Hi Ron, This is absolutely NOT a bad idea and I hope you have not thrown the spoon you were sharpening out. I think if you make the bevel on the back of the spoon very much longer say at least 1/3rd of an inch or longer to give you a very much shallower attack angle this idea would work! Just check out some of the gouges which are roughly the same width as your spoon, you will see if you are a learner and observant the sharpened ‘back’ or convex part of the gouge has a really pretty long ares that is sharpened to allow such thin fine or great wood removal. one thing you might have to do is to cover or layer the two sides of the spoon with wood to give it strength and to stop the spoon gouge from wearing a hole through your hand! I would love to here if you are going to try this again on the same or maybe several other spoons you can get cheaply, at least to start. I would advise you use a forge or a large tipped gas torch to bring at least the bowl and thin part of the spoon up to a cherry red, just as is done with all gouges and knives and quench it in a small tray of oil or into water. this hardens it. I am not talking from experience but check out any knife or hand made gouge made from a solid billet of steel in a forge, and you will see the two stages at the end of the finished item where the two heating and cooling phases are used and details may be explained. You will not find this holds an edge as well as the other much harder and carbon steel rich ‘proper’ gouges, but it will do the job. OR - You may want to leave the spoon alone after the first heating and quenching in which case it will be extremely hard, though still not as hard as the tool steel normally used for your other gouges. One bit of advice is NOT to let the edge get red or even not to get any colour in it at all as this will have altered the hardness and the edge may chip while you grind it and or as you use it. No matter how many times you have to keep dipping it into water even every ten seconds or less, remember the grinder is probably the only way to sharpen this at the very hard stage. The thing is you have everything to gain and nothing to lose in trying, as long as you make the sharpened side of the bowl of the spoon very much more flatter. I have subbed you OK! Good luck and please tell me how you get on? PLEASE? Take care mrbluenun
Ron Calverley It is a while since I last viewed any videos on it so the details escape me so you might want to check out the hardening and annealing process and where it comes in the sequence of things. I seem to recall you can only do any extra shaping work after the hardening if you use power tools grinders that is, as this is the case for sure with tool steel. And trying to file it by hand and your file will simply skate off, though it might be slightly different with stainless.
Great to watch a video in which the great idea doesn't work. It gets tiring to see success after success. Thank you for a glimpse of reality, my friend! Now to watch part II.....
It's not only a good idea, I know many carvers who have been doing this for decades. The problem isn't with the idea, it's with your design, and maybe with your sharpening. There is no such thing as steel that you can't get razor sharp. It may need to be sharpened every twenty minutes, but it will be sharp.
But we Aussies would have said our unofficial motto..."you had a go" or to me more precise, " 'Ave a go, ya mug" and that's good..meaning if you don't at least try out something, you will never know if it worked or not. I have had no success in a lot of things in the workshop...but at least the idea was there.
Hi Ron, I revisited this after some thoughts came to me, late one night when the insomnia was in full swing... It may not have been good in the situation you used it, but on a lathe! It has a similar profile to a roughing gouge (?) and they sure work! It's just where you present the wood to the cutting edge, not from below, but from above!
omg I laughed so hard at the end. Reminds me of something I would do/say. Its refreshing to see people try something and not hit it out of the park every time. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Simon, Nope! Never saw your spoon. I'm not much into antiques, although I do see one every time I look in the mirror, lol. Take a look at Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html :)
That's funny! I saw you second attempt and was suitably impressed. I think part of the challenge is getting an edge on stainless. I was looking at your videos to get a cheap alternative to a crook knife. I'll subscribe to your channel and see what else you get up to! Simon
By my looking at the title I really thought you had made it. I had to watch it all the way through to understand it didn't work for you. Haha. I love your honesty. Best video I have seen on RUclips made me grin for hours.
Hey buddy. This is not a bad idea. It will work if you grind the taper on the top instead of the bottom edge. Regrind it and try again. I have one that I have used carve the hollow in wooden spoons and other projects. It cuts fine but I had to add a handle because with the original it wanted to bend when cutting. You want to slope your cutting edge a little more also witch decreases the ability to hold an edge as long but makes it glide through the wood when sharp. You can experiment with that angle to see which gives you the best result. But a few licks with a stone and it is sharp again. Don’t give up my friend, it wasn’t a failure just a learning experience.
Hi Ron,I made a gonzalez style tool using a six inch nail ,hammered and fashioned then honed, finally a handle put on it,it works just as good as a shop bought one,the spoon idea,great,just put an handle on it and it should give you more pushing power,hone and strop the inside as well cheers malc
LOL. Nice video to watch. Looking forward for the next episode where you improve this carving spoon. With a successfull finish this time. And the same amount of laugh
hahahaha I love your comment ...anyway, the spoon is always made with softer steel and you can use it to join two metals similar as solders but not for the cutting or scraping. Another thing, you haven't lost your time, many people benefit from this video. I saw your channel and you are an amazing guy...God bless you, would be nice to have more people like you.
That "knife" you have is called an Abegglen Detail Knife, and it looks like it might be one made by Pfeil, they work well for clock making and for getting into tight spaces. Great company and tools. Thanks for sharing your concept.

Hey thanks! Usually people comment to say thing like "stupid" lol. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
At the start of your video you show some Flexcut tools, Flexcut produces a set of two curved knives, left and right hand. I found them excellent for spoon carving, the price was reasonable too, especially when one considers the enjoyment of wood carving.
you can see temper colors while you grind....not that it is good steel or able to be hardened at home but these indicate softening of the metal due to over heating. also steepness of grind will make it less keen. Had you had a steel of tool quality it may have worked. worth a try though... good video
it was not a stupid idea the angle for sharpening could have been steeper and try carving green wood ,that's what you use for spoons anyway,,keep at it.
I'm glad to have put a smile on your face. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
I would've cut the two sides off of the spoon bowl. Would make a decent shallow bend spoon knife with a concave inside curve. Probably too bendy though.
I'm sure someone must have said it, But Stainless Steel (Especially Unknown) Is picky about tempering, Best option would be to buy a Pipe and cut it, I've done that one before. Great experiment!
Nothing wrong with the idea. Just regrind the angle and try to use it on softer or green wood. As far as people recommending hardening the steel. You wont get very far with trying to harden that type of steel at home. If you want to do that you would need to make the whole thing out of a different steel. Like a high carbon steel. The other thing is it will still rust. Stainless literally means it will stain less.
I think this would have worked had you made the bevel shallower as well as honing both sides of the blade. A cool idea - and I don't think you were that far off fm making it work...!
Happy to put a smile on your face :) I tried it again and I had somewhat better results. Please view “The Homemade Carving Spoon/Gouge - Update” ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html

Hi Jeff. Yes, most of what I remember best is from my mistakes lol. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
Might help if you use a cheap chinese chisel (3-4 $ per set -Dexter) and turn it in spoon gouge. From experience it holds edge for long - good quality steel
Only thing that made this to go wrong was the angle and widh of your cutting edge on the spoon. Sharpen it into 15-23-degree angle and it should work. To improve it eaven more, make it 1-1.5 inch wide.
your bevel is on the wrong side and too steep also this will work if you temper it in an oil quench at least it would harden the steel to the proper range for woodcutting loved the video ill be trying this the right way
I think, it would have worked if you bend it a little, cut off some of the edges making it narrower and, bringing a sharper edge. It could just be the video but the sharpening angle looks shallow.
This very well could work, I just don't think you did enough research before attempting, no offense that is, but if inexperienced you can find many good ideas on how to make your own gouges, but I definitely encourage you to retry with a little more research you could have a fine had tool!
Thanks Gary, for watching and taking the time to comment. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
I just finished making a spoon gouge and mine sharpened up nicely. I used an old soup spoon because I needed a wide gouge. Just like my other chisels I put the bevel on the outside. Sorry no pictures
Hi Jeff, Possibly your soup spoon was made of a metal that could be better sharpened than mine too. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html

i was about to suggest that , the angle and direction of the sharp side is very effective
Tighten up the curve and sharpen both sides, aka copy off the smart kid, put a pop riveted wooden handle on it.
Lol bruh wood carving tools are not meant to be Sharpen from inside
it was not a stupid idea the angle for sharpening could have been steeper and try carving green wood ,that's what you use for spoons anyway,,keep at it.

+Ron Calverley oh I just seen it exactly what I ment hehe thanks keep up the cool videos
Hi use a file to draw cutline on steel, it is much easer then:) great video, regards from Poland 🇵🇱
Thanks for the tip!
Only thing that made this to go wrong was the angle and widh of your cutting edge on the spoon. Sharpen it into 15-23-degree angle and it should work. To improve it eaven more, make it 1-1.5 inch wide.
I tried it again and I had somewhat better results. Please view “The
Homemade Carving Spoon/Gouge - Update” ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
Isn,t that stuff to soft for wood carving? Is it possible to make it harder ?
amazing, i love it😱

your bevel is on the wrong side and too steep also this will work if you temper it in an oil quench at least it would harden the steel to the proper range for woodcutting loved the video ill be trying this the right way
Thanks for watching and commenting Chris. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
Increase the outside bevel,and add a inside bevel. I believe you'll have some success then.

No it will work.
Sharp inside curve.
Or.
Make flat edge. It's work 👍👍

Come on man. 😂 Don't give up. Make another video with a new 🥄 spoon. I would watch it.

You would need a spoon made of high carbon steel or better to make a good gouge.

I think, it would have worked if you bend it a little, cut off some of the edges making it narrower and, bringing a sharper edge. It could just be the video but the sharpening angle looks shallow.
This very well could work, I just don't think you did enough research before attempting, no offense that is, but if inexperienced you can find many good ideas on how to make your own gouges, but I definitely encourage you to retry with a little more research you could have a fine had tool!

Title of the video should be “How to ruin a perfectly good tea spoon “😂😂
Yes, haha! Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
304 stainless can not hold an edge it rolls over. more than likely what that spoon was made of.

Nice effort Ron! Better look next time,!

Your bevel is on the wrong side :3 Oops.
No it's not.
Yeah the problem is that the stainless steel used for spoons is a very low quality and wont hold any kind of edge.
Best laid plans of mice and woodcarvers or should I say metal carvers?
Thanks Gary, for watching and taking the time to comment. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
Metal was weakened by letting it get too hot on the grinder, spraying water would've helped. Seeing blue on metal is not a good sign

I’m sure you can figure out a way the blame the other guys. You can do anything you set your mind to.
Thank you for commenting. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
Not a stupid idea, maybe needs a little more sharpening at a greater angle perhaps.

LOL at least you were brave enough to share the stupid idea Ron :)
I just finished making a spoon gouge and mine sharpened up nicely. I used an old soup spoon because I needed a wide gouge. Just like my other chisels I put the bevel on the outside. Sorry no pictures
Hi Jeff,
Possibly your soup spoon was made of a metal that could be better sharpened than mine too. Take a look at “Part 2” I had somewhat better results. ruclips.net/video/CPbEzqujyWM/видео.html
