Scraper safety and proper use on a bowl.... ALERT - there will be talking so prepare yourself 🤗 

Just to say thank you so much for the video. As a newish turner I found this so useful and I am now able to use the scraper much more safely. Still learning but getting better results. Not only are you a fabulous turner Tomislav but you are also an excellent teacher. So many other sites show beautiful turning like yours but the beginner is then left trying to work out how to replicate what they see safely. With your videos I learn so much. Thank you again.

This was super helpful! I’ve stayed away from scrapers in a lot of situations because they’re so grabby. Turns out I was presenting them to the wood incorrectly. After 20 years of turning I love that I’m still learning new things. Thank you!

Great instruction and simplification of the right way to do that! Really helped me quantify what I am learning by watching you and Mr. Raffan!

Two very good videos explains scrap and shear scraping. Well explained, thank you

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I which I had seen this (and Richard’s videos) before I converted my scrapers to negative rake. I am now going back to traditional scrapers without the fear of a catch and like the results.

Wow! The best explanations I have seen, read or listened to on using the scrapers.. Thank you very much

Thank you Tom for this great clarification about the use of te scaper with simple logical rules.

Thanks for your tips. I’ve learned more from this video than most I’ve watched.

Great video sir, you explain how to present and manipulate the tool very well.

Very useful information, thanks, never really considered the safety aspect of scrapers, so will help me keep myself and my projects in one piece.

Bravo. Vous avez abordé ce sujet de l'emploi des grattoirs très intelligemment et surtout vous avez attiré l'attention sur les risques de "plantage" à cause de l'angle d'attaque du bois. Vos avertissements sont très instructifs et bien éclairés par votre vidéo, car c'est un sujet auquel un néophyte ou débutant ne prête pas assez d'attention et c'est la catastrophe! Merci à vous pour cet éclairage et continuez ce bon travail.

Very useful and informative video. Thank you . Very interesting grain pattern in the bowl, from many angles you get the optical illusion of funnelling down a well.

You are a really good instructor. I've been turning for a while, but I still like to watch good teachers. Ya know, for marketing (and maybe for profit) purposes, you could offer a video of "The Making of Your Bowl", showing the highlights of a customer's bowl being made. Cheers!

Thank you so much, this video, as well as the one on sheer scraping, was quite helpful. I definitely understand better about catches and how they can cause a bowl to break up. 😊

Very clearly explained. I find your videos to be so informative. Thank you.

I wish you had been posting videos like these 10 years or so ago when I was learning how to get big catches on bowls. Would have enjoyed not having to chase the bowls around the shop as the bounced after being torn off the chuck. Oh, well, no one was hurt so that's all right. Nice job presenting the proper way to present the tool. Very clearly stated. I see some comments about sound. For some reason I have to turn the volume way up when I watch your videos and Richard Raffins. then when I go back to others videos I turn the volume down again. Don't know why but there it is.

Great explanation for a challenging tool for beginners.

Well done. Thank you

Another great video. Sadly common sense is in short supply 😀

I do prefer a shear scrape for my finish cuts, both inside and outside the bowl. My main scrapers are like the one you shear scrape with, about half the width is flat/square, and the rest is swept back.. With the standard scraping cut, they do fine across the bottom of the bowl because it is flat grain and you are not going down through the grain. They are lousy for the transition and up the walls of a bowl. Pretty much the same with NRSs (negative rake scrapers). That can depend a lot on the wood though. I have seen many use a swept back grind gouge on the inside of a bowl, and call it shear scraping, which it is not. At best, it might be a NRS. If the tool is held level, and the flutes are at 9 o'clock, then a big catch generally doesn't happen. What does cause that catch is if the flutes are at 10 or 11 o'clock. No bevel rub, and a pointed edge presented to the wood..... I think that is one I haven't done. I do like a burnished burr for my shear scraping.

Excellent explanation on using a scraper on the interior of a bowl. Maybe you could explain what caused the wave pattern on the inner side of the bowl. Again, an excellent video, thank you.

Another great video. Can you tell me, where did you buy the steel?

Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

Excellent demo thank you. Great tips. When you tilt the base from flat, for shear cut how much are you tilting generally? 45 degrees?

Thanks a lot very nice explanation using the scraper thanks. Robert

Just noticing that you are not trying to position the tool rest too far into the bowl..would like to learn your method for positioning the tool rest..thanks

Can you describe the method used to determine the appropriate height of a bench top in order to mount a new lathe. The height of a lathe from the floor must vary according to the to the physical dimensions of the individual (height of elbow from the floor)?? Can you explain what you use?

I Great explanation and well done!!

I like a technical video, thanks.

Nicely done.. I notice a lot of similarly in your stile and techniques as Richard raffan was he a big influence on you? Thank you

Tomislave razumijete li srpski? Trebaju mi neke informacije u vezi sa ovim, a ne znam engleski. Pozdrav
