I like the way you explain what you are doing while you are turning, this is really useful for new turner's and also helps people like me that have been turning for a while. Pease don't stop doing this as this makes your video's more interesting.
Thanks for your feedback Phil I really appreciate it 😁 I'll try and include a commentary explaining what I'm doing in future videos 👍thanks for watching
Thanks Huw, I really enjoyed turning this piece, some of the holly I turned from the same tree came out paper white once turned and it was very close grained 😁 thanks for watching 👍
Great video again. Never know what you're going to get with burrs. A great bowl or a hole in the ceiling when it flies off the chuck. Dead jealous of your lathe too.
Great piece and lovely simple finish! Thanks so much for all the commentary on holding the tool, body stance and hollowing techniques. I just started turning in January and the last five bowls I’ve tried had some nasty catches that have ruined them, broke the tenon or mortise or just plain shattered them. I hope to try some of your techniques on my next one. I feel like quitting sometimes but know I just need to keep practicing. One thing I struggle with that few videos mention is height of the tool rest. That would be helpful if you feel so inclined 😊
Thanks for your comment Donni, glad you liked the commentary. I remember when I first started I use to get frustrated with getting catches and ruining bowls, it will get better with more practice 😁 The tool rest is normally adjusted so when you place your tool on top of it the tool is cutting along the center line. I hope this helps and I'll try and add more comments in future videos. I have made some beginner videos on how to use traditional woodturning tools and how to sharpen them, which you might find interesting 👍 thanks for watching
Hi Tom. I’m not keen on the ‘arty’ stuff, I’m a more ‘make it to use it’ guy. I do however love your commentary and teaching style, I find it really practical and I alway learn heaps from your videos. Thanks Tom, keep them coming.
Hasn’t that bowl got an earthy look about it, looks fantastic and what a lovely grain the shape fit the bowl which is so difficult to achieve well done Tom another masterclass. Holly is very tough on you gouges and has a tendency to crack and split thanks for you tips on sharpening regards Martin
Thanks for your comment Martin, it definitely has an earthly feel about it, Holly can be such a pain to turn as it tends to twist as it grows and crack and splits easy, this was the first time turning a holly burl so was really interesting to see how it turned out :-) thanks for watching
Wow well done Tom not only with your turning skills ,but also great camera work ,however it seems sad that you have turned ETs head, check out the start of the video and you will see a spitting image of ETs face. No need to call home. Great work David
Thanks Matt, it's a JSP powercap active IP, it's battery powered respirator, here is the link to one www.yandles.co.uk/jsp-powercap-active-ip-powered-respirator-impact-protection/p25489 I also use a honeyWells face visor for green turning 👍thank for watching
That's lovely. The video was really enjoyable and your commentary made it that much better. Could I ask where the bowl gouge with the black shaft you used at the start is made by please? Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks Brendan, the Celtic ground gouges I used in the video is a Hamlet gouge and black handled 40/40 grind is and old Henry Taylor gouge I got from Ray Key a good few years back I believe they are both made in Sheffield, England 😁 thanks for watching 👍
Thanks Tom, I have that Hamlet gouge so I'll adjust the grind because it looked pretty sweet here. I thought it was a Doug Thompson tool when I saw the colour of the shaft but then had anotherr look and it was just the light in that particular shot. B
Thanks Roy I've been turning around 8 years, I do sell my bowls mostly at craft and art fairs. I do a lot of commemorative work on a commission basis which is my favourite type of work 😁 thanks for watching 👍
Hey I was wondering have you had many problems with ur 14 inch sip bandsaw because I have the 12 inch one and I have had problems with the wheels being out of Aline which then means the blade is out of Aline and the blade come off the wheels often Thanks
Hi Matthew, I've had a few little problems with mine over the years, I had to replace the running belt from the motor and some worn out guide bearings which seemed to solve the problems I was having with getting the saw blade to run true. Have you adjusted the position of the top and bottom guide bearings? On my saw they are on a rail that you cans adjust with an Alan key which should help support the saw blad as its running, also on my saw the top wheel is on an angle adguster plate where you can tilt the wheel forward and back, which helps the blade run true in the crown of the wheel, if you've got this on yours it might be worth playing around with. I've also found that if you take the tension off the blade when not in use, then add tension to the blade when you want to cut the saw blades seem to last longer and I haven't had one break or come off since I've started doing this. I wish I could be more help for you, If you're still having trouble with it, it might be worth contacting SIP to see what they can do to help as they were really helpful when I needed some replacement parts 😁 thanks for watching
@@thewelshwoodman649 I have had the bandsaw only about 2 years and iv had a good few problems with it because the top and bottom wheel are out of aline which means the blade on the top wheel is at the back of the wheel and at the bottom its sticking off and iv tried to realine the bottom wheel but that didn't work and iv played with the adjuster on the back for the top wheel to adjust the angle of it which it doesn't help either so I am completely confused on what I should do and iv contacted sip to see what they could do I appreciate you taking time to reply to me thanks
@@matthewmcc5090 It might be worth making a video showing the exact problem and emailing SIP to see if there is anything they can do or advise, the other option is to see if a local engineering company or a machinery service specialist company can help solve it. I hope you can work something out all the best Tom.
