Grain Direction - supporting the cut

[@jerrybridges584]

Excellent description of how to follow the grain. I can see how to cut with the grain when turning a bowl. Like the other gentleman said, I will watch this several times to make sure I am cutting in the correct direction.

I've never seen anyone, including paid professional turners, explain grain "fundamentals" as well as you. Many thanks. Stevio

Thanks Walter, a very useful and informative video. I have been turning for three years and can't be reminded too often about the issues you covered. Thanks again for sharing I like your style of instructing its so easy to follow.

Thanks for your feedback.

Every new turner (and some of us older turners) needs to see this video!!!! Great video, instructional and well done.

[@mikenco]

Thank you Walt! This video helped me more with Bowl Turning than any other I've seen so far!!

[@yoda2000675]

Excellent advice. I just tried to turn my first bowl and went in the unsupported direction; which explains why it was so rough!

[@MD-en3zm]

Excellent video - just subbed. You clearly know what you are doing and explain things very clearly.

Thanks Walter, I'm a complete noobee. Not long received my new lathe. Watched loads of vids on turning and got bit confused about uphill and down hill cutting. You cleared up a lot of headaches for me. appreciated..keep them coming.

[@craigl.mcallester9610]

Thanks for a simple explanation to a complex problem!!

[@donbomer5630]

Great video Walter. I'm a GnuBee turner and I've watched a number of instructional vids over the past months. This is one of the best. Very good explanation of whys and why nots.

[@josephwise485]

Thanks, you made it very clear on why cuts are made the way they are.

Thanks Walter, you give a great demonstration on grain direction. It makes much more sense to me now, cheers

[@PeranMe]

Great stuff, some really good advice here, and not least clear explanations on WHY to cut one way or another! Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for this demonstration Walter, it was very helping.

WOW - great video - This is one I will watch a few times to really grasp it!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Excellent, Walt. I think I will incorporate turning a small bowl from a 2x4 pine square into my basic bowl turning instruction. Looks like the fastest way for a student to understand cutting with the grain on a bowl.

[@waltwager]

Mike, Enjoy watching your videos. Going to Portland?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Yes. I am doing 4 demos and plan to spend time in Alan Zenreich's booth to help support Live Virtual demos. How about you?

[@waltwager]

I’ll be there and look forward to meeting you at one of your demos. I’ve applied to demo in 2019.
