[@fabiandempewolf2820]

One of the most educational videos for me. Thank you.

[@jimgeelan5949]

Tomislav yet another video full off very useful tips and techniques, the only thing do differently to how you teach things is I’m totally left handed. So on the outside of bowls its not so bad but i work standing on the other side of the lathe for the inside and i think that is even easier for left handers then right handers if that makes sense.

[@andreachinaglia5804]

Are you turning the inside on reversed rotation, the piece turning clockwise? I suppose it as turning standing on the other side and keeping the usual rotation makes you turn with the gouge way far from the body and overhanging above the lathe bed, not good for precision, control and fatigue. If so be aware that the forces involved can unscrew the chuck or what you use to connect the worked piece to the lathe, it is not safe unless you have some device that prevents it. Anyway to be totally left of right handed is not a problem, a right handed person learning to play the guitar at the beginning has to learn to do with the left one veri difficoult things like fingering a chord or playing a scale while the right one has a simpler task, strumming (off course when he progresses it changes as touch is more important then the speed of the hand on the neck), the very same is true turning, at the baginning switching hands is difficult, to use the "wrong " hand is way more difficult, but as we develop muscle memory we can achieve the same finesse and control with both hands, for a left handed turner the learning curve is a little longer and steaper at the beginning, it is true, but he has a compensation as for him will be easier to change the hands, to become ambidextrous at the lathe, thing that can be very useful in spindle turning and sometimes also in bowl turning, the learning curve of a right handed one will be steeper when he wants to become able to reverse hands at will, and some right handed turners never climb that step.

[@jimphilpott902]

I once attended a demo where the turner talked about a "catenary curve" which comes from mathematics and illustrated the concept with a piece of ceiling fan pull chain. She created a steep curve by holding the ends of the chain closer and a nice bowl curve by moving the ends farther apart. Our bowls should have a catenary curve, In your footed bowl the catenary passes through the tenon. In the mortise bowl there is not a catenary curve on the outside of the form. Great video. You are teaching valuable lessons for beginners and a good reminders for those further along the path.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Tom, very much 😀

[@robohippy]

As for which holds better, a recess or a tenon, I like to say that as long as they are made correctly, they both hold equally well. The biggest problem with the recess that beginners have is that they leave too small of a shoulder and/or over tightening. Design wise, I don't end up with a continuous curve to the bottom of my bowls. Oh, I use recess exclusively. I make a transition, and then a flatter bottom. I do make a point to tell students to stand out of the line of fire. Just safer.... Biggest difference I have seen in turning styles is that a lot of it is determined by you turning on a short bed lathe, which I do, or a long bed lathe, which is the Stuart Batty method. I did take a 3 day class with Stuart and Allen, and it took me a couple of years to figure out why he didn't do anything the way I do. I wasn't comfortable with his arms extended methods. I hold my tools mostly level, or with my scrapers, angled down a bit. Not sure if you have ever tried to burnish a burr on your NRSs. A much sharper and longer lasting burr than the grinder burr. I will usually use the grinder burr first, then when dull, I burnish it down and then back up. I have a small carbide rod to turn the burr.

[@jps3275]

Good to hear from you! You were one of my favorite turners on You Tube and I learned a lot from you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir , like you said ,most of stuff are personal preference like continious curve or flatter bottom,but that is beauty of turning. I do burnish the burr for scrapers,also I like to use first from the grinder,its a pitty to waste it and then burnish it....burr from burninsher is in my opinion much better but it can be a bit grabby for someone who don't have much expirience with scrapers, standard ones ...

[@brianhawes3115]

One thing I’ve noticed with your turning is how you stay in the cut, I find this very helpful for getting a really good finish. My first experience with the lathe I was turning way to slow, out of fear. Once a few bowls flew off and only minor injuries, i sped up and got great finish straight off the tool, so if your new to turning, speed up and stay in the cut😂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Well that is sometimes a solution as well😉 Thank you Bryan for watching and comment

Great tutorial. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing the tip about using the redline.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its awsome tip I have seen on Glenn Lucas and Kirk Dehear videos

[@andreachinaglia5804]

I think there is a big misunderstanding about push and pull cuts, it has nothing to do with the hand on the tool rest being in front of the gouge pulling it or behind it pushing it. What differentiates push and pull cut is the position of the bevel in relation to the cutting edge, if the bevel support is in front of the cutting edge relative to the direction you are traversing the gouge like at 24:19 in your video then it is a pull cut, the bevel support point "pulls" the cutting edge, if the edge is in front like at 24:11 is a push cut. Bot the cuts shown at 23:34 and 23:54 are pull cuts as the bevel is in front of the cutting edge, which hand is on the rest and the fact that the thumb is pushing or the other fingers squeezing and pulling is really important in relation of ergonomics, but does not affect the type of cut. Our personal preferences or particular situations like the tool rest restricting our movement freedom or choosing to turn both the inside and out of a bowl without reversing so are the headstock and chuck that restrict the movement can lead us to use completely different ways to achieve the same cutting edge presentation in relation to the wood and its bevel support. Some of us has trained to be ambidextrous at the lathe and can reverse the hands position, some others hate to do it and on and over, but it has to do only with the particular way that that particular turner uses to achieve a tool presentation in a particular situation, the definition of the cut type can not be dictated by it, but only by the presentation of the cutting edge in relation to the bevel and the wood, if that presentation is the same also the cut type is the same.

[@tonywatson5551]

[@richardwhisler5593]

Nicely done! When I started doing bowls, these chucks were not available. I had to use tenons with jam chucks. Lots of flying bowl blanks while learning to turn interior of bowls. I kept the rim parallel in case I had to reverse jam to remove scars from exterior of bowl due to crash landings. Usually interior was missing too much wood to return to screw chuck or faceplate when it went airborne. Then curve could be corrected when returning to interior curve. Ah, the good old days haha!

It is worth checking the cracks as the turning progresses as well. I had a nice chunk of wallnut hit my head the other day mid way through the shaping of the outside 😅 It looked not like a crack, more like a dark line going through the wood.. couldnt move it at all in the start, so i thought it is sound and continued work as usual… then at some point it “delaminated “. The chunk was about 15*10*5 cm crescent moon shape.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, it is worth, and should be mandatory, on this one I was 100% sure that is free of cracks 😉

[@PoisonShot20]

Your videos are always pleasant to watch and very informative. The switch posisition issue is a desapontment to me, I had my mind set on the Harvey T-40. But you made a exclent point, bad design, they could made a switch with cord that could be moved to a desired location, according to the user.

When I have looked back at my early bowls, I remember thinking “pretty good”. But then reality sets in and I see how wrong I was. I was able to re-cut and correct many because … yes, they were not that thin to begin with. Maybe I can get away with saying I had to rough cut them twice?

Again, a great instruction for me as a beginner, thanks so much. One question about negative rake scrapers like the one you used at the end of this video, i.e. with the same bevel angle on both sides: Do you leave a burr on the edge, or do you hone it to a sharp edge?

Thank you very much for watching and comment, scraper without burr is really doing more damage then anything else, I always make sure to have nice burr

With the speed of the blank I think it’s important to explain that the bigger the blank matters ie the middle moves slower the outside of the blank moves much faster,where normally you find the balance issue.Sorry don’t think I explained myself very well .

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

You are right, those can be issues and then we adjust speed accordingly

When you are cutting through the vibration, is that caused by the dimensional stress caused by the thinning of the wood, or due to distortion from the spinning of the work?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

From thinning but also as its thin the pressure we put on wall can cause vibration

[@DancingFox6]

I have finally overcome most tear out issues using gouges, but I still have the problem sometimes when I use scrapers, especially on the inside wall of bowls. Tell me please what is the turner doing wrong to get tear out? (I’ll be glad when your finishers are available 😊)

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Sometimes turners don't do anything wrong, sometimes its just wood. Look out for that negative 90 degrees and really light touch, you want to get airbour dust as with the sandpaper. You'll get shavings as well but getting a lot of dust can tell you that you have good burr and tehnique. Tiny bit of dust and no shavings means usually that its dull. Sorry for late response, hopefully this helps.... I'll do a video on this specific topic
