- In this video Sam covers some options for dealing with end grain or closed forms where it is not easy to see what you are turning. This is a safety issue as well as simply being able to turn comfortably..

Hi Sam, I took up wood turning this year. There are no classes where I live in Scotland, so I've spent many hours watching you-tube videos. I think your videos are the best and most instructive out there. I also like your non-pretentious delivery.
Thanks you so much for teaching me.

Glad to help and happy to hear from Scotland....Sam
I have always wondered how you would do that. Thanks.
Sam, great video. I’m a lefty and have been doing all my bowl interiors and hollowing from the back of the lathe for a long time. Still run it counterclockwise, so I am cutting on the side away from me. Gives me a pretty good view of the cut. I had such poor tool control trying to do the interiors from the front of the lathe. Thought I may be doing something wrong till I discussed with Mike Mahoney and he often does the same. Doesn’t help a righty but has vastly improved my interiors
Great information. Thanks, Sam!
Always good content from you, Sam. Much appreciated!
Good Morning Sam, Thanks for posting this rather different video that addresses the "approach" to a problem rather than the "technique" needed to deal with it. I wanted to add one small bit that I've learned from sad experience... You commented on the challenge of cutting that little "dimple" at the center of the bottom. I'm turning a batch of yarn bowls and I've learned that a 2 inch sanding pad removes that dimple fast. However when a new turned like me gets carried away trying to remove the dimple. it's a lot more work leveling the divot you gouge out... way more work.
Thanks for all the great videos and for the outdoor shots of Wyoming. I lived in Idaho for 17 years and it's good to see Big Sky.
Regards,
TomB
Yes the dreaded dimple or pimple is an annoyance to us all. But sanding can get rid of it if it is not too big. Sam
Always good to pass on our experiences to those coming into turning! Good tips Sam👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good tips, Sam. Keeping your face away from the tool handle is really good advice. Another "Ask me how I know", moment. Heads up.
Very good "words of wisdom" ! Didn't learn with the fat lip but the bloody nose convinced me! Thanks Sam!
Take care, Dave
My accident left me with a slightly black eye and knocked my glassed off. 15 years ago. Sam
This is always a problem with me. I was making a pencil holder for me yesterday (about 3" deep) and it was hard. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much Sam hi learning a lot from you that was lessons thanks
Good info and thanks for sharing
Great tips. My skill level is not quite high enough to use them yet. Need lots more hours on what I can see. :-)
Same here - so thanks Sam for bringing up points I will encounter … some day
Thanks for watching Sam
Thanks Sam, I too also learn a lot and get great ideas from you and your work. I am disappointed in the coverage of this subject with a small lidded box. I would think that the question was more directed toward hollow forms which are 90% by feel.
That is a good point. I think with a small box you have the option of looking. With a hollow form you really don't. Thanks Sam
Another informative video Sam. Thanks. When you showed the hollow form it raised a question I have, which is: How smooth are the insides of your hollow forms? and how do you finish them inside? Especially the small hole ones.
Thanks again for your videos.
I only seal my hollow forms. Usually with shellac After I put a threaded insert into them you can't get a finger in there to feel. NO Sanding....life is too short. Sam
Thanks Sam.
Great Video Sam, thank you for your time my friend! I just turned my first hollow form today and ended up going through the bottom! Do you ever get frustrated with turning something and you can't wait to throw it in the firepit?
My shop is always well heated with failures. But I have a laser guide that is really helpful. I have not gone through ONE hollow form. You can get it
here..samangelo.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=laser%20guide It is a Ron Brown tool. I love it. Sam
Sam, Do you put a negative rake on that "Dale Nish" scraper? You seemed to be hoding it horizontal at times.
Yes it has a NR. Sam
Certainly agree in that you should do what you feel safe with. However as this video is all about safety the worst possible example is that you have no eye protection. Some will be say you should always wear a face shield, but no eye protection at all whatever the experience has to be a really bad example to set.
I am wearing glasses. I suppose that for some...this does not qualify as eye-protection. I do consider this minimal eye protection. And I do wear a face shield most of the time. Also there are many areas in this video where the lathe was NOT turning. But I appreciate that you are thinking about safety. My approach is if you feel you should wear a face shield-wear it. The key is knowing when to wear or use certain forms of protection. Sam
Great advice as always good work ........take care John
