Gary, not only are you an excellent craftsman but a very effective teacher. Your comments and guidance throughout the video are very insightful especially for a new turner. I look forward to viewing many more of your videos. Very nice creation on the colored off-center bowl. John von
Thanks for the video Gary! You just gave me an awesome idea for an "Eclipse" Bowl with the black/silver/white on inside of bowl for the moon and a yellow/orange sunburst around rim. PS It's Kurt R. from Facebook. Congrats on the World of Woodturners cover.
many thanks Martin, glad you liked it. Luckily I've not had one fly off yet, that's the reason you take your time and make the fit of the foot in the jam chuck nice and tight. :)
Well done Gary, the jam chuck was very interesting. Definitely going to give that a go and great use of color. Seeing some new opportunities with that. Thx
Again is it here getting ready to get out to the shop early Thursday AM.I discover this great video. Sitting here wondering how do you do what you do? I love my bowl turning and have discovered i am getting better . And then i see this and wonder how does he do this? Well i keep watching the videos over and over and learn more and more each and every time.. Really amazing .. Thanks Postalbob
Oh I love that one, thank you for the interesting video. As a 76 yr old artist with a snowballs chance in hell of ever operating a lathe, BUT I have learned some tips that I can possibly incorporate into some of my art pieces. I do at least have an airbrush. Thanks for taking us through your creative process. from AU
A stunning piece Gary, and a great insight into the methods you use to achieve it. Excellent video mate. Cheers Mike PS - Martin Saban-Smith Sent me over :)
Awesome Gary, great video. It was great to meet you at UKIWS yesterday. I will have a look at all your other videos in time. Hopefully see you next year if not before. Cheers, Jim.
+Gary Lowe Woodturner .I've found the Harrogate show in November. I doubt I will be going as I spent too much money in Coventry and there would be too much temptation. Cheers, Jim
My second visit to your videos. Really impressed with what you are producing there. Have you done any videos on actually how you go about sharpening your gouges? If so I'd like a link to watch them.
I stumbled across your channel last night while watching wood turning videos. Very impressed with your techniques, especially your coloring options! Subscribing for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Your work is Fantastic Gary. My hat's off to you. You said after you put a few coats of clear on your vase then you buff them up. Can you do a video on buffing your vase ? Matt
Hi Matt, many thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like it. I shall try to get round to shooting a few more videos soon and as you ask I will try and do one that explains the buffing/finishing procedures. Rgds Gary
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
Hi Gary, excelent video as usual. Just wondering if you can help, I've been looking for the metallic acrylic paint you use but to no avail, do you have the brand of the stuff you use please.
Hi Tony, many thanks glad you like it. The paints are made by Daler Rowney. You can get them from almost any art shop, or if not then the good old internet.
Gary Lowe Woodturner am moving back to Scotland next week. Would love to check out one of the galleries to purchase. They’re so pretty, more so when you know how it’s made.
HI Gary, I was wondering, is there anything to stop me finishing the bottom (tenon) of the bowl leaving sufficient wood for the jam chuck, that way I don't need to reverse chuck it later? Have you tried this? Debs
Great job! I have a question about the sand & sealer over the acrylic paints. Do you sand or even run some steel wool or a scotch brite pad over the sand & sealer before you put the final coat of lacquer?
Hey Butch, thanks for the comments. Yes it is a good idea to slightly flatten the sealer with fine sandpaper or similar prior to the final coats of lacquer
Gary, not only are you an excellent craftsman but a very effective teacher. Your comments and guidance throughout the video are very insightful especially for a new turner. I look forward to viewing many more of your videos. Very nice creation on the colored off-center bowl.

I've enjoyed watching this one and as always I've learned something again. Thanks for sharing your techniques Gary!
No problem Rudy, thanks for watching
Beautiful piece. Must admit I was expecting that bowl to fly off at some point. Excellent demonstration and fantastic end result.
many thanks Martin, glad you liked it. Luckily I've not had one fly off yet, that's the reason you take your time and make the fit of the foot in the jam chuck nice and tight. :)
A brilliantly inspirational video once again! I look forward to trying your methods.

Ali Ward many thanks Ali. Glad you like it
This is brilliant! Your coloring technique is stunning and I am enthralled with your off-center screw chuck! I'm definitely going to try this!!

Hi Gary. Thanks for the quick reply. will go the Google route
Interesting
Just finished the video. Thanks so much for sharing you methods. I need to try some of this. By the way, where do you find the matilic paint?
What an amazing bowl! And a fascinating process. Where do you sell your work?
Heather Bennett , just selling in local galleries just now or by word of mouth as have to renew website.
Gary Lowe Woodturner am moving back to Scotland next week. Would love to check out one of the galleries to purchase. They’re so pretty, more so when you know how it’s made.

Hey Butch, thanks for the comments. Yes it is a good idea to slightly flatten the sealer with fine sandpaper or similar prior to the final coats of lacquer
what angle are you gouges sharped at and can you use two sided tape on you off set chuck
45 degrees and yes if you want to
