[@alanmullock381]

Great result Sam!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@glencrandall7051]

Another very nice piece from the shop of the WYOMING WOODTURNER. As usual you do nice work Sam. Of course you started with a nice piece of cherry. That never hurts. Thank you for sharing Sam. Always watching for your productions.

Sam, roughed out bowls are just positive inventory. As many times as I have see dc hoses and hoods set low as yours, it finally hit me seeing yours today. Yes, I need to dramatically lower mine for better results! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

It may take another old dog....

As always very nice end product- can't wait to see more in the series.

[@robertaltic3395]

So many hidden treasures!!! Beautiful grain, just love cherry. Best to all, Bob

[@davidmorgan7522]

I have a couple of your "unfinished business" items to be done yet! Just a heads up, you will most probably find unfinished business for quite a while! When helping pack I put things wherever there was a spot! LOL! Great character in that bowl. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave

Do you have a video with the bandsaw box, duck? I loved that.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Carol, I am not sure what you are referring to? Bandsaw box? Duck? It that in this video? Sam

[@gravelcouleewoodworking5049]

Good job! I love turning cherry

[@carolriley8472]

Lovely cherry...I could never wait 10 years to finish that bowl!

[@chuckbell2949]

Nice, your videos are always enjoyed, thanks!

[@mitchellmanning7887]

Thanks for sharing

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Beautiful bowl Sam. I love the shape. I think I have a doorbell that is quite similar to yours. 🤣 Also, if you have too many of those bowls ide be ,ore than happy to drive over and relieve you of some. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Napalmgas]

Hello 👋 sir, can you please provide me the link to order that Woodturning protective jacket that you wore in this video?

[@tomcoker9882]

Sam glad you found one of those elusive Round2Its and were able to finish that nice cherry bowl. Could you please tell what chuck and jaw sets you used. The first sort of small conical ones looked very useful. Thanks. Cheers, Tom

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

Gorgeous just absolutely gorgeous Sam

[@grampashorty8468]

Beautiful wood bowl!!! Good job. How about showing us your dust collection system and how you deal with cleaning it.

[@emmon308]

Sam - any good hardwood stores in Billings? not much in Bozeman. Superior Hardwoods in Missoula is pretty awesome!

[@thebears8955]

Hi Sam and thanks for another great video. I always learn something from your videos. Hoping you might be able to explain for me why you chose to use a spindle gouge to finish the rim and top inside of this bowl instead of a bowl gouge? Also how you knew it was okay to do that given the grain orientation on this small bowl? Thanks so much, Ted

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Ted That is a really good question. It tells me that you're thinking about when to use a particular tool or not. First, the spindle gouge can certainly be used on a bowl; and there are times when you might use a bowl gouge on a spindle turning. First of all there really is not a safety issue. Not like using a spindle roughing gouge on a cross-grain piece of wood. That's another story. I hope you understand that that can be very dangerous. I use the spindle gouge on the rim because it's a smaller tool and the profile allows me to do a little bit of contouring around the rim and the opening of the bowl. Another example, is I use a small bowl gouge on some of my smaller pieces because it is stiffer and does not vibrate as much. But I can still use it to detail the work. Hope this helps Sam

[@thebears8955]

That all makes good sense Sam. Thank you for the quick response. Great new shop by the way, well done. Ted

[@trurex007lee7]

Always enjoy the instructional videos you produce and consistent beauty and art. Curious, how long would it take you to do finish a bowl without the video production?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

That's a great question. There was a time when I would go out in my shop during the year and produce 150 or more pieces. But then I would have to sell them. I have reduced that number to maybe 50. The reason for this is the more stuff I make, the more stuff I have to sell. Now to your question. Making something while I am making a video does slow me down a bit, but not too much. I also do a lot of work off-camera. I do enjoy making videos. It is in its own right a creative process. And if the same time I get to make something but I usually do put up for sale. I appreciate the question. Thanks Sam

[@randysmith4344]

Sure would like to know the brand of that chuck and jaws! Thanks

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Randy Smith these are long nose jaws, sometimes called O’Donnell jaws. The chuck is a vicmark 120 Sam

[@kennethnuttle7251]

Sam, what are your thoughts on vacuum chucks and sanding paste.

[@wagWAGart]

great job thank you

[@cortlandhunt4721]

That’s a GG Bowl! Gorgeous Grain. 👍🇺🇸

[@stevenjobbins2600]

" its a dandy tool " thats gonna make me smile all weekend

[@MikeB0001]

Good Morning Sam. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@IlliniFireGamer]

I like the curve on this one Sam. Speaking of unfinished business, how about an update on the bradford pear bowl that you had rough turned.

[@ianfiddes9871]

Nice

[@westhetrainman]

Good information as always. What is the new blue box attached to your lathe do?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

The blue box is an electrical converter. When a lathe has a variable speed feature, it must have a converter. (I am not an electrical engineer so that's as far as I will go with that explanation ha ha). It has something to do with turning 110 power into three phase power. If anyone else reads this and knows more about it please add a comment. For anyone purchasing a lathe, I feel it very important to have a machine that will be variable speed and will also turn in reverse the option is to have a number of pulleys that you must change the belt to change the speed range. Anyway this converter is a really expensive part of A lathe, I know because I shorted one out and had to replace it. It was $800. Hope this gives you a little bit of info thanks Sam.

[@westhetrainman]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER thank you.

Hi Sam, Nice little bowl. Well done. George

[@dtork47]

Nice piece of cherry Sam, how is that Scout working out? All the best from Clancy MT

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I have been pleasantly surprised with the Scout lathe. I am not turning really large pieces every day-so I find myself going to this Scout more and more. It does have a 14 inch swing which is not enormous compared to my Powermatic or the sweet 16, But it offers a little bit more size for other pieces I turn. I had a student in here a week ago and this lady is about five feet 5 inches tall. I simply tilted the top-down a few notches which allowed her to return in a normal position. I have the lathe adjusted for my own height which is 6'3". So for this lady it was really way too tall. I think the Scout is a big step up from perhaps a jet midi lathe. And for anyone not turning really big stuff it's a great lathe. And I find the quality of these robust lathes is really the best I have ever seen in a would lathe. Sam

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

www.wyomingwoodturner.com/turningclasses-details.htm I just updated the page on my website for turning classes. Thought you might like to look that over. Sam

[@dtork47]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER Thanks for the update on the scout Sam. No doubt about the Robust line of lathe and there outstanding reputation and design. I will ck out your site updates, good luck with the classes and see you before Spring for sure. All the best....

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

@@dtork47 Thanks, Sam

[@Etiennemorinwoodturning]

That's a beautiful cherry bowl Maybe if you have 2 min check at my videos and tell me what i have to improve to reach more people it will be great

[@oldgeezer1746]

Duck Parts? Very interesting, can you build a better duck?
