HOW TO TURN A BOWL __ Tutorial on how to use BOWL GOUGE on cross grain work.

[@dapperdave4952]

Came here for just a sip from Tomislav's knowledge fountain...what I received was a firehose full of wisdom, tips and a few tricks...now to apply the information and see what works for me. Two thumbs on on another great video Sir.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Extremely big thanks for lovely words sir.... Really appriciate that and to be able to help out

Boy, that “ruined edge” sure looked familiar! Thanks for posting this, there is hope for the future!

[@sculptureflame68]

Each time I watch this video, (numerous times) I continue to learn. You are the best on the web!

[@ianmoston3340]

Hi I found you a week or two ago and have the Richard Raffan books, I would like say you are a breath of fresh air, the way you put an in depth approach is easily understood. I cannot believe how much I’ve learned from you so much so that I have ordered my new Record Coronet herald and it has arrived today. I hope you keep posting for all who want to learn this wonderful skill. Regards Ian from Leeds West Yorkshire England.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Ian very much 🤗 enjoy your new lathe,its a nice lathe 🤗

[@aubydauby]

Man, you guys who have done this dozens of times make it look too easy! I need to get some beater gouges and just practice all day for a week

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That's a good plan as it all comes down to practice ☺️

[@christopherharrison6724]

You’re absolutely right it’s only the edge that does the cut as long as the secondary doesn’t get in the way it doesn’t matter.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, well Said, thank you for watching

[@Fishn69]

WOW, what a great video full of so much detail. thank you for all your inspiration you’re a great teacher. Someday I hope to be able to turn as well as you. Thanks again

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😊 Its just practice and time

[@abrodeck]

Hello Tomislav, I have learnt something from you again today. Even though I'm quite good at turning bowls, I always set the gauge incorrectly when scraping. I will do better from now on and hold the handle lower. The difference is really enormous. Thank you once again for your extremely instructive videos. You are not only an excellent turner but also a great teacher. Greetings Andreas

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Andreas, I'm glad to be able to help out ☺️

[@tedcarson2971]

I'm still making some mistakes ... but ...now I'm at least aware of what I did to cause the mistake . What a difference!!!!! Thanks very much for sharing your expertise in such a clear and caring fashion.

[@denisraulet]

Tomislav bonjour .Cette vidéo m'aide beaucoup car l'affutage et moi cela fait deux...De la matière ,j'en mange énormément et cela réduit considérablement la longueur des ma gouge...Je vais m'appliquer ce matin à essayer de réparer mes erreurs de débutant ,quitte à regarder plusieurs fois la vidéo afin d'arriver à quelque chose de correcte. Alors oui cela aide beaucoup car quand on débute on a besoin d'apprendre et d'être conseillé. Un grand merci Tomislav car vous pensez aux apprentis tourneur. La façon d'utiliser la gouge également...Je comprends pourquoi elle fiche le camp...je m'y prend très mal...Une très bonne année my friend.👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for kind words and support 🤗, I would advise to just practice and repete and you'll get better with each bowl.... Enjoy your time on the lathe

[@themetalcutter]

I’ve only just started to turn wood and it frightens the life out of me as I’ve had a few bad catches. Your videos are very informative and it’s beginning to make sense why the gouge has been catching, I’ve been going in at the wrong angle. Thanks for the videos, I’ve just subscribed and given you a thumbs up.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much and really appriciate the support....

[@Mondkuss_by_DS]

Timely video. Just what I needed after I totally destroyed a bowl blank over the last two days. Lotsa catches-tool marks-...so frustrated right now. 😤 Spot on on getting the bananas out of one's ears! Full attention is needed when woodworking-all five senses need to be on the work.

[@utubephil100]

Best video around on correctly using a bowl gouge - thanks for sharing !

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad you liked it 🤗

[@peteraustin958]

Thanks again for another great explanation of how the tools work. I also follow Glenn Teague who equally well explains how both conventional gouges and his range of carbides cut. He makes a clear distinction between cutting and scraping and claims that applied correctly his carbides cut rather than scrape. To my mind, your and Richard’s application of “scrapers “ is not as a scraper, rather as a flat cutter using the burr as the blade primarily cutting the remaining side grain. Incidentally, I also enjoyed an earlier video on card “scrapers” and made a few from an old saw. I sometimes use these to refine the outside of my bowls as a a fine shear cutter. I believe that you were planning a follow up card scraping video and look forward to viewing it when it comes. Thanks again.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Peter, I do have how to sharpen card scraper but there is a great video from William Ng on KZbin that shows that, excellent results

[@marcmakes1725]

I started shaping some of my bowl gouges in this manner and it has been a game changer for me! I've been wanting to do it for quite some time and I am just now getting enough confidence in trying this grind. You are correct Tomislav in saying it might not look so good but it performs for me. The difference is rather remarkable! Thanks again for the videos you make. between your channel and Richard's I am always learning something. Can't take it all in at once though gotta let it digest a little. Lol. Thanks again Tomislav and hope you enjoy your day.

I use a variety of tools, many of them I made myself, that I use more than I use a bowl gouge. But I rarely turn a uniform blank like the one in the video. When I need a special tool I just make what I need. However this is an excellent tutorial for using a gouge 👍👌

[@MP-ou7lb]

31:00 For me as a beginner it makes sense to ONLY use the push-cut. Why? Because I still need practice, so using the push-cut to rough-shape the bowl I can train the correct position of my feet, the right feed rate and holding of the tool. When i come to the finish cut, I re-sharpen my gouge and with the practice of the rough cuts just 2 minutes before I find it easier to accomplish the finishing pass. For a very experienced woodturner this surely is not neccessary anymore.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Nothing wrong going that route, that is the beauty of turning, so many ways of same results

[@MP-ou7lb]

In Minute 24:50 you describe how to apply the forces with your left hand. At the beginning (and sometimes still now) I struggle not to apply pressure. I have a suggestion for another video, focusing only on the force of the left hand: 1. Show the correct application of the push-cut again. Also do it with ONLY the right hand, if possible. This shows clearly, that the left hand theoretically is not needed. For fun I was thinking about hanging a weight with a string on the gauge to apply gravitational downward force and try to do the whole cut with only my right hand. ;-) 2. Show what happens if you apply pressure with your left hand to the wood (do it wrong). Make a full outside cut from base to rim. Show, how the bouncing gets worse and worse, the more you come to the rim of the bowl. Show the extreme bouncing with the camera close to the gouge tip, ideally in slow-motion. Put a black pen to the outside of the bowl. Stop the lathe to show the spirals that occured. 3. Show what to do, if the bouncing has startet (correction of a false start). My experience is, that you will nearly never get it under control when you try to restart the cut in the middle of the bowl. If the bevel ist riding on a bouncy surface, I never manage to make it better on the way up. The only successful ways for me (so far) was: a) start again at the very beginning, at the foot). b) take a scraper to remove the bounciness, then go back too the gouge. c) if I feel the boucing starting, I stop pushing forward completely and stay at the same spot for a few seconds to give the gouge time to get it round again, but this doesn't work very often and it leaves a visible line.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir for suggestion, I took your comment and will see what I can do about it.... Also some of the idea you proposed is shown by Stuart Batty, great teacher , so I'll try to do it the best I can... Thank you for watching

[@vtcrafter6626]

Struggling with tear out with heavily spalted maple. Prob because the wood is soft but I’ve tried everything and nothing get rid of it. Outside the bowl is very smooth

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Sometimes there is no other way then just cut it as best as you can and then use coarser grit. Sometimes cutting with oil you will use for finish will help out or some thin sealers can harden a bit those punky areas

[@vtcrafter6626]

Ty I will give that a try

Hi Tomislav, that was a interesting way that you corrected you tool sharpening. your definitely not afraid of the push cut...lol. the clock theory was helpful. I do not have a chuck for bowl turning yet. I believe you had the Record Power DM320 before which , is what I have now; do you know by chance the size of chuck for the DM320? I guess I should contact Record Power for advise. Thank you for the video. It got my interest now for bowl turning. Ken

Thank you very much Ken, mine was m33x3,5mm thread, I think its the standard on newer Record power lathes now

[@dakotamax2]

As you begin truing the outside edge of the workpiece, is there any guidance on the angle of the tool rest? I tend to think of this phase as a machining phase that may benefit by positioning the tool rest parallel to the surface you're trying to create.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I find to put it how its more comfortble for me, also to be able to be closer to wood as possible throughout the shaping... Hope it makes sense.... Also its good practice to have it paralel to way you move with gouge

[@pollyrobinson3877]

Brilliant explanations. Thank you.

[@pollyrobinson3877]

Came back to add this: I’ve struggled since beginning my woodturning to understand how to effectively use a bowl gouge. I have two, but have been exclusively using my EasyWood tools with the carbide tips. Results were good, but tons of tear-out. I watched your video, and the “open/closed” and numbering you demonstrated just CLICKED for me. I made a pretty awesome bowl after that, minimal tear-out! THANK YOU SO K”MUCH!!

[@robohippy]

I have never been able to get a good clean cut on the bottom of a bowl with a scraper. I am wondering now much difference your 45 degree bevel makes compared to my 65 degree bevel. Also, I probably should try that grind on my gouges. I only have the open V flutes from Thompson and D Way. I don't think I have any parabolic fluted gouges. Think it will work?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

It should work , as I did have few years ago from Record power V gouge, looks a bit different and it can be maybe different to blend straight V sides on continues curve on the asymetric grind.....

Great job explaining the techniques of using the bowl gouge. I have been following Richard for some time now and you can certainly see his expertise in your work. Would you mind telling me what course wheels you use on your grinder. And I’m assuming that you use a high speed grinder. Getting a grinder setup is my last obstacle to get started turning. Thanks.

Great tutorial tommi, really well explained and demonstrated. Thanks for your time in producing these videos, I know it takes you away from your production turning, however rest assured and many other turners very much like and appreciate what you’re doing. Great bowls as well.I’d like to refer my trainees to these videos if that’s ok can I use this video and show trainees. I don’t want to breech any copyrights though. Thanks tommi.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for watching and support what I do, sure not a problem showing video😀 as with this kind off stuff just give credit to the autor...

[@Monstrito59]

Do CBN wheels remove less metal than a standard white wheel that comes with a slow grinder?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I think they do, depends on the grit although cbn grits are sharper so they can take a lot of steel fast, again depends on the grit 😀

[@Monstrito59]

Thank you for your reply on that. I think 180 is what you and Richard use as well as a few other people I watch on KZbin and that seems to be good enough. Learning a lot through youtube and watching a lot of you guys out there that make it look a lot easier than it really is, but it's a fun learning process. Thanks again and stay warm.
