Very useful video thank you. I used to free hand sharpen the bowl gouge, I am happy that I learned to do it, but nowadays I use a jig to do it. The reason why is that when I turn wood full time every day I am able to resharpen removing only the minimum amount of steel, but when I turn way less often I am not so precise free hand and even if I can get a good edge it needs some more passes on the grinding wheel. As gouge's steel is very expensive and to set the jig and sharpen takes only few seconds more compared to do it free hand ( if done in a smart way) I think that free hand sharpening bowl gouges is a good way for professional woodturners but not so much for those that sharpen less frequently as free hand sharpening is a skill that needs to be constantly maintained, if you sharpen many times each day you are spot on, but if you turn only a couple of bowls each week things are very different (at least for me).
Even folding the sanding mesh is like Richard 👍. I have this bowl gauge too, but I use it with the original sharpening. Maybe I am to old to change that 😀, I just turn wood for fun. Nice videos, well done.
Great information on sharpening, thanks for sharing. I use my Oneway jig, as I have not ventured into free hand sharpening as of yet Take care Cheers Harold
Nothing wrong with using a jig, if it gets the job done and you are back to turning that is awsome..... Thank you for watching and comment 😀 It means a lot to me☺️
Nice job. Your channel is from now one first channel i look avery day😊😊😊 And i have also to say that company Tobi and his owner is the best in our region. You can always call him if you have any problem
Nice gift, tell him he can send me one as well! 😎 For grinding I have totally given up on the grinding wheel. These days I'm using a belt sander for all my gouges. A belt sander gives me much better control and it takes off far less material.
I'm very much believer in light touch and it does not take much steel even with 80g wheel.... The most important thing is to find what works for you and stick with it..... It would not be interesting if we all do the same way☺️☺️
Your explanations are very good. Excellent demonstration of the steps required to shape a brand new bowl gouge. However I find it hard to see the result of your grindings because of all of the tool movement. Please try to hold the tool still as you are demonstrating the result of your grinding. Slow deliberate motions make it much easier to see what you have done. Also displaying the tool against a plain background helps. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you Glen, Still learning about filming this stuff ,and with time I'm getting better so very soon I'll do similar video but more in focus.... Thank you for watching and suggestion 😀
Hello Tom. I'm a new woodturner , old enough in age , from Greece and I leave in Lefkada. I would like to tell the brand name of the gouge, it's price and the point of the eshop you get it. Thanks for your help. All this information is helpful and very important for us. Have a nice time. Babis Mantzafos.
Hi Tom, thanks for sharing your technique. I sharpen in a very similar way. Have you considered getting a CBN wheel for your grinder? I changed over and they are brilliant, they do not take off as much steel so your gouges will last longer. All the best, Mike
Thank you Mike🤗 I have but this grinder needs to get upgraded as well so wainting for the female chairman to allow for some funds after regent😂.... I'm wainting for that as a I need a new grinder as well but soon hopefully ☺️
When I have new wheel then its 8inch diameter and I don't have to remove heel but since this was is well worn out , almost 6inch I like to reduce the heel .....thank you Ivan😀
Hi Tom, I really like your videos. Thanks for making them! I’m trying to improve my grinding technique and just wondering if you using a slow speed or normal speed grinder in this video?
Thank you very much for watching and support, its normal speed grinder, light touch is key to freehand sharpening....🤗 Expecially on high speed grinder
I tried to divorce myself from the jig after listening to Raffan, but honestly my brain goes all wonky when I look at the wheel and the tool tip and there's all this spinning and noise going on, so now I just "use the jig."
That is ok, there is nothing wrong with using a jig..... I come from woodworking background and my mentors were old masters which never had any jigs, so I learn to sharpen regular Carpenters chisels and planes by hand.... That was transfered to turning as well, plus I just could't justify buying one...... Like I said there is nothing wrong with jigs , if you are comfotble with it and can return to lathe as quickly that would be my way as well....
Perhaps at some point you 4-way guys will go really nuts and have a "the only requirement is to use dull tools" project :0 I think Richard came close with his "burned finish" vase. There are also people out there who use urushi techniques to turned "sloppy turned" cups and plates into things that look very much like pottery.
thanks for that, i have 3 years into this hobby, and sharpening is my greatest challenge , Bryan McCabe , AKA , Woodbutcher
Thank you Bryan, in couple of weeks I'll start on series about each specific tools and sharpening so that might help
Your clear instruction is incredibly helpful. Thank you.
RecordPower tools and chucks are awesome. Reasonably priced and good quality.

You always have such great, informative videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to help all of us.
Thank you very much
With this video, you immediately became one of my favourite woodturner TH-camrs.
Thank you very much, glad you liked it ☺️
May I ask what was that made your mind? Grinds, freehand sharpening or?
Thank you for sharing your method of gouge shaping & sharpening-I see the Richard Raffan influence! Kind Regards from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🛠🇦🇺🦘
Richard is my mentor and great influence..... Thank you for watching and support what I do 🤗
Your detailed knowledge about this amazes me.
Thank you ,hvala ti

What ever gets the job done🤗 Richard is my mentor and I learned a tone from him.....👍
Excellent tutorial 👍
Thank you James very much 🤗

Bonjour le grains de la meule est de combien ? Merci bonne continuation
Thank you, its 80 grit and 60 grit.... Now I have 100 cbn and 60 grit for rough shaping
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning thanks you
Zdravím Tom aký je tip sústruhu na ktorom robíte? Pekné, dobré video... 👍👍👍✊✊✊✊
Now I'm using CORONET REGENT from Record power

Why have you got rid of the record regent lathe
I got midi plus ll for the test and review, and I don't have space for two😀
