Just rewatched this series, Lyle, and it is excellent. Very clear and understandable total process. I particularly like the emphasis on design and alignment in preparation and the meticulous finish turning to uniform thickness.

This is one of the best videos that I've seen showing the bevel cut. The closeups "looking through the air" really make it clear. Thanks for a great lesson!
I have two pieces of crotch that I've been delaying work on until I feel confident to start. This demonstration has filled in a lot of the voids in my knowledge, especially the use of the gouge, with regard to NOT cutting into the thick part of the waste-wood. I think I'll practice on an easy piece of wood before I try the crotches tho'! Thanks very much. Nik
Thanks for watching Nic. The RUclips videos are only small pieces of the puzzle. A better learning tool would be my Bowl basics DVD. You get the continuity of the whole process. A crotch is no harder than a regular bowl. Go For It!!

Thank You, a great series. Your videos have taken the mystic along with the catches away from turning. Oh I'll still get em but hopefully not as much. Thanks

What a beautiful piece of walnut art! I may have to go back to my walnut stash. Mostly, I'm allergic to walnut so I leave it alone, but it is beautiful and finishes so well. As always I appreciated your instruction on how to get the most beauty from a turning.
I really enjoyed the series following each stage Lyle. The up close shots showing & explaining use of the bevel were excellent. It was a privilege watching & learning from a Master of his craft. Thank you for sharing & giving your time. As a 'greenhorn' turner I learned a lot. Regards ......... Geof (UK)
+AnkleBiter Woodworks Thanks for writing, There really was not much effort doing this bowl, no harder then any other bowl. I use this method for everything. It would take me less than an hour to do start to finish. The hard part was doing the shoot and editing to get you the info that is important to show.
+Lyle Jamieson I can certainly agree with the filming part extending the amount of time for everything. Was surprised myself when I started doing my own. Certainly enjoy those who take the time and effort to share. All of you have been what has kept my going during these 6 months I have been too ill to be in shop.
+Tom Stratton Thanks Tom, I will put it on the list for future clips. In my opinion the finishing was done in the video. It is the tool control that starts the ability to put a good finish on it. No torn out grain or tool marks that needs excessive sanding and sanding with sharp sandpaper is all it takes and any finish will look great.
A great series Lyle, and an absolutely superb piece at the end. Always such a pleasure to watch and learn from a master of his craft. Take care my friend Mike
Thanks for taking the trouble to answer Lyle. I remember watching you demonstrate the wood cut jig. I tend to grind free hand (Stuart Batty 40.40 grind) just for quickness, but I will try the Swept back grind again. I am a school teacher in England (woodwork) and often show the older students your videos ( they can't write 'Lyle' in the shavings that fly from the lathe, but have tried!)- so thank you once again, they are excellent. Finally, don't reply- but I want you to know your work has enriched our lives over the pond! All the best mate Paul
+Paul Haggett Hi Paul, SB grind will do a lot of things well but my grind is much more versatile. Even the 40-40 grind will work and save the tool life using a jig.
Tremendous series Lyle. The focus on planning was especially helpful and will help me move from let's see what happens to a more deliberate exploitation of the wood. Cheers, Gord
+Carl Jacobson Thanks Carl, Nice to hear from the RUclips master. Your pocket watch was a great project. I am even getting notice from your Q&A channel now, go figure??
Lyie, that was the best explanation of how "ABC" works and that visual explanation with the tool against the wood was perfect. The bowl turned out beautiful. I always thought that when part of the bark flies off the bowl is firewood. Thanks again for a fine video. Jim
+jim renderer Thanks for the feedback Jim, This was a time when I could have left the bark on. I had a hard time getting it off. But I like the effect when removed.
Thank you for your you tube videos! I had the opportunity to see you at the Florida symposium and it was excellent. This video series is great! Loved the details, and explanation of each step; I'm trying to do this now with maple and have watched this series over and over to digest it.
Thanks for the note Rex, Glad to be of some help. May I suggest you get a copy of my Bowl Basics DVD. 4+ hours of instruction. The RUclips videos only show parts of the picture. My DVD shows the entire process start to finish.
Great project for illustrating techniques -- and a beautiful outcome. Your explanation of iterative refinement of blank positioning to get the best balance of shape, grain pattern, and maximum use of material is the best I've come across. I fear, though, that starting with 4 x 10 blanks and ending up with 2 x 6 bowls may be in my future :-) Clyde
+Clyde Ulmer Hi Clide, I have said many times "This stuff grows on trees". It only hurts a little while when you waste off some wood. Go for the best not the biggest.
brushed up on this technique as I have a couple pieces of crotch mimosa to try out making a heart. Hope you're well Lyle - and hope you can make it to the Oregon Woodturning Symposium again sometime, sure enjoyed your talks and demos at the 2015 show.
Very nice., Lyle . . as expected. You said in an earlier reply you had a hard time getting the bark off. I'm guessing you tooled it off and refined with abrasives and I am also guessing you didn't use a potato peeler. Could you elaborate briefly? Or point me to a video where you explain your approach? Thanks for the lessons, --Joe
+Joseph Scarborough Thanks for writing Joe, The edge treatment is important on all vessels not just natural edge bowls. I will do a RUclips segment on it. Usually the bark just pulls off once you get the wall thickness down, sometimes all in one piece. This one was not coming off. I had to take a pair of pliers and break off some big chunks piece by piece. That left some jagged bark left on the rim I had to gently sand off with mostly drum sanders. I was careful not to dig into the wood wall. After all the bark was gone I re-shaped the edge to remove the sharp edges and round over the corners a bit and make it look consistent all the way around the rim.
+Ricc Havens Hi Ricc, I use Watco Danish oil, wiped off, to protect the wood, and buff it with hard carnauba wax. My work is usually non-functional and just for display. The trick to finishing is preparing the wood with good tool control and sharp sandpaper. After that any finish will work great.
+Paul Haggett Thanks Paul, When I started there were no jigs so I learned from David Ellsworth how to sharpen by hand. The grind I use is difficult to do by hand. I can still do it, but only when I dont have a jig available when Im traveling. That is pretty rare these days. The jig lets me use a very light touch on the grinder because it is the same angle set up as the previous sharpening. Repeat-ability means I save my tool life and grind off less metal compared to hand sharpening, even if you can get good at it The jig saves both time and money..
Thanks for writing, I use Watco danish oil. Any wiping varnish would do the same thing. I wipe it off while it is wet so I do not have to deal with build up or "finishing the finish". The shine comes from buffing with hard carnauba wax.
The entire series was well done. Easy to understand explanations and demonstrations. The finished bowl is spectacular as well.
+Gil Grace Thanks Gil, Nice to hear from you again.
12:02-12:12 was a perfect demonstration highlight, for me. Thanks.
