I am so glad that you put these videos up. A great way for me to go back and study the class I took to refresh projects that I learn at Craft Supplies, but haven't made in a while. Thanks Kirk for sharing your knowledge.

[@bradbyers7505]

Very well done from beginning to end. I saved this video so I can rewatch it. Again and again and again.

[@jimphilpott902]

Thorough demo! Love the thin walls and warping. Thank you.

[@kenvasko2285]

Wow, a lot to take in. Excellent. I went back and re-watched sections so it took a long time to get to the end. I don't have a lot of bowl gouges so I am not sure how I could make a Calabash bowl.
