Testing KS BOWL GOUGE with lovely apple wood

[@JOHNSmith-pn6fj]

Thank you for showing how that new bowl gauge worked. Watching you it looks like a very nice tool.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for watching, the more I use it the more I appriciate that harder steel...nice tool .... 😀

[@STMwoodturning]

I like the handle on this gouge. Wish they were available in the USA. Nice looking bowl Tomas!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Handle is really nice...., hopefully one day it will be avaible but there is awsome gouges brand in USA.... thank you for watching 🤗

Great demonstration with the new gouge. The addition of Cobalt certainly adds to the hardness and the edge stays sharper longer. I find that my metal lathe tools with a 5% Cobalt addition makes a big difference, they cost a bit more but do a better job and last longer. That peeling cut certainly gets the wood shaped very quickly, when I get onto bowl making I will try this. Thank you for sharing this, it adds to get us newcomers on the right path.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, peeling cuts are great way to remove a lot of wood quickly..... Thank you for watching as always and support what I do 🤗

Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the new bowl gouge and giving me things to think about when handling a new gouge. And a beautiful bowl too! Thank you!

Thank you very much for watching 🤗

Very nice bowl with beautiful grain! 🇨🇱🤠

Very great explanation. Top Job my friend

Curious on why you removed Record Power sticker from your toolrest?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

The end of sticker peel off and curl of the foam backing, so I just remove all of it but the tape it self adhere quite good...

[@noelgreen9381]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning try using alcohol or acetone to remove the glue.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

@@noelgreen9381 thank you for suggestion.... My thought was once I rough turn some wet elm that is left I'll have to clean the lathe with WD-40 and it should get rid of it , hopefully.... If not aceton alcohol should do the trick☺️

That is a long piece of steel. I mostly use interchangeable handles, where I can so I have a bit more control over the length. Then, I also hold the tool very differently, right at the end. I'd rather support it under my forearm, but paralyzed hands means finding a different way, and it works for me. I like my Hosalunk 18" handle with OneWay double ended gouges. Lots of room for length adjustment. I have a question. With the asymmetric grind, did it take long to learn to make a clean entry push cut? With the constantly changing bevel, I imagine it's a different approach. Or, am I wrong, in that the bevel is the same angel but the wings are just different shapes? Thank you for your thoughts.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I've was looking a few months back on double ended gouge but something came up and didn't buy...nice gouges as well.... Asymetric grind can be a little tricky to start expecially on bigger tool like 16mm gouge as the tip is more rounded, on smaller one its not that big of issue.... Angel does change around a gouge , its steeper on side or wings then on the bevel tip....but after I learn myself how to sharpen it the best way that suits me then using it was accually a eaier chapter 🤗

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you for watching as always ☺️

[@jayscott306]

@Tomislav Tomasic Woodturning (Dodir Drva) That was very helpful. In a few weeks I'll be doing some reshaping of a gouge and a few inherited tools once I have them. I'll let you know how I do.

[@wantlessobject]

I could hear the difference with the hardness. The wood you usually use sounds much softer. That's a detail that hard to capture.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed it is.... Its much harder then cherry or walnut or pears which I use the most these days....but it handle those like a champ and it will be easier for me to have it on elm asymetric grind but wanna try out right from the box ☺️. Thank you for watching 🤗

[@whittysworkshop982]

HSSE, compared to normal HSS has Cobalt in it; like you said. This makes it much harder, gives it higher heat hardness and tempering resistance........ The only downside to the Cobalt alloy is that it can fracture easier if exposed to a sudden "shock", I think it'll also crack more easily if the hot tool is dipped into a coolant...... But we don't do that with wood turning tools. It works very well on a metal lathe and will perform much better and for longer than than normal HSS, it'll also take higher speeds and feeds than normal HSS. None of that really matters to us woodworkers, I'm jus kinda blabbering on coz I know a little about steels 😂 I kinda like the handle, the octagonal shape reminds me of old London pattern chisel handles; which are very comfortable. Being new to this, I woulda said that the longer steel was a good thing....... more life in it. But I didn't take into account that it changes your grip, which is probably a very personal thing. If you make a new handle for it record it for a video, I would like to see that 😁

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Whitty, I didn't know that about steel differents, never been focus on that so thank you for your feedback which will help others in this video as well....I might pin comment to be at the top of comments..... It does have long life in it and its really nice steel....better then anything else I have so far..... I'll figure something out for the handle ☺️ Thank you for watching as always ☺️

[@thefaulenzer677]

If you have a 13.5 mil drill, you can just wack the gouge out of the handle and drill it deep enough to fit in until the flute begins.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

@@thefaulenzer677 that is probably first thing I'll do.....

Glad you like the bowl gouge! I think the reason why the flute doesn't reach further down to the handle is to reduce vibrations, at least that's what another KZbinr said who supposedly was in contact with the team who designed the bowl. What I'm most impressed by (and also a bit sad about 🥲) is how you managed to not have any tool marks or "vibration marks" in that bowl. Today I turned a small bowl as well and although it wasn't even as thin as yours I had a ton of these "swirl tool marks" in it. In moments like that I get shown that I still have to improve a lot 🥹

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is correct on flute lenght, and I find that great but overall lenght of gouge out of the handle to be unusual as I'm not used to it.... But I think I'll either buy handle with collar or drill this one deeper or make new one and put this handle on other tool like spindle gouge which I use all the time beacuse the more I use handle its better ..... Those swirl marks can ne annoying but sometimes there is not escape from that or try to support the cut with your hand on outside.... That ussually helps a lot.....thank you for watching and comment and support what I do 🤗 all the best

[@0BAMiiN]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I'm sure you'll find a solution that fits your needs 🤗 All your other gouges are quite similar so the new one that is a bit different may need some time to get used to 🤗 I have tried to press the outside (as you have done it in other videos) and it turned out a little bit better but I'm not used to use the gouge with one hand only so the result still wasn't that good 😅 Maybe next time it will be better! Keep up the good work on your channel 🤗
