Not only was this a really practical test for those gouges, but a good beginners tutorial on what they can be used for and how to best use them. I'm Looking forward to the spindle gouge try-out. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful, however, I must warn you, I don't class myself as a spindle turner lol 😀
Flipping neck Mike , you are costing me a fortune . I can't resist new tools. I have trouble with my grip (45 years joinary) so these my suite me better.
Sorry John, but they are pretty cool 😀
Excellent tool review and great tutorial on the proper use of each tool grind. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Carlos 😀
Hi Mike! Cheryl from Jacksonville FL..praise God no flooding no damage no injuries! Love the grain on that piece! Beautiful clock body maybe?❤😂
Thanks Cheryl, that's an interesting though and thank goodness you are all ok, looked like it got pretty rough over there!
Since I don't turn I've been curious about which tools you choose for different purposes. This was a fantastic introduction, and I finally get the difference between a pull cut and a push cut. Thanks, Mike!
Glad it was helpful Elisabeth 😀
I crochet items to sell and I switched to an ergonomic set about a year ago. It made all the difference in grip and stress on my wrist. I realize it's not the same kind of tension you deal with, but I think the shape of the handle should make a difference over the long run.
Mainly, it's great to see you trying new things, as always. Thank you for sharing!
If you and/or your wife fancy a scarf in Holton green as a "thank you" gift, let me know. ☺️
Thanks so much Cynthia, I certainly will 😁
Love your demonstration of your new tools -- as a thorough - going individual myself, I really appreciate your in-depth examination. Thank you so much!😊
You are very welcome Shelley 😀
Ooooh pretty new tools! Thank you Mike for showing then off. I can't wait for the other set.
I have to say that you would make a great teacher. Everything was calm and engaging.
See you next time!
Thanks Nikki, glad you think so because that's my day job, I've been a lecturer for the last 23 years 😀
So glad the new tools worked as advertised. Thanks for sharing Mike.
You are more than welcome my friend 😀
Yet again, a well presented, simple but precise video with all the information you need. Its nice to see new tools and someone testing them. Well done Mike.
Thank you very much Eoghain 😀
Nice. My arthritic hands might enjoy those. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for a great review!
Thanks my friend and you're welcome😀
Nice informative video. I like the testing of new stuff like this. Gives it a more reliable review than just reading posts online!
Glad you liked it William, they are fun to do 😀
Everyone loves new tools 😅 great demo Mike
Haha thanks Dale 😀
They look amazing.
Thanks Mark, they are 😀
its good to see something new, that's actually useful .
That's what I thought Michael 😀
Congratulations on your new tools, good teach=in. Margaret.
Thanks Margaret, glad you enjoyed it 😀
That "dovetail" you referred to there is what I use as a parting tool. The real slim carbide parting tool always wants to grab before I get deep enough to cut it. I find that dovetail you can cut all the way as long as you make the cut a little wider as you go.
Nice video as always. I like watching your videos on turning. There are only a couple turning channels I return to regularly and yours is a definite.
Wow! thanks so much Neal, I really appreciate that!! I will give the dovetail tool a go as a parting tool as like you my usual one gets caught up 😀
The amount of info you managed to cram in and freely share…I learned so much in this short video. Immediate like and subscribe from me. I really like the way you explain things in your project videos too, this video just sold me in particular b/c it wasn’t just a review of the tools in a general sense, but we got to see them used, you explained what each tool is for…you talked about sharpening…just…fantastic
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😀
Love the Tool set have to wait and see when they release them in Australia, great presentation Mike, looking forward to your next episode 👍😎
Thanks Brent, I've asked Record Power to let me know when they are 😀
@@MikeHolton Thanks Mike I will definitely invest in a set
Awesome demonstration on some new must haves. Lol keep up the amazing work. 👽
Thank you! Will do well I'll try anyway 😁
That new handle shape makes a lot of sense. Since I am not a turner, the most I can compare to is pens or markers that I use that have the same type of shape. I find that rounded triangular shape fit my fingers better, so it is interesting that the same shape fits the palm.
Yes you are right Susan, I wonder if the influenced the scientists that developed it? 😀
Very good video mate nice looking chisels look forward to the next instalment
Thanks Colin👍
Profile on those handles looks very nice. I can see how it would help it settle into position easily.
Thanks, they are pretty good! 😀
Hi Mike I am a record power addict already have a full set of chisles from them and I'm not buying any more,,,,well not this side of Christmas.I do like my crown carbide set 👍
Haha me too, not seen the crown carbide tools, I will have a look 😀
Great review. You also have a great bowl going. Can’t wait to see it completed.
Thanks Doug, this bowl may just get left for practice 😀
Always good to see sharpening techniques
Thanks 😀
Always like unboxing videos, especially yours. You sounded almost enthusiastic for a moment😂. Hope you have lots of fun with the new tools.
Haha thanks, I love trying new things 😀
Interesting take on the handle. Good looking tools
They are Eric, I was surprised how good they felt 😀
They look great Mike!
They are, thanks Louis 😀
They look very sturdy and built to last 👍
They are Vini, Sheffield steel 😁
I like the look of those tools Mike and like you I'm impressed by the 45° bowl gouge!! Great video 😊
You and me both! Thanks 👍
That was really interesting. I enjoyed learning more about the tools you use.
Thanks! Glad you found it interesting 😀
Great review Mike. They do seem like solid quality tools.
Thanks, they are, Record Power have been in business over 100 years 😀
Mike, always nice to get new tools! 😁 You definitely seem more comfortable with the 60 degree grind ….old habits huh?😂 cheers mate!😎
Haha indeed, it's like an old jumper, it just fits 😀
Good presentation, Mike!
Thank you kindly Tracy 😊
another informative and interesting guide, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Simon 😀
Nice looking tools especially the handles
Thanks Jim, the handles feel really good 😀
That was a fair and reasonable review. Those are interesting tools.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks Brendan, I'm just hoping they go on and make a 1/2 bowl gouge with longer handle 😀
Nice packaging, well thought out handles, impressive 45, great demo! Thanks for that Mike!
Joe CA
Thanks so much Joe! 😀
I can't really judge the tools, but Sheffield's been generally good at them for a while, now 😄 Those round slices of wood always remind me of a basic Bernard Matthews Turkey Roast, though 😅
Haha I know what you mean Nikki 😀
Nice demonstration. Thank you very much.
You are welcome! 😀
A very informative video Mike. I generally use the 60°grind on bowl gouges but to be honest I use the same gouge for most things which probably accounts for the number of catches I get. At least one per project. I'm gonna try the shorter grind and see how I get on with that thanks Mike for another great video.
Thanks Kev, you were pretty much the same as me then till I tested this, one gouge man lol 😀
Looks like great quality
They really are 😀
Congrats on your new tools. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
Thanks my friend, I'm sure I will 😀
Like the idea on the handles, worth looking at next time I am buying a gouge
They are pretty cool, I would love them to make a 1/2 heavy duty gouge version
Thanks for sharing this unboxing and demo!
Thanks for watching! 😀
Oooh, shiny new tools are shiny! ✨
Yes they are! 😂
That is nice to get new tools wow good for you 🎉🎉
Thanks Wendy, I'm a very lucky guy 😀
Looking forward to seeing the spindle set. Do need a new set lol.
Thanks, I will warn you, I'm not a great spindle turner lol 😀
Great tool review Mike have fun with them,
Will👍🙂
Thanks Will, I need to do the spindle set next and I'm a s##t spindle turner lol 😀
@MikeHolton you'll be great 👍
@@William_Kenny 🤣 you have way too much faith in me 😀
Hi Mike, It is nice getting new tools but mine are a bit longer in coming on saying that I have been looking at carbide tools. The handle shape is similar to the axe handles Carter & sons developed.
Thanks for showing the new tools. Till next time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Roy, they are I guess 😀
I wouldn’t mind trying out a set of those myself. Now that I finally set up the new lathe and am back to turning, I’d like to invest in some better gouges. I don’t have anything from record power. Over the years, I’ve seen you make some pretty spectacular stuff with their tools. Your work and word is good enough for me to trust the record power company. As always, be well brother…
Thanks my brother, they have been around for a very long time and I have never had one problem with any tool from them!
Thanks Mike great video
You are very welcome Stephen 😀
Thanks for the review.
My pleasure Jason ☺️
Nice handles. Wish you could get these in the US. I use the Irish grind on my bowl gouge. It's definitely hard to switch to a different grind when you get used to one. Nice review.
Thanks Tim, I'm pretty sure they will be in the US soon 😄
Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful Peter 😀
Very good review on some nice tools 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
New tools are always fun! Christmas a little early😂 Your bowl turned out beautifully❤ Thanks for sharing, Mike.
Thanks Mary, I do love playing with new tools 😀
@@MikeHoltonDo you think the Dovetail tool would work for cutting a groove to put an inlay in your bowl?
@@marybethhuson295 Hi Mary, turn it sideways then I guess it could but with it being a scraper it does have a slight angle on it but you could certainly make it work
Nice demo Mike
Thanks Ian 😀
I give your new tools 5 ASMR. Really like the sound of them in my headphones
Haha thanks 😀
Very informative. I've only got one bowl gouge so only one grind for me!
Haha, one is good enough 😀
Excellent review.
Thanks Alicia 😀
The 45 deg grind would be called a "bottom feeder" bowl gouge in the US due to the ability to traverse from the side to clean the bottom of a bowl. Some folks feel the 40-40 grind is the best. 40 deg bevel with 40 deg angle on the wings.
I am surprised how many folks at my local turning club have difficulty getting a smooth grind with simple bevels like the two gouges. This is why some folks only use carbide.
I made a jig for one of the club members for a large spindle roughing gouge to be able to hold the gouge at right angle to the platform, but she is just not able to get a consistent grind even with the jig.
Dave.
Thanks Dave, it does take a little practice but if you take your time it's not hard 😀. I've never heard the bottom feeder name before, great description!
Great information, thanks.
Glad it was useful David 😀
Here we go! 😮
😂
A good way to set your bench grinder is to get a marker pen and colour the bevel. With your hand roll the wheel backwards and if there’s any marker pen left on the bevel adjust the rest accordingly.
Thanks Wayne, I do that with my skews 😀
Fascinating 😊❤
Thanks Deborah 😀
Looking good Mike. Will it make you an even better Turner? Looking at the 1st practice using the new tools think there is hope. Cheers
Thanks Peter, I hope so, it has certainly widened my horizons! 😀
Very cool and nice tools.❤❤😊
I think so too, thanks Karen 😊
Hopefully available in Canada soon.
I don't think it will be long! 😀
Great info.
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Nice set of tools. I still havent mastered the traditional tools so use basically carbides
Thanks Gavin, I started off with carbides, they are just so easy to use 😀
You make it all look so easy. How many years have you been wood turning?
Thanks Keith, just 3 1/2 years 😀
@@MikeHolton I thought you'd been doing it for donkeys' years. I'm more than impressed.
@@keithbryan4968 Thanks! my wife bought me a lathe for our anniversary and I sort of got addicted lol
I was interested to see the simpler sharpening jig. Although I'm curious as to why that same setup wouldn't work for the old tools?
Thanks, I need a special jig for my usual gouge as the angles are not the same all the way around, it goes from 45 to 60 degrees
Interesting video Mike , but you have left me ever so slightly confused?.
I sharpen on a Robert Sorby pro edge and if I set that to 60degrees I'd not get anywhere near that angle. That looks closer to what I'd call 30 degrees which strikes me as a really shallow angle ?. my pro edge is indexed, with presets , of 90, 80, 60, 45, 35, 30, 25, 20 & 15. Just saying as I thought some people might have found that confusing?.
PS, I have that RP 3/8 bowl gouge, only with the older round handle and it's brilliant!. One thing you'll discover is the flute is quite deep and a bit narrower than most. This makes it far less aggressive so great for finishing cuts on large shallow bowls and platters.
Thanks Max, I have never used a pro edge so not really sure how it works. Record Power told me the angles and I can only presume they are correct. All the best, Mike
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers Alan 😀
Now I want a set. Maybe November? 🌞
Haha they may give you a discount at the show 😀
@@MikeHolton How well you know me 🌞
@@raydriver7300 🤣😅😂
Interesting set of tools. I assume they will be available on both sides of the pond in due course.
Yes I do believe it's pretty much a worldwide release on day 1 😀
its nice to know that you dont let the grind get you down lol
Haha very punny Debra 😀
Nice little set of tools. When can I expect mine to arrive? 😂
Haha just a few days after you order them lol 😀
I use a 40/40 grind as a ‘bottom feeder’ but have started to actually prefer using a scraper. Anyways, look like a nice set.
Thanks, I do like using the scraper as well but do find you get a better finish with a gouge 😀
@@MikeHolton Hi Mike, what is the power cap you are using? My current unit (the JSP power cap) is 4 years old at this point in time and things are starting to wear down on it a lot.
@@turningwiththewoods Hi there , it's the Powercap Infinity PAPR, you don't need to move to a face mask while sanding like the cheaper Paowecap. There is a link in the description to that one and the facemask I use which is amazing!
Who knew I would be interested in tools 🤭
Haha tools are cool 😎
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
It could be just a factor of the oak, but the first tool especially *sounded* sharper to me.
I think it's because there is a longer cutting surface 😀
What are the Canadian prices of that set you just featured......approximately
I think it's about $360 Canadian dollars 😀
Good afternoon.
I think he started promoting resins, tools, etc. and stopped being an artist.
But that's life. A business.
I think that is a little harsh, have you even seen my recent videos?
Mike is probably one of the best wood artists around at the moment and long may he continue .
Don't judge on just one video, Mike produces beautiful artistic pieces every week and mostly at his own expense and time.
@@William_Kenny Thanks Will 😀
@@robertrichards1840 Thanks Robert 😀
If these were provided to you for free or a discount (or "long term loan"), you need to mark the video as containing a paid promotion, and disclose this up-front. (Free or discounted products are compensation just like cash.) The copy in your description and video thumbnail reads like ad copy from Record Power, so I assume this was the case.
Really hoping your channel doesn't go the same way as so many other RUclipsrs and end up as a string of paid promotions.
If you bought these with your own money, no discount, you may want to include that in the description up-front to distinguish this from so many other videos. That's an unfortunate need today given how many RUclipsrs are here just to get free stuff.
Thanks, that's a good point and is now in place. I understand your feeling on the promotional side but you need to understand that running a channel like mine is not cheap. I get some revenue from RUclips but it does not cover all the costs. The rest I have to fund from my own pocket.
With regards to paid promotions I have only ever had one where money changed hands which was to do a one minute ad for the Woodworkers Guild of America. These tools were sent to me by Record Power as they wanted my opinion on what they were like, I decided to make a video as I felt it me be interesting to a lot of people. All my major equipment, lathe, bandsaw etc I bought with my own money.
In short, please don't hate me for wanting to build a career from a hobby I love.
@@MikeHolton Not hating at all. Disclosure is really important, though, both for legal reasons and for credibility. RUclips requires a minimum of the promotion badge, but EU and many others laws also require a clear statement up-front in the video in audio and in the description text.
It really depends upon where you go with it. Many channels have turned into just constant chains of reviews or demos of free stuff they got. Some channels where folks remodel part of their house end up 100% covered by those companies through supplies. Money doesn't need to change hands because in-kind goods are compensation. The companies know that just sending them to RUclipsrs to "try out with no obligations" will result in videos, because humans like getting free things, and will unconsciously optimize for more free things over time.
I know lots of others hate this as well, but you could also consider things like patreon. Not sure how many subscribers you need for that to be effective, though.
@UCrMNKFc2T_k%F0%9F%98%839JVaW6Cdo88Q Thaks and I do appreciate what you say. By the way, I do have a Patreon page if you would like to join lol 😄
Stuff the tools, that packaging is cool.
It is 🌞
Haha I was thinking that 😛
Absolutely zero interest in turning tools, but you did at least turn a useful bowl. Nice grain and sturdy.
That's fair enough lol 😀
