This really helped me to understand the difference between spindle and bowl work, and how the bowl gouge severs the fiber and then removes the material. Great video. How could 42 people dislike this video? Clearly they have never tried to turn a bowl, or are professional "dislikers".

Ive not had any formal instruction - and whilst it looks fun and easy on videos, there are, as you can imagine, various issues that arise. Flying tools etc finally reulting in a broken tool post. I wanted to thank you for the time taken and detail shown in this video. I felt a black weight lift from my shoulders as you answered the questions that have been cloying at my soul. FANTASTIC! Some things you just can't figure out yourself, especially being a proponent of the bish bash bosh method. Gently does it. Nice one!

Hi Brian, As a beginner wood turner I find this video as being excellent,excellent,excellent!!!! I well know from experience that trying to teach/show someone how to do something can be very difficult but you have mastered it very well! When you know how to do something and have been doing it for years it is very difficult to bring yourself back to "ground zero" and not forget all those little things that come naturally! Thank you very much for this video! Tom

Just rewatched this video for the third time. I find your "fundamentals" series my goto videos when I run into things that don't just seem right. Your technical approach creates understanding of not only the how but the why that appeals to this retired engineer. This is important to a new turner (been turning for about a year and a half) who now has lots of time to experiment. Thanks for this whole series, I have found none better. You are creating craftspersons (politically correct) out of the uninitated.

Thanks so much for the thorough discussion and great camera angles - well done. I also now understand what the nuanced twisting of the tool does in terms of speed-of-cut. I always knew about "riding the bevel", but did not really understand what was physically happening between the wood and the tool. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Bravo ,excellente explication ,you are a good teacher ,Brian ,like Mike Waldt . I had myself to explain that problem with end grain cutting using a comparison with cat stroking ,always from head to tail ,never from tail to head ,cats don't like it ,"coucher le fil ,ne pas le soulever" (over the grain ,not against it ?) by the way ,the best way to learn english is when it's about what you are interested in ,thank you for that lesson too !

Let me add my thanks to many others listed below. I am fairly new to bowls on the lathe and am self taught with big assists from you experts on uTube. It helps me learn when I have a problem to understand why the problem occurred. End grain has been a mystery that I couldn't come up with an explanation for. Can't wait to get back to the shop and practice what I have learned from this video. This is the first time it has been explained to me along with a suggested remedy and it finally makes sense to me. Thanks again!

Right on time Brian, I'm fairly new to turning and yeah thought I knew enough (Wrong). I've scrollsawn around 25 years now and foundout turning and sawing are two differant worlds. LOL. Scrolled some rings from dimentional wood, glued, attached a face plate, supported the tail and got to work, haha, after untold catches and completly breaking the piece in half twice I was ablle to repair it but put it on a shelf until I learned a bit more. I was blaming it being red oak but bottom line it was my lack of knowledge. After your video I think I'm going to put it back in the lathe and finish it. Live an learn, LOL. Thanks a bunch, you probably saved my first attempt at a vase. Who knows, maybe it will survive me after all, haha.....

Mr. Havens, Absolutely perfect video topic to answer the question I have run into. Not only that, but your method of teaching was so spot on, easily understood and well produced (show and tell) that I feel I will never waste expensive, rare, hard wood again ......... at least by my own ignorance and lack of skill. I will put this to practice immediately !! You see, I recently came across some really hard Bloodwood blanks and proceeded to turn a simple box. I had no trouble w/ the the spindle cuts and not much more w/ the hollowing. I started in the middle of the end grain as you said, w/ my bowl gouge turned sideways, and the bottom below horizontal. That tool is a little large for a 3" box so I switched to my spindle gouge and used it the same way. You tend to have vibration as you get deeper though. Anyway, I had an awful time w/ my pieces (box & lid) turned around and slipped onto a jam chuck to eliminate the foot ! I cracked the lid in half, broke a box to pieces and split the replacement box. ALL TRYING TO CUT OFF THE FOOT !! I tried coming at it from the middle, sneaking up to the side and scraping it. I sharpened each tool, adjusted the jam depth, diameter and even made another jam out of harder wood. Nothing was working and I ended up sanding them down w/ a piece of 36g sanding belt. I assume it was my technique, but, ........... QUESTIONs : Do you have any other advice to share on the matter ? I mean, I don't see the difference between hollowing out the end grain on a box and cutting off the foot ? Except maybe the weaker mounting on a jam chuck. Will this always be a problem ? Again, will you please shed some more light on the matter ? Or anyone that might be reading this that can help ? Brian, I'm impressed at the level of knowledge, ability to explain and overall production quality in this video !!! Thank you so much for your generous consideration to, "we, the ignorant, trying to become informed" ............ or at least, "me, .........." !!! ;) :) :) Merry Christmas & A Very Happy New Year, Sincerely frustrated, Steph_Louisiana
