Thank your for your incredible knowledge!!!! Subscribed.. im gonna have to go back and watch some older ones. Ive been tirning a few years pretty seriously... At this point ive got all my jigs and sharpening system set up im now learning angles of tools and achieving perfect sharpness

Thanks - excellently explained

Some excellent info there, Ernie. Thank you.

Of course you can use a spindle detail gouge on a bowl, perfect for 'details' like beads. See Richard Raffan, who's been turning since the 70's and pretty well wrote the book on turning. th-cam.com/users/richardraffanwoodturning

A very interesting router. It was used for an interesting project. I assume the work piece was for your wifes loom. I always enjoy your videos even though they don't always apply to me. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

That was a bit of an inspiration. Thank you.

wonderful. thank you !

I am not a weaver but if you say it is slick, who am I to disagree. Anything coming out of the Conover Shop has to be great.🙂🙂

Thank you....

Glad you are keeping this stuff alive - most of the old wheels and looms were used as firewood or rotted. Good work.

Best explanation of the bowl gouge I have seen

Ernie is an outstanding craftsman and teacher. Good for him embracing the new technology!

Round bar spindle gouges are fine on the exterior, just make bevel supported cuts,

I have seen demos of this machine before. However this is the only one that really demonstrates how to set up and use it. It appears to be just what the sign maker needs for creating one of a kind signs. Not something I personally need though. Still, thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

I'm impressed. All this time I've been intimidated by the bowl gouge, until I stumbled on this video. Now I'm a subscriber. I enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing you knowledge and time.

I can tell you have the technique down pat,I would imagine hundreds of hours cutting bowl's 😊

Saturday Jan 13 4:15 pm great video lots of information... how do you keep the gouge from bouncing on the bottom end cut? That's the issue I have so I use a round nose scraper to finish the bottom.

Thank you. :-)

I’ve been turning for some years, but I’ve never heard such a comprehensive explanation of scrapers; their use and when to hone for a fine burr. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise.

I started in a small joiners shop at 16 , They had an 85yr old cabinet maker who I could see was rocking his chisel so I shouted over the workshop to point out his mistake !.. Within half a second the said chisel narrowly missed my head ..I NEVER gave anyone advice after that !!!!

Thank you Susan. I really enjoyed the class I took with you at MLH this past summer. This video is like having you right in the room with me. I know I'll be referring to it on a regular basis. You are such a clear and thorough instructor. I'm thankful to have found you.

That helps a ton! Thanks

Excellent, clear video! Thank you. Lots of people have the skills, but don't actually know what they are doing to make it work. Your specific info about the position of the tool, position and pressure of left hand, rotating the tool and angling the tool to cut are all precise and specific enough that I will be able to build my own understanding of the tools behavior from those observations. It will be really helpful.

Do you have a source for the tie on bar that you are using? thanks so much

Great help

Susan, thank you so much! By the time I got back to this step in dressing the loom, I would have completely forgotten all those details. ❤❤❤

I am not a weaver but this video was very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

I've watched dozens of good videos over the last week and starting to get it. But I wish I had seen this one first! Thanks for the clear explanation and demonstration, especially how to feel for that sweet spot.

That is a lot of work. I am glad I didn't grow up on a farm where I had to do that chore. But it is a fascinating process. Will you do a video of processing the flax to linen? Thank you for sharing Ernie. Have a great day and stay safe.

Great presentation

Got here I don't know how but some happy that's AWESOME the way you handle that blow gouge thanks so much and yes I have subscribe to your channel!!!👍

Thanks Ernie! Helped me a lot, making my daughter a desk with drawers. Merry Christmas!

Do you sell this wheel

I'm glad I discovered this video. I just bought a 55° bowl gouge and I'm having a hard time getting it to cut. My old Bowl gouge is a much steeper angle and I can cut with it all day long. I think I've been working a little bit below Center Line. I'm going to try it tomorrow thanks for posting

what you show me is something i have been trying to do for a few mouth and i could not get it to cut the way i what it too . But you show me and explained it a way i understand and i try it , I did it the first it .

Where did you get that screwdriver

BRILLIANT. Thank You So Much. What a difference this made. No more gouge skipping and jumping all over the place Thank You 🙏

Thanks Ernie. Since I am not that good at gouges and I don't use the skew enough to become an expert, my scrapers save the day quite a bit. If used like you have demonstrated, they are easier to use, far more gentle than say a spindle gouge is. I will look into the Veritas Burnisher as well. Stay safe!!

Your ability with a bowl gouge is impressive but to say that you can’t use a spindle gouge for face work is simply not the case. Watch what Richard Raffan does with them. True presenting in the manner you you showed is certainly not the true way to use it but it is very effective for both roughing and final finish cuts in bowl turning. You present much like a bowl gouge.

Great video thanks for sharing and thanks for the time and effort

Brilliant video, Ernie - you make it seem so simple!

May I ask what "Grind Angle" the Bowl Gouge is that your using? Excellent demo, haven't seen things slowed down as such that I can actually see what's going on, what bevel angle I need to focus on and when. Thanks so much for your well explained demo :)

Awesome work. 😎

Awesome instructions ! Ty

Thankyou, this was very helpful to me, a complete beginner.

I’ve been taught to never have the flute completely open, but you do this a lot? Can you explain? Clearly your results are good

Man that was very helpful. Thanks you

Looks great

Excellent Ernie! Haven't spoken in a while. I hope that everyone is doing well.

Really good looking cabinet Ernie. Nice drawer guide detail. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2022 and stay safe.
