- Master turner Alan Lacer demonstrates how to sharpen and use a detail/spindle gouge. This tool is the best choice for cutting coves (concave shapes), rolling beads (convex shapes) and shaping ogees (a combination of concave and convex curves).

I have known Alan for many years. He is down to earth and a super nice guy. Also an expert at his craft.
Being unemployed and unable to afford woodturning lessons, I find videos as great as this very resourceful. Thanks for sharing, I've learned a lot from watching the video.

Wow! I have watched many, many hours of demonstrations from many instructors and NONE have come close to this video!
Thanks for taking the time to make a video that actually has a result of giving me the tools and knowledge to have the confidence to go practice and get great results! I've always had pointy beads that I've had to sand round because I was doing just what you said would give you pointy bead. After watching this video and understanding what I was doing wrong my beads are perfect!! Your techniques as an instructor are seldom seen on RUclips or some of the CD's I've paid a lot of money for. Thank you!!
I ain't ever had anybody tell me to grind my gouges in the shape/way that I intend to use them to turn. That was absolutely brilliant. It makes so much more sense now. And instead of focusing on trying to be SO careful not to mess it up, I can use a protractor to get a good idea of where my tolerances should be, and resharpening etc should much much easier!
Thank you
An excellent no nonsense demonstration .
Finally I found this great lesson about freehand grinding a spindelgauge. As a beginning amateur I surched for clear and compact instructions. What I missed the most in all the other video's is the absence of 'why'. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to wood turning (3 months, next week) and I am handicapped so I can only stand or walk for very short periods of time. Thus I do my turning from the top of a large wheeled stool which will roll over most chips but still catches on the pieces of bowls that grenade on me. Since I have difficulty getting out and about, a turning club is out of my capabilities and to date have been depending on the info posted on RUclips by people like you. This is the first video I have seen on detail gouges, so I have yet to make any progress with them, whereas I have found a great amount of info on skew chisels and to date have relied on the skew to create my beads, using small bowl gouges to achieve a cove. But now I have some work in front of me. First at the grinder and hone, then at the lathe. Again, my most sincere thanks for a most patient and informative presentation. I'll be looking forward to your next video.
Thank you. Practice, practice, practice. I’m a firm believer that if you sharpen your skills on the basics you’ll be able to do anything later down the road. Thank you for the simplicity!
As another beginner I found this very helpful. You are an excellent teacher of your craft, and I'm sure that I will return to this lesson to remind myself of the finer points, even as I gain experience. Thank you so much.
Perfect, clear and concise.
One off the best video clips that I have seen.

Thanks Alan. Very helpful video.
Thanks for sharing that & showing how, well done
You make it look pretty easy. I will take your advise. Thanks for the lesson.
Good information, clearly presented. Thanks.
Good stuff... best item on spindle basics I have seen.....
This is the first time I have ever seen your chanel. And I have certainly been missing out on some AMAZING instructions on wood turning. I am VERY new to wood turning and hungry for knowledge. Well the way you described EVERYTHING was so easy to comprehend. Your style of teaching is exactly my preference. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time to teach this style of sharpening and turning. Your NEWEST SUBSCRIBER MR. B .
Phenomenal demonstration and guide. Thanks for producing this.
I recently had the pleasure of being trained by Alan Lacer at a woodturning symposium where we learned all about his favorite tool - The skew chisel.
I'm glad to see there are more training resources from him available.
You are a gifted teacher sir!
Excellent tutorial!!
Thank You
Very good demonstration. I'm just starting and I've had some bad catches but I'm getting better thanks to people like you..
Great video. Reinforces some techniques in the one spindle class my grandson and I took.
An excellent lesson, especially the sharpening….Thanks 👍👏👏👏👏😃
great video, many thanks.
Excellent. Especially appreciated the close ups of the appropriate position of the spindle gouge to do concave and convex, starting at ~15". Thank you!
Brilliant content, well done.
Excellent video and very well explained
thanks
A great tutorial on using the spindle gouge
This is one great video! Thanks.
Thank you for the excellent instruction, just what this 69 year old carpenter needed to try his hand at some turning for relaxation.. Blessings
Thanks for this video, helped me save my gouges
excellent video Alan learned a great deal from it thanks
Thanks...I have been having problems and you showed me it is poorly sharpened and bad profile tools. Thanks again Jeff
Very clear explanation. Thank you!
Excellent presentation.
I am so thankful that this was posted. I recently turned a tall coat rack. I experienced several instances of run-back with my detail gouge. I became frustrated and ended up not using it. The tips that were given on how to prevent this will come in very handy. Thanks again.
Very concise! Nice job.
Great teaching video!!!
Great instruction. Thank you!
Great video. I will literally use this info tonight on my lathe.
Thanks Alan! Some teachers, like yourself, just make more sense to the novice than others (even between "Masters" of a trade).
Thanks for your time, It helps!

Wondered why my new detailer gouge was trying to hurt it's newbie owner. It must be modified to work properly. Works much better now. Thanks for the wonderful video.
👍très bonne vidéo. .. merci
Thanks, leo from the Netherlands
great help thanks
He is just a great guy. Very professional but never looking down on anyone. He was wonderful at the 1st State Turners in Del. I actually use a skew now. (His Skews and diamond hone)
excellent--thank you
Great tutorial for me as a beginner Thank you. You can eliminate the squeaky belt on your lathe with some talc powder as I did, same lathe. Makes it smell nice too.

This is an outstanding instructional video. I wish that the audio during the sharpening sequence had been clearer though.
Very well done Hope you will allow Allan to do more turning videos!!
That's exactly how I hold my fly rod thank you I'm always white knuckling my way through it
Thank you
the best!
Very good video. I have one question when you were grinding the tool you didn't cool them in water ? aren't you worried about loosing the temper ?
Great video. I thought 24 minutes would be too long to watch but you moved the discussion along nicely. By the way what about honing with sandpaper?
I liked this video,,it helped a lot,,what is the type of tool you are using
Thank you so much very helpful. I was wondering if anybody knows where I might be able to buy the diamond teardrop slip stone looks like a card but it’s not a regular card diamond stone. again thank you very much many blessings
Thank you!
Wow
Great instruction. I wish we could have heard better during the grinding
What are "saftey squints" rated at ? Very helpful thank you
Show!
My fingernails do grow out square - I trim them to be elliptical. Ha-Ha. But we all know what you mean. Good instruction. Regards.
