[@richardeljay]

What a fantastic video. Am interested in getting into Woodturning but a little perplexed by all the elements. This was packed with information, very clear, easy to understand and makes me think I might be able to have a crack at it.

[@nicholaskemp2246]

I've just bought a lathe. This is the site I needed. Thank you so much.

Great video my wife brought me a Axminster craft AC305WL woodturning lathe now looking for wood turning chisels. I found this video very helpful thank you

[@EminHocha]

Best and useful video i have ever seen. Ty.

[@quirkygreece]

I haven’t used a lathe since I was at school back in the 1960s, but I’ve recently purchased a very cheap “hobby” lathe from Lidl and I want to start making small stuff, mostly just for fun . . . I like making sawdust! This is a great guide to what chisels I need and how to start using them. Thank you for an excellent, interesting and informative guide to get me started.

[@virgiltoepfer7087]

Thanks, 74 yrs old and just getting into wood turning. Bought an old craftsman metal lathe and converting into wood. Haven't turned wood since 6th grade. My new hobby, I hope lol. Appreciate your teaching.

[@axminster]

[@axminster]

Glad to help and that you found our video useful.

[@SandyObradovic]

great video

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

Sir by far the best video out there explaining what each tool does and how to do it. I’m gonna save this and run out to my rockler store and get some new tools. I’ve been using carbide scrapper and round head? Tools and I’m feeling limited.

[@axminster]

You are very welcome, thanks for watching!

[@pedalman130]

Superb video ! Explains what each tool can be used for, I now know what to buy.

[@TimothySensney]

Yes this is the most amazing video ever thank you so very much for all the great information

[@aliparvini2114]

Absolutely brilliant sir straight to the point ,specially the explanation on the tools and their use, thank you.👍

[@rickschuman2926]

I like making skews and chisels for the lathe from vintage firmer chisels.

[@anneber1804]

Brilliant video. I understand a lot more now. Ill be putting it into practice tomorrow. Thank you

[@jamesfisher8194]

I teach woods in a High School and I use this video to help the student understand the difference in the tools. Great job.

[@axminster]

Hi James, that's great to hear our videos are helping teach the next generation of woodworkers. Thanks for sharing.

[@coatsiecoatsie]

Fantastic video.....so clear and very well explained.....thank you

[@dlynnhicks]

Thanks. I just can't get past the feeling that I am a beginner. Been a little over a year since power and a cleaned up bench. Hoping to get back out and play with my lathe again. Thank you very much!

[@paulwest3583]

Thanks, I'm just beginning and any tips or help is much appreciated.

[@evanhovorka]

Great job! You are quick to get to the point but explain things brilliantly.

[@markwoodcock01]

Fantastic, these videos are a real boost, I am new to Woodturning and thought I would have to wait until COVID had gone before I could buy a lathe and get on a training course, now I can buy my lathe and train on line. Thanks Axminster…

[@davidrobinson4434]

Great video. I’m new to lathe turning and this was very helpful information!!

[@dianahenderson3777]

Fabulous video. Learned so much.

[@axminster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alangreen2774]

[@axminster]

Hi Alan, glad you found this video useful and thanks for subscribing 🙂

[@LarryDMitchell]

Excellent. I especially like the close-up of the business end of the tool and your concise narrative throughout the video. Wish I could give you a 👍👍👍👍👍 on the like button. Greetings from Kentucky!

[@stevenmcdaniel1797]

Literally the perfect video!!

[@noiamhippyman]

I already know it's not going to be nearly as easy as you make it seem but I'm looking forward to following along once I have my lathe setup. Great video!

[@benjaminnorman7151]

Wonderful instruction. Thank you for the tips and advice!

[@kennyc6177]

Thanks. Great example of how to use each of the tools.

[@duanes6478]

Great Job! I purchased a lath a few years ago and finally got around to using it. While purchasing other used tools I acquired about a dozen old lath tools. I have ordered the sharpening equipment for the tools and now I have an understanding of what each tool does. Great job on your video.

[@axminster]

Glad to hear you found this video useful. Thanks for watching :)

[@193therman]

Very informative. I just started turning and to know how and when to use the right gouges was just what I needed.

[@axminster]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Sir. Thankyou for sparing us some of your valuable time and showing us great footage, of the things we'll need to know, going forward. You have great skills, thankyou.

[@axminster]

Hi Ian, thank you for your comments, I hope you found the video useful.

[@allenperkins7571]

Such a great video. I learned more about my tools with this than any other.

[@axminster]

Thank you for your lovely comments. Glad to hear you have found it useful :)

[@lorriebuxton2041]

Been fighting with the skew mine were straight resharpened with an arc works better for me thank you for great video

[@paulspencer7401]

As always so exlanatory, this is really helping my woodturning effort, very grateful, many thanks

[@cristinamerritt9697]

Thanks really helpful video for a beginner like myself!

[@theofarmmanager267]

I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and turning for the last 20 (?). So, I’m experienced and reasonably skilled. For any newcomers, I can vouch that this is an excellent video with all that you need to know to get good results quickly. If only, it had been around when I started. I’ve downsized my lathe now to an Axminster machine. Looks very much like the one on the video - perhaps a little smaller. Having had a large, much more expensive lathe, I can say that the Axminster does not represent a step down in quality. I have no connection with Axminster other than as a customer of many years.

[@axminster]

Great to hear you enjoyed our video and thank you for your kind words

[@capti443]

A really excellent demonstration and explanation. Bravo!

[@hankvana2149]

Thanks very much - this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm not into wood turning but I've bought a set of these chisels and made a tool rest for my metal lathe so I can make small pieces like tool handles. Your explanations of which tool to choose and how to use it are excellent! Learned more in 11 minutes than in watching hours of other videos. Bookmarked for future reference! You've encouraged me subscribe and explore wood turning in more detail. I've too many hobbies as is, so I don't know if I should thank you for that ;) Cheers!

[@axminster]

Hi Hank, Thanks for subscribing and glad you have found our videos useful 😊

[@grahamprice3230]

Good instructional video .For beginner a bit on mountindpg blanks,centre finding,punching etc.would be good .When using roughing gouge having your left thumb clear of the tool will result in loosing your nail or your thumb .Take care

[@bensonmaso4842]

Thanks mate... M subscribing.. I always wanted to do this

[@jettkeyser9909]

Just exactly what I need as a novice…

[@derekpercy7787]

[@joseluisvalencianotafaner5160]

Muy buen vídeo, desde Teruel-España

[@walkerjames4348]

Awesome

[@JanWiewiora]

This movie is verry help full my question how is the best speed lathe for beginners?

[@axminster]

Hi there, the speed of the lathe will be determined by the type of project and ability.

[@Zachpathering]

I’m in school right now and can’t turn up the volume but this video is still great without it

[@terrylay6034]

Thank's for the demo

[@marcelrenaut5532]

Bonjours l'exposé est magnifique dommage qu'il ne soient pas en Français ou sous-titrer, Merci MR.

[@in2branding]

Good video, thank you.

[@neilstubbs4575]

Very good video. Question; I have a set of Record chisels that doesn't include a parting tool. Why would this be the case?

[@MOHAMEDHASSAN-fk9jv]

Fantastic tutorial 👍👍👍

[@amarghol3117]

Thank you so much

[@rdmilbourn]

Great stuff thanks bro

[@terrycallow2979]

Just about to buy my first 15cm bench lathe do I need smaller bench tools for this lathe? Thank you.

[@axminster]

Hi Terry, here is Colwin's reply: "No, you can use the same size lathe, however, sometimes, especially when bowl turning, you will find the bed can get in the way of the longer handles on bowl gouges. Also the cut from a larger gouge can cause problems with lathes of smaller motors just not having the power to drive through the cut." I hope this helps.

[@johnhaste7189]

So the spindle gouge & the skew chisel are the only tools in this set where the tool rest is above center?

[@axminster]

The skew will need to be higher for planning cuts and the spindle gouge can be used just above centre line.

[@tonymiddlehurst8438]

Not yet got my lathe so please excuse the question. Does it matter which direction the lathe is turning the spindle? I notice you've got it running 'into' the tools, ie anti-clock, rather than 'away' from them.

[@axminster]

Hi Tony, the lathe has to run toward you in order to turn. Hope this helps

[@tonymiddlehurst8438]

@@axminster Thanks yes I've read a bit more since then and now feel a bit stupid for thinking it could work the other way!

[@jakkihambrook3041]

I want to thank you all. X

[@shikamaroii8393]

Have a nice vid . Good job god bls u sir . From brmm
