Love the detailed demonstration and explanation. Really appreciate the time you take to fully explain as you go, Mike. Thanks much, Marlin
Thank you Marlin, glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers
Mike
You are an excellent teacher. Always clear with your explanations. Thank you.
Your kind words are much appreciated John, thank you as well :)
Take care
Mike
One of the best, Mike. Great techniques and beautifully executed. I’m going to recommend this to our new members as mandatory watching. Well done, Mate.
Thank you Graham, I really appreciate that mate :)

Mike
I hadn't turned anything in over three years, and found myself once again watching your videos to regain my confidence. Thanks again Mike. Starting another lidded box tomorrow morning.
Good Video. I am glad you used the round nose scraper and explained its use. I've always thought my 1/2'' round nose scraper was useless until you explained how to use it properly. Thanks.
Thank you! I’m just learning Woodturning and this video addressed some of the problems I just experienced. Starting my next piece tomorrow and I’ll be following these very helpful guidance. Thanks again!
Hi Gary I'm pleased that you find the videos of some use. Thanks for you're kind words and support.
I made my first lidded box using some tips from your video and it turned out great. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talents with the community! Your didactic method is concise and your quality camera work really helps as well. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words Travis, and I am really pleased that you found the video helpful, and enjoyed your first lidded box turning.
Here's to many, many more :)
Take care
Mike
Thank you so much. These videos are helping me tremendously. I just got into turning and I am hooked. I love this hobby
Thank you Jimmy.
I've only been turning for about a month now. All your beginners guides have been extremely valuable to my turning education and this video is right up there with them! Thank you Mike! Safe turning.
Hi Drew, very happy to hear that you find them of use, and thanks for your kind words.
Cheers
Mike
Very many thanks Mike. I very much appreciate your teaching approach. It is not hurried and gives time to really understand the techniques you are demonstrating. Thanks again, Russell
Glad you find my videos of some use Russell.
thanks for you support and kind words.
Cheers
Mike
Awesome instructional video. I bought a second hand lathe recently and don't have any bowl tools et, just spindle and this will open up a few more crafts to me. Many thanks for the time, effort and information Mike!
Glad you found the video of use, and thanks for watching.
Cheers
Mike
So many questions answered. Excellent instruction. Thank you!
Cheers Mike, will be putting this to use soon. Have been turning for a year now and feel confident enough to move onto end-grain work.
Glad you found the video useful.
Cheers
Mike
Very informative and interesting. I got so engrossed watching and learning that my coffee got cold. I am self taught and I always pick up a tip or two every time i watch you. Thanks again and i will now rewarm my coffee!
Hi Alan, sorry about the coffee my friend ;)
Cheers
Mike
Another great tutorial Mike, just what the doctor ordered for this beginner! only yesterday I tried hollowing out end grain on a glued up blank of segmented stathes similar to one of your earlier videos, and got into a real right mess to the point where I must admit I became disheartened, however you've just helped regain my confidence! I'm sure the RIGHT tool and the RIGHT way will now give me better results - I ain't giving up !! so thank you again for another video into my tutorial folder, cheers, Tony (from uk)

Great video Mike , Always come away having learnt something new.
Cheers mate Bram
Hi Bram, and thank you mate, much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks for making this great video. I am experienced with woodworking but a complete novice at turning. I want to make some small boxes and this helped me tremendously
Glad you found the video useful Tyler and thanks for watching.
I'm just starting to learn how to turn wood & was struggling with the issue of how to hollow end grain. And there was your video!
Excellent info. It addressed many of the questions & challenges I was having. Thank you very much!
Glad you found the video useful Robin, and thanks for watching.
Mike, you are a terrific teacher! Your explanations and reasoning are insightful and very, very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind words Gary, much appreciated.
Very educational and well demonstrated. As a relatively new woodturner, I focus on teachings like this to further my skills. Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏾
Glad you found the video useful Greg and thanks for watching.
Love the tutorials. I have started turning on a low end lathe and find I use a combination of the carbide tipped and standard HSS tools. I really liked the tutorial on the skew chisel and I am practicing that per your video. Wish I could add a picture of one of my small lidded boxes I am making for Christmas gifts this year. I can do these thanks to your video tutorials. Thanks again!

Hi Scott, so pleased to hear that you find my videos of use my friend.
Thank you for your kind words and support too :)

Mike
Thanks Mike, you are great to learn from, especially with things I didn't know.
Thank you William much appreciated.
I literally just started to learn wood turning and this was extremely helpful.
Thank you!
Glad to be of help ADG.
I am a beginner at woodturning, and you are my go to teacher for knowledge. Thanks for all your help Mr. Waldt.
Thank you for your kind words and support Brian, they are much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
Currently working on my first base, this helped immensely.
Glad you found the video useful John.
Another very useful video. A few things there that I have tried but now you have shown more options.
Glad to be of service Philip ;)
Take care
Mike
very informative mike. It's always good to catch up on the basics of wood turning. I think sometimes we get a little ramy and need to slow up and think a little bit. Keep bringing basics up once in a while. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Richard, I totally agree with your sentiments, and I think we are all guilty of it from time to time :)
Cheers
Mike
Thanks for the video with some useful tips.
I notice you started the video wearing a T shirt and a heater behind your good self but finished it without the aforementioned heater but now wearing a jacket!!!.
I grew up with pine, or deal as we used to call it, as a carpenter and joiner and l like it, when it is properly hand planed and sanded.
Keep on rabbiting, l enjoy it.
Thanks, Mike.
James
Hi James ... if I say it was a tad nippy ... that would be the understatement of the year mate.
Pine can be very decorative, I agree.
Take care
Mike
Another well produced lesson Mike,easy for anyone to follow👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you Alan, much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
Very informative again. You make it easy to understand. Thanks for another great video Mike.
Cheers John
Glad you found it useful John, and thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Thank you for all the good info. It was just what I was looking for.
Superb demonstration and well explained. Very helpful indeed. Many thanks for the video.
Thank you Graeme glad you found it of interest.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks for that Mike I never thought of using a spindle gouge for hollowing out I normally use a bowl gouge but I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you for showing the hollowing from the middle out I was wondering how it was done looks like I have a lot to practice now
Glad you found it of some use Graham, and thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
I bought my first lathe 2 weeks ago. I have been watching videos constantly to learn, and you are one of the best teachers! I am concentrating on the correct tools, sharpening methods, and presenting the chisel to the wood properly, of course safety first! I bought a 10x18 lathe, face shield, 8 piece harbor freight lathe HSS chisel set ($65. U.S., inexpensive, but I want to learn to sharpen correctly with this set), and a really good chuck, a Nova Precision Midi.I also bought a Rockler full size round carbide tool ($75 on sale! LOL). My first project was a spindle, creating various cuts. Second project, I made a wooden hammer. Third project was a pencil cup. I really enjoy turning, and videos like yours help us beginners to see how things are done RIGHT. I bought a Wolverine grinding system with a Vari-grind jig. That gets here tomorrow. No more turning until I sharpen these tools. (I bought the carbide tool to keep going, LOL). Looking forward to the explanation between the spindle and bowl gouges!
Thanks again! ~Rusty
Hi Richard, and thank you for your kind words and support.
Enjoy your woodturning journey.
Take care
Mike
I found this video very informative, I'm going to try my round scraper next time I hollow out. Thanks again Mike for your great videos.
Glad you found the video useful Miss Tee :)
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Great demo Mike! I liked the way you showed the position of the various tools you used. I'm making some small birdhouses, I'll have to give a couple of those methods a try. Well except for the Forstner bit, that's what I'm using now. Cheers, Rich
Hi Rich, glad you found it of some use.
Take care
Mike
Thank you Mike. Been having some issues in that area, and that explained more than a few of them :)
Glad you found the video of some use, and thanks for watching.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike. Very informative video. Explained why I'm catching. Good to meet you at Harrogate on the Saturday. Thanks again or the inspiration. Doug
Hi Doug, glad you enjoyed the video. it was a great pleasure to meet you at Harrogate mate :)
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike. I love the 6 mm carbide for end grain. You can soon hog some wood out. I've not tried using it at 45 degrees though. Will have to give that a go.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul, and thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike new to the hobby found your channel and comments very helpful, cheers
Thank you for your support Varsincity, much appreciated :)

Great video, Mike. You make it look easy!
Thank you Jack.
Luvin your tips for a beginner like me Mike. I'm about to start a project involving turning some Jarrah into a set of Port goblets. Now I know how to go about hollowing out the bowls. Cheers, Noel
Hi Noel, and thank you, and good luck with your project.
Take care
Mike
Very helpful before I give the box a go. Thanks. Gonna upgrade to traditional tools in a few months

Glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching.
Great video mike and thank for the tips
+Gav Boss
Thanks Gav, glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers Mike
Thank you so much for live speed examples. All the high-speed footage everyone does makes it look like you can move so much faster than you actually can. It's much easier to learn when someone such as yourself gives us the instruction at actual speed of cut.
Also, is it just me, or does anyone else blow at the screen trying to clear the chips and dust? I just realized I was doing it and it made me wonder.
Hi Thomas, I am guilty of fast speed videos when turning a piece, but not with what I would call a tutorial, such as this. As far as the blowing the dust away ... I really don't know about other people .. but I know I do! ;)
take care
Mike
Excellent video, just subscribed. Looking forward to more. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Mark, appreciate it.
Cheers
Mike
Thank You Mike, this will be most helpful. Saw a couple things that are going to help out a quite a bit Most helpful sir.
Glad to be of service Jason.
It is always good to see a variety of techniques to accomplish the same thing as one size does not fit all.
That is so true Mike, and thanks for stopping by my friend.
Take care
Mike
Great informative video Mike, I don't particularly like end grain hollowing but some projects require it, I'm teaching a class this weekend to turn a captive ring goblet and hollowing end grain is the part I'm dreading beginners doing..
last thing I want them to do is get a catch and throw the blank across the floor 😬
Cheers
Rob
i hear you, end grain hollowing is not as easy as you make it look matey ;-)
great info every day is a school day with you mike Thanks
Lol ... thank you George
Cheers
Mike
As a newby and someone having problems with hollowing end grain, I found the vid quite informative. I agree with George Whitfield in that most demos are too quick, we need to understand the set up such as tool rest height, speed etc, so thank you.
My pleasure Graeme and thanks for watching.
Excellent! Good variety. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and support.
Thanks Mike, very informative. I use the three step Forstner bit method for making boxes, and will experiment with the other methods for making Goblets. :)
Hi Peter and thank you my friend.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks I can use some help for end grain hollowing .this does help me .
Hi James, glad you found it of some use.
Take care
Mike
Good, helpful advice and tips, Mike. I can see this helping lots of turners. My preference is for spindle gouges - I've not had much success with carbide yet, but I haven't tried my Simon Hope 6mm carbide tool yet (only bought it in September...sigh...). Cheers!
Thanks Stewart, when you use the Hope tool you will love it ... I assure you mate ;0
Take care
Mike
Thank you Mike, that was very helpful.
Hi Pamela, my pleasure, glad you found it useful.
Cheers
Mike
Great tutorial. This is technique that I have not yet learned. I'm still a shameless scraper and I've got a lot of sanding to do every time. Thanks Mike!
Thanks Jimmie, if you like scrapers, go to Robo Hippy's channel, he is the scraper Guru, believe me :)
Cheers
Mike
Great tip. Thank you Mike!
My pleasure Jimmie :)

THANK YOU I just did my first little box tonight…… It was not pretty. So you showed me a lot on endgrain. Much appreciated!
Glad to be of assistance Susan and thanks for watching.
Susan Jilk mine wasnt pretty either, after it flew out of the chuck - twice! Its why we're here! 😁

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful for an old guy restarting.
Happy to hear you found the video useful and thanks for watching Peter.
Another great video mike, found very informative.
Thank you Dave, glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers
Mike
I think after being on my woodturning course yesterday and trying to learn hollowing... I need to watch this a few times more... ha ha
It’s not as easy as it looks I now know! But them nothing ever is...
Kevin
Hi Kevin, keep practicing, and it will come, I assure you mate.
Cheers
Mike
Excellent tips and tricks Mike! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful evening!
Thanks for watching Heath, much appreciated.
Take care
Mike
Newbie here. Long road ahead. I'm in the 'soak' up allinfo I can. I was still stumbling with hollowing, I think I'll be able to put your teaching to use. Thanks.........
Hi james, glad you found the video of some use mate.
Enjoy your turning.
Take care
Mike
Mike, I really appreciate your way commenting the various techniques to us.
The channels (NZ-woodtuning and Makers Central do not work (channel does not exist error)
Wish you a great chrismas time from Austria
+Christian Neumann
Hi Christian, thanks for your kind words and the heads up regarding the links, fixed and working now :).
Merry Christmas to you too mate.
Cheers
Mike
Nice one Mike. I liked particularly the positioning of the gouge when hollowing, It was 'understandable' (if that is the right expression). I have seen lots of similar vids but the demonstrators go so fast and you don't see clearly what part of the gouge they are starting with and revolving into the cut. I think similay close up vids would be most useful for newbies and not just for gouges, Thanks and hope you will do more similar. Oh by the way, you used a spindle gouge rather than a bowl gouge. I think viewers would like to understand the differences in each type?
Thanks George, appreciate it, and am glad you found the video of some use. I will try and remember to explain the difference between a spindle and bowl gouge in a future video.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks again Mike , I endorse the comment about slowly showing the tool angles etc. Very useful. I also notice you have put the guards back on the grinder. Regards Mike the grinder ( g3pga)
Glad you enjoyed it Mike, the grinder is a new one, and the guards only need a bit of modification, so I left them in place :)
Take care
Mike
Thanks again, I was hoping to find other ways to hollow end grain for boxes.
glad you found it of some use, and thanks for watching.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike! I'm making a knock for the coffee machine in our college staff room, and this may be just what I need to turn up a drum to tap out our grounds into. :-) Yes, the wood teachers live there, but it's assessment time and they're all way too busy.
Glad you found the video useful Jason.
Good tips about forester bits Mike. So many times I've seen people go straight in with a large bit and wind up up with it burned and blunt or stuck in the wood. Great video once more. Nice to see you at Harrogate. The Yorkshireman.
Hi Stu, you are so right mate, regarding the Forstner bits.
It was a great pleasure to finally meet you my friend.
Take care
Mike
Good post mike you forget what you showed us early days of turning good to take a step back and remember 😀👍
Thanks Gary, much appreciated.
