Shop Talk, Best grind angle for a bowl gouge. By Dean's Woodworking

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

While I may not have many questions, I think the hobby as a whole would benefit greatly from having someone like you do a regular "shop talk" series.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@Susanjilek1953]

Dean, I like the idea. Sometimes you don’t know what question to ask so hearing questions answered that other folks have asked is a great learning tool.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Good point! Thanks for Watching!!

[@jaypilling7073]

Hi Dean, I which you could tell and show new turners about the danger that can happen when using cloth rags with a wood lathe. Rags are great for polishing the car, but Never used to apply a finish. I have sent this advice to You-tubers, using rags, and have been told it's okay. That's my feed back for tonight

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Jay good point and one I will include in an upcoming shop talk on safty. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@nvskywalker651]

I like the idea of a shop talk series where everyone can ask their questions and we can all benefit from the answers.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Tim, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@robertvanzella7106]

Shop talk video would be great. Especially on sharpening. Thumbs up with the videos. I'm a visual person so I learn more by watching a bowl being turned.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Robert, Sharpening Videos on the way.

[@curtparrott3590]

Hi Dean. I think shop talks are always beneficial. I say go for it. I know I'll be watching. Thank you.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Curt!

[@toddkugler8194]

Hey Dean, shop talk is always good. We all have questions that a lot times don’t get covered. Thanks.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Very true! Hopefully this will help cover those unanswered questions. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@elizabethwright1964]

I would love more shop talk videos. I’m new at turning and you’re videos are a great resource for me. Thank you!

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Elizabeth, and Thanks for Watching!!

[@jasonmontgomery8180]

I like the Shop Talk videos. I always learn something new from your videos.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glad you like them, Thanks for Watching!!

[@bradbyers7505]

I think a shop talk video is a good idea. Whenever I’ve asked you a question I’ve wondered if others have asked it before me. Always enjoy your channel.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Brad!

[@glencrandall7051]

Before I read the comments posted up to now I would agree with the shop talk concept. I see that virtually every comment prior to mine thinks the same. What I am not sure about is if this will become a shop talk only channel. I would not be in favor of that. I would like to see a 75/25 mix of turning projects to shop talk. Maybe 50/50. But I get many ideas from the projects you turn so I would not like to see turning projects go away. 🙂🙂🙂

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glen, no worries I will always do the turning videos. This will just be in addition to the turning videos, not a replacement. Thanks for helping to make that clear.

[@billmiller5924]

Count me in for shop talk videos - I always enjoy & learn from all of your videos - thanks , Bill M

[@DeansWoodworking]

Will do Bill, Thanks for Watching!!

[@kirkcarrington4463]

I have a one way like yours and I am all for the shop talk videos..

[@DeansWoodworking]

That is awesome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@victorprimack2070]

Dean First I enjoy your attitude and depth of knowledge. I watch Woodturning videos to learn and I think it helps a lot. I think the shop talk idea is great. I would like to learn more about alternative methods of adding a glue on tenon. Thanks for your efforts and dedication to expanding our wonderful hobby. Vic Primack

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks for the feedback Vic, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@samdelozier637]

Shop talk- good idea-try it !

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Sam! 👍

[@SiamWoodShop]

Great video Dean, lots of good info especially on gouge grinds. Shop talk would be a great idea. Stay safe, John

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, will do!

[@rogerkent8588]

I like the idea of a shop talk video. I’m a turner with less experience thus I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have a 55 degree grind on my gouges

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for watching!

[@ReidLangford]

Good idea on the shop talk videos Dean, we all need help from time to time. I appreciate what you are doing with this channel, I thoroughly enjoy your videos! 😀

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks 👍

[@pjseiber2774]

Great idea, you always have so good info. Thanks for sharing

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@rayswann9080]

Hello Dean - like your idea of a shop talk series. Even if you are a long term turner there is always a little something that you dont know and could ask. If you do i will be tuning in.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@richardcollins8130]

I like the idea of a shop talk video. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I'm 77 years old and just now taking up turning as a hobby. Any help is appreciated.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glad to help Richard, Thanks for Watching!!

[@jeffs5093]

i like the idea on the shop talk series

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Jeff!!

[@OregonOldTimer]

I like the idea of shop talk in the format you propose rather than live. I don't watch live videos. They stretch ten minutes of information into an hour or more, and I'm too old to be wasting time.

[@DeansWoodworking]

I do understand. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@harrylogan9778]

Great idea Dean, I enjoy all your videos as I am a new turner and any help is appreciated

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glad to help Harry, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@dt.woodcreations2064]

Great idea. I am a newbie and watch many videos from different turners and one thing I find in common with many is that they assume I know more than I do. I have a lot to learn and many questions.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Ask and I will do my best to answer, Thanks for watching!

[@theonecalledstein]

I like the shop talk idea. I'm still learning and the nearest club is over an hour away. Bought a wonky 4x4 at half price to practice on.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Good stuff! but remember wood grows on trees for practice just use a limb and it cost you nothing. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@donaldosborn1892]

Good idea

[@DeansWoodworking]

Many many thanks!

[@riff0979]

Great idea love your videos,sharpening your tools until you like how they work best for you is the best advice . Your videos will save a lot of trial and error.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Larry!

[@jackdurning8637]

More shop talk videos are good

[@DeansWoodworking]

More to come!

[@franwilson2097]

Hi Dean, good job on talk,I agree that when I started I was trying to copy some of the grinds,but in the end I just got used to where my grinds were and ,like you said,it works for me for me,good talk bud, take care and be well

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, and Thanks for watching!

[@bryanholden6487]

Good info. Thank you!

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Good stuff, Dean.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@edeldridge8478]

Hi Dean, shop talk sounds like a good idea. Do you have a format in mind? Are you thinking of live stream or s video with question and then users read comments below? Live streams are great for interaction but tie people down to an episode time. Many times I never get a chance to catch a live stream event. Scheduling conflicts seem to pop up often even when the event is purchased through the AAW site. But I really like the idea and am looking forward to catching the videos segments. You have a good method of explaining things as you turn a project. And we all have questions about our craft that never seem to get answered. Maybe writing down questions as they pop up in the shop and emailing them in would be one method. Just some random thoughts, IMHO.

[@DeansWoodworking]

I am not planning to do any streaming at this time maybe in the future. The questions will be from comments and emails that I get from viewers. Thanks for Watching

[@roncole8434]

I'm just starting but I like your style. keep on going.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks, will do!

[@darylzorn7037]

I like the idea

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Daryl!

[@ivangovaerts544]

Great idea Dean, love your videos I have seen them all in a few days. I have a subject that i, as a beginner, do not know much about. The different ways of finishing. When to use the right one, the fastest ways, the most durable ways, how to apply them, the effect , etc... I understand that there may be other products available in the us than in Europe, but a lot of them are available ore at least something simular. Maybe it is not possible to give all the info in one video or talk, but already a part can come in handy.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Ivan, I can remember being in the same situation not knowing what to use. I will address that in an upcoming video. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@jackthompson5092]

Shop talk is always interesting and I always watch them Dean. I am looking for ways that I can keep my chuck on the lathe when reverse turning. I have grub screws for my chuck but they leave slight damage on the spindle threads so I need a better way.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Jack hopefully someone else can pitch in but the grub screws are what I use but on my lathe they land behind the threads and not on them. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@jackwebb8749]

I like the idea of answering questions posed by viewers. I like the project videos too, but the main reason I look at videos is to learn techniques and to use them on projects.. I'm planning to make the drill handle soon that I saw on your channel. Here's my question, I've been turning for almost 2 years, just a little at a time, I've made several bowls, some pill boxes, goblets and mallets and my lathe tool collection has grown. I have a set of bowl gouges that I ground a swept back grind on all of them. How helpful would it be for me to have one or more additional bowl gouges ground to a different bevel? Same question for spindle gouges. Thanks, I enjoy the channel.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Jack as long as you are able to do what you want I don't know that it would help much. I have way more tools than anyone needs ( a lot of them came in bulk purchases) so I have several grinds and I almost always go to the same tools. Thanks for Watching!!

[@davecoleman734]

Hey Dean, I think its a great idea. Just started turning in the last month and need help with using the skew. Thanks mate

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks Dave, here is video that may help you with the skew. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ6QfmObZ5maoqM

[@jamesmaxwell8989]

I think it's a great idea for a shop talk series. I'm just starting out with a harbor freight mini lathe and tools, free handing the grinds. I would like to know if you can get consistant grinds freehand? I am turning for craft fairs this summer to improve my tool collection. thank you for what you do.

[@DeansWoodworking]

you can free hand grind and get great results it just takes time and practice. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@benpress8884]

I'd like to see how to grind lathe tools without fancy and expensive jigs, if that's possible. Thanks Dean.

[@DeansWoodworking]

I have some sharpening videos in the works and we will discuss this topic. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@waltlumley7379]

Shop talk sounds great. I am 78 starting turning for the first time last yr. Would like info on turning kd lumber into blanks. Operating a chain saw now is problematic

[@DeansWoodworking]

Great tip Walt, thanks for the suggestion, and Thanks for Watching!!!

[@eldenwelchman6054]

I like the idea of shop talk I watch videos so I Can learn I've been doing it for a little over two years like to understand the why is and why not on everything from start to finish why you use different kinds of wood four different projects different finishes I don't remember who I found out the difference between spindle gouge and bowl gouge I just want to be safe and create new things and and make them look good thank you every thing

[@trurex007lee7]

Great idea for “Shoppe Talk”. QQQ: You just mentioned the various angles and grinds on your gouges, how do you consistently grind them? I’m ‘lazy’ and frugal like most people and once I’ve set my wolverine jig up for my “perfect” 55 degree grind I hate to lose that setting since no matter how precisely I position the setting on the jig and the length of the holder, I always take off more steel. I made a DIY positioning jig to set the length of the holder from the grinding wheel too. Will taking a little “extra” off each time you have to reset it up expected? Therefore, it is hard for me to imagine having to reset and use various grinds on different gouges, especially if I would need to grind different gouges on the same bowl I’m turning. Any help/advice is helpful. Maybe just “suck it up buttercup” that’s normal.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Thanks I will cover this on the next shop talk and how I overcame this issue. Thanks for Watching!!

[@barbararoberts3555]

good idea

[@DeansWoodworking]

Many many thanks
