Next time show us from the other side so we can see how you are presenting the gouge to the wood. I see long shavings, looks good.
I will do my best to film from the other side next time. I was filming with my phone so had it sitting in the best place I could find would be easier if I had a go pro but they are rather expensive. I will give it another try when I get the bowl into the chuck to hollow it out.
No I am not planning on doing anything like that I have only been turning for a year and still learning. Is there an issue with me letting people see me working at my lathe? If so I am more than happy to have the thread deleted.
Thats all good like I said will try to get footage if the actual cuts I make most, of my learning has been through sharing videos on Facebook and other turners have made suggestions on how I can improve and I also watch videos by the guys who share their knowledge on youtube (Mike Peace, Robo Hippy etc)
Yes I have seen your videos on sharpening I recognized them when I searched your you tube username, I have included some more footage this time hollowing out this round I rested my phone against the tailstock and I was running the lathe at 850rpm this time.
Your video is fine. My comment was only because I could not see you using the tool, and we can't help you. When things get back to normal, hopefully. soon, will you be able to go to a woodturners club, symposium or even a turning friend? As you know, NZ has some of the most talented artists in the world, most of them willing to share their knowledge. Keep having fun! Aloha
Excellent work! For the record, when I'm rough turning or even hollowing out, as long as that it is not a final cut, I go against the grain too. After all, we paid for both sides of the bowl gouge, so why not use them. I wish that were my line, LOL, that's from Del Stubbs, about 25 years ago. Aloha
Thanks Emiliano I had good advice from wood turners over here on the NZ woodturners facebook page as I do share alot of my work and the occasional video. I did start getting lessons from a woodturner but then I moved and work got busy with 6 day weeks I just could not fit everything into one day so ended up self teaching through watching videos on youtube and a good chunk of those wood turners I have watched I have learned alot from and I find posting videos a good learning tool as I do catch myself out while viewing them and I get great advice too by people who have viewed them but one thing I live by and Mike Peace and many other woodturners say it on thier videos and that is ride the bevel all my final cuts are with a robert sorby turn master which I also use for normal scraping and shear scraping.
The gouge had gone dull which is why I stopped the video then changed to my other bowl gouge
I do reposition the rest once I get to the point that I have to a curved rest is on the list for when I buy more stuff
