HOW THIN WOULD YOU DARE TO GO???

[@jayscott306]

Beautifully explained and demonstrated sheer scrape, Tomislav. You understood every challenge I explained that I face in turning. I didn't realize tilting the edge prevented the self feeding. I will try it first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you very much for addressing my concern. I'll go watch the rest of your video now. 😊

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that Jay and hopefully you had a good morning trying this☺️

[@davidharvey4803]

You are absolutely the best teacher. I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you from North Alabama USA.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@billhutfles3224]

I really like watching you. If I see it enough times, it may become habit. This is an incredible video. It is the best demonstration of how to turn a bowl. Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀

[@johnwolf5288]

Tomislav, I have not heard you brag. OK, I'll do it. You and the best teacher of turning on the web. I don't think that will bring you fame and fortune, but I hope it does because you deserve it. Great video. Love the 4 - way series.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you John for such a kind words, I still have a lot to improve on how to pass on what I know but I'll get there. Thank you for watching and support what we do ☺️

[@randyrockwell6136]

Tomislov…. Your skills at the lathe are so impressive! Your description of what, how and why you are doing things is so easy to understand. Now if I can just put all the knowledge you have shared into my turning 🤠🇨🇱

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Randy, really appriciate that sir 😉

[@ianbedwell4871]

I do so enjoy watching you and the others on these 4 way projects. I have done things bowls and had fun seeing what shape they finish at but you take things past what I have been brave enough to do. I think I need to get myself a good scraper. Thanks for sharing

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir 😀

[@tonyturnswood]

Great Video, I have done this for a contest... sawing it in half was so sad! I made wall sconces out of the two halves... Really appreciate you and all you do for us Tomislav! Thank you so much!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank You for watching and support what we do ☺️

[@jorisdemoel3821]

A marvelous show of tool handling and skill. Hope the bowl saving problems get resolved soon. I do like to see how the four of you do things just a little differently. It was a lovely bowl and though it made for a fine demonstration model, the whole thing would have graced any room. Thanks for another fine video.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Joris

[@johnnyb95678]

[@baconsoda]

That's very impressive. I found myself holding my breath when you were doing the final cutting. I am definitely going to try this on a smaller blank. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@edeyden1326]

Wood is so amazing! Cut it, turn it, shape it and it stays together. That is crazy thin. Being somewhat green gives it flexibility. Great job Tomislav. I admire your work!

[@niklar55]

Very brave! I watched a video some years ago, where the man turned a really thin form, and then used it as a lampshade! It looked great! .

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Usually thin bowls end up like lamp shades😄😀

[@glencrandall7051]

Very well done but not very practical. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 Another great four way challenge. You four guys always do something interesting. Yours this month is no exception. Entertaining, educational, enjoyable.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@MarklTucson]

Very impressive Tomislav! After seeing the 2 halves I'm not sure that you could tell it wasn't all perfect without cutting it. Great job and very informative tutorial! Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Dave very much

[@scottstubberud1137]

Simply incredible!! I must try! I’m glad to see that you were able to do more thinning after reversing it, because in my mind I felt that would be more comfortable controlling a shear scrape on the exterior vs the bowl gouge inside, at my skill level. Beautiful work and even better tutorial on a great subject! Thanks again for another classic video!!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Scott, really appriciate your words of support 🤗

[@PhilStevensphilongold]

Hi Tomislav - I have really tried to get the Sorby Slicer like the one you are using in this clip - BUT they have been discontinued years ago - so I guess non to be had. What else could I use please? Phil (in South West England)

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great bowl. I was hoping the whole time you wouldn’t cut it in half. But you did and I do understand why. Great turning.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Doug, sometimes we learn a lot like I have in this case by cutting it in half....🤗

[@PhilStevensphilongold]

Maybe not perfect as you would like it Tomi - but still VERY good - thinner than Richards bowl I think - good job! Phil

[@michaelkuhn5224]

not too bad…. aha.. not too bad??? you are a maniac.. genious for me! Thanks for the lessin!

[@DacaTimberworks.]

Awesome video! Explains alot, I've tried a thin bowl recently but didn't leave mass in the lower portions and got alot of chatter marks. This gave me alot to think about for the next one.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to help out ☺️ thank you for watching

[@brummiedoug1]

Brilliant video Tomislav .l had my heart in my mouth every time you made the bowl thinner ,I thought to myself any time now it’s all going to go pear shaped .But you do know what you’re doing and I don’t lol. Keep the videos coming please ,there so good to watch and I have learnt a lot from looking at them .take care

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, really appriciate your kind words 🤗

[@kenvasko2285]

I like the idea of ending on the outside. I've done that myself. Never on a 2 mm bowl. I don't have the nerve to try it.

[@nickkempthorne9452]

Oh my goodness. That's a seriously thin bowl!! In my opinion you definitely won this challenge, even high i know it's not a competition. I have never seen wood wobble like that before, incredible. I think the thinnest I've managed is about 3mm and that was only because i had a catch when scraping the inside and had to turn away the evidence of the catch. My heart was in my mouth for that one.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Nick, really appriciate that ☺️

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Wow that was a really great instructional video tommi. Nice thin bowl, I was wondering what you were going to do with the 2 halves and now understand why you didn’t have a conventional foot on bowl. Really different approach from Richard , it worked so well for you too. Why didn’t you move your tool rest inside the bowl to assist in getting to the bottom more easily? Thanks for sharing.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Greg☺️ Tool rest position is ok ,but the bevel I have on my gouges usually hit the rim on this deep slighty closed form....

[@SpunbyGreenJeans]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@wrecks2007]

Wonderful and informative demo. Thanks for sharing. QUESTION: Do you have video demonstrating and explaining how you get a finish cut with scrapers? Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir, I have several videos in the past few months on tools finish and how to get best possible surface using scrapers.... Just swipe through the video list😉

[@jackthompson5092]

Great lesson Tomislav.

[@jeanlong4285]

Great at making a very thin bowl. It looked like you had a round bottom. The other guys made a usable bowl. Of course Sam cut his in half like you did. Congratulations on the thin bowl.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, round bottom bowls are sometimes even more usable due if done properly they are hard to tip over... I'll do a video on this as well... Thank you for watching 🤗

[@mandyray23]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Very well explained. Thank you.

[@dicerolla325]

You can make a shim for the post, just whatever extra space is left in the banjo, fill with a pipe, and then cut a slot in the pipe and your set.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I could,yes but my McNaughton is already old one and beat up so I'll get something new, and in time I'll get brand new McNaughton but with 30mm post.... thanks for suggestion and watching 😀

[@dicerolla325]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning this video is what del Stubbs invented sheer scraping for, it's easy to 1 hand the tool for interiors and steady the bowls outside, I've gotten a .25mm wall before this way. It was neat to see how you turned the bottom on this. My mcnghouton is used I've had to bend all the shanks back into shape to get them to cut, if they are tipped down they just grab. It's strange all the videos you've posted lately are things I recently tried, like your burnisher in the lathe. Today I made a 4th successful under 2mm walled hollow form Great video though really finessed this one man

Hello, thank you for all of the great info. I see that you turn very fast, my Powermatic shakes over 600-800. How heavy is your lathe?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Around 330 kgs, that would be Around 700lbs. And its bolted down to concrete. If you turn odd shape pieces or disbalance pieces then lathe would shake a lot.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No worries, I do the same 😅 Pretty much the same stuff, different name.... Shear cut is the name beacuse of the shear angle of approch when you position gouge to do finish cut.... Push cut its sort of the way you manipulate the tool, you can also use pull cut or draw cut... Different names for different cuts
