Brian: Your approach, of beginning with the most basic analysis of a subject and then building on it until the more complex actions are made clear, is so valuable. It is one thing to mimic certain actions, but is truly freeing to understand the dynamics involved. Thank you.
thank you for taking the time to share what you know. you have a knack for teaching very clear and easy to understand. thank you again, you have another student.
Once again, excellent video Your are very good at 'splaning' things for us newbies Keep the great videos coming...please Liked the blooper at the end... Even pros make mistakes
Brian -- This was another excellent exposition on the theory of woodturning. As with your other videos, this one excelled because you did such a good job explaining why certain cutting techniques work better in certain situations. Like most turners, I was taught how to make certain cuts, but it was never explained why the how worked. For example, when making a cove cut on a spindle, I was taught to begin with the flute closed (a narrow cutting angle) and to roll the flute open as I got to the bottom of the cove (a wide cutting angle). The technique worked on spindles. It doesn't work so well in the edge of a bowl blank. Your explanation of why cutting a cove starting with a closed flute and ending with an open flute works also explains why the same technique doesn't work on face work -- but it does explain how to make a cove cut on face work. Which is why your series of videos should be required viewing for new turners. Most of us can figure out the how once we understand the theory. Without an understanding of the theory, someone has to teach us the how for each and every cut we might want to make.
Thanks, Brian! Your videos are well done and comprehensive ... I appreciate them. I tend to think of the cutting position of the flute as either open or closed, but narrow/wide works just as well ... still gets the point across.
Gerald Jensen Interesting point. I had not thought about open/closed being tied to wide/narrow cutting angles for gouges. I decided to go with "cutting angle" because I can apply it to tools without a flute as well, skews for example.
Great approach to teaching essential concepts and complimentary to what a handful of others are offering on RUclips. I am focusing on box making and have found much to work with in these videos, including those you'd think would be of more interest to someone turning bowls..... You show a bigger picture, great conceptually - Fills in some gaps
Josef Roesler I cannot think of any one that I would like to be compared to more, as Richard is not only a master of the trade, but also Gentleman. I was fortunate enough to run video for Richard in 2012 at the AAW Symposium, just a few feet away whilst he turned-tell me that is not a treat. About a year later he gave me demo advice before my first live demo.
Brian Havens Obviously I was on target. So were you. I actually did a skew peel today after watching your video on it, I was scared to do it after watching him do it.

An excellent tutorial Brian. Answering many vital and important questions regarding presenting the tool to the work. Great job.
Take care
Mike
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. As a relatively new turn this type of information is extremely helpful.
Great stuff. I can see me watching this a lot as u continue my quest to turn a corner when woodturning

Another day at the school of Brian. Thank you!
What an excellent well thought out and presented video - thank you

Txs Brian for this excellent explanation!
And then it hits you why you "roll the tool" to cut coves and beads! Outstanding explanation.
Fantastic explanation. Thank you.
Excellent. very good. From Brazil
Brian, can you enable adding subtitles to this video?
AlexanderTES thank you so much, Alexander! And many thanks to Brian of course!
Спасибо!!!
Dude, you teach like Raffan, where'd that come from?

''Nice
Back drop is everything. Can you do something about the ugly exposed ducting insulation that takes away some of your beauty?
Yes But Brian isbetter
