Hi Stephen, and thank you mate.

Mike
I’ve only had a lathe since July and everything I’ve been taught has been by you and Captain Eddie. I can’t thank you guys enough for all your wisdom and videos. Take care.
Glad to be of some help, and thanks for your support Mark.
Take care
Mike
Mike, your videos are so helpful to me as a new turner. Just got a parting tool and this was what I needed. Thanks
Thank you and my pleasure.
Spot on Mike! 👌🤘It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Have a wonderful weekend! Take care, Heath
Thank you Heath, much appreciated...you too my friend.
Take care

Mike, I’m really just getting started in wood turning, I’m gathering up the basic tools needed to get going I just want to tell you that your teaching has truly inspired me on following through with the craft. Thank you Sir and please keep the uploads coming.

Thank you for your very kind words Mr. Banks, I really do appreciate them.
Enjoy your turning journey my friend.
Take care
Mike
Thank you so much Mike for all the videos. I have just started turning and am finding my feet with absolutely everything, starting with pen making. Your videos on which tools to use and how to sharpen them were brilliant. I have gained much more confidence now to experiment, and I will know when the results show that I am using the tools properly. Keep up the good work! I will come back to these videos frequently.
Hi Simon and thank you for your kind words. I am really pleased to hear that some of my videos have been of interest to you.
Enjoy your turning journey my friend.
Cheers
Mike
Good info! I always appreciate your videos, they cut through a lot of the "mystic" clap trap and get to the point. Keep the wood turning, Sir!

Thanks Tarry, appreciate you're kind words.

Dear Mike; Thankyou very much for the great service you give. I have been following your vids since 2013, and through thick and thin, sickness and health. I had my own similar health problems (heart, brain, nerve damage as well in my case), and your vids were an inspiration to me: to keep on, do my best, then do better. I wanted to add, thanks for this vid today. I finally overcame a personal challenge-- I finally recreated the dreidle box you posted a while back. Yes, it was about something completely different, it's just that somehow, it helped me connect (finally!) how to put that project completely together just right. I wish I had half the skill you have, but even so, I am happy to have enough to follow you along and get the satisfaction of a good job whenever I can catch up. Cheers, thanks, and God Bless! Joe Whittaker
Hi Joe, I am really pleased to hear that you have successfully turned the Dreidel Box, they are fun to turn, and give much satisfaction when completed. Thank you for your continued support, and glad to hear that you have overcome the "nasty" things that life has a habit of throwing at us.
Take care
Mike
Excellent video series for beginners Mike. I just watched them all again. I finally got my lathe a couple of days ago and your videos are a great help. Making the dovetails with the parting tool was especially helpful.
+Kens Videos
Hi Ken, congratulations on getting the lathe, and I'm happy to hear that you find my videos of some help.
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike!!Another great tutorial, very informative for new and old turners. Even if I am still using an old mortice chisel as a parting tool.( too much of a cheap skate to buy the real deal). Keep up the good work!!All the best.........Andy.
Thank you Andy...and as usual a big LOL!! :)
Cheers
Mike
I don't think it matters how experienced you are Mike, you can always learn something new even with a simple video. Thanks for sharing some useful tips.
I do agree with you Phil, and thank you.
Cheers
Mike
Totally brilliant Mike thanks. Every time you do a video I learn something. Thanks a lot :)
Thank you Ian, it's very kind of you mate :)
Cheers
Mike
You are a born teacher, my friend. Very informative and extremely well explained! Where were you when I was just starting? Is it too late to correct my errors? Yeah, probably, I am an old dog after all. ;-) Take care, Mike, .....Gord
I really appreciate that Gord, especially coming from someone like you.
Absolutely no comment on your last statement, as I value your friendship ;)
Take care
Mike
Honestly did not know what the difference was between the diamond parting tool and the flat sided parting tool was. Very informative. Thank you
Hi Adam, glad you found some interest in the video.
Cheers
Mike
Great to see you back in action, Mike. Another informative helpful video for beginners and a timely reminder for those less new. I've been using a fluted parting tool for about 6 months now. It does a great clean job of parting without any binding. Unlike the diamond parting tool this jobbie will only part off so has zero versatility. That being said I've had no problem with tear out on a piece so it pays for itself. Am feeling slightly heady as been turning a camphor wood bowl, but my tubes are clear! Who needs Olbas Oil!
Thanks Graham, I didn't mention the fluted parting tool, as I haven't got one, and have no experience with it. Enjoy the Camphor...lol
Take care
Mike
Good job at explaining things for us beginners!! Cheers, Rich
+rgoodleaf
Thanks Rich, happy to hear that you found it of some use.
Take care
Mike
In addition to everything else I've learned from watching your videos today I learned the cutoff tool I bought several years ago has a built in width taper from tip to handle. That in itself was worth the price of admission. Thanks!
Hi David, and thank you, I really do appreciate your kind and supportive words.
Take care
Mike
Thank you, Mike. It's always good to have a refresher on any tool.
Best...
Alan.
Thanks for that Alan, appreciate it my friend.
Take care
Mike
Great instructions. I actually learned something. You can teach an old dog new tricks!!! Thanks.
Thank you Alan, not all sayings are always right :)
Cheers
Mike
I now know what I was doing wrong in sharping my parting tools. Thanks for the great info. Keep the videos coming, Mike. Mark
Glad to be of assistance Mark, and thanks for your support mate.
Cheers
Mike

Oh ... lol.... just saw this .

Mike
Hi As someone just starting out on turning I am enjoying the beginners guides .... many of us newbies know nowt and admit it..😀
Thank you Kevin, happy to hear that you find the series useful.
Cheers
Mike
Hi daft question....have you any knowledge of using or anyone else using old wooden furniture items for turning? Using the wood for a new life?
Not daft at all Kevin, many a great turned piece has risen from the ashes like a phoenix, from re purposed old furniture :)
Now there's a video ! Or one on wood for free😀
Great video as always Mike. Amazing how much you take for granted and some of the little details you didn;t know or forget about. Just one thing you didn't cover was when to ride the bevel and when to scrape. As a beginners guide riding the bevel on end grain could be quite serious.
Thanks Paul....not sure I follow you mate
Cheers
Mike
On a normal grain orientation on a bowl blank you need to do a scraping cut rather than try and ride the bevel due to cutting into the end grain. That's the way I took it.
Ah OK I see where you're coming from now :).
As I've never used a parting tool on a bowl for tenon or mortise I never thought about it, thanks for the comment.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you for this instructional video, and yes I am a newbie on the wood lathe.
I enjoyed the "how to" sharpening part of the video, especially the diamond card part.
I do have a question and one comment.
1. Do you have to use lapping fluid on the diamond card?.
2. I wish you would have went into more detail about the proper way to use the tool. You only talked briefly about " rub the bevel" but I also noticed on a couple of the cuts you seem to just plunge it into the wood.
Thanks for your comment an question.
Lapping fluid is not essential but reduces clogging the card and acts as a lubricant as well.
The plunge cut just nullifies the "fuzzies" on entry.
Thanks for watching.
Nice video thanks, I'm pretty new to woodturning and on a budget so Iv been practicing with Pine, but I'm getting a lot of tear out on the end grain. I know some of the issue is my technique but even hand sanding the bowl after scraping, roughly 75% of the outer edge of the bowl comes out lovely and smooth, the other sections have little strange 'cracks'. Any sanding, finishing tips would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Love your sharpening wheel. That'll be my next investment. Thanks!
I must say Jimmie the CBN wheels are one of my best investments :)
Cheers
Mike
thanks mike. very useful info. glad you have a new webcam
Thanks on both counts Val.
Cheers
Mike

Thank you Jack

Hi Mike, great video, thank you. Please advise what is the grinding wheel and sharpening jig you show...seems to be a diamond wheel but I can't find one in UK search. Thanks
Hi Steve, I now use the Sorby Pro Edge, but Axminster do CBN wheels by Woodcut.
Cheers
Mike
Nice tips there Mike. I need some good wheels My steel is going down fast.

Should the rpm's be high when using this parting tool? Secondly, what diamond sharpening stone grit do you suggest? Coarse 325 grit, Medium 600 grit or fine 1000 grit?
Hi Philip, you don't want high rpm when parting off as it can burn the wood, depending on the species of wood I tend to oart off around 600 to 700 rpm. The grits you are asking about ... diakond hone or grinding wheel?
Hi Mike hope im not asking a dumb question. A neighbour cut down a tree it's quite big in circumference at 40cm but he cut it at a thickness of about 15cm. The pith is quite off centre. So the main question is. Can I make a bowl using the face of the log? Cause I always see the guys cutting the log through the centre at the pith or they cut either side of the pith. So I ask again can you make a bowl using the face of a log or are those pieces of wood useless to me. Thanks always enjoy your videos.
Hi Nazeem, the quick answer is yes you can turn "end grain" bowls. If you search for them on TH-cam, you will find videos on turning them, which should give you some hints and tips.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Mike
Mike Waldt Thank Sir 👍
Another good guide Michael
Thank you Michael, appreciate it.
Cheers
Mike
Please can you tell me what rpm your lathe is doing ? Also how do you know when the tool needs sharpening ?
About 1500 RPM Mart, and when you feel the tool is not cutting as easily as it should, don't force it into the wood, it's time to sharpen.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you for all the help, made my first bowl today imgur.com/zRJymrY
If you don't mind me suggesting, a good guide would also be about using different types of chucks and when to use what.
I'll take that on board, maybe sometime in the future :)
Cheers
Mike
Many thanks Mike, that was very helpful.
Thank you Pamela
Cheers
Mike
mike what is the parting tool you prefer and use most,,and who makes it,,
+jeff oldham
Hi Jeff, I used to love my diamond parting tool but now I always use either my Carter and Sons 1/8" or my Ashley Isles 1/16", depends on the job at hand. In fact I sold the diamond parting tool as I never used it.
Cheers
Mike

My pleasure, and thanks for watching.

How do you know what speed you need to part off with ?, Thank you
It comes with experience Mark, I always suggest around 1000 RPM to begin with, for spindle work, and then alter to a speed that you are comfortable with, that gives you the best results.
Cheers
Mike
Very helpful! THank you!
Thank you Kent, much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Great info. Mike cheers .
Thank you Glen
Cheers
Mike
Should the cut start below or above the center ?
Hi Mart, start the cut just above centre, and proceed in an arc toward the centre of the blank, maintaining bevel contact at all times.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you again
Great video, thanks mate :-)

You grew a beard between #11 and #12. Before you began to talk, I thought you had a stand in. :)
+Irish Chippy
LMAO :)
What would be the essential tools you suggest to get for someone who is starting out?
You won't go far wrong with a good quality "starter" set of tools, most manufacturers offer these sets, to get you started, and they will cover the vast majority of your needs.
cheers
