In this episode at the Sawdust Factory we work on a square bowl with feet. The project was completed with rough saw Walnut.

I envy your youth and subsequent tool control. At my age, I really have to concentrate on my tool movements. This is a nice piece and your explanations along the way are very good. Thanks for posting this!

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Thanks Madrona! It’s taken me a lot of practice to get to this point and I still have a long way to go. Glad your enjoying the videos. Please keep watching.

Tool control and catches! I keep saying that to the new five stiches in my finger :(

[@apistosig4173]

That bowl is nothing short of ART! fabulous

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Thanks Apisto!

Thanks

[@KeithWorswick]

Looks great, I just came across this video.... It only took me 3 years.... lol

[@IrishChippy]

Looks like a real posh dog feeding bowl. Beautiful work deserves to get you to 991 (9 to go)

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Haha... yeah I thought about letting the dog take a drink out of it for the video. I’m almost to that 1K.

[@SloanThrasher]

Very nice results! One part of the video I really liked was how you explained about the angle of the gouge when you were making the inside of the feet and the bottom of the bowl. Great video!

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Thanks Sloan. Glad you enjoyed the video.

It doesn't matter if you can feel the tool marks. If you can see them then fix them. It makes an alright piece an extraordinary piece.

Really nice turning. You are right about those wings being sharp. My 16 year old grandson and I are fairly new to turning and always caution him to keep the hands behind the tool rest and take care of the ghost images. Definitely sanding with the lathe stopped is the way to go. Like your videos. They are teaching me much about the use of the gouges.

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it Bill. Good to hear your picking up some techniques. Although mine are probably not the best at times. I’m always trying for better tool control. It’s what separates the novices like me from the true pros out there.

[@Cellottia]

Fascinating. It's good to hear you discuss the design/turning subtleties (I'm not a woodturner myself but it's really interesting).

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Glad you found it interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.

BONITA VASILHA , BOM PARA POR RAÇÃO DE CACHORRO.

[@limaartesao]

muito bom
parabens

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

obrigado!!

[@micstica]

The front of the lathe seems very close to the wall. I have not seen a set up like that before. What was your reasoning ? I am preparing to build a new table for my lathe and I figured to just attach it to the wall.

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Shop space was the reason. I also throw the shavings against the wall so they don’t go all over the shop.

[@bjparker9111]

Love your video nice work. I've always wondered if pump lathe tools would work on a electric lathe? Or would it bite in to much. GOD BLESS

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

Thanks BJ. I don’t know what a pump tool is so I can’t say for sure.

[@geewizz3335]

nice work . I was wondering what type of metal is your bowl gouge? looks like brass copper

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

The gouge is made from high speed tool steel. Not sure of the actual grade. The gold finish you see is a coating that the manufacture puts on it that is intended to made it hold a cutting edge better. I don’t recall the actual name of the coating.

[@geewizz3335]

awesome probably a great idea. could you tell me the brand of the tool or maker thanks much appreciated

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

It’s made by Robert Sorby. The coating is Titanium Nitride. I bought it without a handle and put my own on it. You can get these off amazon.

[@geewizz3335]

thankyou Josh ill check it out take care

[@twoxhutch1960]

If you heat up the steel then buff it with a brass wire wheel you will have a brass style finish on your high carbon steel

[@bushwacker49]

How did you hold it to take the tenon off?

[@JoshBayerWoodturning]

I just use my tail stock to push it against a waste block. Then take off as much as possible. The last bit against the tail stock I remove by hand.

[@robertdomulevicz2500]

One thing that sticks out is that table saw blade that has not been lowered out off the way. Not very safe.

[@robertschaeffer5861]

Way to show...
