Outstandingly clear teacher who gives you all aspects of the cut, including body and wrist positions.

It's so helpful that you explain as you work. You make the orientation of the tools make sense, and it sticks in memory because it's repeated. The 3 camera angle system is so helpful, and your edits from angle to angle come right when I need them. I started turning on a spring pole lath and catches were almost no existent. The ABC's weren't as vital. I've been practicing using them and am having much better results. I think that I have been using the wings of my spindle gouge on some of my cuts and getting catches. This video and your sharpening video have helped so much. Thank you very much. I'll be watching.

There are quite a few helpful turning videos around, but yours are among the best, thank you. I'm a beginner, now have making a smooth cylinder with a skew going ok. Beads without skating - that's still hit and miss 😐 So I will be visiting this page now and then.

Years ago I bought a book on wood turning and was trying to follow their explanation of turning beads. The explanation, however lacked something (it couldn't have been me) and had me follow around the entire periphery of the bead with the inside radius of the gouge, rolling it as I went.. About the sixth time the gouge was ripped out of my hands, I gave up on the book. Afterwards I just went with whatever tool seemed right at the time and pecked away at the corners and then sanded to suit. Never progressed much beyond that before my back gave out on me and today leaves me unable to stand for more than two minutes at a time. But your elementary explanation now tells me where the fault lay and how it should be done. Thanks for sharing your time, knowledge and skill. I for one am enriched by it and may yet be able to pass it on to my grandsons. Have a wonderful Christmas season,. Greetings from New Hampshire.

Excellent! I am a brand new turner. Never touched a lathe until a few weeks ago. I need someone who assumes I know nothing and builds me up from that. This video does that, or at least it begins that process. I look forward to spending time watching your videos and learning how to turn. Anchor, Bevel, Cut, got it.

Kirk, then for this video. Nice job. I was entering the wood in a vertical position and resulting in a catch. I forgot about riding the bevel. Thanks for the video and the reminder for starting the bevel. It is scary but the right gauge. I am a 10 year woodworker and always had problems on the lathe. Now I can work and practice for the the gouges. What angle do you grind you spindle gouges? Do you grind the wings at the sane angle and what is it? Jim Johnson

Great beginner video, but one comment... I always stand to the side as I power on for the first time. I understand you have the ability to spin up from 0 RPM, but most do not, so standing to the side will ensure you don't eat your wood should something not go as planned.
@mikejohnson55281 Жыл бұрын
CRITIQUE: 2 camera anglea the one on the right should be raised slightly and the overhead zoomed in to spindle to spindle canted towards you to show your hands. The view of you from 15ft away does nothing to show what you're doing. Except for when you're talking directly to the camera. Good instructions I'll keep watching and learning.

It would be nice if you gave chisels that are worth buying with a division into what and what. I have been to the site but a lot of things are missing from the chisel sharpening wheels and for example why can't you buy the Mylands Friction Polish 8 oz. and send it to Poland by plane?

Larger roughing gouges allow for rapid stock removal and having a larger cutting surface gives you more time between sharpening.

Well done. But how does one figure out RPM's on a lathe with no dial? I am new to turning and I have a lathe which has three tracks on which I can place the drive belt but I have no idea the RPM's for each. I typically use the middle one because it "seems" like a good speed. Anybody have any advice? Thanks.

The formula is confusing. It made literally no sense the way it was explained. “ width of wood x rpms of lathe = 8000”. Then what you said is so he have 2000? Could anyone explain this further?
@michaelyork31989 ай бұрын
Your grand total should be between 6000-9000. So if you have a 10 in wide round peice of wood. To get the total to be 6000 to 9000 would be 600-900. (10x600 up to 10x900) therefore you want to turn a 10 in peice at 600-900 rpm. Turning a 10 inch peice at 1000 rpm. That total is 10,000 and 1000 rpm is turned to fast for the peice. The size of peice times the rpm it is spinning at should total 6000-9000. The 6000 to 9000 doesn't change. Just the speed the peice turns and the size of the peice changes. So 3 inch peice should be turned around 2000-3000 rpm. Anything between 2000 and 3000 would be perfect. 3x2000 =6000, 3x3000=9000. So if you wanted to turn the 3in at 2500 rpm. That's 7500 which is between 6000-9000. That speed would be perfect as well

This is so confusing im learning this in 5th grade and it makes no sense so 0/10 sorry for giving a bad review i don’t like giving bad reviews but i have to because kids my age will not understand and they will fail school and that is sad because those kids will not get a good job or have a life because they will work at McDonalds for their whole life and McDonalds will not pay them enough so they will get evicted from their house and they will not have an house and will live on the streets for the rest of their lives. I do not want this to happen to kids my age because they have dream jobs they would like to attend such as an astronaut, biologist, video game maker, and a programmer. Kids look up to the teachers to teach them information they will need in life. This is very sad and this is why i had to give this video a 0/10. So sorry but the kids will not understand.
