We love making the videos. Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for the congrats too. Can't believe we've achieved it in such a short space of time. Thanks to all our subscribers. Hope you continue to enjoy watching our channel.
I agree with Frank …. Your videos have shown how versatile the carbide tools are! I started out with a couple of carbide tools and until you came along, I felt that I was not really turning. Since watching your videos I have purchased a set of carbide tools and I’m starting to learn how to properly use them. I don’t really understand why wood turners are so negative about the carbide tools. The only thing that it can be is they have never watched your videos to see that they are much more than scrapers! Thank you Glenn🤠🇨🇱
Thank you Randy. That really does mean so much. It really surprises me of how much negativity there still is about carbide tools when they are just another Woodturning tool in our armoury. I guess the problem now is there are rather a lot of well-known turners that have spent quite a few years now telling people that carbide are just scrapers and that you can’t get a good finish from them. They can’t deny what I am showing and probably feeling gutted that they didn’t take the time to learn how to use them properly. I’m just really happy that I am able to help people in doing their Woodturning and getting the best out of their carbide tools. I still think we should start a carbide revolution. 😆
@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 I don’t know why people can’t support both! I love my spindle roughing gouge. I have a cheap skew chisel and parting tool that I sharpen on a wet wheel and diamond card. I really don’t want to have to spend the money to sharpen a bunch of traditional tools ….. That was the main reason I became interested in the carbide tools as soon as I started turning. I really think that a couple of years from now they will be accepted more widely 🤠🇨🇱
Hi Paul. Glad you are enjoying the videos. There's so much you can do with Carbide Woodturning tools. People just want to write off Carbides as scrapers. They can do much more than that. Hopefully I am getting it out there as to what they can do. Keep watching. More videos to come. Happy turning.
Hi Glenn & Liza, really enjoyed the video. Gives me an idea on how to use up some wood scraps! That Yue wood sure looks like the wood from Caragana trees that a lot of the farmers plat for wind breaks in Alberta & Saskatchewan. Got a question on your wood handles and the Farrell’s do you make them or buy them? Thank you and keep those videos coming 👍
@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 Hi Glenn, sorry I should have been more clear on my question. I was talking about the Aluminum ones, thanks again, Wayne
@@waynenickoleff9041 the aluminium ones I make myself and for myself only. They are not for sale. If you are based in the UK, have subscribed to my channel and enter the giveaway, you may be in for a chance of winning one.
I love all your videos, and especially your expertise with carbide tools, which I started using nearly exclusively 2.5 years ago. But when you started posting videos, I learned that I could do SO MUCH more with them. I honestly had never before seen anyone use them as one would a traditional chisel, unless they were using Hunter tools. Love your approach, your videos and your tools. Wish they were available in the USA. If you have a moment, I'd like to ask (2) questions. First, I can't always tell if you are using green or dry wood. The top you just made appears to be made from a green piece of yew. If it is, do your worry about distortion and/or cracking after the turning is complete, especially since you've included the pith? Secondly, I love the combination Face Shield/Respirator that you wear. Can you kindly tell me the make and model? Thanks for all you have done for the turning community...................... Frank
Hi Frank, thank you for your feedback. This makes it all worthwhile. That’s why I started to put these videos out for, as there is no one putting out what carbide tools can actually do. My argument is that they are 100% not scrapers, unless they are used to scrape. The skew chisel is named by most as the best cutting tool, but when used to scrape, it is just another scraper. It’s not what the tool is called, but how it is used that matters. Thank you for watching my videos. The wood I use is kiln dried. I very rarely get wet wood. The yew I was turning with is part seasoned and was cut last year, bought from Snainton Woodworking Supplies here in the UK and £20 for 10kg. The Respirator is from Axminster Tools. It’s on their website. Happy turning and I hope you continue on our journey with us, watching our videos.
@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 Thank you so much for your detailed response. Because of you, I have upped my game at the lathe, and I will continue to enjoy watching your work. Thanks also to Liza for the video work. She does a great job, and I enjoy hearing her banter with you....................... Frank
‘Top’ video Glenn&Liza - sorry for the pun, yew I couldn’t resist it & another. 😂🤣
Thanks Peter. Lol.
Thank you for the great demo. Congrats on the 1K subs.

@@randyrockwell6136 I do hope so too, but not until people start using it other than for scraping.
Another great video 👍 I’m beginning to realise how good carbide chisels are Thanks Glenn and Liza.

Thanks again guys. Another success
It doesn’t just spin It flies. Safe. Landing.
Hi Jonathan. It shot off. It left before I was ready.
Great video as always look forward to the next one thanks guys
Hi Alan. Thanks for watching. Glad you are enjoying them. Keep watching. Plenty more to come. Happy turning.
Thanks guys!
You are welcome Jim. Thanks for the idea. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I nearly passed out holding my breath as the spindle got thinner and thinner. So exciting! 🙄
Hi Don. It was just a shame it jumped off a second before I thought it would. I only looked away for a second. Thanks for watching. Happy turning.

I make all my wood handles myself. The ferrel's are cut from 22mm copper tubing. Brass can snap but copper has a bit of give.
