How to Sharpen and Use Bowl Gouges | Woodturning Essentials

[@tomjpt]

Good morning Ernie. There are many talented woodturners here on KZbin. There are a much smaller number of talented presenters. And both talents together in the same person? Wow! Not many of those. You do such a nice job of explaining the jargon that gets thrown around so freely. Your demonstration on the sharpening is great and I will be able to (at least try) make these grinds on my gouges because of your help. SOOOOOOOO important to include the demonstration of how the various grinds actually work while turning. FIRST CLASS RIBBON! GRADE A+! Thank you very much.

[@JakeCharlson]

I think this is probably the most helpful video I've seen on the differences in bowl gouge grinds and how to achieve them. Thank you very much!

Thank you Sir, regards from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Europe

[@alanmiller4012]

Ernie, I was with you at the LAWA event this morning. You told us about this video and I just watched it. This was some very good material. That you for the workshop this morning and for this video.

[@sculptureflame68]

Great job in clearing some of the grinding fog.

[@ShevillMathers]

Thank you, Your demonstrations have cleared up many finer details that are missing in many other demonstrations I have watched. My kind Regards to you from Tasmania, the island gem ‘down under’. Stay safe.

[@Antonsartor]

Wonderfully clear explanation, without magic.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Thanks Ernie. I haven't even bought a lathe yet and I still enjoy every one of your videos. It is almost like meditation to me, listening to you describe how you do things. No music, except the music of the wood shavings being formed by the tool in your hands. Please take care of yourself and keep showing us the love you have for wood turning.

[@jimspencer1077]

Thank you so much very wonderful information

[@SparkeyDogfish]

That was one of the best explanations of how the various grinds actually cut. Thanks!

[@nobodyshome8726]

Very helpful information on how to grind each of the ways to sharpen a bowl gouge!! Thank you sir I really appreciate it.

[@petermarsh4993]

Thanks Ernie, your presentation went a long way to demystify the differences, purpose and methods with these two gouges. Cheers.

[@tompalmer334]

One of the best explanations I have seen of bowl gouge sharpening thanks for sharing with us U tube watchers

[@billk.5891]

Thank you sir. It's a pleasure to watch you work...

[@braytonbailey3782]

Ernie, a very informative video, thank you. I am a novice and have just purchased the vector grind and am trying to figure out what distance from the wheel I should position the pivot plate.

[@gened2768]

Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@KennethColeStatenIsland]

Excellent, thank you so much

[@johnsackett8371]

Very helpful, thank you, Ernie!

[@kevingeaney7741]

Very well explained from start to finish, Thank you. What you said about the Irish grind is true, however most of the credit should go to Liam O'Neill who not only pioneered it, but also thaught it to David Elsworth, when he visited Liam in his home in Galway. David developed the jig which makes it easier to grind.

[@jackelegoog693]

Excellent video showing how the grinding works with the turning

[@ValioMadre7]

Thank you Ernie. Your video's are extremely helpful, and much appreciated by this newbie.

[@Daryl185]

Great video, I learned a lot

[@LindsayFamily]

That was an excellent review of the different grinds, how to sharpen them, and how to approach the wood. It is just what I was hoping to find in my search. Thank you.

[@charlesreicks648]

Fantastic video and very well explained. Thanks Ernie

[@jasonflood9241]

As most commented, one of the best detailed explanations of various grinds, how to do the grind, and what each grind can do when forming a bowl. I particularly liked your explanation regarding the pitch of the jig when performing the wings of the Irish grind. If one has a grind established, they can simply color the area to grind with a sharpie and test against the grind stone to ensure proper angle is set by the removal of the black ink. However your explanation details how the change the pitch to obtain the wing angle. Great video. Best regards.

[@NianticRiverWoodcraftingChrisN]

Great demo, thank you!

[@ErikArneson]

Terrific information. Thank you!

[@cobberpete1]

So Interesting, so enjoyable to listen to your teachings, Big Thanks Ernie

[@nobodyshome8726]

Thank you sir for such a wonderful video..i love how you took your time showing and explaining each different grinđ...ì am now subscribed to your channel.

[@freddykelly4405]

You're the man💯

[@TheOtherGuybo]

Outstanding video - thank you so much!

[@WoodworkingPro]

Hello Erie and thank you for your great videos, you coverer many details and make them all perfectly clear You spoke of a vetra(spell) ? jig I was wondering where one can be purchased? I've seen a video where the person suggest the use of a 60degree angle to get what he called a bottom feeder, I wanted to get your take on that and possibly what you feel is the best angle and grind for cleaning up the bottom of bowls? That video I mentioned shows how that angle avoids hitting the rim of the bowl and cleans up the bottom of the bowl really well? Thank you Jim

[@ingearmike4887]

What would be best for the angle of the upper slope on an Irish grind?

[@HonorTrees]

Thank you

[@theretrogeek2281]

Hi what’s the cbn wheel grit? Thanks

[@danielmoreno5220]

Parabéns mestre pela sua afiação das ferramentas sou o Daniel Moreno de Mauá SP fiz algumas ferramentas dessas mas não estou conseguindo afiar direito as suas ficam perfeitas abraço já me escrevi no seu canal OK

[@Salmo1960]

How do you set the grinder platform to get a gouge 40degree nose angle? My brand new bowl gouge was sold at 55 degrees!

[@conoverworkshops1486]

About (And I do mean about) 40°.

[@larryhill6187]

Is your grinder 6” or 8” also have added a piece to the bottom of the Wolverine jig?

[@conoverworkshops1486]

An 8"

[@lightshine6044]

1:00 how thick is your wheel? How many inch? Thanks

[@conoverworkshops1486]

I have several grinders but all have 1 1/2" to 2" wide CBM wheels.

[@lightshine6044]

@@conoverworkshops1486 Thank You

[@michealsmith8993]

what type of grinding wheel do use for sharpening?

[@conoverworkshops1486]

One is an 80 and a 180 CBN wheel.

[@armus550b]

You mentioned a wierd angle on the veri grind but didn't say exactly what it was.

[@shednut2666]

Thank you for sharing isn't your trick cut a scrapping cut

[@conoverworkshops1486]

No, it is an extreme sheering cut.

[@johnbauby6612]

I don't see many people using a Tormek grinder. I am torn as to which grinder is best for me. The $400 Jet or the $900 Tormek. Both seem to look exactly alike and both accept the same jigs. I have a feeling it is not necessary to spend a thousand dollars on a grinder to achieve decent results
