Watching a master craftsman at his job is so satisfying. His explanations are brilliant and to the point, without excess explanation. Just wood shaping and brilliant filming.
I would watch this vi deo 10 times and learn something each time (and i will). Thanks for being one of the best woodturning teacher on the internet. ( I try to watch your and Richard Raffa''s videos --- i try to keep up) Dave Peters North California, US
This is a marvellous video Tomislav. I will be coming back to this video again and again because you clarified many aspects of turning that I didn't fully understand. Many thanks, Brendan.
Excellent video, I have learned so much from your videos. You sure are a master at the lathe , keep up the great work Thank you. Look for your videos every day
When measuring, measure from jaws closed inside diameter, outside diameter, or jaws open enough for depth measurement between jaws either OD or ID. Thanks for all of your hard work to get us your knowledge
Great to watch your work I'm always impressed with it. There hasn't bin 1 vidio of yours I can't say I don't like. I saved this 1 to help me learn more started on my 3rd bowl with your help thanks for sharing as always it's great
And another video almost an hour long, which feels like it ends after 20 minutes. I have never seen a better explanation of the possible use of different tools when turning a bowl. Thank you Tomislav. Greetings Andreas
Not done watching the whole thing but I'm really liking this format with the clean and neat chapters. I recently discussed shaping a tenant with someone using a spindle gouge add one problem we found was that their geometry was off, having really high wings so they could not get in nice and tight. I think for a lot of people it's their grind that gets in the way of techniques call even something like not removing the heel of a scraper and it being in the way. Just a thought. I shall continue watching.
Hi, Tomoslav. I have been turning about 8 years and really benefit a huge amount from both your and Richard Rafan‘s videos. One question you promised to answer was how you sign your bowls. I struggle to do this, so would really appreciate any tips. Thanks again from the Black Forest woodworker!
Thanks for the instruction. I suggest that sanding the center of the inside is better done with the power sander. Also, I've found that final burnishing with a scotchbrite ball on the drill gives a nice surface.
Thanks Tomislav. Outstanding video. The Speedy Gonzales reference is old and obscure. It made me laugh. I haven’t heard that since I was a child. I told you your English is good.
Tomislav: Your videos are great and you are an excellent instructor.l One thing that would help me is another camera mounted in such a way as to show the angle of the tool presentation; this has always been a problem for me. I do understand the less than 90 for the scrapers but gouge presentation is my proble.
I have always been "different". In turning, this applies to my use of scrapers for all heavy duty stock removal, and I never use anything more than one inch wide. No need for anything wider, and less chance of getting over powered by the wood and lathe. The Oregon coastal turners of our Myrtle/California Bay Laurel wood all use the "Big Ugly" tool, which is tantung that is silver soldered onto bar stock. They turn at 4000 or so rpm, and completely turn their bowls with the Big Ugly tool. Rough in scraper mode, and shear scrape for finish cut mode. Their bevel angles are in the 65 degree range. I still prefer a gouge for finish cuts, and a shear scrape for fine tune up of the finished surface. I will have to experiment more with the spindle detail gouges. I do have several that I have converted to BOB (bottom of bowl) gouges which are about 65 degree bevels and a ) shape nose profile. Now, I have to try a spindle detail gouge for the finish cuts....
@robohippy Glad to see your comment. I've been watching your videos for a long time. With so many turners on RUclips its almost overwhelming. Not to minimize Tomislav's videos, because I never miss one, but good to see yours again.
Tomislav, could you do a video on speeds? Of all the different examples I have watched almost no one talks about speeds and why they chose the speed they did for the operation they are performing. Also, there seems to be a lot of inconsistency from one demonstrator to another. Thanks, again!
There is no single correct way of turning,that is beauty of it, some love turn really fast,some slower, I would always apply rule to put only sound wood on the lathe, as that is one of the most important things. I'll see what I can do for the video,thank you very much for suggestion 😀
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks! Maybe I'll get that level of confidence as I keep turning. For now, extending the tool more than a 40-50mm starts to make me nervous.

Thank you soo much
I would say that this is the best video I’ve watched of yours so far. Knowing the ‘why’ behind your choices is super helpful. Many thanks.
Thank you, glad to help out

Thank you Dave very much
Probably the best tutorial I have seen.👍
Thank you sir
Really good and comprehensive run through. A great teaching video. You go to a lot of effort making these videos.
Thank you,I really appreciate that
Very informative; thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
A master class. Thank you, Tomislav :)

Stunning ash and very educational tutorial again, thank you very much sir!
I am going to try out a lot tomorrow!

Thanks buddy
This is the first time I’ve understood the function of the inertia sander. Very helpful.
Glad to help

Hello Nigel,yes I have and You'll see it very shortly 😀
Your videos are so helpful!!! Thank you very much. Please keep them coming.
Excellent explanation of the what but also the why on tool choice.
Once you understand the rules and why they are the rules you can break the rules. This is my rule in all areas of art and craft.
Thanks Mike
An excellent class in turning a beautiful bowl and why to use each and every tool you used. And also options for other tools too. Thank you!
Thank you sir
Very nice bowl and well explained, thanks!
Excellent video on technique. Your videos never fail to instruct and inspire. Thanks you.
Nice to see your website up. Thanks for all the info on turning. May God bless

Another fabulous video thanks for all your tips.
Very nice, I love all the information and the use of all the different tools, another great video.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you tomislav
Another great teaching video. You are the best
Thank you,far from it,I still have a tone to improve
Always well explained, again really excellent. Thanks. Love the bowl
Never fail to increase the understanding, why and how (and how not). Please do video on making inertia sander, I love home made tools.
I'll see what I can do
Lots of great information, thanks.
That is some very useful information thanks for sharing. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Very well done video, Tomi
Great video
Great explanation Tomislav. I’m always asking the videos why did you do it that way!!
Thanks Tomislav. Outstanding video. The Speedy Gonzales reference is old and obscure. It made me laugh. I haven’t heard that since I was a child. I told you your English is good.
Thank you Steven, and I really appreciate lovely donation. Thank you sir for supporting my work
Another excellent video tomislav thank you

Its just a beauty that there is so many different ways of doing turning.
Thanks for your insight and your latest video is top notch
I would like if you could demonstrate and explain the proper use of an Outboard Scraper. Thanks
Sorry, which is outboard scraper?
didn't heard of that one yet 🤔
It looks like this. ruclips.net/user/shortsrMjBhnyaKPc?si=9ub2VXCWS0TAw4am

When you're hollowing a bowl, do you ever angle the tool rest into the bowl to reduce the distance the tool extends into the bowl?
I do sometimes, but only on really deep stuff. Usually I can get to bottom without any issues and also using correct tool for the job helps as well
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks! Maybe I'll get that level of confidence as I keep turning. For now, extending the tool more than a 40-50mm starts to make me nervous.
@@fretless05 take your time and keep the bevel in contact and take it slow and you should be ok.
Can I ask what speed grinder you are using to sharpen your tools? I see your tools look a little blue on the tips.
Its full speed grinder,that little blue does not affect HSS steel as long as you don't dunk in water, then it looses temper.
Speedy Gonzales??? That's a phrase I haven't heard in a while! 😂
Thanks!
Thank you soo much sir
