Bowl gouge basics and how to master hollowing a bowl

[@yveslandreville1375]

Oh my god, i must have watched 1000 woodturning videos in the last 2 years, from you, Richard Rafan and many others master like you, but this one is TOP 5 on the why and how to, really really appreciate your explanations and camera point of view. Thank for all your great videos

Thanks for watching 😀

[@johnwolf5288]

Tomislav, this video shows that you are in the select group of master teachers of bowl turning. You clearly explain the how and why. You show and demonstrate the importance of controlling the subtle movements in pitch, roll and yaw of the cutting tip of the gouge. Very nicely done!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir for generous kind words, I really appriciate that ☺️ Glad you liked the video and thank you for watching

[@frankphillips7436]

I have been turning for about 5 years. I am self taught (as will become apparent in a minute). I have recently begun watching videos of people who truly know how to turn. I have turned and sold a decent number of bowls but I never knew how much more work I was doing than I needed to. I had bought a fairly decent bowl gouge but had no proper idea how to use it and I briefly attempted to use it in the same fashion as I would my spindle gouge. After a few tragic failures, I basically put it away and continued using my spindle gouge. I would never have attempted to use a bowl gouge in what I now know to be the proper manner. I saw a video recently where I watched a guy use a bowl gouge the right way and I was very blown away. Then I watched this spectacular video. Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Aaaa thank you very much for kind words and support 🤗 I hope videos like this will help you out on your turning journey as when tools are used properly there is no better feeling.... Once again thank you very much 🤗

[@RandalMoffett]

I can’t thank you enough for your bowl gouge instruction. I’m a newbie and have not had any hands on instruction, but your video was great and got me over my fear of using gouges. Your showing both the right way, but showing the wrong way made so much sense! I went straight to my shop and was able to rough turn a bowl using only 2 gouge, after I reshaped both with the curved wings. They work just like you said! Again, thank you so much for your videos👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

So glad to hear that and I'm honored to be able to help out. Thank you soo much

[@AndrewMoizer]

This video is like one of those reference books you keep going back to. Just watched it again and really focussed on the tool tip while cutting and things are much clearer to me. And the quality lets me zoom in on the video to really see the details. And your views of the tool tips really help show the profile and cutting edge. (My only suggestion would be to hold some views a bit longer to give time to let it soak in, I’ll watch again in slow speed which I think will give me the time I need). The more I watch your bow gouge material, the more it becomes apparent that the asymmetrical grind is really giving you two tools in one. And sensible since the more I understand it seems that the cuts needed are quite different depending on which side of the edge you’re using/needing. Thanks again for this and Merry Christmas.

[@AndrewMoizer]

The other thing I forgot to add was that the tool with the black finish really makes it easier to see the grind profile too.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Andrew, I really appreciate that and I'm happy that you find my videos helpfull

[@NGildred]

You are an amazing teacher sir! Thank you for all the tips and knowledge. You have really helped me up my skills. I love turning and have never had a teacher or mentor so I rely of advice on KZbin and your the best at explaining techniques.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you soo much

Thank you soo much

[@geoffcampbell7846]

I think that's the most complete discussion on the right entry with the gouge I've seen. I think sometimes others I've watched don't fully understand what they are actually doing as if its muscle memory for them so becomes natural and they don't consider perhaps beginners do not possess the experience and need guidance on even the simplist of actions. I was glued to the screen at the end as you made the wood act like plastic. I was desperately hoping it wouldn't break. Well done, and thanks. That was a proper treat. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇪

[@garytompkins3761]

Great tutorial, especially showing the angle of cuts on the bottom and end grain tearing. It really helps remove the mystery of the bottom cut. I have only been turning for a couple of years and have found, as you pointed out, there is no magic universal grind. I have watched most of the master turners and see that we all usually use more than one tool. It always comes down to the kind of wood, how it cuts and the shape we want. I love watching you and Richard work and can clearly see the advantages of the asymmetrical grind. Thanks again

It was very helpful that you repeated how to make the cuts correctly several times and also demonstrated what happens when the angles are not correct. I'll be watching many more of your videos for sure. Many thanks! 👏

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Your lesson here is so informative and helpful.

Thanks for providing the very helpful info and answering my questions around hand positioning on the handle. This makes perfect sense (now) and will help me prevent skate-back. I was closing my flute but not leveling the gouge during entry and still getting the skate-back.

Tamislav, You nailed it! Congratulations on producing such fine work. Thank you for this and all your videos. I’ve been turning just over a year. I switched to the asymmetric grind (from the 40/40 grind) several months ago thanks to Mr Raffan and you. It suits me. But I have felt I didn’t have it quite right yet. This video, especially at the clip beginning 27 minutes in, is where it finally clicked. The close-up and your explanation did the trick.

[@MarklTucson]

This was super useful Tomislav. Appreciate the detail you provided and the time you took to clearly present the entry approaches. You also reinforced one of the things I learned when I was starting out -- if one has the angles right and the bevel riding the work properly, it doesn't matter how fast you move through the work, the tool will remain stable. I made the mistake early on when I was getting skate back and other problems in thinking I just needed to move the tool faster to get through where the tool was skating back. It took a while to realize that it was the approach and keeping the bevel on the work that were critical and speed was then irrelevant.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that, thank you for watching and I honored to remind you of this 😀

[@bobostrowski8832]

Tomislav, this was very informative. I have all my bowl gouges ground to a 60 degree angle (you tube recommendation from somebody at some time). You make me now want to experiment with different grinds, especially the asymmetric grind. I was surprised to hear that you have your bowl gouges at 40 - 45 degrees. I use that on spindle gouges. Maybe this is why I tend to struggle on the inside of bowls and it feels like it takes a long time. You seem to slice through the bowls like warm butter. You're now one of my favorite turners on You Tube. THANK YOU!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you,glad to hear that sir.... I have 45 deegres ish bevel as it gives me cleaner cut on top 2/3 of the bowl and the rest I do with scrapers..... Never stop experiment, even if you find it a fail it ends up being succesfull.... That is how I remember to start again getting a burr on scrapers with SCREWDRIVER 😅 Once again thank you

[@balahmay]

Perfect timing on this for as I am now at the point of trying some different grinds on my tools. Currently testing the 40-40 which I liked for the inside on a bowl but not as much for the outside. I bought a specific bottom cut gouge but actually like better an old spindle gouge that I ground for doing bottom cuts. I am using scrapers there too. So far that perfect finish cut that doesn’t require some cleaning up is a bit elusive for me. And 1mm thickness- impressive. So now you did it to me again. I’m off to go practice.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I have woodturning as a hobby, but I try to see as much content as possible to improve. Your video is simply fantastic and in a simple and objective way.
