Turning a Cove 

Fabulous video. Can't wait to try the skew

Excellent instruction! Thank you.

Totally agree with RonRadliff - I am new to Woodturning, amd this is the best tuition I've watched...thanks very much.

John - Thanks for taking the time to produce this video. As a new wood turner, I have had difficulty using the spindle gouge without getting a catch and didn't know why I was getting them. Your video showing the way the tool is angled to the wood with the bevel pointing where you want to go then scooping will help me enormously going forward. Can't wait to practice it in the morning.

Thank you very much for publishing this video ..helped me al ot Yiannis (Athens Greece)

Simple the best and simplistic explanation about doing coves. Thank you sir!

I think this might be my new "go to" channel to learn about turning. Thanks for the detailed description of what you are doing and what doesn't work.

Very good video , I just learn a few thing from this video Great Job ,.

Very excellent instructions. Being a newbie this video has helped me improve my turning skills significantly. Thank you.

The tips you gave to prevent kickback and spiral cuts are extremely helpful. Great camera angle too. Look forward to viewing more videos of yours.

Really helpful, cheers.

Great video on hand sharpening. I have retired and started wood turning about six months ago and have not wanted to purchase a sharpening jig if I can hand do it. Your info was jut what I needed. I went to the shop, tried it and was quite satisfied with the results. Thanks for the video.

Thanks a lot! The best tutorial I had seen!

Thanks so much for taking the time to make and share this video. Great explanation of the process.

Thanks John, I'm on board with all these others; this is super and extremely helpful.

Thanks for the tip

Informative and helpful. It also made me hungry for ice cream.

I agree with the other viewers here. This offered several "ah ha" moments for me as a newbie. The ice cream analogy was particularly helpful. I'll be trying to implement these concepts today... Thank you!

Thanks John. Another useful video.

Just what I needed the hows and whys. I just bought a Crown Pro-PM detail giuge and all I get is a lot of catches and frustrations. I didn't scoop. I'm giving it a try ronight. Thank's buddy.

I have a passionate hate for this chisel as i dont know how to use it properly and just as i have almost finished a replica stair spindle i go to do the coves and it dances all over my hard work . Thanks for the tips fella !

thanks for that. that has really helped me as I didn't know that you could use a parting tool for sizing the cove.

Excellent tutorial thank you for sharing, this has helped very much

great video, learned a lot.

this helps a lot! Thank's!

Its a very good tutorial thanks

Love all your videos. Your videos should be given with every new lathe sold. There would be a lot less frustrated turners.

I'm a little confused by the first part of the video, turning downhill on the grain: once the piece rotates 180 degrees, you'll be cutting uphill. Does that mean one side will be smooth and the other jagged, always?

If I could only get 1 spindle gouge would you recommend a 3/8" or 1/2" - thank you

Fantastic !!! Please tell me what speed of the winch (rpm) you used ??

I shoud add that I started wood turning 2 weeks ago:)

how low is the tool rest? is that typical for a gouge? thx

Your explanations made a lot of sense to me....do you have a bead demonstration?.....a subscription?
