At the start of the video I thought - this won't end well, at the end of the video I was thinking - that looks brilliant I must try that! Well done, you are a master.
Waste not. Yay, please keep using scraps. If everyone would just realize that almost nothing needs to go to the garbage dump. I have been watching your videos since you started, and I really love your channel. Please continue to make great, simple videos. Cheers, from Tacoma Washington USA 😎
Great plywood bowl! I notice on your RM Woodturning medallion you put into the center of the back side Carlisle, UK. My family is from there, Udale and Wigton. I need to make a trip across the pond and do some family research.
Beautiful outcome. I just want to mention one thing, the general consensus out there is that carbide tools need to be used horizontal on the trest and presented as strictly a scraper, that is a fallacy beyond all belief. Drop your handle and tilt the tool out of 45 and cut on the inside or the supported side of the Carbide tip and you can cut much like a bowl gouge if you use the principle of 45° angle presented to the wood much like you would with a hand plane. You will be presenting the tool in a manner that will slice the wood versus scrape the wood and leave a terrible finish right off the blade. It’s amazing how nice of a cut you can get if you present that tool in the proper manner. It works great with the square and round tip, meaning the square with the radius corners, not so much with the absolutely square tip, it can be done, but you gotta be very careful with that because if you get the unsupported side of the tip into the wood, it’s instant catch, although that is the same with any other tool that you’re using. Watch Glenn Teagle. He is the only person I know that is teaching that technique on the Internet. I have been doing it for years especially on things with a lot of varied grain and end grain or when turning wood, air, wood, air etc. it is so much easier and efficient and fun to turn using a slicing cut. I use my conventional couches a lot, but under some circumstances the carbide cutter used at an angle like that is the most efficient tool you can use in my opinion. And I just turned the tip maybe once every 10 days and I don’t have to sharpen anything for a month, or I just replace the tip with a different one and sharpen the old one
Nice job just found your channel about to watch though whole load videos get some tips and advice. Am just getting started in wood turning myself. Any advice would be appreciated. I believe i seen carbide tools can i ASk what brand u use?? I bought cheap set carbide not sure if there up to scratch though 👍🏴 Ps am about 40 mins over the border from u in Dumfries
Welcome aboard the wood turning journey. Carbide tools do have a place with epoxy resin and other non traditional materials, but I just can’t get to grips with them on natural wood. I find that carbide tears the fibres rather than cutting them, so I’d always use traditional gouges. Hope you enjoy the videos.
Great video, thank you again for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
2nd time watching this video. This bowl is crazy good!
Glad you enjoy it! (Again 🤣)
beautiful. I love the variation of colors in the bands. ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very interesting
I think so too!

Well done, you are a master.
Glad you enjoyed it! I went through very similar emotions too!

So true! Every scrap has a purpose and the challenge of creating something is exciting.
Thanks for sharing. That turned out great. Full View and Like 👍
Thanks so much! It was a bit of a monster turn.
What a great outcome! It looks like an old fashioned ceramic bowl finished in brown and tan glazes. Wonderful!
Thank you. It’s the widest bowl that I’ve made on my lathe and it took about 5 hours to turn!
Always amazed how you take scrape wood and make something useful and beautiful from it!
My motto is that it’s not waste until we call it that. Every scrap has a purpose.
Plywood bowls are very cool in my opinion. I always enjoy all the lines and character of plywood bowls.
There is something so satisfying about working with a material that should not be a bowl.
Pretty bowl. I did a plywood bowl many years ago. This one looks much nicer than mine. Well done.
Thank you very much!

There are plenty of Armstrong’s in Cumbria, a great legacy of the boarder reivers

Gouges not couches, Siri is drunk today! Lol
Thank you very much for the direction. I have just subscribed to Glenn's channel. Definitely some interesting content. 👍👍👍
How long will the glue hold the layers stick together?
Hopefully forever! It’s still stuck after 6 months, so fingers crossed 👍
Should have been tool rest and tilt the tool tip at a 45 degree angle
Just watching those videos by Glenn now. Makes sense the more I think about it!
Beautiful. Where do you get your logo insert from?
I make them myself using a laser engraver. Thank for watching 👍
