How to Turn a Bowl on the Pole Lathe with Ben Orford (Part 5)

[@labrat7357]

G'day Ben, Another top video. What I particularly like is the way you explain how to make the cuts and maintain control of the tool. By the way in Australia we call a bowl with a hole in the bottom a funnel. (Ozi humor) All the best.

[@NWBushman]

Ben, you are SO talented. So is Lois with her leather work. Thank you for posting these.

[@pauladamson9191]

Thanks for making these videos Ben. Ive recently finished making my bowl lathe all out of Ash, and today turned my first bowl using your tools. Very enjoyable. Cheers :)

[@glennwilck5459]

[@glthomps3061]

Fascinating. I complained yesterday because my cheap lathe keeps tripping, then I see this. Soooo ashamed!!!!!! LOL wonderful Video. Thank you.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful work! You got a pretty nice surface!

[@alfonsozambrano9889]

Great craftsmanship I've made bowls in a regular wood lathe and its fun and ease but this really blows my mind congratulations you're a real artists I'm subscribing thank you

[@MM0SDK]

To me, this is something else. I'm not really any good with wood and haven't really had an interest in it, but I suppose the fact I watched the whole video and enjoyed it, just compliments it further. I've never seen a pole lathe before, so I was a bit bemused when i realised the wood was rotating, alternating back and forth...lol. Fascinating to watch.

[@fustratedfisher]

Very interesting, I have never seen that style of lathe. I think it's really a nice piece of equipment. I would love to build one and work it.Very nice job on the bowl great craftsmanship and your axe handling skills are top notch. Great job.Shane Aubuchon. Maine U .S .A

[@liamgadd1331]

Wow! great set of videos Ben, Really enjoyed this hopefully I get to see it in action in person. Would be great if you demo this at the 2014 bushcraft show. (I think you did 2013 but I wasn't there?) Looking forward to watching some more awesome videos! Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[@icespeckledhens]

Its a nice bowl and very well explained. There is one thing if you are going to use the off the shelf "Food Safe" product it is not suitable for liquids like porridge or soup, more for fruit bowls. OLive oil can go rancid. thanks

[@Hongqie]

Hi Ben,it's really turn out nicely,this is a "how to" video should be made,as these days i am rather cautious on clicking most garbage videos out there,thanks for sharing.

[@carpy1970]

Great series Ben. I've also seen a couple of your spoon carving demos and love your teaching style. Your voice is very well suited to teaching, very soothing almost :-).

[@roadrunner4404]

Great series. Very informative

[@ELINTERNAUTA-st8ks]

Muy talentoso su trabajo, le felicito.

[@etbassdon66]

Great Video. Thank You for sharing.

[@reidagambiarra]

Gosto de serviços em madeira, nunca pensei em tornear sem energia elétrica, mas o rapaz do vídeo, mostrou que é possível, parabéns. (meu inglês é péssimo, traduzido pelo tradutor do Google) Timber services like, never thought of turning without power, but the boy's video, showed that it is possible, congratulations. (My English is very bad, translated by Google translator)

[@jeremieasselin5453]

Good job buddy ! Nice work

[@creativewoodworker4300]

[@dopeydiesel]

Great vid Great Location Great Bowl but think i'll stick with me CL4

[@ConnerPlainLiving]

Thank you. I really enjoyed that.

[@bluezone4783]

Very helpful

[@Shubba2529]

You can get them from Amazon.com They're called Mora Woodcarving Hook Knives. Amazon offers a full curve and a half curve hook knife. The full curve knife is for doing tighter radius working, like a spoon and the more open half curve is for more open radius work like bowls.

[@oldman719]

Simply Amazing!

[@ErikAnderson1]

Nice hook tools!

[@blee4455]

Great vid, thank you for sharing

[@rimar2000]

Thanks, MASTER, for sharing this.

[@Thrillseeker666]

Great videos, thank you so much.

[@bluezone4783]

Thanks

[@BeSatori]

Who makes that carving hatchet you used to remove the knob on the bottom of the bowl? I'm having difficulty finding one in the States, but that is exactly what I'm looking for. Great videos always. Thanks.

[@kofimarc]

Impressive.

[@travisnelson2043]

I've heard that olive oil can go bad in there, and that walnut oil is a good alternative that is food safe

[@franklopes8515]

Porque que você torneando abaixo do centro da peça?

Cool..!

[@francoisandregreeff1123]

First time I ever saw a labottoming blade.

[@carpy1970]

It's a bottoming blade, i.e. for doing the bottom of the bowl.
