Thanks for sharing, great and informative video and awesome job on showing what each chisels will do when using…. 💪🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
When working between centers my lathe starts to be very loud. The lathe in the video made absolutely zero noise. What’s the problem with mine then ?
really clear instruction thank you 🙂
Interesting. Thanks for the information.
Best introduction (by far) to not just a starter set, but also a good general understanding of these mysterious objects various shapes.
Brilliant 👍
Excellent description of tool basics. Thanks!
Great info! Thanks!
Excellent video. But one very importnat question; I have a set of Record chisels and there’s no parting tool in it. I’ve got the gouges and the skew and a sixth one with an oddly curved shank and I don’t know what it’s for. I got this set passed on to me from my father-in-law, and am just now getting into woodturning. Why would a set of turning chisels not include the parting tool when it’s that important?
I am not seeing a clear difference between a one inch roughing gouge and one inch spindle gouge. Can someone explain?
Hi, how it goin’? I’m curious why you refer to the tools, as Chisels. When they are really a Gouge. We don’t Chisel, when woodturning!
Thank you. Bought a starter kit and was completely lost lol.
Wonderful explanation – thank you:)
Excellent
Good video man
Excellent showmanship!
What is the speed of the rotation? What is the rule about that?
Turning time my wood not turning smooth there has many ganes what i do for smoother round?
good job
Thank you for sharing this is excellent information I’m surprised you don’t have more comments I just started working and learning about turning and using a lathe thanks again bye for now look forward to hear from you Ken God bless
Do you need different gouges for spindle vs. bowl turning?
I’m a bit disappointed in myself but I learned a lot more than I imagined I would from this video, thanks for making it
When using the skew to ‘level’/straighten the cylinder, it is best used in a ‘peeling’ cut. Same for roughing with the SRGs (spindle roughing gouges). Start with the cutting edge high and the handle low, then raise the handle till the edge starts to cut. Essentially you are cutting on a tangent to the wood. If you are holding the tool more level you are pretty much using a scraping cut. A scraping cut does work, but almost always leaves a coarser surface, which means more sanding….
very explicit as well as demonstrative’ . I’ve learned a lot. Thank you.
Well explained
just awesome. Gonna help a lot for beginners like me. Thnx a lot
Thanks for the easy to understand instruction!
Thank you for this. I just got access to a lathe, but the guy who gave me the introduction seems to know as little as I.
Great video, thanks!
Short and to the point. Great vid.
I haven’t used a lathe since 1970.
I just bought one, so this vid was just what I needed.
I loved this video. Thank you SO MUCH. You’re a natural teacher.
Thanks ! Really well done, clear concise, useful information, for someone interested in starting this type of wood work
It shows that you are a woodworker and not a woodturner. Sorry, not trying to be disrespectful, but you sure aren’t using the skew chisel as intended. You are actually using it as a negative rake scraper, which does work but you don’t get the glass smooth finish with a proper skew technique. It also appears that you are rubbing the bevel which also give a lot better control and finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G7-Wsfd9YA&t=831s
Thank you!
Got my first lathe today, messed with some horrible soft pine and it chipped and blew apart and made a mess, but it was incredibly fun!
I actually got a decent looking item out of it and I’m excited to try more! Home depot here I come…
I love this channel
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing!
A big thank you, perfect for any starter
Hahah OMG! I have been using my tools all wrong. Thank you for this video. Now I need to watch one on how to sharpen…
That was very helpful, thank you
Wonderful for the beginner that’s me thankyou
What are the round tip tools called? I see people use them a lot when working with resin. Are they like a finishing tool?
thanks for the info
*9:22** clock* so what you are saying is, don’t take your hands off? 😂
Seriously though, awesome video to get back to basics. Everyone will make tons of them and to see a video like this and hint at what can go wrong after investing time in the workpiece is really cool.
It burns so bad when you at the end of an invested project and you accidentally whoopsie.
Thanks for sharing, Sir.
fantastic video. thanks!
I would call this the “quick start” guide to wood turning, which is exactly what I wanted. I started watching another video that described itself as a beginner video; the guy was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable but went into WAY too much detail. This was perfect. Thank you.
you can scratch your work by letting tool bounce on work
Thank you for this clear, informative video. I’ve just bought a second hand lathe and it has come with many chisels. Thanks to your video, I now know what each chisel is and how to use it. Thank you
Any tool sharpning problem or other reason.
