How to turn a bowl in 10 steps 

Look at all those comments by people who love your narration and instructions. Plus you have such a pretty voice.

Great instructions. Some of the best I've heard. Thanks. Appreciate it.

Those are wonderful lathes , I had just this same model some years ago....but on mine , I had to put a mirror on the wall behind it , so I could see what speeds I was turning at .when needed they hadn't moved it to the front yet. Great turning demo !

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It amazes me the patronising comments, mansplaining and back seating that women turners seem to get. I mean you’re literally an apprentice of one of the best professional turners left out there. Seems like commenters don’t do their homework before typing.

Very instructive. Like all the info regarding geometry of how to hold the gouge.

I very much appreciate your commentary and explanation of what you are doing and why. Thank you

This was an excellent step by step video. Felt like I was watching a Stuart Batty demo!

Excellent step by step video presentation. Thank you.

Great demonstration…thanks!

Great job, beautiful job using the bowl gouge. Thanks for the instructions on turning.

Good video! Always good to talk your way through things. Good explanation and tutorial!

Great info. Thanks for posting it.

Легко и грациозно! В изящных шортиках! Настоящая леди!!! Похоже, у Вас был хороший учитель. Прекрасная работа!

Great job explaining how you do things! 👌 Sure got me to subscribe! Thank you for sharing!

Still an amatuer to turning, so I'm always looking for good info and tips. Your video was very useful, informative, and user-friendly. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Good job and keep it up.thx.

Great video ….. really liked your explanation of steps and techniques used 👍🤠

good video, clear and to the point

Well done with very good explanation!

Nice video. Thank you for sharing 🌞

Good video. Smart turning.

Wonderful!!! Thank you!

Good tutorial. Observation/Recommendation…helmeted face shield please all the time. I would be dead twice if not for wearing one. One just never knows when/how it will occur….but it will eventually. I’m 76 y/o and have been turning for 50 years. I was adjusting a blank on the lathe and slowly (under 300 rpm) testing the balance when it unexpectedly split and blew up. A large chunk slammed into my face shield right between the eyes. Please, please. Good video.

An absolutely brilliant vid. Your explanations of everything (stand - hands etc) is probably as good if not the best online. You are bookmarked to watch again and again. 😉👏👏👏👏👏 (and again)

At 71 I'm a beginner so it's very helpful to get tips instead of just watching someone turning. Thank you!

Nice demo, good job

Nice video! 😌👍🏼

Thanks for this vidéo ! Very cool 👍🏻

I like that wood 🪵 😊 good jobThank for 😊sharing

Good video. I do things a little differently. When making entry cuts, I like to do so with the flute of the gouge in the closed position, which reduces kickback and catches on entry, then as the cut starts open the flute. When starting a turn as you did, I do so with the blank mounted between centres with what will be the bottom of the bowl towards the tailstock, and start my cuts and shaping the outside from the tailstock to the headstock. This reduces the need to flatten off the top or bottom, or even having to round the blank as you're removing that material anyway & gets the blank into balance sooner, and having to make two holding points, but most importantly removes me from having to be positioned in the line of fire if the blank, or bits of it were to come loose and be shrapnel. It also allows me to move the blank if needed for a better shape or to remove defects. Tailstock in place is always a good idea like you did for security, at least until a piece has the weight removed, and is in balance. Thanks for sharing, I've subscribed as well.

Harika. Ellerinize sağlık.👏👏👏👍

Good video. Hope there will be more. I subscribed.

EXCELENTE! MERECIDÍCIMO LIKE AMIGA!

HELLO THERE, MY FRIEND. GREAT JOB ON THE TURNING. THE WOOD GRAIN LOOKS GREAT. FROM SUB #537.AKA DOUG. 😀😀

Thank you, we’ll done. Always good to hear what you’re doing and why. Who makes the very long handled tool and the negative rack scraper. I’m really wanting to see the next step.

Amazing that’s way over my head but loved watching the process

great work..

Nicely done, new subscriber

Hi, I came across your channel and am very impressed. I have been given a lathe and will start to learn how to turn. I have subscribed to keep in contact with you.

Hello LathedBack, I don't own a moisture meter, so I weigh my rough turned blanks with kitchen scales until they equalise. Nice demo. Best regards. 🙃

Great video, what kind of tools are you using? Can you swap different cutters in one handle? They look like Ashley Harwood tools. If so, how do you like them? I keep looking at and trying to decide if they are worth the cost.

Thanks for sharing. Could you let us know what size gouges you are using and who the manufacturer is? Always curious about gouges and what grinds you use. Thank you!

Great video. Very instructional. What type of chuck do you use?

This Hast to be one of the best informative videos I've ever watched. I only have one question with that top you're wearing doesn't the chips drive you nuts. even wear a T-shirt. They bug me, again wonderful video.

Where did you get the scraper that you used on the outside of the bowl at 13.23 of the video. Got yourself a new subscription. Loved the video.

I can finally see why the long handle is being advocated by female woodturners---it make the body posture such, so that the long hair will not get near the turning objects. You've done an excellent job!

Good video.

verry nise work

Great video. Thank you!! Can you tell me where you got your face shield / respirator? Model number, etc.

Yay!! New video!!! Nice job at describing the direction of pressure and how you move, etc.. but...that looks alot like your old shop😁

Very well done and explained. My question is , once you started hollowing out the interior of the bowl, how much time did that take to do? TIA

Great work and great equipment - tell me more about your mask please, I have allergies and need filtered air / thanks Dick Hampton from Denver NC

muy bueno😂

Nice video, but i need to ask a question, in the first 3 minutes or so the bottom side is flatted with some sheercutting, why? What i do is to flatten the area where the bottom of the bowl will be, not more because that will be turned away anyway. A nice rough bowl it is!! Keep turning and filming!!

Did you take one of Ashley's classes? Your technique is great.

great watching you

Not many turners go from right hand to left hand during turning. I’ve always been told not to do that but I find it more comfortable and easier to get in proper position. I’m also happy to see you wearing pants while turning. 😂

What are you wearing for protection?

Love the video. Cringed when I saw the belt. If that caught it would pull your midsection into the lathe in an instant. Please consider doing something with the floppy loose ends.

Looks like you took an Ashley Harwood class. Very nice

Very informative step by step video with great descriptions of the process and of your techniques. My only suggestion would be to always wear the proper safety equipment when turning. You were not wearing a face shield in the beginning of the video, then later you were not wearing safety glasses and your face shield was not in place, so you were totally unprotected. Also, you should refrain from wearing jewelry or a wrist watch when turning. I say these not to criticize but to help you teach your viewers good safety practices. I commend you for a well produced and informative video. Thank you!

Nice 👍👍🙂 you

I am a carpenter I want this job.

Really good job for a girl. I just found your channel and subscribed as I do with all woodturners that I find. I hope you have thick skin, too many good turners give up their channels when they get harsh criticism or they struggle to get their number up. I hope you have what it takes to survive on here. I am curious about the negative rake scraper you were using, where did you find it? Keep turning.

A really good tutorial! It seems to me that your bowl gouge is so long that you are in an uncomfortable position when you are trying to hold the far end.

What Lathe is that?

If I held a bowl gouge with my thumb in the flute I would eventually get cramping in my thumb adductors. Why do yo do this?

The lack of a face shield and gloves is not safe.

First step go out and spend 4000 dollars!!!

Why make hard work for yourself….all the excess wood should’ve been taken off on the band saw…

Oh no. Please tell me you don't have the same Producer as Ashly Hardwood. That turned out to be a disaster for her.

The worst way in handling the gauge i've seen ever. The grip of both hands are dangerous!! You should'nt show your method to beginners !! Sorry 👎
