Lesson 1 is the introduction to our new series of lessons for new woodturners, potential woodturners as well as experienced woodturners looking to brush up on their fundamentals. This is a 10-part series to help beginning wood turners build a solid foundation of woodturning skills to be able to create all the projects you are dreaming of. We will be discussing the wood lathe, woodturning safety and creating a cylinder or dowel with a spindle roughing gouge (amzn.to/3VZQa4n). We will be adding the lessons to a Playlist on the channel to make it easy to find the entire series.

Very informative. I will definitely subscribe to learn more . Thank you and I look forward to future videos.
Thank you! And if you ever have any questions please ask.
I subscribed because you seem to have it together. Nothing too fast or abrupt. Take your time. Turn some rounds.
I just bought a Central ... oh, heck. A Harbor Freight 10" x 18" lathe simply because it was on sale. Not really a good reason, but after 35 years of hobby and trades work in wood...ehh, why not. So I'm gonna follow along...see if I can make round stuff outta square stuff and, hopefully, have some fun along the way.
Congratulations on getting a lathe! Anything you can turn with is a great way to start! Have fun with it and hopefully these lessons help. Make sure you ask questions as they pop up. Thanks for watching!
In what situation would you use the tailstock spindle locking lever?
Almost always. If I am understanding your question, the only time I do not lock down the tail stock and quill or spindle is when I am drilling. Let me know if I miss understood your question. Thanks!
@@TurningStitchesOkay, thank you. I didn’t see that covered in the video. To be clear, I’m talking about the small lever on top of your tailstock, not the large lever that locks the tailstock to the bed of the lathe. What is that small lever used for?
When you tighten the small lever on top of the tail stock, it locks the live center in place. Technically that part is called a quill and I forgot to mention that in the video. Locking the quill (and therefore live center) in place it prevents it from becoming loose while you are turning. Occasionally, when you first start turning a piece you may need to retighten the live center (quill) as the point presses into the work piece. Essentially the live center can drill it out a little and it gets loose. Tightening the live center with the hand wheel resolves that.
Back to your first question. I almost always tighten that small handle down. The only time I leave that small handle loose is if I am using the tail stock for drilling. We will cover using the lathe for drilling in Lesson 8, so that will be coming up in several weeks.
Thanks for the question and clarifying. Since I did not cover this in the video, others probably have this question too.
@@TurningStitches Got it. That makes sense. Thank you. In all the YT videos I’ve watched about woodturning, I haven’t yet seen anyone explain the use of that little lever. And to your point, the “fix” when the wood becomes loose between centers seems to be just turning the tailstock hand wheel until it’s tight again. But overall, your video was good. Please keep making them.
Yeah have you watched this back?
You look like you interfere with the young
Thanks for watching!
@@TurningStitches I mean you look terrible
