Good tips. I don't have much experience at twice-turning and have not considered the points you discussed. This has probably saved me from some major disappointments when I do. Thanks.
There are many turners that talk about tool usage and other technical stuff, but you bring that and so much more in your videos. Your channel embodies the learn, create, and share motto. Great stuff!
Great presentation! Thanks for the detailed and precise explanations and very good demonstrations of your knowledge and experience. Your explanation of the use of the bowl gouge and its approaches is probably the best I've seen so far. Thanks again!
Spot on tutorage, great video. Also glad to NOT see the glove police kicking up their standard fuss in these comments :) pros have their reasons! Looking forward to more
First class vid and very timely as I have just chucked up my first dried bowl that i had previously rough turned. Real glad I have watched your video first because i would not have gone about it in the correct way! also like your tips about design and decoration. Thanks.
Wow, lot of info in this one. I'm gonna have to watch it again. I really like your turning videos because that's my weak spot in woodworking. I got a lathe to do spindle work for furniture parts, but you've got me thinking I need to branch out and try some bowls! I'd like to see what you do with some of the others.
Great video. I loved the one element per bowl concept. I turn a lot of smaller bowls and they start to feel pretty boring. Adding some carving and filler helps to mix it up more. Thanks for sharing.
As always this was another very informative and helpful video. Seeing your technique for engaging the end/lips of bowls was especially helpful for me. I'd been struggling with getting a nice "safe" and reliable start with the bowl gauges... if that makes sense. Seeing how you start with a closed entry then open up once established was like the clouds parted and the sun shone down on me! I used the technique today and it worked wonderfully on a cherry bowl. Thank you!!!
Always worth watching! Would love to see some more single element design ideas - just starting turning this year and have rough turned about 35 bowls (in NZ so mainly pohutokawa, black walnut, brazilian pepper tree) but am struggling to imagine how I am going to finish them once they are dry. Still at the stage where I find anything nicely finished is just beautiful in terms of the wood itself, but I understand that if I want to try and fund this hobby of mine I will have to produce pieces that appeal to prospective buyers and adding interest might help. Thank you!
I don't own a lathe but I've always want to get into turning. If I do, this is a video I'd want to watch again if I do buy a lathe. Again your videos have the best content I've ever seen, now can I have a free t-shirt,lol! I do have at lest one of your t-shirt...
Really liked this video. All you videos are so helpful I have learned so much about turning watching your stuff. I think I have watched most of them twice. Some stuff I dont really understand like the 3 to 2 dimensions but that's ok. I'm new to turning and most of my first stuff cracked because I didnt know about pith. Thanks for that video. I have so many questions but I'll ask those later. Really like my rough turning shirt. Thanks again for your videos. If you ever do classes I would be very interested in that.
Very interesting! I enjoyed seeing the detailed design ideas and am eager to try some of these myself. I would welcome more of the same. It didn't seem like a 40 min. video at all.
I loved this video! I'd love to see more like this; either long form (like this), or short, one-bowl-design per video, would be great! While I love the deliberate instruction videos (where you have a lesson in mind), I also really love these "this is how I do it" videos... that are... less "focused" are more.... just being in the shop with you, type of thing. That doesn't make a lot of sense... maybe someone who agrees with me will articulate it better.
Hi, I posted this in the Woodchucker's FB group, but probably should have asked you here because I think I've integrated your method into my process, but there's one thing I feel I need to improve on. the process I've started to use: 1- faceplate blank, rough turn the bottom portion, turn a tenon 2- Reverse and place bowl in a chuck, flatten the top/rim of bowl 3- Rough out the center to establish a diameter to give an idea of what to work with on the outside of the bowl 4- turn the exterior to final exterior design 5- turn the interior to final interior design/thickness 6- sand (& sand & sand, etc.) exterior and interior 7- apply finish(es) (oils/shine-juice/wax-polish) 8- reverse bowl to remove the tenon and finish the bottom (using a jamb chuck, cole jaws, or vacuum) Is there a better way? Thing is my tenon removal tends to blend into the bottom that will remain, and seems like I am removing progress/finish from previous step #7. Maybe I should only finish the interior and wait until after removing the tenon to complete exterior finish? Appreciate your feedback, and really enjoy your videos!
@@wortheffort ok, appreciate your quick reply! :) I apologize, I should have been more clear. I wasn't looking for what to finish with, was looking for advice on how to avoid re-work when removing the tenon, but maybe you cover that in other videos. I'll search. Thanks
@@mikeb4555 Your asking me how to turn a bowl based upon how you turn a bowl. I have lots of video's on "bowl turning". That's where I'd tell you to search, watch, and decide if what you see is better than what you do. Then experiment. After a few hundred bowls you'll understand what works for you and what doesn't.
I still don't own a lathe but enjoy watching(plus shop is ripped apart and am plasterboarding the who darn thing, so everything's in boxes stored inthe barn...Nice to see someone working with wood while I'm up to my elbows in white plaster gunk....rr in Normandy
Just wondering if you have a video on the push cut that is used to finish the backside of the bowl. Is there an alternative way to finish the back side without doing a push cut?
Once again an inspiring video. Yes I would like to see more design tips. Always nice to sit here in Denmark enjoying moning Coffee and a fresh video from you. I have come to the habbit of turning the outside just after trueing up the foot. Not giving me the same room for design experimentation. You did not show the outside turning and my lack of imagination doesn't allow me to see how I could change my routine. Could you explain the outside turning? Or could it be a subject for a follow-up video? Once again thx for sharing and inspiring. Best regards Jens
Thanks for replying. My approach is more like your pear bowl video, where I can make a final pushcut from base to rim in one pass. Doing this while mounted in the chuck would place headstock and chuck in the way. I guess from your reply that you don't mind going "down hill" like you do in the 20 min bowl video and the natural edge video. Right? I have not yet had any luck or good results with that technique and the only reason I have a left hand is so it may support the right - it is terrible at toolcontrol. That is why I would feel like everything is reversed or mirrored finising the outside while in the chuck. Did I guess right on your approach? Best regards Jens
So what do you do when the outside of the dried blank is out of round. I don’t see it in this video. Do you cut it while you are working on the tenon with the center pushing on the tenon side, or do you cut it after you finish the tenon, and have the new tenon in the chuck?
@ • by Woodworkers Journal seems like an interesting way to possibly dry bowls after they have been turned green. Since I don't have any green wood yet , the power company is cutting under the lines near me . Hope they have stuff too large to put in chipper to grind up . I may have to try this method.
Boy, did I find this just in time! Have a whole bunch of rough turned bowls myself, and was clueless how to get started. Do you make the tenons oversized and the recesses undersized to allow for triming ? It seems otherwise I could wind up with to small a tenon or too large a recess for the chuck. Thanks a bunch!
I know this is not at all related to this video but I got a bed from rooms to go and wanted to make a desk to match it but can seem to match the color is there an easy way to match to color of the bed?
I'd contact someone who specializes in finish or buy the desk there as you'll spend about as much in supplies as it'd cost from the store. If you gotta match....
If you don't look up the golden ratio, look up the rule of thirds used in photography. Try typing in the golden ratio into you tube and you could end up with a design for a pair of callipers to make, if you don't message me and I'll send if to you.
esa vibración se evita pasando el dispositivo por fuera 1 centímetro y le hace el molde por fuera muy preciso no se usted pero yo saco los 3 o 4 cuencos de 1 pulgada sin problemas
I know that you sand very little. In one of your videos you discussed how the fibers rise when the encounter moisture. I see this when I add the sanding sealer. I have also discovered that when I get to the 400 grit size I get my spray water bottle and douse the wood and sanding paper at a slow speed. Letting the wood and paper dry is reducing the fibers do not lift when I add either the sanding sealer or danish oil etc. what do you think. Enjoying your videos
I usually leave a comment for those who answer me. I watch your vids a fair bit and learn from you so thanks for taking the time for this.
The BEST teacher of woodturning on the net. Thank you.
thanks
Good tips. I don't have much experience at twice-turning and have not considered the points you discussed. This has probably saved me from some major disappointments when I do. Thanks.
Thank you for the class, I would have been fortunate to have had professors who teach the way you do and still maintain a passion for the topic.
Thanks
There are many turners that talk about tool usage and other technical stuff, but you bring that and so much more in your videos. Your channel embodies the learn, create, and share motto. Great stuff!
Thanks
I'd love to see another finish turning video. It's very helpful to hear you talk through your design process.
Guerin Rowland tomorrow
I just want to say thank you for all your videos you do. Any level Turner will gain knowledge from your help.
Thanks
I enjoyed the turning details and now will try what I learned. I haven't turned for a while now and it's amazing what I have forgotten. Thanks
Yes, sir, I'd love to see your other decorating ideas. Thanks for explaining your views on amount and dimension.
Thanks
I love how I’m sitting at home staring at my pile of bowl blanks and knowing you have a video on what I’m supposed to do next!!
Great video. Very informative in addition to demonstration which is perfect for learning. Thank you so much.
Great presentation! Thanks for the detailed and precise explanations and very good demonstrations of your knowledge and experience. Your explanation of the use of the bowl gouge and its approaches is probably the best I've seen so far. Thanks again!
Thanks
My son and I enjoy your channel, we'd love to see more of your design theory.
Thanks
Awesome work and tutorial, as always. Thanks very much! Scott
Excellent, I enjoyed all 42 minutes and 43 seconds, please do more like it.
Thanks, there are others in similar style on my channel.
Yes, I have watched quite a few, all good.
Thanks. Your expertise helps me a lot in my efforts to improve my turning skills as well in other areas.
Thanks
Trevor from Australia, thank you so much for your videos they are just so encouraging.Just love them, thank you.
Thanks
Spot on tutorage, great video. Also glad to NOT see the glove police kicking up their standard fuss in these comments :) pros have their reasons! Looking forward to more
Thanks. Reason = not getting burned....
Yes! Please film the others as well!! Thanks for the great instruction.
Thanks
Very well done! Please show the rest being done. Learned more in that 40 mins than the past year....cheers.
Thanks
So interesting! I love the brass and what you did with the music in the editing! Beautiful bowls.
Thanks
Always enjoy watching you work, and explaining what you are doing and why.
Thanks
good tutorial on the aesthetics of turning bowl designs.
Thanks
Thank you for making a 43 minute video seem like 5 minutes. Terrific.
Thanks
That was my thought, too!
Very good as always! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge!

Get after it.
Great video! even though its over 40 min long you managed to keep it interesting with quality which is an art by itself :)
Thanks
You have answered so many of my questions and issues in one video. Thanks so much!!
Thanks
Wow, lot of info in this one. I'm gonna have to watch it again. I really like your turning videos because that's my weak spot in woodworking. I got a lathe to do spindle work for furniture parts, but you've got me thinking I need to branch out and try some bowls! I'd like to see what you do with some of the others.
Stick with spindles for a while. It's the foundation. Good spindle turners can do anything. Those who learn bowls first can't transition as well.
I loved your video, as I do all of them. You are a great teacher.
Thanks
Always learn something, if not many things, watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
this helps me allot as a new wood turner I thank you
Thanks
Thank you so much, I learn more and more each time. Can't wait to try turning.
Really enjoyed the different styles of bowls. Thanks Greg
Thanks
Great video. I loved the one element per bowl concept. I turn a lot of smaller bowls and they start to feel pretty boring. Adding some carving and filler helps to mix it up more. Thanks for sharing.
keeps imagination going thinking what you'll do to it.
As always this was another very informative and helpful video. Seeing your technique for engaging the end/lips of bowls was especially helpful for me. I'd been struggling with getting a nice "safe" and reliable start with the bowl gauges... if that makes sense.

Keep showing us more! I'm an amateur Turner.. I would love to someday be as talented as you.
I've been turning about a year, never thought to re-turn the tennon, but I will be from now on. Thanks.
Makes a difference
I’d like to see your other decorations to!

Yes! Do more on the design aspect. I'm not very artsy, much more concrete in my thinking.
Maybe in future.
great videos thank you,so much imformation,a joy to watch and learn
Thanks
You are an amazing educator. Thanks!
Thanks

Thanks
Again a great video.
Thanks
More please, and thank you!
Thanks
Great job, must have been a hella work to put this together 👍
Thanks and yep.....
Awesome! Very informative video. I didn't see how you finished off the tenon area. Do you have a video with a good example for that area? Thank you!
I've shown that on several other videos. Check out the $20 bowls in $20 minutes towards the end.
wortheffort I will check it out. Thanks!

Just keep it outa the hair. You'll pull clumps getting it out.
Just wondering if you have a video on the push cut that is used to finish the backside of the bowl. Is there an alternative way to finish the back side without doing a push cut?
Jason Holman lots of videos. You can use any cut you want. Just have to accept consequences. Check out my 4 cuts video.
Great vid thanks a bunch for sharing!
Thanks
Once again an inspiring video.

Thank you again for a great video! How long does it take you to finish a bowl (turning+sanding)?
Just turning time it's not much, I've gotten faster over the decade. But turning is the least time consuming part of this.

Do you make the tenons oversized and the recesses undersized to allow for triming ? It seems otherwise I could wind up with to small a tenon or too large a recess for the chuck. Thanks a bunch!

Figured you'd be in Portland right about now. Is your dad there?
No, too rich for my blood. SWAT is in a few months. It's drivable and much less.

Wet sanding is a traditional method. Try it with the oil you'll finish with instead of water.

Not Mopac but a hwy nonetheless. It's what I could afford.
