Quick release Knob for Woodturning Tool handles with Sam Angelo

[@Paul-tm7ny]

Thanks Sam. Been following you from Quebec for 3 years. I just love everything you teach us. Paul

Thanks for the video

[@TravisPagel]

Great video! Subscribed

[@edwinleach7401]

Thanks for the very informative video. Like the backdrop pictures.

Though a bit pricey, I prefer the Robust collet system. I never even considered putting a non-round tool in a collet. I have one of Cindy Drozda's adapters on my Thompson skew so it drops into a collet. Love your videos

[@tomcoker9882]

The Robust collet handles, or the collet ends to make your own handles, are both excellent and make changing tools easy, or to take them out to make sharpening easier. Thanks for the video. Cheers, Tom

Another good one Sam thanks

Whoops! Your Oregon viewers are going to be surprised to find that Albany moved from the valley on I-5 out to Highway 101 on the coast! I believe the harbor shot is of Newport, OR. Guessing you visited out there when you presented at the Oregon Symposium in Albany. Nice show and tell of the reversible tools and handles.

[@jeffyamanaka3164]

That is Newport. Just a few miles from my house.

As always thanks for the info

[@yousuflootah]

Hi Sam. You should try out Johannes Michelsen handles. I have a collection of many handles and the most comfortable I found were the Hannes handles bar non! Although they’re not quick release or use ERs they are superb. Just mentioning it as I never saw you use one in your videos.

[@RatedRWoodturning]

I always have thought about putting a 3 jaw jacobs chuck in a handle

[@georgebrill3072]

Good job, Sam. What does the yellow paint on your tools mean? Thanks.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

The yellow indicates a spindle gouge. I have my tools color coded for students who take a class from me. I have a chart on the wall with a list of tools and their particular color. Sam

[@georgebrill3072]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks. I really enjoy watching your videos

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Did you ever have one come loose while turning? I think it's faster and easier to just pick up a different tool than mess with unscrewing and screwing. That's not considering the extra cost. All of us only use three or four tools anyway. I have my go-to tools as I am sure you do. I also have tools that I haven't used in years, I bet you do too. Take care, Larry

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Thanks Sam

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER You didn't answer the question. Larry

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

​@@TheWoodWhirler Yea, "did one ever come loose?" Yes they do loosen up a bit once in a while. Not a big deal. But usually that is my fault for just not tightening them enough. I do use many different tools. I did watch your video on the Honey locust bowl. I saw you use two different scrapers. I think I could turn an entire bowl with ONE 5/8" bowl gouge. But I do spindle turnings, boxes, cast resins, hollow forms, thread chasing. (and I could go on....) So I have many tools and I do use them. So having a way to change tool steel is really important for me. It is not a luxury but an approach to make turing more efficient. I don't have to have more handles than I need. I don't agree that "All of use only use 3 or 4 tools. anyway." I have 2 or 3 styles of beading and parting tools, different size bowl gouges, different size spindle gouges and yes I have many different scrapers-both traditional and negative rake' But i always start by cutting NOT scraping, then finish up with a scraper with a good burr on the edge which allows the tool to cut. I hope this clears things up. Sam

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks Sam, I really only wanted to know if when they loosened did it cause a problem. I did not mean to start an argument or debate. I have over the years seen tons of your videos and learned a lot. For that, I thank and respect you. I'm sure you could have turned that honey locust bowl with a gouge, so could I. However, given the hardness of honey locust, you would have had to sharpen between 3 to 5 times. Thus is why I use carbides, I sharpen none. It would or could have taken you overall twice as long with the same end result, which is the objective is it not? Scraping is again a matter of opinion, my beaver is a scraper, no doubt. However, when I switch to a square or round cutter I use it at a 45- degree angle which is in fact, cutting or slicing. Using it horizontally is scraping. Actually using a cutter in my manner is more difficult to master than a gouge. I use a gouge occasionally, I just don't see a reason to. I get quicker and as good results my way, but that is my preference. It is not for everyone, I respect that. I use several different tools also, however for a single project I generally only use 2 or 3 tools as I am sure you do. To me, it's all about the end product, how one gets there is up to the turner. One way is no better or worse than the other. I put down no one for their method even when I disagree. Enjoyed it, take care, Larry

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Hi Sam - Good ideas! Can you tell me where I can buy collet chucks that I can use when making my own wooden tool handles? thanks - Dennis

[@jzkartchner]

What problems would arise from putting the knob on top?

[@Tophat63]

On the second pic of your tools, is that a magnet your using to prop the tool against ? If so, where did you get it?

[@kensherwin4544]

I got several at Harbor Freight as give-aways with any purchase.

[@bobbyfowler7319]

Thanks, was looking at a d-way box master tool and was wondering about the quick release knobs. It looks like you only use one. The colic release set up, can you purchase that and make your own handle?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Yes you can use the Robust Collet connector. There is a link to it in the description. Sam

[@johnellis7095]

When explaining the “Deway” tools instead of the knob at the side, put in an Alan screw so nothing sticks out

[@lastrick08]

Soooo...you're the Wyoming Wood Turner...but you're from Montana?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Yea, long story.....short version is I moved here last June. But my KZbin channel is Wyomingwoodturner. I just can't change the name of the channel. Sam

[@lastrick08]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Montana is gorgeous. We travel a lot and stay just west of Billings in an RV park in Reed Point along the Yellowstone River. Really like your channel. Been following for years.
