Say there Jim I use rubber roofing, if you know a roofer you can get lots of it,different thickness - liked your vid ,even if it is 4 years ago ha ha ha
@davidbentleywoodturner9948 At the end of this video while sharpening the pyramid, you were dipping the point into something. Was this peanut oil, or something else?
I notice in the video that you use a sanding stick to flatten the row of segments. How would it work if you installed a sanding disk made of Corina on the tail stock to do the flattening?
I used the same scraper you used in this demonstration, but I don't understand the negative bevel scraper and when that is used? Never mind it's all explained later on...
I've watched several of your videos and especially with bowl gouges what do you recommend for left-hand turners ? I thought about spinning reversed, but I'm afraid that the chuck will come unscrewed.
I have only turned one open segment bowl. I used the Seg-Easy 24 plate along with the stomper. The bowl was 99% successful. It was only 99% because I chipped one or two of the segments in the next to top ring. I was very happy with the way things worked and will do another one soon. I think using the Seg-Easy plates is quicker than the other two methods simply because you can insert all the segments in a row faster than placing and gluing the segments one at a time. Thank you for this three video series. It has been very helpful. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 I believe I have your book but cannot be certain as I recently moved and many boxes remain packed.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. I've watched a hundred videos for beginner bowl turning, and this Series 1 is the best and easiest to follow that I've found online for helping newbies get started safely and with confidence. There are a lot of really great woodturning videos out there on the net, but I recommend that newbies START HERE. Follow the lessons, build experience and confidence, and THEN explore the other guy's videos. Newbies will SAVE A TON OF TIME and have a lot more fun. Good job guys!
This is an absolutely wonderful series for beginners. I like your 101 and 201 series too, but I like this series the best. I'm using it, step by step, with my daughter who is in her 20s and is a bit timid about working around machinery. We love the slow, safe pace of this series and the types of cuts that it demonstrates. The teaching aides that you use are so helpful to understanding how to present the tool. Thank you so much for putting it online.
Is the orientation of the mallet between centers intentional? Could you do the project with the mallet handle on the head stock side and the mallet head on the tail stock side?
Very good presentation on a topic not widely discussed. Is it true that the cutter in hollowing jigs are “scrapers”. And what about the goose neck carbide tools made for hollowing?
