I have a question - sometimes I want to turn or sand in reverse. My Talon chucks have places for set screws to hold them in place and keep them from unscrewing in reverse. I’ve started adding Vicmark chucks for larger jaws and there are no threaded holes or other visible way to prevent them from unscrewing in reverse mode. What, if anything, keeps chucks threaded onto the lathe besides the set screw solution?

These are all great tips! I've had a couple of scary turns, and it definitely made me nervous getting back to the lathe. I started small and worked my way back.

I'm watching you cut that green wood and I'm thinking how different it is from dry oak. I'd like to see how you would approach a dry oak blank.

Do you have a favorite source for sandpaper?

Sanding is definitely my least favorite part of turning a bowl so thank you for the tip.

Great tip Scott cheers from Will.👍

Great tip! Thanks!😀

Great video, Scott. When I focus on just one problem area with the lathe off, I sometimes will make the surface uneven in that spot. Any tips on avoiding this issue? Usually with green bowls I can get a great finish off the tool, but not always when turning dry pieces. Thanks in advance!

I tend to find that sanding green clogs the discs. You don't experience that?

Thank you!

great video Scott! Is your 45-ish grind similar to a 40/40?

That's a great video, Scott. Thanks a ever for sharing

You are doing great work Scott! I hope when I finally retire I can come out for a few days and turn with you! Park the RV in the woods and get me some of that wood fired pizza! 🙂

Thanks for all the very good information, I have found the mentioned breathing technique very productive to just settle any small concern you might have, thanks for your insights 🤝

Seriously this is amazing 😮

Beautiful 😊

Let’s roll with it! 😂

Really appreciate you Scott! Good explanation!

This is one tool that i really struggle with. Do you use on green turned bowls too? All my bowls are green but i just get tear out and a terrible finish with scrapers. I sharpen on a sorby pro edge so the burr is fresh, my NR is a glen lucas french curve. Its great at shaping the inside curve but i always have to go over with a gouge. Frustrating!

What angle is that at?

First time I've watched one of your videos, very informative.

As always Scott, looking good, your explanatory style is really nice !

Thanks for sharing. I turn mostly dry wood. Have to sharpen often.

Great tips, Scott, as usual. Cheers

Should the apex of the beads be perpendicular to the bowls surface or should the apex be parallel to each of its neighbours?

Thanks, Scott. I think I learned something from every video you post! Thanks for sharing!

why not use rivets to attach the handle?

Thats some efficiency. Thanks for sharing your process.

Some good points, thanks for sharing. I have been thinking of getting the curved rest you show.

Very informative video. Question for you. What brand is the gouge?

what is the wood you are using?

Thanks for that video Scott - super clear explanation 👍

Jim Sprague has shown this same technique, I think he called it shear cutting. Regardless, his demo is identical to yours. I can attest that what you're showing and explaining works excellent! Question: do you use the curved tool rest for all your bowl turning or just for the outside? Are you going to show your sharpening method as well?

Lovely buddy! Sorry I did not holler sooner!

Super tips. Just what us newbies need to be shown.

Very informative. Thanks.

Why shape of flute does your bowl gouge have?

IMO other wood turners probably won't mind a long video. I prefer single longer educational videos to multiple shorter ones. And still to this date after years of turning, my favorite grind is the 40/40 grind.

That's really clear, Scott, thank you. Can I check - is the 60 degree referring to the bevel sharpening angle, or the sweep back along the wing?

It’s incredible how quickly you can take off a ton of material

Great vid. I don't get to cut wet wood often, and always love seeing those curls. When I got started I got a very similar 5/8" gouge with fingernail grind, along with a 5/8 "traditional"/"bottom of the bowl", and a 1/2" 40/40. The 60 deg is by far my most often used (and two years in it is very noticeably shorter). I see the uses for the other two, but I do far more work with the 60 deg fingernail. I'm looking forward to your next vid on shear scraping and agree that's another place this gouge really shines!

Красавчик👍💪

Sick bowl dude, this is underviewed

Surprised you don’t wear an Airshield or similar

Are you making some walnut bowl blanks

Nice chainsaw cuts 👏👏

What exactly was the project?

What diameter drill bit do you use?

I’m about to make one of these. Do I need to true up the plywood edge on the lathe before mounting the two side pieces? I found center on my plywood circle but surely it isn’t dead on. Also: I’m assuming you can’t turn the outside all the way to the rim with this method. The last little bit would need to be done once the bowl is reversed and back in a chuck, correct?

Well done Scott. Do you grind the heel down on your gouge? If so, is that necessary for beading? Thanks!
