I finished watching all three videos of the handle, endmill and bowl and enjoyed all of it. Being 100% disabled vet and teaching other vets how to turn I will be making some tools that we need so much. Thanks

[@DeansWoodworking]

Arlin first and most of all Thank you for your service, and thanks for supporting your fellow vets.

[@arlineastman]

@@DeansWoodworking Thanks Dean I provide everything that is needed to turn and when they are ready to go out on their own I did provide mini lathes that were donated. It is costly to do that and when I can find a cheap way to make a tool I am all for that. I looked on Ebay and seen several I will buy when I get the funds

[@billk8579]

Nice series of videos. Will try to make one of these tools. Thanks for sharing.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Have fun!

[@BlueyPastle]

Bowl is awesome Dean! As for the tool, I was surprised at how well a ball mill would cut wood so well. This would never have crossed my mind. Thanks for showing us how well it worked and how to use it too. Keep on turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Bluey, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@keithedwards1038]

Looks good. You should sell those tools.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks

[@JiggsysShed]

Thanks for the demo Dean. The tool worked well and the bowl is stunning.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thank you, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@SiamWoodShop]

Great demo Dean, I guess the secret is finding the "sweet spot" with the tool. Thanks for sharing, stay safe, John

[@DeansWoodworking]

You are right this tool can be as aggressive as you want it to be just by turning it a little. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Another good one Dean. Thanks a bunch.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Doug and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@seemorevid1]

Dean, I made one of these 6 weeks or so shortly after watching your presentation. Life intervened, and I just today ( Jul 28) got to use it. Some observations. Rather than a bowl. I am working on an end grain vase, maybe 10 inches deep and 4 wide, probably not the best choice, since I have never done one of these. I have made lots of small lidded boxes and a few shallow end grain bowls by standard means, scrapers and gouges, but never a deep form. As you have mentioned, the tool can be VERY grabby. Initial attempts kept knocking the piece loose from the tenon, even with a steady rest in place. I found it was necessary to present the tool at a rather steep downward angle, as you would a scraper. If you mentioned that, I failed to note it when watching. Having done this, it cuts beautifully, maybe not as rapidly as I might have thought. It is generating typical small chips and dust like most end grain cuts. I am not sure how you got such nice "curlies" in your example. My wood is locust, cut and in my shop for about 3 years, so somewhat dry. Maybe your wood was pretty green? Anyway, If I ever finish this one, I will try a more typical bowl shape. Once again, thank you for your clear explanations and calm teaching approach. I enjoy your videos. Even tho I have more than 25 years as a woodturning hobbyist, I can almost always learn something new. At age 85, I can recommend learning new things to everyone!

[@DeansWoodworking]

Ron The reason I did the bowl is I wanted to see how it cut and let the viewers see as well. I did learn that you can control the cut by turning the handle clockwise more aggressive counter clockwise less aggressive. Have fun with it Thanks for Watching!!!

[@oatkeroder]

Thanks for the idea and guidance on this tool. Am about 60% finished with my attempt at it. Sure looked impressive while cutting. Can't wait to give it a try. I used to be a machinist and have several boxes of related tools. Will be revisiting them to see what can be turned into wood turning tools. Already used a drill blank to make a grooving and beading tool per Mike Peace. Thanks again and have a great new year.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@oatkeroder]

@@DeansWoodworking Finished my tool and can't believe how well it works. It will either hog or fine cut. I made the handle too long for my small lathe but this is easily rectified. Really glad I made the effort. Thanks again.

[@jameswallace7351]

I wish I could have seen you making that tool it looks amazing great job

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thank you here is a link to the video of making the tool. Thanks for watching!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/raiznaGrqM2AlZI

[@richj54]

Another great video Dean! As a novice, the mill bit scares me a little, but with a little experience under my belt, this tool will prove to be a powerful tool in my arsenaL Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to your next video. You've got a loyal follower.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Richard and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@mithliwoodsmithing5569]

I don't even do turning, but I keep coming back because it be so satisfying. Keep up the great work, and keep on adventuring. 🪚

[@DeansWoodworking]

Awesome! Thank you!, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@woodcreationwithMudita]

Nice work 👍👍 love it

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thank you so much 😀, and Thanks for Watching!!

[@daviddejong187]

I am going to make one of these tools!. Has this become your "go To" tool for hollowing? Thanks for sharing

[@DeansWoodworking]

yes it has, Make it you will love it. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@ivokolarik8290]

Cool 😎

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Interesting little tool there. Notice any decline in sharpness during the process? Sound was working for me with no issues.

[@DeansWoodworking]

This was the first time I used it so I did not really see a decline in sharpness, I am interested to see how long it last though. The nice thing is that the bit was only $7 and has 4 cutting edges so it should be fairly economical to use. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@ronnie100393]

That tool is amazing, I made one also , haven’t used it yet. Now that you have used it would you say you would continue to use it from the beginning or wait and use it the closer you got to the finish? I couldn’t believe the shaving coming off that tool? If you can bring that piece to the meeting Wednesday. It makes me want to go out to the shop to use that tool! Again great video very informative!!!

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Ronnie I was amazed at how well it cut, I think if I was just turning an end grain bowl and not demoing the tool I would probably use the bowl gouge a little more however It really did a great job.Where I think this tool will really shine is in small hollow forms. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Question: How do you sharpen the bit?

[@DeansWoodworking]

I guess you could sharpen it with a diamond stone however with four edges that you can use and eight dollars for the bit it’s pretty cheap to just use them and toss them

[@nelsonpalmer4831]

Dean / what method will you use to sharpen your endmile

[@timcook2312]

Dean, what is the tool and do you have a video on how to make it? Thanks

[@DeansWoodworking]

Tim here are the links Tool Handle kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJWphKuLesejfrM and here is the link to the tool kzbin.info/www/bejne/raiznaGrqM2AlZI Thanks for Watching!!!

[@timcook2312]

@@DeansWoodworking thanks Dean. Appreciate it!!!

[@peterstenabaugh3041]

Now that you have proven the tool, it would be good to upgrade the cutter to a solid carbide cutter. The high speed cutter is sharpenable but it's not worth the cost. The carbide will last you a long time.

[@DeansWoodworking]

That may work for some but its hard to justify the additional cost the one I use was about $7 and has 4 cutting edges. I have used it quiet a bit and have not gone to the second edge. however I am sure that you are correct and the carbide will stay sharp much longer. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@peterstenabaugh3041]

@@DeansWoodworking That's great, however I would also suggest that you only use a 2 flute cutter. The gullet is deeper on 2 flutes than on 4 flutes, so you'll be able to take a bit heavier cut. It's good that your cutter is lasting as long as you say. It's possible that the HSS ball nose cutter is made from a higher grade of steel than HSS lathe tools which would explain it's longevity.

[@DeansWoodworking]

It is a 2 flute with double end and I think you are right it sure seems to stay sharp a long time. I have not honed or anything.

[@alaricmedlock6833]

Am I the only one that the sound did not even almost match the Vid? .... and really wanted to see this one...

[@DeansWoodworking]

please everyone let me know if there is a problem with the sound It is fine on my end. Thanks Alaric.

[@Jim777ist]

@@DeansWoodworking The timing is way off of audio to video.

[@Jim777ist]

Dean, I watched a second time and the audio was synced fine. Don't know why that would happen, but it is fine now, maybe my internet?? Or did you change something on your end?

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Jim I did not change anything because I could not replicate the problem and others were telling me it was fine. Thanks for Watching!!
