I’ve watched many beginning wood turning videos on TH-cam and this is by far the best I’ve seen. Jon Siegel is a wealth of knowledge and a great instructor. Thank you for sharing your decades of experience with us.
Within the first hr, you have already advanced my knowledge of wood turning and technique. More so than I have learned in the last few months, no, really. Your examples and explanations are truly a teaching tool that I have caught on to quickly. TY
To all involved in putting this video together Thanks, I’ve been turning between centers now for 15 years, have made a handful of vessels but contract center work, never had formal training but have read a lot online and taught my self through mistakes, I really enjoy what TH-cam has afforded me in visual instruction, though what I’ve learned at my lathe I always enjoy being confirmed by professionals like Jon, also the nuggets that I’ve not gleaned or thought of! Again Thanks!
I have to say I love this guy, one of the best tutorial presentations of the spindle gouge that I have seen and I have watched quite a few. Reminds of my shop teacher back in the 70s and now that I am in my 50s I have just gotten back into woodworking and woodturning. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
1:08 When I started wood turning the skew was the first tool I learned how to use. It can do everything but coves with a small radius and hollowing. Apart from that, it can do anything from roughing to finishing. That´s why it´s such an essential tool.
WOW! Master class on spindle turning. It was a deep dive on entry, tool angles, hand and body position, and on and on...WOW! I didn't want it to end. Thanks, I needed that.
Jon, I’m a furniture builder and a wannabe turner. This is second time I’ve watched you. Aside from your skills I love your humor and math lessons🤪 your skills translate to me. Thanks Walt
Moving foot to left, when cutting left was helpful..spent 3 hours learning making first bowl. I was not ready..found you helpful. I kept telling teacher..i am stuck..68 lady learning how..love turning..
Jon, I've just come across this video. I like it because you give clear instructions followed by practical examples all in all a very enjoyable learning experience
Great video. I learned turning about 20 years ago from a hollow form turner. Spindle never came up. Then a friend needed some replacement balusters and asked if I could do them and I just jumped in. All that to say that I always just assumed you should change hands between left and right. I'll have to play with just using the right.
John & camera guy, Amazing job, for me as a beginner it was a wealth of info. My only question & maybe i missed a section, what speeds RPM were you running the practice pieces at ? Regards Dave
This is the best turning video I have ever seen.

Really first class Jon. Excellent introduction. Thank you.
Very informative as a new turner for bout 3 yrs it’s always a learning curve every day thanks
A big thank you to Jon Siegel! I'm thinking of getting into turning and his great guidance is VERY useful.
A true gift of knowledge sharing from years of experience. Priceless!
Thank you.

truly excellent instruction!
Excellent demonstration!
Wow! Excellent video. I’m heading out to my workshop right now. Thank you so much.
Well presented video,and excellent turning.
Thank you for explaining the process so well I have learnt a great deal from this video.
Nice video. Guys, if you want the younger crowd to join in then a push to also have CNC included is a must.
Fantastic - Thank you a lot.
excellent thanks Jon
Outstanding video, thanks for sharing and thanks for the time and effort.

This is an amazing class. Very clear and easy to understand. love it. Does Jon Segal have a youtube channel?

1 option you never mentioned is for a new turner to learn to turn ambidextrous.Which would be much easier when your a newbie.
Do you ever cut left-handed?
Wow! My mother died on this date ...
