The Peel Cut! One of the simpler cuts in woodturning but the first cut I do when starting every single bowl that I make. Subscribe to my channel to see more in-depth videos of key cuts used in bowl turning!
Very good, nice music. The only thing you didn't mention is opening or closing the flute, obviously, the more open the flute the heavier the cut, while closing it can make the cut more like a shear scrape.
Couldn’t see the detail of the flute angle very well… was this a bevel riding slice cut, or more of a closed flute scraping cut ?. I’ve tried a slicing cut riding the bevel on a pull cut only a time or two, and it was scary for me.
it's a peeling cut. if the grain was wonky, I would close the flute and scrape. I am not sure what happened with you tried to do a slicing cut but it should not be scary :)
It should. It’s more about the grain orientation than the wetness of the wood. For cleaner cuts (in general) speed up the lathe and slow down the tool. And make sure the tool is sharp.
Good practice is to start it off with the flute closed, so you're doing more of a shear scrape, then when you are comfortable try opening the flute more, which will put the tool into a cutting position on it's wing. All you can do is try, practise, in time you'll get the hang of it.
So relaxing!
Thank you for the closer look. Il helps understanding. 😃
Thank you!!

you're right - thank you for the feedback!!!
@@lathedback I picked up a few things from your video. Always room to learn and share.
there is so much more she could have told, taught, us.

Interesting technique. Most of the wood I turn is oak and very dry. Would this work on dry oak? Thank you 👍

I suck at this cut.

Are those Ashley Harwood tools?
Nope - Stuart Batty!
Hey, does your lathe allow overhead turning? Regards
what do you mean by overhead turning?
@@lathedback I mean whether the motor can be rotated at an angle to turn large objects
