Bowl Gouge

Bought a new wood lathe from Laguna and needed some lathe tools. All are forged from spring steel.

Very nice work. However what you have created is a spindle roughing gouge and should never be used for bowl turning. Also, it is strongly recommended to put a ferrule at the beginning of the handle preventing the wood splitting. A catch may cause the tool completely snapped. A bowl gouge flute should be smaller, preferably V shape with thicker material. Good luck

[@FarmsteadForge]

I always enjoy seeing your power hammer work, it is so clean. A wood lathe is on my list for my new shop, I'd like to get into that craft. Thanks for the video.

[@kaseymathew1893]

I have no idea what a "bowl gouge" is, but you certainly look like you know what you're doing. Nicely done!

For wood turning on a lathe

[@jawediqbal9475]

Today I have received first notification of your channel after subscription . Thanks for sharing.

[@beauthetford7608]

Great smithing, although bowl gouges are milled from round stock: what you made is a spindle roughing gouge. A lot of people have snapped gouges forged from flat stock when trying to turn face grain, this can be very dangerous! The tang on yours looks pretty thick, but generally this should never be used on face grain turning!

It is already complicated don t add to it .

Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)

Thank you for a motivating and mesmerizing video. Outstanding!

[@adventureDad1976]

Fantastic!!

[@Alanbataar]

Thanks for the video. I always look forward to yours. Nice turning tools, nice bowl! I also turn wood on my metal lathe, but suffer a guilty conscience. It always prompts me to give it a good vacuuming, cleaning with mineral spirits, and a wipe down with a rag & way oil.

[@nickyork8901]

Great video, thanks. I was going to make the same comment, that really isn't a typical bowl gouge...but then I saw the absolutely lovely bowl you produced!!

[@rigoniironworks]

Yeah, still figuring out my new lathe+tools. It was too late to change the title. It worked fine on the outside turning, switched to scrapers/and a store bought gouge for the interior.

[@klausalan]

Great work! Being able to make your own tools and then make a beautiful bowl with them is truly impressive. I would buy one of your bowl gouges.

[@truecockney438]

Another great bit of work 👍

Always amazing to see you work. Very beautiful job. Amazing absolutely amazing. It turned out very well there. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

hello, you have a useful channel)) you are an excellent craftsman, a master class in blacksmithing tongs, it would be great to see your production, thank you.

[@leonardocutini1903]

Super Job ! Congrats .. 👏

[@upup329]

Great job well done :-)

[@jason00121]

I like the long swage you use. Not sure why I never thought of that. Looks like a good solution to the choppy marks I have trouble with when forging gouges

[@rigoniironworks]

It helps, but some marks remain. Best setup would be to squish the whole length in a die.

[@moh5463]

Chapeau.

Дружище, у тебя очень крутая мастерская. Каждое видео наслаждение для глаз) А почему ты не используешь токарный станок по дереву для изготовления рукояток? И ещё, после заточки на гриндере разве резец не перегревается? Кромка продолжает держать заточку?

[@jesseherman2453]

Always makes me smile when I see a machinist spinning the hand wheel feed with a piece of wood stock chucked between centers. Also that is a gouge that Robert Sorby would be proud of. Where do you find of chunk of ash that size ! And is the bowl North American Walnut ? Just full of comments and questions tonight, I am 🙂 Really like the rest of the assortment of turning tools you have there as well. Thank You for taking the time to share your work and techniques with us !

I've watched this several times. Like how clean, tidy and well laid out workshop. Just one question, we're you using a metal turning lathe to make the gouge handle? Thanks.

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks, yes its easier to turn a true cylinder on the metal lathe/much faster too. For everything else, I use the wood lathe.

[@craigtaylor9345]

Awesome video’s. I have the same type of shop 50x60 with a bricked small apartment I live in. I don’t have a power hammer, I wish I did. Are you powering that place with a generator?

[@rigoniironworks]

Sounds good, no I have power from the road, 200amp to the shop.

[@Blou55]

Very nice chisel...what kind of steel do you use for it ? Looks like something as 6040 carbon steel.

[@rigoniironworks]

Leaf spring from a Fire truck.

[@jeremygraham2805]

Stunning work! What did you apply to the bowl to get that finish?

[@rigoniironworks]

beeswax from my hives.

[@panedrop]

Nice, I didn't realize you have woodworking skills as well although it only makes sense. Are your techniques common for a production smith? You work so precisely compared to a lot of the smiths I watch, who are admittedly more one-off knife makers.

I appreciate his skills. I got curious with regards to what is return on investment e.g. how long it takes for him to produce a unit and what how much he will charge for the end product. I think this is a hobby or is he making these tools for himself, right?

[@rigoniironworks]

Hobby is such a horrible word. But yes, I am passionate about forging And have a full time job as a fireman, so one day on shift, two days off. My days off, I run my shop.

A subject I need to learn. Don't know what steel you used. As I have a Forge, After I realized no verbal communication For DIY instructions. And gotten POUNDING in my head. I turned off the sound and wrote thumbs down.Just I don't learn much when I say more than the teacher 😅 🙃 but good subject.

Regarding the piece of steel you used. Was that an old bush hog blade by any chance?

[@rigoniironworks]

Truck leaf spring.

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

@@rigoniironworks ;Thank you very much. I have a pile of those and I use them to make knives. The steel you used resembles stubby bush hog blades, which are extremely tough. Nice job on the gouge. Be safe, have fun.

[@smacksteel708]

@@rigoniironworks Thanks, i was actually looking at the no.5...

[@goatman7533]

Very nice job. However, what you created is called a "Roughing Gouge" in the woodturning community. A roughing gouge should only be used on spindle work and never, never ever on bowls. You will get a really nasty catch using it on bowls because you are cutting cross grain and end grain.

[@rigoniironworks]

hmm, good to know.
