    Surprised that I didn't comment about your turning here Rob. Technically, the tool you are using is a 'spindle detail gouge' and has a ) shaped flute. The spindle roughing gouge is another tool with a half round flute shape. It is intended for roughing out spindles.
    As for the grip on your tool, a line I used from an old black and white Hollywood movie about Cyrano De Bergerac. I knew it was really good when I heard a guest on the Roy Underhill show use it about holding hammers. Cyrano disarms a student, and then tells the student, "Hold the sword as you would a bird. Too tight and you kill it. Too loose and it flies away."

    paint the bevel with a sharpie befor sharpening. That way you can be sure you have covered all of it because you can see where you removed material.

    Hi Rob, I use a small mini lathe for dollhouse items. I try stair spindles & posts, bed spindles, legs, fireplace pillars, draw pulls etc. I work with 3/8" beach wood blanks. Do you mark the before the planing/cutting your piece. I need consistency for matching spindles.

    Dumb question: Trying to cleanup a cove, is it bad form to get a sanding spindle or even a rat-tail file in there to perfect it? A low-diameter spindle-shaped object can be made to act with a wider radius be angling it, no?

  • @Borescoped
    @Borescoped 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sooooo.... not but 10 minutes ago.... I understand what Rob was talking about. Yes, that 1000 grit side on a Trend WILL abrade your skin down pretty quickly, and you won’t even notice, until your blade starts looking red. Broke in the 300 side, took a plane blade to the 1000 side with the ruler to start working the back while following the 32 seconds to sharp video, wore the skin right off the side of the tip of my RH middle finger! Now I’m off to get some gauze at the store. I will have to watch this video when I get back LOL.

      As the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail would have said... it’s just a flesh wound. Just had to get it to stop bleeding, and learn to keep my finger up higher and on top of the plane blade when trying to work my old thing Stanley blade.
      Interesting video, it seems like once you’ve got the requisite tools and lathe, it could actually be kind of fun to make a bunch of shavings pretty quickly! For small garage shops starting up w/ only 110v power, is there a basic lathe you’d recommend starting out with Rob?

    I hear so much about slow-speed grinder for sharpening. Is that critical? Must it be slow-speed?

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm. There used to be a time when students were taught to pound the spindle blank onto the spur/star drive while it was mounted in the headstock. Don't know of any one who teaches that method any more. Primary reason is that the headstock bearings are not made for that type of load, and you can ruin them that way. Pound the drive into the end of the spindle blank while it is on the bench, then insert into the headstock. Yes, that pounding can damage even an old made in Canada General lathe.
    On the CBN wheels, 80 grit is very coarse. If I am only getting one, I suggest getting the 180 grit. It leaves a nice burr on scrapers, and a fairly utilitarian cutting edge for 90% of what you are turning.

    Hi Rob, hope you see this even though the video has been up for two months. You say you are using and sharpening a Spindle Gouge! I have been turning since 1960 (grade 9 Shop Class). Your gouge is a Bowl Gouge and you are putting a Traditional/Bottom Feeder grind on it. I am interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks, I enjoyed watching you on the lathe... PF Ontario

      @peterfabricius662 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RobCosmanWoodworking Hi Rob, thank you for such a quick reply. My reference to Spindle Gouge is for the shape of the grind and not the Mfg Name of the tool. So, Spindle gouges have a shallower (less than half of the steel is in the flute, more steel below the flute). Bowl gouges have a deeper flute to clear more chips, the flute is deeper than half of the steel.
      Now, for the different grinds: Spindle grind is about 25 degrees, very long using the thicker steel remaining from a shallower flute.. Bowl grind is steeper at about 55 degrees in either a “V” or “U” shaped flute, usually in a Fingernail shape about 3/4” long cutting edge. Traditional grinds are not ground back in the fingernail shape but rather just sharpened around the end, usually on the platform but can also be done as you demonstrated.
      I cannot see exactly how deep your flute is but since Henry Tailor calls it a Spindle Gouge I assume it has a shallow flute as I note above.
      The grind you are putting on your gouge is a traditional grind, very little steel taken back from the front edge, we usually do this for improved access to the bottom of bowls where the Fingernail grind will loose bevel contact as you round into the bottom of the bowl.
      Sorry to be so long winded but I know you are a stickler for details.

    I'm sure my experience is the same as other occasional turners. Ever time I need a spindle, I have to almost relearn what I forgot (including the runback teeth gritting). Each time I resolve to keep the practice up but I never do.

    @mikecalhoun8497 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Many, many great points during this video. Two that I picked up on immediately were, cut from the lower half of the skew and when you are getting saw dust instead of shaving, it's time to resharpen. I've never really known just when to resharpen the turning tools, I usually press on until I notice that it's taking a bit more pressure to cut the wood. Please do a video on the bowl gouge, it's the one tool that I have the most catches with.
