Thank you Sir ... enjoy your turning journey.
68 year lady learning , new teacher insisted in me using this tool! So glad I had some info from your youtube.. watching again..class tomorrow.
Excellent class from you this morning. I thank you very much for the videos. Being a new turner, these are extremely helpful to me. Thank you again Mike. Sincerely, Keith.
You're very welcome Keith glad you enjoyed the Live and found it useful.
I recently bought a mini lathe for my shop. I haven't turned since high school, over 40 years ago. I was never taught the proper way to use the tools in my high school shop class, so your videos and those of others like you have really helped me improve my confidence and skills.
I wish I had a mate like you that could teach me hands on, Great video
😁😁 thanks appreciate that.
That's what I was just saying! LOL!
Thanks Mike. You’re very good at demonstrating and explaining in simple terms. I’m a beginner and you’re videos have really helped me.
Thanks for your kind words Tim, much appreciated.
I watched the original series of a few years ago, and here I am three years later still watching and learning. Part of my problem is I go weeks between lathe time and so forget the techniques. So you are bringing it home Mike. Thanks as always
Hi Peter and thank you for your very kind words and support I really do appreciate it.
I am learning a lot. Please continue.
Glad you find some user in my videos Karsten.
Mike I hope you are riding out this difficult time in good health. Cheers from Australia.

Hi Mike, This has been the most useful for me of the series so far. I don't use a spindle gouge very often so these tips will hopefully improve my technique. Hwyl, Huw
Glad to be of service mate, and thanks again for watching.
Hi Mike....the spindle gouge is my go to gouge...I love it...very informative video as always....hope that you survived the storms without any problems...its been bad enough down here...take care mate...All the best.....Andy...
Thanks Andy, and we were very lucky here as I was no where near as bad as some poor folk experienced in a lot of places. Take care mate.
Very nice demonstration Mike. Excellent examples of which grind angle to use both for finial and interior box work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Glen appreciate your kind words and watching mate.
Thanks Mike. Great reminder.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Joseph.
Thanks Mike. Another great lesson xx
Thanks for watching and commenting Val.
An excellent update, Mike. Great practical example of the ABC we were talking about this afternoon, Angle, Bevel and Control. Get it right and your tools start to sing like Bryan Terfel on a really good day! Take care, Graham
Thanks Graham appreciate it mate, enjoyed our chat too ... as always.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you for your videos!
My pleasure and thank you for watching.
Brilliant video, Thanks 🙏 ☘️
Thank you very much appreciated.
Excellent, Mike. In my early days I experienced numerous mysterious and violent catches during hollowing; and here you illustrated why. I learned the hard way. Thanks again. Bernard.
Thank you Bernard ... I had the same experiences as you when starting out .... and sometimes still do 😃
Thanks for watching ad usual
Cheers
Mike
Very informative thanks Mike
Glad you liked the video snd thanks for watching.
Yet again fantastic
Thank you very much will William.
Thank you for the tutorial.
Glad you liked it Nathan and thanks for watching.
Useful video Mike! Good luck!
Thanks Aleksey.
Thanks Mike... I need all the help I can get.
Glad you found the video useful Maui.
Absolutely a great lesson for all of us. One thing, I use the 1/4 Sorby gold spindle gouge for my small boxes for detail and pen work, it is super for that small detail. A Master's teaching, thank you!!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Thanks for sharing Mike
My pleasure and thank you for watching Steven.
I think it is absolutely brilliant that you are doing this series, I hope you cover hollowing tools also, because I plan to get into that soon.
Thank you Ireally appreciate you saying that.
I have done several videos on the various hollowing tools that I have gathered over the years, and now have the Simon Hope ones which I find excellent ... in so far as they are extremely efficient and have a very shallow learning curve.
@@MikeWaldt Sadly it looks like I cannot purchase Simon Hope products, They cannot be shipped to the US.
You can try OliversWoodturning he stocks Simon's Tools and does ship to the US I believe.

Great video novice as well as seasoned turners benefit from your videos, sometimes you might need a refresher and you deliver that !!
Thank you ronnie appreciate you saying that mate and thanks for watching.
Great video Mike :-)
Thank you very much.
Большое спасибо, Mike!!! У меня были вопросы по пользованию таким резцом, особенно по внутреннему точению. Ещё раз большое спасибо за урок!! Снимайте больше, ваши уроки очень полезны и интересны!
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Taylor Roberto Instablaster ;)
Thank u mike that was very useful information.
Glad you liked the video Manjit and thanks for watching.
@@MikeWaldt cool
Very interesting. Thanks.
Thank you Alan.
I swear I need to take a two-week vacation and head over to the UK to learn how to use traditional tools a little bit better and the skew. That tool is the one that scares me the most. Last time we had a little play session it decided to catch and the tool flew 3 inches from my face, and in the corner it still sits. I know confidence comes with practice practice practice, I just keep thinking the fear of the tool will help in some way, but I cannot seem to lift it from It's parking space. Lessons like that would be priceless! Many blessings to you Mike! I'll get it soon enough, I guess.😏👍😏
Lol ... thanks for your story, kind words, and support they are all much appreciated.
Thanks Mike
Glad you liked it.
Thank you, Mike for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You’ve made me a better turner. When you were mastering the spindle gouge did you find that the 30 degree bevel would catch more often?
Thank you for your kind words and support Daniel. TBH no as I only use it for very tight and fine cuts, and seem to always be more mindful when it is being used.
Thanks Mike! Another great tutorial. When you say 3/8" spindle gouge you are talking about the flute size, correct? Thanks. Stay well!
Thank you Eddie, generally it is the bar size not the flute, but this is not always the case, can vary between manufacturers
Very useful video Mike...as usual!👍🏻 I was wondering what exactly is it about the 1/4 inch gouge you don’t particularly like? Also is the 30 degree grind gouge tricky to use?
Thanks Ivor, I don't actually dislike the 1/4", I just find the 30° does all I need, snd I find it fine to use. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hello Mike, I think that you have just caused me to go back to the spindle gouge. I know it is my poor technique, but it has always given me a lot of chatter leading me to feel that it was too lightweight. I shall go back and refine my style.
As usual, many thanks. Regards, Glenn. :-)
Job done then Glenn 🙂
Glad you're going to persevere mate and thanks for watching.
Hello Mike, I’ve been watching you’re revisited series (as well as many other of you’re videos) and they have been soo valuable to my learning. One question I have if I may, is I understand from a different video you use the Sorby Pro Edge for sharpening/profiling your tools.
Question I have, is how do you achieve your 30 degree swept back grind on the Pro Edge?
My understanding was I would technically need to set a ‘pro set’ protrusion of 25 to then use the long grind jig to get 30 degree or? But the Proset does not go any less than 35 degrees. I hope that makes sense and thank you very much in advance. Joe
Hi Jo, I don't use the Pro Edge any more, however it is still a great piec of kit.
It is however a bit restrictive with achieving certain bevel angles .... like the one you mention. Cheers. Mike
@@MikeWaldt Hiya Mike, ahh okay I did wonder this as since writing this comment, I’ve since seen your latest post on your sharpening set up. Thank you for your thought though. In fact since I have actually been trying a 40 degree swept back grind for a ‘detail’ spindle gouge, which I’ve found can be done on the Pro Edge (using 35 degree protrusion & second hole), which I’m actually finding to work quite well. So I’m actually wondering if trying to pursue a 30 or 35 degree angle is worth it?
Thanks again for your reply and help, really appreciate it :)
How do you grind a 30 degree bevel fingernail using the SORBY proedge system?? Thanks for any info
Hi Michael, you have to alter the leg angle on the jig. Cheers. Mike
Mike. I know Europe and US measure gouges differently. When you differentiate between half-inch and three-eighths are you referring to diameter of tool stock or width of flute. I have ground my half-inch diameter spindle gouge down to nothing trying to find a grind that works for me. I am preparing to buy a new gouge.
Hi Ray, the flute mate, I wish manufacturers would standardise to save confusion.
Love the video Mike where do you get your wood from
Thank you Christopher, over the years I have collected wood from storm falls, been very fortunate to have been given and sent a lot from all over the world, and I know a few people who either rent or own woodland. Yes I'm very lucky 🙂
@@MikeWaldt i have now subscribed to your channel. Im only asking where you get your wood because i am looking for some hard wood because i cant get on with soft wood like pine.
Thanks for the sub Christopher.
Either on line, a local wood supplier, but best and cheapest a local hardwood window manufacturer, who often let you have off cuts for the price of a few beers 🙂
@@MikeWaldt brilliant idea thank you
Is there ever a reason to have a spindle gouge if you already have a bowl gouge? Is there any advantage to it?
If you need to do finer and tighter work the spindle gouge is a very useful tool to have in your armoury.
If you could only afford one spindle gouge, would you suggest the 45° or the 30° angle?
It would have to be the 30° as a 3/8" bowl gouge would suffice for 95% of the other work. Only my opinion though 🙂
@@MikeWaldt - and your opinion is worth quite a bit, sir! Thanks!
Can u show how u sharpen it on the pro edge m8
Hi Dewi, I did a video on the Pro Edge and sharpening a while back mate.
@@MikeWaldt thanks m8
Mike? where is #4 of this series.
Hi Michael
#4 was the Skew in two parts, here's the link to part one:
czcams.com/video/wKc-HVSA6-0/video.html
It’s weird, but I only get catches with my little 1/4 “ spindle gouge. I hate that damn tool! Skew chisel- no problems.
The 1/4" can be a catchy little tool, I think it is because it has very little stability.
