Thin bowls are one of the very reason I like spindle turning😂.. every time I try one they end up decorating my shop. Great video Mike,
Thanks 👍
Thanks Mike. It’s been awhile since I last saw you work. I’ll have to take a look for more of your recent videos. Take care
Thanks. You as well.
a lovely bowl. nice elegant shape.
Thank you very much!
Another very interesting 4 ways project. Very interesting to see the different take each of you has on this. I still need to watch Sam's video to see his take. It was kind of amusing to someone from the desert hearing the words, "... my shop humidity has gotten down to 21%" when we would be saying how humid things have gotten when the humidity gets up to 21%. 😀
😂Yeah, I did some military duty in Utah and was shocked that at 100 degrees I did not sweat and it was far more comfortable than the humid South at 90 degrees.
Thanks for sharing Mike. I appreciate the fact that thin is an exercize in skill and patience. I was pleased that you didn’t go super super thin but kept it too about 1 to 2 mm, a little more practical. That gives us less experienced turners something to strive too.
I really enjoy your style of turning and easy manner on the lathe Mike.
Thanks 👍
Great video Mike ….. Now on to Tomislav and Richard 🤠🇨🇱
Thanks, Mike! Love these 4 ways videos!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for continuing the 4 way challenges, I really appreciate it and learn something new all the time.
More to come!
A beautiful and functional object. The vacuum chuck does make life easier! Love the Four Ways, to see how each of you deals with the same idea in different ways and with different techniques. Thanks for another entertaining and instructive video.
Thanks so much!
Another great four way challenge. You four guys always do something interesting. Yours this month is no exception. Entertaining, educational, enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
More to come!
Impressive video Mike! And with much better results! A great tutorial to boot! Thanks for sharing.
Take carer, Dave
Thanks, you too!
Really appreciate how you explain everything you are doing as you go. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Glad all 4 of the demos were under an hour. I was able to watch them all in a row. I find that useful and fun.
Thanks for a great explanation. I've not thought about wetting the bowl as I turn. Great idea. Thanks for another fun, informative video.
Great to hear, Ken.
Hi Mike, having watched this 4 way I do not think I will be turning a thin bowl any time soon, unless it is by accident! I was pleased to see that you use Record Power chucks and gauges. My lathe, chucks, Cam Vac etc are all RP, I have also just ordered a Sabre 350 bandsaw, a 70th birthday present to myself. Most of what I have learned about turning has been by watching videos such as the 4 way series. Keep the videos coming. Thank you, Edward.
So pleased they have been helpful in your woodturning journey!
I've watched 3 of the 4 videos now and am learning something from each. The Bradford Pear really moves when thin. Tom's Ash moved very little. The wetting of the wood was a big take away from your method. This is something I will try. Just have Sam's video to go. Thanks for the 4-way series. I'm learning a lot from you guys.
Great to hear!
Nice bowl!! Well done. I really think the bowl is very thin.
Sam
Thank you very much, Sam! Wow, can you believe it has been a year?
I find it easier to make an entry cut and hollow out by running the lathe in reverse and cutting in the far side. Of course, the chuck must be locke on the spindle (and the adapter insert if used).
Thanks for sharing your way. Nice to have options.
Nice job as usual, Mike. I noticed, with great interest, the first gouge you were using. It appeared to be fairly blunt with a traditional grind (no wings). I've been experimenting with a similar grind and find I like it quite a bit. Makes real nice shavings.
@Ron_Radliff, that was a new Record Power BG with the factory grind. I did not like the grind and have since reground it.
Thank you guys.
Beautiful bowl Mike.
Thank you kindly
I use a leather strop 1.5 x 3 to support the wall. Runs smoothly, preventing vibration and heat build up. P.S.: Learning a lot from your challenges. Thanks to the four of you.
Thanks for sharing that tip.
Great job, nice bowl
Thank you! Cheers!
Yikes i've done that too thin and explode thing . Thanks Mike BTW i have a 3520C coming next week. My Jet crashed so i traded it in. Thanks for all the education n 4 way too
I know you will enjoy that big lathe! Safe turning.
I love this and all your videos, Mike, they are very informative. Regarding the homemade screw chuck holding a little too well: I've never tried it, but do you think lightly filing the threads would allow it to release more easily?
No. The strength comes from the friction of the wood blank against the wood backing plate of the wood screw chuck.
So I just subscribed and was wondering about my welcome gift?
Your prize is in the mail!

Thank you for sharing. What was the purpose of wetting the bowl? Thank you.
To slow the drying and wood movement.
Thank you Mike. Always enjoy your videos.
I always learn something from your videos. I am surprised that y’all 4 way-ers use spindle gouges lots on your bowls. I was taught this is a big no-no. I am a bit afraid to try.
Great point! Think of a spindle gouge as shallow fluted gouge. You do not want it to extend it as far over a tool rest as an equivalent sized BG. Which none of us did.
