You got me hooked on turning from your "Segmented Vessels" episode of Woodturning Workshop. Thanks

[@dallastexas535]

😂👍🤟🇺🇸 You a veeeeery fun woodturner!👍👍👍

[@davejones2740]

Great video, but I have 2 newbie questions. First, could you explain what a relief grind is on the scraper? Second, at what speeds should the lathe be running?

[@philochristos]

The narrator who advertises Robust Tools sounds just like the guy who does the Tandy tutorials for Tandy Leather.

[@rexb6478]

Great video Tim. It was awesome to see you at the Florida Symposium. Question; is there a written or unwritten rule or guidance on the curve of the outside of the bowl?

[@JohnSolie]

That box labeled “teeth,”and the box labeled “glow in the dark” are they related? Lol! Great looking bowl!

[@dondavis769]

Really like your straight forward style Tim--I'm guessing that wood is one of the Rosewood family woods, especially since you said you paid a pretty penny for it at Woodcraft

[@kevbryant7199]

I just watched your basic bowl video. I found it very informative and interesting. It really is going to help me a lot. As a time served wood machinist I learned about and how to get the best results from many wood machines, including the compressor for blowing down etc.l thought you were very entertaining, but have one issue. You pointed a compressed air blower at your face and blew the dust off. This really is a no no as it could cause a embolism and death. Please dont mess with compressed air. I'd like to enjoy your videos for years to come. Many thanks. Kev.

[@Vitaly_Nezhinsky]

What is the bowl made of? Very beautiful.

[@howardmarder3760]

Where do I get blanks that thick? I've been gluing 2' thickness together to get 6-8" height but frequent catches.

[@feitoporeu]

Hi Tim! I know this is an older video, but I am watching almost all of your channel because I just bought a new lathe and am now able to try making new pieces! My question is: you've cut the blank. What do you make with the remaining wood of it? Because you're turning some high quality woods and it must hurt to see small pieces of it being thrown away. I really like your work, best wishes from Brazil!

[@John-gj1jr]

I wish you'd expounded more on sanding. While it's not necessary to show the process in its entirety, hitting the high spots wouldn't hurt. For instance, does your sanding consist of only using handheld sandpaper as opposed to power or inertia sanding devices? What grits do you use and how high do you go? Good video though, especially for beginners and others as well. I'm definitely going to get some Danish oil. Thank you, John

[@AffordBindEquipment]

I'll add my 2 cents here. In my experience, sanding takes twice as long as turning. Never skimp on sanding. If you get tired sanding and want to move to finish, leave it for later and then sand again. If it doesn't shine before you add the oil, it certainly won't shine afterwards and you will wish you had sanded more. Look carefully with a good light to make sure you removed all the tearout and ridges as these will show bigtime when you add the oil or finish. I use an air angle grinder (high speed) with 2" roloc sand discs. Depending on how much tear out, I might start with 80, up to 240. The coarser grits on the grinder can actually do shaping on wood that gets too scary to turn or where there needs to be some serious wood removal and gouges aren't doing it. Then I hand sand with 120, 180, 220 and up to 500. I also use 4-0 steel wool, depending on the wood. I sand at about 500 +- RPM because anything faster than that will burn the sandpaper and can cause black burnt areas on the wood that then need to be sanded out. Use a leather glove and you won't burn your hand. Hope this helps! I've turned about 75 bowls so far and this is what I have learned in the process. I'm still playing around with different finishes. But the Watco natural he mentions in the vid is very good. I add it on the lathe at slow speed. This heats up the oil and makes it penetrate better. Don't add a lot on porous woods as it will seep out overnight and make a mess. Sand the next day and add another coat. Do this 3-4 times to get the best penetration and prep for wax or finish. This is another place where haste makes for a not very good finish. currently I use Johnson's paste wax or Deft lacquer. Hope this helps someone!

[@toastandcakeyoutube4395]

If you follow response off wearing glove and wire wool while lathe is running you will loose your hand or fingers very fast don't do that

[@tomasarguinzoni9022]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@jmc19.]

Hello of France 👍👍👍👍👍

[@thomasnewton9818]

Wax the threads on a screw chuck before screwing into the blank.

[@russellmckeithan727]

What ever wood it is I think it is gorgeous

[@ronh9384]

Great video Tim. And Brian. Tim what did you have clamped to the tool to set your angle for sharpening at 4:02 ? Does it also function as a heat sink?

[@nickyork8901]

I think that is just the jig for holding the tool, not a heat sink. The tool is made of HSS so overheating is less of an issue.

[@LAP1050]

Great video Tim. Who’s woodworm screw are you using and will it fit a Nova chuck? Thanks

[@davimars1]

Thanks for this great video for us novice turners. What brand of chuck did you use in the video?

[@geraldbourque5674]

I'm guessing you have a 60 degree grind on that gouge?

[@randaltucker2981]

Hey Tim. Randal Tucker here in El Reno, OK. Question on your boring system lying on the back of the workbench in this video; it looks like a laser guided Oneway, is it? Thoughts/video?

[@paulnewton5171]

Great Video Tim. Could you share what the camera equipment is? Particularly the the small one used for close-ups?

[@woodturningwithtimyoder]

It is a GoPro 6. Love it!

[@peterwells5059]

What angle do you use on the tool

[@eevieiftrue]

I'm taking a wood shop class in high school and the teacher made us watch this video. I thought it was going to be so/so but i had a lot of fun watching this. my favorite quote was "Woodturner's porn"

[@HarryHound1]

Hi Tim Great videos. Tim mentioned the relief grind on your flat scraper, I have a set of three similar scrapers, would you recommend I put a relief grind on them and what is the main benefit of doing so? Michael (UK)

[@noxwalnox8325]

Very cool

[@andrewhorowitz2630]

What angle is the relief grind on your scraper?

[@sarahhathaway1923]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood all I want is wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍I love wood

[@robmcgrath5202]

Tim, as a newbie myself I assumed a face place was more stable and secure than a wood screw mounting. Can you (or someone) explain the advantages and disadvantages to both?

[@evanhoing2212]

Rob McGrath A face plate might be more stable, but once you take it off and you need to remount the bowl, especially if it’s a rough Turned bowl, it’s hard to find center again. The woodworm screw allows you to easily remount the bowl

[@ethanmcginnis8768]

How long did the whole bowl take to make?

[@AffordBindEquipment]

A chuck won't fit on my ancient lathe. Are there any vids on doing it the "old way" with a faceplate?

[@glencrandall8334]

Get a roll of "woodturners double faced tape". Rockler, Woodcraft, or Craft Supplies are good sources. You will be surprised just how strong the connection between the faceplate and the bowl bottom can be. Just be sure the bowl bottom is dead flat. Put pressure on the connection for about 10 or 15 minutes for a great connection.

[@franksmodels29]

Hey Tim great vid, like that ruler where did you get it?

[@gagecolson]

Frank yazzetta He designed and sells it :)

[@rafaelramos1486]

Nice thanks

[@mikelaclear3906]

Where did you get that ruler?

[@jamesharless5357]

Nice!

[@alcinolima2776]

Qual a madeira melhor de trabalhar, a seca ou a verde?

[@jimmysalsbury3880]

I would guess sapele. Like others on here, I'm not sure. It has some beautiful grain whatever it is.

[@WesleyRobinson]

looks like Jatoba

[@boazjoe1]

Still the best.

[@TheMtzepp]

Woodturners Porn! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. I am new to turning and came across some of your "how not to use tools" and they are great and entertaining. However this is the video that made me subscribe. Your videos are awesome, keep up the great and entertaining videos.

[@Nabaati336]

Old bloodwood or jatoba. My bet is on the latter, especially since it was bought at Woodcraft. It's almost certainly not sapele given the intermingled black grain and doesn't look like any kind of burl I've seen, especially madrone.

[@vastator]

I know I am late to the party, but where do I find a ruler like that?

[@woodturningwithtimyoder]

Wtwtim.com 🙂

[@coachingangels]

Your humor amazes me - lol

[@coachingangels]

Could you have turned this piece without cutting the corners ? I have no bandsaw :(

[@jasonwerner5897]

When making a bowl what kind of finish can I use that you’re able to put food in and it be safe to eat out of like The salad bowl or chips

[@christopherdavis3760]

Mineral oil works well. You can pick up a big bottle from CVS or Walgreens. Soak it into the wood and it's good to go. After every wash it's good to reapply a coat of mineral oil to preserve it

[@jasonwerner5897]

Thank you I appreciate the help
