I do like the thin-wall look. Thank you for demonstrating your approach, clear and instructive as always.
Another great video Kent. Thanks for your time.
Tried and true is amazing the people who make it live 15 mins from me!
Wow I really enjoyed this video wish I would have watched it before I blew up two bowls this week live and learn is this case it's watch and learn and live to turn another day. Thanks again for helping me with your videos.
Kent, I turn nearly everyday now (retirement is a good thing) but no matter how much I turn, your videos are always helpful as I pick up some small thing I can do better. Oh, yeah, the bowl is wonderful, too!
Thank you, Josh. Much appreciated! Happy Turning!
.
yes, me too!
Hi Kent, great video.
Thanks for watching Chris! Happy Turning!
Brilliant… tonnes of learning.. 👍
Thanks a lot for your help and response. I was just thinking about my post this morning when I woke up. Have a great Sunday
Enjoy the day. ;) Happy Turning!
Bought some khaya wood, kiln dried. Any suggestions to work with it? I am still pretty inexperienced with the lathe even though I already made a few candle holders, small bowls last year. I'm going to make a bigger bowl with the khaya wood, same size as yours on your video. I have a Wen lathe, not a big big one. Thanks for the answer if you can
I would argue that turning a bowl with a perfect, continuous curve is one of the hardest things to do in wood turning. Beautiful bowl
It can be challenging Nate. But, if you make that your goal, you will reach it. You might make a bunch of not-so-great bowls but that is a small price to pay when you finally get there. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I like the idea of "excavating the bowl." You really do make it look easy. Learned a lot. Thanks!
Thank you, Denise! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Really beautiful Kent. A lesson learned about turning the final nub: know the wood you’re turning. Cedar, pine and bass shear off way faster than ash or maple and oak. Get the soft woods close then chisel then off; just to be safe.
Thank you, Elmer. Good point. Happy Turning!
Great lesson, thank you
Just beautiful,I like it.
I love that bowl, so nice looking! Love a thin bowl, and the grain in that wood is so beautiful
Thank you, Liz! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great video as they all are. As a beginner, I’m constantly playing them as I turn! So helpful!
Janis, thanks for your kind words and views! All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
Kent, your videos are a must watch for me. After a stroke I need the jumpstart to get me going in the workshop. It's a gift. Thank you
Glad to help. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Your channel is the most informative turning channel I’ve seen. I wish I’d found it before a destroyed my spindle gouge on a bowl.
Thank you, Monk. Yes, that darn spindle gouge usually gets it first. Hope you are ok. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
This video is almost an hour and I literally just watched the whole thing. I just got a lathe and I've been binge watching your videos. Great content.
Beautiful bowl! I'm eating snacks out of a bowl that I turned very much like yours, with the thin wall look. Thanks again for the interesting video.
Ana, excellent! MAKES THE SNACKS TASTE BETTER, DOESN'T IT?!! ;) Happy Turning!
Nice bowl, skilfully turned and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it; thank you. Another reason why I tend to prefer tenon over recess is that there is a chance of cracking the wood around the foot when the chuck is used in expansion mode. Just my "penny's worth". Thanks again
Thank you, Fredrick. Yes, I'm not a mortise fan. I'll use them sometimes, but not often. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, I have been watching your videos for sometime now and with this video I got smacked across the head when I realized what you were saying about start cutting the inside wall first and leaving the center mass and slowly cutting the wall and slowly removing the center mass...that made so much sense to me. It was an eye opener. I have only been turning about three years, love your slow pace instructional videos. Keep up the great work.
Like the ash bowl. I been wanting to get into bowl turning an I have a lathe but it's around 40 years old an have to change speed with a step down pulley system.
Jimmy, you can do it. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great tutorial and lots of helpful tips - plus a beautiful bowl - many thanks!
Thank you, Bucky! Happy Turning!
Kent, once again a great video!! ... lots of inspiration and lots of reasons to go back over your archived videos and courses! ... one thing which you 'forgot' was your promise to show us the use of the sliding depth tool ... senior bowl turner moment! Cheers, Farmer John, Ontario, Canada
Thanks for watching, John! Hm, I'll have to show the depth tool in another video. Stay tuned. Happy Turning!
Excellent tutorial, thanks for posting this process. As a newbie your work shows me alot of tips and knowledge in an engaging and clear manner.
Thank you, Tim. Glad to help and Happy Turning!
Well done. The figure in the wood is fantastic.
Thank you very much! Happy Turning!
My kind of bowl. A "Jethro" size cereal bowl.
Kent, thank you for all the tips in your many videos. They helped me get to the next level of bowl turning. One thing I see you chip away with a chisel fir the spur drive. I just drill a 1.5 inch diameter forstner bit. It is a clean level surface to set the spur to.
Great idea. Thank you for writing and sharing! Happy Turning!
I know your not looking cudo's , but you are a pleasure to watch. So very informitive, easy to follow, and knowledgable. Hope you keep up the good work. Mike
Thank you, Mike! Much appreciated. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful bowl, Kent. I’ll use the tips on finishing. I love ash. Tanks for sharing.
Hi Kent, another great video for woodturners skills. I like your camerawork an the way you are explaining things very much. After three years of woodturning I still can learn a lot from you. Kind regards from Germany, Egbert
Thank you, Egbert! If you'll still learning, that means you're still getting better. Well done, keep it up! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Such fantastic videos. You are awesome.
Thank you, kindly!!! Happy Turning!
Another beautifu bowl. I am always inspired when I watch your videos. Thanks Kent.
Thank you kindly! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great bowl Kent! You make it look easy. I leave the center mass of the bowl like you do as I work to the center of the bowl but I still occasionally get chatter. Sharp tools and light cuts help a bunch but it's quite a delicate balance to eliminate that chatter. Good job!!
Thank you for writing and sharing, Scott! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, instead of using the 0000 steel wool, have you also tried using the left over Ash shavings? I find using them after I pre-sand before any finish is applied yields great results. Was curious if you had tried in the past. Thank you for all of your videos 👍.
Interesting, I'll have to give that a try. Happy Turning!
Absolutely beautiful bowl Kent. The grain is beautiful.
Thank you kindly Jean!
Excellent and enjoyable video Kent. I learn from each of your videos. Thank you very much.
My pleasure, Dane! Happy Turning!
Beautiful and helpful! 😀
the choice of log is critical to the outcome of a thin bowl
Yes, indeed, Conrad. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl i dont turn i paint
Another wonderful instructional video just packed full of good information. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Lois! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful bowl Kent 👍 The grain really pops and the Tried&True is a great finish. Really like your videos.
Thank you, Skip! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Another great, instructive job Ken.
Thank you kindly! Happy Turning!
Super tutorial, glad I found your channel, thanks 😀
Nice turning Kent! 🤘🏼 Happy Turning!!! 💫🪵
Thanks Douglas 👍 Happy Turning!
Just found your channel. Have been turning and teaching for several decades and have learned a lot just in this one video. Really enjoy your teaching style- no detail is too small to comment on (really the only consistent gig I get from my students, but I'm getting better!) Have been looking at modern sharpening system and love how fast yours works. New subscriber.
Thank you for writing and sharing and welcome! I think you'll find plenty more here and on my website www.TurnAWoodBowl.com All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Amazing knowledge your sharing ,thank you ! I’m learning so much 👍👍😇
You are so welcome Ben! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Very nice process, no drama! Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Craig. No drama is overrated. Lol Happy Turning!
Another great video. Thanks again Kent.
Thank you, Ken! Happy Turning!
Again, I really appreciate your teaching technique. Your clear instructions, with plenty of explanations, suit how I learn. Thank you!
Excellent. Thank you, Stephanie! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
perfect work, as ever ! A pleasure to watch, thank you ! Greetings from Austria
Thank you, Fritz! All the best to you and Happy Turning, in Austria!
Beautiful piece!
Thank you, Dana! Happy Turning!
Turned out real nice. Beautiful grains. Tried and True Original Finish , eh? I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Lou! Yes, give it a try I think you'll like. Happy Turning!
Just found your channel. I really appreciate your teaching style. Although I started turning over 15 years ago, I gave it a rest for many years and am now reacquainting myself with it. Your lessons are great for new turners and “intermediate” turners, like myself. Thank you!
Welcome aboard Thomas! Glad you're here. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Always informative and masterful.
Thank you, Martin! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Never ending source of valuable info!😊
Glad to hear that, Anne! Thank you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful bowl Kent.
Thank you, Jack! Happy Turning!
Beautiful job. I learned long ago as a machinist that the secret to a good job was patience. I would watch others who had to remove half an inch, dial .490 onto their machines and say, yeah, .010 for grind. But then the part would rip out of the vise, it would heat up and end up undersize or any number of other problems. Those were my thoughts as I watched you close in on the final outer shape, then turn the bowl around and creep up on the wall thickness, cut after cut. The finished product spoke highly of it's creator. Thank you once again for sharing and Happy New Year from New Hampshire.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Jon! Happy Turning!
Cool Trick!! Thank You!
My pleasure, Lewis! Happy Turning!
Another winner!
Thank you, David ;) Happy Turning!
Thank you for the great information and informative for a new guy 🤠
Glad it was helpful! Happy Turning!
At the Craft Centre I worked at we turned nearly all native woods, Ash been one of them I found it varied from moderately hard to very hard especially Olive Ash, nice bowl showing the grain off.
Thank you, Lewis! Ash is a great wood. I hope enough survives this infestation. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I really enjoyed your video the bowl was really really nice and the piece of wood is awesome
Thank you very much Amanda! Happy Turning!
Gorgeous ash wood grain.
Thank you, Nick! Happy Turning!
I learned a lot on using the bowl gouge. You make it look easy with no catches.
Glad to help John! You can do it too with practice. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating!
Nice video. Very thorough. I appreciate the fact that you are teaching good technique. There are a LOT of turners out there that forego technique in order to keep the video manageable. Great Job! I will be subscribing to your channel.
I appreciate that Alex! Yes, there are too many details to rush through the video. It wouldn't do the turning justice. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
So helpful Ken. Beautiful bowl. You make it look so damn easy lol !
Thank you, Jason! Happy Turning!
Good reminders as usual, thanks. I have a request: Could you do a video on turning a cube for a three cornered bowl. I'd love to see your method for this interesting project type. Thanks again.
I'll see about it, Barry. Happy Turning!
Ken, as always, a beautiful bowl and an informative, clear video. I have a suggestion for something different for your channel...arrange a video visit/tour of the Tried & True factory. I would love to see the process and people behind the product. Who knows, you could produce a few of these helpful 'outside the shop' resources a year.
Great suggestion, Les! I'll see what I can do. Happy Turning!
Great work, thanks for the complete demonstration-wonderful bowl, that's the only upside of the emerald ash borer - should be lots of ash at a good price.
Thank you, Mark. Yes, for awhile at least. Happy Turning!
Nicely done....Thx
Thank you, Michael! Happy Turning!
Got a new bowl gouge last week, almost an inch round..ohh the joy of using it removes material unbelievably fast. The problem now is the shavings are so thick my dust collection gets clogged. definitely a great investment for anyone considering the joy and stability alone is worth the $170.
You got the link my dude
@@desertsmeagol7073 i do but i think his settings dont allow me to post it 🤷
Sounds good. Large, but good. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Good stuff
Thank you! Happy Turning!
very good mate you take care
Thank you, Mark! Happy Turning!
😮my tenons sometimes go wonky and don’t hold the bowl steady. Did a mortise recently and it seemed to hold the bowl better, more stable? You’re right, it’s easier to blow out the bottom of the bowl, however you don’t have to shape a foot. Pros and cons?
Thank you for writing and sharing, Rand! It's harder to blow out the bottom with a tenon. The shoulder and tenon give you more wiggle room. Watch this for getting the tenon to hold better czcams.com/video/L6hvtsAgTI0/video.html Happy Turning!
Are you on you're way to Hollywood
LOL, not sure. ;) Happy Turning!
Kent, I used to make mortises all the time too until I began watching your videos and seeing the advantages of the tenon and shoulder. I'm sold on using a tenon and shoulder now. Thanks for the great video! Good catch at the end! Absolutely beautiful bowl.
Yay! A convert! Thank you for writing and sharing George! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thanks for the great video. What tool do you use to sign the bottom of the bowl? Thanks
Patrick, thanks. It's a woodburner and I have the link in my recommended gear section on my website www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/gear Happy Turning!
You mentioned not wanting to use CA glue for the crack and why you prefer using wood glue. Did I space out was that not covered here?
There are times when CA is great. Very thin crack especially.
Great video. I’m going to rewatch to really cement it. I don’t really get why opening the flute creates a more aggressive cut and increases the chance of a catch. Do you have a video on this?
Check out my turning course www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/turn We cover everything thoroughly there. If you open the flute and make a "normal" depth pass you will get a catch. Possibly a nasty catch. Happy Turning!
I'm new to wood turning and found centering a blank difficult. I decided to try using a 3/4" socket as a centering device. I center it under the blank and move it till the blank balances it self. Then I hold the socket in place, turn the blank over and draw a line around the socket.
Bill, sounds good. Thank you for writing and sharing! Happy Turning!
Kent, enjoyed the video, good looking bowl. Have you compared the Tried and True vs Howards Feed and wax? Looks like a similar product, I have not tried either finish yet. Tooling up my shop, soon will be testing out all my finishes and seeing what the "Boss Lady" likes best.
I have not tried that product. I just did a quick search and it has several ingredients, unlike Tried and True. It might be ok, but I like my T&T. ;) Happy Turning!
Phil do you do anything to contain shavings as they leave your lafe or you just let them go and clean them up later? Beautiful job as usual. Great videos. Thanks. Barry
Yes I do! Video on that coming soon. Stay tuned.
Do you have a video on tool rests and how to position them when turning? Thanks!
Yes, I sure do. Click the video section of my channel and scrolled down. You'll see it. Happy Turning!
Beautiful work Kent! I've got a question on sharpening the bowl gouge. Is it better for the grinding wheel to be turning toward you or away when sharpening? Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Interesting question Stephen. The wheel should be move "towards" you or over the top and down in front. I don't know of any grinding wheel that goes the other way. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl my WEN is a slow grinder water wheel like a tormek.
Excellent video Kent,do you put sanding sealer first before the linseed oil?
Thanks
Colin.
Thank you, Colin. I don't use sanding sealer, the linseed oil needs to work into the wood. Happy Turning!
Kent, Bonjour from France. Can I ask if you have a tutorial on the round carbide tool, please ?
No matter what I do, I get catches !
If you can help, I would be very happy to watch.... and Thank you.
William
Sorry I don't have a video on that William. However, be sure you have the tool at the centerline of your turning and not below. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
If you used a coring system to save the center of this blank for other bowls, how would that affect the approach to developing the thin walls?
Good question. Typically the first turning is still thick enough to support the whole piece from vibrating. I still work down the walls from top to bottom the same way with a twice turning. Happy Turning!
👍👍🔥🔥
I really want to try the Tried and True oil that you use, but it's not available in the UK :(
I understand, sorry. You can try making a blend of linseed oil and beeswax. I don't have a recipe unfortunately. Happy Turning!
Kent - The sanding mandrel you're using isn't the one you refer to in your recommended gear list - would you please post a link to a source for the one shown in this video?
OK, I'll see what I can do. Happy Turning!
Great video, only one question, isn't easier to start with a face plate? I'm very new turning .
Yohan, yes when you are starting and for larger pieces a faceplate is very good. As you grow you will want to use a drive center because you have more control of how the blank it mounted and balanced on the lathe. Good quesiton. Thanks and Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl I thought so! thanks for the info.
Do you comment as you are turning, or do you voice over? Either way, it is another great bowl?
Both! Usually a voice-over after the video is edited. Happy Turning!
wondering why you don't use some kind of bowl saver system to use the large amount of useable wood?
Well, Phillip, because I have bowl blanks coming out of my ears. And hurricane season is only a few months away. ;)
Thank you. Your videos are so helpfull. Unfortunately, I cant find that finish available in Australia. When you say that finish is beeswax and linseed oil. Do you mean natural linseed or boiled linseed oil?
Clive, sorry I wish this product was readily available everywhere. This is truly boiled linseed oil and not "boiled" like most other manufacturer's claim. Most others use metals and other chemicals in the "boiling" and cooling process. Tries & True makes small batches, not large commercial batches of the product, which is what makes them so different. They are basically make "old school" boiled linseed oil. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
when (if you do) do you use a stander bowl gouge as apposed to a swept back ground?
Good question, John. That is my standard. ;) Use what works best for you! Happy Turning!
29:57 you're cutting pretty far above centerline (the rest seems to be on center), I do that and thought it was not quite correct, but it looks fine when you do it.
Yes, that is a technique that allows the bevel to more gracefully maintain contact throughout the curve. Happy Turning!
What brand and kind of bowl calibers do you use?
Jerrie, see the description for the link. Happy Turning!
Now just a question... Are wooden bowls and plates turned like this or any way for that matter dishwasher safe? Or is it safer to hand wash them?
Just hand wash and towel dry immediately. Washing machine will destroy wood bowls. Happy Turning!
What is the calipers used in this viedo?
Jerrie, see the description. Happy Turning!
