RIchard Findley: Turn Better Bowls Episode-2

[John K Jordan]

I see Richard has released his part 2 of his Turn Better Bowls videos.

As usual, he is masterful in explaining design decisions, tool expertise and explanation of the tool motions, and even the clarity and positioning of the camera. Good discussion of dealing with grain orientation. I'm not done watching it yet and even though turning bowls is not my primary focus, I am enjoying this video (as I did the first episode).

The first video in the series is about getting started, mounting options, truing, different cuts, and the reasons.
For those who are beginning and those who want to refine their game, these may be worth watching.

But ahah, he DOES hold tool handle by the right hand when appropriate!
An ambidextrous turner is a happy turner,,,

Thanks for the mention, John. Glad you’re enjoying the series. Episode 3 will be out on Tuesday evening (evening in the UK, I guess lunchtime in the US) with the fourth and final episode on the following Tuesday.

Richard, I keep a list of acceptable vids for my beginners, and these two went to the top of the list this week. Looking forward to the next ones!

Can't remember if I watched the first one. Got both on the to-do list for tonight.

Episode #3 is out now. Pretty good, even if he does not turn like I do.... But, no body does....
